I forgot what it was called but I caught it in the middle of it. It dealt with Lucy&Ricky & it was in color! It seemed like they were on a trip. I couldn't really watch all of it or stay focused because my mom had me cleaning that day! It was interesting to watch.. I remember a scene where Ricky&Lucy were on the road & Lucy wsa begging Ricky to drive, so Ricky finally gave in. Ricky was scared of Lucy's driving skills! That was funny! Does anyone know what I'm talking about??

I do. It's not related to I Love Lucy, though Dezi and Lucy play very similar characters. It's called The Long, Long Trailer and was made in 1954. I didn't see the entire thing, but remember being fairly entertained by what I saw.

Oh, I love The Long, Long Trailer (1954). I wish it were on DVD. Desi and Lucy also did a movie together called Forever, Darling (1956) but I don't like it as much as The Long, Long Trailer. The studio execs thought it would be a flop because they didn't think Lucy fans would pay to see her in a film when they could watch her for free on their TVs at home. They were wrong, of course.

and, it wasn't made by Desilu Studios (where ILL was filmed); it was made by MGM. Even though they didn't play Lucy & Rickie; there names-Micky & Stacy-sound like Lucy & Rickie if you say them fast.

I've seen it on TV. It's OK; not great though.

At least it's better than FD; I can't stand James Mason

Yeah, they were wrong alright. "The Long, Long Trailer" was MGM's top-grossing film ever up to that time.

I just love "The Long Long Trailer". I can see it over and over again. It's so good to see them in color.

Not to be picky but Desi is not spelled with a z.

"The Long, Long Trailer" is my favorite Lucy & Desi movie. It is so nice to see them in color. Does anyone know if they have released the movie on DVD yet? Or if there is any plans on releasing it to DVD?
