If you can’t say something nice…. Save your negative comments for the director and producer. Very low class to put Lucy on the spot like that. Love ❤ Lucy!
It’s 2024, and I observe that these college kids look so much younger, innocent, wide-eyed, eager, and respectful than the ones of today. I would say the decline of tv had a lot to do with the decline in the younger generation. And it’s only getting worse.
The pioneers of television as we know it today most of the credit should go to Desi Arnaz as well as his then wife Lucy Vivian Vance William Frawley Lucille Ball of course is the legend we have all learned to love and enthusiastically enjoy
You know I've seen this video a couple of times. But I was thinking about it...she knew this would be televised... It's her subtle way of saying watch out for the wolves.
I need to correct you: She was and IS a legend of the Planet… Not just USA. It is vulgar to suggest that the USA only saw her skills: Movies from the 30’s played internationally; Her t.v. Shows played in over 40 countries, etc. You cannot claim her for your own.
Who ever posted this great find, do yourself a favor and delete all stupid & negative comments. Don't give them the time of day. Obivsoluly they are not fans, just bored and luv to RANT MANURE 🙄😏
Very interesting segment. Lucy had a very precise & technical mind and is clearly in charge. Quite a feat for a woman in those days. Interesting how each & every detail is carefully staged and planned. She made it look so effortlessly on film.
I can't believe how structured she is. She knows everything that is going on, never makes anyone feel low for their opinions, and listens. Plus, for a person of her time, skin color meant nothing to Lucy, she loved you no matter, as long as you were a decent human being. Thanks for this video, nicely done/
Lucille Ball. Jack Benny. Sammy! Gale Gordon. Lucie Arnaz. Desi Jr. Desi Sr.! Talent. Incredible talent. Lucy wqs hands-on with her show, rehearsing those spots. This is amazing historical film footage. Thanks for sharing it.
All I know is that legends in entertainment that came before, her and after, that were bigger than her arrogant arse, could not stand her, including her own kids.
Isn't it a stunning fact, that for the #1 most watched comic artist ever on television, we have about 13 minutes total footage of her rehearsing and working? I wish that whoever filmed this, had stayed with her for a full day. The promos she did for the Lucy Desi show, are not documentary. This is. Doesn't anybody else know of any footage of this great woman actually working, besides this? I don't.
Lucy’s later shows run on 90% nostalgia. I love Lucy (no pun intended) but she really should’ve retired. The times not only changed…but so did the delicate chemistry, the Cuban husband and Fred and Ethyl…all gone. Her glorious early days could not be matched anymore…but like Ali…perhaps she just needed the money? Sad to see this stuff passing as comedy!
@@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg - I think she was very talented and funny, her “I love Lucy” reruns prove it. Everything after diminished her legacy. Why wouldn’t I want to see a documentary showing WHY and HOW?
Lucy had decades of experience to hone her craft, and it shows here. I like the fact that she still used live music for the shows. For all that effort, I just wish the story lines and scripts had been better, like Maude, which used some of Lucy's original writers - Schiller and Weiskopf.
