5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Honest and Revealing
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022
Verified Purchase
Like so many baby boomers, I recall the I Love Lucy show in its heyday. Who on earth could not love Lucy? Her character, Lucy Ricardo, was an attractive and virtuous high-energy housewife who always wanted to do the right thing but often got in over her head. She and husband, Desi, played off of each other seamlessly along with Fred and Ethel.

I had no idea that this series was created in an effort to save their marriage until I viewed this documentary. The kids, Lucile and Desi Jr., did a wonderful job in providing a larger panoramic view of the lives of their celebrity parents--from birth to death. And they did so respectively. I found myself being emotionally impacted during a number of scenes.

Actually, there are a number of life lessons that can be learned from this documentary. It begs the question: What good is success if it robs you of your first love?

So well done. She was beautiful and he was oh so handsome! The home movies are so nice to see as people don't do them any more and they are a lasting legacy of the times and people. Thank you for sharing this with us Lucie and Desi and Lucy and Desi. Both so talented and gone way too soon.
Back in those days people worked like crazy to make ends meet or get what they wanted. My 86 yr old mother is still that way and still working. Oddly, my sister married a 1st gen Cuban and his parents also fled Castro long ago and some are still in prison there. He's a funny, talented man too.
Again, much respect to the family for sharing their treasures with the public. There will never be a time like those again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Love Story of All Time

I have been a Lucy and Desi fan since I first discovered it. This movie brought me to tears because I knew they always loved each other no matter what! I don't care what anyone says. I was in Hollywood in 1985 & 1986. I rode by their house and her car was in the driveway. I was going to knock on the door but since an officer was driving toward me I kept going. The second year I lost my nerve. I still feel guilt to this day. I let the opportunity of a lifetime go by! I can just imagine her opening the door and me passing out! I know her doorbell rang many times a day and she was always a lady and opened the door. I think she was pretty lonely.
All her tapes are fantastic. Go look buy! On Amazon of course. Where else would you go for a good deal??
Desi was incessantly multi talented and hard working and Lucy was extremely funny and so talented. They were two people in love who were raised differently but loved each other for always. Desi was so handsome and I still have a crush when I see him on my DVDs or TV.
I also want to commend Lucie and Desi Jr. for talking candidly and keeping it together while talking about their famous parents. I have every book and DVD and I watch them every morning from the East coast from 5-9 every morning.
God Bless Lucie and Desi Jr.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT LUCILLE BALL-DESI ARNAZ DOCUMENTARY BY DAUGHTER LUCIE
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2011
Verified Purchase
LUCY AND DESI: A HOME MOVIE is an intimate documentary on American tv's (still) most famous couple, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz that was produced by their daughter Lucie Arnaz and her husband Laurence Luckinbill. This is a two-hour documentary (originally aired on NBC-TV in the mid 1990's) on their lives, careers, and bittersweet love story. Many of the duo's relatives, friends and associates are interviewed (some of them famous, such as Ann Miller, Van Johnson, Bob Hope, Gale Gordon, and Jackie Cooper) but the undeniable highlight is clips from Lucy and Desi's personal home movie collections over the decades, including ones as early as the early 1940's and in color no less!! This dvd is essential for any I LOVE LUCY fan and won a well-deserved Emmy. Lucie Arnaz discusses her parents thoroughout the film (her younger brother, Desi Arnaz Jr., somewhat less so) and at times the film seems harder on her mother than her father (Lucie recalls several rather unflattering memories of Lucy but what is negative about Desi is not coming from her lips). As she notes, nobody (well, hardly anybody) has a "Father Knows Best" sugar-coated existance. I enjoyed the documentary and there are many touching moments (again most of this the candid film footage, including the closing moments of Lucy and Desi reunited in the swimming pool with Lucie's firstborn baby in the 1980's). One thing I would have liked would have been for the dvd's "bonus features" to have included additional footage from the home movies, instead we get interview comments that didn't make it into the final edit of the show still every Lucy fan/collector should own a copy of this dvd to go along with their series' season sets and movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010

This DVD is a nostalgic peek inside the lives of these incredibly talented people, and is a must have for the fan. It illustrates how poignant their lives were, and the price they paid for making American television history. This could make one cry, and really is a home movie with narration, interviews, and bonuses.

I give the content of this DVD 5 stars, however, I give the sound 3 stars. The sound is contrasty on some of the interviews only, but I'm not sure that it is the fault of the production or the lack of vocal projection of the interviewee. Words came through enough to get the gist of what was being communicated, but some words of the sentences were muffled, and I found myself backtracking in spots, turning the volume up to hear what was said. This could be related to the Samsung blu-ray player I used, so don't let this stop you from getting this wonderful DVD. I've noticed some of my blu-ray discs do the same thing. I didn't have this problem with the sound on the I Love Lucy complete series, of which I just finished a five week marathon before watching this DVD.

The images are fantastic, and the 5 bonus Westinghouse promotions they hosted are a phenomenal trip into that era. The two bonus game show appearances they made are not just cuts, but the full episodes of What's My Line, and I've Got A Secret. Why these weren't included on the complete series DVDs, I'll never know. Just get this DVD if you Love Lucy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy and Desi: Home Movies on DVD is an excellent film to have in one's collection!
Reviewed in Canada on January 9, 2014

If you have never seen this film on PBS or other cable networks, "Lucy and Desi, Home Movies" is a wonderful well documented film about this famous television couple. Produced mainly by Lucie Arnaz, she has recaptured many interviews with some of- Hollywood's leading personalities of the 40-50's and the golden age of television and the movies. Arnaz's research and work has uncovered new stories or events from the "Lucy and Desi years". Especially the bonus materials on the DVD that give further incite into this famous Hollywood couple and their eventual demise! Perfect collection for that "I Love Lucy" fan that wants to know more about Lucy and Desi. Recommend this DVD!
