The Long, Long Trailer

[Toolman]

1954 movie with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. If any of you people out there have not seen this movie, figure out where to rent it or watch it because it is hilarious. All the physics and difficulties in towing a huge trailer still apply today. I tried the long trailer thing years ago with a Ford Dually and I discovered I’m not cut out for that kind of hassle factor. Lol

great movie

I tow a stupid long bumper pull, and it is a heavy s.o.b. toy box, 40 feet tip to tip. Should have learned my lesson after seeing this movie as a kid, but I didn't. Only saving grace is I store it 9 miles from the dunes and basically live in it for 6 months during the glamis season, so I don't really tow it much or far.





oh,.... and I don't tow it with a f150 or a "ford fucking ranger" lol

I’m a huge fan! Love that movie! Ask me anything about “I Love Lucy” & I can answer without googling

One of the first movies i watched with my grand mother. Im only 39 years old. She would let me watch 3 stooges, Mr. Ed, Francis the talking mule, Beverly hill billies originals (not the 90s remake). All them good wholesome comedies!

Lucille Ball thought she was going to die while filming the iconic 'I Love Lucy' grape-vat fight: 'I was drowning in these grapes'

People are remembering the late TV star's iconic moments in celebration of her birthday, including the grape-stomping scene.

I read about this yesterday too! I didn't realize the language barrier but it probably helped make the scene what is was!

The Automat is a terrific Documentary on TCM streaming. Free.

My Aunt took me there in 1959 and man o man was it good.
Nickle metal and marble galore, amazing food, the New York energy.
A bunch of locations.

I remember some years later the aunt telling the locations had become seedy, starting to close and she didn't want to go back.
Beautiful girl my aunt was then
Always mistaken for Vivien Leigh, especially in NYC.

War bride, married serious money, she is still alive funny and full of life as ever. Her stories could make good movies.
Has a suite at the Del Coronado.
A separate thread for some other time.

I remember watching that movie on TV when I was a kid.

It's corny as fuck to watch now, but pretty much Anything with Lucy and Ricky is great!
