I agree with Jimmy, this is one of Dick York's funniest episodes -- next to the one when he had BIG ears!
For those of us who grew up on this series, it remains classic stuff, unforgettable.
As usual, scheming Larry gets Darrin into trouble with a new client. Italian-speaking Mr. Romani (played by Freddie Roberto) is expanding his business, and naturally to get in good with a big money client, Larry claims Darrin speaks FLUENT Italian! OMG. Best of it all is when Endora puts a spell on him and Darrin is actually speaking Italian.
And yes, his over the top Italian accent is priceless.
Dick York was a master at some funny characterizations, and this is one of them.
Special guest star is composer Renzo Cesana, playing Mr. Arcarius. Renzo composed many popular songs, and also turned up in some classic tv shows, such as IT TAKES A THIEF. He passed a few years after this episode in 1970.
The notes are right; check out the "wires" holding Endora above Darrin. If you are a close observer, you'll notice the thin wires used in many episodes to support Agnes Moorehead, and in some cases she was in really high places.
Best of SEASON 4 EPISODE 3 remastered color dvd box set. 4 dvds. 2006 release. Check out the classic color cover.
