The Mambo Kings is a 1992 film starring Antonio Banderas and Armand Assante and directed by Arne Glimcher based on the novel by Oscar Hijuelos.

Eventually ending up in New York, they attempt to resume their music career. The film features a scene where the brothers appear in an I Love Lucy episode, cleverly intercutting footage of Banderas and Assante into an actual I Love Lucy episode.
