Trivia
As the Kettles are shown the features of their new home, the newsreel footage on TV is that of the first flight of the Hughes H-4 Hercules AKA "Spruce Goose". The H-4's first and only flight was on 2 November 1947, just 17 months prior to the release of this movie.

Goofs
When Ma puts the kids to bed, the covers are rumpled. When she attempts to turn off the lights, she hits the switch to put away the beds. When the beds come back down, 3 of the 4 beds are neatly made, and it can be seen that there are dolls instead of kids. In the next shot, they are as they were before they went into the wall.
