Finally on TCM. I don't have TCM anymore so I had to purchase it, but it's the only time I've ever seen it available.

Too late. I did it this morning. I've been trying to find it for years, and it was always just available to rent. I was so happy to finally find it after all this time, I lunged!

I'm glad to hear that you found it, it's a great film, worthy of many repeat viewings!!
Spiderwort should be back shortly, and hopefully everyone else that hasn't posted in a while. In the meantime, let's continue to discuss classic films!

Mike, as I said to to Lilith, I'm traveling and haven't had time to show up here. Just wanted to poke my head in today to see what's been going on. Another month or so things should be back to normal.
In the meantime, please, all of you, continue to discuss classic films!

Glad you found it, Lilith. I've seen it a bunch of times, thanks to TCM airing it several times a year for the past many years. It seems to be one of the staples of their lineup. Good film, but I don't think I'll be watching it again anytime soon.

I've been traveling, Lilith, and still am, but thought I'd poke my head in for a moment. Should be back in a month or so. Glad to see activity here.
And so glad you found Mr. Blandings! I'm about ready for another viewing of that wonderful classic. -

Happy travels, Spiderwort. Stay safe and have fun.
I was so excited to find Mr. Blandings since I've been looking for this movie for so many years but it was only available to rent.
I think it's also pretty nifty that it can take something this simple to make me very happy!
Looking forward to your return!

Thanks, Lilith. And hope to be back soon. Have a pretty full plate right now with this, that, and the other. Btw, hope you've seen the new version of LITTLE WOMEN. I think it's a beauty (though the 1994 version is still my favorite). And for my money Greta Gerwig is a directorial force to contend with, female or male. She should have gotten both Oscar and DGA noms for it. I don't even want to vote this year.
Thanks again for your good wishes. Take care. -

Spider! We've missed you around here. How nice to see you checking in. Looking forward to when you're able to return.
Good luck with your this, that, and everything else on your full table.

I have this one in my collection! I absolutely LOVE Cary Grant and Myrna Loy in this movie!

I always thought their chemistry was great. I also thought, who else but Cary Grant can you watch for 3 minutes in the bathroom doing nothing but brush his teeth and not be bored and enjoy the whole thing?
I loved it when Myrna was picking out paint colours.
This is one of my favourite movies. I've been searching for it for ages so I had to get it.

That scene is priceless!
Do you remember that Sherwin Williams commercial from the 80s?
I believe I saw that before the movie.

I don't think I recall that commercial. I just tried to do a search for it, can't find it. I'd love to see it and see the correlations. That scene was too cute for words.

I can't locate it on YouTube either. It was basically that scene, and then a short Sherwin Williams plug at the end.
It really was a cute scene.

The entire movie is priceless, Miss Margo. Like great wine, it's aged beautifully. The movie sparkles; and it's blessedly free from politics, (but for the line about the Republicans not having been elected yet), which is about as far as it goes. I doubt any home purchase has been so light and lively as the one in this movie, and yet it feels just right for the entirety of its running time; and the final scene, about the product Grant has fashioned a brilliantly prosaic sales pitch, sells the film. I haven't seen
Mr. Blandings
in a dog's age, and I'd watch it in a heartbeat.
