I Love Lucy (TV Series) The Adagio (1951) User Reviews

Lucy gets a taste of Les Miserables, or at least its namesake.

With Lucy determined to get a job in Ricky show performing an Apache dance, she gets the help of Fred and Ethel who brings in a real-life Frenchman (named Jean Valjean Raymond) who must hide from Ricky when he unexpectedly returns home, and when the truth is revealed, the two pretend to have a gunfight dual to teach Lucy a lesson. Shepard Menken, a very talented voice actor, plays Jean Valjean Raymond and is very funny. Unfortunately, the Apache dance is never performed in the episode outside Fred trying to show her how it is done. It still has a few good laughs and of course it hysterical pay off.

Fred and Lucy are the best part

The only thing I like about the episode is Fred teaches Lucy the dance for Rick's act. These two rarely have scenes together and they work well together.

One of the worst episodes...

Fred and Lucy dancing was hilarious! I felt they should've done more with those two, as opposed to a constant Lucy & Ethel. However, the French man story was very lame and too ridiculous to even be funny. Totally unbelievable, and the duel between him and Ricky was almost unwatchable. One of the worst segments in an otherwise amazing series.
