Viewing Notes

Another film included in the TCM Greatest Classic Films 4-movie set (that I got from the library for ARSENIC AND OLD LACE). Figured I’d watch this one b/c I haven’t seen it and it stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

This is a very 1950s slapstick comedy you’d expect from that duo. It’s really like a feature film version of the Lucille Ball show. It’s fine but a bit much at feature length.
