This review is from: Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I discovered this film in the 80's, but remember when it was in the theatres in 1968. The material wasn't suitable for a 10 year old at the time. Still, I watched this film from a poor video taped from TV, and just howled. Phil Silvers plays the perfect schnook being married to Shelley Winters in the film, and being one of the three former "comforting" soldiers who was with lovely Gina Lolabrigida during the war. I don't know if they were nominated, but with their performances, both Lee Grant and Shelley Winters should have had Supporting Actress Oscars. Telly Savalas can get a little obnoxious, but still right for his role. Try this one for some great fun.

This movie isn't hilarious, but it is enjoyable and still relevant. Ultimately, the movie strikes a terrific balance--confirming the importance of maintaining a family through tolerant love, while dealing with what could have been a cheaply-treated scandalous secret. Gina Lollobrigida is a woman who has a nearly-adult daughter, but she doesn't know which of 3 WWII American servicemen is the father. She encounters a very "baby-boom"-ish concern--how to encourage upright behavior in her child despite her own suspect past--which is resolved in a satisfying but not simplistic manner. Strong but fallible men, strong but fallible women, and an uplifting ending. Good stuff, well done.
