I thought I had heard all about Lucy and Desi that I was going to hear, but this was a game changer. This was a completely new view of Lucy. Others seems to like Nicole Kidman. I thought she brought out the soul of Lucille more than others in the past have. I don't think she looked like her though. I felt Javier Bardem was wonderful and Ricky. They could have done a better job with his makeup however. When I Love Lucy was shot, he had quite a baby face and was quite young. He was younger than Lucy and yet she showed as a much younger face.
The other thing that bothered me was the apartment set. Prior to giving birth to Little Ricky, there was no window in the back of the set. There was just a piano there. After the baby was born, the Ricardo's needed a larger apartment so they moved into one with the window.
I always hate when they have thunder storms in Los Angeles. LA has very little heavy rain and absolutely no thunder storms. I know why movies do this. It makes the storm seem worse.
All in all, well worth the afternoon for a long movie. You can really tell what it was like to make TV shows in the 1950s.
