Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation
Jimmy Takes A Vacation... You Have All The Fun!
Directed by Henry Koster
Produced by 20th Century Fox
A lighthearted family comedy about a banker's vacation plans derailed by relatives and mishaps, grounded in warmth and the gentle chaos of togetherness.
Banker Roger Hobbs wants to spend his vacation alone with his wife, Peggy, but she insists on a family vacation at a California beach house that turns out to be ugly and broken down. Daughter Katey, embarrassed by her braces, refuses to go to the beach, as does TV-addicted son Danny. When the family is joined by Hobbs' two unhappily married daughters and their husbands, he must help everyone with their problems to get some peace.
