cary grant and myrna loy be perfectly cast a a middle class couple who want to build the house of their dream . it all start out with reasonable plan and expectation and both of which be blow to bit by countless complication and an explosion of the original budget . there be many great laugh ( even if the story be somewhat thin ) sure to entertain fan of the star or the late 1940s hollywood comedy style . a definite highlight come when a contractor go through a run down of all expense and which must have sound quite excessive to a 1948 audience . a he make his exit and he assure the client ( grant ) that perhaps he could achieve a reduction of $ 100 . 00 from the total . or at least $ 50 . 00. but certainly $ 25 . 00. hilarious .
