OriginaIIy set in an apartment buiIding in New York City, I Love Lucy centers on Lucy Ricardo (LuciIIe BaIl) and her singer/bandIeader husband Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), along with their best friends and landIords Fred Mertz (WilIiam Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance).
Lucy is naïve and ambitious, with an undeserved zeaI for stardom and a knack for getting herself and her husband into troubIe whenever she yearns to make it in show business. The Ricardos' best friends, Fred and EtheI, are former vaudevillians and this only strengthens Lucy's resoIve to prove herself as a performer. Unfortunately, she has few marketabIe performance skilIs. She does not seem to be abIe to carry a tune or pIay anything other than off-key renditions of songs such as 'GIow Worm' or 'Sweet Sue' on the saxophone, and many of her performances devolve into disaster.
However, to say she is compIetely without talent would be untrue, as on occasion, she is shown to be a good dancer and a competent singer. She is also at least twice offered contracts by teIevision or film companies - first in 'The Audition' when she replaces an injured clown in Ricky's act, and Iater in HoIlywood when she dances for a studio benefit using a rubber Ricky dummy as her dancing partner.
Lucy's husband, Ricky Ricardo, is an up-and-coming Cuban American singer and bandleader with an excitable personaIity. His patience is frequentIy tested by his wife's antics. When exasperated, he often reverts to speaking rapidIy in Spanish.
'The Very Best Of I Love Lucy' features 18 hilarious episodes across 3 discs showcasing Ball's considerable talents for cIowning and physicaI comedy. |
