In 'Being the Ricardos,' Javier Bardem brings out the multifaceted Cuban American actor.
,” a dramatic slice-of-life story centered on one of America’s most famous TV couples as they face a series of crises that threaten their personal and professional lives.
Director and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin condenses a string of pivotal events in the couple’s life into an intense one-week timeline, starting off with a gossip columnist who accuses Ball of being a communist. In 1953, the accusation meant Ball could end up on the Hollywood blacklist and lose work opportunities because of suspicions of communist or subversive ties.
The couple pushed back by launching their own television company, Desilu Productions, and creating “I Love Lucy,” which premiered on CBS in 1951. When Ball became pregnant with her second child, Arnaz advocated for the pregnancy to be written into the show, even though it was considered a taboo topic for television at the time. Arnaz fought skeptical executives who wanted Ball to hide her growing belly behind chairs and other props.
When Ball’s past affiliations with the Communist Party resurfaced, Arnaz spoke to the media on her behalf, convincing the public that she was only trying to please her ailing grandfather in the 1930s by registering under his party affiliation but that she had no plans to get involved meaningfully.
