Better than the series

Because fans stayed away from this film in droves, Lucy and Desi never made another movie together. Too bad, because the film is far superior to the series. Credit should go to veteran director Vincente Minelli and his sure hand in balancing the material. Against all odds: Ball's slapstick is drained of usual shrillness, Desi's star is allowed to shine, situation is raised above personality, and peripheral crowd scenes are heightened to hilarious commentary on busybody middle America. In fact, this is one of few 50's movies to capture spirit of a rising middle class: the buoyant optimism, the credit card dependency, the aping of upper class tastes. All is accomplished, nevertheless, with an underlying sweetness that might not be expected from two overaged stars then in the process of subduing the tigers of TV land. Moreover, the choice of a trailer gimmick for the comedy setting was an inspired one. A true little gem and document of its time.

You will laugh for a long long time

Get out of the apartment and see what Lucy and Desi are capable of on the road. The thing that makes this comedy great is that they do not go off the deep end. All the things that happen in this movie can easily happen to you or me.

Do you ever just want to get out on the open road and see the world? Or live like a gypsy but with all the comforts of home? Do you have any idea what it takes? Where are you going to put your collections?
Everything you want to know about living the trailer life is in this movie.

I suggest you watch this before purchasing that trailer.

The Long Long Trailer Funnnnny .

LONG LONG TRAILER REVIEW
This movie is a must if you are a fan of Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. I have viewed the VHS/PAL version and it is one of the best things done by that fabulous comedy couple from yester Year. There are several other supporting characters in this very
funny comedy. The end result just pure harmless happy fun.
The story centres on Taci ( Lucy) and Nicky (Desi) as they travel across the wide open spaces of the United States of America in a new caravan ( trailer) and a new car and morgages of thousands of dollars. The story centres upon ALL the problems thatface these novice caravaners, they have to buy a new car "It will be a big saving in the end " advises the salesmen. The completed demolition of Tacy's aunt's front
garden and their side driveway by Nicky in the reverse up the driveway scene. The cast is filled with funny supporting characters like Marjorie Main, and Keenan Wynn
who has five words in all as he plays the cop on point duty. He was perfect for the roll. Lucy and Desi singing "Breezing Along With the Breeze," with the back drop of that famous beautiful Yosemite National Park another great moment.
The scene where they have collected rocks and assorted fruit /jams and are so over load the caravan now weights five tonnes. They struggle up the eight thousand foot
high mountain road with Nicky not knowing why the brakes are over heating on the down grades and the motor is working hard to climb the next hill. All is revealed at the very top of the mountain when the caravan almost collapses from the strain and
stress of the climb. At the very end of the movie as the greater part is told in a single flash back the story and the viewer catch up with the pair, they kiss and make up in
true Hollywood style. There are some small faults such as boom shadows and cars changing make and model on the mountain external scenes in the production however they are minor and do not detract from the finished product. A great movie with two
Super Professional Stars in the Old Hollywood tradition. The end result was a box office hit for the 1954 season.
Great work , great movie and five stars all the way.

A feel good movie

Lucy and Desi, (or Daisy and Nicki as they are known in the movie), have the chemistry that it takes to hold your full attention through this hillarious comedy. As newly weds who have bought their first "home" on wheels the adventures never end. We can all relate to that first year of marriage, and then add to the mix the comedy of the Ball/Arnaz duo and you have a feel good movie filled with all the emotions newly weds go through. This is one of the best movies they made together. Every family member should enjoy!


A funny and entertaining movie for the entire family!

I highly recommend this movie. It's Lucy and Desi at their best.
I'd give it ten stars if I could!
