Grape Stomping

Ricky comes back to the Rome hotel expecting to find Lucy, because the film director Vittorio Felipe is on his way over, but Ethel is evasive and keeps echoing his questions until she admits Lucy has gone off to absorb local color for her part in the film Bitter Grapes. Ricky protests that he never meant to keep her out of the picture. Out at a village vineyard, a worn-out Lucy tries to climb out of the wine vat, but her fellow stomper Teresa yanks her back to work. One shove topples Teresa into the crushed fruit, and the two women end up wrestling, ducking and pelting each other with handfuls of grapes until both are drenched in juice.

TV Guide ranked "Lucy's Italian Movie", the episode containing this scene, No. 18 on its 1997 list of the 100 Greatest Episodes of All Time.
