This scene in the movie was HILARIOUS. We were laughing for a good half hour after that because its nerve wracking and they're talking about such an absurd subject!! I'm keeping this piece to watch and laugh again!!
The old 1950's cars werre workhorses! They were gas guzzlers, but gas was cheap back then. Great comedy. Love how Lucy and Desi make us laugh with just their facial expressions and the topic of their strained conversation.
when we moved from CO to CA. pulling a trailer we had a episode much like this. I was 5 and we were coming down a mountain, and cars were pulled over, obviously, seeing us coming and wanted to avoid us, and I remember looking out the window, behind me, and seeing the trailer sway from side to side. I remember being scared, so this movie brings back true memories of my childhood in the 50's
I remember my mom introduced me to this movie when I was a kid and I liked it a lot. Mostly because much of it was filmed in the Sierra Nevada mountains, I used to go up there every summer with my family. If this were to happen in today’s day and age they would need a dually turbo diesel truck to haul a trailer like that up a mountain like the one here.
They used a different car for that scene. It was more powerful (Y block vs sidevalve) but looked similar. You can see the grille is different from the rest of the movie.
Not, EVEN. I'll bet they completely gutted the inside of that trailer, just for that scene, so that Lincoln could handle it. It NEVER would have made it, otherwise..only a one-ton truck of that era (at a MINIMUM) with very LOW rear-end gearing, would be realistic for extensive towing, for a trailer of that weight.
OMG! I remember that theater!! What a great film to see there!!! I saw The Wizard of Oz there!! Only time I ever saw it on the big screen. Remember the comfy couches with the "coffee" table in front of them with the big glowing button on them that you could press in the dark that would call the "drink girl" to get you a drink?
On our trip across country Ken and I were on a road similar to this and, after turning a corner, we met a great big motorhome-not a dinky car. It was the same type of dropoff. We had a trailer that was really too large for the truck we pulled it with but we did make it over several passes. I was just glad I wasn't driving. I shut my eyes and just hoped we would make it. A little later, I saw that Ken had us going on another similar pass. I refused to go with him. I finally convinced him to take a little different route even if it was longer. By doing that we got to see Telluride ski area.
In 1974 we took a huge van like that into the Australian outback. At a creek crossing the approaches were so steep the vans stabilization sway bars lifted the back wheels of our Ford station wagon clear off the ground. Luckily there was a roadworks gang at the crossing, building a new bridge to replace the crossing. They used a grader to haul us out. My Mom regularly reminded Dad of this adventure by playing this movie as many times as she could.
This movie came on at around 2:00 am one morning. I remember I had to get up to go to work and I had left the TV on all night. This is when TBN use to play really good movies early in the morning, I guess for insomniac's. It kept me up laughing. This really is a cult classic. Desi's performance was so funny. The part here where they are freaking out, but keeping a conversation always gets me laughing.
I love this movie, I have always enoyed everytime that I saw it on television and I bought the DVD set too!! I love Lucy, but what the heck were you "thinking" putting those rocks in the trailer, and not telling Ricky about them before this harrowing part of the trip!!!!!
And why didn’t she get much smaller rocks? She instead got boulders. She must’ve had half a mountain’s worth of boulders in that trailer and ten years worth of canned goods.😂 I don’t blame him for throwing that stuff over the cliff once they had reached the top of the mountain and he had discovered it.
We lived in this exact trailer when I was growing up at the lake after my dad died. Except even this trailer was actually 2 bedrooms, one built in double bed behind the kitchen wall, a walk-thru room to the bath and then the back bedroom. On the movie they just hid the fact it was two bedroom. Ours was even the same exact color.
My mom told me a about making this trip in the 1950s. She said people had signs in their car windows that said “Pike’s Peak or bust!” She said a lot of cars broke down trying to make it up that mountain. Keep in mind that even though the cars were work horses, they had varying degrees of age and wear and tear.
OMG... Everything in this film was so well done! If it were remade today they would be so heavy handed about every gag that it would be unrecognizable and entirely unfunny.
I love Lucy, but she REALLY did a dumb thing, hiding the fact that "tons" of rocks were in the trailer when they made this harrowing mountain climb and thankfuly NOT DROP!!!!!
Nida Abdulkarim I wonder were you would get the hole movie. ? I loved the movie I was a small boy .I thought it was the most interesting movie I ever seen. LOL that's no small feet to hold a small boys interest.
I remember seeing this move, before I was a Teen, which means over 50 yrs ago. My feet go numb at the over the edge shots. We have a few 5000 ft high Passes in Canada, but I haven't seen one as Steep as this, though the Coch in BC is almost as bad That poor Car should have been boiling over long before the Summit Whitney Portal Road was where that was filmed
The notion of towing such a barge as a 40 foot New Moon with Any passenger car is absurd. The potential to accelerate is based on the profile of a heavy truck that floats along and the braking action for any Ford, Mercury, or Lincoln is laughable when a huge dead weight is behind. I love the movie for the concept of home on wheels,but the truth about towing such a rig is absolutely ridiculous.
A great old movie ! But we have some problems here... 1953 Mercury Monterey convertible weighs 3,770 lbs. with a 256 CI engine pumping out 125 HP. These cars had a towing capacity of maybe 3,000 lbs not the three tons that trailer was claimed to have. The car wouldn't be able to tow that huge ass thing.
What you are saying is very true, that's why if you look closer at the car in the clip you will notice that it is not a Mercury but rather a yellow 1953 Lincoln which had around 200 hp and a much bigger engine. The Lincoln succeeded where the Mercury would have failed but just about nobody noticed the switch.
@@8176morgan Yes sir.... While filming location shots they found out the Monterey had no ability to pull such weight up even a moderate incline, so they got a yellow Lincoln to stand in. 1953 Lincoln Capri was a much sturdier car with a heavier engine, but I'm pretty sure even it would have a maximum tow capacity of maybe a ton. I never before saw a hitch dolly like they had. Interesting stuff
I'm curious about the scenes where he is backing up and the trailer extends way out over the edge of the mountain. I know they didn't have CGI back then, so I wonder if this was done with miniatures. Seems incredibly dangerous even if it was done by professional stunt drivers.
I'm shocked a car can pull something that heavy looks like a nice trailer but I would hate to sleep in it in the summertime without air conditioning it must be over a hundred degrees in there
They should have clamped on mirrors on both front fenders in order to see what is alongside and behind them.... they should have enlisted the help of someone who actually knew how to properly equip a car for trailer towing!
i love that movie ! i have see that movie in the early 80ties in TV ! i have found that movie on DVD in 2018 ! i love old space age cars ! i have old space age cars ! and i have a 24 feet long camper ! with an old us car ! but not a women was collect stones !!!! 🤣🤣🤣 thanks god !
Always one to complain.. Nothing is ever good enough. If you MUST know..I did this clip years ago and I tried to post the whole movie. But I had no idea what I was doing.. It keep getting flagged and removed.. So you get what you get. Lucky you got this much to be honest. Just be happy.
The strained tension of their delivery is so hilariously perfect

The cars back then were built heavier than a pick up truck today. And so was the campers!
gas was cheaper ? the minimum wage was $0.75 per hour. gas was about .30 gallon and with the metal cars were made of .
This scene never fails to grab my stomach! 😲
Saw that movie on TV when I was a kid and yeah holding my seat all the way too!! LOL!!!
Oh my gosh, just watched it. Never saw that movie (I thought it was an episode, but guess not). Whew!
@@annwithaplan9766 How did you like it?
The aspect ratio is only 4 x 5 but it's wickedly nerve wracking!

The timing of this is executed perfectly between the silences and the dialog it adds to the comedy 😆
Trailer brakes first!!! Trailer brakes first!!!!!!

It's amazing that the filmmakers actually got a car to pull that absurdly long trailer up a steep twisty mountain road.
Stuff was built differently back then. Heavy cars with low horsepower but lots of torque.
They used a different car for that scene. It was more powerful (Y block vs sidevalve) but looked similar. You can see the grille is different from the rest of the movie.
@@davidbernardi3393 Yes for the scenes requiring lots of pulling power they used a Lincoln, with some doodads on it to make it look like the Mercury.
Not, EVEN. I'll bet they completely gutted the inside of that trailer, just for that scene, so that Lincoln could handle it. It NEVER would have made it, otherwise..only a one-ton truck of that era (at a MINIMUM) with very LOW rear-end gearing, would be realistic for extensive towing, for a trailer of that weight.
2:25 i love her line delivery NOT THE ONE WHO DIDNT KNOW THE BROTHER!!
You mean the one who knew the brother?
By the way, they are referring to Elizabeth Taylor as the " brunette who liked squirrels."
A hilarious scene to illustrate a very serious warning to all marriages. DON'T KEEP SECRETS FROM ONE ANOTHER!
I felt like I held my breath the whole time.
Me too 😅😅😅
The guy who get out of his Vehicle is my great uncle Norman.
You’re a legend, Norman!
Such an iconic scene.
Ya right
Great character actor
Lucky!
.
I laughed way too hard at this.
These kinds of roads scare the hell out of me.
.
I've driven this route many times for hang gliding from Walt's Point near Horseshoe Meadows. Yes, it's been repaved...
Omg my ex and I watched this at the old mgm casino theatre pre-fire in Las Vegas. Best comedy ever!!!

I grew up with them and remember this episode ❤ They were the greatest together.
I hope that they’ll remastered this on HD and release it on Blu-ray. 🤞🏼
UPDATE: I just got the Blu-ray! 🙌🏼
The colors are gorgeous
Warner is releasing it in Blu Ray next month

Great movie! One of my favorites!😂👍🏽❤️ Watched it again last night.
I LIKED it when he was a wild man and flung out the rocks and the wife was screaming and yelling.
It's funny. Not one thriller or horror movie has made me feel as tense as I felt from watching this Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz comedy from the 50s.
I would have turned back long before that. They nuts or what??!! 😮
Do you think they could have turned that combination around?
The tension you feel talking finances with your husband LMAO
I love this movie, I have always enoyed everytime that I saw it on television and I bought the DVD set too!! I love Lucy, but what the heck were you "thinking" putting those rocks in the trailer, and not telling Ricky about them before this harrowing part of the trip!!!!!

Coming down that grade woulda been much worse then going up lol

I was white-knuckling it just watching!
Ricky should’ve kept that Ford truck he had in the old show, would’ve had plenty of power

great movie
terrifying road! ive been on it
Where
uh huh...
OMG... Everything in this film was so well done! If it were remade today they would be so heavy handed about every gag that it would be unrecognizable and entirely unfunny.
This happens when your wife collect rocks! Ha ha ha!
right... lmao
LOL
I love Lucy, but she REALLY did a dumb thing, hiding the fact that "tons" of rocks were in the trailer when they made this harrowing mountain climb and thankfuly NOT DROP!!!!!
This spoke to me. I collect rocks, we got an RV.......
O no! Seriously? They end it there? "Loooceee!" (the rocks she brought). Restored in color is really nice.
That poor guy in that little vehicle when he saw the giant trailer coming towards him was like "why do I hear Boss music playing?" 😂
Luv that movie!!!
I'm freaking out just watching this!
Thank you 🙏 but if you don’t mind we would like the full film thanks again

Whitney Portal Road was where that was filmed
Genius!
Flashbacks of going up Red Mountain Pass in Colorado! Yikes, never again!
Too bad we can't see the end of this scene, where he discovers all the rocks that she had promised to jettison earlier.
Making small talk to forget the situation that you're in that would scare the crap out of me
Omg the tension is so real

Y'all talking like this is a documentary.
53 Cadillac 62 series 210 hp more powerful than the Lincoln would of hauled that trailer with no problem what soever
If you look close that was a 53 Lincoln Capri doing the hill
Summer travel in British Columbia
This part sure scared me!

Talking finances with your spouse XD
As steep as that hill is. I'm surprised that the car could get the trailer up the road.
4:35 that’s intense
I live in Colorado been here sence 1966 I don't like passes at all!
Jesus, that was intense
No kidding!!!!!
Why are you telling Jesus? What does He have to do with it?
@@suzycreamcheesez4371 omg you are so dum lol
I know where this trailer is. This exact one.
Hilarious!!!
Please please put the hole movie 🎥 l love this movie 🍿
The hole movie? I think the hole thing about the whole in the road is confusing.
Hole movie? I thought it was about a trailer?
Hole movie? Oh, The Tunnel?
The part with the rockss
Ive been trying to upload the whole movie.. I just cant seem to figure it out.. it gets flagged. still working on it. sorry for any inconvenience.
@@Crackerjacks420 I Remember watching this as a kid I get anxiety watching it.
This kind of driving is nerve wrecking going up a steep mountain hauling a heavy trailer.
I have that movie.
Did trailers have brakes back then? I notice too the tongue has been modified with tires underneath.
was this going up Pike's Peak??? It almost looks like it.
I'm shocked a car can pull something that heavy looks like a nice trailer but I would hate to sleep in it in the summertime without air conditioning it must be over a hundred degrees in there
Brett Duffy Desi’s a good driver Piece of cake.
I am more worried about going down 😮
Can someone please upload the full movie.
😂 where in tha heck are they and why they gotta go so high up All to just come back down
Tioga Pass right outside Yosemite National Park on highway 120
It was mentioned that the road around the mountain was a very long detour and in poor condition.
Donde esta la película completa???.!!!!!
Where was it filmed
The credits thanked the National Park Service for allowing them to film at Yosemite.
This movie is old as dirt, but still managed to make me believe I was up 5000 feet. 🤢
They should have clamped on mirrors on both front fenders in order to see what is alongside and behind them.... they should have enlisted the help of someone who actually knew how to properly equip a car for trailer towing!
Ricky took lessons and got advice from the mechanics and sellers of the trailer, but Ricky didn't count on the rocks!!!!!!!
i love that movie !
i have see that movie in the early 80ties in TV !
i have found that movie on DVD in 2018 !
i love old space age cars !
i have old space age cars !
and
i have a 24 feet long camper !
with an old us car !
but not a women was collect stones !!!!
🤣🤣🤣
thanks god !
Where is that road
This was before the show wasn’t it?
What happened next?
Why would they choose to take that road?
It was the only road available. The alternate route was impassable because the "flood washed out the bridge".
What episode was this?
Its a movie . called the long long trailer.. if i could figure out how to load the whole movie i would.. Im trying . =/
Me Here ~ Season 5 Episode 8. Lucy and Rickey go camping
In this movie, I think she calls him Nicky, and NO, the Mertzes are never shown.
