Continuity mistake: In their first night at the new house the Beardsley's lose power completely. When the doctor arrives (Tom Bosley) he rings the electric doorbell.
Yours, Mine and Ours (1968)
Directed by: Melville Shavelson
Starring: Henry Fonda, Tim Matheson, Lucille Ball, Van Johnson, Tom Bosley, Louise Troy
Suggested correction: We have had the power go out at our house before and the doorbell still worked.
Factual error: When Mike is leaving to join the Marines he is in full uniform. Uniforms are not issued to new recruits until after they are processed in. They arrive at Camp Pendleton in civvies.
Plot hole: In the scene after Frank talks to Helen in the dispensary about Louise, Frank decides to look Helen up in the phone book and ask her to dinner. Considering Helen had only recently moved to San Francisco, it's amazing how quickly she became listed.
Trivia: Tim Matheson (Mike) and Jennifer Leak (Colleen) later married after meeting on the set of the movie.
Frank Beardsley: I don't quite understand. Am I being stupid?
Helen North: No, you're being a man. Which is sometimes the same thing.
Helen North: That was a wonderful dinner, I enjoyed all eight courses.
Frank Beardsley: So did I.
Helen North: And speaking of children.
Frank Beardsley: We weren't speaking of children.
Helen North: We weren't? Oh thank goodness.
Frank Beardsley: Is that all? Why didn't she tell me?
Helen North: Because you would have said, "Is that all?"
