A terrific movie with enough snide retorts and sarcasm to satisfy those of us who love that type of humor. Especially the scene where Myrna Loy describes the paint colors of her rooms.

The original home renovation movie, from which others and all the reality TV home shows come. Terrific performances from Grant and Loy, of course. Extremely familiar even now to people who've lived in New York!

I love this movie! I remember watching it with my mom and dad on our small black and white TV, with rabbit ears, of course. It's such a funny movie, very well acted. I thoroughly enjoy it!
