The Stage, 11 July 1968, announced that ‘Stan Murgulies will produce “If It’s Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium” for United Artists, with Ian McShane, Sammy Davis Jnr., and George Segal. After two weeks’ filming in London, the unit will film on the Continent until October 10.’ McShane is the only actor, of the trio named, who appears in the completed film.
Capture 1
Presented, rather vaguely, as the view from Ian McShane's flat, but where is it taken from? Is this image flopped?
Capture 2
McShane, a tour guide, addressing his group of American tourists, as they head north in Regent Street with Conduit Street off to the left.
Capture 3
Facing south in Regent Street as the coach enters the junction at New Burlington Street.

Unidentified. A view from the coach as one of the tourists adds 'It all looks so foreign.'

Capture 12
The Mall with Buckingham Palace in the distance.
Capture 13
I would like to thank Bo Rosny for pointing out that this sequence later appeared in an episode of a series named 'Get Smart'. That sequence is longer showing the coach in Grosvenor Square passing the corner of Carlos Place and as the coach moves to the left the American Embassy comes into view.

Another shot which is flopped in the film as the coach exits Piccadilly Circus when approaching Coventry Street.
