Trivia and Quotes

Quotes
  • Tom: [after yelling at his son] Now where were we? Cinzia Zaccardi: [She turns on the spray paint and sprays him in the face on purpose] Oops. Tom: Thank you, Michelagelo.
  • Justice of the Peace: That`s you Sir. Tom: Who Sir? Me Sir? Justice of the Peace: Yes Sir, you Sir.
    Trivia
  • Cary Grant initially accepted his role in Houseboat (1958) because he was dating Sophia Loren, whom he was madly in love with. After she married someone else, Grant, heartbroken, wanted to back out. He couldn`t, but the director made sure the production was a smooth one.
  • Original screenplay was written by Betsy Drake, Cary Grant`s wife. Grant originally wanted it to star her but his extra-marital affair with Sophia Loren complicated the project. Drake`s script was drastically re-written by two other writers to accommodate Loren and bears little resemblance to Drake`s concept.
