Soaking Up Italian Culture:
I recently showed this video and another Lucy video to my students, and I was happy to see that the humour of I Love Lucy has lost nothing in the change of generations. They loved Lucy, too. This video contains one of her most famous episodes and scenes where she stomps the grapes in the wine vat. Lucy is at her comedic best in this episode. Notice the hilarious way she dances and runs around the vat. I've read that the Italian woman in the vat with her got a little carried away and nearly drowned Lucy! That's method acting. The other episode is also funny, although not as famous. Lucy's attempts at ballet are hilarious, and the "Slowly I Turned" routine also works well. What a gift for physical comedy the lady had!
LUCY STOMPING GRAPES!:
"Lucy's Italian Movie" is one of the most beloved of all episodes. Notice the train in the beginning scene racing down Italian tracks-it lends realism to the show. The plot is so well-known that a synopsis is unneccesary. Those were real grapes in the vat and when Lucy first stuck her bare foot into them she said they felt like "thousands of eyeballs"(!) and it made her squirm. I love the look on Desi's face when Lucy begs Vitorrio Felipe to reconsider her for his "Bitter Grapes";his expressions are at once disbelieving and compassionate towards Lucy in her frantic attempt to be a "new discovery".
Entre le vin italien... ou le ballet, mon coeur balance!:
Alors là, mes amis! Que de rires cette cassette va vous procurer! Chacun des deux épisodes ont leur cachet et leur bonne dose de drôlerie. Lucy se battant avec une mamma italienne ou s'emmêlant les pieds dans une barre de salle de danse, vous allez vous tordre de rire du début à la fin! Promis!
If you like lucy or just love to laugh you will love this.:
I love lucy! So I love all her films like the "Adventures In Europe" and the film titled "Lucy's Long Lost Episodes" and " I Love Lucy's Zany Road Trips" and much, much more. But if you love to laugh and not a big Lucy fan just watch this movie full of laughs that will make you cry in this wonderful film I love Lucy classic Volume 2
