Mr. Blandings Builds his Own House" is a wonderfully funny comedy. Cary Grant is hilarious in the role of a man who wants the American Dream of owning his own home..

Wings In The Dark(1935), is a drama which will remind you a little of, Amelia Earhart and an aeronautical inventor who fall in love. Grant's character does not really care for Loy's character as a circus stunt flier. Loy, tells him that the kind of flying she does, is all that is available to her and she is proving to the world, that women can also fly planes. During an accident Cary goes blind and he gives his plane the ultimate test. The film Wings In The Dark, is a wonderful glimpse of both stars in their earlier years.
