Eighteen in the Sun
Diciottenni al sole
“Bikinis... And Girls! Dancing...And Girls! Parties...And Girls! - On a WILD weekend where the fun never sets!”
Synopsis
An Italian variation on the Frankie & Annette-Gidget beach party movies that were all the rage in North America in the early 60s. Nicole Molino (Catherine Spaak) and Nicola Molino (Gianni Garko) are not related to one another. In fact, they don’t even know each other until both are inadvertently assigned the same hotel room on the island of Ischia. Nicole isn’t interested in any hanky-panky, so Nicola reluctantly promises to keep his hands to himself.
