The Fur Coat – I Love Lucy, episode 10, originally aired 12/10/1951

A classic I Love Lucy episode, with Lucy taking the idea of ‘falling in love with the fur coat’ to ludicrous extremes – wearing it while doing the dishes, wearing it over her pajamas, etc. Of course, her eventual revenge on Ricky (buying a cheap imitation fur and cutting it down to a sleeveless t-shirt mink in front of Ricky, with Ricky believing that it’s the expensive fur coat), as well as using Ricky’s taking away her fur coat anniversary present as leverage for expensive make-up gifts, Since it wasn’t ever their anniversary to begin with!

The Fur Coat - I Love Lucy - where Lucy becomes too attached to a new fur coat

Lucy falls in love with the fur coat that Ricky brought home for their anniversary – only it’s a prop from the club that Ricky brought home to show Lucy. Lucy is so in love with the fur coat that she won’t even remove it at bedtime; so Ricky arranges to have Fred pretends to be a coat burgled to steal the coat. Until a real coat burglar comes along …

Betty Davis wears this style coat throughout the movie, "All About Eve."

Bombshell Rita Hayworth is pictured wearing the same style of a mink coat.
