Product Description:
The true, behind-the-scenes story of television's happiest couple, andHollywood's most tumultuous marriage.
Fifty years ago the magical union of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz enthralled American audiences who couldn't got enough of the fiery redhead or her sexy Cuban husband. But off camera the situation couldn't have been less comic, with backstage battles, oversized egos, drinking, philandering, and the demands of phenomenal success undermining what was once a storybook romance.
With exclusive access to family members (including daughter Lucie Arnaz) and rare photographs, Desilu is the first candid, inside account of a celebrated, complex, passionate, but ultimately tragic relationship -- as well as a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Desilu Studios, the Golden Age of Television's most powerful production empire.

Having been a big fan of "I Love Lucy" for so many years, I'm curious to learn more about the behind the scenes aspects of creating the show. For a long while, the standard for books like this was Bart Andrew's marvelous book I Love Lucy Book. Still hungry for more information, I bought this book, in which I hoped would expand the knowledge base of this show.
Unfortunately, I ended up disappointed with this somewhat dry recounting of the business practice of Desliu studios. While the ... Read More

I wanted to learn more about life with Lucy & Desi, but I felt this book was too detail oriented on the people that worked with them. There were some looks into their lives but I guess I wanted something else. This book was not the personal story I was looking for.

From the time I picked this book up I could not stop reading it. I learnt so much new information about Lucy and Desi as a couple and a business partnership that as far as I am concerned will never be beaten.
As you delve deeper into the book you learn more about their private lives and how difficult it must have been for them both to go into work each day and do their jobs as only they knew how.
It is had to write review without giving anythin' away but anyone who is a true Lucy and Desi ... Read More

And to think that all this time, I have admired Lucille Ball, when it was Desi who was the brains and the business master of their production companay. And Desi was liked by most who knew him, wheras Lucy was aloof. Even though the book points out that Desi Arnz was a drunk and a womanizer, I think that I would have rather met him than the domineering, silent and spoiled Lucille Ball. The book just went into soooo much detail about the business end of Desilu Productions and how each of the 4 main characters ... Read More

For anyone considering a career in television, this is a must read.
You will then understand the roots of modern television technique.
This is a great book to better view the television industry up close, and through the lives of two of the best known television personalities of all time. Plus I now know how and where modern television was born.
Highly recommended.
