Blondie Takes a Vacation is a 1939 American black-and-white comedy film directed by Frank R. Strayer and starring Penny Singleton, Arthur Lake, and Larry Simms. The film is based on Chic Young's comic strip of the same name.

This was the third of 28 films based on the comic strip; Columbia Pictures produced them from 1938 to 1943.

Plot[edit]

The Bumsteads finally take a vacation at a mountain lake, but discover the failing hotel is about to be foreclosed on for lack of business, and its utilities cut off. Dagwood generously pitches in with schemes to help the elderly and bewildered proprietors attract more business.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Production for the film took place in May 1939 to June 1939.[1]
