Here’s Lucy! And Desi!

With the new documentary Lucy and Desi (March 4 on Amazon Prime Video), Amy Poehler makes her directorial debut exploring the professional and personal relationship of sitcom icons Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. “We wanted to shape the film through the lens of their love story,” says Poehler, who used home recordings, intimate interviews (Carol Burnett! Bette Midler!) and access to rare archival footage to illustrate a relationship as inspiring as the body of work it produced. Here’s more from Poehler about the beloved I Love Lucy stars. —Megan O’Neill Melle
