The Big Street is one movie that you'll notice Lucille Ball's true acting ability. In this movie, she plays a very bitter and uncaring singer who only thinks about herself as the "heiress." If you watch this movie, you'll probably think she acts quite snobby and self-centered. Although it might get on your nerves, it proves that a true actress can really make you hate her on the big screens, and that's what Lucille Ball has proved.
If you're also a big "I Love Lucy" fan, you'll see a different view of Lucy when she actually cries with real tears- which is a sad version, rather than the crying she does in "I Love Lucy"- which is the funny version. Lucille Ball does a terrific job in the snobby role. The movie is also mainly centered on her as well.
The bad thing about this movie is that the storyline is a little unreal and seems to have been written beyond the normal imagination. If the minor problems would have been done right, this movie, otherwise, is great and a true classic to watch.
