Buy This Item I Love Lucy - Lucy's Italian Movie Ballet by 20th Century Fox  Available from Amazon  $9.98  on 11-28-2008     In "Lucy's Italian Movie," the wacky redhead is on her (several-episodes-long) European vacation. In Rome, she's discovered by a well-known Italian film director; he wants her to star in his film <I>Bitter Grapes</I>. After years of longing to be in show biz, Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) may get her big break. But, in an attempt to affect the Method, with which she aspires to completely <i>become</i> her character, she encounters a group of wine-making Italian women. Yes, this is the episode in which she stomps on the grapes.<p> Both that episode and "The Ballet" (which features her "Slowly I Turned" routine) showcase Ball's physical comedic brilliance. Yes, she could deliver a line like no one else, but she could also mug without being too broad and could perform amazing physical feats. Even without dialogue, she was hysterical. Ricky (Desi Arnaz) needs a ballerina and a comic, which fuels Lucy's acting aspirations. She immediately enrolls in a strict, conservative class--and fails miserably (though hilariously). Then she opts for a burlesque instructor. When she's actually hired, there is, as expected, a miscommunication. Supported by a strong cast, Ball has here the opportunity to combine her comedic abilities--much to audience's delight. <I>--N.F.
