Featured review
More genuine than some of the earlier episodes
This episode starts off in a fairly typical Lucy fashion, and the plot overall is generally predictable. Ricky shines more than any other character in this episode, especially when Desi Arnaz genuinely begins laughing after mistakenly speaking in English instead of Spanish. Above other episodes, Arnaz seems to greatly enjoy this episode, even if Lucy's performance is slightly lacking. Additionally, like my personal favorite Lucy episodes, it features the club and music, which always allows Arnaz's full skill set to shine. While I wouldn't recommend this episode to Lucille Ball fans, it does encapsulate Arnaz's character in an extremely comedic and enjoyable way.
