The Sons and Daughters of Italy Key West Lodge #2436 has teamed up with the Tropic Cinema to present, “Italian Night at the Movies” to support our 2025 scholarship fund for area High School seniors of Italian descent. Occurring once a month through June, next up in the series is “Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell,” on Wednesday, January 7. Buona Sera, Mrs. Campbell is a 1968 American comedy film starring Gina Lollobrigida, Shelley Winters, Phil Silvers, Peter Lawford and Telly Savalas.
During the WWII American occupation of Italy, American GIs are quartered in the homes of town residents in the village of San Forino, and recently orphaned Carla "Campbell" quarters at her small home one airman at a time. The 16-year old Carla seeks comfort and sleeps with each of the three American GIs quartered alone with her in the course of 10 days: Cpl. Phil Newman, Lt. Justin Young, and Sgt. Walter Braddock. After each, in turn, moves on, Carla discovers herself pregnant. Uncertain of which is the father, Carla writes to each of the three, who are unaware of the existence of the other two, to support "his" daughter, Gia, with monthly financial payments.
Doors open at 5:30; movie starts at 6:15 pm and the evening includes a Taste of Italy. The evening will also include a chance drawing.
Tickets are $20 per person and are available online at TropicCinema.com or day of at the Tropic Cinema, 416 Eaton St.
