I can totally see why Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married twice. So much talent, passion, love...I myself would've also married Richard Burton in an instant.
The bit with the ring really was very funny. Whatever her offstage personality was, and however she may have clashed with Taylor and Burton, she truly was a comedic genius.
@@garypatterson2055 Richard hated the way she made him say his lines. He respected her talent but their way of working was totally opposite and that was difficult for him.
Hahaha good ol' TV! Elizabeth looks like she's having lots of fun. Cute! And I absolutely love what she and Richard are wearing. Thank you for uploading this clip :)
Jim Bacon, who appears as himseif in 10:26, wrote in his 1977 book Made In Hollywood that at the initial rehearsals Burton was wasting his lines, dramatizing them as if he was doing Shakespearei at the Old Vic, which annoyed Lucy immensely. Knowing that Bacon was one of Burton's drinking partners Lucy turned to him for help. Bacon told Richard that in order to win the audience's favor he had to stop the exageration and perform the way Milton Berle used to do at his TV shows, "knockin' em dead". Only then did Burton's approach change and he was brilliant.
I love that there's an audible gasp from the audience when Lucy opens the ring box. The Taylor-Burton Diamond was the first single diamond to sell for a million or more dollars. Burton had bought it for Taylor from Cartier a year or two earlier.
Gale Gordon was hilarious in this. He is a real talent. It is wonderful how all these screen stars guest on the various tv shows. Its nice to see a variety of stars together who are completely different genres. This was a hilarious episode and one of my favorites. Thanks for the upload.
This was fun. I kind of remember the original broadcast and how exciting it was then that stars of the magnitude of Taylor and Burton were making an appearance on a TV sitcom--that was kind of unheard of. (The equivalent might be Prince Charles and Princess Diana making a guest appearance on "Taxi" or "Cheers.") This was the kind of programming your family gathered around and watched with you--I really miss those days.
Richard Burton despised Lucille Ball's technique which was notoriously (yet surprisingly) regimented. After the first rehearsal, Lucielle gathered everyone together and made them go over the script another 3 times. Richard told the director to get "Jingle Balls" to stay clear of Elizabeth, claiming she would explode like nuclear war head if she was to be micro-managed. I don't know that she really would have though, I think he just knew Elizabeth had good timing & didn't want Ball hampering it.
They certainly didn't care how much time they spent in the sun back then. Overboard on the tanning I think. I remember the Coppertone straight oil with no sunscreen that was so popular, the goal was to get as dark as possible (talking about grown ups I was a little thing at that time) That dark of a tan looks weird to me now!
Regarding the taping of the show, Elizabeth Taylor wrote in Burton's diary: "You were so right on, so proud-making last nite - everything you did made everyone (like Lucy) look like peasants - Love you" (5/14/1970)
damn that is so narcissistic!! Lucy is the Queen of Comedy and the queen of Television and her shows are enjoyed today and have stood the test of time. Reading what these two have to say about her and having watched an interview of another actress who appeared in the episode following this one where she said just how much money Lucy had spent to please these two to the point it had affected the following episodes. the problem was not with Lucy, it was with them. Lucy is a no nonsense person so she wouldn't have taken crap from them , she would have given it right back and rightly so.
@@zainabawoon9697: Apparently Lucy was very difficult to work with. She was a control freak and that sort of people are often very annoying to work with. She was a great comedian, but I don’t think she was very pleasant to work with. Although I have to agreed that it was kind of narcissistic to write that sentence, but we don’t know why she wrote it. Maybe Richard Burton was extremely uncomfortable about doing a Tv sitcom playing himself?! Maybe he was furious with Lucy…
@@scandinavianfreedom2589I read that Richard loathed Lucy, and he called her a “monster of staggering charmlessness and monumental lack of humor”… “Milady Balls can thank her lucky stars that I am not drinking. There is a chance that I might have killed her.l 😮
Wonderful to see the Burtons sending themselves up. Only Lucille Ball could have got them to do that. However, Richard Burton seems to be slightly self-conscious - looking at the floor when not speaking - probably because acting in TV comedy was alien to him.
Lucy was an absolute comic genius. At that time it was hilarious & still holds up well. Her company produced..The Untouchables & others. What a clever lady!
Sigh! If it weren't for old programs on youtube and old movies on bluray/dvd I would have no use for my tv (it's attached to my computer.) I try to like the current movies and programs but there's just something about them that is dull, flat, boring and leaves you with a bad feeling afterwards even in 1080P, CMYK color 3D and all that stuff!
Taylor and Burton were very famous but by this era they had stopped being bankable and after 1967 they made very insignificant movies and box office failures. Apparently their personal life and glamour still was commercial asset but their artistic career, especially Taylor's, was in an irreversible decline.
Most of those movies were ahead of their time. Press-envy did a hatchet job on the movies, but real acting of Burton's was excellent, perhaps only Warren Beatty didn't correspond to Elizabeth in Only game...
In reply to Mickey Raton That is because the actors that transgressed to TV in the 1950's and 1960's were great character actors in the movies, or had a lot training on the stage, or on radio. Both Lucy and Gale Gordon were great character actors, or great grade B actors on the radio and movies Like it or not, because of the censorship code, you could not resort to gross out or profanity stuff that they do on comedy today often ruining programs that have great writing like South Park
Lucy was fabulous! This was a funny episode. Almost scandalous it seems as they kissed her (60's free love?... lol) Lucy was hilarious. Elizabeth looked fabulous although a bit tanned which wasn't uncommon. And poor Burton. His line about women in pt. 1 had me in stitches. Seems like he'd been through the mill. Lol.
"and they call me a two FISTED drinker'' referring to his reputation, which was an accurate one, of his drinking problems. So, here, when Taylor has 2 glasses, one held by her and one by Lucy, he makes that comment as he was known to always have a drink in each hand...'two fisted', which gives the comment a completely different meaning that what I think you did not hear correctly. "feisty/fisted' can be easily confused. I saw him the last time he did 'Camelot' at Lincoln Center, so drunk, sadly.
Chase Jackson, really? Were u there? Of course this episode is familiar to one from I Love Lucy and The Lucy Show it was written by the same writers. Lucy was famous for her nepotism and employed the same group of actors and writers from her I Love Lucy days. I doubt that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were totally in charge doing filming. Lucy and Gary and CBS were in charge. Perhaps the Burtons had script and scheduling approval. Yes, they were famous and in demand but they were hardly any match for young Hollywood when this episode aired in 1971. The Burton's actually needed this more so than Lucy and CBS. The Burtons needed to promote their cause as actors and a couple to garner interest in their up coming films. By this time Liz was close to 40 competing with younger actresses such as Ali MacGraw, Faye Dunaway, Cybill Shepherd, Mia Farrow who were all doing well at the box office. Here's Lucy was the least funniest and least successful of Lucy's sit-coms but the series was doing well in the top 10 in 1971 due to all the celebrity guest stars. Even at age 8 back in 1971 I knew this series was not of the same quality as Lucy's previous shows. Husbands and wives argue all the time and since Lucy and Gary worked together on set I am sure there were many disagreements. Lucy and Desi Arnaz had many famous arguments on set as well. Lucy was never overrated, she was a beautiful, talented comedian who did her job well and with such great seriousness.
You could smoke in bleeding hospitals in the 80's so this is hardly shocking. Surely you've seen interviews much much later than this with people smoking. And also this is fiction - even today people smoke in films and dramas on occasion.
Nobody's fool lol...and my GP lit up a ciggy in the surgery while we discussed wine..that was 80s too. I worked in a hospital in late 70s and doctors/nurses smoked in the side room ON the ward. When my dad died in hospital in 1977, we chatted with the doctor inside the entrance while he lit up a cigarillo. I kinda miss those days. In fact my dad gave up cigarettes at 40yo, barely touched alcohol yet died of a brain haemorrhage, like Richard, at 57. ...stress! Probably biggest killer in today's climate. I always thought he'd have lived longer if he HAD smoked.
Ive always thought thatJoyce from the Times should have worn a longer dress and i was in my early teens when i first saw this. Sadly, women are still dressing like that today. Not good.
Actually. per Taylor's memoirs, they were, the 2 couples, pre divorces, (Lucy and Desi and Liz and Dick)....very good friends and she and Lucy, particularly, were friends from their time at MGM, though Lucy was 20 years her senior. Of course, Liz may have been sweetening it all, but why mention it at all, except to clear up inaccurate rumors. Always rumors that "A" hates "B", but usually not true. Only one I have heard is true, from them both, is Davis and Crawford. Obvious even in 'Baby Jane.'
except in real life Richard actually hated Ball . On the set Ball was beyond rude to the Burtons .Seems Lucy was something of a mean spirited task master on set not only to Liz & Dick but her entire crew
Great sketch but their fee almost broke the budget. Ironically Lucys hand is far more elegant and her long tapered fingers show of the diamond much better.
This is nothing for him playing the fool . Always liz is the number one . Liz was to much Diva money Party Show off . This was not his life. Sometimes l believe he would be more happy with somebody else. I believe she is like Virginia in private life. If mike todd would be alive it never ever would happen. He was not that Soft guy . This was her big love . She had 3 kids with him
I actually agree with Chase Jackson in that Lucille Ball is over rated... I love I Love Lucy but to me she wouldn't have been half as funny if it weren't for Vivian Vance, who I prefer anyway...
PepsiMama2 Mr Burton stated after that show that Lucy was´t that funny person behind the cameras and that he didn´t want to see her anymore he wrote : " I make a point of never seeing her again …. Milady Ball can thank her lucky stars that I am not drinking. There is a chance that if I had I might have killed her. " this was taken from his diary written in the 70´S well but Lucy was a high demanding person and wanted everything to be perfect in the show, and Burton was well known for drinking too much, she had the same problem with Joan Crawford who was drinking all the time in the rehearsals etc.
Okay--I just posted my warm-and-fuzzy-memory comment. Now I'll add this: this wasn't all that funny. It was amusing--especially the great Gale Gordon as the perpetually exasperated Mr. Mooney--but the later "Lucy" series just didn't have the sparkle and wit of its predecessors--especially the pioneering "I Love Lucy." That's probably why big-name guests like the Burtons were becoming so important, to make up for scripts that belonged to another era. I still prefer it to "Two Broke Girls," but...
I can totally see why Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton got married twice.
So much talent, passion, love...I myself would've also married Richard Burton in an instant.
the way Lucy acts towards Richard is absolutely hilarious!
Elizabeth should have done more comedy, she’s hilarious
Yeah, the German accent was great.
Gladys Rockefeller see her in The Taming of The Shrew with RB. Brilliant
What about Richard as well!
I agree
Absolutly 👍👍✌
I love the ending. Richard Burton was so sweet. 🥰
The whole ring gag especially Lucy's hand being used was comedy gold 😂
Elizabeth Taylor looks like a little girl in this episode! The characters she played in her films at the time concealed her true beauty.
They’re so lovely. I love the kisses at the end. So sweet.
Aww, being in the UK, I recall seeing these on a Sunday afternoon on the BBC in the early Seventies. Those credits and theme bring it all back...
What a handsome, handsome, handsome man...
The bit with the ring really was very funny. Whatever her offstage personality was, and however she may have clashed with Taylor and Burton, she truly was a comedic genius.
Bruce Jackson Actually made me cry with laughter! :' )
What supposedly had Lucy clash with the Burtons about...anyone know ?
@@garypatterson2055 Richard hated the way she made him say his lines. He respected her talent but their way of working was totally opposite and that was difficult for him.
@@lucyethel9152 Cheers, I didn't know that.👍
So fantastic Elisabeth Richard and Lucy make me laughing so much.Great great great.
Hahaha good ol' TV! Elizabeth looks like she's having lots of fun. Cute! And I absolutely love what she and Richard are wearing. Thank you for uploading this clip :)
This was the most watched episode of this full show.
What a piece Richard Burton is. Long hair really suited him
Wow her skin was just so beautiful. but it was more then that her sense of humor was a joy to watch is well. RIP Elizabeth(:

I also watched this when it was aired..it was a big deal..!!good to watch it again..thanks
what year was it aired? was it well publicized before the airing? what was the buzz after it aired?
This was cute and fun. Well executed. Elizabeth and Richard never looked better. Her stunning beauty and his charisma and sexiness.
Gale Gordon was hilarious in this. He is a real talent. It is wonderful how all these screen stars guest on the various tv shows. Its nice to see a variety of stars together who are completely different genres. This was a hilarious episode and one of my favorites. Thanks for the upload.
I so needed this - I haven't laughed this hard in quite a while. Thanks for the upload
Omg Lucille you are such a funny woman..I love this episode..
The press scene where lucy is behind liz is awesome.
This was fun. I kind of remember the original broadcast and how exciting it was then that stars of the magnitude of Taylor and Burton were making an appearance on a TV sitcom--that was kind of unheard of. (The equivalent might be Prince Charles and Princess Diana making a guest appearance on "Taxi" or "Cheers.") This was the kind of programming your family gathered around and watched with you--I really miss those days.
Yeah, except that you could tell this was way below their level.
On second sight. It really was funny!
Very talented woman Lucile Ball .
Hahahahah I LOVE LUCY she is WONDERFUL....I am from the UK but still managed to catch some of these x
Perfect, where are Artist like that today?????
Cut the finger not the ring!!! 9 fingers left... Hahaha
Classic TV at it's best.This is the number one favorite episode Lucille Ball appeared in.
Lucy had hundreds of them.
Perhaps the only one!!! Personally, I have watched this many times over since I saw it on RUclips years ago!!!
How could u dislike this?? It’s hilarious!!
I love Elizabeth Taylor!

I can't get over how incredibly tan Elizabeth and Richard Burton were here.
Even in 2020....still funny......and looks like both Liz and Richard where cracking up
Yes indeed . The two glasses is a hoot .
were
I laughed harder watching the ring scene than any I've seen in modern TV comedy in years..
Modern what? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😱🐸🐹
LUCILLE BALL IS AWESOME !!!
...and Richard and Elizabeth too.
Harry too!
I really liked mr moony as well he was such a wonderful part of the act

Awesoommmmmeee🤣🤣🤣 I'm dying from laughing
You can tell Richard Burton hated that whole thing as much as Elizabeth Taylor loved it.
Same as they did when lucy and Ricky were handcuffed in an I love lucy episode.
Splendid as allways
Genius
Funny, elegant, gold....
I remember watching this episode when it originally aired. Very funny and classic.
I really did love lucy.
very very funny
Lucy was an absolute comic genius. At that time it was hilarious & still holds up well.
Her company produced..The Untouchables & others. What a clever lady!
Burton hated doing this, use the word "reduced". His expression is one of contempt. Taylor seemed happier & is very funny in the 'extra' hand scene.
Wow Liz must have been tanning a lot back then
Very funny Lucy's hand.
peace and love n
Sigh! If it weren't for old programs on youtube and old movies on bluray/dvd I would have no use for my tv (it's attached to my computer.)

I agree completely. I feel the same way.
The bad feeling afterwards..I hear you!
I totally agree with you about this. I barely watch TV at all.
Richard and Elizabeth have better tans than the.americans
Thank you to upload it again!!!
Lizzie Burton .
.
This is just so funny. I taped it @ 30 years ago and still have it.
That may be the first time a ring got an ovation from a sitcom audience.
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️

They did sound different then too.
Super sympa-Super drôle-Merci
Burton really was the king of cool. His gestures and walk are completely fabulous.
He looks really irritated. He's really slumming in these.
@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 It's just Burton playing himself...that's how he was IRL.
LOL It's too funny

OMG YES!!
E linda a Taylor ! Mas mais linda ainda quando era branquinha.
That curtain scene is so so funny
When I was having my daughter the doctor told me I looked like Elizabeth Taylor I said I should be so lucky 😂
Oh i think he meant Elizabeth Taylor who worked behind the meat counter at the mall - i see a resemblance too if im being honest
Oops - Lucy then he liked her at the end
Splendid! Do you know what year this was per chance?
It was filmed on Mars in 1783 🐹🐸🐸👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👾👾👾😷😷😷🚶🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃
Thanks
It as just dawned on me why Richard and Elizabeth had such a fiery relationship one was welsh and the other English and never the twain and all that
