   I could need a bit of help regarding an old US movie which I cannot remember the title of.

   It is a about a couple, probably set in the 1950s and black and white, which goes on their honeymoon in the US with a caravan. Everything goes wrong and I remember that at one point, the caravan comes off from the car and roles down a hill, I think with the bride still inside.

   Hint: I don't think it's this movie:

   Thanks!

     @HistoPol @noondlyt @Tim_McTuffty @mina I didn't grow up here and I have limited knowledge of pop culture. Almost all of it from Simpsons and South Park references. So, have fun

     @Tim_McTuffty @HistoPol @noondlyt @mina @Rasta sort of sounds familiar to me, but I don't know the title. 🤔

     Thanks.
     Alas, it isn't. The long, long trailer is very similar, though.

     Thanks!

     I had a similar thought: "Could have sworn there was a Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn flick that had a similar plot,..." but with Doris Day, but could not find it screening her extensive filmography.

     @HistoPol I had an inkling! (Can't imagine seeing Lucy Ball in something & not remembering she was in it...)

     Could have sworn there was a Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn flick that had a similar plot, but a quick IMDB search didn't turn up anything for either... (I also checked all of the likely suspects I could think of for romantic comedies of the 50s - no joy there, either)

     Yes, the US term is a problem. That is why I used caravan. Google often finds things even in other languages, so US/UK should be possible, too.

     It has been an awfully long time since I saw the clip, but I think it sort of looked like this type:

     @HistoPol Hmm. What do you remember about the make of the caravan/trailer? (Complicating the search, obviously, is that the term used in the US is "trailer", which makes it hard to search for a movie about a "trailer", because Google wants to show you trailers for movies, not trailers that you hook up to your truck or whatever...)

     Was it Airstream-looking, or more like a trolley car?
