Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House - 1948  — 

Cary Grant plays a slick city slicker advertising man who moves his family to the country.

Just about anything and everything goes wrong with the building ofhis brand new home in this laugh out loud, very very funny comedy.   (Highlight:  Myrna Loy  describing room colors)

Myrna Loy and Melvyn Douglas provide the perfect support for Grant who has rarely been this funny.

Forget Tom Hanks in  The Money Pit,  (the unofficial re-make) this is the one that delivers the laughs.

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House  1948   Directed by H.C. Potter
