DS, nineteen pages, 8.5 x 11, October 1, 1947. Agreement between Cary Grant and RKO Radio Pictures, by which the actor is employed to "portray the leading male role of 'Mr. Blandings' in a feature photoplay presently entitled 'Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.'" Signed at the conclusion in blue ink by Cary Grant, and countersigned by a vice president of RKO. In fine condition.
A 1948 comedy starring Cary Grant and Myrna Loy, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House humorously portrays the trials and tribulations of a New York couple attempting to build their dream home in the Connecticut countryside, only to encounter endless complications and escalating costs. The film, based on the 1946 novel by Eric Hodgins, remains a classic for its witty take on the challenges of homeownership and the American Dream. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote that 'as straight entertainment, this ambling and genial report on a young advertising man's disasters (and final triumph) in becoming a country squire is as much casual fun as can be looked for on our sparsely provided screen.'
