Potter home remodeling architecture living-in-the-city-vs-living-in-the-country comedy ("The nuttiest birds live in this house!"; "Cary's burnin', he's afraid his dream house den will have a built-in wolf"; "Myrna's yearnin' for a dream house with all modern conveniences including two men"; "Melvyn's turnin', He's a 'good friend' in wolf's clothing."; "Looks like the Blandings will have no heating problem."; about a family building their own home and the disasters that befall them) starring Cary Grant (in the title role as "Mr. Blandings"), Myrna Loy ("Mrs. Blandings"), Melvyn Douglas ("and good [?] friend"), Reginald Denny, Sharyn Moffett, Connie Marshall, Louise Beavers, Ian Wolfe, and Will Wright. Perhaps RKO was afraid that this movie would not find an audience (just being about a couple building their own house), so they made posters that presented it like it was a romantic love triangle, and even referred to Melvyn Douglas as "a good friend in wolf's clothing", when actually, there was no triangle at all! They needn't have worried, because the movie was very clever and proved to be very successful! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that material from this extremely popular movie is extremely rare! For unknown reasons, original release movie posters and lobby cards from "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" are almost never offered for sale, and are far more rare than any of the other late 1940s movies of the same time period! Most collectors are not that impressed with the poster campaign for the movie, and some of the best items on this movie are considered by many to be some of the wonderful scene lobby cards! We have offered single scene cards many times over the years, but we have never offered two or more at one time, and now we have SEVEN scene cards altogether! Condition: very good. The cards have tiny pinholes or staple holes in the corners or around the edges, with some faint smudges in the solid white areas. Otherwise, they are in pretty nice condition. See our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of these cards. Learn More about condition grades
