Modern viewers know this little film primarily as the model for the remake, "The Money Pit." Older viewers today watch it with wisps of nostalgia: NAME_1, NAME_2, and NAME_3 were all "superstars" in an easier, less complicated era. Or was it? Time, of course, has a way of modifying perspectives, and with so many films today verily ulcerating with social and political commentary, there is a natural curiosity to wonder about controversy in older, seemingly less provocative films. In "Mr. NAME_4 Builds His Dream House," there may, therefore, be more than what audiences were looking for in 1948. There is political commentary, however subtle. Finding a house in the late 40s was a truly exasperating experience, only lightly softened by the coming of Levittowns and the like. Politics in the movie? The NAME_4 children always seem to be talking about progressive ideas being taught to them in school (which in real life would get teachers accused of communism). In real life, too, NAME_2 was a housing activist, a Democrat, and a feminist. NAME_5
