…From this one scene description. The movie is from the late 60s/early 70s. A middle-aged American couple is on vacation in some French city. The husband is telling his wife about how his army unit triumphantly liberated the city from the Germans. Meanwhile, they pass a German couple of approximately the same age, walking in the opposite direction, with the German guy telling his wife (in German) the same bullshit story, only with the German army triumphant. ---

Don’t know the movie, but I suppose if they’re talking about different periods of the war, they could both be right. ---

I think it’s “If it’s Tuesday This Must be Belgium”. ---

> [@Scheidt-Hoch](#): > > I think it’s “If it’s Tuesday This Must be Belgium”. This is it. It must be thirty years since I saw it on TV and I remember only four things about the film: the title, the set-up (a bus tour of Europe), Ian McShane being in it and that exact scene. Though, IIRC they are both coming up opposite sides of a hill and meet at the top. ---

I thought it was “Buono Sera, Mrs. Campbell,” but here’s the scene from “If this is Tuesday” [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/SK1V-fYKrc4/hqdefault.jpg "If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium - Bastogne") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SK1V-fYKrc4) so I was wrong ---
