Lucy is timeless - first saw I❤Lucy in 1951. Now in 2022 rewatching all seasons of ILL and loving it!!!

Yes! A gloriously wonderful physical comedian. What pleasure she brought to the world. God bless her❣

I'm not saying this is you but it's easy for most people to not realize that Lucy was a a young beautiful woman in many early pictures

I remember that "May God bless" vividly.

@@miriambertram2448 ….She really was beautiful in her early films. She was 40 when I Love Lucy began, and still a very pretty actress.

She was all around, beautiful, hard worker loved her profession and did it spectacularly like no other. an American Icon.

The movie was DuBarry Was a Lady!!!

Yes I remember when they sang it.

This is probably where Lucy got the idea from to do it on I Love Lucy

Vivian

​@@garycarpenter6433that's Virginia O'Brien not Vivian Vance

That doesn‘t include singing!

@@andreas7136 Actually she did some singing in her movies (Dance, Girl, Dance) and Breezing Along with the Breeze, in Long, Long Trailer. (very clearly her voice which was okay, not bad.)

There was nothing wrong with her singing.

Much thanks for the line up. Getting older and I can’t always remember the names like I used to do. Virginia’s was driving me crazy. Also, I can’t remember seeing such a young version of Red! It took was shocking when i finally recognized him! I know a lady who moved here (NC) from California. I was at here house and she had a small framed painting of a clown AND it was signed Red Skelton. I asked where she got it, because I wanted one. Turns out that it was an original painting by Red. It was a gift. He was their neighbor and their families were close friends. Funny coincidence is my friend’s hair is redder than his and more like Lucille’s color. Sorry, I can babble!

You are welcome.

The movie Lucy and Maureen O'Hara starred in together "Dance, Girl, Dance" really wonderful movie and Lucy did all her own singing and dancing in it. In fact, Lucy always said that Maureen O'Hara was perfect. While I like O'Hara in this movie, Lucille Ball was The Star - could not take my eyes off her - she was great as "Bubbles".

perpetual61 Thank you.

Lucille Ball's greatest hit.

@@renarga6886 Actually thought her greatest was Hey Look Me Over from Wildcat

Dance, Girl, Dance (also she was a dancer in early Hollywood) Loved watching her do the Charleston with her daughter and Ginger Rogers in Here's Lucy. Actually I felt that Lucy was the best of the 3 - something about her movements and pizazz. Again when she was clowning around and dancing with Wayne Newton, Lucie Arnaz, while her son Desi Jr played the drums - again I watched her movements the most - she had something about her that was riveting.

Thanks for listening!

Yer welcome

Red Skelton And Lucille Ball And Gene Kelly Are One Of My Favorites And Grandpas Favorites And Papas Favorites And Mommys Favorites And Korts And Uncle Johnnys Favorites

What film is this? I just discovered this.

@@dclome Du Barry Was a Lady

Yea that Cole Porter wrote a dilly with this one! 😁

You can find this as the ending of the 1944 film “Du Barry Was A Lady”. The only actual song in the film where Lucy’s real singing voice is heard instead of dubbed by someone else, too.

Gene Kelly is my love!

Charlene McClintock Plus the beautiful Virginia O’Brian.

@@southerncatholicgal5548 and a ever stiff Tommy Dorsey

Thanks for watching.

I grew up in the 1940s. These folks were in both radio and movies. We loved their talents..

Thanks

Actually Red Skelton was one of the first people to recognize Lucy's comedic talent. He was the one that told her MGM did her a favor by letting her go because Louis B Mayer never understood clowns. He also was her mentor and helped teach her many of the things comedy requires as comedy was still, at that time, a male dominated art.

@@retroguy9494 which makes Red's appearance in The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour all the more fitting

@@SuperWolsey VERY true! And from what I have read, Lucy and Red had a lot of fun doing that episode.

@@retroguy9494 also Buster Keaton taught her the value of props

@@LJ-ht4zs Yes, that's 100% true. Supposedly, Keaton told her 'always know your props.' Meaning know them inside and out before you work with them. I think she could have had no better teacher then him for props. I mean, this is a guy who used to let entire sides of houses fall on him in his movies and his body would fit through the door and he would come out unscathed. You really need to know your props for a dangerous stunt like that.

Alex S what movie is it

Du Barry Was A Lady - 1943

So did Lucy! LOL

Long long ago I met Red and yes, he was tall but more importantly he was very gracious.

Red was 6'2", Lucy was 5'7" (without heels), Gene's height was reported to be anywhere from 5'7" to 5'9", Virginia O'Brien was 5'8". The ladies' pompadours added to their stature.

It is said that he was 5'7"which was Lucille Ball's height - but he looked shorter. (both had heels)

LMAO 😆

Plus Polly Parker's Perfect Pickles. Ha, ha, ha!.... Here's Lucy ref

That's From The Musical Anything Goes

Tommy Vermiglio Wrong. It was written for the show Du Barry Was a Lady with Ethel Merman and Burt Lahr. It was interpolated in the revival of Anything Goes.

You are welcome.

#bottlegingerpride ;)

Greg Berlanti: "Did someone say erase the reds?"

Maybe 3 Pigskins?

Which TV show?

@@RoverBoy1899 I assume I Love Lucy. Yes, about 11 years before.

She's not going to show up for another 10 years or so.

@@hebneh Yea but remember "Ethel Mae Potter we never forgot her!" 😁

Ethel wasn't born yet

@@avifalco This movie was in 1943; Ethel born 1909

Lucy is great in Mame. Shame on you. It is a far better film than Dubarry.

@@RoverBoy1899 So very sorry you feel this way. Please do a Google search and read the many critics who panned her performance. In any case using such language as shame on you is a bit much don’t you agree, especially when I am quoting a critic who said that she maimed the film.

@@javitchassociates1377 I don't need to listen to critics or Google anything. I own the movie and have seen it many times. It's a great movie with fantastic songs. Is Lucille Ball the greatest singer? No. But she still does a great job performing the songs without the help if autotune. As for her acting, she is a joy to watch, and she gives, in my opinion, a far superior and more grounded portrayal than Rosalind Russell.

@@javitchassociates1377 Some folks liked Mame some did not. Also, panned was Forever Darling, which I liked a lot.

I loved Lucille Ball in Mame

Not Lucy's. Her voice was usually dubbed in her movies and often on her TV show, but this scene is one of the rare occasions when it wasn't.

You can tell it is her voice.

You are wrong,.. sorry.

@@MrVidaeverdade Lucy did all of her own singing on I Love Lucy and most of The Lucy Show. She was dubbed a few times on Here's Lucy.

Her voice was not dubbed in this number
