"Ha ha! It's funny because it's true! Or at least I presume it is, I've never actually built a house. "

“Practical-minded, dapper Advertising man Cary Grant is married to Myrna Loy, golden Hollywood’s best on-screen wife character and living unfortunately in a constricted building apartment. They decide to build a dream house across the city and that’s where all the comedy begins. Melvyn Douglas, usually the suave leading man makes a wonderful third starrer as the couple’s too-logical family friend. The movie is sitcom funny and has the elements of a nostalgic movie. It’s a fun look at a golden era in America.” read more
