Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell is a 1968 American comedy film directed by Melvin Frank, who co-wrote the original screenplay with Denis Norden and Sheldon Keller. The United Artists release was filmed at the Cinecittà Studios in Rome. It served as the basis for the unsuccessful 1979 stage musical Carmelina and the plot of the enormously successful stage musical Mamma Mia! and its 2008 movie version. The title character, Carla "Campbell" , is an Italian woman who — during the American occupation of Italy — slept with three American GIs in the course of ten days, Phil Newman ,... Justin Young , and Walter Braddock . By the time she discovers she is pregnant, all three have moved on and she, uncertain of which is the father, convinces each of the three to support "his" daughter, Gia, financially.
