THE MAGIC CARPET! ("You are the image of a hippopotamus!") and, of course, The Fuller Brush Girl.

Ah yes, Fuller Brush Girl and the birth of . . . . her many slapstick talents. This is where Lucy started to show her adeptness at slapstick comedy and a comedy style that was displayed even further in her new comedy series on tv.

I'll take Miss Grant Takes Richmond...

 

followed by Fancy Pants and Ed Wynn (for the historic magnitude of their appearance)

 

I've tried to sit through MGTR twice now and it's unwatchable in my opinion, it really is terrible. Fancy Pants on the other hand is fun, silly, but fun!

Once again I have to disagree with you Brock. It's another movie of Lucy's that I can't sit through. In fact, it's the only Ball/Hope movie I cannot watch, it's just terrible, this one truly is terrible! In fact, I would rather watch "Miss Grant Takes Richmond" anyday over "Sorrowful Jones".

Good God, am i ever happpy i'm more subdued in my OLD AGE. Conversations like this one would have sent me over the edge in the OLD days, LOL! Easy Living was boring to me and she was not fond of Victor Mature as he was anything but. While she adored Hope and Holden so her fondness for them comes through in the great Grant Takes Richmond and the melt your heart Sorrowful Jones. So, Sorrowful is the best of the three with Grant takes Richmond a close second but Easy Living is far behind, another B picture that is totally unmemorable.

I think you summed it up when you said that we live on opposite sides of the world so my views are BOUND to be different! :lucythrill:
