Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell (1968)

Synopsis: In a small Italian town, a woman tells everyone that her daughter is the fruit of her marriage with an American World War II captain, who died soon afterwards. In reality, she slept with three different men during the War, and she later told each one of them he was the father, so that she could collect checks from all of them. The upcoming visit of the three of them with an American group for a celebration puts her in a state of panic.

Appraisal: Very bland comedy, with a very weak premise which resolves itself quite easily in the end, which was to be expected since it didn't make much sense from the beginning. The dialogue constantly tries to insert risqué allusions, which seem very dated and contrived.

Rating: 32
