Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe footage of Ricky singing 'Vaya Con Dios' is recycled footage from the season 3 episode Lucy and Ethel Buy the Same Dress. You can tell because the curtain changes after Ricky announces the name of the song he is going to sing.
- GoofsThe camera equipment Lucy uses to make her "Western Drama" as competition for Ricky's audition film is all mixed up, to say the least. The camera is clearly an 8mm camera of the type used for home movies in the 1950s, yet when she is seen later editing the film, it is 16mm. Also, when Fred sees the setup, he points to one machine that he calls a projector (and it looks like a projector), and asks what it is for. Lucy explains that it's one of those "new ones", that records the sound right on the film. Sound on film, while rare on home movies in the 1950s, would have been recorded in the camera (where the film is!), not on a projector (where the film will later be shown).
- Quotes
Ethel Mertz: [getting ready to go over to the Ricardos' apartment] You better take your glasses with you.
Fred Mertz: What for? I know what Lucy and Ricky look like.
Ethel Mertz: Suppose Ricky wants to show us his home movies again?
Fred Mertz: He wouldn't dare. He's been showin' 'em to us every night.
Ethel Mertz: Well, after all, it's his first movie camera and the first pictures he's got of the baby.
Fred Mertz: Well, count me out. If I want to see old movies, I can stay home and watch television.
Ethel Mertz: Well, what can we do?
Fred Mertz: I'll tell you what we'll have to do. Don't let the conversation lag. Don't even give him a chance to suggest showin' the movies.
Ethel Mertz: Hey, that's a good idea.
Fred Mertz: Now just remember, here's what you've got to do: just keep talkin', and talkin', and talkin', and talkin'... you know, act normal.
