First Lady of Comedy-Lucille Ball

I purchased this set to get a less-expensive and proper DVD copy (not a costly DVD-R) of "The Magic Carpet" (I'm a collector of swashbuckler films), but I also really enjoyed "Miss Grant Takes Richmond". I've not yet seen "The Fuller Brush Girl", but "Her Husband's Affairs" is truly dreadful -- a stupid story made excruciating by an egregiously-sexist premise and continual sexist remarks. Franchot Tone as the ad-man husband is irked by Lucille Ball as the intelligent, capable wife who continually gets him out of jams. She promises to be a good wife and go back to the kitchen. Yikes! I'm not a politically-correct, hyper-sensitive feminist-type, but that movie is cringe-inducing. I don't know why Mill Creek put it in this collection.Anyway, "Miss Grant" is a great comedy: brisk, witty, and just plain fun. "The Magic Carpet" is a b-movie swashbuckler, but I enjoy it, and it's improved a good deal by 1.3X playback on my DVD player. These two films alone are worth the $12 this set cost.

This is a great collection from Mill Creek in partnership with Sony Pictures. This collection is just the same as the Sony Pictures Choice Collection of Lucille Ball, but this one is pressed and not MOD. The quality of all four films are quite good and this collection doesn't have any subtitles or other audio besides English. "Her Husband's Affair" and "Miss Grant Takes Richmond" is on one disk and "The Fuller Brush Girl" and "The Magic Carpet" is on the second disk. All movies except "The Magic Carpet" are in black and white and all movies are in Fullscreen format.Her Husband's Affair (1947/85min)-Lucille Ball, Franchot Tone, Edward Everett Horton, Gene Lockhart, Nana Bryant, Jonathan Hale; directed by S.

These films are transferred beautifully on these two discs. Too bad all the movies aren’t so great . The reason I bought it was to see The Fuller Brush Girl. It’s truly funny and shows Lucille Ball at her comic best. Next, Miss Grant Takes Richmond is also a film made to show Lucy’s comic talents. She’s very beautiful too! Sadly, the other two films aren’t just bad, they are terrible. The a Magic Carpet should be on Mystery Science Theater...it’s just awful, but I read that the studio was punishing Lucille Ball, and boy they sure did! I’m glad I have this set, nonetheless!

This compilation of Lucille Ball's work is phenomenal! I purchased this as a gift for my mother, who is a huge Lucy fan, and she was beyond thrilled. The quality of the shows is immaculate and worked well on both my mother's older combination TV/DVD player as well as my newer TV and Xbox One console.

Mill Creek has done a great job here with releasing these Lucille Ball movies from her period at Columbia. Two of these are comic gems: The Fuller Brush Girl and Miss Grant Takes Richmond, featuring some of the slapstick comedy Lucy would be know for when she took TV by storm. The other two are at least interesting relics of her past. In all cases, Mill Creek has used pristine prints and the video quality is exceptional. Great product, great price!

Came in perfect condition. Disc viewing perfect. I do love Lucy (ha-ha), but these were not her best movies. "Fuller Brush Girl" has its great moments and some really made me laugh . Loved "Ms. Grant Takes Richmond"; preposterous but that's what makes it funny. The one movie set in the faux-Middle East (some Arabian-nights theme, can't remember the name)...sooooo bad it was almost too bad to watch but I guess that campiness has it's charm. Absolutely disliked "her Husband's Affairs"...hard to struggle through that one.

I confess that I have not watched every movie yet, but I couldn't wait to recommend THE MAGIC CARPET to all the folks who love crap. This was the movie that Harry Cohn used to try to get Lucy to break her contract. She's so terrible it wouldn't have hurt her performance a bit if she'd chewed gum. She's actually worse than John Agar who never looked more wooden or uncomfortable. There's always something happening in this movie, all of it bad and all of it wonderful.

Love it!!! ❤️👍🏼😊
