There's a lot to be amused by In this ensemble comedy about a tour of Europe by a group of typical Americans, where the spouses are paired together by how they look together. Of course, glamour is provided for the leads, Suzanne Pleshette and Ian McShane. Norman Fell and Reva rose look like people you would see across the street or next door in your neighborhood, and the same goes for Murray Hamilton and Peggy Cass, bringing along a teenage daughter. Mildred Natwick is a finger wagging widow who begins to lighten up as she begins to have fun. The only real story is the romance that grows between Pleshette and McShane, mainly focusing on the slice of life situations that occur for each of the characters.
Fans of "Keeping Up Appearances" will be delighted to see Dame Patricia Rutledge as a British tour guide. This was the same year she won a Tony Award for the short-lived musical "Darling of the Day". Fell keeps repeating "Irma would have loved this" because his wife keeps disappearing, taking separate tours, and at one point, her boat passes his. It's a standing joke that becomes up more amusing each time. Too bad that Cass and Hamilton really have little to do although she does get laughs simply with the voice that audiences fell in love with in Auntie Mame
Not much here as far as a rich analogy is concerned because we seen stereotypical American tourist in Europe ever since the movies began, and of course while in various countries, they end up in tourist frequented restaurants where the specialty is hamburger. Stereotypical Europeans represent each country, and it's difficult not to laugh when they arrive in Switzerland greeted by yodeling. It's an amusing time killer, not much more, but anything with this ensemble, particularly Pleshette, is always a good thing. There are allegedly a ton of cameos here, but you have to be pretty sharp to point them out.
