This review is from: The I Love Lucy Collection, Vol. 3 ~ L.A. AT LAST and LUCY AND HARPO MARX [VHS] (VHS Tape)

It could be said there was no one finer then Lucille Ball - she was "the" class act. She changed the way the entire television industry worked. Like all the tapes in this collection, this one is particularly special as it featured Lucy with Harpo Marx. It what was one of televisions finest moments. A must for any Lucy fan and a must for anyone who enjoys great comedy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lucy's legendary encounters with William Holden & Harpo Marx, June 5, 2001

This review is from: The I Love Lucy Collection, Vol. 3 ~ L.A. AT LAST and LUCY AND HARPO MARX [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This tape from the "I Love Lucy" Collection has what for my money are the two best episodes from the show's fourth season when Lucy & Ricky and Fred & Ethel head to California. "L.A. at Last" (Episode #114, February 7, 1955) finds Lucy and the Mertzes heading for the famous Brown Derby restaurant while Ricky heads to the movie studio to begin working on "Don Juan." There Lucy has a legendary encounter with William Holden that ends up with her nose on fire. To set the record straight: Lucy getting her nose on fire WAS in the script, but her decision to dunk her nose into the coffee was an AD-LIB (she was supposed to take the nose off before dunking it). This episode introduces Bobby Jellison as Bobby the Bellboy. "Harpo Marx" (Episode #125, May 9, 1955) showcases Lucille Ball's physical comedy in a great scene with the beloved silent Marx Brother. Caroline Appleby (Doris Singleton) is supposedly on her way to Hawaii but postpones her trip to attend a party at the Ricardo's hotel suite where famous movie stars are supposed to arrive. Lucy plays to fool Caroline by stealing her glasses and having people wear masks of famous stars. But then Ricky and Fred show up with Harpo. The mirror sequence between the two was apparently a pain to shoot (and reshoot), but worth the effort just to see the two famous "redheads" go at it. Two comedy gems on one tape.

This review is from: The I Love Lucy Collection, Vol. 3 ~ L.A. AT LAST and LUCY AND HARPO MARX [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Boy this one was a classic! Everybody remembers the time that Lucy got Bill Holden hit in the face with a pie. And the one with Harpo Marx...unforgettable! Lucy was never more Lucy than in these two wonderful shows.
