Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

Experience the greatest films from Hollywood’s Golden Age back on the big screen, every week at The Loft Cinema!

In this classic screwball comedy about home ownership gone wildly wrong, the great Cary Grant is Jim Blandings, a big city advertising executive who learns about rural life, real estate and construction headaches the hardest way possible when he buys a farm in Connecticut and moves with his tolerant if not completely understanding wife, Muriel (Myrna Loy), to a decaying shack that’s closer to a nightmare than the house of their dreams. Based on the bestselling 1946 novel by Eric Hodgins, and remade in 1986 as The Money Pit starring Tom Hanks and Shelly Long, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a hilariously charming ode to living your dreams, and then living to regret it!  (Dir. by H. C. Potter, 1948, USA, 94 mins., Not Rated)
