Classic Films at the Ferg: The Long, Long Trailer (1954)

Join us each month as we screen a classic and noteworthy title from film history.

This month we will be showing Vincente Minnelli's The Long, Long Trailer from 1954 starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

Nicky and Tacy are going to be married. Nicky wants to save up money for a house, but Tacy dreams of starting off with their own home on wheels--a trailer. After the two are hitched, they hitch up their trailer and begin their honeymoon. The humor comes from several disastrous adventures the couple has while traveling including Tacy's awkward attempt to cook dinner in a moving trailer, and a cliffhanging ride through the mountains that nearly destroys their marriage.
