The Long Long Trailer 1954 New On Bluray

Product Description: “They’re In The Movies NOW!” proclaimed M-G-M’s ads heralding the arrival on the big movie screen of America’s favorite television couple, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Filmed during hiatus between seasons of their landmark CBS sitcom I LOVE LUCY, THE LONG, LONG TRAILER gave 1954 audiences a chance to see Lucy and Desi in a first-class comedy, based on a best-selling book under the inspired direction of the masterful Vincente Minnelli. M-G-M bought the screen rights to the 1951 Clinton Twiss novel which was adapted for the specific comedic gifts of Lucy & Desi by screenwriters Albert Hackett & Frances Goodrich. Instead of being Lucy & Ricky as on TV, their characters are Tacy and Nicky, newlyweds who begin their wedded bliss traveling with their not-so-mobile home, an enormous trailer. The studio’s trepidation over whether or not audiences would pay to see Lucy & Desi on the big screen were happily unfounded. The film was one of M-G-M’s biggest box office hits of 1954, and continues to be an evergreen favorite of audiences of all ages.
