Leave your thoughts about Miss Grant Takes Richmond.
| User ReviewMatthew SMy favroite Lucy movie so far. Loved the comedy, and the story. Simplistic but fun. Also is more like her Lucy antics then other movies. |
| User ReviewLinda JI'm watching MGTR right now on TCM and Lucy's a fabulous movie actress! 5 out of 5! |
| User ReviewLila WOne of Lucille Ball's best movies. Cleaver and refreshing.I love this one. |
| User ReviewBradley HOne of Lucy's funniest movies! It's a crying shame that it's not as well known as her other films. And leading men don't get much better than William Holden. |
| User ReviewChrisanne SYou get to see Ball at her comic best before she was Lucy. |
| User ReviewPaul DA strong comedy from the studio era. Lucille Ball's timing is not perfect but William Holden plays his part well and provides an excellent foil for the harmless antics. |
| User ReviewNathan DCute - pre Lucy show, Lucile Ball is more than just Lucy |
| User ReviewJames HAverage comedy, uplifted tremendously by the presence of Lucille Ball and William Holden. They make it well worth watching, and the two of them have a great rapport together. Amusing. |
| User ReviewMichelle SLame! Lame! Lame! Lame! Lucy's schtick doesn't work the same magic on the big screen as it does on TV- as usual. The humour is derrived entirely from jokes about how much she can get in Holden's way without knowing it. This film had William Holden backed by character actor legends James Gleason and Frank McHugh as fail-safe insurance and somehow it still stunk on ice. The 'cute' rescue scene at the end was especially gag-worthy. |
| User ReviewSteve S** (out of four) Noteworthy mostly for the pairing of Lucille Ball and William Holden. Both seem like they were waiting for better material (which they would both get) to come along. Ball is a wacky secretary who puts a wrench in a bunch of bookies illegal activities. |
