Question

Why was Mrs Al Smith not interested in going over the house

Answer 1

Mrs. Al Smith wasn't interested in the villa, she wanted the plot of land where the villa was constructed.

The place was near the French Hollywood Joinville and as she was an actress, she preferred to be near the French Hollywood, to get more opportunities to shoot films.

Hence, she wanted to dismantle the villa and build her bungalow at the same place.
