WOW the movie last night was FANTASTIC! i was really impressed by the way they showed the episodes of the chocolate factory,the stomping on the grapes and many more and they showed every single shot of it.. they did a fantastic job.. it was really sad.. their lives were so difficult and sad.. . i feel so bad for them.. A+ what did everybody else think?

I was constantly torn between HORRIBLE and FANTASTIC, some parts were great, the acting was great, the errors in the piece were terrible though, especially in the last hour, the times were wrong by years in some cases.

I agree. And it seemed kind of rushed at the end too, you can't put Lucy's whole life in Hollywood up until she divorces Desi in just 3 hours. It didn't seem like it was on that long at all.

I know! They were saying that the Grapes episode was 1958...that's so wrong.

LMAO.. I betcha the movie would have been shorter, if they didnt play all those damn commercials in between!!

I didn't like it that much. It was alright. I have my reasons, but I KNEW that there was no way in 1958 The grape episode aired. that was WAY off

Yeah and also they said that Desi bought RKO Radio Studios in 1958 when he brought the studio in i think was 1952 -1954. I wanna say 53? But it was somthing close! Oh well besides the dates i thought the movie was great, I thought the ending was tastfully done with them hold arm and arm and walking of the set into the dark! What I thought they should had done was do a 2 parter like the Judy Garland Movie ABC aired! That would had been much better!

The acting was great, but the script sucked.

No, Lucy and Desi bought RKO in 1958.

SPLAIN · 05-06-2003, 10:43 AM

He was buying it or at least in discussions to make the purchase while they were filming the Tallulah Bankhead episode of The Lucy Desi comedy hour, the movie had him talking to Lucy about it during the RED scare, which was so stupid. Glaring errors like that drive us real fans nuts! Trust me, there were dozens of worse ones too!

I agree, I thought she was one of the best actresses out there to play Lucille Ball, I thought they had many similarities and features between them, you just can't expect anybody to portray Lucy, and she was the best at it.

Frances Fisher looks a lot like Lucy(she played her in the 1991 TV movie with basically the same plot).
