Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)

Cary Grant and Myrna Loy, fed up of their tiny New York apartment decide to up sticks and move out to the countryside and do quite literally what the film title states.

Grant and Loy are conned by every cowboy builder along the way as costs escalate with the dream home seemingly no nearer completion as obstacles of all kinds prevent it's build.

Cary Grant and Myrna Loy are beautifully suited to the roles with Loy proving that she wasn't reliant on William Powell as she creates a convincing double act with Grant. Whilst not always laugh out loud funny it is always amusing and i defy anyone not to chuckle when Loy recites her proposed colour schemes to the decorators.

A film i've seen several times on dvd and one i'll always return to.

Highly recommended.
