I love this episode. It is one of my favorites because I love the comedy of errors. Lucy writes a play for her Woman's Club and tries to trick Ricky into playing the male lead by making the play about his life back in Cuba. Rickey wants nothing to do with it so Lucy, Ethel and Fred decide to do an English variation of the Cuban play.
Later on when Ricky discovers there will be a movie producer judging the plays he asks Fred to let him to the role. Fred tries to tell him the play has been changed but Ricky interprets him and assures him he knows all about the play.
I often wonder IF the scene where Ethel reads her lines exactly as written was the inspiration for Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004).
Where Ethel reads the line "That's nice?" instead of "That's nice." lol.
