Character Relationships in Come September

Sandy Stevens (played by Sandra Dee) appears in Come September. Sandy Stevens is a college student staying at the villa with the other girls. As a psychology major, she tries to treat Robert's supposed delusion and explains that he no longer owns the hotel. She is also the object of Tony's unsuccessful romantic advance and later shares her heartbreak with Lisa before reuniting with Tony. Tony (played by Bobby Darin) appears in Come September. Tony leads the group of college boys who encounter Robert on the road and later camp outside the villa after being denied reservations. He parties with the girls, makes a drunken and unsuccessful advance toward Sandy, and eventually reunites with her after Lisa sends him to her apartment. His rivalry with Robert helps drive the generational conflict. Maurice Clavell (played by Walter Slezak) appears in Come September. Maurice Clavell is Robert's crafty and enterprising majordomo. While Robert is away, he converts the villa into a luxury hotel and must conceal the business when Robert arrives unexpectedly. Maurice invents a story that Robert is mentally ill, manipulates the guests, and later interferes in Robert's pursuit of Lisa, while defending his costly care of the property. Margaret Allison (played by Brenda De Banzie) appears in Come September. Margaret Allison is the chaperone accompanying Sandy Stevens and the other college girls at the villa hotel. Her accidental slip on a champagne cork sends her to the hospital, delaying the guests' departure and extending the period during which Maurice must maintain his deception about the property's supposed hotel operation.
