Buy This Item Lucy:Burns John Wayne by Greatest Sports Legends  Available from Amazon  $6.99  on 11-15-2008     Reader Reviews When "The Lucille Ball Show" ran on TV in the 1960's, it was one of the highest rated comedy shows. On occasion, Lucy would have a guest on the show which would boost ratings throught eh stratosphere. Since Lucy was a blockbuster Hollywood presence, she was able to haul in the "heavy-hitters" and in this case it is John Wayne and George Burns. I bought the DVD for the John Wayne segment as I watched it as a child of perhaps 12 years old, and recalled it to be one of my favorites. It has not lost its charm. John Wayne is as big a star as ever, and his screen presence on the "small screen" of television does not diminish his visual impact. He made this episode with Lucy while filmimg his movie "The War Wagon" with Kirk Douglas. The set the episode was filmed on looks very much like the War Wagon set (a bar room), adn could be the same one. The episode with Lucy culminates with a funny bar room brawl where Lucy gets personally involved! This episode has lost none of its comedic impact throught he years and is as entertaining as ever; it is a must for the John Wayne collector. Jim "Konedog" Koenig
