Great slapstick in fun comedy as Lucy and Desi take to the road in a monstrous 40-ft trailer, giving them more heartache than comfort! Great family fare.
Yours, Mine and OursYours, Mine and Ours

Hilarious and touching comedy when widow Lucy weds widower Henry Fonda, bringing their large brood of children together under one roof! Supposedly the inspiration for "The Brady Bunch" television series.

Lucy teams with Bob Hope in this funny little western farce. No-nonsense tomboy Lucy matches wits with phony British butler Hope. The "fox hunt" is a riot!

Lucy's first MGM film after leaving RKO. Fun musical comedy with Red Skelton fantasizing that he's Louis XVI to Lucy's Madame DuBarry. Gene Kelly also stars. Lucy is gorgeous in lush Technicolor!

Good remake of "Libeled Lady" has Lucy in the role originally played by Jean Harlow. Van Johnson, Esther Williams & Keenan Wynn costar, but Lucy steals the film in a great comedy showcase.

Another fine dramatic performance as Lucy plays amateur detective to find a murderer in early 1900's London. Boris Karloff makes a cameo appearance.
