00:00 [music]
00:19 You have a date with the angel, starring Betty White.
00:25 Bill Williams as Gus Angel, presented by Plymouth.
00:32 Star of the forward look, and the Plymouth dealers of America.
00:41 The time, three months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:45 The main character, call me honey.
00:48 The plot, everybody else does.
00:52 [music]
00:58 And this is the reservations list, and that's the room index.
01:02 Now, I can't impress upon you too strongly that the main attractions at this hotel are rest and quiet.
01:10 So, eliminate the loud mouths before they register.
01:15 I've been in the hotel business all my life, sir.
01:18 This is your first night at this hotel, Mr. Slyke, and we can't be too careful.
01:23 Now, oh yes, Mrs. Lyons in '57 is virtually a year-round guest.
01:29 Then we have a Mr. Stacy, L. Stacy, who is a bit of a loud problem.
01:35 But don't get smart with him, because he's a Texan, and he can buy the hotel and have us all fired.
01:43 Oh, incidentally, in his bovine way, he's in love with the young lady who's singing out there.
01:49 Oh, Mr. Corey, I know my craft.
01:52 Huh? Oh, well, all right.
01:56 Good night. Good night.
01:58 [music]
02:09 What do you think, sweetie?
02:10 Oh, Gus, it's beautiful.
02:18 Good evening, sir, madam.
02:20 Hi, reservations for Mr. and Mrs. August Angel.
02:23 Angel? Oh, certainly, sir. Delighted to have you with us.
02:34 How you doing, honey?
02:43 The reason my girlfriend never got the letters that she moved to Milwaukee.
02:49 Oh, I knew you'd be surprised.
03:00 Later, honey.
03:05 Be with you in a minute, sweetie.
03:07 I was just telling your husband, Mr. Angel, if you come here for relaxation, you've come to the right place.
03:13 The people are very friendly here.
03:19 They certainly are.
03:20 Your luggage, sir?
03:21 It's in the car.
03:22 Oh, front boy.
03:24 Mr. Angel's luggage?
03:26 White Plymouth convertible out front.
03:28 There's room to this way.
03:31 Another thing you can count on if you're looking for relaxation is absolutely nothing ever happens here.
03:43 ♪ It's deeper, dear, by far than any ocean by far. ♪
03:54 Tracy!
04:05 Please, Jimmy, I can handle this.
04:09 All right, folks, the excitement's over.
04:18 Look, I'm sorry, honey, I just saw a red one at the...
04:21 Well, I'm sorry.
04:23 I can't stand those buzzards making eyes at you.
04:27 That buzzard happens to be the most important man in this town.
04:31 He's happily married, he has three lovely children.
04:35 He was asking me to sing at the Chamber of Commerce picnic.
04:39 Oh.
04:40 Oh.
04:41 He should have said something.
04:44 It's a little hard to talk while you're flying through a door.
04:49 Stacy, I need this job.
04:52 Not if you marry me, you don't.
04:54 Look at that, the song stylings of Honey Mitchell.
04:58 Where's that gonna get you?
05:00 Well, you don't even own that piano.
05:02 You big clown.
05:04 And don't you dare buy it for me, either.
05:06 Now, you listen, honey.
05:07 You told me you've been waiting all your life to marry the first fathead that came along with a million bucks.
05:13 So?
05:14 So here I am.
05:18 I've changed my mind, I'm not working here.
05:23 Oh, no, you don't.
05:25 There are a few customers in there you haven't thrown out yet.
05:29 Let's keep it that way.
05:36 Oh, boy.
05:39 Isn't this the greatest?
05:41 Uh-huh.
05:42 What do you want to do today?
05:44 Nothing.
05:47 You know what I think I'll do?
05:49 I think I'll go to the village and have someone shave me for change.
05:55 A barber might be nice.
06:01 While I'm gone, why don't you get dressed and meet me on the terrace later on?
06:06 Instead of that, why don't I get dressed and meet you on the terrace later on?
06:18 How did it go last night?
06:20 Quiet as a mouse eating cottage cheese, sir.
06:26 Oh, good morning, Mrs. Lyons.
06:28 Good morning.
06:30 Oh, it's you.
06:32 I thought it was a masher.
06:35 Which would have been nice.
06:45 You!
06:47 The reason my girlfriend moved to Milwaukee was--
06:51 Well, come closer, dear.
06:52 You can't expect me to shout across the lobby.
06:57 The reason my girlfriend moved to Milwaukee was--
07:03 I liked your hair better the way you wore it last night.
07:08 This is the way I wore it last night.
07:11 Poor baby.
07:13 That face has got you so you can't even think straight.
07:16 Now, why don't you tell Mrs. Lyons all about it?
07:22 I know exactly what you're going through.
07:24 You'd marry Stacy in a minute if he didn't have all that money.
07:27 And then, of course, that jealous streak of his.
07:29 Well, that's something else again.
07:30 But you know deep in your heart that he really loves you or he wouldn't be jealous.
07:34 So it is the money, after all.
07:36 You're afraid that if you marry him, everybody will say you married him because he was rich.
07:40 Because you've always said you married the first millionaire who came along.
07:43 And then you think after you've been married for a year or two, he'd remember that.
07:47 Why don't you tell Mrs. Lyons all about it?
07:54 Why bother?
07:56 That's the latest bulletin.
07:58 Well, I say you don't know.
07:59 I'm absolutely sure about Stacy.
08:01 You'd better stop shopping around for a new man.
08:04 Thank you.
08:05 You're welcome, dear.
08:07 And do try to get some rest.
08:08 You look terrible.
08:13 Thanks again.
08:15 You've set me up for the entire day.
08:17 Well, I try.
08:19 Where are you going?
08:21 Backstage.
08:23 Oh, uh, madam, I don't think our guests are allowed backstage.
08:26 Oh, for heaven's sake.
08:29 Madam!
08:31 Oh, say, Frank.
08:33 I want you to deliver this to Miss Mitchell for me when she comes down to breakfast.
08:36 It'll probably be about noon.
08:38 Oh, well, I'm sorry.
08:39 I don't know the young lady.
08:41 I'm new here.
08:42 Oh, well, I got her this ring.
08:44 You think she'll like it?
08:50 Why so funny?
08:52 It looks like the headlight on a locomotive.
08:56 Now, I know it's not much of a ring.
08:58 I only paid $11,000 for it.
09:00 $11,000?
09:02 I'm sorry.
09:03 I thought it was some sort of a joke or something.
09:06 I really don't know, Miss Mitchell.
09:08 I'm new here.
09:13 Oh, Mrs. Lyons, ma'am?
09:15 Hello.
09:17 Oh, it's you, Mr. Stacy.
09:20 Thrown anybody out of the hotel yet this morning?
09:23 No, ma'am.
09:25 Mrs. Lyons, I wonder if you'd give this present to Miss Honey for me.
09:29 It's the kind to make up for the ruckus I caused last night and all.
09:32 You know, she's not exactly talking to me.
09:37 Well, this should make her start talking.
09:41 I'll give it to her.
09:42 But I think it's only fair to warn you she's shopping around for a new man.
09:46 Oh, no, ma'am.
09:47 Miss Honey wouldn't do that.
09:48 Now, you just--
09:50 Well, you make up something to tell her, huh?
09:53 Buying Honey presents won't win her, Stacy.
09:56 Well, what will then?
09:59 I don't know exactly.
10:02 Have you tried paw-petting?
10:12 At work, will you see that this is sent up to my wife and make a big production out of it?
10:22 Do you think she'll like these?
10:24 I'm sure they'll be most welcome, sir.
10:28 It's a gag.
10:29 We've only been married a short while and we do this sort of thing all the time.
10:32 Mrs. Angell.
10:33 I remember.
10:34 I beg your pardon, sir.
10:36 I couldn't help overhearing what you just said, unaccountable.
10:39 I was deliberately listening.
10:40 Oh, that's all right.
10:42 You might be able to do me a favor, sir, if you remind to.
10:45 My name's Stacy.
10:46 Gus Angell.
10:47 Well, glad to make your acquaintance.
10:49 You know, down home I wouldn't hesitate a minute asking a complete stranger for advice.
10:53 But up here, folks don't always talk to us.
10:55 Sure.
10:58 I don't have a thing to do.
10:59 Well, good.
11:00 Now, I've got a little problem called the Honey Mitchell.
11:02 And you seem to be getting along just fine with your woman.
11:05 So I thought possibly if the four of us could get together somehow, you could contrive to sit with Honey and...
11:12 Oh, there you are, then.
11:15 Where'd you get that?
11:18 Backstage.
11:19 Why?
11:20 Oh, no reason.
11:22 What are you going to do with it?
11:25 Press it.
11:26 Oh, swell.
11:28 But we are going to put it right back where we found it when we get through pressing it, aren't we?
11:36 You may have to take turns.
11:40 My iron only has one handle.
11:43 Oh, excuse me.
11:45 This was left here for you, madame.
11:48 For me?
11:51 I'm sorry.
11:52 I was crotchety.
11:54 Please, call me Honey.
12:01 Oh, hello, uh, Honey.
12:06 Hello. My name is Mrs. Angel.
12:26 Oh, I see it didn't take you long to get your hair fixed.
12:31 I didn't know it showed.
12:35 You're up early, Honey.
12:36 Well, I'm always up early.
12:41 For a minute I thought he meant me, which would have been nice.
12:50 I thought Hollywood was the only place where everybody called people Honey.
12:54 I haven't been called anything else since I got here.
12:57 Oh, dear. A very handsome young man asked me to give this to you.
13:05 Really?
13:06 Mm-hmm.
13:09 That's silly character. I knew he'd do something like this.
13:13 For a minute I thought it was real.
13:15 Oh, now you mustn't laugh, dear.
13:17 He probably paid a great deal of money for that.
13:20 Sure he did. All at 15 cents.
13:25 He can't resist a dime store.
13:32 Guess who?
13:36 Jerome?
13:37 Nope.
13:41 Pierre?
13:42 Nope. Last chance.
13:46 Well, as it turns out, I don't even know you.
13:52 Danislaus!
13:55 That's a silly character.
13:58 Oh, Honey, I want you to...
14:00 I guess I wasn't very good company.
14:04 The nicest lady's been talking to me.
14:06 I don't know what she's been saying, but she's been talking.
14:09 And I was talking to some rich Texan about how to rope and hogtie some girl singer.
14:15 Aren't there friendly people around here?
14:17 Uh-huh.
14:25 Mrs. Coyne, during the time I've lived here in your hotel, I have never seen such an exhibition...
14:30 Hello, John. Hello, Miss Lyons.
14:32 Hello, Cleopatra.
14:36 What?
14:37 Now, Honey, what you do on your off hours is none of my business.
14:43 You're so right.
14:46 Well, anyway, I have heard that you have been indulging in a display of impromptu affection on the terrace today.
14:56 I don't know why I'm bothering to answer this, but I slept all day.
15:01 You want a written excuse?
15:05 Ask her about Danislaus.
15:08 Danislaus?
15:10 Well, anyway, I wish you'd be a little more careful how you flirt with other men.
15:15 Mr. Stacy, you'll throw the whole hotel out in the street, and I'll wind up with a vacant lot.
15:22 As far as I'm concerned, Stacy is a dead issue.
15:27 Which would be nice.
15:29 Ask her about Danislaus.
15:32 I don't care about Danislaus.
15:35 Well, there are other hotels, you know.
15:40 Now, Mrs. Lyons, I...
15:42 Oh, excuse me.
15:48 She's wearing the dress.
15:51 Well, I should hope so.
15:54 Now, about that dress.
15:56 You know, we talked it over, and you promised to put it back after you got through pressing it.
16:00 Hey, buddy, who do you think you are, anyway?
16:03 Nobody.
16:05 Nobody.
16:07 It's all anybody is nobody is me.
16:11 Well, honey, what are you sore about?
16:15 Didn't you get my present?
16:17 Yeah, just what I needed.
16:20 Dry seat covers.
16:32 Guess we could eat here tonight.
16:34 We could.
16:36 But I noticed a place down the road that has dancing.
16:39 Why don't we go there instead?
16:41 Oh, you've got yourself a deal.
16:43 Good.
16:44 And, honey baby, that's what wants to happen.
16:46 You see, this Gus fellow, he wanted to give his new wife those lumens or a joke sort.
16:51 I guess somebody switched the present.
16:56 I'm sorry, Stacy.
16:57 I thought it was your way of being sarcastic.
17:01 I've got to get to work.
17:03 Sing that song. You know the one.
17:24 Day by day
17:27 I'm falling more in love with you
17:32 And day by day
17:35 My love seems to grow
17:42 There isn't any end to my devotion
17:51 It's deeper, dear, by far
17:56 Than any ocean
18:00 I find that day by day
18:07 You're making all my dreams come true
18:12 And come what may
18:15 I want you to know
18:19 I'm yours alone
18:25 And I'm in love today
18:32 As we go through the years
18:37 Day by day
18:40 Day by day
18:43 Day by day
18:53 [applause]
19:03 Let's have a little quiet for the audience, please.
19:11 Say, what's a pretty little girl like you doing in a joint like this?
19:16 She's trying to entertain mavericks like you, friend.
19:20 And I'd be mighty obliged if you'd just close your jaw.
19:24 Stacy.
19:26 Go ahead and sing, honey.
19:28 What would you like to hear?
19:30 The answer to my question.
19:32 What's a pretty little girl like you doing in a joint like this?
19:37 I asked you real nice to close your jaw.
19:43 Go ahead and sing, honey.
19:45 I can handle it, Stacy.
19:46 Sure she can.
19:48 I'm real easy to handle.
19:56 Go ahead and sing, Stacy.
19:58 Now you just go ahead and sing, honey.
20:00 Now go ahead and sing, honey.
20:06 How do you like that guy?
20:08 Drags somebody through the door for making a lot of noise, and then he says,
20:11 "Go ahead and sing, honey."
20:14 Are you making fun of him?
20:17 Heck no.
20:18 All I meant was --
20:21 James.
20:31 Everything's been going wrong lately.
20:34 Do you know what that fathead of a new clerk did?
20:37 He went and gave honey those bloomers that were supposed to be for your wife.
20:42 Yeah, and my wife got quite a kick out of your ring, too.
20:46 Yeah.
20:47 Thanks.
20:48 Well, now if I can over-fry my little old honey pie, maybe I can patch things up.
20:53 Well, maybe I'll see you before you check out, Gus.
20:55 Take it easy, Stacy.
20:56 All right.
20:58 Oh, Harry.
20:59 Oh, hi there, Stacy.
21:01 Harry, you seen honey today?
21:07 Well, uh, yeah.
21:15 Well, now, take it easy, Mr. Stacy.
21:30 Boy.
21:33 Bill Boy.
21:37 Stacy.
21:40 Stacy, I spent all afternoon driving around and thinking and --
21:47 Well, I've made up my mind.
21:50 I'm, uh --
21:52 I'm going to quit my job.
21:54 Well, good luck to you, honey.
21:57 Good.
22:01 These yours?
22:02 Yep.
22:03 Even the dumbest deer knows when he's grazed in the wrong pasture.
22:08 Oh, skip the cow country philosophy, Stacy.
22:12 I'm trying to tell you something.
22:14 Well, you waited a mite too long, didn't you?
22:16 Oh, but Stacy, you're not leaving us, are you?
22:18 Yep.
22:19 Filled up my bill while I put these in the car, please.
22:21 Oh.
22:22 Honey, I want you to know that it was sure a pleasure.
22:25 I don't see you getting --
22:45 Mrs. Lyons, you're not --
22:47 I'm not mentioning any names.
22:49 But a racy element has taken over in your girl singer department.
22:53 Add up my bill.
22:55 Mrs. Lyons, I --
22:59 Oh, no.
23:00 You too?
23:01 I've had it, Mr. Corey.
23:03 There's things going on in this hotel.
23:07 What are you doing, selling luggage?
23:11 I'd like my bill.
23:12 We're checking out.
23:13 Oh, yes.
23:18 Guess we never get here, her thing.
23:20 Honey, while I'm getting the bill, would you get me a package of cigarettes?
23:23 Oh, sure.
23:35 Day by day, I'm falling more in love with you.
23:44 And day by day, I want you to know --
23:51 Oh.
23:52 -- I'm yours alone.
23:58 And I'm in love --
23:59 Oh!
24:03 Everything back to my room.
24:05 Oh, no.
24:07 You heard her.
24:08 I'll take care of the English bill.
24:11 It just went on.
24:15 Goodbye, my dear.
24:17 Goodbye.
24:20 Goodbye, dinosaur.
24:26 Day by day, you're making all my dreams come true.
24:34 Honey, I just want to say --
24:37 Oh.
24:51 Oh!
25:01 Just selling flight.
25:02 The next weekend we have free, we're coming right back up here.
25:06 Oh, we certainly are.
25:08 Honey, you know, the people really are friendly.
25:10 You know, that nice lady said goodbye.
25:12 Have you noticed that, too?
25:13 Yes, and that -- that toy boy from Texas?
25:15 Uh-huh.
25:16 He didn't say so.
25:17 Do you want to come along and say goodbye?
25:29 Got a date with an angel.
25:31 Gonna meet her at seven.
25:33 Got a date with an angel.
25:36 And I'm on my way to heaven.
26:04 Ladies and gentlemen, your Plymouth dealer invites you to watch the Lawrence Weld program's top tunes and new talents on this same network.
26:11 Tom Kennedy speaking.
26:13 Good night, everybody.
26:14 (applause)
