Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House

Deciding to move to the suburbs of Connecticut, the family’s idyllic dreams turn into renovation nightmares after they pour their money into a 200-year-old "fix-'er-upper," and meet with one construction calamity after another. Gag-filled rib-tickler from Eric Hodgins’ novel co-stars Melvyn Douglas, Reginald Denny, Louise Beavers. 94 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English, Spanish, French; theatrical trailers; radio broadcasts; bonus short "The House of Tomorrow" (1949).
