action

A tour group travels from Berlin by bus to Italy. In addition to tour guide Robert Florian, the mannequin Ilse Knopf, the long-married couple Kätchen and Karl, plumber Mr. Kümmel, accountant Primus and the single Marianne Herzberg are on board. Shortly after leaving, Ilse's fiancé, the veterinarian Hans Fichte, followed the bus by car, as he missed Ilse at the bus parking lot. In Munich, on the other hand, Ilse's younger brother Herbert, who was hired by Hans to look after his fiancée, joins. Ilse reacts annoyed, especially since she has already cast an eye on tour guide Robert.

The tour group visits Venice first , where Kümmel treats the group to a romantic gondola ride. Robert and Ilse kiss under the Bridge of Sighs . The journey continues to Florence and Rome, where the following Hans is always at Ilse's side, sometimes reacting more and sometimes less jealously, but mostly looking for a room for the night. Robert continues to make advances to Ilse, who sometimes rejects and sometimes accepts. She stands between two men, especially since Hans made an unromantic marriage proposal to her in Berlin, which she refused. Marianne Herzberg cannot understand Ilse's vacillation because she would marry the first person to propose to her.

The journey continues to Naples. Hans and Herbert travel together in the car and on the way meet the American Helen Parker, whose car broke down without gas. Both help her out with the gasoline from her canister and in return receive an invitation to her villa in Sorrento . Hans and Herbert skip the stopover in Naples and travel directly to Sorrento. In the meantime, Ilse worries about Hans in Naples, whom she would have long suspected to be with herself. Herbert joins the tourist group in Sorrento and tells Ilse that Hans is no longer interested in her, since he even gave the American she met a bracelet. Robert sees his chance and flirts violently with Ilse. Before that he pays Hans a visit and tells him that Ilse has chosen him. Hans wants to leave the next day while the tourists want to continue on to the island of Capri . When Robert wanted to lead the hesitant Ilse to the ship and told her about meeting Hans the day before, she made up her mind. She leaves the tour group and goes back to Hans. Together they start their return journey and enjoy the beauty of Italy in peace.

production

Italy trip - love included was filmed from September 16 to October 31, 1957 on the Brenner , in Munich, Venice , Assisi , Rome, Naples, Sorrento and Terracina . Bad weather led to numerous rotations. The script therefore had to be partly rewritten. Another location was the CCC studios in Berlin-Spandau, where scenes from Italy were also filmed that had not been made there due to the rotary house falls in Italy. The film premiered on January 17, 1958 in the Ufa Pavilion in Berlin.

The coach used in the film , the tourism company Deutsche Touring founded in 1948 , was a KML 110 (45 seats) made by Krauss-Maffei .

criticism

On the occasion of the premiere of the film, Der Spiegel wrote:

“The standardized romance and the sightseeing drill of modern package tours are [...] graceful, if quite timidly faked. The stage director Wolfgang Becker has won pretty, colorful picture effects from the current theme and the bus route Berlin - Naples. But the southern sun and the shrewd direction lure no sign of talent from the pin-up star of the German film, Susanne Cramer. "

- The mirror 1958

For the lexicon of international films , Italy trip - love included was a "cheerful travel guide with a trivial triangular comedy based on the novel of the same name by Barbara Noack."
