Ah Rome, land of amore, pasta and a whole lotta bedrooms ' if you're Ray Hunter (Dean Martin), a hotel baron who stops in to buy a luxury hotel and stays to stage-manage the romantic lives of four comely Italian sisters. Lavishly filmed on location, Ten Thousand Bedrooms marks Martin's first film after he parted company with his longtime show-biz partner Jerry Lewis. And it's an ideal match of star and vehicle, showcasing the star's mellow pipes and relaxed style of wooing. Martin would go on to establish himself as a fine dramatic actor in such films as The Young Lions, Some Came Running and Rio Bravo, but it's carefree, swingin'-bachelor characters like Ray that many fans will always associate with Dino.g.
