I Love Lucy : Behind the Scenes

Rating:
Summary: A gripping read
Review: The best "Lucy" book yet. Aside from providing amazing insight into the "I Love Lucy" show and behind the scenes, this book also makes the reader feel as if he has been right along side Jess Oppenheimer throughout all of his fascinating experiences in San Francisco and early Hollywood. By the time I finished the book, I felt like I was saying good-bye to an old friend. Laugh out loud funny and impossible to put down, the book is brilliantly written and feels like a hilarious conversation with a genious.

Summary: Laughs, Luck,...and Lucy
Review: This book is full of insight on the show I Love Lucy; also on the radio show My Favorite Husband which inspired I Love Lucy. Lucille Ball stared in both shows. The book was written by Jess Oppenheimer and his son Gregg Oppenheimer. Jess Oppenheimer was the creator, writter, and producer of I Love Lucy. Sixteen chapters full of information for any Lucy Lover, would like to read about. The book has exclusive photos of the stars and other people behind the show. Each photo has a description about it. The book also comes with a Lucy's Lost Scenes CD. On the CD there are some episodes of I Love Lucy's lost scenes, also some episodes of other I Love Lucy episodes such as "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" There is also some episodes from My Favorite Husband. The book also has scripts from I Love Lucy and My Favorite Husband inside the book. The scripts are original scripts that as you can see when looking at it had lots of changes to make it better. Inside the book talks about the authors. Full of information that you probably wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. This is probably the best book to read it all from the beginning. How and why did I Love Lucy ever existed. Who better to explain it than the man who created it!!

Summary: " Jess & Gregg Oppenheimer, The Great Ones"
Review: This book was written by two great men, Jess & Gregg Oppenheimer. I mean Jess was,"the man behind the Ball."Jess knows all the facts. I mean he was the brains behind it all. And when you complete this book you will know exactly what I'm talking about. He was a true genius.Jess & Gregg will lead you deep into a dynasty. This was not a one woman show. Before reading this book I thought Lucille Ball created "I Love Lucy." Now I know the facts. Please if you are a true Lucy & Desi fan,get a hold of this one! But get prepared for alot of hard core facts on the most famous couple in history! Christy Hunter

Rating:
Summary: Funny!
Review: This is a real nice book, that contains the only script that they didn't want to do (well it is familiar, the just rewrote the ending) And the CD is a nice touch to the book. It contains the radio show "My Favorite Husband"

Rating:
Summary: Oppenheimer is a genius!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read, definitely worth your money. Not only does Oppenheimer talk about working on I Love Lucy, but he talks about his truly interesting life before Lucy. It's an endless line of funny stories while taking the reader through a history of the early radio and television days. I never wanted this book to end!!

Summary: Among the Best Lucy Books Ever!
Review: This is one of the best Lucille Ball and "I Love Lucy" books I've ever read. It's at least up there with "Love, Lucy" (Lucille Ball's autobiography) if not higher. I especially enjoyed the in-depth look at "My Favorite Husband," which has never been so interestingly discussed before

Rating:
Summary: This book shows a lot of hard work!
Review: This was an excellent, well written book. You can really see the hard work Gregg did in completing this book. I recommend it to every Lucy fan. There are many informative parts about "My Favorite Husband." This book is a must
