Be Seeing You, Father (Italian: Arrivederci, papà!) is a 1948 Italian period comedy film directed by Camillo Mastrocinque and starring Gino Bechi, Mariella Lotti and Silvana Pampanini.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Ottavio Scotti. The film was a breakthrough for Pampanini, who outshone the more established female star Lotti and rapidly gained appeal at the box office.[1]

Synopsis

The film takes place in the nineteenth century. Two as yet unborn children are allowed to select their future parents. They choose the daughter of a general and a young opera singer, but attempts to bring them together are far from simple.
