	Movies - Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation

Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation is a 1962 American comedy film directed by Henry Koster and starring James Stewart and Maureen O'Hara. The film is based on a novel by Edward Streeter and features popular singer Fabian.

Plot

Mr. Hobbs (James Stewart) is an overworked man who seeks a quiet seaside vacation with his wife (Maureen O'Hara) and kids. What he finds is a dilapidated beach house, noisy neighbors, and everything Hobbs does brings only more complications.

Reception

The film was relatively successful in America upon its release, but found even greater success when released overseas. James Stewart garnered the Berlin International Film Festival Award for Best Actor for his hilarious performance, and director Henry Koster was nominated for Best Director at the awards. Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation's success brought a series of light-hearted comedies starring James Stewart and took him away from the western movies he had become a staple of. The film is still aired on cable channels, and has developed a cult following that helped the film become released on DVD.
