4.0 out of 5 stars Lucy as a dramatic actress!, November 26, 2001

Amanda Broussard (Kenner, La United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Big Street [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a wonderful movie if you are interested in seeing a different side of Lucille Ball. She is absolutely wonderful, yet there is not a single thing funny about her character. She is cold, mean, and stubborn...but Lucy potrays the character brilliantly. you can truly see her talent as a dramatic actress in this movie. It's a tear jerker and a must for all Lucy fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best dramas Lucille Ball ever made., January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Big Street [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lucille Ball's performance shines in this intense drama. You'll not find the bumbling clown she is known for in the movie.
