Watch Trailer For Amy Poehler’s Lucy And Desi Documentary

At one time Lucile Ball and Desi Arnaz were the ultimate Hollywood A-List couple. Everyone loved them, authorities sometimes loathed them. Amy Poehler’s documentary Lucy And Desi is coming to Amazon Prime Video next month, tonight they release the film’s official Trailer, that promises to ‘tell all’…In the name of love and business!!!

The film premiered at last month’s Sundance Film Festival with some great reviews. You could say a lot more positive than Becoming The Ricardos (starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem), despite it’s Oscar nominations.

The film promises to dive into that relationship the pair had on and off the screen. Their global stardom all thanks to I Love Lucy, Ball of course an already established comedic actress, ironically so is Poehler.

From director Amy Poehler, Lucy and Desi explores the unlikely partnership and enduring legacy of one of the most prolific power couples in entertainment history. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz risked everything to be together. Their love for each other led to the most influential show in the history of television, I Love Lucy. Desi—an immigrant from Cuba who lost everything in exile, became a band leader, and eventually a brilliant producer and technical pioneer. Lucille came from nothing and, with an unrivaled work ethic, built a career as a model, chorus girl, and eventually as an actor in the studio system. She found her calling in comedy, first in radio. When Lucille was finally granted the opportunity to have her own television show, she insisted that her real-life spouse, Desi, be cast as her husband. Defying the odds, they re-invented the medium, on the screen and behind the cameras. The foundation of I Love Lucy was the constant rupture and repair of unconditional love. What Lucy and Desi couldn’t make work with each other, they gave to the rest of the world. Lucy and Desi is an insightful and intimate peek behind the curtain of these two remarkable trailblazers—featuring interviews with Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill, Norman Lear, Desi Arnaz Jr., Carol Burnett, and Bette Midler.

The film features Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill, Bette Midler, Carol Burnett, Laura LaPlaca, Eduardo Machado, Charo, Journey Gunderson, Gregg Oppenheimer, David Daniels, Norman Lear, Desi Arnaz Jr.

Lucy And Desi will premiere on Prime Video from 4th March.
