About the title
The action of the retro biopic 'Being the Ricardos' unfolds over one extremely difficult week — exactly the time it took to produce a single episode of the show about housewife Lucy Ricardo and her husband, singer Ricky Ricardo. In the 1950s, the cult American sitcom 'I Love Lucy' was extremely popular in the US, with the lead roles played by the stars of the time, Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. This acting couple was a pair not only on screen, but married in real life as well. Lucille Ball was not just a vivid comedic actress, but a true legend of American television. In 2012, ABC News and People magazine asked television viewers to name the best TV show of all time: 'I Love Lucy' came in first place.
