The one and only big screen teaming of Lucille Ball and Eddie Albert finds them as a pair of newlyweds wondering how they're going to make the payments on their dream house. Then Lucy gets the bright idea of getting a job as a Fuller Brush Girl.

I am so glad I decided to give this one a try. I was ready for some laughs, and I surely did laugh!

Ah, this is fun. I've heard that in this movie, Ms.

Lucy was meant for the small screen. She had dramatic skills--The Big Street--and comic timing.

I'm a big I Love Lucy fan, don't get me wrong. But the slightly younger, slightly prettier, slightly more energetic Lucille Ball of the Fuller Brush Girl may actually have been Lucy at an even higher peak.

Bacon may have directed, but the sight gags are pure Tashlin. His cartoonish style is perfect for out-and-out slapstick.

This movie is like watching one of the best episodes of I Love Lucy. This is definitely a slapstick movie with a lot of sight gags and funny predicaments.

Lucille Ball and Eddie Albert would like to get married and buy a model house. They both work for shady boss Jerome Cowan, who has a plan to use Albert for a crooked scheme and then fire him.

Absolute side-splitting comedy dealing with the incomparable Lucille Ball losing her switchboard job and trying to work for the Fuller Brush Company. The situations that she soon finds herself in are hilarious at best to describe.
