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.
- Quotes
Frank Larrimore: I once had a tough sergeant like you - he was shot from behind on the first day of combat!
- Crazy creditsDuring closing credits, they display the country of birth for the various actresses - for example : Michèle Mercier of France, Elga Andersen of Germany.

Featured review
Wise-cracking bachelor Bob Hope (as Frank Larrimore) reluctantly takes guardianship of a baby abandoned at the United Nations (UN) building in New York City. Beautiful Michele Mercier (as Lisette), from Belgium, can't take the baby because she works. Apartment manager John McGiver (as Mister Snifter) doesn't allow babies, but he loves dogs, so Mr. Hope decides to pretend the baby is a dog. Playboy pal Robert Sterling (as Randy Sterling) tells Hope the baby can be used as an opportunity to bait pretty young sex partners. They are encouraged to wear low-cut dresses because the baby drools...
Since the baby's parents can't be found, UN authorities have a contest to find a country that'll adopt the little girl...
In order to secure custody for their respective countries, a series of sexy young women are eager to jump into bed with older man Hope. The interludes depicting Hope's presumably promiscuous character as an ambassador of good will are strange, but fatherhood grows on him. Assisting the famous comedian are a cute baby, beautiful young women, an excellent supporting cast and good cameos. Helping to make "A Global Affair" fun are newscaster Hugh Downs, nurse Reta Shaw, walker Adlai Stevenson, sexy Yvonne De Carlo, head-turned taxi driver Billy Halop and policeman Mickey Shaughnessy.
***** A Global Affair (1/30/64) Jack Arnold ~ Bob Hope, Michele Mercier, Robert Sterling, Liselotte Pulver
