This time out, Richard Burton was rehearsing an episode for next season's Here's Lucy TV series, and as he told the story, it was "terrible to work with two big stars" like Lucille Ball and his wife Elizabeth Tayor.

Her doomed wail, "Oh my God, the King is mad!" almost redeems the whole overblown epic...
