Abstract: A modified three-dimensional mean spherical model with a L-layer film geometry under Neumann-Neumann boundary conditions is considered. Two spherical fields are present in the model: a surface one fixes the mean square value of the spins at the boundaries at some $ho>0$, and a bulk one imposes the standard spherical constraint (the mean square value of the spins in the bulk equals one). The surface susceptibility $ch{i}_{1,1}$ has been evaluated exactly. For $ho=1$ we find that $ch{i}_{1,1}$ is finite at the bulk critical temperature $T_c$, in contrast with the recently derived value $gamm{a}_{1,1}=1$ in the case of just one global spherical constraint. The result $gamm{a}_{1,1}=1$ is recovered only if $ho=h{o}_c=2-(12K_c{)}^{-1}$, where $K_c$ is the dimensionless critical coupling. When $ho>h{o}_c$, $ch{i}_{1,1}$ diverges exponentially as $To{T}_c^{+}$. An effective hamiltonian which leads to an exactly solvable model with $gamm{a}_{1,1}=2$, the value for the $noinfty$ limit of the corresponding O(n) model, is proposed too.
