Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948)


A man and his wife decide they can afford to have a house in the country built to their specifications, and it's a lot more trouble than they think.

Classic light comedy with its stars playing at ease what they can do best; the humor is indeed very light.

Halliwell ***: "It hasn't the lightness and brightness of the book, but this is a fun film for the middle-aged who like to watch three agreeable stars doing their thing."

Maltin ***: "Slick comedy...; expertly handled, with Grant at his peak. And no one ever described room colors better than Loy!"
