Dave wants to be a champion bicycle racer and he idolizes the Italian racing team -- so much so that he speaks, thinks, and acts Italian, all to his father's forlorn exasperation. Dave falls for a college girl, but is ashamed to admit where he's from, and instead poses as an Italian exchange student to impress her.

This light-hearted tale was a surprising word-of-mouth success at the box-office and won several awards, including an Academy Award for "Best Screenplay."
