This is one of those movies that I watch every time it's on TV, even though I own the DVD! There's just something about it, when it's on, I must watch.
Anyone who's ever built or even remodeled a house knows the endless mess and money involved. Amazingly, nothing's changed since 1948, and Mr. Blandings shows these trials and tribulations in an outright hilarious way.
Cary Grant is a brilliantly charming comic, both subtle and broad--watching Grant is pretty much enough reason to sit through any film, but he's truly wonderful here. Myrna Loy is deliciously dry. The situations are both wild and totally realistic. And the movie is very, very funny.
The scene with the painter is a classic--but so are many other moments.
Martha Stewart has just chosen this as one of her picks of TCM (Turner Classic Movies) which is wonderful and ironic, given how the movie shows the price of "perfection" (and ultimately, its rewards). |
