Mr. Hobbs Takes A Vacation DVD – Maureen O`Hara , James Stewart

James Stewart and Maureen O’Hara star in this 1960s comedy adapted from Edward Streeter’s novel by screenwriter Nunnally Johnson. Roger Hobbs (Stewart) is a stressed banker in need of a holiday but a trip to the seaside with his wife Peggy (O’Hara) and their family proves to be far from relaxing. Their vacation gets off to a bad start when they realise their rented beach cottage is a poor excuse for a holiday home. Roger also has to contend with a lazy son, a self-conscious daughter and two difficult sons-in-law, not to mention prying neighbours.

When grumpy grandpa Roger Hobbs (James Stewart) suggests a quiet vacation to his lovely wife Peggy (Maureen O’Hara) he’s thinking of a romantic break for just the two of them. What he gets however is something quite different! Before he knows what’s happening Peggy has organised a full family reunion – in the oldest ugliest and most dangerous beach house ever! Now Roger’s life has become a living nightmare as he struggles to cope with delinquent toddlers TV-obsessed teenagers a pair of very odd sons-in-law and a young daughter falling for a local heartthrob (Fabian). Returning to work will seem like a dream after this vacation!
