The Next Installment of Mr. Blanding's Builds His Dream House

I've posted 2 prior clips from this movie on this blog just for you to enjoy. I hope by now you've seen these video clips of this priceless gem. It is timeless and best yet it has to do with our business - real estate and the American dream! I first discovered this movie many years ago and have enjoyed watching it probably more than a dozen times since. Once again, it is called "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" starring Myrna Loy and Cary Grant.

It is a comedy released in 1948 and directed by H.C. Potter. For you film buffs, it was written and produced by the team of Melvin Frank and Norman Panama and was an adaptation of Eric Hodgins' popular 1946 novel. Upon its release, it was a box office hit, and has remained a popular film via cable television and the home video market. Warner Home Video released the film to DVD with restored and remastered audio and video in 2004. Featuring a plot that can be easily identified with, the film has spawned a number of remakes, including the 1986 movie -The Money Pit starring Tom Hanks, 1993's The Dream House, and 2007's Are We Done Yet?.

Please consider renting or buying the movie. You will thoroughly enjoy it, guaranteed!
