It's "I Love Lucy"'s fourth season, and it's the best one yet! Ride along with the Ricardos and the Mertzes as they head out to Hollywood to launch Ricky's movie career in this laugh-filled five-disc collection. Lucy runs the gamut - from faux Marilyn Monroe ("Ricky's Movie Offer") to TV-hostess-in-a-potato-sack ("Mr. & Mrs. TV Show"). In Hollywood, our favorite redhead sets fire to her nose ("L.A. At Last"), struggles in her big movie scene and bigger headdress ("Lucy Gets In Pictures"), dangles from a movie star's penthouse balcony ("The Star Upstairs") and even goes one-on-one with one of the Marx Brothers ("Harpo Marx"). Come on and join in all the fun, along with guest stars William Holden, Van Johnson, Rock Hudson, Richard Widmark, Harpo Marx, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Teensy & Weensy - and more!
Product Description:
I LOVE LUCY debuted in 1951 and quickly set a new standard for situation comedy with its well-crafted plotlines, live tapings, multiple camera angles, and one of the finest ensemble casts in television history. Centered around the domestic life of zany redhead Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) and her Cuban-born husband Ricky (Lucy's real-life spouse Desi Arnaz), the series also broke the cultural taboos of the whitebread 1950s by featuring an interracial marriage and a female lead that was less than the obedient housewife. Indeed, it was Lucy's neverending quest to muscle in on her husband's show business career--often with the help of meddlesome next-door neighbors Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance)--that provided the show its main comedic thrust and continues to lend it a timelessly classic appeal. This collection presents every episode from the series' fourth season.
