Critique:

This collection of DVDs features America's most lovable redhead on film. Make no mistake, this is not I Love Lucy, which made Lucille Ball a household name. However, true Lucille Ball fans will value this collection, as it demonstrates her roots in musical comedy, and features some of the best comedians of the time - including Red Skelton and Bob Hope. True classic movie fans also will recognize Maureen O'Hara, who starred in beloved classics, such as Miracle on 34^th Street with Natalie Wood, McClintock with John Wayne, and The Parent Trap with Hayley Mills.
