- The title comes from a Leonard Dove cartoon in The New Yorker of 22 June 1957, in which a young woman beside a tour bus protests that if it is Tuesday it has to be Siena. A 1965 CBS documentary had already borrowed the line.
- The film's poster was staged on the Grote Markt in Antwerp, the cast posing in front of the city hall with their tour bus blocking the view of the Brabo fountain, even though private vehicles are banned from parking on the square.
