Arrivederci, papà!

Two little angels, a boy and a girl, come down on earth to choose their parents prior to birth. They choose the daughter of a retired general as their future mother and an opera singer as their dad. But making the two chosen ones meet, fall in love and marry will prove to be anything but easy.

Directed by Camillo Mastrocinque, Arrivederci, papà! leans on a strong ensemble — Gino Bechi, Mariella Lotti, Silvana Pampanini — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1948.
