- Alternate versionsPlans originally called for a color broadcast of this episode as "our answer to Peter Pan (1955)," but color television film proved too expensive. However, color photos and home movies of the cast's dress rehearsal still exist. In 2007, they served as a guide for a digitally colorized version of the episode. The colorized version received its first release as a bonus feature on the _"I Love Lucy" (1951)_ complete series DVD.

Featured review
An absolute must see !!!
This is I Love Lucy at It's finest. Everyone involved in the making of this episode deserved an award. The writers, composers, choreographers, costume and set designers all went above and beyond their usual greatness and lest we forget the cast. Lucy looks even younger than usual as does Desi. This is one episode where Desi allows himself to be on the receiving end of jokes rather than being the logical, sensible anchor that usually saves the day. His holding an arched back after Lucy dips him is incredible. Lucy, of course handles props like a pro particularly when she does her sword dance. Fred and Ethel as the two headed Dragon was fantastic. I have this episode on dvd in both black and white and also the colorized version. I highly recommend that you watch this on dvd so as not to lose any portions via edited for tv syndication. It's not just a joy to watch but it looks like everyone had a good time making it. A timeless classic not often mentioned in the "favorites " list.
