I Love Lucy
Cuban Bandleader Ricky Ricardo would be happy if his wife Lucy would just be a housewife. Instead she tries constantly to perform at the Tropicana where he works, and make life comically frantic in the apartment building they share with landlords Fred and Ethel Mertz, who also happen to be their best friends.

The Girls Want to Go to a Nightclub
The Girls Want to Go to a Nightclub
It's the Mertzes' eighteenth wedding anniversary. Ethel longs to celebrate it by going to the Copacabana, while Fred wants to attend the fights. As can be guessed, an argument soon ensues among the couples. Ethel and Lucy decide that they will go to the club-with dates! Now, this is perfectly fine with Fred, but Ricky is worried. So he and Fred call an old friend, Ginny Jones, for dates so that they can go to the nightclub and spy on their wives. Coincidentally, Lucy and Ethel have also called Ginny about getting dates to go to the club. When Ginny tells the girls about the boys' plans, Lucy decides that she and Ethel will impersonate the boys' blind dates. Thus, the two of them enter the Ricardo apartment decked out like country bumpkins, which makes for some superb Lucille Ball schtick.

Prenant, assez surprenant malgré sa réalisation en "théâtre filmé", I Love Lucy ne palit pas face au sitcom moderne dont elle pose clairement les bases.
L'humour fait mouche, et si le rythme parait un peu lent face au standard moderne, l'usage des longs plan-séquence et la bonne alchimie des comédiens fait vraiment la différence.
Agréablement surpris d'avoir passé un aussi bon moment.
