I call it Brief Encounter with laughs. You really nailed it on the different chemistry between Lucy and her partners. There's something about this time of year that makes me choose Bob's movies when I want a laugh.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-26032880393972089912017-12-02T18:25:28.278-05:002017-12-02T18:25:28.278-05:00You're welcome.

I was gonna do this by myself until I remembered you had this blogathon going on.<br /><br />Lucy is less like Lucy Ricardo here, which is odd because her TV shows without Desi were Lucy-esque. Maybe she felt a movie audience had different expectations?Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376065182154885503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189120682398421108.post-69104401785805309332017-12-02T13:21:46.116-05:002017-12-02T13:21:46.116-05:00It's been a long time since I've seen this...It's been a long time since I've seen this film, and unfortunately I don't seem to remember much about it, which is crazy since it's Ball and Hope. I'll have to make a point of recording it next time it's on TCM.<br /><br />You make a good point about the dynamic between Lucy and Bob versus Lucy and Desi. You can see the differences a little bit in the I Love Lucy episode they all did together. I think the expectations were different when Lucy was paired with someone other than Desi. With him, she was expected to be some version of Lucy Ricardo. Without him, she had a little more variety.<br /><br />Thanks for contributing this nice review to my blogathon!Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06595610476583704014noreply@blogger.com
