Editorial Review:
Product Description:
A New York advertising man who longs to live in the Connecticut countryside, but finds the way to rural satisfaction.
Amazon.com essential video:
Cary Grant stars as an advertising executive who dreams of getting out of the city and building a perfect home in the country, only to find the transition fraught with problems. (See the 1980s Tom Hanks comedy The Money Pit for an updated version of the same idea.) The big appeal here are the two leads, Grant and Myrna Loy, who were each in their early 40s and at the peak of their careers. Together with solid support from Melvyn Douglas and a screenplay that might have been tailor-made for their polished brand of comedy, the stars dominate this simple project. --Tom Keogh

This is an old black and white classic that starts slow but ends up successfully portraying several varieties of humorous characters and behaviors all typically found present in home renovation. If you have gone through home renovation or are contemplating one, view this movie to enjoy some humor in the process and see who you recognize in yourself and others involved. One other aspect after viewing this movie is the amazing demonstration that there is nothing new under the sun. The portrayed story here, although set in the past, is played out the same today.

Great service, and a great product. Of course anything with Cary is great in my book.

You will love 'Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House' why? because 70 years later, almost NOTHING HAS CHANGED in the home building process.
If you ever thought about custom building a house this movie is a MUST SEE. The things that happen to Mr. Blandings are fairly typical. In fact today there is a whole new level of difficulty caused by some (over controlling) Home Owners Associations. This movie is terrific fun. You will see design mistakes, purchasing mistakes, and cost over-runs all done in a fun way.
The decision between purchasing an existing home and custom building a new one can sometimes be difficult one. As you will see in this movie, it takes longer, is a lot more work, and cost a lot more.
So why does Mr. Blandings do it? The same reason I have done it three times, it's the only way to get exactly what you want. (It's harder to find a modern home in a country where younger families are more architecturally traditional.)
I think it you will find 'Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House' very entertaining (and possibly educational too).
Rating: -
This is a movie that the whole family can watch with no bad language very wholesome. I love this movie. Very good entertainment. If you like Gary Grant movies. You should get this one.

Timeless movie. Have been there and done that and can totally relate. Who doesn't love Cary Grant! Just wish I could get the house they built for that price today $22,000 mortage for a house and 35 acres more or less.
