The film is not a cinematic gem, but a bit of enjoyable 60's fluff.
It rolls along at a pace and doesn't let up, much like the tour party visiting the European cities. Unfortunately there is not too much about the actual places, but that's not why we are watching this film.
The ensemble of actors all work well, although I'm not too sure about the cameo roles. For example, blink and you'll miss Senta Berger, Joan Collins, John Cassavetes, Ben Gazarra and so on, but then again, that's the fun perhaps.. As the for the main parts, I thought Suzanne Pleshette was the best, trying to resist the attention of the tour guide (Ian McShane), who has a "girl in every port" but others actors were worthy contributors too.
If you want a 60's film then this just about hits most bases, with clothes (Carnaby Street), Music (including Donovan for one tune), light heartedness, a few hippies (sharing a smoke), love interest (without nudity), old vehicles etc. Your choice. Me? I enjoyed the ride/tour, and was exactly what I was looking for.
