<P> The old house, dating from the Revolutionary War - era, turns out to be structurally unsound and has to be torn down before the previous owner's $6,000 mortgage is paid off . The Blandingses hire architect Henry Simms (Reginald Denny) to design and supervise the construction of the new home for $18,000 ($187,000 in 2017 dollars). From the original purchase to the new house's completion, a long litany of unforeseen troubles and setbacks, including digging a well, beset the hapless Blandingses and delay their moving - in date . On top of all this, at work Jim is assigned the task of coming up with a slogan for "WHAM" Brand Ham, an advertising account that has destroyed the careers of previous account executives assigned to it . Jim also suspects that Muriel is cheating on him with Bill Cole after Bill slept at the Blandingses' alone in the house with Muriel one night due to a violent thunderstorm . </P> <P> With mounting pressure, skyrocketing expenses, and his new assignment, Jim starts to wonder why he wanted to live in the country . The Blandingses' maid Gussie provides Blandings with the perfect WHAM slogan, and he saves his job . As the film ends, Bill Cole says that he realizes that some things "you do buy with your heart ." </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th> Role </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cary Grant </Td> <Td> James Blandings </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Myrna Loy </Td> <Td> Muriel Blandings </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Melvyn Douglas </Td> <Td> William "Bill" Cole </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Louise Beavers </Td> <Td> Gussie </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Reginald Denny </Td> <Td> Henry Simms </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jason Robards, Sr . </Td> <Td> John Retch </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lex Barker </Td> <Td> Carpenter Foreman </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Connie Marshall </Td> <Td> Betsy Blandings </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sharyn Moffett </Td> <Td> Joan Blandings </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ian Wolfe </Td> <Td> Real Estate Agent Smith </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nestor Paiva </Td> <Td> Joe Apollonio </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Harry Shannon </Td> <Td> W.D.
