Trivia / Funny Farm

• California Doubling: Averted. The entire film was shot on location in Vermont (albeit with the town of Townshend standing in for the fictional Redbud).
• Deleted Role: A young Sarah Michelle Gellar had a part as Elizabeth's student that was cut.
• What Could Have Been: George Roy Hill originally wanted Robin Williams, whom he'd previously directed in The World According to Garp, to play Andy Farmer. However, when Williams received the script, he felt the character was too low key for his comedy style and suggested Chevy Chase instead. Hill had enjoyed Chase's work in Fletch and agreed to cast him.
