An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card #4 (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, the classic 1948 H.C. 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! Condition: very good to fine. There is a 1/4" tear in the upper right blank border, and a smudge in the middle of the left blank border, and some very faint smudges in the 3" of the blank border beneath that. There is a super faint scuff mark in the right of Grant's upper lip. There is an incredibly tiny tear near the center of the bottom border. Other than the above truly minor defects, the card is in wonderful condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card! Learn More about condition grades
