A Global Affair

Bob Hope raises laughter and babies in this breezy light comedy co-starring Michèle Mercier, Yvonne De Carlo, Robert Sterling and Golden Globe® nominee Lilo Pulver. Having made a speech declaring that every child deserves a good life, United Nations official Frank Larrimore (Hope) is put in charge of a baby girl found abandoned at the UN headquarters. Agreeing to care for the tot until a suitable home is found, the bachelor is assigned to place her in the country he feels is most deserving. Pursued by a bevy of beauties who've been sent by their homelands to woo him, Frank attempts to put foreign affairs behind him while doing what's best for the baby. Directed by Jack Arnold (The Mouse That Roared) and co-written by Charles Lederer (His Girl Friday), A Global Affair also features appearances by Today anchor Hugh Downs, Olympic champion Rafer Johnson and United States Ambassador to the UN Adlai Stevenson in his first big screen role.
