Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCo-stars Yvonne De Carlo and Miiko Taka do not make their initial appearances until the final twenty minutes of the film, and both scenes amount to little more than cameos.
- GoofsTwo of the character roles listed in the closing credits do not match their roles played in the film. Elga Andersen 'of Germany' plays the role of a representative from France, and Lilo Pulver 'of Switzerland' plays the Russian representative (appearing at about 45 mins) who collects data for an examination of the baby's national origin. Andersen's accent is closer to German than French, while Pulver's Russian accent is minimally passable.

Featured review
Half-baked Talkfest For Half-Pints
As the countries of the earth gathered at the New York World's Fair in 1964, Bob Hope and Producer Ed Small (who would produce a series of films in the 60's that became increasingly cataclysmic disasters with each subsequent release) felt this topical comedy on the United Nations and an abandoned child "adopted" by Hope would be a natural for laughs. Nope. Hope's effortless sauntering around a set in lieu of acting became standard by this time, and here his search for a mate among the international nubile hostesses at the U.N. is particularly dated and borderline offensive. As was undoubtedly said at the time- Hope sets the sites on his laugh targets low... and misses. Even a mild diversion as "Bachelor In Paradise" just three years hence would prove a high-water mark of the latter half of Hope's film career. They may have "hoped" to succeed "Globally" but stank locally.
