I LOVE LUCY Behind the Scenes

This work, which will be of interest to the late Lucille Ball's many fans, is a charming and interesting memoir of the creation of the famous "I Love Lucy" TV show of the late 1950s. In this reminiscence, Oppenheimer, the progam's creator and producer, uses a number of radio and TV sound bites to supplement his story. Dobkin naturally and effortlessly reads this story of how Oppenheimer began writing for Lucy while she was still performing on radio and then switched to the new medium of television. His voice is always clear, never hurried, and quite pleasing. The sound recordings from radio and TV overall are of good quality. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]
