This photo shows off one of the trailer park sets designed by Art Director Edward Carfagno for The Long, Long Trailer, a 1954 romantic comedy starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Ball and Arnaz play newlyweds who decide to honeymoon by driving across the country pulling an oversized trailer equipped with every modern convenience, with predictably disastrous results. Though it’s about a road trip, most of the film was shot on the stages and backlot at MGM, where Carfagno and his crew equipped the sets with numerous full-size New Moon Trailers that were cleverly customized for the film.
