Italian Film Festival Napier - Buona Sera, Mrs Campbell

During World War II, an Italian villager (Italian beauty Gina Lollobrigida in an award-winning role) befriends three American soldiers. Later, when unsure which of them fathered her daughter, she accepts support checks from all three soldiers. Twenty years later, a reunion unexpectedly brings the three veterans -- and their wives and children -- back to Italy and Mrs. Campbell panics as she endeavors to keep her lively past from her daughter.

A charming reminder of what movie comedies used to be like.
