TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The brown Fedora worn by Henry Fonda belonged to Spencer Tracy and was given to Fonda by Katharine Hepburn on the first day on the set. Fonda, overwhelmed with the gesture, painted a still life watercolor of the three hats he wore in the film and gave the original to Hepburn as a gift. He had 200 lithographs made of the painting and sent one to every person who worked on the film. Each copy was numbered and personally signed by Fonda thanking each person by name. In her autobiography, Hepburn wrote that she gave the painting to screenwriter Ernest Thompson. After Fonda's death, she found the painting to be a sad reminder of him and Tracy.

Apparently, stars Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn had not only never worked together, but had never even met prior to working on this picture, despite having mutual friends and acquaintances.

James Stewart had wanted to star in the movie, but Jane Fonda bought the rights to the play before he could.

Jane Fonda recounted that the scene between Chelsea and Norman (Henry Fonda) where she tells him she wants to be his friend mirrored the real-life relationship between father and daughter. During one take when the younger Fonda unexpectedly grabbed her father's hand, Henry Fonda started to cry and ducked his head away from the camera, embarrassed by his tears. The take appears in the final film.

Leftover footage of Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn driving around the New Hampshire countryside, as seen in the opening credits, was used for the opening of the 1982-90 CBS sitcom Newhart (1982).
