Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948 H.C. Potter)

It's been a while since we saw this old forerunner of The Money Pit and it made us sorely glad we didn't buy that similarly unhappy property in Binfield... Cary Grant and Myrna Loy are the stupid purchasers, Melvyn Douglas their friend. It isn't actually that funny (screenplay by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama, from Eric Hodgins' novel).

James Wong Howe shot it.
