So many inaccuracies, too many to list plus very important events left out. Thank you Lucie Arnaz for putting together the home movie special. As for any of the Lucy/Desi bio(?) movies, pure garbage.
@@chris-8092 Will you save me the time that I would have used for watching a movie for 2 hours it would be crap 😂 But I'm not understanding the comment regarding Nicole Kidman is she in this? I don't mean to be ignorant I'm just busy right now. Maybe you can shed some light as a fellow RUclipsr viewer.
Being the Ricardos was a 2021 biographical drama film starring Nicole Kidmam as Lucy and Javier Bardem as Desi. While both actors are and were great in other films, this too was a flop. Why? Because no actor can portray Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz properly. They had very unique qualities and their life together was very complicated. I would perhaps watch interviews about them by their daughter Lucie Arnaz to get a genuine insight about their relationship. Arnaz was credited with developing the multiple camera setup production style that is still used today.
This movie sucks. The film was shot in and around Auckland, New Zealand, and featured many New Zealand actors in supporting roles. This explains its quality and inaccuracies. Desi Arnaz tells the audience that the night's episode would be the final episode of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, but the show was not given this title until it entered syndication; during its original run, it was known as The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show. In addition, due to tensions on the set, the final season was taped without a studio audience. Harriett is a composite character based on several maids Lucille had over the years, and also takes the place of her cousin, Cleo Morgan. Lucille suffers only one miscarriage instead of three. Jess Oppenheimer is portrayed as being hired specifically to produce I Love Lucy, ignoring his involvement with My Favorite Husband beginning in 1948. Grape is shown as being a Jell-O flavor, when at the time only six flavors - strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime - existed in 1949. The I Love Lucy set omits the Ricardo's bedroom and has the first scene from "Lucy Thinks Ricky Is Trying to Murder Her" be the kitchen scene with Ethel. The second season Tropicana set is shown to be in use during production of the first season. The Ricardos' wall is painted light blue instead of pale pink. The "Pioneer Women" "13 cakes" conversation takes place in the living room set instead of the kitchen. The Ricardos' second apartment is not used; the film shows the first one as lasting the entire series. The revelation of Lucille's communist ties comes after the filming of season three's "Lucy is Envious", when in reality the news broke prior to the filming of the first episode that season, "The Girls Go Into Business". Lucy & Desi discuss buying RKO in 1953 during the red scare, when it did not hit the market until around 1957. The film shows Marc Daniels being the sole director, and Bob Carroll, Jr. and Madelyn Davis as the only writers. In reality, Daniels left after the first season, being replaced by William Asher, James Kern, and Jerry Thorpe. Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf joined the series in the fifth season, while Carroll, Jr. and Davis left after the first season of The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour. The Arnaz family is shown moving out of the ranch and onto Roxbury Drive in 1958, when actually they moved in 1954. "Lucy Meets the Moustache" was not filmed before a live audience in reality. The filming also occurred on March 2, 1960, not in February. The final scene of "Lucy Meets the Moustache" takes place in the Connecticut living room instead of Ernie Kovacs' hotel room. The Connecticut house is shortened, omitting a portion of the wall between the fireplace and the front door, plus the kitchen door. There is also no door or balcony at the top of the stairs. In addition, the location of the other side door is changed in order to consolidate the set.[2] The depiction of Ball and Arnaz holding hands at the end of the film would be unlikely given the animosity between the two at the time. Ball and Arnaz rekindled a friendship in the years following their divorce and remarriages.
@craig8357 You need to look up the meaning of rambling. Every word is written in perfect English. Every word is true. Get lost Karen. You didn't have to read it. Can you read? Who died and made you queen? You have the brain of the last raisin in the box.
Do you LOVE Lucy?
I watched it after reading the comments! I enjoyed watching, because just a little of Lucy was pleasing to me.
Thankyou xxx
Yes, very much
It was interesting to know how they helped television get started
Thanks for the honest sharing of this movie, you saved my time turning back from watching it.and spend the time on a better quality film.

@@craig8357 I rather enjoyed it. Very informative, rather than mindless rambling, as you suggest.
Lucy: Thank you 😊
and lucille's false eye lashes in this film are the wrong style
