Brock Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 ...Sally Struthers, Bill Bixby, Adrienne Barbosom, Jack Carter, Nina Foch, etc. The fantastic TV movie is on YouTube. Watch it. It's great! Viv's a riot -- and she narrates too! She had more talent in her little finger than most people have in their whole body! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0Ixz8i6Cvw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 SPOILER ALERT do not read this post unless you've seen the movie . . . I remember watching this average TV movie when it first aired. Houdini got punched here in Montreal while touring McGill University and died within days, he wasn't ready for the punch and it did serious damage to his internal organs. The ending was sad, he and his wife had a message they had relayed to each other after his death, only she knew the message and he had lost faith in psychics when they could not let him reach his mother after her death and apparently the same thing happened to Houdini's wife, no message ever got through, but according to Viv at the end, she says she thinks it did.

HarryCarter Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 That was so great to finally see! Vivian was terrific in it. I think she should have gotten an Emmy nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C L A U D E Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I had never seen it before. You just have to get out more. You should have asked me for a copy. I may not be a Lucy Bible book writer like YOU but i have been known to copy a Lucy thing or two over the decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONALISAISMONALUCY Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 It is nice to see this film again with new appreciation than when I saw it premiered on television eons of years ago. Vivian Vance was better in this film than I remembered it. It was nice to see a cast of familiar faces like Nina Foch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Hepburn Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 But i dun't thin there were that many to begin with you know. Ever see The Great Race? That's the sad thing, she was in so few movies. I wish more of her non-Lucy TV work would show up, especially her appearance on Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Bumped in honour of Viv's birthday. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it now. My personal favourite non-Lucy performance of Viv's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
