Trama e commenti: mymovies.it - film.spettacolo.virgilio.it - kataweb.it: «Sullo sfondo di un'assemblea delle Nazioni Unite, si ripete la storia di Giulietta e Romeo. Lei figlia di un ambasciatore USA s'innamora, ricambiata, del figlio di un ambasciatore URSS. L'amore trionferą. P. Ustinov, regista, sceneggiatore e protagonista di questa leggiadra commedia, fa sfoggio di una satira intelligente e ben dosata, anche se qua e lą incerta e un po' ingenua».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - notrecinema.com - tvguide.com: «Peter Ustinov wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this adaptation of his play, and, for once, here was a person who could wear all the hats without becoming a fool. The play opened in London in 1956, then went to New York with Ustinov in the lead. ... It's a total farce, the scene for slapstick being set early in the opening sequence when Ustinov does all the voices of the delegates at the UN, voting "Yes" and "No" in the many dialects he commands in his throat. By playing cupid for the young couple, Ustinov hopes to set an example for Russia and the US to settle their differences in peace and harmony. The interiors were made at Cinecitta Studios in Rome, and the little town of Todi doubled as Concordia. Todi is about 800 years old, sits 100 miles north of Rome, and was once an Etruscan city. What happened to this tiny town when a large movie company descended on it to knock the economy into the stratosphere might make a movie on its own. Cloutier is Ustinov's wife, although this is the only movie of his in which she has appeared...».
