00:00:00♪♪
00:00:18♪♪
00:00:34Ladies and gentlemen, one of things this is.
00:00:37The police are holding the crowds back.
00:00:39Hollywood Boulevard has been clocked for hours.
00:00:42Waiting, just waiting.
00:00:43Wait a minute.
00:00:44The mayor is beginning to arrive.
00:00:47Let's see who's in this first car.
00:00:51Tom Clary, the director.
00:00:53Played by John Helenson.
00:00:55Joe Flint, played by Wallace Ford.
00:00:59Molly Evans, played by Kitty Kelly.
00:01:07And last, the great Gloria Jordan.
00:01:10Played by Margaret D'Alamo.
00:01:16♪♪
00:01:21Pete, Joe's manager.
00:01:23Played by Tom Dubin.
00:01:25And now, Roger Bentley.
00:01:27Played by Jameson Thompson.
00:01:35Oh, how was the premiere, Harry?
00:01:37Yeah.
00:01:39A great star and a great picture.
00:01:44A road of unadulterated bull.
00:01:50Was thrilled at the outstanding performance of Gloria Jordan.
00:02:00Her love scenes left nothing to the imagination.
00:02:07Quote.
00:02:09What charm.
00:02:11What poise.
00:02:13What warmth.
00:02:16Unquote.
00:02:17Warmth?
00:02:18Why, she's as cold as Kelsey's...
00:02:27Yeah?
00:02:36Yes.
00:02:56Yes.
00:02:58She's leaving for the studio right away.
00:03:02She just finished her French lesson
00:03:04and she's rehearsing the song.
00:03:07Say, listen, monkey, you're only the assistant director.
00:03:11All right, we'll be there when we get there.
00:03:19Okay, I'll tell her.
00:03:23I'll take that, baby.
00:03:25I shall have time to see the woman call me.
00:03:34I shall have time to see the woman call me.
00:03:43This emerald winter, like a child of pain.
00:03:53Oh, what cold fire flies in behind me.
00:04:01Darling.
00:04:06Darling.
00:04:17In the beauty of the sight of a queen.
00:04:26You saw me stop for a breath.
00:04:28Why didn't you stop your singing?
00:04:30But you should never in the midst of a cadenza stop for a breath.
00:04:33If my voice does not match with your lip movement on the screen,
00:04:36it will ruin my cadenza.
00:04:37Oh, Gloria, be careful of Madame's cadenza.
00:04:41But my public will be looking at me.
00:04:43Your singing off screen is merely secondary.
00:04:46Bah, vous êtes un ungrateful child.
00:04:49Oui, madame.
00:04:50Oui, madame.
00:04:52Oui, oui, oui, oui, oui.
00:04:56Can't be her telling me how to sing.
00:04:59Oh, everything would have been all right if you didn't breathe in a cadenza.
00:05:03Forget it.
00:05:04Here, drink your orange juice.
00:05:05I don't want it.
00:05:06I hate it.
00:05:07I hate everything and everybody.
00:05:08Well, that's settled.
00:05:10But don't forget your art theory.
00:05:11The studio calls and they're waiting.
00:05:13Let them wait.
00:05:14That's exactly what they've done for years.
00:05:16One of these days, they'll get fed up and throw you out on your...
00:05:18Molly!
00:05:20It's a woman's name, but it ain't Molly.
00:05:23Why do you talk to me like that?
00:05:25Because I'm the only friend you've got.
00:05:26Preposterous.
00:05:27Well, I've loads of friends.
00:05:30Don't kid yourself.
00:05:32If you didn't have this gorgeous home and that cellar full of hooch,
00:05:35not one of these Hollywood chiseling liquor guzzlers would give you a tumble.
00:05:40Take it from me, baby.
00:05:41In this picture racket, you're only good while the going's good.
00:05:45How dare you talk to me like that?
00:05:47Remember your place.
00:05:49Good!
00:05:50You're almost mad.
00:05:52That's the most animation I've seen in months.
00:05:54Go on.
00:05:55Get good and sore.
00:05:57You shouldn't talk to me like that, Molly.
00:05:59You know when I get angry, I become moody.
00:06:02I bet your mother was moody before you were born.
00:06:11Yeah?
00:06:13It's the studio again.
00:06:15What'll I tell them?
00:06:17Oh, tell them we left a half hour ago.
00:06:40Do you mind moving?
00:07:10I'm moving over, Mr. Clary.
00:07:12I'm tired, too.
00:07:16Go right ahead.
00:07:19Don't mind me, baby.
00:07:35Why aren't you shooting?
00:07:37What's the trouble?
00:07:38No trouble.
00:07:39Everything's nice and quiet.
00:07:41Cameras are okay.
00:07:43Nothing wrong with the lights.
00:07:45In fact, we haven't used them today.
00:07:48Well, where's Gloria?
00:07:50Gloria?
00:07:51Oh, yes.
00:07:52That's our leading lady.
00:07:54Well, she's left her house for the studio every half hour
00:07:58since 8 o'clock this morning.
00:08:00It's only noon now, so she certainly ought to be here by 5.
00:08:04I know, but isn't there anything you can shoot without her?
00:08:07I'd much rather shoot at her.
00:08:10She can't get away with this.
00:08:12I think I've heard you use that line before.
00:08:22Hello, Ralph, dear.
00:08:24Am I late, darling?
00:08:26Now, look here, Gloria.
00:08:28This picture must meet a release date, and I can't...
00:08:31But, Ralph, dear, I'm so sorry.
00:08:34I didn't feel well today.
00:08:36In fact, I shouldn't be here at all.
00:08:41Temperamental spasm number 9,647.
00:08:50All right, all right, but try not to be late again.
00:08:55You know, Tom is as sore as...
00:08:57Don't you worry about Tom.
00:08:59I can handle him.
00:09:05Hello, boys.
00:09:06I'm sorry I'm late.
00:09:08Okay with us, Miss Jordan.
00:09:10We're working by the hour.
00:09:13Good morning.
00:09:14Morning, is it?
00:09:18I do so hate to disturb you, but you're sitting in my place.
00:09:22I should use my influence to see that you extra girls
00:09:25have chairs in the future.
00:09:27You stay right where you are.
00:09:28Miss Jordan isn't going to need her chair.
00:09:30You come on up here by the table.
00:09:32We'll try and shoot that love scene.
00:09:34Mr. Crane.
00:09:35Mr. Crane.
00:09:36Mr. Crane.
00:09:37They're calling me, darling.
00:09:39Kiss Junior for me and don't have dinner till I get there.
00:09:42I've only got a couple of love scenes to knock over.
00:09:45Do you love me?
00:09:47Mr. Crane.
00:09:49I'm coming.
00:09:51Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:09:53Mr. Crane, come here a minute, will you?
00:09:55Right.
00:09:56Now, let's take that scene we shot 14 times yesterday.
00:10:00What was wrong with it?
00:10:02It smelled.
00:10:04You don't mind a frank criticism, do you?
00:10:08I thought that Mr. Crane was, well,
00:10:11a trifle heavy in that scene.
00:10:13Mr. Crane was excellent in the scene,
00:10:16and you were the only person in the scene with Mr. Crane
00:10:19and the scene smelled.
00:10:21So figure it out for yourself.
00:10:24Where's my script?
00:10:25You want a script after shooting that scene 50 times yesterday?
00:10:28Certainly not.
00:10:30But I was thinking that in that scene where I say I love you.
00:10:36You couldn't have been thinking in that scene where you said
00:10:38I love you or you'd have said it as if you were talking to a man
00:10:42and not making passes at a chair.
00:10:45It's very unkind of you, Tom,
00:10:47when I made such an effort to get here.
00:10:51I haven't been feeling at all well today.
00:10:54I'm sorry.
00:10:55I'm sorry.
00:10:56All right.
00:10:57Now, let's take it once.
00:10:58You get ready to make your entrance, Gloria.
00:11:00And you get into your position, Mr. Crane.
00:11:02Now, everybody keep quiet.
00:11:03Please.
00:11:04Quiet!
00:11:05I want to sit here, will you?
00:11:08Will you get out of my sight?
00:11:11All right.
00:11:12You come in now, Gloria.
00:11:14Hello, dear.
00:11:16Where have you been?
00:11:18With him, I suppose.
00:11:19Perhaps it'd be better if I were out of the way.
00:11:22I'll give you a divorce.
00:11:23But I tell you, he means nothing to me.
00:11:26Can't you understand, Charles, dear?
00:11:28I, I, I, um, what comes next?
00:11:34I love you.
00:11:36I love you.
00:11:39I love you.
00:11:44Thanks, buddy.
00:11:48I love you.
00:11:50Gloria.
00:11:52You go to your dressing room, will you?
00:11:54I'll see you in a minute.
00:11:55Fix your makeup, please, Mr. Crane.
00:11:57Now, everybody get ready.
00:11:58I'm going to shoot this scene.
00:12:04Get the camera.
00:12:09Now, Gloria, didn't you ever love anyone?
00:12:14I'm fond of you.
00:12:16Yeah, you like dogs and cats.
00:12:18I know.
00:12:19Now, listen to me.
00:12:20You're supposed to love this man.
00:12:22He's your husband.
00:12:23And he's discovered something you've been trying to conceal from him,
00:12:26and he's hurt.
00:12:27And you don't want him to be hurt.
00:12:29Because you love him.
00:12:31You're trying to convince him that you love him.
00:12:34You want him to believe that more than anything else in the world.
00:12:37So every move, every gesture is one of passionate tenderness.
00:12:43Because you don't want him to be hurt.
00:12:47Now, won't you try and get that for me?
00:12:50I'll try.
00:12:52And thanks so much for being so patient with me.
00:12:57Who is it?
00:12:58Tarzan.
00:12:59Who?
00:13:00It's Roger, your big game hunter.
00:13:02He wants you to dine with him.
00:13:03I told him you'd probably jump at the chance.
00:13:05Oh, you didn't.
00:13:06Oh, I did, too.
00:13:08Now, what are you waiting for?
00:13:10Go on.
00:13:11Go on.
00:13:12Go on.
00:13:13Go on.
00:13:14Go on.
00:13:15Go on.
00:13:16Go on.
00:13:17Go on.
00:13:18Go on.
00:13:19Go on.
00:13:20Go on.
00:13:21Go on.
00:13:22Go on.
00:13:23Go on.
00:13:24Go on.
00:13:26Hello, Roger.
00:13:27All right, put a party on.
00:13:28I'm going to take it.
00:13:29Miss Jordan was called to the phone.
00:13:31She'll be right back.
00:13:32She was what?
00:13:33She was called to the phone.
00:13:36My dear, I've been on the set all day.
00:13:56Say, what's your telephone number?
00:13:58Why?
00:13:59Granite 6457.
00:14:04Are you doing anything tonight?
00:14:06No.
00:14:07That's too bad.
00:14:14Ah, ah, naughty, naughty.
00:14:26Oh, that was grand.
00:14:30Look.
00:14:31What's that?
00:14:32Well, that's the training quarters for fighters.
00:14:36Oh, let's go down.
00:14:38All right.
00:14:39Come on, boy.
00:14:40Come on.
00:14:41Here.
00:14:42Here.
00:14:43Here.
00:14:44Here.
00:14:45Here.
00:14:46Here.
00:14:47Here.
00:14:48Here.
00:14:49Here.
00:14:50Here.
00:14:51Here.
00:14:52Here.
00:14:53Here.
00:14:54Here.
00:15:04Say, how's Flynn coming along?
00:15:06Oh, great.
00:15:07Say, there's the next middleweight champion of the world
00:15:09or I don't know, a fighter when I see one.
00:15:12This kid's got everything, class, speed, endurance,
00:15:15and he's got a hay-maker sag that's a sweetheart
00:15:19and a clean-living kid too, if you know what I mean.
00:15:21You're right, Pete.
00:15:22Women have knocked out more fighters than blows on the chin has.
00:15:25Yes, but that'll never happen to Flynn.
00:15:27No?
00:15:28No, this kid's got brains. He's got ambition.
00:15:31Like his look?
00:15:35He's going places.
00:15:38You know, the next fight's for the title of the world.
00:15:43Have you seen enough?
00:15:44Yes.
00:15:45All right, let's go.
00:15:52You ever get a married country?
00:15:54If she can hook him.
00:15:56I thought you wouldn't stop short of a title.
00:15:59Say, that guy's so important he doesn't need a title.
00:16:02He's a real old American cat.
00:16:04Family came over in a rowboat before the Mayflower.
00:16:08Funny thing, ain't it, Tom?
00:16:10How we can love the ones we sometimes hate.
00:16:12Yeah.
00:16:13Well, here's to her.
00:16:15May her hips never get as broad as her A's.
00:16:20How was your golf today?
00:16:21You know that fourth hole?
00:16:22Uh-huh.
00:16:23I hit the prettiest ball right over the green.
00:16:25But the wind was against you.
00:16:27Well, how did you know?
00:16:28I put stairs, Charlie.
00:16:30Hello, Tom, dear.
00:16:32Business or pleasure?
00:16:33Habit.
00:16:34Oh, we had the most glorious ride.
00:16:36The park is perfectly gorgeous this time of year.
00:16:39Oh, hello, Tom, dear.
00:16:41I had the most divine ride on the donkey.
00:16:44And tell me, my pet,
00:16:45don't you remember good old Edith Johnson you discovered on 10th Avenue?
00:16:49You remember her?
00:16:50She worked next to me at the home laundry.
00:16:53Come on, relax.
00:16:54Get off that horse's neck.
00:16:56You're on the wrong end.
00:16:59I think that's beastly of you.
00:17:00Perfectly beastly.
00:17:03I'm going to get drunk.
00:17:04What?
00:17:05Why not?
00:17:09Nobody understands me.
00:17:11I work so hard and try so hard.
00:17:13And when I act like a lady, you razz me.
00:17:15When I say I'm going to get drunk, you're shocked.
00:17:17Why shouldn't I drink?
00:17:19No, I mustn't.
00:17:20I must drink orange juice to stay thin.
00:17:23I mustn't play.
00:17:24I must sleep so I can work.
00:17:26I mustn't smile because it leaves wrinkles.
00:17:28I mustn't cry because it ruins my eyes.
00:17:32I mustn't...
00:17:33That's enough mustn'ts for one day, darling.
00:17:35Here, drink this if you want it.
00:17:43Oh, I'm so unhappy.
00:17:45Why don't you marry me and make yourself permanently unhappy?
00:17:49I don't think that's funny.
00:17:51Neither do I.
00:17:52Why don't you lie down and rest?
00:17:54That's all I ever do.
00:17:56Then don't lie down.
00:17:57Well, then I'll be tired.
00:17:59Well, then lie down.
00:18:01No, I won't lie down.
00:18:07I'll have another drink.
00:18:08Atta girl.
00:18:09Another drink for the lady, Oscar.
00:18:11Here you are.
00:18:12Here you are.
00:18:14Oh, you're so sweet.
00:18:19So, darling, if you keep on like that, I'll find myself liking you again.
00:18:23But I thought you loved me.
00:18:24I do, but it's a long time since I've liked you.
00:18:28That's a funny thing to say.
00:18:30How's your friend Pentley?
00:18:32He's leaving for New York tomorrow.
00:18:34Is that why you're crying?
00:18:36Of course not.
00:18:37Is he coming back?
00:18:39Certainly.
00:18:40Congratulations.
00:18:41Do you have to be sarcastic?
00:18:43Sarcastic?
00:18:44What do you want, condolences?
00:18:46I want you to take me in your arms
00:18:48and promise that you'll never leave me.
00:18:51Oh, come here.
00:18:53When are you going to marry him?
00:18:54Oh, he hasn't asked me.
00:18:56And if he does?
00:18:57Of course I will.
00:18:59And in the meantime, you want me to hold you in my arms
00:19:02and promise never to leave you?
00:19:04Never.
00:19:05I wouldn't know what to do without you.
00:19:08Of all the selfish little...
00:19:15Do you like this?
00:19:16Yes.
00:19:18Anything else you like?
00:19:20You.
00:19:21Oh, that's enough of that.
00:19:32Tom, were you ever in love?
00:19:35Ha!
00:19:36Don't laugh.
00:19:37All right, I won't laugh.
00:19:38But if Pentley's got you doing nip-ups,
00:19:40don't expect me to get interested.
00:19:42Pentley?
00:19:43Who said anything about Pentley?
00:19:44Who said?
00:19:45Oh, we haven't talked about anybody else
00:19:47since you came into the room.
00:19:48Well, I wasn't thinking of him.
00:19:50All right, I give up.
00:19:51Who were you thinking of?
00:19:53No one in particular.
00:19:54I was just asking.
00:19:56Um, Tom, do you know any prizefighters?
00:20:02Prizefighters?
00:20:03Yes.
00:20:04A few?
00:20:05Why?
00:20:06Oh, no reason in particular.
00:20:08I just thought it might be amusing to know one.
00:20:10Amusing to you or the prizefighter?
00:20:12Well, don't be nasty.
00:20:13I merely thought that since I've never met one,
00:20:16that their lives and their point of view
00:20:18might be interesting.
00:20:19All right, all right.
00:20:20Who is he?
00:20:22I saw several today.
00:20:24Uh, there was one named Flynn.
00:20:27Is he good-looking?
00:20:29I didn't notice.
00:20:30I only thought...
00:20:31You just thought it'd be interesting
00:20:32to meet a prizefighter.
00:20:33Well, why pick on Flynn?
00:20:34I'm not Conera.
00:20:35Do you have to go out of your way to be disagreeable?
00:20:37I'm not being disagreeable.
00:20:38I'm merely being accommodating.
00:20:40You wanted to meet a fighter,
00:20:41so I picked the biggest one in the world.
00:20:43I hate you.
00:20:44Good.
00:20:45I hope I never see you again.
00:20:46Marvelous.
00:20:47I'll never do another picture for you.
00:20:48Now, that is good news.
00:20:50What do you mean by that?
00:20:51Merely that I've spent the better part of my life
00:20:53trying to disguise the fact that you're a rotten actress.
00:20:56And if I can get Mallon to give me Janet Grey,
00:20:58I'll make a picture I'll be proud of.
00:21:00You make a picture with her, and I'll kill you!
00:21:03Do you hear me?
00:21:04I'll kill you!
00:21:05That's pretty good.
00:21:06Why don't you do it that way in front of a camera?
00:21:33Mary was a maiden with a sweet and dimple smile.
00:21:36She lived a country life without the war.
00:21:40Nothing ever had her sweet simplicity beguiled.
00:21:44She was free from all the worry heart.
00:21:48She was dimple chappy from a distant city cave.
00:21:52Pretty, pretty pictures all they say.
00:21:56Missed a pretty maiden and to her she sang free.
00:21:59Oh, this is terrible.
00:22:00How did you bring me here?
00:22:01I thought you might find it amusing.
00:22:03Oh, it's too noisy.
00:22:04Do you want to go?
00:22:05Yes.
00:22:06All right.
00:22:08Hiya, Joe.
00:22:11Hi, Harry.
00:22:15Hello, Joe.
00:22:21Still want to go?
00:22:24No.
00:22:27Is that why you brought me here?
00:22:30Tom, bring him over.
00:22:33Please, Tom.
00:22:35If your taste has turned to fighters, I'll go into training myself.
00:22:38I hate you, despise you, and I always will.
00:22:41Oh, Miss Jordan, would you autograph my menu for me?
00:22:43Oh, yes, indeed.
00:22:50Oh, thank you, Miss Jordan.
00:22:51You're entirely welcome.
00:22:54You accuse me of being selfish, and then when I want to be myself, you won't help me.
00:22:59All right, all right.
00:23:02Hey, Pete, let's go somewhere else.
00:23:03You're going home in a minute.
00:23:04You know, you've got road work to do in the morning.
00:23:06I forgot about that.
00:23:07Well, how are you, Pete?
00:23:09Oh, hello, Tom.
00:23:10What are you doing, slumming?
00:23:12Oh, meet Joe Flynn, the next middleweight champion of the world.
00:23:15How do you do, Mr. Flynn?
00:23:17This is Tom Clary, a big shot in the movies.
00:23:19Pleased to meet you, Mr. Clary.
00:23:20Won't you sit down?
00:23:21Sorry, I can't.
00:23:22I've got Gloria Jordan with me.
00:23:24Gloria Jordan, the movie star?
00:23:27Yes.
00:23:28Would you like to meet her?
00:23:29Would I?
00:23:30Well, come on.
00:23:34Thanks for asking me, too.
00:23:38Miss Jordan, Mr. Flynn.
00:23:40How do you do?
00:23:41Pleased to meet you.
00:23:42Sit down, Joe.
00:23:43Oh, have some beer?
00:23:44No, thanks.
00:23:45I don't drink.
00:23:46That is my manager.
00:23:47He won't allow me to.
00:23:48Oh, do fighters have directors, too?
00:23:52I saw you training the other day.
00:23:54I saw you in a horse.
00:23:57I mean, I saw you on a horse.
00:23:58Did you?
00:23:59Yeah, I seen your last picture, too.
00:24:01I see all your pictures.
00:24:03You're my favorite star.
00:24:05What was that last picture I seen you in?
00:24:08Remember?
00:24:09Something about a fallen...
00:24:11A fallen...
00:24:12A fallen angel.
00:24:13Yeah, that's it.
00:24:14Did you see it?
00:24:16Oh, yeah.
00:24:17You sure was great in that.
00:24:19I like that scene with you and the guy with the soup and fish on in your bedroom.
00:24:24He tried to kiss you.
00:24:25You couldn't get away from him?
00:24:27You know, I had an idea how to get that guy...
00:24:31I think Jordan played that love scene very, very well.
00:24:34Oh, sure you did.
00:24:36Oh, yeah.
00:24:37But that fellow that wanted to marry you, he sure was slow.
00:24:41He wanted to, all right, but I guess he just didn't have the nerve to.
00:24:45That's the way my director wanted it played.
00:24:49Ah, those directors.
00:24:51They don't know really how things happen, do they?
00:24:53Am I right?
00:24:54Oh, yeah.
00:24:55Yes.
00:24:56Now, if that had been me, I'd have had to mug walk over to you and say,
00:24:59Hey, listen, we've been running around together for six years.
00:25:01I waited long enough.
00:25:02You and me is going to get hitched up or else.
00:25:04Now, that'd be a very charming love scene with such sophisticated dialogue.
00:25:09And I love it.
00:25:10Sure, everybody goes for that.
00:25:12You know, people really like the down to earth stuff.
00:25:15Now, you take me.
00:25:16Oh, gee, I seen your pictures in a million magazines,
00:25:19but the one I cut out was the one with you in poor clothes.
00:25:23He was standing alongside a mug with a megaphone in his hand beside the camera.
00:25:26Have you still got that picture?
00:25:28Oh, sure.
00:25:29I got the picture of you, but the mug with the megaphone, I cut him out.
00:25:33Oh, you cut the mug with the megaphone out.
00:25:36Yeah, I didn't like him.
00:25:38Hi, Joe.
00:25:39Hello, Joe.
00:25:40Oh, Miss Jordan, I think we ought to be going.
00:25:46Oh, I have a very important story conference at the studio.
00:25:49Will you take Miss Jordan home?
00:25:51Why, of course.
00:25:52I, uh, my car don't amount to very much.
00:25:56Oh, I don't mind if you'll take me.
00:25:58Would I?
00:25:59Oh, sure I would.
00:26:02I'll just tell my manager.
00:26:03Will you excuse me a minute?
00:26:04Certainly.
00:26:05Waiter.
00:26:06Yes, sir?
00:26:07How much?
00:26:08A dollar fifty.
00:26:09Thank you, sir.
00:26:12I love you.
00:26:13I love you.
00:26:14I love you.
00:26:17I'm going to take her home.
00:26:18Yes, I'll see you later.
00:26:22It's all right.
00:26:23I can go.
00:26:46Gee, what a layup.
00:26:51What, another room?
00:26:53Do you mind if I look around?
00:26:55No, make yourself at home.
00:26:57Thanks.
00:27:22Oh, gee, this is nice.
00:27:28Gee, you're way on top, ain't you?
00:27:32Aren't those rolling clouds beautiful?
00:27:34Yeah, and they're going places.
00:27:36Going places?
00:27:37Sure.
00:27:38That's what I'm going to do.
00:27:40Field.
00:27:45That's OK for now.
00:27:46But after I get to be the champ, I'm going to start the old head working.
00:27:49I'm not going to be a muggle all my life.
00:27:51No, sir.
00:27:52I'm going places.
00:28:00Yeah, I know.
00:28:01I'm just a fighter.
00:28:02Now, you take Gene Tunny.
00:28:03He had the right idea.
00:28:04He got the dough and quit.
00:28:06Read a lot of books, traveled, improved his mind,
00:28:08and really made something of himself.
00:28:10You know, just being a champ, it doesn't amount to very much.
00:28:13You knock a guy out, everybody gives you the glad hand,
00:28:16you sign a couple of toothpaste ads,
00:28:17then some guy comes along and knocks you out.
00:28:19Then what are you?
00:28:20An ex.
00:28:21Have you ever been knocked out?
00:28:22Well, uh, once.
00:28:24Oh, that was when I was a punk.
00:28:26Did it hurt?
00:28:27Nah.
00:28:28Oh, the birds did sing for a few minutes.
00:28:30Tell me about it.
00:28:31Well, you see, it was my second bout.
00:28:33The other fighter's name was One-Round Logan.
00:28:35I was doing great until the fourth round.
00:28:37All of a sudden, my chin connected with his fist.
00:28:39The skies opened up, the angels was calling.
00:28:41Of course, I couldn't hear them.
00:28:44Silly.
00:28:45I've married every leading man in motion pictures.
00:28:48Yeah, but look, you don't really care for all those guys
00:28:52you kiss in the movies, do you?
00:28:54Why do you ask?
00:28:55Oh, I don't know.
00:28:57Must be kind of tough on you, kissing a lot of guys
00:28:59you don't even like.
00:29:00Well, I don't know.
00:29:01I don't care.
00:29:02I don't care.
00:29:03I don't care.
00:29:04I don't care.
00:29:05I don't care.
00:29:06I don't care.
00:29:07I don't care.
00:29:08I don't care.
00:29:09I don't care.
00:29:10I don't care.
00:29:11I don't care.
00:29:12Kissing a lot of guys you don't even like.
00:29:14Of course, it would be different if...
00:29:24Oh, I'm sorry.
00:29:25I didn't mean it.
00:29:26I guess I must have forgotten myself.
00:29:31You're a diamond in the rough.
00:29:38What are you sore about?
00:29:40Oh, I could be sore.
00:29:42Ever since you picked up with this actarine,
00:29:45you're training like a sissy.
00:29:47Gee, what's the matter with you?
00:29:49Oh, nothing, nothing.
00:29:51Only I have to stand by and watch your game ruin you.
00:29:53That's all.
00:29:54Listen, Joe, unless we leave for Arrowhead tonight,
00:29:58I'm through with you.
00:29:59Tonight?
00:30:00Yes, tonight.
00:30:01And while we're at it, I'd like to ask you a few questions.
00:30:04Sure.
00:30:05You've known this girl three weeks.
00:30:08How do you spend your time?
00:30:10What do you mean?
00:30:11Well, just what do you do when you're together?
00:30:13Have you met any of her swell friends?
00:30:15Does she take you to any of these swank clubs
00:30:17where the movie crowd hang out?
00:30:19Pete, that's just what I'm trying to tell you.
00:30:21She doesn't go in for that kind of stuff.
00:30:22She don't, eh?
00:30:23No, she'd rather be alone with me.
00:30:25You know, in some quiet spot like near the beach.
00:30:28Near the beach.
00:30:29That's because she don't want to be seen with you.
00:30:33Hey, Pete.
00:30:35You think I got a chance to win a championship?
00:30:37Think.
00:30:39I'm sure of it.
00:30:40Yeah, why?
00:30:41Because.
00:30:43You got a punch in that right hand that's like a ton of brick.
00:30:47Yeah?
00:30:49Well, if you don't want to feel yourself on the other end of it,
00:30:51no wise cracks about her.
00:30:53That's plain enough, ain't it?
00:30:56Hey, Pete.
00:31:02You want to leave tonight?
00:31:04Yeah.
00:31:06Tag.
00:31:08Oak.
00:31:15You know, Pete.
00:31:17I've been thinking about you.
00:31:19I've been thinking about you.
00:31:21I've been thinking about you.
00:31:24What's the matter with you, Gloria?
00:31:26I don't know.
00:31:28I just went all to pieces.
00:31:30Miss Jordan is on the verge of a breakdown.
00:31:33But I can't rest.
00:31:34I told you.
00:31:36We must finish the picture.
00:31:38We just have to.
00:31:40I've advised the trip.
00:31:42In fact, if she doesn't go away, she may have a complete breakdown.
00:31:47I want to talk to Gloria.
00:31:49Alone, please.
00:32:01It was a rotten act, kid.
00:32:04I don't know what you mean.
00:32:06The gag.
00:32:07What's it all about?
00:32:09I don't know what you mean.
00:32:11It was a rotten act, kid.
00:32:13I don't know what you mean.
00:32:16What?
00:32:17You want to go away.
00:32:18Why?
00:32:22Joe's going.
00:32:25Help me get away.
00:32:27I won't be able to stand it if he goes.
00:32:30Say, are you on the level with this kid?
00:32:34I love him.
00:32:38All right, only I'd have liked you better if you hadn't pulled that stunt.
00:32:41I'll finish your part in the picture in the next two days.
00:32:46You're not angry?
00:32:48What about?
00:32:51Because I love Joe?
00:32:56I hope it works out swell.
00:33:11Come on, Joe.
00:33:12The right hand now, that's it.
00:33:14Keep circling around, Joe.
00:33:15The left hand now.
00:33:16Left hand.
00:33:18I'm telling you, boys, Joe Flynn's the next middleweight champ of the world.
00:33:21He ain't just a slugger.
00:33:23He's got a noodle.
00:33:24And he uses it, too.
00:33:26And by the way, he's got ambition.
00:33:28Is Joe a hard kid to handle?
00:33:30Hard?
00:33:31No, he's just like a baby.
00:33:32He does everything I tell him.
00:33:34He's a good kid.
00:33:36He's a good kid.
00:33:38No, he's just like a baby.
00:33:39He does everything I tell him.
00:33:41He's up at 5 o'clock and on the road.
00:33:43And at 8 o'clock, he's in his bed.
00:33:45I'm telling you, boys, it's in the bag.
00:33:48And you can go tell your bosses to get the headline newspapers ready.
00:33:51And here's how it's going to read.
00:33:53Joe Flynn, new middleweight champion.
00:33:56Look at him, don't he look sweet?
00:33:58Punch a little harder, Joe.
00:34:09Tom!
00:34:12You old so-and-so, what brought you here?
00:34:15Just a craving to see you, dear.
00:34:18It's good to see you.
00:34:19Come on in.
00:34:23Well, where's my guiding star?
00:34:25Out training.
00:34:26Training?
00:34:27Training for what?
00:34:28Oh, let's skip it.
00:34:30How'd you do?
00:34:31Take long get-up pace?
00:34:35Joe?
00:34:40Joe?
00:35:06Excuse me.
00:35:08Is this Jordan woman?
00:35:10No, she's not.
00:35:12Well, uh, I'd like to talk to the dame that lives with her.
00:35:16I'm the dame?
00:35:18What's bothering you?
00:35:19Joe Flynn.
00:35:20He's not bothering me.
00:35:21He's just driving me nuts.
00:35:23He and this dame that you're living with.
00:35:25Did you say dame?
00:35:27Yes, I said dame.
00:35:29I don't care if she's Gloria Jordan or Sarah Beinhart.
00:35:32She's nothing but a dame to me.
00:35:35And she's ruining my boy.
00:35:37Hello, Pete.
00:35:40Oh, hello.
00:35:41I'm glad you're here.
00:35:42What's wrong, Pete?
00:35:43Everything.
00:35:44Say, listen, you know when a fighter's training,
00:35:46he's supposed to be training these.
00:35:48Well, he's not supposed to see dames.
00:35:51You know what I mean, don't you?
00:35:53I know what you're talking about.
00:35:55And believe me, brother, I feel sorry for you.
00:35:57Because you and 10 men couldn't talk that dame out of what she wants.
00:36:01You mean not even if you explained it to her?
00:36:03She knows the facts of life.
00:36:05Yeah, I know.
00:36:06But I think if she liked them, she'd leave them alone, don't you?
00:36:09If the average woman cared, she would.
00:36:12Gloria Jordan does exactly as she pleases.
00:36:15And she doesn't care who gets her.
00:36:17Oh, I see.
00:36:18Well, what am I supposed to do?
00:36:21Stick around and suffer.
00:36:23You've got company.
00:36:27Tom!
00:36:30Oh, what a surprise!
00:36:34How are you, darling?
00:36:35Oh, fine.
00:36:36You know Joe?
00:36:37Well, of course.
00:36:38How are you, Joe?
00:36:39Fine, how are you?
00:36:40This is Pete Miller, my manager.
00:36:42I'm glad to know you.
00:36:44Joe talks about you all the time.
00:36:46Thanks.
00:36:47Well, I'll be going.
00:36:48Won't you stay for a drink?
00:36:49No, and he can't drink.
00:36:51Of course not.
00:36:52Only milk.
00:36:53I'm very careful of Joe's diet.
00:36:55It's much better now since she stopped cooking for him.
00:36:58Don't listen to her.
00:36:59Joe tells me that if he wins this fight,
00:37:01it'll be because of you.
00:37:03I'm doing my best.
00:37:04You know, miss, there's certain things a fighter
00:37:06ought not to be doing.
00:37:07Like staying up late.
00:37:08It's getting late now.
00:37:09Come on, let's shove off.
00:37:13Good night, Mr. Miller.
00:37:15Take good care of him.
00:37:16And come over often.
00:37:17I'd love to have you.
00:37:19Good night, Tom.
00:37:20Good night.
00:37:23Tomorrow night.
00:37:24Good night.
00:37:29That hypocrite.
00:37:30He hates me.
00:37:31Hypocrite?
00:37:33He tries to keep Joe from seeing me.
00:37:35Sweet chance he has.
00:37:37Gloria, my dear, did it ever occur to you
00:37:39that that hypocrite might have excellent reasons
00:37:42for keeping Flynn away?
00:37:44Certainly.
00:37:45He's jealous.
00:37:46Oh, come here.
00:37:50Oh, it's good to see you.
00:37:52I feel as though I've been gone a long time.
00:37:54You have, and that's why I'm here.
00:37:56By the way, did you read that manuscript
00:37:58you brought up here with you?
00:37:59Of course.
00:38:00What do you think of it?
00:38:02It can be improved.
00:38:04Great war scenes, though, don't you think?
00:38:06Oh, yes.
00:38:07They're marvelous.
00:38:09Yeah.
00:38:12Aren't there any war scenes in it?
00:38:14No, my dear.
00:38:18I'll read it tonight, honestly.
00:38:21I'm so in love.
00:38:23Why waste time reading scripts when life is so grand?
00:38:27Nevertheless, you must read it.
00:38:30I'll start now.
00:38:33I wonder where it is.
00:38:35It's under the kitchen stove.
00:38:37The dog was playing with it.
00:38:47Examiner, time, cigarettes, anything else?
00:38:51Did you see Joe?
00:38:52He'll be over later.
00:38:55There.
00:38:58Say, could old Uncle Tom speak seriously for a moment?
00:39:02If you don't drag out your bloodhound.
00:39:04What is it, a lecture?
00:39:06I talked to some reporters over at the hotel.
00:39:08Oh, about me?
00:39:10Do they know I'm here?
00:39:11They don't even know you're alive.
00:39:12Fancy that.
00:39:13Shut up.
00:39:14This is serious.
00:39:15They tell me that Joe's slipping.
00:39:17What do they mean by that?
00:39:18Well, he started training like a houseifier.
00:39:20Now he's slowed down to a walk.
00:39:22The betting odds against him are going up.
00:39:24Against him?
00:39:25Why, the idea.
00:39:27Then I'll bet for him.
00:39:29How much are they betting?
00:39:31Gracie Allen's little missing sister or I lose my bet.
00:39:35Tell me, darling, do you have a little blue hat?
00:39:38If she has, I want her to pack it and get back to town.
00:39:41Why?
00:39:42So Flynn will have a chance to do some serious training.
00:39:44Then he may have a chance of winning that championship.
00:39:47Well, I won't do it.
00:39:49I'm not hurting him.
00:39:50I'm encouraging him.
00:39:51I tell him he's going to win.
00:39:52It builds up his morale.
00:39:54And besides, I'm getting tired of people criticizing
00:39:56everything that I do.
00:39:58I work so hard and I try so hard.
00:40:00And nobody understands you and we just
00:40:02hope you're not going to cry.
00:40:05I'm not.
00:40:06I'm going to read the paper.
00:40:16She can read.
00:40:20No, she can't.
00:40:21She's looking at the pictures.
00:40:25Funny, isn't it?
00:40:26After living a life of luxury for years,
00:40:28I still automatically pick up the want ad section.
00:40:50I've been thinking things over.
00:40:52I've been thinking things over.
00:40:53I've been thinking things over.
00:40:54I've been thinking things over.
00:40:55I've been thinking things over.
00:40:56I've been thinking things over.
00:40:57I've been thinking things over.
00:40:58I've been thinking things over.
00:40:59I've been thinking things over.
00:41:00I've been thinking things over.
00:41:01I've been thinking things over.
00:41:02I've been thinking things over.
00:41:03I've been thinking things over.
00:41:04I've been thinking things over.
00:41:05I've been thinking things over.
00:41:06I've been thinking things over.
00:41:07I've been thinking things over.
00:41:08I've been thinking things over.
00:41:09I've been thinking things over.
00:41:10I've been thinking things over.
00:41:11I've been thinking things over.
00:41:12I've been thinking things over.
00:41:13I've been thinking things over.
00:41:14I've been thinking things over.
00:41:16I've been thinking things over.
00:41:17And perhaps you're right.
00:41:18I'll go back.
00:41:19That's fine.
00:41:20What's come over you?
00:41:22Why, I wouldn't hurt Joe for anything in the world.
00:41:25And if I thought my staying here hurt him, why, I'll leave.
00:41:29I'll leave today.
00:41:32Tom, would you please go over and say goodbye to him for me?
00:41:37I wouldn't know how.
00:41:40All right.
00:41:42I'm all right.
00:41:47She can be regular when she wants to be.
00:41:49That's the only reason I hang around.
00:41:51Just when I'm ready to wring her neck, she does something decent,
00:41:54and I'm all gaga again.
00:42:12What's the matter?
00:42:14You don't know?
00:42:15Why, of course not.
00:42:17I just don't.
00:42:18That's what I think of your cheap, flying little mouth.
00:42:21What's the matter?
00:42:23You don't know?
00:42:24Why, of course not.
00:42:26I just don't.
00:42:27That's what I think of your cheap, flying little mouth.
00:42:51What are you doing?
00:42:52Packing.
00:42:53I'm clearing out.
00:42:55I wouldn't spend another day in your house for all the tea and china.
00:42:58But why?
00:43:00Because you're a liar and a cheat.
00:43:05I didn't see that picture in the paper until just now.
00:43:09Do you think that's the reason I decided to go back?
00:43:12Don't make me slap you again.
00:43:21Here's the box I wanted you to have.
00:43:23It's all perfumed inside.
00:43:25I don't want it.
00:43:26It smells like you.
00:43:28Oh, please take it.
00:43:30I don't want it.
00:43:35What are you going to do?
00:43:37I'll do all right.
00:43:41Don't forget you have a benefit to play on the 29th.
00:43:44All right.
00:43:46Anything else?
00:43:47I've got a couple of fur coats at best length being remodeled.
00:43:51Well, you can have them.
00:43:52I don't want them.
00:43:57What are you doing?
00:43:58Just smoothing, smoothing things.
00:44:01You know, you always were bad at packing.
00:44:09I don't want it.
00:44:10I don't want it.
00:44:11I don't want it.
00:44:12I don't want it.
00:44:14Remember the time that we were kicked out of that apartment
00:44:16because we couldn't pay our rent?
00:44:18Which apartment?
00:44:20The one on Sunset Boulevard.
00:44:23You were so mad when you packed, you let the trail of my underwear
00:44:27clear from Harlem to Vine.
00:44:30That was funny, wasn't it?
00:44:32I don't think so.
00:44:35We only had $8 between us.
00:44:38I bought a hat.
00:44:40You didn't buy a hat.
00:44:41You didn't buy a hat.
00:44:42You made a down payment on the $30 one.
00:44:46But it got me a job.
00:44:48Remember?
00:44:49I felt so swell in it that I just wouldn't take no for an answer.
00:44:56We've had lots of fun together, haven't we?
00:45:02I don't think so.
00:45:05Oh, why can't you be a regular guy you used to be?
00:45:10I will if you won't leave me.
00:45:13I love you better than anyone in the world.
00:45:18I know I don't tell the truth all the time.
00:45:22But this is one time that you're wrong.
00:45:25I didn't see those pictures.
00:45:29Don't you believe me?
00:45:32No, but what the heck can I do?
00:45:40Let's go.
00:46:04Great work, Joe.
00:46:05Keep it up and you'll be our next champ.
00:46:07Thanks.
00:46:08How's Gloria?
00:46:09Fine.
00:46:10Joe, Gloria's convinced us that fighters and dames don't mix.
00:46:15She's, well, she's only thinking of me.
00:46:18Sure, you know how much this championship means to her.
00:46:21We don't talk about nothing else.
00:46:23Ain't nothing gonna stop me.
00:46:25She just couldn't bring herself to say goodbye.
00:46:30Huh?
00:46:31Goodbye?
00:46:32Yeah.
00:46:33What do you mean?
00:46:34Well, you've got a lot of training to do and the big fight's only two weeks away.
00:46:38Yeah, she's right.
00:46:40I'm gonna put everything I got into it, too.
00:46:42Gee, it's great to fight for somebody.
00:46:45You know, this fight ain't just for the championship.
00:46:48Thanks.
00:46:49And I'll never forget you for introducing us.
00:46:51Say, you're gonna be the ringside, ain't you?
00:46:53I got seats for you.
00:46:54Thanks, Joe.
00:46:55And you've got to win this fight, kid.
00:46:57I'll be pulling for you.
00:46:59Oh, gee, thanks.
00:47:09Now, remember, you throw her out when you get your cue and not before.
00:47:12Be careful of that, will you?
00:47:13Yes, sir.
00:47:14And when I give the cue for lightning, I want lightning and not rain.
00:47:18I'm getting sick of this, I don't mind telling you.
00:47:21Better take another shot.
00:47:22All right.
00:47:23Say, Chief.
00:47:24What?
00:47:25Miss Jordan's voice is shot.
00:47:26She's very tired.
00:47:27Yeah?
00:47:28Says she's soaked to the skin.
00:47:29Well, that's just too bad about her.
00:47:31I'm soaked.
00:47:32We're all soaked.
00:47:33We're all soaked.
00:47:35Now, Gloria, be a good girl, will you?
00:47:37Do you suppose this is any picnic for me or the boys?
00:47:39Now, let me tell you something.
00:47:41When the public sees this picture, they're not interested in how tough it was to make.
00:47:45All they're interested in is entertainment.
00:47:47Why don't you pull that big punch line?
00:47:49The show must go on.
00:47:50That's always sure fire.
00:47:51Oh, come on now, Gloria.
00:47:53Be a good girl.
00:47:54I'm all in, I tell you.
00:47:55Now, Gloria, be a good girl, will you?
00:47:57Do you suppose this is any picnic for me or the boys?
00:47:59Now, let me tell you something.
00:48:00When the public sees this picture, they're not interested in how tough it was to make.
00:48:03Come on now, Gloria.
00:48:04Be a good girl and snap into this now, will you?
00:48:07Come on now.
00:48:08Then you can all go home.
00:48:10And remember, now, this is a musical.
00:48:12And you're singing a torch song, so snap into it, will you?
00:48:15Come on now.
00:48:16Do this for me like a good girl.
00:48:17Now, get in there.
00:48:18Come on.
00:48:19All right.
00:48:20Now, you all set.
00:48:21Now, be ready with your lightning now.
00:48:24Give them a whistle.
00:48:26All right.
00:48:27Get your numbers.
00:48:28Your cameras all set.
00:48:29892, take 15.
00:48:30OK.
00:48:31Come on out.
00:48:33Check.
00:48:35Check.
00:48:36Check.
00:48:46Standoff.
00:48:47Stay off.
00:49:02Why does this heart of mine keep falling each time I find a man, I dream a plan to make him my lover divine?
00:49:32Now, what's the matter now?
00:49:34I can't. I can't. I tell you I can't go on with it. I'm all in.
00:49:38All right, lock them up. We'll all go home. Eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
00:49:42Everybody on the set, 8.30 tomorrow.
00:49:44Yeah, uh...
00:49:52Uh, Miss Jordan, Miss Evans is on the phone in Mr. Mullins' office. She said it's very important.
00:49:58I'll be right back.
00:50:03Hello? Molly?
00:50:06What? What about Roger?
00:50:08Better think up a good one, dear.
00:50:11Roger's here giving a gentlemanly impersonation of a sore owl.
00:50:16He's heard all about your vacation.
00:50:19Wait a minute. You don't know the half of it.
00:50:22Joe got into town and he's coming over.
00:50:24What? Joe?
00:50:26Well, he and Roger mustn't meet.
00:50:29What'll I do?
00:50:31I'll phone Joe.
00:50:33Tell him I'm working tonight and I'll call him after I finish.
00:50:37I'll see you later.
00:50:38How are you?
00:50:42I'm unhappy.
00:50:43Liars generally are. I often wonder why they'd bother.
00:50:47You going to marry Pentley?
00:50:50I don't know. Yes.
00:50:52Well, that's a typical Jordan remark. I don't know, yes.
00:50:57What are you going to do about Joe? Set him up in housekeeping?
00:51:00Of course not. I'm going to tell him the truth.
00:51:04I was wrong to love him. I never could be happy with him.
00:51:07Naturally not. Your cheap little soul craves other things.
00:51:12There's a name for what you're doing, you know.
00:51:15Oh, I'm not going to insult you.
00:51:17I've known girls of that kind I liked.
00:51:19Only what I liked in them I find lacking in you.
00:51:22What do you mean?
00:51:23Honesty.
00:51:24I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:26No? All right, then I'll tell you.
00:51:28You don't need to. Why don't you leave me alone?
00:51:31I'm going to. I don't know why I've hung around here this long.
00:51:35Unless it was to catch a glimpse now and then of someone I used to know.
00:51:38You're jealous. You preach to me and pretend to be so good.
00:51:42And all it is, is jealousy.
00:51:44That's the most intelligent response I've ever heard.
00:51:47That's the most intelligent remark I've heard from you in a long time.
00:51:51Only it's not entirely correct.
00:51:55You know, Gloria, ten years ago I used to know a girl named Edith Johnson.
00:52:00If anybody had hurt her, I'd have killed him.
00:52:04And that would have been the end of everything.
00:52:08But life plays some very peculiar pranks.
00:52:12It had me stand by and watch her die by inches.
00:52:16Some of her honesty gone here, some of her freshness there.
00:52:20Until you aren't even beautiful to me anymore.
00:52:24Do you hear that?
00:52:26You're drunk.
00:52:28That's right. I'm drunk with relief.
00:52:31I'm seeing you as you really are.
00:52:33As cheap and tawdry as the things you worship.
00:52:37Edith Johnson is dead.
00:52:40And I've been going around worshipping her doggone corpse.
00:52:46Let's write Edith's epitaph.
00:52:49Here lies Edith Johnson, a nice kid while she lasted, but she didn't last long.
00:52:54Dead of Hollywooditis.
00:52:56Press agent cirrhosis.
00:52:58A victim to the altar of the great god foreflush.
00:53:02May she lie in peace.
00:53:05As consistently as her counterpart lies and lies and lies.
00:53:17And that's a darn good epitaph.
00:53:22You're drunk.
00:53:24You're crazy drunk.
00:53:32Tom, what's the matter with me marrying a man who can give me wealth and security?
00:53:37A man who I'd be proud of.
00:53:39Well if he's such a swell guy, why not give him a break?
00:53:42What do you mean?
00:53:44Let him marry someone that he'll be proud of.
00:53:47By the way, are you going to tell him about Joe?
00:53:50Oh, of course not.
00:53:52And only in your last picture you spent three reels trying to prove to the audience that a woman should tell.
00:54:00Oh, you'll never learn.
00:54:04I'm going to tell Joe.
00:54:06I'm going to tell him tonight.
00:54:09I'm going to be honest with him.
00:54:11I'm going to be honest with him.
00:54:13Of course it's not going to be easy.
00:54:16Well now what's the matter?
00:54:18You say you're going to tell him tonight?
00:54:22Yes.
00:54:24What's the matter with that?
00:54:27Nothing, not a thing. You're amazing, that's all.
00:54:31Say, don't you ever think of anyone but yourself?
00:54:34You went out of your way to meet that boy. You told him that you loved him and you got him to believing it.
00:54:38And now that you've had your fun, you've decided to grab off the big prize.
00:54:41But not content with that, you're going to be honest with him and tell him the night before his big fight so that you can break his heart.
00:54:49You...
00:54:51Oh, what's the use?
00:54:56Then you think I shouldn't tell him tonight?
00:55:00If you do, I'll invite the press and give myself the long-delayed pleasure of wringing that beautiful white neck of yours.
00:55:09Now get out of my office.
00:55:11Get out!
00:55:20Did you get Joe?
00:55:21No.
00:55:23What'll I tell him?
00:55:25Oh, anything. Tell him it was a publicity stunt.
00:55:29Hello, Roger, dear.
00:55:31Hello, darling.
00:55:33Oh, I'm dreadfully tired. Mind pouring me a drink?
00:55:36Certainly.
00:55:42Thanks, old dear. Aren't you drinking?
00:55:44No, thanks. I've had quite a few today.
00:55:46Who with? Not a woman?
00:55:48No, with an old classmate of mine who's just returned from Arrowhead.
00:55:51Arrowhead? I spent my vacation there.
00:55:54Yes, but you didn't tell me you spent it with a prizefighter.
00:55:59But, Roger, dear...
00:56:02Darling, you don't understand.
00:56:05Evening.
00:56:06Is Jordan home?
00:56:07Yes, she's in the study, sir.
00:56:08Thanks.
00:56:09It was a publicity stunt. That's what it was.
00:56:13You don't really think this common little prizefighter means anything to me.
00:56:17True, I went out of my way to meet him and encourage him.
00:56:20True, I went out of my way to meet him and encourage him.
00:56:23Just a publicity stunt.
00:56:25If he wins the championship, I'll jump into the ring, throw my arms around him,
00:56:28the cameras will click, and the next day my picture will be front page news.
00:56:33Don't you see, darling?
00:56:39They feel all right, champ?
00:56:41You see, kid, I'm beginning to call you the champ already.
00:56:44We'll win.
00:56:46Aw, come on, relax.
00:56:48Remember, we're going places.
00:56:55Oh, forget her.
00:56:57How can I forget her when you keep talking about her all the time?
00:57:02Okay, Pete, main event.

00:57:19Come on, Pete!
00:57:45Good luck, boy.
00:57:49Ladies and gentlemen,
00:57:52for the middleweight championship of the world,
00:57:55here tonight, ten rounds to a decision.
00:57:59In this corner, at 155 pounds,
00:58:02Joe Clint.
00:58:06And in this corner, at 158 pounds,
00:58:10Mike Ferrara.
00:58:1315 middleweights of the world,
00:58:16referees are pairing.
00:58:18Come on, get the other one.
00:58:21Listen, I want a nice, clean fight.
00:58:23No holding, no fighting.
00:58:25When I say break, step back and protect yourself at all times.
00:58:27When one man is knocked down, the one standing goes as far as the corner.
00:58:30Now, shake hands and go to your corners.
00:58:32When you hear that bell, come out and fight.
00:58:38Now, remember, Joe, box him and make him come to you.
00:58:47Come on, Joe.
00:59:01Boy, it's boring.
00:59:02Nothing's changing like blows.
00:59:04Oh, that Flynn boy sure looks good.
00:59:06He's a great specimen of manhood.
00:59:08Now, they're circling the ring now,
00:59:10taking it easy, sort of feeling each other out.
00:59:12Ferrara leads with a hard right.
00:59:14Flynn blocks it.
00:59:15Flynn comes back with a body punch,
00:59:17and Ferrara blocks and answers with a left.
00:59:19Oh, boy!
00:59:20Flynn shot a hard one to Ferrara's jaw and how it connected.
00:59:23He follows with a left and another one.
00:59:25The champ just sent a hard one into Flynn's ribs.
00:59:45That's well, kid.
00:59:47You're doing great.
00:59:48I told you he was only a flash.
00:59:50Listen, look out for his right hand
00:59:53and make him come to you.
00:59:59She might at least have been here.
01:00:01Kitten!
01:00:04Kitten!
01:00:06Kitten!
01:00:07Kitten!
01:00:10Nobody's getting a cat like you, buddy.
01:00:13Just don't get hurt, kid.
01:00:17I believe in you,마
01:00:18Don't worry and as long as you have me at your side,
01:00:24I'll be at your side.
01:00:26Come on, Joe!
01:00:42And now he's up on his feet again.
01:01:05Oh, boy, what a fight!
01:01:06Oh, you radio listeners, it's too bad you're not here.

01:01:45You've got him, he's a saint.
01:01:47That guy's plenty tough.
01:01:48Play it well.

01:02:11often taking a lot of money for him there it looked like he was coming along but
01:02:15the camp experience is telling a story and they go into
01:02:18a clinch as the bell in the round. Come on
01:02:24Roger we must go it's too exciting to me.
01:02:39He's
01:02:40a good kid but I'm afraid the chance to match them. You're doing great
01:02:46Joe keep using your right hand give him all you got it only takes one to put him
01:02:51away remember Joe we're going places.

01:04:49a lot. Of Joe keep on using your right hand. When
01:04:55made in that last round before the camp for
01:04:58a couple of things that are going to be right off to the gym.

01:05:33Just the publicity stuff. Don't you see Roger.
01:05:49I'll jump into the ring.
01:06:19.
01:06:31When they had the fight scene and something happened he dropped his guard the
01:06:35champs already with life and left to the heart at no time did Flynn make any
01:06:40attempt to protect himself then the champ went to the haymaker and Flynn went down.
01:06:45Come on kid don't worry as long as you're not hurt that's all I care
01:06:49about why we'll get
01:06:50a return match with her there and you'll put them away in no time look at me look

01:07:16right. I'm so happy that you're not hurt I'll let you publicity my publicity
