The film focuses on Ball and Anaz, a couple in real life who also played a couple in the classic sitcom "I Love Lucy". The "Ricardo" in the title is the surname of their characters in the show. The story is set during a working week in the filming of "I Love Lucy", from the script reading on Monday to the audience shooting on Friday. During this period, the two encounter a huge crisis and their careers may come to an end. Marriage may also fall through. Historically, it was Ball who asked the production team of "I Love Lucy" that her husband, Anaz, also star in the show (which was adapted from Ball's popular radio drama). CBS was once reluctant, fearing that viewers wouldn't like to see a very "American" female lead with a Cuban-American man.[Collapse]
