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

Summary: First Timer 2008-10-26
Comment: Good Old Fashion humor. A couple of Film classic scenes ( the Building Consultant telling Gary Grant "tear it down" or the painting Foreman listening to Myrna Loy explain in great detail the shades of colors that she wants the rooms painted and the Foreman telling the painters "Red, Blue, Green and Yellow"

Summary: classic, family fun 2008-09-10
Comment: Love the old black and whites and I always enjoy this one. I love having films like this on hand for movie night with my neices. Introduces them to another time and place and no worry about inappropriate language, sex and violence, good clean humor. So funny to think Cary Grant's character felt sorry for the poor guy not fortunate enough to earn $15,000 a year, and Myrna Loy's scene with the painter just cracks me up for some reason. Enjoy!

Summary: must see for anyone thinking about building a house, or adding on to one you have now 2008-08-04
Comment: "..people are buying a house they can't afford with money they don't have.." is from this movie, Johnny Carson had a similar line in an opening monologue one night in 1988 that finished this thought: "people are buying houses they can't afford, with money that's not theirs, to impress people they wished were dead", this is a must see movie for anyone thinking about buying a fixer-upper, or building a new house, things haven't changed much over the years!
