- 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
A love/hate show
The episode is either loved or hated. I, on the other hand, don't hate it but I don't love it. It's not as good as The Operetta episode. If I had to choose a musical episode, I choose The Operetta. But this one has funny moments like Ricky taking a lock of her hair and sings it -- very funny. And the songs are sort of catchy, the sword dance is my favorite part, the extras are great. The singers and dancers are doing their best, give them credit for their talent. It reminds me of a Televised play so that's a bonus. Fred and Ethel as a two headed dragon, why not? It's a dream fantasy fairytale so anything goes, you can't judge it. The best joke for me is Ethel saying they won't eat Ricky because Spanish food gives them heart burn.
It's a fairy tale I love Lucy episode that you either go with it or you can't.
