TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The portrait hanging along the staircase of the beach cottage is of Captain Daniel Gregg, played by Rex Harrison, from The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947).

Shortly after the family arrives at the beach house, James Stewart starts to climb the stairway and the newel post top comes off in his hand. This appears to be a tribute to the same thing happening to him in It's a Wonderful Life (1946).

The statue of the woman's head on the Hobbs' bedroom mantelpiece can also be seen in Harvey (1950), also starring James Stewart and Minerva Urecal.

This film served as an inspiration for the 1983 Chevy Chase vehicle National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) (and its several sequels).

The GPS coordinates of the Hobbs' vacation house is 34° 2'39.74"N, 118°56'18.44"W. It sits in the California Leo Carrillo State Park. The location is open to the public. As of December 2020 the house is gone.

Popular Dialogues

"Peggy Hobbs: Didn't you get his last name? Roger Hobbs: No, I just called hey Joe, it's from my experience that there's usually one Joe in a group of fellows. Peggy Hobbs: That's a fine way to get a date for your daughter, paying him $5."

"Roger Hobbs: I've never sworn at a cook in my life. Peggy Hobbs: Well she said that you did when you came downstairs this morning. Roger Hobbs: This morning? When I came down... I never even spoke to her. I asked the kids how they'd like a little sun on the beach and they... an-an-an... [They look at each other, realizing the misunderstanding]"
