Extremely inaccurate moviel


There was no Desilu Ranch in the San Fernando valley as depicted in the movie scene, tha party where the spaghetti pot's bottom falls out. The ArnAZ, not ArnEz couple did not move to their SFV ranch until the late 40's, maybe early 50s after they were married for the second time. There are so many other blatant historical errors as mentioned in other threads. One shopuld read Desi's autobiography, The Book to get the real deal and see the real photos. My family is from Santiago de Cuba where Desiderio's(Desi) father was the mayor, my parents knew the family who are related to another legendary family from Santiago, the Bacardi rum makers, a Cuba company not Puerto Rican as most think

About the piece of caca movie, as Cubans say, "tremenda mierda"

I'm sure there will be another Lucy bio in the future that shows more accuracies.

I caught just a bit of this over the weekend, barely five minutes, when Desi carried Lucy into the new house and the water pipe had broke, so he gets mad and destroys the house???
What was that?

I haven't researched the couple, but I'm a fan of the show and of both of them, especially her, obviously, and never had I heard of him just losing control like that in front of so many witnesses at a party???

Lucy would never have stood for that behavior.

Even the description here calls him Desiderio 'Desi' Ricky. Ricky was in no way part of his name. His last name was Arnaz.

The Frances Fisher-Maurice Bernard movie wasn't good, but this thing looked totally made up.

The pipes bursting and Desi losing his temper actually did occur. It's written about in several books.

This film did shift the timeline of events, though. Lucy and Desi moved into that house in 1954, not close to 1960 as depicted here.

Why would she remarry someone who had treated her so badly?

reply

They were never married twice.


They got married in 1940, but they decided to get married again in a church in 1949 since Desi's mother suggested they get married in a church..

Don't play games with a girl who can play better.
