I was going through my tape collection and saw I had this tape and thought I'd post about it. This movie is HORRIBLE!!!!! It isn't even accurate. There is this scene where Lucy is getting for her remarriage to Desi and she's showing her dress to her grandfather. This was 1949. Her grandfather died in 1944. Excuse me!!!! Man this movie sucks. Lucie Arnaz thought it sucked and said so many times, and she was right!

I've seen it on Encore Love Stories before, so if you have that and it comes on, steer clear unless you enjoy watching bad movies.

Hmm. So it was. But they were for hairstyling and costume design. Those I would agree with. Other than that, it was a bad movie.

Yes,it was a very poor way to show our beloved couple. Lucie(Lucy and Desi's daughter) even said it was not the real story
and tried desperatly to keep it from the screen but didn't succeed. Lucy and Desi were
better than that and even their kids knew it.
