    • Trivia
      The trailer, a 1953 New Moon, used in the film is 32 feet in length and weighed more than 3 tons total.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where the trailer falls off the jack in the rainstorm, Lucille Ball (as Tacy) calls "Ricky" instead of his character's name "Nicky".
    • Quotes

      Nicholas Carlos Collini: It's a fine thing when you come home to your home and your home is gone!

    • Crazy credits
      The following acknowledgment appears in the end credits: "We are deeply grateful to the Department of the Interior, National Park Service, for permission to photograph scenes in Yosemite National Park".
    • Alternate versions
      Preview version ran 103 minutes, and included different orchestration to the song "Breezin' Along With the Breeze," as well as an additional scene with Marjorie Main. The original music orchestration has since been included on a music compilation CD, and the advertising trailer includes a tiny portion of the deleted Marjorie Main scene.

    Enjoy Immensely
    I first saw this movie when I was 12 in the movie theater, I never forgot it over the years. It remains one of my all time favorites to this day. The scenes where Lucy falls out the door into the mud and when she is trying to fix their dinner in the trailer while Ricky drives are hysterical. Another of my favorites is when they are going up the mountain and Lucy knows she didn't get rid of the rocks Desi told her too and the mountain is sooooooo steep! I was in a situation once where we were traveling up a very high mountain with a steep incline on my side of the car and all I could think of was this movie and that scene. I was tickled to death when I could finally get my own copy to watch whenever I needed a good laugh. Lucy & Desi are great together.
