  I can’t but help watch it over and over again. It’s not overly sentimental, but by the end you will have tears in your eyes.

  I really enjoyed watching this with my family. The only thing I didn’t care for was the quality of sound, sometimes it was too high or too low to hear, but that should have been edited when the company put it to DVD. Other than that, it was wonderful and very interesting. The bonus features were really fun to watch as well.

  The most interesting thing on this DVD, to me, is in the bonus features. There is a game show called ‘I’ve got a secret’ that Lucy is on. The show has a guest who has a secret and must answers questions from the celebrity panel. The guest whispers in the ear of the host the secret, to which they display on the screen(or something along the lines of): ‘witnessed the assassination of President Lincoln.’ This show was in the mid 1950’s and this man is in his late 90’s. He was 5 years old when he witnessed the assassination. After the panel had guessed who he is, the old man said that as a kid he was concerned about the guy who fell from the balcony. Obviously he did not know about the President being shot as John Wilkes Booth jumped from the balcony to escape!

  Oh yeah, the rest of the dvd, that has Lucy and Desi on it: Very good, very interesting. A lot of pictures and home videos and more than I thought it would be when I bought it. A lot of interviews from family members, including thier 2 kids who made this documentary, and celebrities(Lucy’s brother, neice & cousins are on here). There are a ton of bonus features: Lucy & Desi commercials for kitchen appliances that are not on the I Love Lucy or Lucy-Desi comedy hour DVDs), appearances on game shows, photo gallery, etc. The only real dissapointment for me was the often muddled sound of, well, EVERYTHING since its all so old. But I did not expect the documentary, made in the mid 1990’s, to sound that way. Unfortunately it does. It sounds like someone ran a VHS copy off and put it on the DVD with no effort to improve the sound. However, this DVD is worth buying. I was just expecting better sound since it is on a DVD.

  “Lucy & Desi: A Home Movie” radiates with an amount of caliber that I’ve never seen in a documentary. I believe Lucy and Desi’s children had very strong reasons for creating this documentary, and they dedicated their hearts, and their time into making a high-quality show.

  There have been many, many documentaries created that seem as though you’re reading a gossip column or tabloid magazine in the grocery store. The other documentaries made about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz have been, compared to this DVD, frankly–disappointing.

  This DVD is a gem.

  Since my “I Love Lucy” jones last month, I purchased about five (5) “Lucy” books and DVD’s. And out of all my purchases, the “Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie” DVD was the absolute best!

  It was full of real-life footage and gave me a voyeuristic peek into their private lives and what made them tick and click, which I was always curious about. Thus, it actually satisfied my entire appetite of nosiness. It is a must-have for your library, as it is really worth the money. A true keeper!
