| VHS Tape Description Success in that newfangled television business prompted Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz to bring their slapstick chemistry to the big screen, courtesy of a 28-foot monster of a trailer home. The Long, Long Trailer is one of those domestic nightmare movies, in which an ordinary couple has their existence upended by a new contraption: in this case, a lemon-yellow motor home. They make the mistake of towing said behemoth to Colorado, a honeymoon journey fraught with tilted axles and Lucy's ill-advised collection of large souvenir rocks. One disaster follows another, with the action rarely rising above the level of a sitcom (MGM's top director of musicals, Vincente Minnelli, is overqualified here). One notable exception: the climactic sequence, a funny-nervous crawl up an 8,000-foot mountain pass. The film was a box-office hit, proving that moviegoers would go to theaters to see a TV star's hair in its natural red color. --Robert Horton |

Who Knew A Honeymoon On 4 Wheels Could Be So Funny!! The "Long Long Trailer" is the second Lucy movie I saw and it's probably my favorite one. With a dynamic cast who dosn't love Lucy with Ricky? And a surprisely funny plot you can't help but love this hidden Lucy treasure. I watch this movie again and again- I'm only disappointed it hasn't come to DVD.
Tacy(Lucy) and Nicky(Desi) have it all love-- but, there love is soon tested when they decide to buy a trailer instead of a proper home. Soon casosis erupts as Lucy and Nicky have to deal with cramped spaces, car problems, dozens of nick-nacks, high mountains,pesky relatives, trailer brakes, and annoying neighbors-- which eventually lead to martial fueds and a break-up. Will Nicky and Tacy be able to overcome the trailer? Who could of guessed a life on four wheels could be so funny? This is one of my favorite old movies of all time and more importantly it's funny I still laugh everytime I watch it.
This is a must for any old comedy movie buff or any Lucy or Desi fan!!!!!
Remember fella, trailer brake first, trailer brake first... It's an outright crime that this in not being released in DVD these days. When you can find all you NEVER wanted being put out on DVD, but this isn't, it just doesn't seem right. Enter the image of a hapless man trying to control a barrelling, careening car pulling a trailer, with a gruff Laurence Tierney-esque head revolving around him screaming "trailer brake!! trailer brake!!"...I tell you, there are simply too many priceless moments. Large boulders being kept as souveneirs being another. It's just a funny, charming, fantastic movie that is that is definitely one you should pick up if you are considering doing so. Right next to any of the "Road to" movies in terms of pure classic nature comedy and perfection. I can never recommend this movie highly enough, and anyone I show it to absolutely loves it. Get it and enjoy and I cannot wait for the DVD!!! My VHS is almost worn thin!
Good Laughs This movie is such a 'feel good' movie!! Truly a classic! Grab a bowl of popcorn and a soft drink and get ready for some good laughs!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! |
