Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie (1993 TV Movie)
7/10
More about Lucie than about Lucy
31 December 2021
Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie (1993 TV Movie) starred Lucie Arnaz as "host." From context, Lucie had come across home movies of her mother and father, which gave her the foundation on which to produce this movie. Actually, the home movies aren't that fascinating, but some of the recollections about Lucy and Desi are interesting if you're a Lucy fan.

The film contains interviews with people like Desi Arnaz Jr, Jackie Cooper, Gale Gordon, Bob Hope, Van Johnson and Ann Miller.

Producer Arnaz rounds out the movie with clips from the many talk shows on which Lucy and Desi appeared. (Not together, but separately.)

If you are a true Lucille Ball fan, you should see this movie. If not a true fan, I would pass it up. I'm in the minority about the film, because it has an extremely high 8.4 IMDb rating. I thought it was just OK, and rated it 7.
