"If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium" is a 1969 romantic comedy film made by Wolper Pictures and released by United Artists. It was directed by Mel Stuart.

The title, also used by a 1965 [http://www.answers.com/topic/if-it-s-tuesday-this-must-be-belgium documentary on CBS television] that filmed one such tour, was taken from a magazine cartoon caption, humorously depicting the whirlwind nature of European tour schedules, which formed the premise of the film's plot.

The film was remade in 1987 as a made-for-TV movie titled "If It's Tuesday, It Still Must Be Belgium".

Cast

The film stars Ian McShane, Suzanne Pleshette, Marty Ingels,Mildred Natwick, Murray Hamilton, Michael Constantine, Sandy Baron, and Norman Fell. It also has cameo appearances by Patricia Routledge, Marina Berti, Senta Berger, John Cassavetes, Joan Collins, Vittorio De Sica, Anita Ekberg, Ben Gazzara, Virna Lisi, Elsa Martinelli, Catherine Spaak, Robert Vaughn and Luke Halpin. Folk singer Donovan makes a guest appearance in the film singing "Lord of the Reedy River," which he had also written.

Trivia
