Sunday, October 4:

11A | 10C: "Lucy’s Italian Movie" — In Rome, a film producer asks Lucy if she’d be interested in auditioning for his new film entitled “Bitter Grapes.” Thinking that the film has something to do with the production of wine, she goes to the only non-automated winery left in the area.

12:30P | 11:30C: "Lucy and John Wayne" — Lucy is spotted while attempting to "collect" a cement block with John Wayne's footprints from Grauman's Chinese Theater. To avoid publicity and keep Lucy out of jail, Ricky enlists John Wayne's help in replacing the block. One mishap leads to another, and the plot thickens — as does the cement. John Wayne guest-stars.

3P | 2C: "Job Switching" — Ricky and Fred think doing housework is much easier than earning money, but Lucy and Ethel feel the opposite; so the boys try doing the housework while the girls attempt to hold down a job on a conveyor belt at a candy factory.

3:30P | 2:30C: "Lucy Does a TV Commercial" — Lucy has angled her way onto Ricky's special as the show's pitch girl. She advertises a medicine called "Vitameatavegamin."
