Hello,
I watched "I love Lucy" yesterday for the first time in years. I saw the episode where Lucy was portraying various celebrities for her visiting friend, Carolyn Applebee, who had lost her eyeglasses. Well when Lucy decided to portray Harpo she was a little late because he had actually shown up. I loved that episode mainly because he played the harp so beautifully. Thank you for such an interesting website of info on him. I wouldn't have never known it existed if I hadn't seen 'I love Lucy"

Can you tell me why Harpo has his leg up for someone to hold it ? My grandson had seen it in a movie and asked me. Would appreciate your reply. Thank you.

Because it's funny???

Sorry...I really don't know, LOL! Anyone else out there have any insight?

I don't know "why", Harpo did this, Bert...but I do it all the time!- especially if we're out shopping on a Saturday!!!!!! Haha!!
Best wishes,
David

"lucy dvd box sets" knocking around in sales on the web at the mo'?...(I feel the episode would be worth the price of the box set!!!!!)Thanks for any help you can give!..ISN'T IT INCREDIBLE TO HEAR HARPO TALK??! And to see the colour "test film"(how did you find that, Cathy?!?)(Your harp playing is doing
extremely well----------HARPO WOULD BE PROUD!!!!!)
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give with the Lucy title!Bye for now - and - "God save the queen!!!"(HA!) David (Merrie Holland!)

Thank you so much David for your kind words and generosity
I believe the name of the episode was simply "Harpo Marx".
It was episode #125 aired in the fourth season, May 9, 1955.

There is a VHS set available called "The Best of I Love Lucy Volume 1" and that has the Harpo Marx episode on it. It is in NTSC format though, so you'd have to see if it would be compatible with your VCR.
You can find it at Amazon.com at

I read that there is a DVD set of the fourth season in the works also.

Here's where I got that info:

I love Harpo, and I love this site. If you are trying to get hold of any Marx Brothers material including loads of RARE TV appearances of Harpo and the brothers, including I Love Lucy, e-mail wboenig@aol.com. He has a huge collection, is very reliable and makes tapes for you, and you can pick what material you want on the tapes, they are custom made. He is a very reliable guy, and very good value.
