In movies, at least. This story has been copied countless times since this one surfaced in 1904. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House, The Money Pit, Moving - there are no end of films that have used the same simple foundations on which to build comedy films of varying quality. This, possibly the first of its kind, isn't too bad, although the 9 minute running time is padded out with some long shots that border on tedious at times. The first scene has the new family walking down the street to their house. we see them stroll the entire length of the street in a shot that seems to take forever. Then, later on, we see the latest in a succession of housemaids walking down the street to their house. She, too, seems to take forever. The comedy isn't particularly funny these days, although those removal men definitely strike a chord. An interesting one-time watch, but not one that will last in the memory.
