Audio problem: At the end of the happy birthday song to Norman, someone not in the room sings "and many more." It sounds like the mailman.

1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Mark Rydell
Starring: Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Doug McKeon
Continuity mistake: When the boy is dropped off at the cabin, Ethel's sweater is zipped down. It goes to a close-up of her and the zipper is up. In the next shot, the zipper is down again.
Bill Ray: Well, how does it feel to turn eighty?
Norman: Twice as bad as it did turning forty.
Trivia: Henry Fonda won the Best Actor Academy Award for his role of Norman Thayer. At the age of 76, Fonda became the oldest winner in the Best Actor category in Academy history (his record was broken in 2021 by Anthony Hopkins, who won at 83).
