If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium is a 1969 romantic comedy film made by Wolper Pictures and released by United Artists. It was directed by Mel Stuart and produced by Stan Margulies with David L. Wolper as executive producer. The screenplay was by David Shaw, the music score by Walter Scharf and the cinematography by Vilis Lapenieks.
The film stars Ian McShane, Suzanne Pleshette, Mildred Natwick, Murray Hamilton, Michael Constantine, Sandy Baron, and Norman Fell. It also has cameo appearances by Patricia Routledge, Marina Berti, Senta Berger, John Cassavetes, Joan Collins, Vittorio De Sica, Anita Ekberg, Ben Gazzara, Virna Lisi, Elsa Martinelli, Catherine Spaak, Robert Vaughn and Luke Halpin. Folk singer Donovan makes a guest appearance in the film singing Lord of the Reedy River, which he had also written. He also wrote the title song for the film, but he didn't sing it as it was performed by J.P. Rags. The then current Miss Belgium, Sonya Doumen, also appears.
The title was taken from a magazine cartoon caption*, humorously depicting the whirlwind nature of European tour schedules, which formed the premise of the film's plot.
Director Mel Stuart is best-known for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971).
The title song is the inspiration for the all-time hit Hindi song "Chura liya" from the Bollywood film Yaadon Ki Baraat (1973).
