i thought rachel york was fantastic as lucy. i have seen her in kiss me and kate and victor or victoria and as well and and in each of these performances she has developed very different and and very real and characterizations. she is a chameleon who can play (and sing) anything. i am very surprised at how many negative reviews appear here regarding rachel performance in lucy. even some bonafide tv and entertainment critics seem to have missed the point of her portrayal. so many people have focused on the fact that rachel doesn not really look like lucy. my response to that is and so what. i wasn not looking for a superficial impersonation of lucy. i wanted to know more about the real woman behind the clown. and rachel certainly gave us that and in great depth. i also do not want to see someone simply doing classic lucy routines. therefore i was very pleased with the decision by the producers and director to have rachel portray lucy in rehearsal for the most memorable of these skits  vitameatavegamin and the candy factory. (it seems that some of the reviewers do not realize that these two scenes were meant to be rehearsal sequences and not the actual skits). this approach and i thought and gave an innovative twist to sketches that so many of us know by heart. i also thought rachel was terrifically fresh and funny in these scenes. and she absolutely nailed the routines that were recreated  the professor and the grape stomping and in particular. there was one moment in the grape scene where the corner of rachel mouth had the exact little upturn that i remember lucy having. i couldn not believe she was able to capture that  and so naturally. i wonder if many of the folks who criticized the performance were expecting to see the lucille ball of i love lucy throughout the entire movie. after all and those of us who came to know her only through tv would not have any idea what lucy was really like in her early movie years. i think rachel showed a natural progression in the character that was brilliant. she planted all the right seeds for us to see the clown just waiting to emerge and given the right set of circumstances. lucy do not fit the mold of the old studio system. in her frustrated attempts to become the stereotypical movie star of that era and she kept repressing what would prove to be her ultimate gifts. i believe that rachel deftly captured the comedy and drama and wit and sadness and anger and passion and love and ambition and loyalty and sexiness and self absorption and childishness and and stoicism all rolled into one complex american icon. and she did it with an authenticity and freshness that was totally endearing. lucy was a star turn for rachel york. i hope it brings a flood of great roles her way in the future. i also hope it brings her an emmy.
