Colorized return of ‘I Love Lucy’ makes big screen appearance on Bainbridge

A special revamp of five episodes of “I Love Lucy” — now in color and with never-before-seen bonus content — will play at Bainbridge Cinemas at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6.

The episodes will be shown in the original aspect ratio of 4:3. Additionally, a mini-poster (approximately 100 per screening location) will be sent ahead to be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

The episodes on tap are:

“Million Dollar Idea”: Lucy and Ethel go into business making salad dressing based on Lucy’s Aunt Martha’s recipe. Their advertising on a local TV show looks like a success, but when Ricky finds that they’re losing money on each jar, the girls have to find a way to get their customers to cancel their orders.

“Lucy Does a TV Commercial”: In this classic episode, Lucy has angled her way onto Ricky’s special as the show’s pitch girl. She advertises a medicine called “Vitameatavegamin.” Believing it contains vitamins, minerals, meat and vegetables, Lucy does not know is that it also contains 23 percent of alcohol. Hilarity ensues.

“Pioneer Woman”: The girls revolt over housework and want modern conveniences. The boys bet that they can survive longer than the girls without using anything invented after 1900, including electricity.

“Job Switching”: After Ricky and Fred get upset about the girls’ spending, Lucy and Ethel go to work in a candy factory while the boys do the housework.

“LA at Last!”: When the Ricardos and the Mertzes arrive in Hollywood, Lucy goes to the Brown Derby restaurant where her sighting of William Holden turns catastrophic.
