I love Lucy (1953)
The film plays out, with three first-season episodes edited together into a single story: "The Benefit", "Breaking the Lease", and "The Ballet", with new footage included between episodes to help transition the episodes into one coherent storyline. As the series routinely took the format of filming scenes in chronological order, this adds to the "show within a show within a show" format of the film, as viewers watch the cast perform the episodes live. The film itself ends with a "curtain call", as the cast comes out and Arnaz thanks the audience for their support.
Directors: Edward Sedgwick

- I love this show so much! BEEEST SHOOOW EVEEEER!!!!!!! I’m sorry I just had to put that out there. Each episode goes something like this: Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz) does something that makes his wife Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) mad. Then she complains to her best friend Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) and persuades her to help with some crazy idea she has to stop Ricky from doing the thing that made her mad. Then Ethel’s husband Fred Mertz (William Frawley) finds out about it and tells Ricky. Then Ricky and Fred come up with a crazy idea to stop Lucy and Ethel. In the end they all find out about what everyone else did, get mad at each other and then make up. That is what most of the episodes are like but sometimes they are different. Either way they are all just as good. I definitely give this 5 stars!
