Lucy and Desi on FreeVee - This is excellent!!! (Directed by Amy Poehler)
There have been numerous made for TV movies about Lucy and Desi, but this is nothing like them. It popped up on the FreeVee app
It's nothing like the tabloid films that have been made about them. Starts with family background of Desi and Lucy, early careers. Then it gets into the fascinating production history of their show. The technical aspects of their series was ground breaking.
Amy has access to archives, audiotapes and has full cooperation with her daughter, Lucie. I was fascinated with how they created the show I Love Lucy

Director Amy Poehler had full access to the estates of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, overseen by their daughter Lucie Arnaz Luckinbill, to use pictures, videos, and sound.

The movie Being the Ricardos was also very good.
