Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMy One and Only (2009) is a comedy-drama film loosely based on a story about George Hamilton's early life on the road with his mother and brother, featuring anecdotes that Hamilton had told to producer Robert Kosberg and Merv Griffin. Kosberg pitched the idea of this true story to screenwriter Charlie Peters, then Griffin shepherded the project from screenplay to production, until his death in 2007. Griffin's company served as one of the film's producers and Kosberg executive produced.
- GoofsWhen the family arrives in Saint Louis for the first time, a U.S. flag can be seen flying. However, this flag has 50 stars and in 1953 there were only 48 states.
- Quotes
Bill Massey: As a man, there's only one thing you need to know about a woman.
George Devereaux: What's that?
Bill Massey: They're never the right temperature.
George Devereaux: No?
Bill Massey: Something to do with their plumbing. Reproduction. Whatever reason, most of the time... they're either too hot or too cold. Mostly too cold. So what you have to do... is carry a sweater or a jacket or something with you at all times. Something you can keep in the trunk of your car... or in your closet at work... for when their thermostat gets messed up.
George Devereaux: What else?
Bill Massey: That's it. Once you've got that covered... there's nothing else you need to know about a woman.
- Crazy creditsDuring the movie, we see Robbie doing cross stitch many times. At the end of the movie, we see Ann sitting in a chair, finishing the same cross stitch of their entire adventure, with "THE END." This goes right into the credits, which are done entirely in cross stitch.
