Title: If Life is a Banquet, Lucy's been at the Table too Long!
Review: Premise: Lucy Ricardo asks Ricky if she can be in his show, and after many, many, looong years of her begging, he says yes. And this is the result. Sad for Lucy fans, it's the car accident phenomenon: you hate to look, but you can't help it. Get this video for the pure horror! There's enough gauze and Vaseline on the camera lens in her close-ups, it looks like she should break out singing "A Foggy Day in London Town". Argh! Oh, the horror! This should be in everyone's video library, next to their copy of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?", except it should be titled, "Whatever Happened to Lucy Ricardo?"!I understand the musical (with Jerry Herman's wonderful score--and the bitchy "Bosom Buddies" number is fantastic!) is being redone with Cher--yes, CHER!--as MAME. CHER is MAME! Now that's gonna be something worth seeing!
