Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell

During World War II, an Italian villager (Gina Lollobrigida) befriends three American soldiers. Later, when unsure which of them fathered the daughter she has, she invents a dead captain named Campbell, declares herself his widow and 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. Mrs. Campbell panics as she endeavors to keep her lively past from her daughter.
