Vincente Minnelli’s THE LONG, LONG TRAILER
(1954, 96 min)
First ever screening at Retro!
“They’re In The Movies NOW!” proclaimed MGM’s ads heralding the arrival on the big movie screen of America’s favorite television couple, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Filmed between seasons of their landmark sitcom, “I Love Lucy”, this film gave 1954 audiences a chance to see Lucy and Desi in a first-class comedy. Instead of being Lucy & Ricky as on TV, they play newlyweds who begin their wedded bliss traveling with their not-so-mobile home, an enormous trailer. The studio’s concerns over whether or not audiences would pay to see Lucy & Desi on the big screen were happily unfounded. The film was one of MGM’s biggest box office hits of 1954 and continues to be a favorite of audiences of all ages.
