(6,996 posts)1. My Lucy/Desi guilty pleasure.
I love The Long, Long Trailer (2AM). Lucy and Desi demanded a top-notch director and got him in Vincente Minnelli along with a cast of some of the best supporting actors in the business.
The Writer's Guild nominated the screenplay for the Best Written American Comedy award.
Great fun from start to finish.

(3,510 posts)3. Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple is a joy to watch in Murder Ahoy.

I'm surprised at that.
