Very disappointing...

Very Cool!!!

the audience applauded

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

When I first saw this movie in 1969 I was 11 years old and was already realizing my own sexual preference. watching a young Ian McShane was very stimulating to my desires but the one that stole my heart was Luke Halpin who in this movie was 22 years old. I had more butterflies in my stomach watching him then i ever did in my life. The whole movie is very well done and its the kind of movie everybody in the family could watch with total ease and enjoyment..movies like this are not made anymore. The world was a different place back then.. and its sad we today have lost that way of simple living in America..

As you can see, others - not many others, granted, but others - liked this movie. I'll leave it to you to figure out why. It's true there are some fine comedians here, like Peggy Cass and Norman Fell. But they aren't given anything interesting to do. Cass's character only writes postcards, and with each new city, remarks on how it is spelled in the local language. That's not enough to create a funny character. Fell has no more to work with.The other characters have no more to them, and so no more chance to be funny or interesting.In general, the jokes are lame, and there are the usual ethnic stereotypes. This sort of rapid bus excursion through Europe, which still exists today, could provide all sorts of humor. But you don't get it here.What a shame.-----------------------The one thing I will say for this movie is that, since it was shot in various European locations in the late 1960s, it does give you a chance to see certain tourist sites like Venice as they once existed but now, overrun with tourists, can no longer be seen. Other than that, it seems hard to believe that a major studio like MGM could have released something that looks so underdone.

A delightful film which I have seen so many times. Having lived in Belgium I especially liked the comment about The Grand Place in Brussels, 'What's so grand about this place, take off the gilt and what have you got? Tenements.'The trip through London passing Woolworths etc and the comment 'It's just like home.' Packing all those toilet rolls.The comment by the Luxembourg waiter when asked for something the locals eat, 'the locals don't eat here, we only cater for our tourist friends.'The collapse of the suitcase of the man who stole things from his hotels.All in all a nice, funny, comfy film.Ian McShane and Suzanne Pleshette's performances are just right.

An all-star cast of 1960s comedians embark on a guided tour to see 9 European countries in 18 days. A very attractive "pre-Bob" Suzanne Plechette is the focus of a young tour guide (and the film), who sees the successful American tourist as his ultimate amorous challenge. Through many very funny situations involving the colorful cast, the two leads eventually fall in love. At the end of the trip Suzanne must choose between champagne and caviar in her metropolitan US home or cheese with cheap wine with a sincere, but common man in Europe. What would Leona do?This lighthearted entertainment certainly reflects the times it was filmed in (1969). American tourists had rightfully earned a certain "reputation" regarding their adventures in Europe (including the affairs of American servicemen in WWII). I was put off more by the constant negative remarks from the Suzanne Plechette character. She acted like a total snob and alienated herself from the other tour members (and the audience) with her superior attitude. I think that not even Bob Newhart (as the bumbling psychiatrist) is man enough for this over-the-top emancipated "woman". This major flaw overshadows an otherwise very pleasant film.
