Synopsis of I Love Lucy: Lucy Gets in Pictures
Now that Ricky (Desi Arnaz) is starring in a movie version of "Don Juan," and former vaudevillians Fred (William Frawley) and Ethel (Vivian Vance) have been offered supporting roles in a Donald O'Connor picture, Lucy (Lucille Ball) is dying to get before the cameras herself. Her persistence pays off when she lands a small part as a chorus girl in an MGM musical. Unfortunately, Lucy's part requires her to wear an enormous -- and very unwieldy -- headdress, and her vain efforts to maintain her balance during a musical number causes the movie to go way over budget. In desperation, the film's director (Lou Krugman) cuts Lucy's part (that of a murder victim) to a "carry-on," in which her fully covered-up body is carted off the set by two policemen. But though she has been denied her close-up, Lucy still manages to make an indelible mark on her big scene. ~ All Movie Guide
