From Amazon.com
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

Customer Reviews

the long long trailer
Great fun for the whole family. Brings back memories in every sense of the movie. Lucy and Desi are great fun to watch.

Lucy and Desi at their best!
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!

Such a GREAT movie!
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!
