Customer Rating:
Summary: SUPERB LUCY AND DESI VEHICLE!
Comment: The Long, Long Trailer is a novel by Clinton Twiss from the 1950s. It is about a couple who buy a new travel trailer home and spend a year traveling across the United States.
The novel was made into a movie in 1954 starring Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz, Marjorie Main, Keenan Wynn, Bert Freed, Moroni Olsen, Gladys Hurlbut, Madge Blake, and Walter Baldwin. It was directed by Vincente Minnelli working from a screenplay by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich.
According to Turner Classic Movies' host, Robert Osborne, the studio was not sure if this film would be a success because they thought that people would not pay money to see Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz in a movie when they could watch Lucy & Desi on television for free (I Love Lucy). So Desi made a $25,000 bet with the studio that the movie would make more money than the current highest grossing comedy at that time (Father of the Bride starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor and also directed by Vincente Minnelli). Desi won the bet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cute and funny.
Comment: The Long, Long Trailer starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz is such a adorable and suprisely engaging comedy. Their chemistry is so obvious and natural, too bad their marriage didn't last. This movie was filmed during the summer break of I Love Lucy, I highly recommend this friendly caper. I love road trip flicks, buy this today!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Timelessly funny
Comment: I Love Lucy... even when they were starting their career as Stacy and Nikki (in this movie).
This movie is just good old fashioned (50's) fun.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The long, long, trailer.
Comment: Great movie. Clean, classic, and simple. It entertains without all the special effects, sex and violence required today. They don't make them like this anymore.

Editorial Reviews:

Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz live slaphappily ever after as newlyweds honeymooning in The Long, Long Trailer, breezily directed by Vincente Minnelli. They quickly find that the interior of a moving trailer is ideal for tossing a Caesar salad - and everything else. That backing up their 40-foot, three-ton home is only a little more difficult than threading a needle wearing boxing gloves. And that trailer-park folks are neighborly sorts who turn the lovebirds' rig into the wrong, wrong trailer by crashing the wedding night. Co-starring comedy pros Marjorie Main and Keenan Wynn (Ball's frequent co-star in her MGM days), this smash was filmed at the height of the I Love Lucy craze and is packed with the inventive sight gags and physical humor that made the series a TV landmark. If you like the Trailer, you're going to love the movie!
