Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation (1962)
Director: Henry Koster
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A wholesome family comedy with Stewart and O'Hara as a couple whose quiet vacation becomes a noisy free-for-all for the kids. Fabian, one of the first rock singers to be created overnight by publicity hype (with hit songs like 'Tiger' and 'Turn Me Loose'), apart from singing one song, gives a performance so wooden it has to be seen to be believed.Author: DP
