Before filming began, the cast was taken to Perc Westmore's salon on a Sunday morning to have their hair dyed red. When it was time to rinse the dye, the beauticians discovered that the water had been turned off for the entire block because the street was being repaired. Because dyes were so strong then, leaving them on could have caused the cast to lose their hair. Luckily, someone suggested diluting the dye with cold cream.
Playwrights Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, and Clarence Day's widow were on the set and given veto power on all aspects of this movie. According to author David Chierichetti, Mrs. Day approved Irene Dunne's characterization and even lent some jewelry that belonged to the real Vinnie.
Of the boys in the Day family, only Martin Milner was a natural redhead.
The play's original last line "I'm going to be baptized, dammit" had to be changed for this movie version due to censor issues.
The original play, "Life With Father", is the longest-running Broadway non-musical play ever. It played on Broadway for nearly eight years (3,224 performances), from 1939 to 1947, and held the record for 25 years until "Fiddler on the Roof" surpassed it. In the play, author Howard Lindsay played Father, Dorothy Stickney was Vinnie, and Teresa Wright was Mary. The movie version was released in 1947, the year the Broadway run ended. The original Broadway production is the sixteenth longest-running show, as of February 2013.
"Vinnie: Is that suit of your father's too tight for you? Clarence Day: No, it's not too tight. Vinnie: Well, what is it? Clarence Day: Mother, very peculiar things have happened since I started to wear this suit. I can't seem to make these clothes do anything Father wouldn't do. Vinnie: Oh, that's nonsense. And not to kneel in church is a sacrilege. Clarence Day: Making Father's trousers kneel seemed like more of a sacrilege."
"Rev. Dr. Lloyd: After considerable thought, we voted that our supporting members should each contribute a sum equal to the cost of their pew. Father: I paid $5,000 for that pew. Vinnie: Yes, Clare, that makes our contribution $5,000. Father: That's robbery. Do you know what that pew is worth today? $3,000. That's what the last one sold for. I've taken a dead loss on that pew of $2,000 already. Frank Bags sold me that pew when the market was at its peak. He knew when to get out. And I'm warning you, Vinnie. If the market ever goes up, I'm going to unload that pew!"
