For a brief weekend, Paris is a playground for a random collection of tourists from Great Britain. They range from a young girl and an elderly artist (Margaret Rutherford) to a boozy Englishman (Jimmy Edwards) and a hardened diplomat. Their experiences --- both amorous and otherwise --- are revealed in a series of vignettes, which include the young girl's new romance with a Frenchman, the elderly artist's search for the Mona Lisa and the Englishman's prolonged stay at a local pub.

Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 11/14/2019
The script is crammed with almost every imaginable cliché about wicked, fascinating Paree, but the incomparable Alastair Sim is very funny as an English diplomat whose secret weapon is his vast capacity for vodka. Go to Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator 06/13/2018
Alastair Sim, face wildly contorted, strains for an elusive laugh and Claire Bloom looks rather unhappy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/22/2020 I loved comparing Paris in 1953 to present day Parisian films. There were so many more trees. There were so few people. Margarite Rutherford buys a Mona Lisa copy. Sims outdrinks a Russian snd Bloom outsmarts an old frenchman. Its fun in that it is light and isn't light what Parisian romance is. See more 08/15/2017 Episodic British comedy with a good cast. See more 05/09/2010 Oh dear. Alastair Sim was pretty good, but the rest of this film, about Brits in Paris wasn't. Every character is purely a cliched stereotype, the comedy is mostly just silly, the script atrocious. Interesting look at 1950s travel, Sim was funny getting the better of a Russian whilst binge-drinking, but otherwise not worth wasting ones time on. See more 02/04/2009 This is a hidden gem. A story that has been duplicated many times over, and is very fresh here. The old lady painting is so comical and Sim is his delighfully grumpy self and him getting a little drunk is a picture See more 08/27/2008 A good parody of a collection of different Brits abroad employing more than a few stereotypes. Has quite a few big names hidden amongst the cast list. See more Read all reviews
