- TriviaPer the title, Charles Boyer was the French lead actor who starred in many Hollywood movies from the 1930's to the 1970's. If, in contemporary times, he might be most famous for his performance in Gaslight (1944) with Ingrid Bergman, he was already long famous as a romantic hero in exquisite films such as Love Affair (1939) (later remade as the lesser, yet somehow better known: An Affair to Remember (1957)), and the charming Hold Back the Dawn (1941) with Olivia de Havilland. In addition, Boyer had also co-starred opposite Rita Hayworth in one of the most compelling short stories in the multi-plot Tales of Manhattan (1942), which boasted an all-star cast.

This episode however is more on the just okay side but it definitely has it's moments. Another time Lucy sees a favorite star and Ricky tries to distract her . I think the plot is so so and the humor isn't as strong but I rate it a little higher because Boyer has a great attitude and makes fun of himself and his romantic image. One of the more humble guest stars on I Love Lucy.
