Synopsis

Cuban Bandleader Ricky Ricardo would be happy if his wife Lucy would just be a housewife. Instead she tries constantly to perform at the Tropicana where he works, and make life comically frantic in the apartment building they share with landlords Fred and Ethel Mertz, who also happen to be their best friends.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
angelacere I've watched the show since I was in kindergarten. It never crossed my mind that it's black and white. It is the best show. It's got so much history. Lucy was the reason I got into comedy. She's an inspiration. Desi is an inspiration for me as well. It never gets old. It'll never go away and we're not gonna let it.
Fuzzy Wuzzy To date, I have now seen every single episode from all 6 seasons of the "I Love Lucy" TV show from the 1950s. And, by far, I rate Season 4 as being the absolute best season of them all.In fact, I'd quite confidently say that when it came to the show's superiority in the realm of its hilarious scriptwriting, Season 4 was, without question, the ultimate peak of Sit-Com perfection.It was especially when the Ricardos and the Mertzes arrived in Hollywood, USA that this show's scriptwriters proved themselves to be at the absolute pinnacle of their craft by creating incomparably uproarious situations for Lucille Ball and her fellow cast members to indulge themselves in.This review of mine is my respectful tribute to writers Bob Carroll Jr., Madelyn Pugh, and Jess Oppenheimer who, as a team, surely must have worked like fiends behind the scenes as they wrote one memorable episode of priceless, 1950's comedy after another.I would also like to take this moment to salute and pay honour to director William Asher who was the one responsible for knowing exactly how to handle the script-material given to him and then mould the actors perfectly into the characters which they inevitably became. Even today, 60 years later, the "I Love Lucy" show still remains, on all levels, one of the most unique and unforgettable programs in all of television history, bar none.
aznfratboy1 The best ever, I Love Lucy is the original sitcom. The one that came before every other sitcom. It was simple, no sex, no violence, nothing like that, just a woman who wants to become the best she potentially can, but in the process realising that she probably cannot, but going through hilarious adventures trying to, and that's what viewers ultimately watch.Today we have Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men etc etc, and as good as they are, they are not SITUATIONAL comedies, they are merely a bunch of guys throwing insults and making dirty jokes to each other, and as much as I like them, nothing can top the quality and the golden standard I Love Lucy set WAY back in the 1950's.There simply will never be a TV show that will ever top this one...
Sterling Levy In "L.A. At Last!," when the Ricardos and Mertzes arrive in California, they are supposed to be pulling right in to the driveway of the fictional Beverly Palms Hotel. But their car is shown driving into the then real Beverly Carlton on West Olympic Boulevard. The "Beverly Carlton" sign and Canon Drive street sign are visible upon careful viewing.This hotel is now the Avalon, and the internal set scenes from the Hollywood episodes are fairly consistent with the Avalon, even today, with balconies overlooking a curved pool. However, the Hollywood back drop, added to the longer view in the internal set scenes as mentioned here under "trivia," would not have been accurate, since the Beverly Carlton was about six miles to the southeast.
