I first saw this film on television quite a few years back, so long ago that I saw it in black and white. I was therefore a bit surprised to find that it's in color. I can see how Lucille Ball would want to be filmed in color so as to show off that red hair. She and Desi Arnaz played parts similar to, but not exactly like their roles in "I Love Lucy". I wasn't around in the mid 50's, so I'm not sure if this came before, during, or after their show. The movie played a lot like an extended episode. There were some quite good scenes. Lucille Ball was probably the best physical comedienne of her era. Overall, though, it really didn't hold my interest.
