bill and connie filler ( jack benny and ann sheridan ) have to movie out of their nyc apartment . connie want to move to the country bill doesn not . connie buy a dilapidated house in the country and convinces bill to move in and fix it up . naturally everything go wrong . very similar to the late mr. blandings build his dream house with one exception this be funny . i find blandings more depressing than funny but i find this very funny and quick moving . benny toss out one liner with ease left and right and most of them be hysterical . there be a few bad line but benny dead pan expression while say them actually make them amuse . sheridan be beautiful a his wife . she seem uncomfortable do comedy ( she mostly the straight person for benny joke ) but she not bad . also this be historically important a one of the first movie to deal with people move from the city to the suburb . however it do have it bad point hattie mcdaniel play a stereotypical cook and a very annoying little kid be throw in towards the end and the anti war speech be a bit much . still and this be fast and funny and worth seeing just for benny alone . i give it an 8 .
