An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25 1/4" x 41" [64 x 104 cm]) (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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 25 1/4" x 41" [64 x 104 cm]. Condition: good. A small amount has been unevenly trimmed from the left and right edges of the poster and there are some creases and tiny tears and small paper loss along the foldlines and edges. The poster was oddly folded at one time, resulting in a vertical crease at left and right. There is a tack hole in Loy's hair at top and there are several scattered around the edges of the poster. Fortunately, the poster's defects are confined to mostly background and border areas, and after linenbacking, the poster will surely display nicely with very little paint restoration needed!
