Someone has posted both parts of Ethel's guest on The Lucy Show. Portions of it have been on youtube before, but the quality was color was never this good. And it has the original opening credits!

I own the whole series, so of course I've seen this already, but it is always a treat to see perhaps my two favorite actresses of all time on screen together.

This episode really was the original VICTOR/VICTORIA

Funny, I always thought 1933's Viktor und Viktoria would be the original Victor Victoria.

To see Lucy, Viv (Ethel MErtz) and Ethel Merman all in the same room with such bright vivid colors is a gay dream come true.

I love when Merman belts the end of I Got Rhythm in that. It gives me chills.

Little-known Ethel Merman/Ethel Mertz connection: A very young Vivian Vance was Ethel Merman's understudy in Anything Goes.

I especially love this episode set because it portrays the Merm as a very caring and kind human being.

Watched both parts tonight. I'm feeling very under the weather and this totally made my night! Put a big smile on my face.

Now I'm feeling much better!
