Same typewriter I learned on. Lol And we weren't allowed to cross our legs either. Makes your blood pressure go up. I was a secretary for 30 years and my blood pressure went down when I retired. The boss can elevate it just like crossing your legs! Lol
Elaine, I learned to type on a Royal as a high school freshman in 1969...made it to 100 wpm. My first typewriter was an Olivetti-Underwood portable, but nothing...and I mean nothing...sang like a Smith-Corona. It was like playing a 1959 Gibson Les Paul guitar.
@@allanmacmillan7823 Good grief - Royal / Underwood / Olivetti / Smith-Corona ....so many blasts from the past - thanks 😂. My fastest recorded speed was only 88wpm but with 100% accuracy - the examiner could not believe it and made me take the test again (with a different test document) - same result 100% accuracy! 😂😂
@@anaderol5408 It gets worse!!! I enlisted in the Navy in 1981 where, due to my advanced typing skills, I was assigned the rate of "Personnelman"...a glorified typist. We used the IBM Selectric II for all OCR documents. Hated the electric typewriter! Then one day in 1982...I was introduced to this new contraption from some company named Lanier. They called it a "Word Processor". And the typewriter died a quick, but painful death.
@@allanmacmillan7823 Oh yes - the transitions we had to endure - from needing to 'unstick' the keys because we typed too fast, to the short-lived electric - both the golf balls and the daisy wheels - to the introduction of the electronic with the one line screen - invariably I'd forget to remove the indentation... (the resultant letter would be somewhat artistic) - to the floppy disk WP - needing to enter the programme disk as well as the file disk......the first desktops which weighed a ton.... and we all knew DOS and were sometimes tempted to use *erase*. Now almost everywhere I go I take my MacBook Air and I only use about 20% of my iPhone's capability BUT, last week, whilst clearing out useless (to me) apps I discovered a nifty distance measuring app - with a little practice less frustrating than a tape measure!!
Thanks for the upload, I'm a huge fan of I Love Lucy, my favorite show of all time, but I've only seen a few of Lucille Ball's movies, she had been in movies since 1931 before starring in ILL w/hubby Desi Arnaz. Lucy was a pin-up girl during WW2, my 85-year-old father had photos of her on his bedroom wall, along with Hedy Lamarr and Veronica Lake. Lucy had plenty of acting experience in movies & radio by the time she started in TV, but it was with I Love Lucy that she finally got the recognition she deserved--she and Desi became superstars, they ending up buying RKO studios, but by 1960 their marriage was falling apart and they divorced after 20 years. I'm glad we can still enjoy her talent all these years later.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. No wonder William Holden and Lucille Ball had such good chemistry in the I Love Lucy episode they starred in together. I saw a few nuances of their interaction with each other in the movie as well as that Brown Derby meeting episode. Their comedic timing was spot on. 👍❤️Thanks for sharing this movie with us. 🙏🏻🎬🎥🌴
I listen to Lucy every night on old Radio Theater her show, my Favorite Husband glad I found this Gem she makes every Movie Great We all miss you Lucy 💖❤💔💖
I'm a " Boomer " and I've never seen this before. I can't believe it wasn't shown on TV many times as I was growing up. It was a great comedy. Typical Lucille Ball shenanigans! Thanks for showing it here. I give it 4 Stars...
Manny j Im another boomer who loves old movies, cant believe in all the years of hunting down golden oldies, this one has just now surfaced, wish we had more pull to get mainstream to stop all the low class filth thats being peddled as entertainment today. Thanks for being one of those that loves the really good stuff!👍
Filmed in 1949. I suppose this qualifies me 2 as a babyboomer, having not been born till 1953 !!! When Barbara stanwick received an honorary Oscar from the academy awards she deicated it to (her Golden boy!!!!!) I two tying on my great aunti- maymes old time hunt & peck typewritter. Later came the electric with self correcting but those always failed!!! Then the I. B. M. Electric and man, they were heavyweight!!! Nowadays just computors, & More & more computors!!!! You don't even have to know the alphabet on the keyboard, but I had it memorized and typed 125 words a minute!!!!!! Wheeeeh, makes me dizzy just thinking about it. Thanks for posting this hilarious fun time flick by our Lucy!!!!
Yes, there used to be old Movies on regular broadcast TV in the 70s a lot. And I don't remember this either. A good one. It's something how there used to be more entertainment on 3 Channels, than You can find now with one of those 100 Channel Cable packages, I got rid of Cable several years ago, a senseless waste of Money, the good stuff is on here!
@@katherinehogan578 Apparently you don't understand what "boomer" means. It is the American generation after WW2. 1946 to 1966. The over-lap of those born 1960 to 1966 are also Gen X.
I really enjoyed seeing this movie and I am sure was my first time. I was born in 1953. Like someone already commented, this is Lucy before she became "Lucy". I have seen pictures of when Lucy was young just starting out in acting and she was really good looking. I think I remember reading she wanted to initially become the typical movie star actress, but comedy is where she made it big. Really glad to have found this on UA-cam.
I was born the same year as you and remember watching I Love Lucy with my parents in the mid 50s when I was probably 3 or 4 years old on a TV my father actually built using an oscilloscope tube! He was an electronics guy who got most of his advanced training in the air force during WW2. I was wedged between my parents with our faces literally 2 feet away from the screen. In this movie you can see Lucy's comedic chops honed to perfection and getting ready for the new TV era.
@@ralphd.4857 I agree. Interesting hearing about the TV your Dad built. I remember my Dad taking our TV in to the TV repair shop at times replacing tubes in the back. My Dad was in the Air Force and Army Air Corps from 1944-1958 and also learned electronics from them that became his career. He was stationed at Scott Air Force base in Illinois, but for one year from mid 1956 to mid 1957 he worked overseas in Newfoundfounland so my mom and I moved to out 1950s home until 1960 by ourself close to her parents in St. Louis. My Dad was from Warren, Ohio, and most of this travelling was prior to Scoot starting there in 1949.
You know everyone always talks about Lucy's comic timing but I think her acting timing is so underrated! Every single scene comedy or not her delivery and timing and pace is pretty much perfect! Even more impressive than some of the movie greats in my opinion. It always seems so natural to her. I think her acting is just incredible and so underrated.
This movie has stood the test of time. Still very clever and funny in 2023! One of the best Lucille Ball movies ever. Bill Holden plays off of her very well also. Sure wish that he had done more comedy movies. 😉😊🙃
I knew Bill Holden in Sunset Boulevard and The Wild Bunch, didn’t know he was in a comedy with Lucille Ball (not counting the famous I Love Lucy episode he guest starred in) until a few years ago. Bill was superb in Sunset Boulevard, but he does a fine job in a lighter role in this wonderful little film. Lucy was beautiful and talented. Shouldn’t come as a surprise why so many Americans loved her for decades.
Lucy was one of the best comedic talents ever, as well as hot as a lit match! Holden could do comedy, drama, thrillers and, he was handsome as heck. Thanks for the movie....
Lucille Ball was starting her own way of acting a long time ago wasn't she ? She was such a great actress and a comedian . I laughed when her and those women started moving those strings . HAHAHA...!! Thanks for sharing this movie !! 💖
Wow! Saw this _one_ time on a Saturday when rain washed-out the day's planned activities. Must be more'n thirty years ago. Thank you for making this available.
By the way, I forgot to tell Ani thank you so much for taking your time to upload this wonderfully deligtful video! I appreciate the clarity and good sound quality immensnsly!! Pura vida ....
Lucille Ball and William Holden on I Love Lucy - "Hollywood at Last"(or something like that) it was incredibly funny and got so many laughs in 20 minutes.
At 1:06:49 the hilarious Miss Lucille Ball strikes again. She is my absolute favourite dyed red headed comedienne who cracks me up every time again and again and again. I absolutely adored her. No one could beat her comedic genius and carry it off the way she could with such a straight face and the grand finale at 1:24:53 the most absolutely priceless of all.
@@paulcaron400 Lived to 102 years old. Born in 1905, died in 2007. Couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling career for him. Made a number of appearances on I Love Lucy/Lucy Desi Comedy Hour, and a whole bunch of movies in small roles.
What a cutie! story line, Lucy, everybody was great!👍💥💥💥💥⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️lets hope there are a few more gems out there just waiting to be discovered! Thanks so much for posting!
That’s Robert Osborne at the end there. He was on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) for a long while before his passing. He was a part of Lucy’s Workshop at Desilu Studios back in the late 1950’s, so it makes sense why he was so fond of her.
Lucille before Lucy, but already Lucy ! If we know why Richmond takes Miss Grant, we also know why Miss Grant takes Richmond. William Holden was a dish !
Did you ever see the episode where Lucy, Fred and Ethel go the the Brown Derby for lunch and William Holden ends up sitting in the next booth? If you are a Lucy fan, you have likely seen it. It is one of the funniest episodes ever!
@@WILLIAMCHANEL He was also in the episode Lucy Goes to the Hospital. He was in the waiting room - expecting his last child, had 6 girls and was hoping for a boy. Well, this last time he had 3 girls totaling 9! Great episode.
The phone booth scene was hilarious,and perhaps " typical" of future " I Love Lucy" antics?! William Holden was both a very good dramatic and humorous actor,besides,quite obviously,a very handsome actor.Thank you,for showing,sharing this movie! Nancy,Missouri.
Good lord I remember typing class juj juj juj..and short hand class!😂😳 Sickens me what landlords still do to there paying tenants! The slap scene was hysterical! 🤣😂😅
This Lucille Ball film must have been the template for "I Love Lucy" show 2 years later in 1951. The typewriter school debacle and Lucy at the building site trying to light a cigarette after using the drilling machine, is the prototype of the Lucy Ricardo character , and her physical comedy we grew up loving.
Starting at 8:47, the typing instructor asked William Holden which woman will he choose and he said "that girl". Being slightly confused, the instructor asked again which girl. Then William reapeated, "that girl". Lol, in my mind, I was expecting the words That Girl to flash over a freeze frame of Lucy's face, and hearing the theme music from the classic '60s TV show, THAT GIRL. 😆
I seem to notice a lot of Movies that I'd never seen over the Years, there are a lot still put away somewhere I guess that don't get out up for legal or other reasons I guess, then there are some You have to pay some service for, but I think Old Movies and TV Shows are even more available than back then when You had to go see the Movie, or wait for it to come on TV. I organize myself a whole day of entertainment on YT, Movies in the day and TV Shows in the evening. I gave up Cable years ago.
Lucille ball was in a movie called " pinky with Henry fonder. I hope this channel plays it. It's a great movie. She was a great actress in the 1940s. Did a lot of movies. There all great movies and great acting. Hope you plY 'Pinky " .
Also, I learned Gregg Shorthand and typing in H.S. at 60wpm helped me get work and work my way through college f/t in NYC in accounting. As an African American, I was the first to graduate college in my family. The bookkeeping then entry level accounting jobs I received whilst still in college, working my way through, would not have been possible were it not for typing and shorthand classes I took in H.S.
The opening is delicious . Learning how to type and take shorthand gave young women a valuable job. I was in the first year of my state college degree in mass com and you had to be able to type at a certain speed with no mistakes etc. I had taken typing in highschool. I still have my modern electric Smith Corona machine and that troublesome ink reel.
Also excellent & funny in Dance Girl Dance. Maureen O'Hara was in that movie too and got billing over Lucille Ball. Lucy once commented that Maureen O'Hara was perfect. I always like O'Hara's acting, but liked Lucille even more in this movie. Better, dancer, funnier, and had more flair in the movie.
My absolute favorite was "Lured" 1947, with George Sanders, Charles Coburn, Cedric Hardwicke. Also Du Barry Was a Lady, and Easy to Wed, finally Big Street with Henry Fonda. Showed quite a range of her acting abilities. Then in the 1950's Forever Darling and Long Long Trailer; Yours Mind and Ours with Hank Fonda in 1968; finally Mame in 1974. While Forever Darling and Mame did not get great reviews I really enjoyed both of them.
I like the reference about Truman, He did once run a Men's Clothing Store, a haberdashery, with an Army Buddy (WW1) The Store didn't do so well and closed in 1922. Truman had an interesting number of other pursuits before entering politics!
My beautiful red headed Mom was proud of having been an executive secretary in the early 40s before becoming a mother.
Stunning woman & fabulous actress!
Never seen this old movie! My daughter,loves Lucy! Enjoyed very much!
240p (very poor picture quality) it's unwatchable.

Think I'll watch it again right now
Just had to watch this again...lucy is so funny
Everybody that was alive in 1950's ❤Lucy! 👍🙏🙏🙏
Incomparable!
"My rod, please. 😠"
Hands back the pencil sharpener 😂
This was made one year before "Sunset Blvd" with William Holden.
Made 2 years before Lucy's foray into television immortality.
I guess TCM never had this on before. Enjoyed
Back in the days when realtors actually thought about building affordable housing. Amazing how they lost that skill.
Also, I learned Gregg Shorthand and typing in H.S. at 60wpm helped me get work and work my way through college f/t in NYC in accounting. As an African American, I was the first to graduate college in my family. The bookkeeping then entry level accounting jobs I received whilst still in college, working my way through, would not have been possible were it not for typing and shorthand classes I took in H.S.
Congratulations..as an African Americans man I wish I had've paid attention while I was taking typing classes in JR.High School.
The classes work!!
I loved my typing and shorthand classes! Especially shorthand.
I too, took typing in HS and it helped this Latina through computer operations and then higher level work in IT (MIS in those days)...
As a White I Demand Reparations For The Slavery we were sold into...LONG BEFORE ANY BLACK AMERICANS...Look It UP !
$83 in postage at 3 cents in 1949 for a first class stamp is 2,766 stamps.
This movie had me laughing up a storm ⛈ dofur dofur 😂
The opening is delicious . Learning how to type and take shorthand gave young women a valuable job. I was in the first year of my state college degree in mass com and you had to be able to type at a certain speed with no mistakes etc. I had taken typing in highschool. I still have my modern electric Smith Corona machine and that troublesome ink reel.
Really a good movie
Lucy was memorable in Five came back,The Dark Corner and Stage Door.
@Nee Nee O Five came back was remade as Back from Eternity with Robert Ryan and Rod Steiger.I can never find this one.I last saw it in the 60s on BBC.
And, Dance, Girl, Dance. Du Barry Was a Lady was a little languorous, but Lucy was absolutely gorgeous in the film.
Yes, The Dark Corner is a very enjoyable film noir, IMO an underated classic with a great cast!
Also excellent & funny in Dance Girl Dance. Maureen O'Hara was in that movie too and got billing over Lucille Ball. Lucy once commented that Maureen O'Hara was perfect. I always like O'Hara's acting, but liked Lucille even more in this movie. Better, dancer, funnier, and had more flair in the movie.
My absolute favorite was "Lured" 1947, with George Sanders, Charles Coburn, Cedric Hardwicke. Also Du Barry Was a Lady, and Easy to Wed, finally Big Street with Henry Fonda. Showed quite a range of her acting abilities. Then in the 1950's Forever Darling and Long Long Trailer; Yours Mind and Ours with Hank Fonda in 1968; finally Mame in 1974. While Forever Darling and Mame did not get great reviews I really enjoyed both of them.
I like the reference about Truman, He did once run a Men's Clothing Store, a haberdashery, with an Army Buddy (WW1) The Store didn't do so well and closed in 1922. Truman had an interesting number of other pursuits before entering politics!
Loved it
I LOVE LUCY. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY. SHE WAS AWESOME.
