LUCY HELPS CRAIG GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE
S1;E24 ~ March 17, 1969
Directed by Jack Donohue ~ Written by Milt Josefsberg and Ray Singer
Synopsis
When Craig turns 16, naturally he wants to get his driver's license. Much to the dismay of the nervous driving inspector (Jack Gilford), Lucy insists on playing back seat driver during the road test!
Regular Cast
Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter), Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter), Desi Arnaz Jr. (Craig Carter)
Guest Cast
Jack Gilford (Wilbur Hurlow) began his career in the Amateur Nights of the 1930s moving on to nightclubs doing satire and pantomime. He was nominated for Tony awards for best supporting actor in the musical A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1962) and Cabaret (1966). He was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the film Save the Tiger (1973). He is perhaps best remembered as the guy on the Cracker Jack commercials from 1960-1972. This is his only appearance opposite Lucille Ball. Gilford died in 1990.
The surname ‘Hurlow’ will be used as the name of a policeman (Robert Carson” in “A Home is Not an Office” (S5;E4) and a nurse (Mary Wickes) in “Lucy and Harry’s Tonsils” (S2;E5). Wickes also played a secretary named Hurlow in “Lucy and Robert Goulet” (TLS S6;E8).
Wilburn Hurlow’s mother is obviously deceased. He addresses her frequently by looking heavenward!
Herkie Styles (First Clerk) was a veteran nightclub comedian making his final screen appearance.
Sid Gould (Second Clerk) made more than 45 appearances on “The Lucy Show,” all as background characters. This is one of his 40 episodes of “Here’s Lucy.” Gould (born Sydney Greenfader) was Lucille Ball’s cousin by marriage to Gary Morton.
Joseph Mell (Third Clerk) was seen in five episodes of “The Lucy Show.” In 1964 he appeared in the TV special “Mr. and Mrs.” (aka “The Lucille Ball Comedy Hour”), which featured many of the Desilu regulars. In 1971, he was a Taxi Driver on “Lucy and the Lecher,” a cross-over episode of Danny Thomas’s “Make Room for Granddaddy” in which Lucille Ball played Lucy Carter, her character from “Here’s Lucy.” This is his only appearance on the series.
Ray Kellogg (Policeman) played the barking Assistant Director (“Roll ‘em!”) in “Ricky’s Screen Test” (ILL S4;E6) and later appeared in “Bullfight Dance” (ILL S4;E22). He was seen on 7 episodes of “The Lucy Show.” This is the second of his two episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”
Murray Pollack (DMV Clerk, uncredited) was seen as one of the party guests in “Country Club Dance” (ILL S6;E25), the episode that introduced Barbara Eden. Coincidentally, he later appeared on half a dozen episodes of “I Dream of Jeannie.” He was at the airport when “The Ricardos Go to Japan” (1959). He was seen in the 1963 movie Critic’s Choice with Lucille Ball. He made two appearances on “The Lucy Show.” This is the second of his three episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”
David Elam (DMV Clerk, uncredited) started doing background work in 1957. He made two appearances on Desilu’s “The Untouchables”. Elam was at the wedding of Mike and Carol Brady in 1969. This is his only appearance with Lucille Ball.
Alberto Morin (DMV Clerk, uncredited) was born in Puerto Rico, and appeared in some of Hollywood’s most cherished films: Gone with the Wind (1939), Casablanca (1943), and Key Largo (1948). He was Carlos, one of Ricky’s “Cuban Pals” (ILL S1;E28) and the Robert DuBois in “The French Revue” (ILL S3;E7). His many background appearances on “The Lucy Show” and “Here’s Lucy” were all uncredited.
Clarence Landry (Man at DMV, uncredited) made at least half a dozen appearances on the series. This was the first. Landry and Vernord Bradley were a tap dance duo who appeared in in the Vitaphone 1941 short Minstrel Days. Like his fellow extra Frieda Rentie, he was also seen in the 1958 film South Pacific.
Frieda Rentie (Woman at DMV, uncredited) makes one of at least four appearances on the series. Rentie was in the original 1958 film of South Pacific and in 1972’s The Poseidon Adventure.
Joan Carey (Woman at DMV, uncredited) appeared in the background of “I Love Lucy,” “The Lucy Show,” and “Here’s Lucy.” She also served as Ball’s camera and lighting stand-in.
Others at the Motor Vehicle Bureau are played by uncredited background performers.
This episode’s title is also sometimes listed as “Lucy Helps Craig Get HIS Driver’s License.”
This episode was aired on St. Patrick’s Day 1969, although there is no mention of it in the dialogue. Lucy does, however, wear a green blouse and skirt!
This is the last show of the first season, and the last installment for long-time employee, producer Tommy Thompson. Lucille Ball brings in her cousin Cleo Smith to produce the rest of the series.
The first season ended at number 9 in the ratings with a 23.8 share. The first DVD release was on August 25, 2009.
Craig is marking his 16th birthday. His age was mentioned two weeks earlier in “Lucy's Safari” (S1;E22, above). As the world knows, Desi Arnaz Jr.'s actual birthdate is January 19th. He, like Craig, also turned 16 in 1969.
Craig can't wait to to go to a drive-in movie with Steve, Peggy and Barbara. Steve probably refers to Steve March, the son of Mel Torme and the adopted son of Arnaz family friend, Hal March. Steve will appear in “Lucy and the Bogie Affair” (S2;E13, above), “Lucy the Crusader” (S2;E13), and “Lucy and Sammy Davis Jr.” (S3;E3). He also will write the song “Country Magic” for “Lucy and Ann-Margret” (S2;E20).
Peggy and Barbara are new to a list of Craig’s gal pals that includes Carol and Susie and Doreen... and Eileen and Josephine... and Betty and Annie... and Lori and Elsie!
A few months later, the show presents “Lucy at the Drive-In Movie” (S2;E8, above), although it is Kim with a date at the ‘passion pit’, not Craig.
For his birthday, Uncle Harry gives Craig his favorite book when he was 16: Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle, a young adult novel written by the Stratemeyer Syndicate writers using the pen name Victor Appleton. It is volume 10 in the original Tom Swift novel series first published in 1911. Uncle Harry puts a check for $50 inside. He promises he'll sign it when Craig turns 21.
Lucy gives her son a wallet with a ten dollar bill tucked inside. Kim gives her brother a turtle neck sweater she knit herself. It turns out to be short on turtle and long on neck!
Craig’s vision is so good he can see the tiny fine print on the eye chart: “Made by the Acme Printing Company.”
To help her son pass the eye test, Lucy gets a closer look at the chart, much to the chagrin of the clerk (Sid Gould). “Lucy Has Her Eyes Examined” (ILL S3;E11) also used the Snellen Eye Chart, named after Dutch ophthalmologist Herman Snellen, who developed it in 1862. Note that between 1953 and 1969, the chart has not changed. Now, however, eye doctors use an improved chart known as the LogMAR chart.
Lucy questions the clerk (Joe Mell) as to why Craig has to have his photograph taken in profile, while the man before him was photographed facing the camera. Craig correctly sites California law enacted in 1965 that those under 21 be photographed in profile for quicker identification by law enforcement officials. California law now requires teens be subject to "provisional license restrictions" and full face photos are required for facial recognition software.
Lucy embarrasses Craig by telling the clerks that Craig has an identifying mole on his backside!
When Lucy objects to her son being fingerprinted like a common criminal, the clerk notes that the only two people to object to being fingerprinted were Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie Parker (1910–34) and Clyde Barrow (1909–34) were notorious criminals who traveled with their gang during the Great Depression, robbing people and killing when cornered or confronted. A popular film about their lives was released in August 1967 (above) winning two Academy Awards. The film was mentioned several times on “The Lucy Show.”
Craig takes his road test in Lucy's car, a 1965 yellow convertible Dodge Dart In the parking log there are also a red 1969 Plymouth GTX and a blue station wagon waiting to take the road test.
The car turns up again in “Lucy at the Drive-In Movie” (S2;E8), although with a different license plate.
It was also driven by Sergeant Carter on Desilu’s “Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C” (above) in 1965.
The car’s license plate (WHO-526) will appear again on the camper that the Carters drive in the on location episodes that open season two of the series.
As Inspector Hurlow (Jack Gilford) comes toward the car, Lucy and Desi Jr. indulge in some silly ad lib muttering they probably didn’t expect to be heard on microphone.
CRAIG: “That’s him!”
LUCY: “Really? How do you know?”
CRAIG: “They all have curly hair.”
The episode uses actual location footage of the road test through the streets of Los Angeles, which was matched in the studio with a rear projection process shot. This technique was previously seen in “Lucy and the Great Airport Chase” (S1;E18) and was done for the first time on television in “California, Here We Come!” (ILL S4;E12). Due to the distance and the speed of the car, it is not possible to tell if the occupants of the vehicle are actually Ball, Arnaz, and Gilford, or actor doubles, as was done during location filming for the trip to California on “I Love Lucy.”
In the first shot, the vehicle is driving toward the camera with Hollywood headquarters of World Opportunities Inc. in the background and the Hollywood Hills in the distance. A General Tire location is on the right.
The background footage then shows the RCA building (now the Hollywood Film School) in the background, which means the car was traveling south on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, the same street that Paramount (formerly Desilu) studios is on. Ironically, RCA was the parent company of NBC and “Here's Lucy” was a CBS show! By the look of the cars on the street in the process shots, the background footage was not recent when it was used on “Here’s Lucy.”
At one point Mr. Hurlow tells Lucy that if she wants to help she should “take the bus and leave the driving to us.” This was the popular slogan of Greyhound Bus Lines. The slogan will be quoted again in “Lucy the Laundress” (S2;E17) and “Lucy and the Used Car Dealer” (S2;E9).
Mr. Hurlow passes Craig on his road test, noting that if he can drive with Lucy in the back seat, he can drive at the Indianapolis Speedway. This is a reference to the motor raceway that is home of the Indianapolis 500 and formerly the home of the United States Grand Prix. It is located six miles west of Downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. The name has become synonymous with fast driving, especially in jokes.
Lucy lets it slip that she has a New York State driver license that she got five or six years ago and tells Mr. Hurlow she's only lived in California for three years. This sounds very much like the back story of Lucy Carmichael of “The Lucy Show.” It is also revealed that in New York Lucille Carter was a brunette. Craig helpfully says the California sun bleached it.
Hurlow is secretly thrilled that Lucy has an invalid license and sings to himself “Every cloudy day, has a silver lining.” He adds that after he's through with her she'll be lucky to drive a tricycle in Griffith Park. Griffith Park is a large municipal park at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles, California. The park covers 4,310 acres, making it one of the largest urban parks in North America. It is the second-largest city park in California. It is named for Griffith J. Griffith, a land developer who bought the land in 1882.
Lucy calls Mr. Hurlow “a nervous wreck.” That same description fits Hysterium, the role Jack Gilford originated in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. In the show, Hysterium sings the song “Calm” by Stephen Sondheim in which he's anything but!
Mr. Hurlow loses his cool and runs off singing “Happy Days Are Here Again,” a song by Jack Yellen and Milton Ager. The song was featured in the 1930 film Chasing Rainbows. The song title was mentioned by Ethel Mertz in “Fan Magazine Interview” (ILL S3;E17). Lucy is worried about Ricky’s fidelity:
LUCY: “If some woman was trying to take Fred away from you, you’d sing another tune.”
ETHEL: “Yeah, ‘Happy Days Are Here Again’.”
Note: Viewers watching the episode on Amazon Prime will notice that the song is absent from Jack Gilford’s screen exit. It is likely that the music royalty fee was not deemed worth paying for such a quick moment and it was excised.
Lucy Ricardo also wreaked havoc on the roads in “Lucy Learns to Drive” (ILL S4;E11). Her patient teacher was her husband, short-tempered Ricky. Lucy then acted as driving instructor for her gal pal Ethel.
An ill-fitting turtle neck sweater was featured in “Lucy and Clint Walker” (TLS S4;E24). The sweater was also knit as a birthday present.
Fast Forward!
“Here’s the Story...” In 1974 “The Brady Bunch” also tackled a teenager getting a driver license when Marcia Brady took the test with Herb Vigran as her instructor. Vigran had appeared several times on “I Love Lucy” and “The Lucy Show”. Wisely, Carol Brady (Florence Henderson) was not in the back seat as Lucy was with Craig. Coincidentally, the following year Marcia’s secret crush was Desi Arnaz Jr., who appeared on the show in 1970 as himself. Eve Plumb, who played Marcia’s sister Jan, played Craig Carter’s cousin Patricia Carter, on a 1972 episode of “Here’s Lucy.” “The Brady Bunch” and “Here’s Lucy” both finished their runs in 1974 and were both filmed at Paramount!
Deja View! Like many rear projection shots on TV, the car goes by the same landmarks a couple of times. It was also noticeable in “California, Here We Come!” (ILL S4;E14) and will be again in the Las Vegas strip sequence of “Lucy Meets Wayne Newton” (S2;E22).
I’m Not a Lawyer, But... Craig incorrectly advises his mother that she doesn’t have to show her license to the police officer (Ray Kellogg) if she isn’t actually driving a car. Police officers have the right to ask for identification such as driver’s licence even when a vehicle is stationary or parked.
“Lucy Helps Craig Get a Driver’s License” rates 3 Paper Hearts out of 5
This is a good 'Bachelor Mother' episode with Lucy playing the helicopter mother. Unfortunately, it isn't really lough out loud funny. The road test scene seems to hold the possibility for Lucy's trademark physical comedy, but all we get are a few pointed barbs. Perhaps it is because the tone of the episodes this season has varied so wildly – from out-and-out farce to music hall revue – we don't know what to expect from “Here's Lucy.”
