Special Notes: Lucille really enjoyed working with Ritter, who is one of her favorites. All week long, she refered to herself as having "Ritter-it is". During the filming of the scene where she force-feeds him a concoction of tofu, wheat germ, and sauerkraut juice because of his hands being bandaged, Ritter ad-libs to her, "This is real sauerkraut juice!" His pained expression breaks Lucille up, and the scene had to be reshot. Lucille commented that this was only the third time in her entire career that she had to yell cut because she broke up laughing.
