STAR OF THE MONTH: LUCILLE BALL: “LUCY AND DESI” & “OTHER ONSCREEN BEAUS”

beginning at 8 p.m. Catch a Classic! The first film in tonight’s lineup of Lucille Ball films, the 1940 musical comedy Too Many Girls, features Ball in the lead and is based on the 1939 stage musical by George Marion Jr., Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. The production also features the first big-screen acting and singing performance of Cuban American actor/musician Desiderio Alberto Arnaz y de Acha III — better known as Desi Arnaz. Arnaz’s role in the movie may have been minor, but his involvement in the production led to a legendary real-life pairing — over the course of filming, he and Ball fell in love and ended up eloping not long after its release. The duo remained married for about 20 years, during which time they became one of the most impactful show business couples of all time as they pioneered the TV sitcom with I

Love Lucy and founded their own powerhouse independent television production company, Desilu Productions, which existed from 1950-68. While most people primarily associate Lucy and Desi’s onscreen pairings with their memorable teaming on “Love Lucy,” they also made a few more films together beyond :Too Many Girls,” and these also air: the 1954 road comedy “The Long, Long Trailer” and “Forever, Darling,” a 1956 fantasy romantic comedy. Following these titles, the Lucy lineup continues well into tomorrow afternoon with seven other film comedies from the late 1930s and ’40s featuring Ball as part of fictional onscreen romantic couples with other actors.
