Trivia

Grandpa Gustafson's address is written on his shanty door when he is out ice fishing. It is visible only for a split second after he takes the paper bag of beer from his son. It is listed as: J.W. Gustafson 291 Chloe Ln. Wabasha, MN 55981 See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: The IRS at the time of the movie didn't audit a year if it was over ten years old. In the movie they said he collected for 20 years and eleven of those 20 were not claimed properly. That is past the ten year mark. He had not been collected for probably a number of years so, those years would not have been audited and they wouldn't be entitled to anything. See more »

Crazy Credits

Burgess Meredith, as Grandpa, is shown acting out different versions
of one scene (A245/84B or A246/84B). Presumably the nature of the
scene meant that the choice of which version to use had to be made
later. See more »
