George Washington Slept Here, George Washington Slept Here, DVD

Manhattanites Bill and Connie Fuller are trying to make a go of life in their dilapidated, recently purchased country home. The place has a lot of history. George Washington slept there. Or was it Benedict Arnold? Before Tom Hanks and Shelley Long fell into the Money Pit, even before Cary Grant and Myrna Loy unrolled a blueprint for hilarity in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, Jack Benny and Ann Sheridan turned a fixer-upper home into a comedy funhouse in George Washington Slept Here, based on the play by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. Percy Kilbride, the screen's future Pa Kettle, here reprises his stage role of the drawling, unflappable handyman Mr. Kimber.
