Wissenswertes
The dog in the movie, Rommy, was trained in the Weatherwax kennels, most famously known for making an undisciplined collie named "Pal" into a star named Lassie the Dog. The Weatherwax family readily admitted that of all the dogs they trained, Rommy was their favorite, and was the smartest of their dogs.

Patzer
At the end when Bill and Connie drop into a hole in the ground, if the film is paused about two seconds before they fall and then run in Super Slo-Mo, the faces of the stand-in actors who took the fall can be seen.

Per IMDb guidelines, this is an "Unacceptable Goof" as it is a "Blink and you'll miss it: If it's "easily missed" or you have to "view the scene frame-by-frame" then it's not a goof."

Zitate
Bill Fuller: [reading the letter from the old boot] "Gentlemen, We are facing a time of peril so grave in our brief National history, that there is now only the choice of serving the country a little longer, or having tomorrow no country to serve. Under the favor of Almighty God, we have become a Nation. Let me say to you that I hate war. But if we remain one Nation, one People, that time is not far distant when we may choose war or peace as our national interest guided by justice. In the words of Thom Paine, 'These are the times that try men's souls.' Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. 'Tis dearness alone that gives every thing its value and it would be strange, in deed, if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated. George Washington. November 10, 1777."
Connie Fuller: Bill, this means Washington really slept here.

One of my favorite classic comedies

George Washington Slept Here is a tour-de-force for the great Jack Benny. He is given the opportunity to fully display his comedic acting skills here, as the movie is written and directed with class and style. He's ably assisted in the hilarity by the equally great Ann Sheridan, and supporting cast members Percy Kilbride and Charles Coburn add even more comic class to the movie.

This is the kind of movie you can watch with your kids where you find that the entire family enjoys it equally. While some cynics may not enjoy this movie as much as I do (it is clearly a product of it's time), if you find that you enjoy classic comedies then you should give this one a chance.

Hopefully it will be released on DVD soon. (As of this writing, 2/05/05, it is not yet on DVD.)
