Film Screening: “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House”
August 29
6:30-8:00p


At the District Architecture Center, 421 7th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004.

Join the AIA|DC Capital Area CRAN Committee for a summer film screening of the classic 1948 film “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.” Enjoy light refreshments with this comedy about the nightmares of home ownership as a man (Cary Grant) and his wife (Myrna Loy) decide they can afford to have a house in the country built to their specifications. The story unfolds with a long litany of unforeseen troubles and setbacks which beset the couple. This classic movie, based on a true story, went on to inspire more recent movies such as 1986’s “The Money Pit” and 2007’s “Are We Done Yet?”
 
The film screening will begin promptly at 6:30p with a 90-minute run time. Doors will open at 6:00p. Please arrive early to grab your snacks and pick your seat!
 
Please consider joining the Capital Area CRAN committee after the film for drinks at a nearby bar.
