Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDebbie Reynolds was filming this simultaneously with How the West Was Won. Actor Barry Livingston's brother was working on that film. Barry remembers fondly that Debbie was playing his foster mom during the week, and his brother's grandmother on the weekends.
- GoofsIn many scenes of the movie, Leo Smith (played by Billy E. Hughes) is seen wearing a rather flashy gold ring on his left hand. He and his five siblings are supposedly unwanted and basically homeless, none of them has more than the clothes on their backs, so it seems he would not have been wearing a ring. Evidently Billy Hughes forgot to take off his personal jewelry, and nobody noticed in time. Watch for the ring (among other scenes) where Debbie Reynolds is talking to him about praying to God, or when he is opening some of the boxes of clothing that were bought for him and he is examining his new shoes. The ring is plainly visible.
- Quotes
Janice Courtney: I'm sorry, Jim, but scheming two-headed sex-pots make great parts for an actress, and no one is gonna talk me out of playing it. I've worked too hard and too long to wind up my career as chief cook and bottle washer in Connecticut.
Reverend Jim Larkin: Well, I guess that about covers it.

Featured review
Fantastic comedy about a New York star who finds the meaning of true happiness in rural Connecticut
I don't quite know why I loved this movie, but I did! It had some great one-liners and everyone was perfect in their respective roles. Eileen Heckart was hilarious as the personal assistant to Debbie Reynolds and Mary McCarty and Max Showalter were equally hilarious as the beer-guzzling, welfare collecting and neglectful "step parents" to the kids. When they showed up in their broken down trailer, burping from drinking too much, the Reverand asked them "Can we help you?" Heckart looked up at him and said "Are you serious?" Alice Ghostley was also fantastic as the goldbricking "housekeeper" who was taking care of Debbie Reynolds' Connecticut house while Raynolds lived and worked in New York.
