While Barbara Bouchet only sees a combined screen time of 20 seconds in her first uncredited film appearance, this little underrated comedy contains a pretty impressive cast of actors including a few other beautiful international starlets. 

A Global Affair stars Bob Hope as Frank Larrimore, as statistician for the United Nations, he's been working on a proposal regarding equal rights due to all children in the world.  In response to a guest host appearance on his friend's late night radio program, where he discussed his proposal, he receives a rather startling response.  A baby girl is left in a basket at the UN building with a note from her mother, explaining how she could not sufficiently care for her child and after hearing Larrimore on the radio she thought the UN would be the best place for the child.  Having never dealt with a situation like this before the UN places the child the care of Larrimore for safe keeping, with the hope of keeping this out of the press while UN ambassadors have time to arrive at a decision regarding which country would take guardianship of the child.

 

A Global Affair is a cute little comedy with a moderately amusing performance by Bob Hope and a slew of beautiful foreign actresses. Michèle Mercier plays the role of Larrimore's love interest Lisette, a lovely German actress Elga Andersen played the delegate of France, and the barely recognizable Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster) played Dolores the delegate from Spain.  With a little bit of heart, the typical humor of the era, and a rather predictable ending A Global Affair gives you a little dose of everything.
