A
unique collectible for I LOVE LUCY - a reproduction of a complete script, and
additional pages from 2 "bridge" scenes to add onto a rerun, so
this spans 3 episodes!
First,
a reproduction of a fifth season I LOVE LUCY episode "Lucy Goes to Monte
Carlo," which was one of the funniest episodes of the series which
had the Europe story arc and Lucy unwittingly on the winning end at roulette.
It's fascinating to follow along and see how it compares to the final
show and the scripts were much more simplistic than they are today. This
script was an early draft that clearly ran short as it ends without the final
scene in the casino. The first and last page are reproduced in color to
reflect it’s vintage era.
Second,
as this was the early days of television, reruns were not yet common on network
TV. In cases such as this, a bridge scene was written and filmed that was
used as a device to use new material to lead into the rerun. These scenes
are 3 and 4 pages and the time length is noted at the top of each page, to
indicate the length of the scene, which leads directly to the early episodes
they are reintroducing, THE DIET and MEN ARE MESSY, two early season one
episodes. These pages are reproduced in color to capture the vintage
nature of the material.
Nicely bound for easy reading while watching the episode.
Please note I have a few other episodes that each have unique extra elements as well, please feel free to inquire.
