If you are one of the millions who loved Lucy, you'll love the Long, Long Trailer!

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were one of the great comedy teams, and The Long, Long Trailer was one of their most successful films.

Before their marriage Tacy Bolton and Nicky Collini decide (well, Tacy decides and Nicky goes along, reluctantly) to buy a trailer so that she can follow him and make a home for him while he travels to construction sites. Unfortunately, he has never pulled a long trailer and it proves almost too much for him, not to mention that it is a "budget buster."

This is a typical situation comedy of the type that Lucy and Desi did so well. A laugh a minute is guaranteed!

This is one of my favorite films of all time. If you have the chance to see it, make sure you do! Gotta love that 8,000 foot mountain! I love Lucy....and I always will!

This Movie is just great! It has so many laughs and funny adventures, it's like a lost episode from I Love Lucy, and i just dont see how its not even more of a classic than it already is! I highly recomend this movie to anyone who likes I Love Lucy, Slapstick Comedy, or just plain classic Comedy!

I have rented this movie about six times from my local video sore, and i can find it anywhere else, Im so glad i finally found it here!


Forgot how funny this movie is   December 18, 2003

I recently bought this, used, from a co-worker - the best $8.00 I've spent in a long time. I'd forgotten how laugh-out-loud funny it is but then I'd also forgotten that it was directed by Vincente Minelli, the master of domestic comedy. Has anyone else noticed the split second timing of certain scenes in Minelli movies when everyone is talking at once but the viewer doesn't miss a word?


Lucille Ball's Best Movie!!!   July 22, 2003
Get this movie!! I enjoyed this movie so much and I think everyone needs to get this spectacular Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz classic. This great couple made this movie in 1954 with director Vincente Minnelli; and then two years later in 1956, they made another Lucille Ball treasure *Forever Darling* (director Alaxander Hall).

Tracy (Lucille Ball) and Nicky (Desi Arnaz) are going to get married. Tracy thinks that they should get a trailer as a home instead of staying in 'stale hotels' and 'grubby-furnished rooms'. Nicky goes along with the idea....but he starts to doubt the idea after the trailer costs $5,343 and then they have to buy a new car to pull it. But they get married and then start out on their honeymoon. At first the trip is enjoyable and they have a wonderful time. But just one of Tracy's suggestions and they are in big trouble. Every turn they make seems to lead to trouble (similar circumstance to *Forever Darling*). And all of this trouble leads to a posible divorce!! (I assure you that everything turns out okay.)

The movie is so funny; you will be rolling on the floor as you watch Lucille try to make eggs on a crooked trailer and Desi pull this 50 foot thing around. You can't watch this movie once. Only Lucy could have made this movie a movie. So if you are a Lucy fan, you need to get this ultimate Lucy-movie. It will give you many hours of fun for the WHOLE family!! will
