Lucy Meets Charles Boyer - I Love Lucy season five, episode 146, originally aired 3/5/1956

Still in Paris, Lucy keeps seeing her favorite French film star, Charles Boyer, everywhere she looks. Eventually, she actually sees the real Charles Boyer, but while she is decoyed into the ladies room to ‘freshen up’ before meeting the film star, Ricky introduces himself and convinces Charles Boyer to tell Lucy that he’s actually a lookalike actor named Maurice DuBois—in an attempt to keep Lucy from interfering with a business lunch between Ricky and Charles Boyer later that week.

Ricky then schemes to convince Lucy that he’s insanely jealous of Charles Boyer, and Lucy then decides to hire that ‘lookalike’ actor to pretend to be Charles Boyer, in order to show Ricky that Charles Boyer means nothing to her. One of the funniest moments comes when Lucy is coaching ‘Maurice DuBois’ on how to act and talk like Charles Boyer—hysterically funny. During their business lunch, Charles Boyer reveals the plot to Ricky, who decides to play along, All moves to the ‘confrontation’—with Ethel eventually revealing the true identity. At the end, Lucy and Ethel unintentionally get their revenge, as Lucy accidentally sits on Charles Boyer’s hat, then accidentally squirts ink on his shirt, and then rip his overcoat fighting over who helps Charles Boyer get his coat on.
