00:01:20Hey, you, come on. I've seen that sleeping act before.
00:01:23You know your ticket ran out at the last stop.
00:01:26How much to San Francisco?
00:01:28$2.25.
00:01:55© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:02:26Yes, three days.
00:02:31So it's three days she's gone.
00:02:33Where do you get off keeping it from the police 72 hours?
00:02:37I didn't want her to get around, Mr. Johnson, that's all.
00:02:40People talk.
00:02:42Stella's a good girl, really she is.
00:02:44I don't want them to talk.
00:02:46Well, we'll find what took her.
00:02:48Why not give it a morning, Johnson?
00:02:50Stella's your aunt.
00:02:52Stella's your aunt.
00:02:54Okay, till morning.
00:02:56You ought to know, Mr. Judd.
00:02:58Good night.
00:03:00Hi, Johnson.
00:03:01Good night.
00:03:02Way down this week, Pop.
00:03:04Nobody plays it with Stella not around.
00:03:06Yeah, I guess not.
00:03:09You don't think she might have done something to herself?
00:03:11Not Stella.
00:03:13Back in New York, I handled 31 suicide cases, personal.
00:03:17Everything from poison to jumping in front of the Flatbush subway.
00:03:21Stella's not the type.
00:03:24Here's your receipt.
00:03:25Thanks, honky.
00:03:26I'll be singing.
00:03:29Cup of coffee, please.
00:03:31It's after 10, we're closed up.
00:03:33And a hamburger, well done, with onions, mustard, relish.
00:03:36What else you want on that hamburger? The whole state of California?
00:03:39What's the population?
00:03:41I'll fix you something.
00:03:52Cigarette?
00:03:53No, thanks.
00:03:54Never touch them.
00:03:56Never touch them.
00:04:20I knew you'd be back.
00:04:24Okay.
00:04:26I'm back.
00:04:27Well, here you are, young man.
00:04:31Stella.
00:04:33You...
00:04:36You're okay.
00:04:38I'm hungry.
00:04:39Right away, Stella, right away.
00:04:43You don't know what it's been like since you went.
00:04:45You won't go away, Stella, will you, again?
00:04:48Well, even more.
00:04:50Drew's waiting for you.
00:04:52I paid him not to touch a thing.
00:04:53You wanted it like that, didn't you, Stella?
00:04:56And to come back to your job here,
00:04:59everything just like it was, as if you'd never been away?
00:05:03That's just how it'll be.
00:05:06After a long rest,
00:05:09you sure look run out.
00:05:11So what?
00:05:13One look at him, and I knew he wasn't any good, I knew...
00:05:16You make me sick.
00:05:19He's finished his coffee, go on.
00:05:22That was the best hamburger I never ate.
00:05:25Sorry, come back later.
00:05:26I mean tomorrow.
00:05:28I'm closing up.
00:05:29How much?
00:05:30It's okay.
00:05:31It's not okay.
00:05:33He got his coffee, let him pay for it.
00:05:35Five cents.
00:05:55Five cents.
00:06:21Good evening.
00:06:23Professor Madley, please.
00:06:24Professor Madley?
00:06:25Oh, he won't be here till tomorrow.
00:06:28Maybe Mr. Ellis could help you.
00:06:32Ellis?
00:06:33The professor's assistant.
00:06:34He registered this morning.
00:06:36Oh, Ellis.
00:06:37Oh, yes.
00:06:38What's his room number?
00:06:43It's 216, but he's not in just now.
00:06:46Of course, he's getting tuned.
00:06:49Tuned?
00:06:50To the other world.
00:06:51He always does that before the professor comes in.
00:06:53Is that so?
00:06:54Oh, sure.
00:06:55Well, I'll wait for Ellis up in his room.
00:06:57But that's against the rules.
00:06:58Don't worry, it's all right.
00:07:24Oh.
00:07:26Mr. Ellis, I presume?
00:07:28Yes.
00:07:31My name is Stanton.
00:07:34Eric Stanton.
00:07:35Never heard of you.
00:07:37Professor Madley's an old friend of mine.
00:07:39When was that?
00:07:40Good old days.
00:07:41How old?
00:07:42Old enough to be good.
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:45Drink?
00:07:46My favorite brand.
00:07:48Ought to be.
00:07:49I got it out of your bureau drawer.
00:07:51Huh.
00:07:52Helped yourself to everything in here,
00:07:53as long as you're a friend of the professor's.
00:07:56From my cradle days.
00:07:57Then you'll do the professor a favor.
00:07:59Lend Leeson $30.
00:08:01$30?
00:08:02Do him half a favor, $15.
00:08:05What's so funny?
00:08:06Tell me, I'd like to laugh too.
00:08:08I came up to put the bite on you.
00:08:11Now let's hear how you laugh.
00:08:13You can't sleep here.
00:08:14Oh, wait a minute.
00:08:15Consult the spirit of my friend the professor.
00:08:17What's he say?
00:08:18I know what the manager says.
00:08:19One more guest, one more dollar.
00:08:21I haven't got enough to pay my own bill.
00:08:23Then the extra dollar wouldn't matter.
00:08:25Don't take your shoes off.
00:08:26I'm enough to aggravate me.
00:08:29Don't worry.
00:08:31I'll get you out of it.
00:08:32What with?
00:08:33You're broke.
00:08:34I've got to have $15 by noon tomorrow.
00:08:37Or lose a haul downstairs in my deposit.
00:08:39Besides being kicked out of here and my luggage held.
00:08:41What about the professor's spooks?
00:08:43What they generally do?
00:08:45Sure, when there's nobody to stop them.
00:08:47But there's a certain woman in this town
00:08:48who doesn't believe in spooks.
00:08:50What she says goes for the rest of the women.
00:08:52She's not only the daughter of the former mayor
00:08:54who donated a new organ to the church,
00:08:56but the president of the lady's auxiliary.
00:08:58Gain such a combination,
00:09:00not even I could sell one ticket.
00:09:02Go charm her.
00:09:04Miss Mills will have no truck with me,
00:09:06not even on the phone.
00:09:08Well, let's sleep on it.
00:09:10I'm going to sleep on it.
00:09:12Not even on the phone.
00:09:14Well, let's sleep on it.
00:09:15I said no.
00:09:17We're in this thing together.
00:09:18Naturally, I'll sleep here.
00:09:20Stands to reason.
00:09:21What stands to reason?
00:09:23You're in trouble, man.
00:09:25I've got to pull you out of it.
00:09:27You got any toothpaste?
00:09:28In the bathroom.
00:09:31Hope you like my brand.
00:09:43Good morning.
00:09:48Hey, mistress, please.
00:09:49Who?
00:09:50Miss Clara Mills.
00:09:52I'm Clara Mills, and we're not buying anything either.
00:09:55Miss Mills, I'm here to speak on behalf of the dead.
00:09:57Who?
00:09:58Walton's respected deceased.
00:10:00They're having a rendezvous tonight
00:10:01at the Walton Hotel at 8 o'clock.
00:10:03There's nothing to discuss.
00:10:04I told you that over the phone.
00:10:05Now, please don't call again, Mr. Ellis.
00:10:07Well, I'm not Mr. Ellis,
00:10:08and I'm not a part of the spook act down at the hotel.
00:10:10I'm Eric Stanton.
00:10:11Now, would you listen to me for a minute?
00:10:13Well, out with it.
00:10:14I'm busy.
00:10:15So is Professor Madley.
00:10:16Appointments with the dead from coast to coast.
00:10:18Yet this soul of generosity finds time
00:10:20to drop in on Walton to deliver a message of hope.
00:10:23For money.
00:10:24He's a charlatan, a fraud.
00:10:26Not the Professor Madley.
00:10:27Pretending to commune with the dead.
00:10:29Now, look.
00:10:31He and Ellis are just a couple of struggling artists
00:10:33trying to make a living like fortune tellers
00:10:35or a vaudeville team.
00:10:37I won't let the poor, gullible people of Walton
00:10:39be fooled.
00:10:40If my father were alive,
00:10:41these fakers would never have gotten a license.
00:10:43Your father?
00:10:44Yes.
00:10:45Abraham Mills was a real mayor.
00:10:46He wouldn't have stood by
00:10:47and let frauds take advantage of honest people.
00:10:49Now, wait a minute.
00:10:50What if Mayor Mills would like to make another speech
00:10:52or tell you something?
00:10:53Suppose he's defending on behalf...
00:10:54Suppose you leave right now.
00:10:56Suppose I do.
00:11:00Now, don't forget.
00:11:02The curtain goes up tonight at 8 o'clock.
00:11:10Birds of a feather.
00:11:12They won't hatch anything here.
00:11:15Trading on people's sacred feelings.
00:11:21Everything that's dear held up to ridicule
00:11:23by frauds in a trance,
00:11:25rapping on a table.
00:11:27We won't have any of the cheap, vulgar tricks
00:11:29of spiritualism here.
00:11:33You think I'm wrong?
00:11:35I think he's right.
00:11:37But how can he be?
00:11:39June, don't be taken in by his glib manner.
00:11:41He meant it.
00:11:42Just two people trying to make a living.
00:11:44Why can't they make an honest living?
00:11:46Are we to judge?
00:11:49Well, it's too late now.
00:11:51There's nothing we can do about it.
00:11:53Yes, there is.
00:11:54Well, if we can buy two tickets,
00:11:56if we go, everybody else will.
00:11:58Shall I call the hotel?
00:12:01I'll think about it.
00:12:03I'll think about it.
00:12:06We thank thee, O Lord, for our daily bread
00:12:08and for our many blessings.
00:12:10Amen.
00:12:25Donut?
00:12:28No, thanks.
00:12:31Like to make a few extra dollars?
00:12:33How?
00:12:34Push these tickets with your customers.
00:12:36Give you 20% of all your sales.
00:12:38Sure. What are they for?
00:12:40That spook meeting tonight,
00:12:42featuring the one and only Professor Madley.
00:12:44No.
00:12:45Why not?
00:12:46If the ladies in auxiliary don't want him,
00:12:48I don't want him.
00:12:49Don't worry about the women.
00:12:50They wouldn't miss hearing Abraham Mills.
00:12:52Mills?
00:12:53The professor's bringing him back with a message.
00:12:55I don't believe in it.
00:12:57What's the difference?
00:12:58You can still make yourself some money.
00:13:00No, I don't want to get mixed up in anything.
00:13:04Pop.
00:13:05Coffee, please.
00:13:06Right away.
00:13:11Here he is, Professor.
00:13:12Your old friend, Eric Stanton.
00:13:15Old friend?
00:13:16Don't recall.
00:13:17Oh, Buffaloes. Connected.
00:13:19Sorry, I still can't remember.
00:13:20You see...
00:13:21Relax, Professor.
00:13:22We've never met before.
00:13:24Last night in my room, you said.
00:13:26And you never met...
00:13:27Glad to meet you now, Professor.
00:13:29Delighted, Mr. Stanton.
00:13:30Well, all the signs point to a prosperous association.
00:13:33Dollar signs.
00:13:34I've sold a batch of tickets already.
00:13:36Couple of beers, please.
00:13:37Okay, coming up.
00:13:39I heard from my assistant here that you really work wonders.
00:13:41Congratulations on your success, my boy.
00:13:43We'll have sell-out after sell-out.
00:13:46Oh, okay.
00:13:48You know, I never believed that you could talk Miss Mills into buying tickets.
00:13:51I just had a call from her sister to reserve a couple.
00:13:54They're coming over to get a message from their old man.
00:13:57Right, Professor?
00:13:58Ah, yes. I had a visitation from him on U.S. Route 101.
00:14:01He definitely arrives tonight.
00:14:03What do you say, Pop? Now do you believe it?
00:14:06He definitely arrives tonight, sir.
00:14:10He better arrive tonight. He's your main attraction.
00:14:13Dig up the vital facts, Ellis.
00:14:15Who is Mills and what does he want to come back for?
00:14:18Okay. See you later.
00:14:19Wait a minute. Leave me one of these.
00:14:21Oh, Pop.
00:14:22Let me hang this up in here,
00:14:24and I'll give you a couple of tickets to the best show in town.
00:14:27All right, go ahead.
00:14:29There you are.
00:14:30Eric, my boy, you got a great calling.
00:14:32Spook promotion.
00:14:33You like to back that up with a fin?
00:14:35Well, gladly.
00:14:37Hope to see you in my room later.
00:14:39I have a fine collection of friendly spirits there.
00:14:41Scotch ancestry.
00:14:53There you are, Stella.
00:14:57Thank you.
00:15:03Have you any idea what the deceased Mr. Mills is going to say at the séance tonight?
00:15:08Why?
00:15:10They've brought a great deal of them around here.
00:15:13You want to be careful.
00:15:15Thanks.
00:15:17You want to be careful.
00:15:19Thanks.
00:15:46Open my eyes
00:15:50Haze here with me
00:15:55Slowly my lips realize
00:16:01They had just been kissed
00:16:07Slowly...
00:16:09A beer, please.
00:16:10A beer in my eyes
00:16:14Relieve me slowly
00:16:18That the only record in that box?
00:16:20I like it.
00:16:22He knows what you like.
00:16:25That's for his wife to worry about.
00:16:29What does he do?
00:16:31He's from New York.
00:16:33Oh, yeah.
00:16:35He came out here to stay to get his health back.
00:16:38How'd he lose it?
00:16:40Working too hard, I guess.
00:16:43He used to be a big man back there.
00:16:46On the police force.
00:16:48You like to come to the show?
00:16:52You asking me?
00:16:59Here.
00:17:03Never mind.
00:17:05What's the matter?
00:17:06I don't go places alone.
00:17:10Okay.
00:17:13Here.
00:17:14Is that four beers?
00:17:16Three beers and a cup of coffee.
00:17:36You've just heard the spirits of citizens of Walton who have gone on before us.
00:17:40You've returned tonight through me.
00:17:42Returned to tell you how happy they are in their eternal reward.
00:17:46And now, my good friends of Walton,
00:17:48we have come to our last and most difficult experiment
00:17:51for which I must have your undivided attention
00:17:53and your sincere concentration.
00:17:56I feel a strange tension in my heart.
00:17:59I feel a strange tension in my heart.
00:18:02I feel a strange tension in my heart.
00:18:05I feel a strange vibration coming over me.
00:18:08The vibration of a spirit who has remained troubled,
00:18:11who has found no peace or contentment since he departed.
00:18:15Abraham Mills.
00:18:18I can feel his troubled spirit trying to get through from beyond.
00:18:24Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:28I can hear you.
00:18:30Yes, Abraham Mills.
00:18:35Do you like it?
00:18:37Yes, very much.
00:18:39You're troubled because your daughter, Clara,
00:18:42has lost practically everything you left her.
00:18:45The barns.
00:18:47The orange groves.
00:18:49You can't understand how she could have trusted that man.
00:18:52That man...
00:18:54John Martin.
00:18:57John Martin.
00:18:59Who came here after you passed down
00:19:01and talked her into selling everything.
00:19:04Why didn't she ask the police for help
00:19:07when he ran away with the money?
00:19:09Come, Clara.
00:19:11You will find peace only when you know
00:19:13that Clara will guard the last of the inheritance
00:19:16for herself and her younger sister.
00:19:18$25,000 in stocks.
00:19:20I'm sorry.
00:19:22I shouldn't have made you come.
00:19:35That was so mysterious.
00:19:37How did he know everything?
00:19:40Can I ask you a favor?
00:19:42Sure, what?
00:19:44You know the professor, don't you?
00:19:46I'd love to give you my fortune.
00:19:48Do you think he'd do it if you asked him?
00:19:50I can tell it better myself.
00:19:52Where are we going?
00:19:54The horoscopes are up there.
00:19:56I'd like a drink.
00:19:58Okay, you're on. Where do we go?
00:20:00I know the place.
00:20:05I like the way you talk.
00:20:08I like the way you dance.
00:20:20Yes, sir. Two burgers.
00:20:22Who ordered them?
00:20:24I did.
00:20:26I'm sorry, sir.
00:20:28I'm sorry.
00:20:30I'm sorry.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:34Do you want them?
00:20:36Okay.
00:20:39Thanks.
00:20:41You said you'd tell my fortune.
00:20:43Well,
00:20:45you don't belong in a one-armed joint.
00:20:47No?
00:20:49A girl like you, you've got style, beautiful style.
00:20:51You inherited that.
00:20:53Your father was a leading citizen, rich.
00:20:57He trusted people too much.
00:20:59And?
00:21:01Your mother,
00:21:02well, her line seems to have run out.
00:21:04Don't scare me.
00:21:06She runs a boarding house in San Diego,
00:21:08and my old man came from a long line of drunks.
00:21:12Anyway, there's a man in your life.
00:21:14You just met him.
00:21:16Tomorrow he's going to San Francisco,
00:21:18and you're going to lie awake at night,
00:21:20unable to forget.
00:21:23And what can I do about it?
00:21:32I'm sorry.
00:21:34I'm sorry.
00:21:36I'm sorry.
00:21:38I'm sorry.

00:22:46I'm sorry.
00:22:48I'm sorry.
00:22:50I'm sorry.
00:22:52I'm sorry.
00:22:54I'm sorry.
00:22:56I'm sorry.
00:22:58I'm sorry.
00:23:00I'm sorry.
00:23:02I'm sorry.
00:23:04I'm sorry.
00:23:12No, that's okay for kids.
00:23:14But not for me.
00:23:16Not anymore.
00:23:19Where are you from?
00:23:21Why did I get the number?
00:23:23Okay.
00:23:24Don't tell me.
00:23:26I'm from New York.
00:23:28Now you know.
00:23:30What do you do
00:23:31I helped make them for others.
00:23:33I passed actresses, directors, producers
00:23:36through a publicity mill I ran.
00:23:37They came out famous.
00:23:39Their names in all the papers.
00:23:41You know people like that?
00:23:42I know all people in all places.
00:23:45Like 21, the Stork Club.
00:23:47That's where you belong, smothered in mink.
00:23:50I can see you there.
00:23:51And do you see me with a ring on my finger?
00:23:53Somebody to give me a home?
00:23:55Sure.
00:23:56Sure.
00:23:57Now look.
00:24:00Last night I made up my mind.
00:24:02That's the way I want it.
00:24:04He didn't see it that way, so I walked home.
00:24:07At night.
00:24:08Miles before I got a ride.
00:24:12Was plenty tired when I got in, too.
00:24:14You saw me.
00:24:15But when I make up my mind...
00:24:17Forget about last night.
00:24:23You talk different, sure.
00:24:25But you drive just like the rest.
00:24:28Well, you got the wrong girl.
00:24:32Yeah?
00:24:34No.
00:24:35No!
00:24:37Tomorrow you're going.
00:24:39Where does that leave me?
00:24:40You'll go with me.
00:24:42What on?
00:24:43You got into town with one dollar in your pocket.
00:24:45You're a fake!
00:24:47Well, you little jip.
00:24:49Stealing a buck out of the cash register and calling...
00:24:53Go on.
00:24:54Go on back to your one-armed joint
00:24:55and wait for somebody to come and marry you.
00:25:22Coming, Eric?
00:25:24Yeah, coming.
00:25:26Professor's waiting.
00:25:27Never felt so good getting out of town.
00:25:30Even with the bills all paid.
00:25:32Don't smile.
00:25:33Your face looks better without it.
00:25:36See you downstairs.
00:25:37Okay.
00:25:40Ah, top of the morning for boy Huggins.
00:25:43Good morning.
00:25:44Get in.
00:25:45I'm not going.
00:25:46Not going?
00:25:47What's wrong?
00:25:48Nothing.
00:25:49You go ahead.
00:25:50I'll meet you.
00:25:51Eric, we need you for the advance publicity.
00:25:53San Francisco's a tough town on spooks.
00:25:55Come on.
00:25:56Hit them like the earthquake.
00:25:57When I feel like it.
00:25:58I made it clear to you when I took this job,
00:26:00you can't tie me down.
00:26:01Camp's my style.
00:26:03I always work best when a certain feeling comes over me.
00:26:05And right now, I haven't got it.
00:26:06A genius.
00:26:07Eric, my boy, you're an artist.
00:26:09You have my sympathy.
00:26:10And a bus ticket on the firm.
00:26:11Never mind that.
00:26:12Well, you'll always find your favorite brand
00:26:14in my bureau drawer.
00:26:53It's about time you showed up.
00:26:55Hey, one can't work here.
00:26:57We need to be around here till the sun goes down.
00:27:03You don't know who I am?
00:27:05You don't know who I am?
00:27:07You don't know me?
00:27:09You don't know who I am, either?
00:27:11You don't know who I am?
00:27:13No, I don't know.
00:27:15But I do.
00:27:17I've got some ideas.
00:27:18Come on in.
00:27:19Don't pause me.
00:27:20You can go.
00:27:22Eric, I've got another idea.
00:27:23My bus leaves in 15 minutes.
00:27:36Got a nickel?
00:27:52I just came back to say I'm sorry about last night.
00:27:57Save it.
00:28:08Nothing else you want to say?
00:28:10No.
00:28:15Don't give me that act.
00:28:16What act?
00:28:18You know what I mean.
00:28:23Hello?
00:28:25So long, for good.
00:28:32What bit him?
00:28:34Trying to make his bus, I guess.
00:28:53Well, in or out.
00:28:55Skip it.
00:29:12This finishes it.
00:29:13You'll never see me again.
00:29:15Goodbye.
00:29:17Goodbye.
00:29:26Always leave him laughing.
00:29:28You again.
00:29:30What do you want?
00:29:32I want to talk to you.
00:29:35Okay, talk.
00:29:42Don't give me that smile.
00:29:44Okay, I don't smile.
00:29:48I thought you had something to say.
00:29:51Doesn't that say it?
00:29:53I heard that kind of talk before.
00:29:55Good night.
00:29:58I never said it before.
00:30:00To anybody.
00:30:01Ever.
00:30:03I'll marry you, Stella, if that's what you want.
00:30:06You?
00:30:07You don't kid me.
00:30:08I'm not kidding.
00:30:10Last night...
00:30:11Last night, I didn't know you.
00:30:13What made you tick?
00:30:15I know you now.
00:30:17I know why I couldn't pull out of here this morning.
00:30:19Or get on that bus.
00:30:22I can't get away without you, Stella.
00:30:24And I'm not going away without you.
00:30:26What's in it for me?
00:30:27You said you wanted that, didn't you?
00:30:29A ring on your finger.
00:30:30That isn't enough.
00:30:31What goes with it?
00:30:32I want a home.
00:30:33I'll get it for you.
00:30:35What with?
00:30:36One dollar in your pocket?
00:30:38Twelve and a half thousand dollars.
00:30:41Where would you get twelve and a half thousand dollars?
00:30:46What's the difference?
00:30:47As long as I get it.
00:30:48How?
00:30:49Are you going to murder somebody?
00:30:50Talk sense.
00:30:51Are you going to steal it?
00:30:52Listen.
00:30:53Well, I don't know you.
00:30:54You know one thing.
00:30:55We're going to get married.
00:30:57Once I get the cash.
00:31:01Maybe you'll get me in trouble.
00:31:03I don't want to get in trouble.
00:31:05You won't.
00:31:06I'll get it.
00:31:08I'm not even telling you how.
00:31:10You'll just sit tight and wait for me.
00:31:12That's the deal.
00:31:15You'll keep it.
00:31:18Maybe I will.
00:31:36I'll get it.
00:31:37I'll get it.
00:31:38I'll get it.
00:31:39I'll get it.

00:33:39I'll get it.
00:33:40I'll get it.
00:33:41I'll get it.
00:33:42I'll get it.

00:33:55I'll get it.
00:33:56I'll get it.
00:33:57I'll get it.
00:33:58I'll get it.
00:33:59I'll get it.
00:34:00I'll get it.
00:34:01He didn't say that.
00:34:02But I'll tell you later.
00:34:03I'll tell you later.
00:34:04I'll tell you alternatively.
00:34:05I'll still tell you at the hotel.
00:34:06You still think I tried to hurt your sister?
00:34:07I didn't mean to, really.
00:34:08I only meant to help the professor.
00:34:09But that's happened to me before.
00:34:10I try to help somebody, somebody else gets hurt.
00:34:12That's the way it's been all my life.
00:34:14Of course.
00:34:15You live by impulse.
00:34:17And you never bother to think if you're following the right impulse or the wrong one.
00:34:21I see you don't stop at music.
00:34:23You read, too.
00:34:24Don't you?
00:34:26Me?
00:34:27I haven't opened a book since I left school.
00:34:28They're phony.
00:34:29So are some people.
00:34:30At least they're alive.
00:34:32So are books.
00:34:34Yeah, you come to a part you don't like,
00:34:35you can turn the page, but try it on people.
00:34:37Or try it on life.
00:34:39I'll tell you something about yourself, Miss Mills.
00:34:42You're scared to live.
00:34:44That's why you bury yourself in books and music.
00:34:47I think you ought to respect my ways as I respect yours.
00:34:50Only I live and you don't.
00:34:52All the things you look down on
00:34:53are the things that make up life.
00:34:55What things?
00:34:56Little things, like a game of bowling,
00:34:58or a swim at night, or...
00:35:00Or a dance, a kiss, stuff that bubbles.
00:35:05I bet you never had a drink.
00:35:07That doesn't mean anything.
00:35:08Not by itself it doesn't.
00:35:10But you add up all the little things,
00:35:11that's what makes up life.
00:35:14Maybe you're the one that's scared, not I.
00:35:16How come?
00:35:18Well, you don't know what you want,
00:35:19that's why you're scared.
00:35:20That's why you keep running after every little thing.
00:35:23You know, that's quite a mind you have there, Miss Mills.
00:35:26You mean to say that I'm not?
00:35:28No.
00:35:29You mean for a girl in a small town?
00:35:32Must be the books, huh?
00:35:34Must be.
00:35:36You know, if you didn't know me so well,
00:35:37I might ask you something.
00:35:38You'd probably say no, though.
00:35:40Probably.
00:35:41So there's really no use in asking, is there?
00:35:44Well, why don't you ask me anyway?
00:35:46Will you have dinner with me tonight?
00:35:49Well, I don't think I can.
00:35:51You see?
00:35:52You're afraid to step out of your tower.
00:35:55No, no, no, that isn't it.
00:35:57You don't have a sister?
00:35:58Of course not.
00:35:59Then what are you afraid of?
00:36:01I'm not afraid.
00:36:02Why should I be?
00:36:03Yeah, why should you be?
00:36:04I'll pick you up at 7.
00:36:06At 7?
00:36:23Don't you ever see anything through to the end?
00:36:25When it's worth it.
00:36:27Now we've had a dinner that you didn't like,
00:36:29and so a movie you didn't like.
00:36:30What's next?
00:36:32Dancing.
00:36:33All right.
00:36:34Let's not miss any of the little things
00:36:36that make up your happy life.
00:36:40Well, here's to your first scotch.
00:36:49How do you like it?
00:36:51Tastes like soap.
00:36:54If this is what all your little things add up to,
00:36:57I don't think it's very much.
00:36:59Did you learn how to play Beethoven in one night?
00:37:01No.
00:37:02Then don't expect to learn how to play at this in one night.
00:37:04But I don't think you enjoy it either.
00:37:06Because you don't.
00:37:07But I want to.
00:37:08That's why I came.
00:37:11Frankly, why did you ask me?
00:37:13No special reason.
00:37:14You happen to interest me.
00:37:17In what way?
00:37:18I can't define it.
00:37:20Maybe it's your charm.
00:37:22Maybe it's your talent.
00:37:24Ever think of a career?
00:37:26Maybe.
00:37:27And?
00:37:28No.
00:37:29No, I know my limitations.
00:37:31One shouldn't set a limit on what one can do.
00:37:34Mr. Stanton, that sounds as if it came out of a book.
00:37:38And not a very good one.
00:37:40There goes that mind again.
00:37:42Shall we turn the page and dance?
00:37:44Oh, it's been an awfully long time.
00:37:46I'll lead you.
00:37:52You're doing fine.
00:37:54Thank you.
00:38:09Hey, ditch him and I'll meet you afterward.
00:38:12I don't cheat on a date.
00:38:22There's still one more, little thing.
00:38:25But don't worry.
00:38:26I'm not going to kiss you goodnight
00:38:28and make you unhappy.
00:38:30Unhappy?
00:38:31Don't you take too much for granted?
00:38:33No.
00:38:34One kiss goes a long way with you.
00:38:36You need a guy who'll take it the same way you do.
00:38:39I don't care.
00:38:40I don't care.
00:38:41I don't care.
00:38:42I don't care.
00:38:43I don't care.
00:38:44I don't care.
00:38:45I don't care.
00:38:46I don't care.
00:38:47I don't care.
00:38:48I don't care.
00:38:49I don't care.
00:38:50I don't care.
00:38:52He'll take it the same way.
00:38:53He'll give you a marriage with all the trimmings,
00:38:55home and kids.
00:38:56He'll walk to church with you every Sunday,
00:38:58listen to your play,
00:39:00save all your good nights for him.
00:39:02What makes you think I wanted you to kiss me?
00:39:04Didn't you?
00:39:21She ought to have helped this morning, huh?
00:39:23Kind of.
00:39:24She always come in this late?
00:39:26Sometimes.
00:39:27Why, you wouldn't know.
00:39:30I just thought maybe she'd skipped out on you again.
00:39:33No.
00:39:34She won't do it.
00:39:35She promised me she won't.
00:39:37Stella.
00:39:38Morning, Stella.
00:39:42Good morning.
00:39:48Oh, I sure could use some coffee.
00:39:52I got something special for you.
00:40:02I waited for you last night until after three.
00:40:06That's nice.
00:40:08Where were you?
00:40:10Around.
00:40:12With that guy?
00:40:14Oh, leave me alone.
00:40:16Oh, leave me alone, will you?
00:40:17It's too early.
00:40:18Here you are.
00:40:20Thanks.
00:40:21What'd you get to watch?
00:40:23Like it?
00:40:26Get me some hash.
00:40:27Good and brown.
00:40:30I said some hash.
00:40:35You get this last night?
00:40:39Wait till we're married and then ask me.
00:40:42Till then, I don't have to tell you a thing.
00:40:44We're as good as married.
00:40:48You're dropping out of circulation from now on.
00:40:52When you go out, it'll only be with me.
00:40:54You've got a steady date with Miss Mills.
00:40:57I'm only doing that for you.
00:41:00A lot of good I'm getting out of it.
00:41:02You will in a couple of days.
00:41:04Okay, a couple of days, but that don't mean forever.
00:41:11Morning, Mr. Judd.
00:41:17Good morning, Stella.
00:41:30Hello.
00:41:33With my compliments.
00:41:35Thank you.
00:41:36Thank you.
00:41:37I'm leaving tomorrow and I wanted to say goodbye.
00:41:40Goodbye, Mr. Stanton.
00:41:43We were just going to pick up a few things.
00:41:45Can we take you anywhere?
00:41:46Anywhere you say.
00:41:51Can three of us get in there?
00:41:52I think so.
00:41:53You go ahead.
00:41:54Thank you.
00:42:04Nice town.
00:42:06Hate to leave it.
00:42:08Expect to go far?
00:42:09Maybe.
00:42:10Maybe I'll be back.
00:42:13And maybe I won't.
00:42:15It depends.
00:42:17On what?
00:42:19On what there is to come back to.
00:42:22I'll be just a minute.
00:42:26What would you come back for, Mr. Stanton?
00:42:29June.
00:42:30I gathered as much.
00:42:31Let's be frank, shall we?
00:42:33My cards are on the table, Miss Mills.
00:42:35I want you to leave June alone.
00:42:38We don't know who you are or where you come from.
00:42:40What do you do?
00:42:41Nothing.
00:42:43That's frank at least.
00:42:45And I'm sure you'll be interested to know I have no bank account either.
00:42:48I thought so.
00:42:50Your hand is showing, Miss Mills.
00:42:52You've got a trump card, money.
00:42:54And because I haven't...
00:42:55That isn't true.
00:42:56It has nothing to do with money.
00:42:58June has quite enough for herself even without my share.
00:43:01Your share?
00:43:02Yes, she'll get that too.
00:43:04I want her to be happy.
00:43:05That's all I care about.
00:43:07It's all hers, whatever I have.
00:43:10In San Francisco, Mr. Stanton, where no one can touch it.
00:43:15Not until she meets the right man.
00:43:17Well, maybe I'm not the right man after all.
00:43:21And you won't see her again?
00:43:23Suppose we leave that up to the one concerned.
00:43:37There you are.
00:43:38Thank you.
00:43:43Wonderful.
00:43:44Just wonderful.
00:43:46If I've accomplished nothing else, at least I've made you like one of the little things I like.
00:43:51I have my little secrets too.
00:43:54Bet you think all I do is read big heavy books, don't you?
00:43:58Well, I don't.
00:44:00I'm a man of my word.
00:44:02All I do is read big heavy books, don't you?
00:44:05Well, I don't.
00:44:07For years I've been saving ads out of magazines.
00:44:10Sometimes I...
00:44:12I feel like I'm the girl in the ads.
00:44:15Softly alluring.
00:44:16Full of grace.
00:44:18Gown by Schiaparelli.
00:44:20If I had money, I'd dress you like the ads.
00:44:22Take you to New York.
00:44:23At least to San Francisco.
00:44:25You'd have that Schiaparelli gown.
00:44:28That isn't that important.
00:44:29It would be when I took you to the nightclubs, the theater, the concerts.
00:44:33Did you ever hear the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra?
00:44:36On the radio.
00:44:37Oh, what do you hear on the radio?
00:44:39A lot of noise.
00:44:40But when you see them up on the stage,
00:44:42all dressed up with their fiddles and their horns,
00:44:45people right up to the roof, 10,000 of them waiting for the music to begin.
00:44:48That's a concert.
00:44:49Particularly when Toscanini conducts like he's going to tomorrow afternoon.
00:44:53Toscanini?
00:44:55Yeah.
00:44:56And you know what?
00:44:58After the concert, I'll get him to listen to you play.
00:45:00See who's right about your talent, you and me.
00:45:02You know Arturo Toscanini?
00:45:04I'll make it my business to meet him, for you.
00:45:06We can leave for San Francisco in the morning, make it in plenty of time.
00:45:09All right?
00:45:10Yeah.
00:45:12Your sister?
00:45:14Yes.
00:45:16You gonna do everything she says?
00:45:19No, but I...
00:45:20Well, I guess after tonight, it's goodbye.
00:45:24I guess it is.
00:45:26Anyway, there are a few things to remember.
00:45:29Mm-hmm.
00:45:32It could have been wonderful.
00:45:36Mm-hmm.
00:45:38If I were another guy, the right guy,
00:45:42it could have gone on like this, night after night.
00:45:44Just the two of us.
00:45:46The fire, hot dogs, wine, martinis.
00:45:51Wonderful martinis.
00:45:53Could have been a dream.
00:45:56Beautiful dream.
00:45:57You and I together.
00:45:59New York and San Francisco.
00:46:01Mm-hmm.
00:46:02Getting you all those things in the ads.
00:46:05Going everywhere together.
00:46:07To the concerts, to hear the famous people play.
00:46:10Becoming famous yourself.
00:46:13Great career.
00:46:15Miss June Mills, the finest talent of them all.
00:46:18Woman of the year.
00:46:23Thank you.
00:46:53Thank you.
00:47:20Who is it?
00:47:21Eric, I've got to see you right away.
00:47:23It's been way till tomorrow.
00:47:24It's important.
00:47:26Okay, I'm listening.
00:47:28I can't talk to you like this.
00:47:30I can hear you.
00:47:32Come on, open up that door.
00:47:33What are you afraid of?
00:47:34Oh, pipe down, will you?
00:47:37Quiet.
00:47:38Do you want to wake everybody up?
00:47:39What do you want?
00:47:40I came to tell you I can't go through with it.
00:47:43Like I planned.
00:47:44It'll take too long.
00:47:46I knew it.
00:47:47You didn't stand a chance.
00:47:48That isn't it.
00:47:50Look, you know how I feel about you.
00:47:52You've got to believe in me, have confidence in me.
00:47:55I want you, Stella.
00:47:56I'm nuts about you.
00:47:58That wasn't the deal.
00:47:59What of it?
00:48:00I'll get you that home and everything you wanted with it.
00:48:03I can do it.
00:48:04I've got ideas that work.
00:48:05Pay off big.
00:48:07Come on, let's get out of here.
00:48:08Tonight.
00:48:09I'm taking no chances.
00:48:11I'm listening, Stella.
00:48:12I stick to a deal.
00:48:17Satisfied there's nobody here?
00:48:22Now beat it.
00:48:46Eric?
00:48:47Yeah.
00:48:49So glad.
00:48:50I was afraid you might have already left.
00:48:51Who is this?
00:48:52June.
00:48:54Eric, I'm going with you.
00:48:57To San Francisco?
00:48:59To the concert on the nine o'clock train.
00:49:01We'll pick you up on the way to the station.
00:49:03Wait.
00:49:04Yes, Clara's going along too.
00:49:06She had to go to San Francisco anyway to take care of some business,
00:49:09so she thought she might as well do it a week ahead of time.
00:49:12Have to have her along.
00:49:14Thank you, Eric.
00:49:15We'll be right over.
00:49:22Oh.
00:49:43Want to wait here?
00:49:44No, I'll go in with you.
00:49:45Do you mind?
00:49:46Not at all.
00:49:51Thank you.
00:49:58Mills, number 17.
00:50:00Yes, Miss Mills.
00:50:01Clara and June Mills.
00:50:02Joint ownership.
00:50:04Either one of you sign here.
00:50:06What's the rent on the box?
00:50:07Four dollars and up.
00:50:08It's not available now.
00:50:10We might have some vacancies next month.
00:50:12But I need one now.
00:50:14You can put whatever you want in our box.
00:50:16No, thanks.
00:50:17I might need it when you're home.
00:50:18Come on, June.
00:50:22Come on.
00:50:30Have you a telephone directory?
00:50:33Yes, right around the corner.
00:50:35This way?
00:50:36Yes.
00:50:37Thanks.
00:50:52Thank you.
00:51:13The gentleman went to the phone room.
00:51:14Thank you.
00:51:18That was great black and found him in.
00:51:19Who?
00:51:20Somebody very important.
00:51:21Might have a great effect on your career.
00:51:23Who is he?
00:51:24Wait till you meet him.
00:51:25I told him we'd be over right away.
00:51:28Go ahead.
00:51:29I want to make a call from here.
00:51:31I'll meet you after the concert.
00:51:32No, we wouldn't think of it.
00:51:33Eric asked you to go with us.
00:51:35Thanks.
00:51:36Sure you're going.
00:51:37Meet us at 230 Sharp in front of the auditorium.
00:51:40230.
00:51:41Good luck.
00:51:43Thanks.
00:51:44We'll need it.
00:51:49Thank you.
00:52:10There is no concert.
00:52:11I suppose you know that.
00:52:12He knew it all along.
00:52:14Getting us all the way up here to San Francisco
00:52:15pretending...
00:52:16He had to.
00:52:17Why?
00:52:18To get June out of Walton.
00:52:19Long as he was there, we didn't have a chance.
00:52:21What chance?
00:52:22Get married.
00:52:23Married?
00:52:24Sure.
00:52:25Here's the evidence.
00:52:27Certificate of marriage.
00:52:30June.
00:52:33You don't know what you've done.
00:52:35I do.
00:52:37I'll have the whole thing annulled.
00:52:39No, you won't, Clara.
00:52:40I know what I want.
00:52:41This isn't as sudden as you think.
00:52:46Well, what's the verdict?
00:52:49I hope you'll be very happy.
00:52:51Thank you, Clara.
00:52:52I suppose the next thing to say is,
00:52:53shall we be friends?
00:52:57We could be.
00:52:58If you'd make June happy.
00:53:00Sure, I will.
00:53:01Right from the start.
00:53:03What are your plans?
00:53:05Well, I'd like to go home first
00:53:07and get a few things together.
00:53:09Then we'll go someplace for a little while.
00:53:11All right, Eric?
00:53:12Okay, back to Walton.
00:53:13But first, I'd like to try another bank.
00:53:16I want to put this in a safe depository.
00:53:18I don't want to take any chances carrying it around.
00:53:20I'd be too glad it was two, you know.
00:53:22Why don't you put it in our box?
00:53:23It wouldn't pass me. It's in your name.
00:53:25I'll put it away for you.
00:53:34I always thought of it that way, didn't I, June?
00:53:36Yes, dear.
00:53:38I said to myself, when June gets married,
00:53:40this will be her home.
00:53:42I'll give it to her and her husband
00:53:43to do with as they please.
00:53:46If I'm to stay on it,
00:53:47it'll be as a guest.
00:53:50A guest in June's home.
00:53:53Assuming, of course, that I'm wanted.
00:53:55Of course we want you with us.
00:53:57Absolutely. Here, have some more.
00:53:59No.
00:54:01It's time for a guest to say goodnight.
00:54:04Goodnight.
00:54:10Goodnight, Clara.
00:54:17Goodnight.
00:54:47I'll be up in a minute.
00:55:17Goodnight.
00:55:47Goodnight.
00:56:18Won't you even have a drink with me?
00:56:20I got a date.
00:56:23Can I walk you home?
00:56:25I said I got a date.
00:56:28Goodnight, Stella.
00:56:30Don't forget to lock the door.
00:56:40Stella?
00:56:41Yeah?
00:56:43You're going to San Francisco tomorrow.
00:56:45Am I?
00:56:47Tomorrow I'll have that money.
00:56:49All of it.
00:56:50You meet me up there and then we'll...
00:56:51How do I know you'll have it?
00:56:53Because I'm going to San Francisco with her to get it.
00:56:56Well, I won't.
00:56:58And she won't either.
00:56:59Oh, yes, she will.
00:57:01It's her honeymoon.
00:57:04Her what?
00:57:06Yeah.
00:57:07I married her.
00:57:08This afternoon.
00:57:10It was the only way.
00:57:12Congratulations.
00:57:13Now, listen.
00:57:15We're really not married.
00:57:17I mean, we'll be divorced in no time.
00:57:19I haven't even kissed her.
00:57:20As a matter of fact, I can have it in no.
00:57:22Goodnight.
00:57:24Now, wait a minute.
00:57:26What do you want?
00:57:27She's your wife, not me.
00:57:29I don't run around with married men.
00:57:31I did it for you.
00:57:32To get you what you wanted.
00:57:34Now you'll keep your part of the deal.
00:57:36Oh, sure.
00:57:37But she's got the ring on her finger.
00:57:39She's not so dumb.
00:57:40Well, I'm not a dope either.
00:58:11Good morning.
00:58:22Sugar? Cream?
00:58:23No.
00:58:32Go ahead, say it.
00:58:34I have nothing to say, Eric.
00:58:36I'm waiting for you.
00:58:41Well, I'm sorry.
00:58:43Maybe I shouldn't have stayed out that late.
00:58:47All of a sudden, there I was, a married man.
00:58:50I had to go out for a drink.
00:58:53By the time I got back in, you were asleep.
00:58:55Why did you go to see that girl in the diner?
00:58:57What girl?
00:58:59Clara saw you.
00:59:01You mean she went out after me?
00:59:03Yes, she told me this morning.
00:59:05Well, that's fine.
00:59:06Clara told you.
00:59:08What you gonna do?
00:59:09Follow me around everywhere I go?
00:59:10Check up on me?
00:59:12That sister of yours has been running your life up to now,
00:59:14and she better stay out of mine.
00:59:15You tell her.
00:59:16I was angry with her, too, at first.
00:59:18But she means well.
00:59:20Yeah? Now, why didn't she tell you?
00:59:23So you could have a good time worrying?
00:59:26I didn't worry.
00:59:29Until that...
00:59:31That man came to see you.
00:59:33What man?
00:59:36He's with the police.
00:59:37Wants to ask you something.
00:59:39Ask me what?
00:59:42About that girl.
00:59:44She was found murdered.
00:59:48Stella?
00:59:50Yes. Yes, that was her name.
00:59:56Eric,
00:59:58what did she mean to you?
01:00:03Does Mr. Judd know?
01:00:05Judd?
01:00:08He's downstairs waiting.
01:00:24Mr. Judd.
01:00:25Congratulations, Mr. Stanton.
01:00:26I just heard you were married.
01:00:28And my very best wishes to you, Mrs. Stanton.
01:00:30Thank you.
01:00:31Well, our church organist certainly surprised us all.
01:00:34Married in San Francisco and not in the church.
01:00:37It certainly saves time, doesn't it?
01:00:39Gives one the chance to get back the same night
01:00:41and have a nice little family dinner.
01:00:43And after that, where did you go?
01:00:44We retired.
01:00:46Everybody?
01:00:47I locked the door myself.
01:00:49Mm-hmm.
01:00:52Well, I guess I'll check up on a few things.
01:00:54Mind if I go with you?
01:00:55Not a bit.
01:00:56Thank you.
01:01:08How did it happen?
01:01:09Who did it?
01:01:10I don't know yet.
01:01:12The chief of police called me this morning
01:01:13and asked me to give them a little help.
01:01:15He appointed me special investigator.
01:01:17You know, it's strange.
01:01:19What is?
01:01:20That a man doesn't spend his wedding night at home.
01:01:23Did Clara tell you?
01:01:24No, she didn't say anything.
01:01:26I saw you around myself.
01:01:37Out of the way, folks.
01:01:38One side, please.
01:01:42Hi, Mr. Judd.
01:01:48One side, please.
01:01:49One side.
01:01:51Out of the way.
01:02:01Hello, Mr. Judd.
01:02:02Hi, sir.
01:02:07Hello, Pop.
01:02:37You can sit down now.
01:02:40Thanks for coming, Mr. Judd.
01:02:41Chief.
01:02:42The coroner was here.
01:02:43He'll send in his report as soon as possible.
01:02:46In the meantime, however,
01:02:49here's what he said.
01:02:51She was killed by a blow on the left temple.
01:02:55Weapon undetermined.
01:02:58Probably a lead pipe.
01:03:00Time of death between 3 and 4 a.m.
01:03:03Find the weapon?
01:03:04It's not in here.
01:03:08Who's she?
01:03:10She lived downstairs, Mr. Judd.
01:03:12Says someone ran out of here late last night.
01:03:17She found the gold watch under the step this morning.
01:03:21Guess he must have dropped it.
01:03:34What did he look like?
01:03:36I don't know, Mr.
01:03:37It was so dark, I couldn't see him.
01:03:40Just as I went to close the window,
01:03:41I saw him running down the street.
01:03:43How do you know it was a man you saw?
01:03:45I didn't say it was a man.
01:03:46Then it was a woman?
01:03:47No.
01:03:48Then it had to be a man.
01:03:50I guess it was.
01:03:51A man always took her home.
01:03:52Who?
01:03:53I don't know.
01:03:56I saw him come up.
01:03:58I saw him come up.
01:04:04And once I saw him.
01:04:08Which one did you see last night?
01:04:11Oh, I can't say if it was them, honest.
01:04:15Can I go now, Mr.?
01:04:16I should be down in the store.
01:04:18Please.
01:04:20I don't like to stay in here.
01:04:22You can go.
01:04:28So can you, Pop.
01:04:31I don't need you right now.
01:04:33Let me stay, Mr. Judd.
01:04:36It's her room.
01:04:37It was her room, Pop.
01:04:39She was a good girl, wasn't she, Mr. Judd?
01:04:41She never meant bad.
01:04:44Everybody liked her.
01:04:46Yes.
01:04:47Everybody.
01:04:52Your name?
01:04:53Atkins.
01:04:54I gave my signature.
01:04:55What do you do?
01:04:56Well, you know me.
01:04:57I operate jukeboxes around here.
01:04:58I had slot machines.
01:05:00Only in Nevada, where it's legal.
01:05:02Now, look.
01:05:03I already said what I had to to the chief.
01:05:05I'm not answering any more questions.
01:05:08What makes you think I'm going to question you, Mr. Atkins?
01:05:11I know how cops work.
01:05:13How do they work, Mr. Atkins?
01:05:15Well, you're supposed to show me.
01:05:19Perhaps we'd better go in there.
01:05:21If you don't mind.
01:05:22No, I don't mind.
01:05:27Here's his statement, Mr. Judd.
01:05:29Check his alibi.
01:05:31There's a phone in the store downstairs.
01:05:33Right away.
01:05:53Sit down.
01:06:00Now, let's get down to facts, Mr. Atkins.
01:06:04You've got my alibi right there.
01:06:06If you don't believe me, why don't you wait until the chief gets back?
01:06:08But I'm not interested in your alibi.
01:06:11I'd like to know when you gave her this watch.
01:06:14When?
01:06:16Why don't you ask me if I gave it to her?
01:06:18I know you did.
01:06:19You don't.
01:06:21I told you I know how cops work.
01:06:27I don't believe you know how I work, Mr. Atkins.
01:06:34Those kid gloves?
01:06:35Certainly.
01:06:37I don't like to mess up any case I'm on.
01:06:43You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:44No.
01:06:45You did.
01:06:46No!
01:06:47You gave it to her!
01:06:49You gave her the watch, didn't you?
01:06:50No.
01:06:51You did.
01:06:52You gave it to her!
01:06:53No!
01:06:58You gave it to her!
01:06:59You gave it to her!
01:07:16All right, let's pick it up.
01:07:18What about you and Stella?
01:07:21Well, I've known her for a long time.
01:07:25I used to board at her mother's home down in San Diego.
01:07:30I didn't have any money then, so I couldn't marry her.
01:07:35Skip the romance.
01:07:37Last night you picked her up at 10.15.
01:07:39You were with her until 2.00.
01:07:41What happened in between?
01:07:43We had dinner.
01:07:45A girl down at the beach.
01:07:48Well, you got there, didn't you?
01:07:50Yeah, yeah.
01:07:52That's when she said she'd marry me.
01:07:54Then you brought her home.
01:07:55You came up to kiss the bride.
01:07:57No, no, I didn't come up.
01:07:58I left right away.
01:08:01You see, when Stella was murdered,
01:08:04I was in a motor court just outside of Glen Olden.
01:08:08That's a hundred miles away.
01:08:09How do you know what time Stella was murdered?
01:08:11The coroner's report.
01:08:14It says around 4.00.
01:08:17Well, you know I couldn't have murdered her.
01:08:20Sit down.
01:08:27You did give her the watch, didn't you?
01:08:29No.
01:08:30Tell him I went home.
01:08:32Come on, Mr. Atkins.
01:08:34Just for the record, so we can clear that up.
01:08:36It doesn't make you any more guilty if you did give it to her.
01:08:40You quarreled, you took it back,
01:08:43and you lost it on the way down.
01:08:45No, I never gave her any jewelry.
01:08:47Come on, Mr. Atkins, admit it.
01:08:49No.
01:08:50But you were generous just once.
01:08:51No.
01:08:52Admit it.
01:08:53No.
01:08:58Mr. Stanton.
01:08:59Look, you don't try that on me.
01:09:02I wouldn't think of it.
01:09:04I just happen not to like his face.
01:09:07Mr. Chad, his alibi is O.P.
01:09:10The leader of the motor court in Glen Olden
01:09:12said he checked in at 2.30.
01:09:15All right, Mr. Atkins, you may go now.
01:09:19I knew his alibi, little devil.
01:09:21You got the watch?
01:09:23I didn't say you could go, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:29Sit down.
01:09:30I'm on to the rules.
01:09:31You can't ask me anything or hold me without charges.
01:09:34You seem to be an expert on loopholes.
01:09:37Perhaps you could tell us who might have murdered the girl.
01:09:39I don't know, could have been anybody.
01:09:41Atkins, maybe.
01:09:42No, it isn't Atkins.
01:09:43Pop, he was stuck on her.
01:09:44Perhaps.
01:09:45Or was it a woman?
01:09:47I don't know.
01:09:48I don't know.
01:09:49I don't know.
01:09:50I don't know.
01:09:51I don't know.
01:09:52Or was it a woman?
01:09:53Clara Mills.
01:09:54Or the woman downstairs.
01:09:55Or you, Mr. Stanton.
01:09:56Or you, Mr. Judd.
01:09:57A splendid deduction.
01:09:59Possibilities are many.
01:10:00And all quite interesting, don't you think?
01:10:02In a cold-blooded sort of way, sure.
01:10:04You still aren't helping us get anywhere.
01:10:06It's your case.
01:10:07But you're involved in it.
01:10:08More than you realize.
01:10:09Now, look.
01:10:10I'm looking.
01:10:11The facts.
01:10:13They're all against you.
01:10:15You came into town with no obvious reasons.
01:10:18Of course, you were going elsewhere.
01:10:21Meet a young lady.
01:10:23Spend some time with her.
01:10:24Then you come up here.
01:10:26The woman downstairs saw you.
01:10:29Then you meet another young lady and marry her.
01:10:32On your wedding night, you walked the streets
01:10:34looking for young lady number one.
01:10:36How do we know you didn't wait for her until...
01:10:38I didn't.
01:10:41You're an expert, Mr. Stanton.
01:10:43You know the exact value of a man's word against facts.
01:10:47Are you accusing me?
01:10:48Not yet.
01:10:50Perhaps after we find the weapon.
01:10:52However, I wouldn't plan on any out-of-town honeymoon just yet.
01:10:57We might need you any moment.
01:11:00Good day.
01:11:09What are you packing for?
01:11:11You're not going away now, are you?
01:11:12Yes, I am.
01:11:14Oh, June, I won't let you go with him.
01:11:16Not after that girl was murdered.
01:11:17I'm going, Clara.
01:11:18How can you?
01:11:20Why throw yourself away on someone who's not worth it?
01:11:22He isn't worth it.
01:11:24Oh, June, it's no use.
01:11:25There's no happiness in it.
01:11:26I know.
01:11:27I've been through all this.
01:11:28It's not the same thing, Clara.
01:11:29Please try to understand.
01:11:31I do understand.
01:11:33Once I believed in someone, too.
01:11:36No matter what people said, I believed in him.
01:11:39You don't know what he meant to me.
01:11:41What all of his lies and broken promises
01:11:43and dishonesty did to me.
01:11:46I can't let you ruin your life, too.
01:11:49June, a man who went out after another woman
01:11:51the night of your marriage.
01:11:52Maybe you're right, Clara, but I can't let it end now.
01:11:55I must give us every chance.
01:11:56I hardly know him yet.
01:11:58We've said so little to each other.
01:11:59We're practically strangers.
01:12:01Together, maybe he'll change.
01:12:03He won't change.
01:12:04Maybe not.
01:12:06But at least I'll have tried.
01:12:07Done everything I could.
01:12:11Goodbye, Clara.
01:12:15Goodbye.
01:12:26Eric, there's a train leaving in a half hour, and I thought...
01:12:28Forget about the honeymoon.
01:12:29I'm beating it alone.
01:12:30I'll make better time.
01:12:32You're running away.
01:12:33What do you want me to do?
01:12:34Stick around here?
01:12:35Get framed?
01:12:37Get my face punched in?
01:12:38You bet I'm running away.
01:12:40Won't it look bad if they watch you?
01:12:43That's for Mr. Judd to figure out.
01:12:44And if he wants to pin it on me,
01:12:45he'll have to find me first.
01:12:47Where will you go?
01:12:49What do you want to know for?
01:12:51Because I want to go with you.
01:12:54You'll need me to get the money in San Francisco.
01:12:56Who asked you for money?
01:12:58You'll need it.
01:13:01You mean you're giving me the money?
01:13:04No.
01:13:05I'm not giving it to you.
01:13:06It belongs to both of us.
01:13:08All right.
01:13:09When this thing blows over,
01:13:10I'll pay it back to you every cent.
01:13:11Very well.
01:13:12I'll get the car.
01:13:13No.
01:13:14And we can't take the train or the bus either.
01:13:16Judd will have them all watched.
01:13:19We've got to get on the highway without being seen.
01:13:21We'll hitchhike to San Francisco.
01:13:22And no luggage.
01:13:24It's got to look as if we were just out taking a walk.
01:13:26Come on.
01:13:44Good evening.
01:13:46In and out.
01:13:47Out and in.
01:13:48Sorry.
01:13:49One right after the other.
01:13:50Can't even wait till the room's ready.
01:13:54I never saw such a rush.
01:13:56Everybody getting married.
01:14:02What a dump.
01:14:05What a dump.
01:14:09What a dump.
01:14:11It isn't so bad.
01:14:18Tired?
01:14:20Maybe I am.
01:14:22Waiting for something to happen.
01:14:25Nothing's going to happen.
01:14:38Nothing's going to happen.
01:15:09Shut it off, will you?
01:15:13I just thought you might like a drink.
01:15:17I sure would.
01:15:18But not that.
01:15:19Well, there's a bar downstairs and we still have a little money left.
01:15:23What do you want me to do?
01:15:24Walk right into his arms?
01:15:26He probably isn't after you at all.
01:15:28Not much.
01:15:31Must have sent a delivery.
01:15:35Maybe we missed an edition.
01:15:37Couldn't be in the papers yet.
01:15:38It's too early.
01:15:39There's no reason to be afraid.
01:15:41Sure.
01:15:42Murder raps nothing.
01:15:43Let's just up and go home so he can pin it on me.
01:15:46I didn't say we ought to go home.
01:15:48No, you didn't say it, but you meant it.
01:15:50The room's not good enough.
01:15:52Why don't you go on, tell me.
01:15:53I got you into this.
01:15:54You're sorry you ever came.
01:15:56But I'm not.
01:15:57I'm not.
01:15:58I'm not.
01:15:59I'm not.
01:16:00I'm not.
01:16:01I'm not.
01:16:02You're sorry you ever came.
01:16:04But I'm not sorry.
01:16:05I wanted to.
01:16:06What for?
01:16:07So you could drive me nuts with that quiet way of yours?
01:16:09Eric.
01:16:10Why'd they ever bring you anyway?
01:16:11I don't need your dough.
01:16:13Wouldn't have to wait around here, hang around this dump.
01:16:15If I'd been alone, I could have kept right on going.
01:16:18Maybe I will.
01:16:33Double scotch, please.
01:16:35Better make it a single.
01:16:37I'll settle for a beer.
01:16:39Better make up your mind, mister.
01:16:41It is made up, a beer.
01:17:02I'll settle for a beer.
01:17:32Eric?
01:17:33Yes.
01:17:36Could you give me a towel, please?
01:17:37They're on the bed.
01:17:43Here.
01:17:44Thank you.
01:17:55Eric, could you get me my coat?
01:17:56It's in the closet.
01:18:02Thank you.
01:18:08Here.
01:18:30I, uh...
01:18:31I didn't bring you one of these.
01:18:34Thank you.
01:18:37And this.
01:18:39Helped you pass the time.
01:18:41That's very sweet of you.
01:18:44I thought it would say it better than I could, but...
01:18:48And I'm sorry.
01:18:49Just nervous, I guess.
01:18:50I understand.
01:18:52Well, all I mean is, there's nothing in it for you chasing around like this.
01:18:55You ought to go home.
01:18:56No.
01:18:57Why do you waste your money on a guy like me?
01:18:58I'm not wasting my money.
01:19:00It's yours as well.
01:19:01I don't care what you do with it.
01:19:02Burn it up.
01:19:03Tear it up.
01:19:04Do anything you want with it.
01:19:09Take it easy.
01:19:11I only meant it for your sake.
01:19:12If you had any consideration at all, you wouldn't even mention the money.
01:19:15Okay.
01:19:16But anytime you want to, you can always pull out.
01:19:18Remember that.
01:19:19Bill fixed you up with a divorce just for the asking.
01:19:21Just tell him how I lied to you.
01:19:23That I only married you for your money.
01:19:24I'm wanted for murder.
01:19:25You didn't murder that girl.
01:19:26Maybe I did.
01:19:27You didn't even ask me.
01:19:28I didn't have to.
01:19:29I knew you didn't.
01:19:30What do you know about it?
01:19:31All I know is that I love you.
01:19:32I love you, Eric.
01:19:33I love you.
01:19:34I could go on for the rest of the night telling you about my batting average.
01:20:01How many times I've struck out.
01:20:03Even when I hit a home run, it wasn't any different.
01:20:06Like the time in New York, just before I came west.
01:20:09I'd started a publicity office.
01:20:12Like always, it was great in the beginning.
01:20:14Guy comes along, wants to buy the business, offered me 8,000 bucks on the line.
01:20:19I took it.
01:20:21We had a big celebration that night.
01:20:23In a couple of hours, I'd lost half of it back.
01:20:26To him and his friends.
01:20:28I knew the dice were loaded.
01:20:30But I couldn't prove it.
01:20:32Anyway, I came west.
01:20:33Chicago for a while.
01:20:36Then Omaha.
01:20:38Las Vegas.
01:20:39That's where I dropped the other half of the dough.
01:20:43When I was kicked off of that bus at Walton, I only had one dollar left.
01:20:50And then...
01:20:52Now, but why go on?
01:20:56I want to know everything about you.
01:21:01It all adds up to only one thing.
01:21:03A washout.
01:21:05That's what you're looking at.
01:21:06A complete washout at 30.
01:21:10Yeah, I'm finished, okay?
01:21:12You're not finished, Eric.
01:21:13Sure I am.
01:21:15I'm tired.
01:21:17Like I was a million years old.
01:21:19With a million jobs behind me.
01:21:21And girls.
01:21:24Chances I never followed up.
01:21:26Eric.
01:21:28Did you care very much for Stella?
01:21:33I don't know.
01:21:35I guess I did.
01:21:39I even promised her I'd marry her.
01:21:42I can't figure it out now.
01:21:46Would have lasted a couple weeks.
01:21:48Maybe less.
01:21:52Anyway, that's all gone.
01:21:57Just as if it died with her.
01:22:01Yeah, that's over too.
01:22:03Up in smoke.
01:22:04Like everything in my life.
01:22:06My school, the publicity game.
01:22:08Easy come, easy go.
01:22:11I got everything by talking fast in a world that goes for talk.
01:22:15And end up with exactly nothing.
01:22:22Perhaps we can find what you want when this is all cleared up.
01:22:25If it's cleared up.
01:22:28Eric.
01:22:30Wouldn't it look better not to run away?
01:22:32To go back to Walden?
01:22:34Sure, go back to the chair.
01:22:36Or is it the gas chamber in California?
01:22:38You're innocent.
01:22:39There's nothing to worry about.
01:22:41Maybe that's the way it works in your books.
01:22:45But even when I was a kid,
01:22:46I was always being beaten up for something I didn't do.
01:22:49That's when I learned to run away before it was too late.
01:22:53You're tired.
01:22:55Come, lie down.
01:23:04Tomorrow, we'll go wherever you want to go.
01:23:09Joan.
01:23:11Why don't you just go on home?
01:23:14We're married, remember?
01:23:17Besides, I...
01:23:19I want to be with you.
01:23:21Why?
01:23:24I need you, Eric.
01:23:27You need me?
01:23:29Yes.
01:23:30You're my husband.
01:23:32And I'm your wife.
01:23:34Right out of a book.
01:23:37Again.
01:23:39Yes.
01:23:40Out of a book.
01:23:43We were born to tread the earth as angels.
01:23:47To seek out heaven this side of the sky.
01:23:51But they who race alone
01:23:53shall stumble in the dark and fall from grace.
01:23:58Go on.
01:23:59Sounds good.
01:24:02Then love alone can make the fallen angel rise.
01:24:07For only two together can enter paradise.
01:24:37I love you.
01:24:38I love you.
01:24:39I love you.
01:24:40I love you.
01:24:41I love you.
01:24:42I love you.
01:24:43I love you.
01:24:44I love you.
01:24:45I love you.
01:24:46I love you.
01:24:47I love you.
01:24:48I love you.
01:24:49I love you.
01:24:50I love you.
01:24:51I love you.
01:24:52I love you.
01:24:53I love you.
01:24:54I love you.
01:24:55I love you.
01:24:56I love you.
01:24:57I love you.
01:24:58I love you.
01:24:59I love you.
01:25:00I love you.
01:25:01I love you.
01:25:02I love you.
01:25:03I love you.
01:25:04I love you.
01:25:05I love you.
01:25:06I love you.
01:25:07I love you.
01:25:08I love you.
01:25:09I love you.
01:25:10I love you.
01:25:11I love you.
01:25:12I love you.
01:25:13I love you.
01:25:14I love you.
01:25:15I love you.
01:25:16I love you.
01:25:17I love you.
01:25:18I love you.
01:25:19I love you.
01:25:20I love you.
01:25:21I love you.
01:25:22I love you.
01:25:23I love you.
01:25:24I love you.
01:25:25I love you.
01:25:26I love you.
01:25:27I love you.
01:25:28I love you.
01:25:29I love you.
01:25:30I love you.
01:25:31I love you.
01:25:32I love you.
01:25:33I love you.
01:25:34I love you.
01:25:36I love you.
01:25:37I love you.
01:25:38I love you.
01:25:39I love you.
01:25:40I love you.
01:25:41I love you.
01:25:424 and a half minute eggs.
01:25:43I certainly married a man with a peculiar taste.
01:25:46You can still get out of it.
01:25:48Promise me you'll never say that again.
01:25:51Okay, I promise.
01:25:53It's 10 o'clock.
01:25:56Bank just opened.
01:26:00Let's go.
01:26:02Morning papers here. All exceptional papers.
01:26:05Other exceptional papers.
01:26:08Papers. Morning papers.
01:26:10Papers, sir.
01:26:12You wait here. I'll be right back.
01:26:14Shine, sir.
01:26:15Papers here. Morning papers. All exceptional papers.
01:26:20Papers. Other exceptional papers.
01:26:23Morning papers here.
01:26:26Papers.
01:26:27Mrs. Stanton?
01:26:28Yes?
01:26:30Mrs. Stanton?
01:26:31Yes?
01:26:34Will you come with us, please?
01:27:00Here.
01:27:02But I ain't finished yet.
01:27:05Now, let's be sensible. We've been here for hours.
01:27:14Tell us where he is.
01:27:16We're bound to find him soon.
01:27:24Mrs. Stanton?
01:27:25Yes?
01:27:27Mrs. Stanton, you're not helping him or yourself.
01:27:30Getting mixed up in this murder is an accessory after the fact.
01:27:33If he doesn't want to come back, he must have a reason.
01:27:36What reason could an innocent man have?
01:27:39Assuming he's innocent.
01:27:41He is. He could never have done it.
01:27:43How can you say that?
01:27:46You know very little about him.
01:27:48He came into town a total stranger, and within a week he married you.
01:27:52All to his credit, of course.
01:27:54But why this trust in him?
01:27:56A man who went out to see another woman the night of your marriage.
01:28:01That's between the two of us.
01:28:07Ask Miss Clara Mills to come in.
01:28:12Miss Mills, please.
01:28:15Miss Mills, please.
01:28:24Sit down, Miss Mills.
01:28:33In your sworn statement, you identified this envelope,
01:28:36which was found in your safe deposit box, as the one Mr. Stanton gave you.
01:28:40Would you please repeat that for your sister?
01:28:43Yes.
01:28:45This is the envelope he gave me after they were married in San Francisco.
01:28:48Why did he want you to put it away?
01:28:51He said it contained something valuable.
01:28:55Would you care to see your husband's valuable property, Mrs. Stanton?
01:29:03A blank piece of paper.
01:29:07Now, why would a man want to put a blank piece of paper in your safe deposit box?
01:29:12I'll tell you.
01:29:14It gives him the excuse to open the box, to steal your money.
01:29:17No, he wouldn't.
01:29:18Whatever he did, he...
01:29:20He did because he was confused.
01:29:22He knew what he was doing.
01:29:23He wanted that money so he could run away with that girl.
01:29:26But he didn't run away with her.
01:29:27No, he made the mistake of coming back a married man.
01:29:30And she didn't want to have anything to do with married men.
01:29:33They had an argument and he killed her.
01:29:35You're only assuming that. You have no proof.
01:29:38All right.
01:29:39But why shield a man who lied to you?
01:29:41Who wanted to steal from you?
01:29:43When you have positive proof that he married you for your money.
01:29:46He didn't lie to me.
01:29:48And he isn't guilty. I know he isn't.
01:29:50He only ran away because he had to.
01:29:53He's always had to run away. All his life.
01:29:55Even as a child when he was beaten for things he didn't do.
01:29:59But he won't come back because of you.
01:30:01Because you won't give him a chance.
01:30:03You only think the worst of him.
01:30:05Trying to make him guilty of murder when he didn't do it.
01:30:08He didn't do it. He didn't do it.
01:30:14Take her home now.
01:30:19You're responsible she doesn't leave the house.
01:30:21I'm sorry.
01:30:37Not the same, Mr. Judd.
01:30:39I think I'll sell the place.
01:30:52Hello, Pop.
01:30:54Some coffee, please.
01:31:07I knew you'd be back.
01:31:09Yeah.
01:31:11Well, drink your coffee and we'll go down to the chief of police.
01:31:15Thanks.
01:31:21Enjoy San Francisco?
01:31:25Sure.
01:31:27How come you didn't go after me?
01:31:29I didn't have to.
01:31:31And how come there wasn't a word about Stella's murder in the papers?
01:31:35Why are you holding it back?
01:31:37Professional reasons.
01:31:39And was it for professional reasons you beat up Atkins?
01:31:42When all the time you knew he was innocent?
01:31:45You don't seem to appreciate my methods, Mr. Stanton.
01:31:49Frankly, no.
01:31:51That's what brought me back.
01:31:53You know, I got worrying about you in San Francisco.
01:31:56About me?
01:31:59Yes, Mr. Judd.
01:32:01You know, you ought to stay home nights with your bad health.
01:32:04Not walk the streets.
01:32:07Like the night you said you saw me looking for Stella.
01:32:10More coffee, Pop.
01:32:12You know, you weren't strong enough to keep on working on the New York force.
01:32:16Why are you working so hard on this case?
01:32:19Maybe you better slow down.
01:32:21Don't you worry about me.
01:32:23I'm okay.
01:32:25I said I wanted more coffee, Pop.
01:32:27Get it?
01:32:28I don't worry about you, Mr. Judd.
01:32:30Not anymore.
01:32:32Not since I called a friend of mine in the DA's office in New York.
01:32:37He assured me you were in perfect health when you left there.
01:32:41They only retired you from the force because you ruined another man's health.
01:32:45Almost killed him in a routine investigation.
01:32:48They would have sent you up if you hadn't had such a good record.
01:32:52That was before you started to enjoy your work too much.
01:32:55Wearing gloves, you know.
01:32:57And what's more, I checked up on the...
01:32:58That's enough.
01:33:00Save it for the chief.
01:33:03Stay on, Pop.
01:33:05Now, you remember that watch?
01:33:07The one with the three diamonds that belonged to Stella.
01:33:10Ever found out who bought it for her?
01:33:12Perhaps.
01:33:14You know, you made your fatal mistake, Judd,
01:33:16when you had June arrested up in San Francisco.
01:33:19Well, you scared me at first, all right.
01:33:21But then I stopped.
01:33:23And I began to think.
01:33:25And I kept right on thinking about that watch.
01:33:28And I started a little routine investigation of my own.
01:33:31The result is the Walton police will get a wire from San Francisco.
01:33:35They'll know who bought that watch by tomorrow morning.
01:33:38That is, unless you admit it tonight.
01:33:41Shall we go?
01:33:43Oh, I came in a police car. They're waiting outside.
01:33:45I thought it would be more convenient.
01:33:49Sit down.
01:33:54You don't mind if I finish my coffee?
01:33:56You're insane, Judd. The police are waiting right outside.
01:33:59Perhaps I am insane.
01:34:05Perhaps this might have been the perfect crime
01:34:08if I hadn't dropped the watch.
01:34:10Oh, I doubt it.
01:34:12Always some slip.
01:34:14Yeah, there always is.
01:34:17You understand.
01:34:20You know what she was like.
01:34:23You couldn't get away from her either.
01:34:26Two years I came in here and drank coffee
01:34:29just to get a look at her.
01:34:32Day after day for two years.
01:34:36Insane, perhaps.
01:34:39Those evenings when she went out with other men
01:34:41while I was waiting for her in the shadow of the porch.
01:34:46Remember three nights ago when you brought her home and kissed her?
01:34:51I was standing there.
01:34:55Insane, perhaps.
01:34:58The night before last when she was out with Atkins.
01:35:03After he left, I went up.
01:35:05When she told me she wouldn't wait any longer
01:35:07for my wife to give me a divorce,
01:35:09that she was going to marry that slut machine operator
01:35:11the next morning,
01:35:13I hit her.
01:35:16Unfortunately, I didn't remember my ring.
01:35:21Get out of the way, Mr. Stanton! I'm gonna kill him!
01:35:23He murdered Sally! I'm gonna kill him!
01:35:25I'm gonna kill him! I'm gonna kill him!
01:35:36Let's go.
01:35:59You ought to forget it, Pop.
01:36:02No, I'll never forget Stella.
01:36:05You will.
01:36:08I felt the same way myself until...
01:36:11Well, you'll find yourself, Pop.
01:36:19Eric.
01:36:32Where to?
01:36:34Home.
