the story of a driven and ambitious and will succeed at any cost and climb over the body of all my friend hack entertainer while and her mambo singing and conga drummer playboy lounge entertainer boyfriend . yes and lucy be the kind of 1930s woman who would have succeed even if she have to sell her soul to the devil . apparently her marriage to desi arnaz may have be the down payment on the price she have to pay for her success . ricky be the kind of latin salsa act that use to be in any smoky latin lounge in any part of the world . perhaps desi set the standard . perhaps because desi arnaz be the only cuban in hollywood ( he seem like a third string talent compare to that era cesar romero and ricardo montalban ) . do he have an edge when lucy get the hots for a hispanic . desi arnaz certainly think he be hot tamale . i always think he look like a typical waiter at a spanish restaurant and but then maybe those be the kind of guy woman want back in the 1930s . u wan steenk in pit ate toe . u wan see me play thee maraca . lucy see some guy who can barely ask for direction to the bathroom while and she listen to his mambo music which she have never hear and do not like while and then she fall in love . sure and she know the guy be a blatant playboy and heavy drinker while but so what . he know how to make espresso cafe in the morning . i always think lucy and desi be like a puzzle that do not fit and and they also think so too while a they have a terrible divorce and then miserable life afterwards . sort of like romeo and juliet if they have be allow to get marry in spite of their different background . nobody can defend these dead star and so we just have the book and the movie and tv special for reference . lucy and desi represent before the laughter be depress because these two people seem to be destine for a life of happiness . they have so much success that they should have be very happy people and but their ego destroy their love . without each other they be both very miserable unhappy people . even though i be not a major fan of either star and i find the movie to be sad because i never realize just how bright their early career have be and and how much they have go for them when they become so popular with the i love lucy show . have see them on television in their late year and it be sad to remember that those sad old folk have once be such young and vibrant and and happy people .
