On October 12, 1951, three days before I Love Lucy premiered, Desilu filmed Episode #6, "The Audition". An enterprising member of the studio audience secretly brought a 16mm movie camera with him into the bleachers that evening, and when no one was looking, he managed to take a few "home movies" as the filming proceeded. Gregg Oppenheimer, son of Jess Oppenheimer, recently discovered and obtained this rare color footage, and has edited it together with scenes from the actual show. The gentleman on the set with the Arnazes between scenes is the show's director, Marc Daniels. This never-before-released film is the only known color footage of the Tropicana and Ricardo apartment sets.
