Barnes & Noble The 1955-56 season opens with the Ricardos and the Mertzes near the end of their stay in Hollywood. Lucy goes on a frantic search for souvenirs to bring home and, at the famous Graumans Chinese Theatre, hatches an insane plot to make off with the loosened cement slab containing John Waynes footprints. The Duke himself makes an appearance in this classic two-parter. The bulk of the season takes place overseas: when Rickys band is signed for an extended European tour, Lucy and the Mertzes tag along, bringing their patented brand of mirthful mayhem to numerous foreign settings. One hilarious episode, set in Paris, stars Charles Boyer as himself; Lucy fancies that hes interested in her after a chance meeting at a café. Another memorable show finds the Ricardos and Mertzes snowbound at a mountaintop cabin in the Swiss Alps, being "entertained" by a Bavarian band. But the Season 5 standout -- and one of the best-remembered episodes in the entire series -- is "Lucys Italian Movie," in which the erstwhile Miss Lucille McGillicuddy is hired by a famous Italian director to star in his latest film. One of the scenes requires her to stomp grapes underfoot while standing in a wine vat, but shes unprepared for what happens next. This sequence alones justifies the purchase of this box set, which shows yet again how skilled writers and directors kept the series fresh by shifting locale and varying the types of situations in which Lucy and Ethel found themselves.
