Lucy Makes It Big

About This Movie

So, 'Lucy Makes It Big' is a curious little comedy from '87. It’s got this offbeat vibe, really mixing the absurdity of showbiz with the chaos of personal ambition. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, which oddly adds to its charm. You’ve got Dickie Izhardo, who’s sort of playing a version of himself, and his wife Lucy is just this whirlwind of desperation to break into his world. The performances lean into this exaggerated reality, and there’s a playful absurdity to it all. It’s not just another sex comedy; it pokes fun at the industry while being deeply fascinated by the lengths people will go for fame. A unique piece for sure, especially for collectors who appreciate the quirks of 80s cinema.

This film is a bit of an oddity, not widely available on mainstream formats, which makes it a gem for collectors. Its scarcity stems from the niche appeal and the relatively low profile of both its cast and director. Interest in the film has been growing among collectors who appreciate its unique blend of comedy and adult themes, marking it as a noteworthy entry in the 80s comedy landscape.
