Story
Love, Lucy is the valentine Lucille Ball left for her fans—a warm, wise, and witty memoir written by Lucy herself. The legendary star of the classic sitcom I Love Lucy was at the pinnacle of her success when she sat down to record the story of her life. No comedienne had made America laugh so hard, no television actress had made the leap from radio and B movies to become one of the world’s best-loved performers. This is her story—in her own words.

Great except for ...
Disproportionately, very loud orchestra music, ads, audience laughing & clapping are an unfortunate distraction amidst great performances, especially by Cary Grant. Surely these could be digitally adjusted to the same volume as the actors?

Radio Goodness During the Golden Age of Cinema
Cary Grant reprises his classic role in a shortened script version of the film and an insight into the radio of the time with added commercials and a celebrity endorsement by the man of the hour. If you enjoyed the film this is a nice touch. If you havent seen the film, watch that, the script was originally designed for a star from the golden age of cinema and its limited without the classic visual gags and Grant's slick acrobatics and facial expressions. I listened to it while renovating an old house. I loved it.
