2003 television film based on the life and career of actress and comedian Lucille Ball. Listed in various sources as a Canadian/USA co-production, this includes quite a lot of New Zealand talent in the cast so even if it wasn't shot here (i suspect it was but haven't found any evidence to prove it) it's worth a mention as a lot of local talent must have been left the country on the same flight to where ever it was filmed...

"for for Emmy consideration" dvds were made, but it seems like only bootleg copies exist for the public.
