    So sad Desi cheated on Lucy so many times and they broke up eventually. Lucy couldn't take his infidelity anymore. However they loved each other until the end of their lifes. Desis last words to lucy 2 days before his death where "I love you too, honey good luck with your show" so sad that her show was cancelled after 1 season and on top of that she suffered Desis death. They were a great couple. May they rest in peace and are finally together and happy. They will always be the best couple in comedy history.

    • @NAVEMAN3
      @NAVEMAN3 5 лет назад +22

      I remember seeing those home movies when they were older and you can tell they still very much love each other. To me, Desi was a victim of his parents, particularly his mother. Example: If Lucy got a Piat then his mother would force her son to get her a Lamborghini. He was raised in their toxic ways but you can tell in the end he really did love her so much.

Can you imagine Desi filming his sitcom, that he and his wife have complete creative control over, and suddenly someone hands him a note saying that and he proceeds to ask the extras sitting there, when his wife is obviously right there in front of him? That makes no sense. He would be like "what the hell? why are we going off script like this? How does the band know this song? How do I know the words to this song?"

      In reality, during this scene Desi Arnaz became emotional and kind of lost his cue, until the band memebers shouted "sing the baby song". He realized where he was and closed the scene by singing. They were actors, but this mirrored what was happening in their real lives and no other television show in history can duplicate this.

    So touching. Lucy cries because not only was she pregnant but because their marriage was on the rocks. Desi screwed up the words too. He was probably very nervous in this number. High-emotion, lovely scene.

    Censorship was ridiculous back then, they couldn't say the word Pregnant on TV then so they made just about every other metaphor for it. Of course it's amazing that the two did manage to make a baby because the Censors wouldn't let even a married couple be seen sleeping in the same bad, all their bedroom scenes showed Lucy and Ricky sleeping in twin beds with a bedtable between them

    Before the filming of this episode, that Lucy was already pregnant with her son. This marks the condition and was in the newspapers, that Lucille was pregnant. And again in the newspapers that around months later received her second borne into the world.
