That would have been cool! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Here's something to think about...

Think of a movie with a male and female lead that you think Lucy and Desi could have been good in.

For instance...

I don't have a specific, but I think they would have been cool in a film noir. Lucy as the femme fatale, Desi as the detective/insurance agent/private eye/etc. They both smoked enough cigarettes to qualify.

Congrats dearie, this is a great idea! How about My Best Friend's Wedding with Lucy in the Julia Roberts part trying to break up Desi marrying Lana Turner?

Notting Hill? Hell, that could almost be biographical! Lucy is the big movie star, and Desi the guy chasing her, who nobody thinks has got a chance. He wouldn't necessarily be a bookstore owner though. Maybe he could own a music store, and play the instruments after hours!

SPLAIN · 10-31-2002, 04:03 PM

There's something about Lucy? Nah, i dun't see Lucy putting that in her hair! I can see Desi getting his thing stuck in his zipper though, he seldom wore underwear!

Mickey · 10-31-2002, 04:33 PM

Umm... Bringing Up Baby? I can see Lucy playing that kind of screwball role for obvious reasons, and Desi could do the Cary Grant role there. Lots of pop-eyed goggling and getting very frustrated. Actually he could probably have done more than one of those Cary Grant comedies. Little for Lucy to do in Arsenic And Old Lace though of course,

Liar, Liar,Lucy stars in the Jim Carrey part as she has plenty of screen experience in this type of situation! Lucy Ventura Pet detective as Lucy has even more experience working with animals, and i am not referring to Jack Palance! Dumb and Dumber, Lucy and Viv try and find Rudy Vallee in Aspen and run the gamut of adventures while trying to outsmart each other getting to him first! Lucy on the toilet is a riot. The Cable lady, stars Lucy as a nut case who forces people to watch a certain comedy show over and over.

Um... Mary Poppins?! Lucy as Mary, and Desi as Bert, although he'd have to promise not to attempt a Cockney accent. Everybody has always wondered just what exactly Mary's relationship with Bert was, so maybe then we'd get to find out!

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 01:31 PM

Lucy as Dolly and Desi as Horace, or even better, there must be a movie where the lead actress is slated to marry one guy but the guy that's better for her is just around the corner but she doesn't see it. The guy she's supposed to marry played by Gary and the guy she should marry played by Desi, ok, maybe i'm overreaching!

How about Overboard, the movie with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. Put Lucy and Desi in those roles.

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 02:47 PM

Lucy GUMP, the whole world revolves around this person, oh, never mind that's already the case for most of us! Arnaz versus Arnaz, these two parents fight for custody of little Ricky! West Hollywood Story, these two rival gangs stake their territory while Lucy attempts to sing Maria! An affair to remember, Lucy plays the Kerr role and Desi Cary's part. Citizen Ball, at 6 that morning of April 26th, Lucy drops her wig and whispers Henna Rinse!

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 02:51 PM

Chatsworth, a remake of Casablanca! But when Desi makes that speech at the plane, nobody understands him!

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 02:58 PM

Mr Hobbs takes a sedative, in this sequel to Mr Hobbs takes a vacation, Desi plays the Stewart rold and the role of Maureen taken by Lucy becomes more scatterbrained! Meet the parents, Lawrence Luckenbill meets his new in laws for the first time! Analyse This That and the Other where Lucy and Desi see Billy Crystal to find out why they acted the way they did while married to each other!

SPLAIN · 11-01-2002, 03:01 PM

Ok, i swear this is the last one for me this week, are you sorry you started this thread yet Dawsongirl Diva? Jackass the sequel, the true story of Gary Morton and how he preferred playing golf to being with his wife! For the Morton relatives, that was just a joke! And he was a comedian, so he would find that funny himself!

Ooo...Desi and a Cockney accent?

That would have to be worse than his Scottish one! I have the plainest American accent known to man and I find Cockney much harder than Standard British.
