Lux Radio Theater presents the comedy romance Mr Blandings Builds His Dream Home with Cary Grant playing the part of Jim Blandings, the same role he payed in the 1948 RKO motion picture of the same name and Irene Dunne as Muriel Blandings.

Like millions of other New Yorkers Jim and Muriel Blandings and their two young daughters live in an apartment. It is adequate but somewhat crowded. Not that Jim isn’t doing well he is a college graduate and makes $15000 a year in the Advertising business. Then they find their dream home in the country at a price that they can afford and they buy it with their heart and not their head against the better judgement of Jim’s friend and lawyer Bill Cole and without advice from a structural engineer.
