The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour

The last filmed episode of Lucy Meets the Mustache (1960) was the last time Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz would work together. Immediately after filming, Lucille Ball filed for divorce. This episode - and the background drama of these 2 - had been subsequently talked about. (Edie Adams discussed in detail that during the filming - and especially whilst she was singing, Lucy's eyes were visibly red... from crying. Though Ms Adams says no one on the set discussed, or even knew exactly what was going on).

A crucial scene from The Celebrity Next Door (1957) has been omitted on TV broadcasts as well as from the video version, even from the so-called complete prints titled "We Love Lucy". Fred gets splattered with strawberry pie, he retreats to the kitchen with Ethel, and Lucy says how humiliated she is. Tallulah Bankhead quickly & personally said "Oh, forget it darling. This is my lucky night, I'm allergic to strawberries. They give me hives!" Lucy and Tallulah then banter back and forth for a moment. The tail end of this scene is missing in recent prints, where Ricky asks if Tallulah would like some coffee. This brief missing scene sets up what happens among the final scenes, where Tallulah Bankhead broke out in hives.
