come september is a popular hollywood movie of 1963 featuring rock hudson and gina lollobrigida . this movie , directed by the noted filmmaker robert mulligan , was a hit around the world , including india where it had a successful run in places like madras .

one of the contributing factors for its success was the popular title music , ‘come september , ’ and the long - playing record , rendered by the famous american musician billy vaughn , was a bestseller even in madras city .

the movie narrated the tale of robert ( rock hudson ) , an american millionaire , who arrives early for his annual vacation at his luxurious italian villa . his long - time girlfriend lisa ( gina lollobrigida ) has given up waiting for him to “pop the question , ” and has decided to marry another man . meanwhile , his sneaky villa manager maurice secretly converts the villa into a hotel when the boss is away . the current guests of the “hotel” are a group of young american girls trying to fend off a gang of oversexed boys , led by tony ( famed singer bobby darin in his movie debut ) .

this interesting storyline was brilliantly adapted into a tamil film by the multifaceted writer - director - producer a . c . thirulokachandar , who was then working for the house of avm writing screenplays and also making movies . ‘act’ hails from an upper middle - class family of madras and after qualifying himself with an ma degree he worked hard to appear for the indian administrative service without thinking of a job .

even as a student he wrote stories and articles and was a voracious reader . his close friend and classmate p . balasubramaniam , son of the south indian movie pioneer r . padmanabhan , introduced him to his father and soon he joined rp as his assistant and learnt the ropes of moviemaking , especially screenplay writing . then he moved to the avm unit where he made his debut as a filmmaker…

anbe vaa was all about jb ( mgr ) , a wealthy industrialist , who decides to take a break at his simla home away from business concerns . he lands there to find that his caretaker ( sambandam ) has rented his house to geetha’s ( saroja devi ) family , taken the rent and left for kasi with his wife . his daughter manorama and brother - in - law nagesh are left in charge of the house and the guests . jb decides not to reveal his identity and pretends to be a wealthy man , balu , willing to pay rent for a place in the house . nagesh takes the money and gives him jb’s room .

balu keeps playing practical jokes on geetha and they keep clashing . she brings her friends who are on a trip to simla and tries to drive jb from the house . after he gets the friends on his side , she gets angry and tells her parents to get her married to asokan , a relative and an air force pilot .

by the time balu confesses his love for her , geetha’s engagement is already fixed . asokan turns out to be a school friend of jb , but he also agrees to play along with the trick . asokan discovers that balu and geetha are actually in love with each other and steps aside . when balu’s true identity is known , geetha thinks that the wedding plans are yet another of his practical jokes and tries to run away . he finds her and all misunderstandings are cleared . the two get married .

the screenplay was brilliantly written by act . mgr’s performance as the rich man posing as a tenant was impressive . nagesh was inimitable . saroja devi looked glamorous in her glossy make - up and costume .

the film was produced by the sons of av . meiyappan — murugan , saravanan and balasubramaniam .

with so many plus points , anbe vaa turned out to be a box office hit… .

remembered for the impressive performances by mgr , nagesh and saroja devi , melodious music , interesting storyline and screenplay , picturesque cinematography which captured the beautiful landscape of the himalayan region , and the fabulous sets in true avm style .
