As Phil Silvers always said: gladdaseeya!, 9 August 2006
8/10
Author: Lee Eisenberg (eisenberg.lee@gmail.com) from Portland, Oregon, USA

"Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell" is one of those movies that had to come about sooner or later. Half excuse for a series of "Oh no...oh yes" situations, half excuse to show Gina Lollobrigida wearing skimpy dresses, it's not quite as funny as many of the comedies that came out during that era, but it does have it's moments. She plays a woman in an Italian village who got pregnant by one of three Americans (Phil Silvers, Peter Lawford, Telly Savalas) during WWII, and they've continued supporting her ever since, as each one believes himself to be the father. Now, all three men are returning to the village for a reunion - and bringing their wives - which of course is going to cause some embarrassing situations! So, this movie's nothing special, but it's just hilarious to see Silvers's conversations with his wife (Shelley Winters) and sons. And Gina Lollobrigida looks mighty fine in those dresses! Meow meow...

Also starring Lee Grant, Janet Margolin and Marian Moses.
