[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 439465, member: 5079"] Her film career is very underrated, IMO. I'm rare among Lucy fans in that I like her film career as much as her TV work; in fact I'd rank many of her movies ahead of her non-ILL television work. I'd go so far as to say I think she has one of the most interesting -- not necessarily the best -- filmographies of 1940s actresses. STAGE DOOR FIVE CAME BACK DANCE, GIRL, DANCE THE BIG STREET THE DARK CORNER LURED MISS GRANT TAKES RICHMOND THE FULLER BRUSH GIRL THE LONG, LONG TRAILER THE FACTS OF LIFE YOURS, MINE & OURS All interesting, (near) great and very entertaining movies showcasing her versatility between comedy and drama. I find the late '40s phase of her career particularly interesting because you can see I LOVE LUCY take shape. Her radio show MY FAVORITE HUSBAND (very enjoyable) combined with the films MISS GRANT and FULLER BRUSH laid down the framework for ILL. THE LONG, LONG TRAILER is her non-ILL peak, one of the all-time great comedies. The first season of THE LUCY SHOW is terrific, nearly as good as ILL. I rewatched it a few months ago and appreciated it even more. It's all downhill from S2 onward. I've grown to really dislike her partnership with Gale Gordon; I think she overestimated how well they worked on screen. [/QUOTE]
