Italian Film Festival Opening Night

The Italian Film Festival warmly invites you to the Opening Night Film "Buona Sera, Mrs Campbell" at Event Cinemas in Palmerston North. The film starts at 6.00pm and Refreshments compliments of Peroni and San Pellegrino.

CAST Gina Lollobrigida, Shelley Winters, Phil Silvers, Peter Lawford, Telly Savalas

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.
