I saw It It's Tuesday theatcially in 1969 at a screening, and didn't make much of it back then.

A tour group of ugly American's in Europe, with many familiar faces in the cast.

While the film doesn't play any better now than it did them, it does look good.

As presented by Olive, this MGM produced master is solid for color and density. And it's as clean as need be.

For me, the single redeeming feature is the presence of Suzanne Pleshette, with that wonderful voice, second only to Joan Greenwood.

For those who appreciate the film, which plays more like an extended TV show, it's a quality disc.

Ah! Another admirer of Suzanne Pleshette! I've always liked her, ever since seeing her when I was still young, in films like The Birds, Rome Adventure and A Rage To Live. I've never seen this particular film - always wanted to - so I might buy this disc, as the quality is so good.

Saw it as a kid and seeing the close-up, on a mammoth screen, of an arm receiving an overseas shot has forever had me anxious, whenever I go to the doctors office.

That's why fingers were created. To be strategically placed in front of eyes.

I'll be getting this if only because Peggy Cass is in it. I met and talked at length with her when she was performing at the Showboat Dinner Theater in St. Petersburg, FL. Nice lady. I saw her frequently as a MATCH GAME contestant.

If memory serves me correctly, the needle indented and popped into her fatty freckled shoulder.
Thank you Peggy Cass for giving me a lifetime of issues and phobias over needles.:wacko:

To Tell the Truth ... I think she was on TTTT more ;)!

Let's not forget her turn as Agnes Gooch in Auntie Mame - who got "in a family way" by drinking Dr Pepper ;)

I saw this when I was 12 years old, and that scene is the one thing that I remember about this movie! I have always hated needles my entire life (from well before seeing the movie).

If my memory serves me correctly doesn't Donovan sing a song in one scene? Have only seen this film once many years ago.

Yes, written and performed, " Lord of the Reedy River." He also wrote the title song but it was preformed by J. P. Rags, whoever the heck that is. [emoji846][emoji846][emoji846]

Having gone on a Caravan Tour of Europe with my family in 1967 visiting 13 countries in 21 days, this resonates for me and will join my library, thanks for the review.
