Connoisseurs of camp may enjoy watching Tomlinson ranting at the Volkswagen, but The Love Bug is surely the first film in which the actors (Jones, Michele Lee, Buddy Hackett) are so meticulously insipid that a car can handily steal the show...

France's nationalized coal companies provide their engineers with rent-free homes. Swedish business men hunt elk in company-owned forests.
