At the height of their fabulous fame, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz teamed up with veteran director Vincente Minnelli for this crisp, slick, and hilarious MGM Technicolor romp about a honeymooning couple in a 40-foot three-ton mobile home (caravan).
The laughs are non-stop as newly-wed Tacy Collins (Lucille) and Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Carlos Collini (Desi) hit the road on wheels and nearly wreck everything in sight, including their marriage.
The scene where Tacy cooks her first meal while the contents of the kitchen fly through the door in a raging storm is pure I Love Lucy. This one is a must for the entire family.
