Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Twenty years after their initial war-time visit three U.S. servicemen hold a reunion at an Italian village. They all have fond memories, especially of local girl Carla. But she has been telling each of them that they are the father of her daughter Gia, so they have all been paying well for her upbringing. As this dawns on the threesome old rivalries surface, but times have changed and complications such as wives, middle-age, and the need to protect Gia's future start to surface. Written by Jeremy Perkins {J-26}

Trivia
Besides being the wrong amount ($40,000 too high), the money cited by Justin as payments by the three GIs to Carla has no factual basis. Phil actually paid Carla $27,600 over 20 years - not $47,000. Walter actually paid her $20,400, not $41,000. And, Justin actually paid her $33,600. Their cumulative payments ($340 per month for 20 years) came to $81,600 - not $197,000. The actual inflationary value of the $81,600 in 1964 was $96,833. That assumes she kept all the money until 1964 and didn't spend any of it before then. The men would not have made 6% interest in savings. That is a hypothetical rate of return they might have made with wise investments. But, whether or not they would have made such investments, Carla Campbell only received $81,600 total from them over 20 years - at $4,080 per year. See more »Goofs

Former sex goddess Gina Lollobrigida is a gorgeous 40ish redhead in this screwball comedy set in Italy in 1968.
La Lollo plays the mother of the lovely Janet Margolin, whose American soldier father was supposedly killed during World War II. The thing is, Gina isn't sure who the father was, since she was friendly with three soldiers at the time, (played by Peter Lawford, Phil Silvers and Telly Savalas), and all are very much alive. Each of the three thinks he is the father and has been financially supporting the girl in secret for over 20 years. Trouble and hilarity ensue when the three men and their wives return to the Italian village for an Army reunion, and Gina has to juggle all six of them while keeping her daughter from finding out the truth.
It's a funny script that hearkens back to Hollywood's great screwball comedies, with especially good jobs from Silvers and Savalas and Shelley Winters and Lee Grant as their wives. But it's Gina who steals the show with her glamorous mugging.
