[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 318460, member: 5079"] The new documentary, LUCY AND DESI on Amazon Prime, is a solid recounting of that famous relationship. There's really no new information here, although it's been interesting to watch Lucie Arnaz's evolving perspective of her parent's failings; she's become much more forgiving and understanding of their own pain as she's gotten older. The documentary is a bit of an overly romanticized view of that rather toxic pairing, but it does address both of their personality defects. The most interesting aspect for me was so much previously unseen footage: home movies, screen tests, backstage film. I've seen a few small clips of behind-the-scenes of I LOVE LUCY but watching Lucille and Desi dressed as Lucy and Ricky on the set but stepping out as themselves felt almost surreal.
