I Love Lucy
Ethel's Home Town
If you like I Love Lucy – add it to your favorites!
The more you tell us about yourself, the better your experience will be.On the last leg of their trip from New York to Hollywood, the Ricardos and the Mertzes pull into Albuquerque, the home town of Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance). The four travelers are effusively welcomed by Ethel's father, Will Potter (Irving Bacon), who has arranged a gala reception for Alquerque's favorite daughter ("Ethel Mae Potter -- We Never Forget Her"). And why exactly is Ethel being feted as a celebrity? Well, it seems that she told a few -- er -- tall tales about having a spectacular show-business career to the editor of the "Albuquerque Chronicle." Hoping to teach Ethel a lesson, Lucy (Lucille Ball), Ricky (Desi Arnaz), and Fred (William Frawley) try to sabotage her command performance at the local little theater -- but she who laughs last laughs the loudest. ~ All Movie Guide
