Review of Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948) by Samantha M — 19 Dec 2007

There's a lot of good comedy drawn out of the pairing of Grant and Loy, but there's too much empty space that finds Grant trying to do too much to save the comedy of a given moment. The film lacks comedic invention, as there is only so much mediocre material two leads can make work before they require a little bit of help.

Here, that help was nowhere to be found.
