Lucille Ball plays herself as the vice-president of Desilu Productions, who is busy readying her workshop of young performers for their musical revue. The performers in this program were actual members of Lucy's Workshop at Desilu Studios, and included film historian Robert Osborne, Carole Cook and Dick Kallman, who later starred in the series ""Hank"".
In 1956, viewers saw Ed Wynn give a moving performance in ""Requiem for a Heavyweight"" on the Playhouse 90 series. This program shows the tense drama which unfolded behind the scenes, when Ed's son and co-star Keenan Wynn feared that ""The Perfect Fool"" would be far from perfect in his first straight dramatic role.
