shakspryn Suzanne Pleshette stars and looks great here. Lots of good character actors, including Michael Constantine. One thing I notice, like other 1960's movies, this one doesn't mind basing gags on the concept of pretty young women and lecherous older guys who would like to chase them.Taking the movie as a whole, it's worth watching once: for Suzanne, the European scenery, the sometimes funny scenes, and a few affecting ones. Murray Hamilton stands out as especially good in this movie. I bought this on DVD; to me, it is more of a catch-it-on-cable type movie, in terms of value.

richard-1787 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.

Thomas GARNELL 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.

Lee Eisenberg Okay, we all know that when we go on vacation, some unexpected things are bound to happen (when I went to Russia, I didn't expect them to put the wrong dates on my visa, but they did). Well, nothing could be more whacked out than what the people in "If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" experience on their European vacation! I sort of figured that the movie would have some of what it had - like the girl always sneaking off to be with friends - but the scene where Fred Ferguson (Murray Hamilton) has trouble communicating with the Italian cobbler was a surprise, as was the embarrassment suffered by Harve Blakely (Norman Fell).One of the most interesting scenes has Donovan playing either himself or someone like himself, serenading the teenagers while their parents eat fondue. I also really liked the scene where Jack Harmon (Michael Constantine) is recounting his war story to his wife...well, I'll let you find out what happens. Also in the cast are Suzanne Pleshette, Ian McShane, Mildred Natwick, and some others. You'll love it.I have to admit, this is the only movie in which I've seen Michael Constantine, aside from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Although I did see him on an episode of "The Flying Nun".
