Chevy Chase's facial expression are always purrfect. Those crazy, wild eyes filled childlike wonder to venture to Wally World and his fantasies to bed Christie Brinkley. I just love the scene where they're beside the road fixing to have sandwiches when Clark takes a bite of his wet sandwich to find out the dog peed on them. lol Thanks for the smiles this morning and for the visit yesterday, dear friend.

Surprisingly, I do like several of Chevy Chase's movies, just not this one. <br /><br />My brother and father went on an ill-fated vacation once upon a time. A camping trip. (I stayed home as I hate camping.) It went so badly that my brother started calling my father Chevy for a time afterwards, an homage to the movie. (My brother liked Vacation. Boys.)Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-8249931197629967782018-04-25T09:07:56.519-04:002018-04-25T09:07:56.519-04:00I had never seen the movie, but there was a 2-hour...I had never seen the movie, but there was a 2-hour special on not long ago about the making of the movie. It showed so many scenes from the movie, the stories by the artists who shared the scenes, and how the actors felt about each scene, it was like I had seen the entire movie.<br /><br />Not sure anyone knew, but the initial opening of the movie to a test audience fell flat because Wally World was never shown. The audience felt cheated, so the powers that be went back to the drawing board, hired a Sam Walton look alike and John Candy who let them into the park. Disney would NOT allow them access to their park, and I didn't catch who did.<br /><br />Michal Anthony Hall shared that he was affected the most because during the time between the first and second tapings, he had experienced a growth spurt and was now much taller than in the first part of the movie. He also shared he had to sit up front with John Candy because he was the only one small enough to fit next to Candy.<br /><br />When Beverly D'Angelo had her nude shower scene, the set was closed, but Hall snuck in to see her in the nude (teenagers!). She was unembarrassed and even walked across the room to the shower. She said after all, she had starred nude in Hair on Broadway, so this short bit didn't bother her at all.<br /><br />This was a great choice, Birgit.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4141871469594180795.post-52649942644232690092018-04-25T08:26:42.272-04:002018-04-25T08:26:42.272-04:00I've seen this one a long time ago and saw the...I've seen this one a long time ago and saw the Vegas one a few years ago just because it was about Vegas.

THIS IS CRAZY! THIS IS CRAZY...Clark: THIS IS CRAZY! THIS IS CRAZY! THIS IS CRAZY! <br /><br />Hi, Birgit!<br /><br />I know and love Nat'l Lampoon's Vacation, having watched it more than half a dozen times over the years. It is every bit as great as your review suggests. I recently read that Chevy Chase was difficult to work with on SNL. I wonder if he also butted heads with Vacation cast members. One of the first TV series I remember watching in early childhood was Your Show of Shows starring Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca. It was a hoot to see Imogene in the role of the scolding Aunt Edna in Vacay. The whole cast was excellent - Eugene Levy as the tacky car salesman, Christie Brinkley as the girl in the red Ferrari, Jane Krakowski as cousin Vicki, Anthony Michael Hall as Rusty - stars and budding stars galore.<br /><br />Remember the Connie Francis hit "V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N"? <br /><br />Happy V-Day to you, dear friend BB!
