COMPANY RECREATES ‘I LOVE LUCY’ GRAPE STOMPING SCENE



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – Do fans of I Love Lucy love the show so much that they would stand ankle deep in a wine vat full of grapes for the show’s 50th anniversary? An entertainment company called SFX is recreating sets from several famous episodes of the show – including the Italian grape stomping scene. The company will use original props and costumes to recreate famous Lucy scenes such as the candy factory, the Tropicana nightclub and the “Vita- meata-vegamin” set. A spokesman for SFX says fans will be able to put their feet in a vat of grapes and crush them just like Lucille Ball once did for the show. The sets will tour the U.S. starting next month, and some fans may have the honor of being filmed for a 50th anniversary special that will air on CBS later this year.
