Amy Poehler directed this doc that looks at the personal lives and professional achievements of this famous couple. The primary source comes from audio tapes they recorded, but there are also other interview clips and plenty of archival footage.

They were probably the most famous real life married couple on TV of their time but there was a lot of stuff that we're on behind the scenes we didn't always know. Call Tim and Lee I found it very sad that their reasons for creating a I Love Lucy were to be together and have a family but by the end of the series that was fractured. But they always loved each other. They just couldn't be married to each other. Especially noteworthy is Amy Poehler who directed this journey through the lives of the stars of one of the most popular situation comedies of all times.… Expand
