Olga is conducting her monthly assessment...
I modeled Olga after the actress Lavelle Roby, who I was really taken with as the madam in Russ Meyer’s Finders, Keepers, Lovers, Weepers. She also had a small role in Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and (Trekkie that I am) I should mention she had a cameo as a Starfleet admiral in Star Trek Voyager. 
The character Olga is a nod to the B-movie trilogy Olga’s Girls, Olga’s House of Shame and White Slaves of Chinatown, played brilliantly by Audrey CampbelI. I’d previously done a two-page comic about Olga’s Girls in Cinema Sewer Volume Four and thought I might use the character in my own story. But I didn’t want to simply lift Campbell and drop her into The Tissue Paper Desperado. The character in this story is really quite different than the Olga of the films, who was basically the personification of pure evil. My Olga is simply a business woman- neither good nor evil.

LUCY COMPETES WITH CAROL BURNETT
S2;E24 ~ March 2, 1970
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Directed by Jay Sandrich ~ Written by Lou Derman and Larry Rhine
Synopsis
Lucy's old friend Carol Krausmeyer (Carol Burnett) has entered a secretary beauty pageant. In a competitive mood, Lucy puts aside her reservations and enters the contest too!
Regular Cast
Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Desi Arnaz Jr. (Craig Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter)
Guest Cast
Tumblr media
Carol Burnett (Carol Krausmeyer) got her first big break on “The Paul Winchell Show” in 1955. A years later she was a regular on “The Garry Moore Show.” In 1959 she made her Broadway debut in Once Upon a Mattress, which she also appeared in on television three times. From 1960 to 1965 she did a number of TV specials, and often appeared with Julie Andrews. Her second Broadway musical was Fade Out – Fade In which ran for more than 270 performances. From 1967 to 1978 she hosted her own highly successful variety show, “The Carol Burnett Show.” Lucille Ball made several appearances on “The Carol Burnett Show.” Burnett guest starred in four episodes of “The Lucy Show” and three episodes of “Here’s Lucy,” only once playing herself. After Lucille Ball’s passing, Burnett was hailed as the natural heir to Lucy’s title of ‘The Queen of TV Comedy.’
Tumblr media
Robert Alda (Himself) originated the role of Sky Masterson in Broadway’s Guys and Dolls, winning the 1951 Tony Award. He is the father of Alan Alda of “M*A*S*H” fame. He made one appearance on the “The Lucy Show,” and this is the first of his three episodes of “Here's Lucy.” The next time he guest stars will be when “Lucy Goes Hawaiian” Part One and Part Two. Alda died in 1986.
Tumblr media
Buddy Lewis (Cafeteria Customer) makes the first of his three appearances on “Here's Lucy.”  
Tumblr media
Vanda Barra (Cafeteria Cashier) was married to Sid Gould so is Lucille Ball’s cousin-in-law. This is just one of her over two dozen appearances on “Here’s Lucy” as well as appearing in Ball’s two 1975 TV movies “Lucy Gets Lucky” (with Dean Martin) and “Three for Two” (with Jackie Gleason). She was seen in half a dozen episodes of “The Lucy Show.”
Barra has no lines, but a very funny bit of business with her cash register.
Harvey Stone (Cafeteria Chef) was born just three weeks after Lucille Ball in 1911. He had appeared in two plays at New Jersey’s Paper Mill Playhouse in 1968. This is the second of his two appearances on the series, both directed by Jay Sandrich. In 1974 Stone died of a heart attack while performing on a cruise ship and was buried at sea.
Stone receives screen credit, but has no lines or business; he merely mills about in the background of the cafeteria. Since there is a quite noticeably edit in the scene, his contribution may have been cut for time.
Sid Gould (Contest Stage Hand) made more than 45 appearances on “The Lucy Show,” and nearly as many on “Here’s Lucy.” Gould (born Sydney Greenfader) was Lucille Ball’s cousin by marriage to Gary Morton.
Tumblr media
Francine Pyne (Miss 'Al's Bail Bonds') makes the final of her nine screen appearances with this episode.
Pyne is the only contestant that Robert Alda does not address by name.
Tumblr media
Lavelle Roby (Lavelle Roby, Miss 'Cohn's Kosher Kitchen') makes her only series appearance in a career with nearly 50 screen credits.  
In the talent portion of the contest, Roby (briefly) plays the upright bass.  In the first draft of the script (before casting) she was referred to as Wilma Jones.
Tumblr media
Tonia Izu (Tonia Izu, 'Miss Joe's Body Shop') makes her only screen appearance with this episode.
In the contest, she gives the “What America Means to Me” recitation. She is the only contestant to speak dialogue. In the first draft of the script (before casting) she was referred to as Ching Soo. 
Tumblr media
Joan Carey (Pageant Audience Member, uncredited) appeared in the background of “I Love Lucy,” “The Lucy Show,” and “Here’s Lucy.” She also was a stand-in for Lucille Ball. [Thanks to The Lucy Lounge for this information!]
Other audience members, cafeteria employees, and customers are played by uncredited background performers.
Tumblr media
Although unheard of today, the idea of corporate beauty contests was not unheard of in mid-20th century America. Mainly comprised of secretarial pools, female employees competed for trophies and community recognition at a variety of large companies. 
Tumblr media
When announcing their contest for Miss Sperry (electronics) in 1958, a representative enthused, “Who knows, she may win the Miss America title!” The Miss Rheingold (beer) competition reported that 800 contestants had entered, “including a number of Negro models, three of whom lasted until the final eliminations.”  In 1971, a year after this episode first aired, the Miss America Pageant had its first black contestant, but it would’t have a black winner until 1984 when Vanessa Williams was crowned.
Tumblr media
This is the final episode of season two and the last episode directed by Jay Sandrich. The season ended with the show #6 in the Nielsen Ratings with a 23.9 share, up slightly from season one. The First Draft of the Script was dated October 22, 1969. The Final Draft of the script was dated November 18, 1969. 
There are several alternate titles of this episode: “Lucy and Carol Burnett,” “Lucy and Carol Burnett: Part 2,” and “Secretary Beautiful.”  Burnett appeared during season one in an episode which was also titled “Lucy and Carol Burnett.” Burnett will also appear during season three when the episode will again be titled “Lucy and Carol Burnett.” Clearly writing clever titles was not a high priority!
Tumblr media
This episode was originally written with film star Don Ameche in mind to play the contest judge. Earlier in 1970, Ameche had appeared on “Julia” and “Petticoat Junction.” The script was revised when the role was recast with Ross Martin, who had just finished a long run on “The Wild, Wild West.”  
Tumblr media
But that was short-lived. Presumably Martin was not available or declined the role. He went on, however, to perform in two season three episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” The role eventually went to Robert Alda. 
Tumblr media
This episode first aired on Desi Arnaz Sr.'s 53rd birthday. He was now re-married to Edith Mack Hirsch and making occasional appearances on talk and variety programs. 
Tumblr media
Later that night, a new episode of “The Carol Burnett Show” aired on CBS which was written by Bob Schiller and Bob Weiskopf, two of the writers of “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show.”  The sketches included a salute to Universal Studios guest-starring Jane Connell, who would play Gooch in Lucy’s Mame in 1974.  
Tumblr media
Krausmeyer is the same last name as the music teacher played by Hans Conried on Lucille Ball's radio show "My Favorite Husband."
The scene in the cafeteria opens with the musical theme from “The Carol Burnett Show” titled “I'm So Glad We Had This Time Together” written by Joe Hamilton, who was married to Burnett from 1963 to 1984. 
Carol Krausmeyer says she used to work as a secretary for “zippy old Zimmerman, the wolf of Wilshire Boulevard.”  Harry Zimmerman was the musical director of “The Carol Burnett Show.”
Tumblr media
When Lucy compares beauty contests to horse shows, Carol sarcastically says “Well comb out my tail and call me Mr. Ed.”  Probably the most famous horse on television, “Mr. Ed” was a show about a talking palomino that aired from 1958 to 1966 on CBS. It was shot at the same studio as “Here's Lucy.”  
Tumblr media
Kim quickly mentions that Rodney Dawson asked her out. In “Lucy and the Bogie Affair” (S2;E13) Kim promises to go the prom and the spring formal with Freddy Dawson (who she calls “the creature from the Black Lagoon”). The surname Dawson has been used in both “The Lucy Show” and “I Love Lucy,” when young Peggy Dawson (Janet Waldo, above) had a teenage crush on Ricky in “The Young Fans” (ILL S1;E20).
Tumblr media
The show takes a surreal turn when Lucy hears the condescending voice of Carol (as well as her cackling laughter) in her head while at home talking to her children about the pageant.
Tumblr media
When Harry sees Lucy balancing the telephone book on her head, he says “Well, Miss America.” No episode about a beauty contest would be complete without a mention of The Miss America Pageant, a beauty (now scholarship) pageant that was first held in 1921 and continues today. Later, Robert Alda mentions Bert Parks (1914-92, inset photo), a singer and TV personality who hosted the Miss American Pageant from 1955 to 1979. In 1970, Cheryl Browne became the first African-American woman to compete for the Miss America title.
Tumblr media
Harry brags the he directed all of his college musicals – “a dozen of them, at least!” He then instructs Lucy on the finer points of walking like a beauty queen “as if you're wading through a sea of whipped cream.” As Harry struts and poses, the soundtrack plays “A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody.” The  song was first heard on “I Love Lucy” when Lucy Ricardo, dressed in an over-sized headpiece, clumsily played a showgirl in “Lucy Gets Into Pictures” (ILL S4;E18). It was written by Irving Berlin in 1919 and became the theme song of Broadway’s long-running Ziegfeld Follies. However, the tune was not included in the 1946 MGM film Ziegfeld Follies, which starred Lucille Ball. Instead, it ended up in Paramount’s Blue Skies starring Fred Astaire, also in 1946. During season one, Lucy would do an impromptu fashion show to the song in “Lucy's Working Daughter” (S1;E10).  
Tumblr media
When Carol catches Harry demonstrating the ‘beauty pageant walk’ she kids him by saying “Don’t look now, but your seams are crooked.” Harry takes a quick glance at the back of his trousers, snarls at Carol and leaves. Before the advent of pantyhose, nylon stockings would often have a seam that ran up the back of a leg.  A woman wanting to look her best would always assure those seams were perfectly straight!  Seamless stockings had been around since the 1920s, but were costly. During wartime, when nylon was in short supply, women would often draw the seams on the back of their bare legs. 
Tumblr media
Throughout the episode, Lucille Ball is obviously delighted and amused by Carol Burnett’s performance. 
Tumblr media
In order to find out what kind of women Robert Alda likes, Carol disguises herself as flower child reporter ‘Penny Pritchard’ from “Anti-Everything Magazine.” During her interview with Alda, she continually refers to the female contestants as ‘dolls’. This is probably intentional in order to remind us of Alda’s Tony-winning role as Sky Masterson in the hit Broadway musical Guys and Dolls (1951).  
Tumblr media
To spy on Carol and Alda, Lucy disguises herself as a charwoman, one who is the spitting image of the character Carol Burnett often played on her television show and was eventually animated for the show's opening credit sequence. When Carol asks how Lucy thought up such a goofy outfit, Lucy replies “from some goofy dame on TV.” Carol says “Well, she must be some kind of nut!”
Tumblr media
About Lucy's figure, Carol says “Compared to you, Tiny Tim looks like Raquel Welch.”  Tiny Tim was a thin, stringy-haired singer who found fame on “Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In” and is most famous for his song “Tiptoe Through the Tulips.”  By contrast, Raquel Welch was a voluptuous, sexy movie star.  Welch was previously mentioned on “Lucy and Johnny Carson” (S2;E11) and as Jack Benny’s Palm Spring neighbor in the second episode of the series.  
Tumblr media
Lucy snidely says Carol won a Yogi Berra look-alike contest. Yogi Berra (1925-2015) was a professional baseball catcher, who later became a manager and coach. Berra was NOT known for his movie star good looks.  
Tumblr media
In the contest, Carol wears a sash that reads “Horton, Dorton, Gorton, Norton [on the back] and Morton.”  Morton was Lucille Ball's married name from her 1961 wedding to Gary Morton, who is also a “Here's Lucy” producer. Lucy's sash simply says “Carter Co.” probably because “Unique Employment Agency” was too long for the sash and the gag of continuing the name on the reverse was given to Carol. To add to the comedy, Lucy loses a heel on her entrance - which she uses to stop Carol’s condescending laughter! 
Tumblr media
In her “What America Means to Me” recitation in front of a large map, Carol says “We acquired Alaska because of her blubber and Hawaii because of Don Ho.” Don Ho (1930-2007) was a Hawaiian singer and TV personality who is best known for singing “Tiny Bubbles,” a song that Craig (Desi Arnaz Jr.) will sing in Ho's inimitable style when Lucy Carter cruises to Hawaii in 1971. 
Tumblr media
In her recitation about Christopher Columbus, Lucy says that he “sailed to America on three ships: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Anita.” Of course, she means to say Santa Maria, but Carol has just dashed her index cards to the floor so she is flustered. Santa Anita is a racetrack in Southern California. It was first mentioned by Fred (William Frawley) in “Ricky Minds the Baby” (ILL S3;E14) in 1954. 
LUCY CARTER: “Columbus got his funding from the trip from Queen Ferdinand. No, no, no. I think the queen was Isabella. I’m not sure about Ferdinand.” 
Blathering on, Lucy says that if Columbus had not discovered America we wouldn't have CBS, the Columbus Broadcasting System!  Of course, she means the Columbia Broadcasting System, the network that aired all of Lucille Ball's sitcoms before 1980. It seems Lucy has turned into a regular Mrs. Malaprop!
Tumblr media
In the talent portion of the contest, Carol does the “Tarzan Yell” that Burnett made famous on her TV show. Burnett did the yell when she first appeared on “The Lucy Show.”  Lucy's talent (of course) is playing the saxophone, something Lucille Ball learned during “I Love Lucy.”  Usually, when called upon to play the saxophone, Lucille Ball either plays “Sweet Sue” or “Glow Worm,” but for the first time she (tentatively) plays “Little Brown Jug,” a song written in 1869 by Joseph Eastburn Winner. It earns a round of applause from the studio audience, who realize that Ball is actually playing the instrument, not miming.
Tumblr media
SPOILER ALERT! The contest ends in a tie. To find out between who - you’ll have to watch the episode! The first prize is a new electric typewriter!   
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Miss America Pageant was first mentioned by Lucy Ricardo while trying to think of a way of getting Ricky’s name in the papers during “The Publicity Agent” (ILL S1;E31) in 1952:  
ETHEL MERTZ:  “How about letting Ricky win a title like Miss America?��� LUCY RICARDO: “He doesn’t have the right measurements.”  
Instead, she pretends to be the Maharincess of Franistan! 
Tumblr media
The Miss America Pageant is mentioned again when Ethel tries to bolster Lucy’s sagging ego after hearing “Ricky’s Old Girlfriend” (ILL S3;E12) is in town.
ETHEL MERTZ: “Frankly, I can't understand why you were never chosen Miss America.” 
Tumblr media
Ricky and Fred are scheduled to judge a beauty contest in “Desert Island” (ILL S6;E8) until Lucy schemes to keep them safely away - or so she thinks! 
RICKY RICARDO: “What time is it, Fred?” FRED MERTZ: “It’s half-past bathing beauty!” 
FAST FORWARD! 
Tumblr media
Carol Krausmeyer returns in a season 3 episode that has the pair putting on a movie-themed revue to help unemployed actors. 
Tumblr media
In “The Not-So-Popular Mechanics” (S5;E22), Harry drools over his vintage Rolls Royce. 
LUCY CARTER: “I haven’t seen that expression on his face since he judged the Miss Borego Springs beauty contest.”  
Tumblr media
Where the Floor Ends! In the office scene, the camera pulls out too far and we can see where the Unique Employment Agency carpet ends and becomes concrete soundstage floor.
Choppy Edit!  In the cafeteria scene, when Lucy says “Happy baby!” to the Customer the Chef is behind her. When the scene immediately cuts to Carol, the Chef is behind Carol, several feet away from where he was a second ago.
Tumblr media
Oops! When Carol's torn map is pushed offstage, a portion of it falls on the floor and stays there while Alda enters. During the next few lines, someone slowly drags it off stage.  
Sitcom Logic Alert! It is odd that when Carol knocks Lucy's index cards out of her hands, Lucy doesn't simply pick them up!  
Tumblr media
Halfsies?  Since the contest is a tie, it is unclear how they will divide up the typewriter.
Tumblr media
“Lucy Competes with Carol Burnett” rates 4 Paper Hearts out of 5 
Any episode with Carol Burnett is great fun to watch. Burnett had been doing her own show for more than two years and her confidence and comic timing are honed to perfection. Her evil eye to the cashier in the cafeteria is so funny that the studio audience bursts into applause thanks to Burnett's extended take. Retrospectively, it is interesting that the casting of the other three finalists is so racially diverse. It is probably intentional that the contest winner are the two minority contestants. Later that year, the first African-American would compete in The Miss America Pageant, so Lucy is ahead of the times!

'Más allá del valle de las muñecas' ('Beyond the valley of the dolls'), Russ Meyer, 1970.
‘El valle de los placeres’, 1979, making of, VO.
Making of de la película de culto de Russ Meyer, con guion de Roger Ebert y Russ Meyer sobre una historia del director.
Con la presencia de Dolly Read, Cynthia Myers, Marcia McBroom, John Lazar, Michael Blodgett, Pam Grier, Edy Williams, David Gurian, Phyllis Davis, Erica Gavin y Lavelle Roby entre otros.
'Above, beneath’.
'Beyond the Valley: The making of a musical horror sex comedy’.

'Not quite Hollywood: The wild, untold story of ozploitation!’, Mark Hartley, 2008, VOSE.
Invitado en calidad de fan el mismísimo Quentin Tarantino no duda en amenazarnos con el peor de los infiernos si no acabamos encantados con este documental consagrado al cine de exploitation australiano.
Su entusiasmo, y el del resto de excepcionales invitados, al glosar los méritos de un puñado de artistas que convirtieron la Australia de los años 70 y 80 en un paraíso de cine de género, es tan elocuente como extremadamente contagioso.
'Not quite Hollywood’ radiografía a mil por hora una ��poca repleta de desnudos frontales, explosiones, casquería, monumentales carreras de coches, sustos de primera y, sobre todo, de mucha ilusión, humor e ingenio.
Coloquio. VO, SE en YouTube.
‘Los ojos de Ariana’, Ricardo Macián, 2007, VOSE.
Cuenta la historia de cómo algunos de los trabajadores del Afghan Film, la Filmoteca Nacional de Afghanistan, salvaron de la destrucción el archivo fílmico de su país, escondiéndolo en dobles techos que construyeron ellos mismos ante la constante amenaza del Gobierno Talibán, arriesgando sus vidas para que los ojos de Ariana no se cerraran para siempre.

'Moebius redux: A life in pictures’ (‘Moebius redux: Das leben von Jean Giraud’), Hasko Baumann, 2007, VE.
Presenta un recorrido por la vida de Jean Moebius Giraud trabajando y narrando sobre su vida y obra, con comentarios de:
Alejandro Jodorowsky sobre la adaptación de ‘Dune’; Mike Joseph Mignola (‘Hellboy’) y Enki Bilal (‘Immortel, ad vitam’); Philippe Druillet, dibujante de fantástico y ciencia ficción; Jim Lee, guionista y diseñador de uniformes de los X-Men y creador de nuevos personajes como Gámbito; Stan Lee (Spider-Man, etc); Hans Ruedi Giger (Alien); Dan O'Bannon, creador de FX, guionista y director.
‘Capturing Reality. The art of documentary’, Pepita Ferrari, 2008, VO.
Tumblr media
'Los Angeles plays Itself', Thom Andersen, 2003, VO.
Hay lugares donde puede que no hayas estado nunca, pero que te resultan familiares porque los has visto en miles de fotos o películas. Los Ángeles, por ejemplo, es una de las ciudades más filmadas del mundo. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que la ficción tiene un gran potencial documental, Andersen intenta convencernos de que podemos ver el cine desde otro punto de vista. El resultado es un análisis provocativo sobre nuestra capacidad de ver películas.
‘Los aristócratas’, Paul Provenza, 2005, VOSE.
Siempre se ha dicho que hay infinitas formas de contar un mismo chiste, una teoría que intenta comprobar el documental en el que su director buscó cien comediantes para que diesen su versión del que ha sido el chiste “oculto” del gremio por años. Se trata de un chiste que por su contenido obsceno ha sido autocensurado por los propios comediantes que prácticamente nunca han hecho uso de el en sus presentaciones en vivo. Personajes como Drew Carey, Jason Alexander, Andy Dick, Carrie Fisher, Whoopi Goldberg, Paul Reiser, Jon Stewart, Chris Rock y Robin Williams son algunos de los participan en este documental sacando a la luz el gran secreto de los comediantes.
Tumblr media
‘Nagisa Oshima: Cien años de cine japonés’ ('Nagisa Oshima: 100 years of japanese cinema’), Nagisa Oshima, 1995, VOSE.
Si la historia del cine francés de Godard para la serie del BFI 'Century of Cinema’ fue polémica, la de Oshima sobre el cine japonés fue realmente controvertida.
La serie comienza con el cine mudo, sigue con los dramas de los 30, el auge del militarismo y los efectos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en la industria cinematográfica, la edad dorada de la posguerra, la llegada de la Nueva Ola y la aparición de directores independientes, desde Terayama o Kitano hasta Yoshimitsu Morita o Yoichi Sai.
