A rather routine promotional short with a few glimpses of the good life in Italy's Rome, where, according to the narrator, the good life was invented.
Views of famous Italian landmarks include the Trevi Fountain, by then featured as a part of "Three Coins in the Fountain," which seems to have attracted quite a crowd on the afternoon these scenes were shot.
A picturesque visit to Cortina in the Italian Alps is next, then a river boat town called Portafino where the main dinner always includes seafood. The island of Sardinia features a rocky coastline along the water and the final scenes are filmed in Venice along the canals, where MGM is busy shooting a scene featuring David McCallum. Robert Vaughn is also spotlighted while McCallum acts as a gondolier.
Nothing special, but it does serve as a reminder of all the sightseeing one can do in Rome.
