      robert p A good movie starring with her husband about traveling and collecting rocks!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Good clean fun. This was a movie made at a time when comedy didn't rely on cussing and vulgarity. Good writing and acting. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm watching MGTR right now on TCM and Lucy's a fabulous movie actress! 5 out of 5! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member One of Lucy's funniest movies! It's a crying shame that it's not as well known as her other films. And leading men don't get much better than William Holden. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute - pre Lucy show, Lucile Ball is more than just Lucy Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Average comedy, uplifted tremendously by the presence of Lucille Ball and William Holden. They make it well worth watching, and the two of them have a great rapport together. Amusing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
