to begin with and i really love lucy . her tv show still make me laugh . she be one of the great comedian who ever live and right up there with chaplin and keaton . but and her performance in this movie be disappoint . she be too old and and the gauze filter on the lens make her look like a london fog refugee . she couldn not sing and and her voice be so froggy that she croak through every song . her dancing day be long in the past . just because you be a lucy fan and do not gloss over this mistaken and sad performance and sing it praise . i prefer to remember lucy in her wonderful tv series ( i love lucy ) and to draw the curtain of charity over the terrible mess of a movie call mame .
