"Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" 1948 is a delightful comedy based on Eric Hodgins's 1946 book of the same name. Cary Grant as James Blandings and Myrna Loy as Muriel Blandings team up following their worktogether in "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer“ 1947. Director H.C. Potter crafts this funny tale as the Blandings decide to leave their Manhattan apartment for the countryside of Connecticut. What follows is a series of miss steps as the Blandings forge ahead in the pursuit of their dream home.

Melvyn Douglas as Bill Cole is the ever-present third wheel in the Blandings family. Bill is the very close friend and lawyer who foresees endless problems with the property that Real Estate Agent Smith played by Ian Wolfe has successfully "unloaded" on the Blandings. Among the excellent cast in this muddled situation are Louise Beavers as Gussie who saves Mr. Blandings job in advertising and Reginald Denny as Architect Henry Simms. Watching the Blandings navigate this adventure is most entertaining.
