00:00♪
00:09The makers of Campbell's Soup present,
00:12The Campbell Playhouse.
00:14Boston Wells, producer.
00:16♪
00:35♪
00:48Good evening, this is Orton Wells.
00:51Our offering for tonight deals with those fabulous creatures
00:55who are rapidly becoming a race apart,
00:58the professional flyers of the world.
01:01While not exactly unheralded and unsung,
01:05not that is in regard to their spectacular conquest of the air
01:08in which they span whole continents and oceans without pause or stop,
01:13but in such everyday routine affairs as getting the mail through,
01:16no matter how inaccessible a destination,
01:19how menacing the elements,
01:21it's a fact that their achievements are taken much too much for granted.
01:26Tonight we deal with such a group of men.
01:29In this instance, flying all over a South American republic
01:33whose capital is here called Taranka,
01:37who themselves see nothing more unusual or heroic in what they're doing
01:41than if there were so many, well, so many radio producers.
01:47Only Angels Have Wings is the title of our offering.
01:50It's still remembered happily by those who saw it as a Columbia Picture production,
01:54with Cary Grant, Gene Arthur, and Richard Bartholomew.
01:58Our guest star tonight is a beautiful and animated young lady from Hollywood
02:01who has rapidly worked her way into the affections of all of us
02:05with a number of distinguished and memorable characterizations,
02:08Miss Joan Blondell.
02:11But before our story begins, Mr. Ernest Chappell would like a word with the ladies especially.
02:15Chappell, sir.
02:16Thank you, Orson Welles, and I'll be direct and to the point.
02:19Tell me, do you still go to the trouble of making vegetable soup at your house?
02:23Frankly, Mr. Chappell, I do.
02:25When it comes to the other soups, I serve Campbell's,
02:27but my mother and her mother before her...
02:29I understand that, and making vegetable soup is a sort of a tradition in your family, is that so?
02:34Why, yes, you might call it that.
02:36And I respect that tradition,
02:37but that's just the reason I'd like you particularly to try Campbell's vegetable soup.
02:42Quite apart from the kitchen time it will save you, you'll find when you taste it
02:46that Campbell's vegetable soup has the same slow-simmered, rugged beef stock as yours.
02:51And in it, fifteen different kinds of vegetables, wholesome and tender and flavorful.
02:55Fifteen different vegetables, did you say?
02:57Well, that's many more than I ever think of you, sir.
02:59Yes, I guess it is, but that's what helps to make Campbell's vegetable soup so extra tempting
03:04that when home cooks try it, they decide then and there to let Campbell's make their vegetable soup for them.
03:09Well, I'm going to try it, Mr. Chappell.
03:11It certainly sounds like the kind of vegetable soup I want my family to have.
03:14I think you'll find it so.
03:17And I hope that every woman listening who hasn't tried vegetable soup as Campbell's make it will do so too.
03:23Will you? Soon.
03:25And now, on the Angels Have Wings, starring Orson Welles and Joan Blondell.
03:56All aboard for Barranca!
04:00All aboard for Barranca!
04:02Oh, Purser.
04:02Yes, Miss Lee.
04:03How long do we stay in Barranca?
04:04The ship sails at four in the morning.
04:06We're sorry, but...
04:06From the looks of this place, that'll be long enough.
04:09Where's a good place to go?
04:10There's only one place.
04:11The cafe at the airport.
04:13It's called the Dutchman's.
04:14If I had a quarter for every time I've been in a dump in the tropics called the Dutchman's,
04:18how do you get there?
04:19Just up that street, miss.
04:20It's the only one.
04:22¡Preparo!
04:24¡Cogida la panza!
04:26¡Cogida la panza!
04:28Un polvo de llano se suma al mar.
04:35Un polvo de llano se suma al mar.
04:47Well, cut off my legs and call me shorty.
04:50Yeah, I'm gonna talk to that damn lesson.
04:52Right off the ship like that, I got a notion she'd like to meet up with a nice guy like me.
04:54Yeah, the last time you had a notion like that, Joe, you got your jaw broken.
04:57Yeah, well, how was I to know she was a female heavyweight champion of the Argentine?
05:01Hey, hiya, babe.
05:02If you banana cowboys don't go away and leave me alone...
05:05We're not banana cowboys.
05:05What do you guys want?
05:06It ain't fair to ask us that quick.
05:08We just want to buy you a drink.
05:10Are you American?
05:11Beautiful, we're so American, we don't even know the words of the Star Spangled Banner.
05:14Oh, I'd just say so. I'll buy you a drink.
05:16Fair enough.
05:16Oh, it sure sounds good to hear something that doesn't sound like pig Latin.
05:20Where you from?
05:21Well, I'm Wes Peters.
05:22Yeah, and I'm Joe Seller.
05:23Yeah, New York and Kansas, that's us.
05:24Say, what's your name?
05:25Barney, Barney Lee.
05:26Well, boys, I'm glad you found some social life for yourselves, but where's the mail?
05:30We dropped the mail bags in your office, Dutchie.
05:32That's good, Les.
05:33That's where we first spotted you, Miss Lee, down at the boat when we was getting the mail.
05:35Dutchie, this is Miss Lee.
05:37How do you do?
05:38How are you?
05:38Miss Lee, this gentleman here is postmaster and leading banker of Barranca.
05:42Also the owner of the general store, when you're right.
05:44And?
05:44Manager, cook, waiter, and general staff of the hotel and restaurant you're in right now.
05:48And I'll pay no attention to them, Miss Lee.
05:51My name's John Van Ryder.
05:53Shake.
05:53Hello, Dutchie.
05:54Hey, Dutchie, bring us a bottle of scotch, huh?
05:56Sure, sure.
05:57Wait, just wait and see.
05:58My scotch is marvelous.
06:00My scotch is marvelous.
06:01Why, have a drink with us, Dutchie.
06:03Sure, thanks, I will, but I'll have bourbon.
06:06I'll bring it right away.
06:07Yeah, he makes his own peanuts, too.
06:09Say, what are you fellas doing down here?
06:11Yeah, same as everybody here, working for the Dutchman.
06:13Working at what?
06:14We fly a little mail and things here and there.
06:19Who would ever think there was a flying field in a place like this?
06:21Where is it?
06:22What, the flying field?
06:23Yeah.
06:23Outside the door.
06:24Yeah, she owns that, too.
06:25Yeah, you see, Dutchie owns the flying field, and we call it the flying field.
06:27Mucho gracias.
06:28Salud, Dutchie.
06:29Well, what are you doing down here, Miss Lee?
06:31On your way back to the States?
06:32Yes, I don't get a job in Panama.
06:34Ah, professional, eh?
06:35Uh-huh, I quit a show in Valparaiso.
06:38Hey, Dutchie, leave that bottle on the table.
06:39Hey, you boys better go easy.
06:41What for?
06:42Why?
06:43One of you has to fly the mail tonight.
06:45Hey, I thought Tony was first out.
06:46Tony's got a touch of fever.
06:48Hey, can you please tell me one thing?
06:50He's right about drinking.
06:51If you boys are worried about...
06:52We're not worried about what's going on.
06:53Yeah, what we're worried about is...
06:54Who is going to take you to dinner?
06:56Yeah.
06:56Who said anything about staying for dinner?
06:58I would have sent you a formal invitation later.
07:00Say, uh, how do you like your steak?
07:02No, you mean real American steak?
07:04Well, I don't like to brag, Miss Lee, but how do you think I keep those boys down here?
07:09Then I guess I'm staying for dinner.
07:11Oh, I hate that noise.
07:13Don't stop us.
07:14Don't stop us.
07:15You're up next.
07:16Hey, Joe, stand by.
07:17Check this clearly.
07:18Uh, not me, Jeff.
07:19I'm having dinner with Miss Lee.
07:20Hey, what's going on here?
07:23Uh, this is Miss Lee.
07:25Mr. Jeff Carter.
07:26How do you do?
07:27Hello, Miss Lee.
07:29I'm sorry, Joe.
07:30The mail goes on schedule instead of the pilot.
07:32No, since when, Jeff?
07:33Anyway, let's continue.
07:34I want Les to go to the warehouse and check over that stuff that came in on the boat.
07:38Hey.
07:39Hey, that's an all-night job.
07:41What'd you think that up?
07:42Just now.
07:42Come on, get going, Joe.
07:43Uh, yeah, but, uh, what about Miss Lee?
07:45Don't you worry about Miss Lee.
07:47I'll be glad to take up where you left off.
07:49Look here, mister.
07:50I got something to say about this, you know.
07:53Chorus girl?
07:54No.
07:54I do a specialty.
07:56So much the better.
07:58Uh, pick up that stuff on your way back from that cruises, Joe.
08:02See you later, Miss Lee.
08:03Oh, you will, will you?
08:05Hey, who does that guy think he is?
08:06He don't have to think who he is.
08:08Yeah, he's the boss.
08:09Well, he's not my boss.
08:10Well, don't you bet on that.
08:11Well, so long, Bonnie.
08:14I'll be seeing you.
08:15Goodbye, Joe.
08:16Now, be careful, Joe.
08:18No chances.
08:26How can he fly in this fog?
08:27Well, it's just on the ground.
08:29It's only 200 or 300 feet thick.
08:31And what he's waiting for is the heavy stuff
08:33piled up in the pass.
08:34Sounds like double talk to me.
08:35Now, the only way of getting in ranch from here
08:37is through a deep pass.
08:38It's about 14,000 feet in the low spot.
08:41We keep a look out there all the time
08:42to tell us when it clears.
08:43Call in Baranca.
08:45Call in Baranca.
08:46Call in Baranca.
08:48OK, Tex, go ahead.
08:49That's the lookout I was telling you about, Bonnie.
08:51How's it look up there, Tex?
08:52Jeff, you better hold Joe down there for a while.
08:55I can't.
08:56He's already gone.
08:57You ought to be able to see him by now.
08:58I can't see the tip of my nose.
09:01Jeff, it's closing in again.
09:03You can't tell what this stuff will do.
09:05OK, Tex.
09:07Lance, you better stand by and put out a flare
09:08in case I don't get hold of him.
09:10Never mind the flare, Jeff.
09:11Little Joey heard every word.
09:13What'll I do, come back?
09:15Yeah.
09:17Look, Joe, it's pretty thick down here.
09:18Start letting down.
09:19You get over the fog.
09:22I'll line you up and talk you in.
09:23Say, Jeff.
09:24What?
09:25Would you tell that beautiful blonde
09:27not to steal us a runnin', huh?
09:28Will you stick to business, Joe?
09:30Well, all I want to do is order two steaks for dinner.
09:32Come on, everybody, out in the field.
09:34Say, Jeff.
09:35Hey, Jeff, I said all I want to do
09:36is order two steaks for dinner.
09:38How about it, Dante?
09:39Things will pick up.
09:40OK, Joe.
09:44Let's get going, Kent.
09:45Whatever you say, Jeff.
09:46Buck in that field set.
09:47Get the big light ready.
09:48Already done, Jeff.
09:49Straight up.
09:49Straight up it is.
09:50Awful cold out.
09:51That light's above us.
09:52OK.
09:53Joe's tougher.
09:54Joe's tougher.
09:56OK, Kent.
09:57Coming down.
09:58On top of the fog.
09:59It's 1,500.
10:01He's higher than I thought, Jeff.
10:02He's too hot.
10:03He's too hot.
10:04He's too hot.
10:05He's too hot.
10:06He's too hot.
10:07He's too hot.
10:08He's too hot.
10:09He's too hot.
10:10He's too hot.
10:11He's too hot.
10:12OK, we'll try the ninth lot, Jeff.
10:13You too.
10:14Watch carefully, Joe.
10:15We're turning on the lights.
10:16Here they go.
10:17There you are, Joe.
10:19Can you see them?
10:22No, no look.
10:24Can't even see the globe.
10:26Must be thick, and it looks.
10:27It's pretty thick all right.
10:29Hey, you've wiped down on that piano.
10:30Cut it with a knife, all right?
10:31If you can see through the finely knifed.
10:33Cut the hell out!
10:34If you can see through the finely knifed.
10:35I know just how Joe feels.
10:37I, uh.
10:38Now look, Joe.
10:38Joe, pay attention.
10:40It's all closed in down here.
10:41You're closed in down here. You're west of field. Joe, west of field. You fly due east. Fly due east. Joe?
10:51Fly 1,500 due east. Due east at 1,500.
10:55Flinch your motor, Joe.
11:03All right, Joe, you're passing over the field. Now go one mile, turn 180 degrees and start letting it down. Watch for the lights.
11:12He sounds a little south, Jeff.
11:15Joe, you're a little south. A little south.
11:17Hold steady, John. Turning north.
11:20Switch the light, Jeff.
11:23Here I go. 1,200. 1,000. 800. 600.
11:34Hey, Joe. Joe, you're coming in too high. You're overshooting the field.
11:41Joe, make a turn. Go further back. Try it again.
11:46Okay. I'm turning.
11:50Look, Joe, can't you see the lights? Now, doesn't it even look like a dead saddle?
11:54His line was okay, Jeff.
11:56Yeah. Joe, your direction was perfect. Be sure to keep the same line.
12:00All right, Jeff. I'm turning.
12:04Here I go. 1,500. 500. 400.
12:11Take it easy, Joe. Take it easy.
12:12Shut up, Dutchie.
12:13300.
12:15Go now, Joe, cutter.
12:17I'm down to 100 now, Jeff.
12:19Jeff, that doesn't sound...
12:20Joe, pull it up. Pull up. You're hanging to the tree.
12:27Look, Joe. Joe, you had the wrong line, Joe.
12:31You're way off.
12:33Okay, Jeff. Jeff, it's all the line. I'll get it next time.
12:37How's it going, Joe? Don't take any more chances.
12:40You got three hours, Jeff, so you better stay up there and cruise around.
12:43Three hours? Now, Jeff, you'll be almost on the boat by then.
12:46Listen, I told you to stick to business. Now, get up and top cruise around till it opens up down here.
12:49That's right, Jeff. Go ahead and do it.
12:51Oh, Jeff, give me one more chance.
12:53Hey, Jeff, I think I see a hole.
12:54Yeah, I do see a hole.
12:55Now, Joe, I'm coming down.
12:56Listen, Joe, you got your order. Stay up there and quit worrying about that line.
13:00It's all right, Jeff. I see the line. I'll make it. I'll make it easy.
13:03Listen, Joe. Now, pull up. Pull up. You're hanging to the tree. Go.
13:12Get away.
13:13Come on. Come on.
13:14Hey, Jeff, cut him out.
13:15Okay, Jeff.
13:16Jeff, you tell him before he's told it to the field and keep it that way. Hurry up.
13:18Hey, Jeff, right away.
13:19You don't know you called your quid, Jeff.
13:20Pam, it's a wise guy. You're like quid.
13:22Do something. Do something.
13:23You needn't remind him, Samir.
13:25Why don't you stand there doing nothing?
13:26I'll tell him you caused enough trouble.
13:28Colin Miranda. Colin Miranda.
13:30Go ahead, Tex.
13:31Hey, Jeff. It's all cleared up now.
13:34Hey, Jeff, the pass is clear.
13:37Jeff, did you get Joe down all right?
13:40All except for one tree that's stuck up too high.
13:47Oh, Mr. Carter.
13:49Yeah?
13:50Mr. Carter, do you think...
13:52I mean, do you think it was my fault what happened out there?
13:55Sure it was your fault.
13:56You were going to have dinner with him. The Dutchman hired him.
13:58I sent him up on schedule.
13:59The fog came and a tree got in the way. All your fault.
14:02Forget it.
14:03Miss, you want the honors. Come on, let's eat.
14:05I will not.
14:06Hi, Jeff.
14:07Hi, Les. Where you been?
14:08Down at the warehouse, checking up on those spare parts for you, like you told me.
14:12I, uh, here I missed all the excitement around here.
14:14You sure did, Les. Going to eat?
14:16Sure.
14:17Are you going to change your mind, Miss Lee?
14:18Certainly not.
14:19Here's your steak, Miss.
14:21Here's the other one who wants it.
14:23Put it right here.
14:24Thank you, Samir.
14:25Will you have some coffee with me now?
14:27The steak looks fine.
14:28How can you do that?
14:29Do what?
14:30Eat that steak.
14:31What's the matter with it?
14:32It's his.
14:33Look, what do you want me to do, have it stuffed?
14:34Don't you got any feelings? Don't you realize he's dead?
14:36Who's dead?
14:38You know anybody around here who's dead, Les?
14:41News to me.
14:42Who's dead?
14:43Joe.
14:44Joe?
14:45Joe who?
14:46Anybody know a Joe?
14:48What's the matter with you?
14:49You were sitting here talking with us and laughing just a few minutes ago, and now...
14:53News to her, and tell her there's no hope for you.
15:01Well, how do you like that?
15:03Don't say I told you, Jeff, but she slapped your face.
15:05I know.
15:06Hey, you.
15:07Don't talk to me.
15:08You little fool.
15:10Why don't you use your head?
15:11Come on, stop it.
15:12How can you act like this?
15:13Look at that poor kid.
15:14Yeah, I know he's dead.
15:15Yes, he's dead.
15:16That's right.
15:17He's been dead for about 20 minutes.
15:19And all the weeping and wailing in the world won't make him any deader 20 years from now.
15:22If you feel like bawling, how do you think we feel?
15:24I know how I feel.
15:25You go on outside and walk around and stay there until you can pull all that together.
15:28If you can't do it, don't come back at all.
15:30Hi, lady.
15:32Oh.
15:33I didn't mean to make a scene.
15:35Don't call me mister.
15:36Call me kid.
15:38Okay, kid.
15:39You see, I...
15:40I know.
15:41I know.
15:42That's why I followed you out here.
15:43I kind of figured...
15:44A kid.
15:45You know...
15:46Can you kick real hard?
15:47Well, maybe you don't need it.
15:49I think I feel better.
15:51You know, all my life I've hated funerals.
15:54What's in the bar that never brings anybody back,
15:57and just borrows them and brings them as they are.
16:00Yet when I see people actually facing it that way,
16:03I act like a sap.
16:05You know, this lying business is all new to me.
16:08Oh, you'll learn.
16:09Or you won't.
16:10And then it won't make any difference.
16:12This sort of thing happens very often.
16:14Well, that depends on the weather and the luck.
16:16We've gone spades twice in the last three months,
16:19not counting this one.
16:20Suppose you'll be at it again tomorrow.
16:22Tonight, if it clears.
16:23You must love it.
16:24Flying, I mean.
16:25Why do you think we came to this kind of a place?
16:28Just like being in love with a buzzsaw.
16:30No future in it.
16:32What is there about it that gets you?
16:34Huh?
16:35I said, what is there about it that gets you?
16:37Oh, I've been in it 22 years,
16:39and I couldn't give you an answer that'd make any sense.
16:42That's funny.
16:43What's so funny about that?
16:44My dad used to say.
16:45Flyer?
16:46No, trapeze.
16:47High stuff.
16:48He wouldn't use a net.
16:49Hmm.
16:50Not much future in that, either.
16:51No, we found that out.
16:52So tell me about this head man, this Jeff over here.
16:55Does he go up to?
16:56Well, only when he thinks it's too tough for anybody else.
16:59Well, that just goes to show you how wrong you can be.
17:03Well, I've been Jeff's closest friend
17:05ever since he was old enough to have friends.
17:07And you can take it from me.
17:08You've got no idea how wrong you can be about him.
17:11If you're a girl.
17:12He's the greatest guy in the world,
17:14but he's an awful good guy for a gal to stay away from.
17:17I'll remember that.
17:18Thanks.
17:39Well, Jeff, I'm closing off for the week.
17:41Stick around if you want to.
17:43You want a drink or to help yourself?
17:46Good night, Miss Lee.
17:47Bye, Dutchie.
17:48Drop in again sometime when you come this way.
17:51I will.
17:54All finished?
17:55All finished.
17:56Goodbye, mister.
17:58Too bad Barranca's so far from Brooklyn.
18:00What's your hurry?
18:01It's only a few minutes after 12.
18:04Your boat doesn't sail till 4 o'clock.
18:06When are you going to get some sleep?
18:08After your boat sails.
18:10How about a drink?
18:12Aren't you just wasting your time?
18:14Well, that's a point that's open to argument.
18:16That I'm afraid of.
18:17What?
18:18Those arguments.
18:19What's the matter with them?
18:20Oh, they're too one-sided.
18:21Well, no hard feelings.
18:24Your apology is accepted.
18:26So tell me something, will you?
18:28What was she like anyway?
18:29Who?
18:30That girl that made you act the way you do.
18:33Still carrying a torch for her, aren't you?
18:35Got a match?
18:37Don't you ever have any?
18:38No, don't believe in laying in a supply of anything.
18:41That's right.
18:42No looking ahead, no tomorrow, just today.
18:45That's right.
18:46Is that why she gave you the air?
18:48Who?
18:49That girl.
18:50Listen to me.
18:52I wouldn't ask any woman.
18:54Do you ever know a woman who didn't want to make plans, map out everything, get it all set?
18:58Oh, is that a crime?
18:59I don't blame them, I guess.
19:00It's the only way they can operate, run a home and have kids.
19:02Didn't you ask her to?
19:03Who?
19:04That girl!
19:05I told you I wouldn't ask.
19:06What if she was willing to?
19:08That's what they all say.
19:10Women think they can take it, but they can't.
19:12The minute you get up in the air, they start calling the airport.
19:15When you get down, you find them waiting for you, so scared they hate you inside.
19:19Oh, dear.
19:20Now, if there's anything else you'd like to know about me, I'd be only too glad.
19:25Now, would you like to go over to my room, got some letters from home.
19:29Pictures of my father and mother, pictures of me the first time I went up in the air.
19:35Pictures of my first crash.
19:37Pictures of you when you were a baby?
19:39I never remember.
19:40Want to go and look?
19:41Sure.
19:43Okay.
19:44See that door?
19:45Uh-huh.
19:46Okay.
19:47We'll open it.
19:48Keep right on going.
19:49Just follow your nose and it'll take you right back to the boat.
19:52And take care of yourself, you silly kid.
19:54Take care of myself?
19:55I've been taking care of myself.
19:56Oh, Joe.
19:57What is it, kid?
19:58Tex just called from the lookout.
19:59He says the pass is clear.
20:01All right.
20:02Wind up number seven and put some coffee in it.
20:03Already did.
20:04So long, Bonnie.
20:05Have a nice trip.
20:06Hey, wait a minute.
20:07Gone up yourself?
20:08Sure.
20:09When will you be back?
20:10Next week.
20:11Two o'clock.
20:12What is it now?
20:14Just going to kiss you goodbye.
20:16There.
20:19What do you want me to say?
20:20Thank you?
20:22That's what you feel like saying.
20:25Let's try it again.
20:26I kind of like it.
20:29So long.
20:32Things certainly happen fast around here, kid.
20:35Uh-huh.
21:06You are listening to Orson Welles in the Campbell Playhouse presentation of Only Angels Have
21:15Wings with Joan Blondell.
21:17This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
21:46This is Ennis Chapel, ladies and gentlemen, welcoming you back to the Campbell Playhouse.
22:08In a moment, we shall resume our presentation of Only Angels Have Wings.
22:13But first, if you want to know what people eat, ask your grocer.
22:18I have a grocer friend I see quite a lot of.
22:20I like to check my ideas with him, so I'll get his ideas about the things I tell you from week to week.
22:26The other afternoon, I was chatting with him and I asked him, among other things, if he had noticed that more and more of his customers were giving up making soup at home.
22:36He nodded and pointed to the shelf where he keeps his Campbell soup.
22:40Every morning, he said, I'd stock that shelf full.
22:43Well, look at it now.
22:45That's the best answer I can give you.
22:47And you know, to me, that seemed a pretty good answer too.
22:51Now I'm wondering, perhaps you are drawing regularly on the Campbell soup shelf at your grocer's.
22:56Perhaps you're enjoying your favorite soup as Campbell's make them, fine-flavored, nourishing, really home-like soup.
23:04But if not, if you haven't yet turned your soup making over to Campbell's, won't you try them?
23:09I believe your family will enjoy them so keenly that, well, you'll decide then and there to let Campbell's make all your soups for you.
23:16Now we resume our Campbell Playhouse presentation of Only Angels Have Wings, starring Austin Wells and Joan Blondell.
23:24What are you doing, Jeff? Setting records?
23:29That was a pretty quick trip you made.
23:31Shut up, Jeff.
23:33I still say it was a pretty quick trip.
23:35What do you mean quick?
23:36Well, it wasn't slow.
23:38When you're in a ship, you go as fast as the ship. You ought to know that by now.
23:41Sure, and a ship's got to go as fast as you want it to. I know that too.
23:44All right, all right. Let's have a hot cup of coffee.
23:46Carlos, a hot, hot cup. What do you say? A prisa pronto.
23:49Ya, ya boy, ya boy.
23:50Have some, kid.
23:51Nope, I had already.
23:53But if you're looking for company for breakfast, that table right back at the post is...
23:57What do you mean, that table?
23:58Oh.
24:00What are you doing here?
24:01Having a breakfast.
24:03Is your boat still in?
24:05I don't see it from here.
24:07No, you don't.
24:08I guess not.
24:10Nothing.
24:12Happen to get left behind?
24:13No, I just...
24:15Yeah, well, go on.
24:16Well, I told a man to put my trunk on the dock.
24:18Why?
24:19Well, I couldn't stay over without having anything to wear now, could I?
24:23It's been done.
24:25That's funny.
24:26Here, by all rights, I ought to be sound asleep on that boat, far out to sea, and yet...
24:30She's not so far out to sea as you think, lady.
24:32What isn't?
24:33The boat. Hey, kid.
24:34Yeah?
24:35Get some more gas in number seven, call up Santa Maria and have them hold the boat till we get there.
24:39Where's your luggage?
24:41Over there.
24:42Good.
24:43Well, what are you waiting for, kid?
24:45That boat doesn't stop at Santa Maria this trip.
24:47Why not?
24:48They have no bananas.
24:49They have no bananas?
24:50Yes, they have no bananas.
24:51Look, mister, you don't have to bother about me.
24:53James, not me.
24:54I don't get burned twice in the same place.
24:56There's another boat leaving next week.
24:57I'll be on it.
24:58Good.
24:59I gotta get some sleep.
25:01See you later, kid.
25:03Well, Barney, if you're going to be here for a week, we better find some place for you to park.
25:08Thanks, kid.
25:09I don't need a parlor with a nice room with a bath.
25:12To tell you the truth, Barney, I know we ain't got a room with a bath.
25:15I hope I can find you one with a room.
25:25Hey, Dutchie.
25:26Dutchie.
25:27All right, all right.
25:28I'm only the owner.
25:29What is this?
25:30That's what I mean.
25:31You're behaving like a guest.
25:33Right, you gotta meet the southbound boat.
25:36It ain't polite to send less.
25:38We got that new flyer coming in.
25:40Go on, Dutchie, make him feel good.
25:42You know, go and meet him in person.
25:44You kind of get the idea you care, see what I mean?
25:46You sure you ain't just sending me down because I look comfortable?
25:49Yeah, that's one of the reasons.
25:50Oh.
25:51What's that new guy's name, Les?
25:53Bifield, eh?
25:54Yeah, that's it, Bifield.
25:56Well, who is he?
25:57What's the difference, Dutchie?
25:59As long as he can fly, we can't afford to be too fuzzy, don't we?
26:02Go on down and meet the boat, Dutchie.
26:04All right, all right.
26:05The owner should go.
26:06The owner should sweep out too, and the owner should make the drinks,
26:08and the owner should...
26:09Number seven calling Barranca.
26:11Number seven calling Barranca.
26:13Go ahead, Jed.
26:15Let me talk to Jeff, will you?
26:17Hello, Grandpa.
26:18Say, Jeff, you need an elevator to get down in this place.
26:22I told you nobody could set down that canyon, Jeff.
26:24It don't make sense.
26:25Makes sense if you do it.
26:26What's the matter, the wind bad?
26:27Bad?
26:28Have you ever set down in here, Jeff?
26:30Yeah, once.
26:33It's about as easy as getting a piano over a transom.
26:36Come on back if you can make it.
26:38Okay, I'm coming back.
26:41Well, well, here's the mail.
26:43Hello.
26:44Where's the new pilot?
26:45He's putting his things in his room.
26:47I'll give you a hand with those bags in a minute, Dutchie.
26:49All right, don't strain yourself.
26:51No, sir.
26:52Yes, sir.
26:53Quite all right, Dutchie, quite all right.
26:55The room all right, Mr. Bifield?
26:56It'll do.
26:57Well, it gets you acquainted around here.
27:00This is Mr. Bifield, our new flyer.
27:02Welcome to our fair city.
27:04That's Peter.
27:05How are you?
27:06Hello.
27:07Pete Shelton.
27:08How are you?
27:09How are you?
27:10Too early to buy a drink?
27:11Yeah, I guess not.
27:12Sit down.
27:13Where are you from?
27:14Mexico City.
27:15What kind of stuff are they using up there?
27:17Oh, some old fuckers and forbs.
27:19Oh, Jeff.
27:20Yeah?
27:21This is Mr. Bifield.
27:24Yeah.
27:26Glad to see you, Mr. Bifield.
27:28Well, gents, drinks?
27:30No, we won't be drinking with this guy.
27:32What's this all about?
27:33Your name isn't Bifield at all, fella.
27:36It's Ashton Stevens.
27:38Did you say Stevens, Jeff?
27:40That's what I said, Les.
27:42Bat Stevens?
27:43That's right.
27:44My name's Stevens.
27:45Bat Stevens.
27:46Well, what of it, Les?
27:47He's not the first guy that came down here under a different name.
27:49No, Pete, but he's the first pilot who will have bailed out of his plane and let his mechanic crash.
27:52Oh, that's the way you tell it.
27:53Yeah, that's the way I tell it, Stevens.
27:55Cut it out, Les.
27:57Stevens, did you know the kid was working down here?
28:00What?
28:01He is.
28:02No, no, I didn't know it.
28:03Look, Jeff, maybe you tell poor old Dutchie what this is all about.
28:06He doesn't know anything.
28:07What's the kid got to do with it?
28:08Nothing.
28:10Except that it was the kid's younger brother that was killed when this guy took to his parachute.
28:16What?
28:17I've had enough of this guy.
28:18Me too.
28:19Come on, Les, let's find another table.
28:20Right.
28:21Come on, Jeff.
28:22That's good enough for me.
28:23Oh, you're not so particular, huh?
28:25No.
28:27I don't, uh, think even you could spoil my breakfast.
28:31Thanks.
28:32I'm not used to these small favors.
28:34Sorry, I said it.
28:36I'm not used to being around people like you.
28:39As long as I got to talk to you, Stevens, here's a piece of news for you.
28:43That was the kid that come in on that ship just now.
28:45What?
28:46Jeff, what are we going to do?
28:47What are we going to do?
28:48Quiet, Dutchie.
28:51Better make yourself scarce, Stevens, because for your information, the kid carries a gun.
28:55Say, you're getting kind of careful of me all of a sudden.
28:57I'm not worrying about you.
28:58I just wouldn't like to have the kid, uh, doing it.
29:02I'd be kind of inconvenient for me right now if they slapped the kid in the hose.
29:06Well, I'll have to meet him sooner or later, won't I?
29:10Yeah, maybe you're right.
29:13Anyhow, it's your funeral.
29:15Might be too at that.
29:17Hello, everybody.
29:19Hello, kid.
29:20Whew, it's hot down here on the ground.
29:22Get me some cold water, Dutchie.
29:23Okay.
29:24Who's got a match?
29:25Hey, what's the matter?
29:27It's like walking in a graveyard.
29:28Oh, hello there.
29:29You the new guy?
29:31He's the new guy.
29:32Well, welcome to our city.
29:34Hello, kid.
29:35Hey, wait a minute.
29:36I know you.
29:37Yes, I think you do.
29:38Yeah, sure.
29:41Long time no see, Stevens.
29:43That's right.
29:44Get him.
29:45You need the kid.
29:46Okay, Jeff.
29:47Okay.
29:48You know what I think of you, don't you, Stevens?
29:49Let's go ahead.
29:50Two years ago, I'd have broken your neck.
29:52Well, there's nothing I can say, I guess.
29:54That's right.
29:55Just you keep out of my way.
29:57I might still do it.
29:58It's none of my business, Jeff, but I don't know why you're stopping me.
30:01You're right, Les.
30:02It's none of your business.
30:03You've got to believe me.
30:04I have no idea that he was telling you.
30:05There's nothing you can say that I'll believe, Stevens.
30:07As long as you fly where I tell you, all right.
30:10Jeff, you're not going to put this guy to work.
30:12You remember we was talking about things that were none of your business, Les?
30:16Now, wait a minute, Jeff.
30:17I'm not going to allow you to say that.
30:18Who's running this airline, Dutchie?
30:20You are.
30:23That's what I mean.
30:25Come on with me, Stevens.
30:28You do some pretty queer things, Stevens.
30:30Bifield.
30:31Bifield's the name.
30:33Yeah, Bifield.
30:34That's what I'm talking about.
30:37What made you think you could get away with coming down here?
30:38Let's get this over with.
30:39When does the next boat leave?
30:41Got enough dough for your passage?
30:43No.
30:45That's swell.
30:48I wonder if I could...
30:49Could what?
30:51Cram you down that throat of that bunch out there,
30:54and I wouldn't mind choking a few of them.
30:56Well, here it is.
30:57Every now and then we get a job around here
30:59that I wouldn't send a friend of mine out on, see?
31:03Wouldn't even go myself.
31:07Well, it looks like that might be a spot for you.
31:10Uh-huh.
31:11Kind of nice for me,
31:12having someone I can send out in any kind of weather,
31:15any kind of job,
31:16and only worry about the ship getting back.
31:18Yeah, some of those ships aren't worth much.
31:19Uh-huh.
31:20It's just this.
31:22Still want the job on those terms?
31:24I don't know any other way I'd want it.
31:26Hey, Jeff!
31:27Jeff!
31:28What is it?
31:29Well, there, look.
31:30Number eight with nitroglycerin.
31:31I know.
31:32Taking it to the oil fields on your way out.
31:34But, say, Jeff,
31:35don't we aren't supposed to find that stuff in the mail?
31:37I know we aren't, Dutchie.
31:38There's nothing in my contract
31:39that says I'll fly nitroglycerin.
31:41You're getting a buck and a half a mile for doing it.
31:43Not me.
31:44What?
31:45Jeff,
31:46I saw a guy blow a tire once.
31:48I was way down on the other end of the field,
31:50and it broke a bottle in my hip pocket.
31:53Give me a map, Pete.
31:54I will.
31:55If you're figuring on me flying nitroglycerin,
31:56you're...
31:57That's just exactly what I'm figuring.
31:59You took this job with the understanding that...
32:01You're kidding?
32:03Only nitroglycerin.
32:05You weren't kidding me, were you?
32:07I never kid people I don't like.
32:09Hey, Dutchie.
32:10Yeah?
32:11Figure out Pete's time.
32:13You're through, Pete.
32:14Say, what's the matter with you?
32:15Wait a minute, Jeff.
32:16You can't blame that boy.
32:17I'm not blaming him, but he's fired.
32:18That's all.
32:19Sorry, Pete.
32:20Jeff, I don't like the way you're playing.
32:21You'd better clear the field
32:22before Byfield takes off, Dutchie.
32:23It's nitro, you know.
32:24My goodness, Jeff,
32:25I didn't think of that at all.
32:27It'd be a little late to think of it
32:28after he hits the nitro.
32:39Do I love you?
32:41Do I?
32:42Do-da-do-da-da.
32:44Hey, don't come in.
32:45Don't come in.
32:46Who's that?
32:47Me.
32:48I'm taking a bath.
32:49This is my room.
32:50Take it my room if I could.
32:52Can't take a bath in a wash basin, you know.
32:54All right, hurry it up.
32:55I'm hurrying.
32:57What's that?
32:58What's what?
32:59All this cooking.
33:00That's coffee.
33:01Don't touch it.
33:02It's hot.
33:03You'll burn yourself.
33:04Boiling.
33:05Wait a minute.
33:06I told you so.
33:07Oh, let me see it.
33:09That is a burn.
33:10I'll put some butter on it.
33:11I don't want any butter on it.
33:12My grandmother always used to be better.
33:13You kid.
33:14I want you to take this coffee pot out of here.
33:17Oh, I thought you never did that.
33:19Did what?
33:20Get burned twice in the same place.
33:25Where do you keep those pictures?
33:27Pictures?
33:28What pictures?
33:29Those pictures of you when you were a baby.
33:31Yeah, we're right back where we started, aren't we, Bonnie?
33:33Oh, that was a million years ago.
33:35I know you a lot better now.
33:37Oh, hey.
33:38Oh, your foot.
33:39Ah, it's just on the floor.
33:40You little chump.
33:41Don't go walking around on it.
33:42Well, it didn't matter, was it?
33:43I just...
33:44Hey, let me put you down somewhere.
33:46Oh, I'm a brain.
33:47I just lost a heel off my slipper, that's all.
33:49Why'd you say so?
33:50Don't I have a darnedest luck losing one heel right after another?
33:53You're a queer duck, Bonnie.
33:55So are you.
33:56Hey, Bonnie.
33:59I want to ask you something, Bonnie.
34:01Go ahead.
34:03Do you want me to kiss you like this, carrying you,
34:06or do you want me to put you down on your feet first?
34:09Well, you can kiss me like this,
34:12and if you put me down, that way you'll get another chance.
34:16Thanks.
34:18You just got no vision, I guess.
34:22Jeff, you don't have to be afraid of me anymore.
34:25I'm not going to tie you down.
34:26I don't want to play.
34:27I don't want to look ahead.
34:28I don't want to change anything.
34:30I like it, Jeff.
34:31There's nothing I can do about it.
34:32I just love you, that's all.
34:34I feel the same way about you the kid does.
34:36Anything you do is all right with me.
34:38The kid?
34:39Yeah.
34:40He doesn't ask you for anything or get in your way
34:41or bother you, does he?
34:42He drives me nuts.
34:43Hey, Jeff.
34:44Oh, I'm, uh...
34:45Come in, kid.
34:46Well, the boys are ready to test those motors, Jeff.
34:49Okay, kid.
34:51Come on, Bonnie.
34:52You don't mean you're...
34:53There you go.
34:54I told you, Jeff.
34:55I'm a sucker for telling you this, Bonnie,
34:57and I'd go anyway,
34:58but right now it's more important than ever.
35:01Dutchie's got a test contract with the government
35:03that expires tonight.
35:04If we make this flight okay,
35:05everything is Jake's.
35:06If we don't, uh...
35:09Forget I explained it to you, will you, please?
35:11Okay, I'll forget, only...
35:13Only you won't.
35:14What a sap I am.
35:15That's something I'll remember.
35:16Oh, by the way, Bonnie,
35:17take a look through this box.
35:18Maybe you'll be able to find it.
35:19It's somewhere in there.
35:20What is?
35:21That baby picture we were talking about, see?
35:24He's kind of cute.
35:26I'm nude on a bare rug.
35:28I can't wait.
35:29And keep the coffee warm, will you?
35:44Well, that's that.
35:45The boat's in on time.
35:47This kind of a storm,
35:48I thought sure that she'd be a little...
35:50little bit late.
35:51Yeah, that'd be a lesson to your kid.
35:52Even you can be wrong.
35:53Calling lookout!
35:54Calling lookout!
35:56Calling lookout!
35:57Go ahead, Jeff.
35:58Stand by, Tex.
35:59The boat's in.
36:00Number four's taking off
36:01as soon as the mail gets up here.
36:02Jeff, you can't get through this, Tom.
36:04I don't expect you, Tex,
36:05gonna try to go over the top.
36:06That doesn't sound so good to me.
36:08Me either, only I ain't sounding it,
36:09I'm flying it.
36:10Okay, Jeff.
36:11Thanks for that ship, kid.
36:13All said, Jeff, can't do any more.
36:15I took out all the seats and stripped it clean.
36:17Well, cut out almost 400 pounds.
36:20You know, that's more than twice what I weigh.
36:22That's all you can do.
36:23Now look here, Jeff.
36:24I heard you the first time.
36:25You're not going, kid.
36:26Forget it.
36:27Forget it because I am.
36:28I'm not asking anybody
36:29to go on a night like this.
36:30You don't have to ask me.
36:31I'm not letting anybody else go but me either.
36:33I'll toss you a coin for it.
36:34Heads, I go.
36:35All right, we'll toss.
36:36Only heads, I go.
36:37Oh, let me have heads, will you, Jeff?
36:38No, heads, I go.
36:39But I'd rather have heads.
36:40I'm superstitious.
36:41Give me that coin.
36:42But, Jeff, I'm...
36:43Uh-huh.
36:45Oh.
36:47You're superstitious about heads, are you?
36:49Heads on both sides, that's all it is.
36:51Well, I...
36:52No wonder I've been buying you drinks all year.
36:54Well, what do you know about that?
36:56Dutchie, you went down to meet the ghost.
36:57Well, ask me, Mr. Carter.
36:58What have I got to do with it?
36:59You are running this airline, aren't you?
37:01Stay in the sky to pick up the mail, Jeff.
37:03Thanks, Bill.
37:04And for your information, Mr. Carter,
37:05I want to ask you a question.
37:07Don't you think you're crazy
37:08to try to fly in this kind of weather?
37:10Get the lights ready on the field, kid.
37:12Okay, Jeff.
37:13I've told you so many times that whatever...
37:15Oh, Jeff, whatever you do,
37:18don't think you have to do it for me.
37:21I know what it means,
37:23but I'd rather be broke.
37:25I don't care whether we get the contract or not.
37:28Understand?
37:29Don't strain yourself, Dutchie.
37:31I'm flying.
37:44While all you do is...
37:47Barney, I don't mind you using my room to take a bath once,
37:51but if you're starting in housekeeping...
37:53I thought you might want a little closet.
37:55Closet?
37:56Boy, don't have one.
37:57I put it there.
37:58Don't burn yourself again.
37:59Thanks.
38:00I won't.
38:01Anything else?
38:02No.
38:03Oh, have a nice trip, Jeff.
38:05Be seeing you next week.
38:07Two o'clock.
38:08Where are you going?
38:09Back to the States tonight.
38:11Hey, isn't that the outfit you came to shore in?
38:14How'd you remember that?
38:16I got systems for remembering things.
38:19Got a match?
38:20Don't you think it's about time you started carrying some?
38:22It's pretty late to begin getting new habits, isn't it?
38:24You never carry matches.
38:25No matter what anybody says to you, you never carry matches.
38:27What's wrong?
38:28You carry matches now and then, Jeff.
38:30What's all this?
38:31Oh.
38:33Oh, Jeff.
38:35I'm sorry to be so silly.
38:37I...
38:38I wanted to do this just the way you'd want me to,
38:40and I was all right after the time you had to get,
38:43and that's good enough.
38:44Yeah, you sure was.
38:47Say, uh...
38:49Barney?
38:52Barney?
38:54Are you sorry about anything?
38:56No.
38:58No, I'm not.
39:01So long, Barney.
39:03Aren't you going to kiss me?
39:05Sure.
39:06Oh, Jeff.
39:07I can't let you go.
39:09I love you too.
39:11Give me back my gun.
39:12No, I won't.
39:13You're crazy.
39:14Give me that gun.
39:15You're not going to go, Jeff.
39:16You're not going to stay here.
39:17Hey, put that down.
39:18I wanted to do this.
39:19Barney, you're just like all the rest.
39:20Jeff!
39:21Jeff!
39:23Go away, Barney.
39:24Go away.
39:27I didn't mean to.
39:28I just didn't want you to go.
39:29You don't aim good.
39:30All you got was my shoulder.
39:32Hey, what's going on here?
39:34Where's the first aid?
39:35Over in the corner.
39:36I'll take cover, Jeff.
39:37Well, send for a doctor, somebody.
39:39Who did it?
39:40I did.
39:41You?
39:42How did it happen?
39:43I didn't want him to go.
39:44Well, he's not going now.
39:45Now, Barney, put some water on the stove.
39:46What about the bullet, Les?
39:47It didn't come to us.
39:48It's still in there.
39:49But you're not going to do much flying with it.
39:51Hello, Bat.
39:52Hello.
39:53Hey, Bat, it's almost too much to ask of you, Bat.
39:56But I guess you have to do it.
39:59Yeah, I always arrive in time for good news.
40:02How are you going to get through all that stuff?
40:04Over the top, a new trimotor.
40:05Will she go that high?
40:07I'll see.
40:08You find out.
40:09I'll see if you find out.
40:11Do you want to take the kid with you?
40:12Anything you say, if it's ordered.
40:14Well, let me alone.
40:15Let me go alone.
40:16No, kid.
40:17You don't have to go by field.
40:18It's not that kind of a job.
40:20That's fair enough.
40:21I'll see you out on the field in five minutes, kid.
40:40What's our altitude, Stephen?
40:422,500.
40:43Don't you think we ought to get a radio check?
40:45Yeah, give me the mic.
40:49Calling Barranca.
40:50Calling Barranca.
40:52Go ahead, kid.
40:54Fire, Jeff.
40:55Radio check.
40:571, 2, 3, 4.
41:01Wait a minute, kid.
41:02Wait a minute.
41:03You're color tied again.
41:051, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
41:11That's better, but there's a lot of hash, kid.
41:14You may have to repeat everything.
41:16OK.
41:27Calling Barranca.
41:29Calling Barranca.
41:31We're 3,500.
41:333,500.
41:35Still on instrument.
41:37Still on instrument.
41:44Calling Barranca.
41:46Calling Barranca.
41:488,000.
41:508,000.
41:52On top first layer.
41:54On top first layer.
42:01Calling Barranca.
42:03Calling Barranca.
42:0614,000.
42:0814,000.
42:10Picking up a little ice.
42:12We're to climb 320.
42:14To climb 320.
42:23Calling Barranca.
42:25Calling Barranca.
42:2715,600.
42:3015,600.
42:33Near ceiling.
42:34Near ceiling.
42:41I don't think she'll take much more.
42:43Yeah, she's beginning to bust.
42:45Hold your hat.
42:47Here she goes.
42:49You all right, Steven?
42:51I'm all right.
42:52What do we got under her?
42:53We'll save the 6,000.
42:54We'll wait till the air gets heavier, then I'll take her off.
42:56Yeah.
42:57I never saw one of these things yet that could sail through the side of a mountain.
43:11I wonder what's wrong with the kid.
43:16There he is.
43:18Calling Barranca.
43:20Calling Barranca.
43:22Go ahead, kid.
43:24Jeff, we can't make it.
43:26Got almost 16,000 and the bottom came out.
43:29All right, come on back.
43:31Not a chance, Jeff.
43:33We're not coming back.
43:34We're going through the pass.
43:36Listen, kid.
43:37Tech says it's closed in tight.
43:39Turn around and come back.
43:40Those are orders.
43:41Do you hear me?
43:42No, thanks, Jeff.
43:44I order you.
43:45Well, I haven't heard you for the last five minutes.
43:48Signing off.
43:52Get Tech, Les.
43:54Tell him to look for them.
43:55Calling lookout.
43:56Calling lookout.
43:57Go ahead, Les.
43:58Watch for number four, Tex.
44:00They're going to try the pass.
44:01They can't make it.
44:02It's closed in thicker than glue.
44:10We're not going to make it, Stephen.
44:12Get in one of those chutes and jump.
44:14Is there any reason I can't stay with the ship, too?
44:16You don't have to.
44:18Which way is the pass from here?
44:2010 degrees north and 3,000 up.
44:22OK.
44:23To the left.
44:39Calling Barranca.
44:41Go ahead, Tex.
44:42They just went by here throttled down and feeling their way.
44:45I tried to talk to them, but they wouldn't answer.
44:47Keep trying.
44:48OK.
44:56How you coming, Stephen?
44:57OK, only I don't like these big birds around here.
45:00Oh, and the pass is full of them this time of year.
45:02Condors.
45:03Hit one, she goes right through the windshield.
45:05I don't like them.
45:07It's tough enough not knowing your direction without...
45:09Oh!
45:12Are you all right, kid?
45:13Are you all right?
45:14Yeah.
45:15Get out quick.
45:16Jump.
45:17Oh, I must have broken my...
45:18I can't move.
45:19You'll jump yourself.
45:20Oh, not this time.
45:21We'll get barrels.
45:22Go on.
45:23Jump, you fool.
45:24I made my last jump.
45:25We're turning back.
45:27And we're making it.
45:28If we can...
45:29Oh, if I could only move, I'd pick you up and...
45:32Hey, we're burning!
45:34Yeah.
45:35We've been burning for over a minute.
45:48Call in Baranca.
45:49Call in Baranca.
45:50Call in Baranca.
45:52Go ahead, Jack.
45:53Jeff.
45:54Jeff, number four is on fire.
45:55Left outboard nose motor.
45:57They're headed back to you, and I don't think they can make it.
45:59Out on the field, everybody.
46:02Trucking that outside set.
46:04Listen, kid.
46:06Yeah, their receiver's no good at that burner, Jeff.
46:08Kid.
46:09Call in number four.
46:11Call in number four.
46:13Look, Jeff.
46:14There they are.
46:15There's a big torch.
46:16I want to get harder.
46:17They'll never get it down.
46:18Kid.
46:19Stevens.
46:20Number four.
46:21Jump.
46:22Stay low.
46:27Come on in, buddy.
46:28Come on.
46:32Go on this way.
46:35Get him, Adam.
46:36Come on, now.
46:37You all right, Stevens?
46:38I'm all right.
46:39But the kid's hurt pretty bad.
46:42Take him over there, boy.
46:43Okay, easy now.
46:44Come on.
46:45He's hurt bad.
46:47Take the kid inside, boys.
46:49What's this?
46:51Huh?
46:52Just a...
46:53pat on the shoulder.
46:58Come on.
47:18I'm all right, I tell you.
47:20If this doctor had only quit...
47:22Oh, Jeff.
47:23Tell this guy to quit fussing with me, will you?
47:26I'm all right.
47:28I found a...
47:31Oh, Jeff.
47:32Jeff, give us a cigarette, will you?
47:35Yeah.
47:37How's the...
47:38How's the other guy?
47:39Hands burned.
47:40One side of his face is off.
47:42Stevens...
47:43Stevens is all right, Jeff.
47:46He could have jumped, but he didn't.
47:47Even after we was burning.
47:49He just sat there and took it like it was an ice cream soda.
47:53So, Jeff.
47:54Buy him a drink for me, will you?
47:56Sure.
47:57I'll buy him a drink.
47:58Oh, God.
47:59You know, if it hadn't been for those birds, we'd have made it.
48:02Sure you would.
48:03Yeah.
48:05You know, I might design a windshield at an angle.
48:08Then they'd bounce off.
48:10Not a bad idea.
48:12I'll make you a present off it, Jeff.
48:15When I get on my feet, we'll work it out.
48:18Or will we?
48:22Your neck's broken, kid.
48:24Hmm?
48:27No wonder I couldn't feel anything.
48:31Well, I guess this is it, huh?
48:34There's always a chance.
48:36Sure.
48:38Hey, Jeff.
48:39Don't let anybody else in here, huh?
48:43Whatever you say.
48:44Oh, you see, I don't want them to see me.
48:47I'm not afraid, Jeff.
48:49I ain't scared, but I...
48:51I don't want anyone else to see me.
48:54Sure, I know.
48:57I know.
49:01It's like...
49:02It's like doing anything new.
49:05It's just like my first solo.
49:08I didn't want anybody watching me then, either.
49:10You see, Jeff...
49:12See, Jeff, I...
49:13I don't know how good I'll be at this, but...
49:17You want me to go, too, kid?
49:19Well, Jeff, I...
49:21I'd sure hate to pull a bone in front of you.
49:23Oh, I know.
49:26I'll go.
49:30So long, kid.
49:32So long, Jeff.
49:35Hey, Jeff.
49:38Jeff, I...
49:39I think I'm gonna take it fine.
49:42Yeah, I think you're gonna be proud of me, Jeff.
49:45Call in.
49:46Lookout, calling lookout.
49:48Go ahead, Jeff.
49:49I mean, on the minute it clears, text.
49:50We're all set to go down here.
49:51What about the kid, Jeff?
49:53Broke his neck.
49:54Took off a few minutes ago.
49:56Oh.
49:57Now, hello, Pete.
49:58I took care of everything on the field.
50:00Thanks.
50:01Give me a drink, will you, Dutchie?
50:02Yeah, you better make me one, too, Dutchie.
50:05What is it, Stephen?
50:06Somebody said you wanted to see me.
50:08Yeah, they, uh...
50:10They said you wanted to see me.
50:12Yeah, the, uh...
50:14Kid asked me to buy a drink.
50:15Oh, thanks.
50:17Hey, Dutchie, put it over on the table here, will you?
50:19Oh, wait a minute.
50:20What's it now?
50:21Why not have it with us?
50:22Sure.
50:23Why not?
50:24Have a cigarette, Stephen.
50:25Hey, how are the hands coming?
50:27Well, not bad.
50:28Here's your drink.
50:30Careful with those hands.
50:31You got it?
50:32I'm all right.
50:33Well, here's how.
50:35Here's to you, bat.
50:36Here's to you, bat.
50:38Thanks.
50:43Well, so long, Les.
50:46You going, Bonnie?
50:47Nobody asked me to stay.
50:49Well, aren't you going to say goodbye to Jeff?
50:51Why?
50:52Well, I think you ought to.
50:54You do?
50:55Yeah, I think he'd want you to.
50:57You sure?
50:58He might not act like it, but I think he would.
51:02Well, if you think I ought to...
51:04Yeah, I think you should.
51:06I don't mind doing it, if you say so.
51:08Yeah, I think you should.
51:10I don't mind doing it, if you say so.
51:12Yeah, I do say so.
51:13You do?
51:14Well, I guess I better go ahead and do it then.
51:23Hello, Bonnie.
51:24I, uh, I thought I ought to...
51:27Well, Les said that he thought that before I go, I'd better...
51:32Gee, I don't know what to say.
51:34Don't say anything, then.
51:35Well, uh, all I wanted to say is that...
51:38Well, he said that you'd like it, but I don't know.
51:43I know.
51:45You want me to carry matches from now on.
51:49Well, Bonnie, I make you a promise.
51:53I'll carry matches all the time.
51:57All the time.
51:59Jeff, you're crying.
52:00You're crazy.
52:01You're crying, Jeff.
52:02Oh, please don't.
52:04I'd never be able to...
52:05You'll never be able to what, Bonnie?
52:06I'd never be able to say it.
52:07Say what?
52:08I was gonna say goodbye.
52:09Well?
52:10Jeff, do you want me to stay or don't you?
52:13Well, Bonnie...
52:14Call in Baranca.
52:15Call in Baranca.
52:17Say, what's the matter down there?
52:19Call in Baranca.
52:21Go ahead, Beck.
52:22Say, Jeff, the storm's breaking up.
52:24Yeah?
52:25The wind's dropping down to a whisper.
52:26Okay, how's the patch?
52:27Clearing up faster than a cat can lick up cream.
52:29Okay, Les.
52:30Yeah, what is it, Jeff?
52:31Why'd I never say I'm in the patch of clearance?
52:32The moon's breaking through.
52:33Yeah?
52:34That's gonna be okay.
52:35Here she comes.
52:36She's shining harder than $700.
52:38Yeah?
52:39On your way, Jeff.
52:40Well, Dutchie, what do you say to that?
52:41What can I say?
52:42Nobody cares what...
52:43The patch is clearing.
52:44We just got time to make it.
52:45Well, who's going to fly it?
52:46I've got one good arm, haven't I?
52:47Dutchie, your contact's as good as in the bag.
52:49Come on, Jeff.
52:50So long, Bonnie.
52:51Keep that coffee warm.
52:52I'll be back for breakfast.
52:53I won't be here.
52:54I'm going on the boat.
52:55What?
52:56Nobody asked me to stay.
52:57Oh, they haven't?
52:58No.
52:59You wouldn't ask anybody to do anything, would you?
53:01That's right.
53:02Here, we'll flip a coin.
53:03Tails, you go.
53:04Heads, you stay.
53:05It's heads.
53:06Hey, you're not going to renege on this, are you?
53:08It was the kid's coin.
53:09I won't stay that way.
53:10You won't?
53:11It's got heads on both sides.
53:12No, I got the...
53:13What?
53:14Oh, Jeff.
53:16That's better.
53:17Well, aren't you going to kiss me?
53:21When I get back.
53:22Yeah, but maybe if I was to kiss you now, I wouldn't...
53:25Yeah.
53:27When I get back, Bonnie.
53:30I guess it'll always be like that.
53:32When you get back.
53:44I've been listening to Orson Welles in the Campbell Playhouse presentation of
53:47Only Angels Have Wings with Joan Blondell.
53:50Mr. Welles will be back with us in just a moment.
53:53And in that moment, something of moment,
53:55particularly to the men among our listeners.
53:58Let me ask you.
53:59Doesn't old-fashioned vegetable soup fit in with your idea of a hearty good eating?
54:04Picture a piping hot plateful of Campbell's vegetable soup at your place at the table.
54:09Its inviting look and the rich aroma in the curling steam sharpen your appetite.
54:14You dip in and bring up brimming spoonfuls of the deep-flavored beef stock
54:18and tender, luscious garden vegetables.
54:21And as spoonfuls follow spoonfuls,
54:23you continue to enjoy this vegetable soup of Campbell's down to the very last.
54:28Now tell me, isn't that a picture that appeals to you?
54:31Then don't you want to remind your wife to have Campbell's vegetable soup at supper tomorrow?
54:37And now, Orson Welles.
54:43Ladies and gentlemen,
54:45it gives me great pleasure to introduce Miss Joan Blondell.
54:48Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you, Orson Welles.
54:50It is, ladies and gentlemen, with a slight feeling of presumption
54:53that I venture to introduce Miss Blondell this evening
54:56because, as you know, Miss Blondell, in private life,
54:59is the wife of Dick Powell,
55:01who was Master of Ceremonies on this very program for many months.
55:05That's right. That's when Dick and I were married.
55:07Yes. Well, we all not only happily remember Dick,
55:10but also your own appearances on the program.
55:12And while I'm about it, let me thank you for your distinguished performance tonight, Joan.
55:16I'm always delighted to appear here.
55:18It must be a lot like coming home,
55:20what with Dick having been a Master of Ceremonies for Campbell's
55:22and you having been a guest star for Campbell's.
55:24Say nothing of the two children eating Campbell's soup every day.
55:26Campbell's soup. Isn't that nice of you? Thank you.
55:27Don't forget that.
55:28I'm not likely to.
55:29You've certainly earned the right to regard yourself, Joan,
55:31as being one of the most important members of the Campbell's soup family.
55:34Right. I'm very proud of it.
55:35We're very glad you are.
55:36And thank you again, Joan Blondell.
55:38Please, please come back to us very soon again.
55:44Miss Blondell, of course.
55:46Miss Bonnie Lee.
55:48Here's the cast.
55:49Regis Toomey was the kid.
55:52Mr. Toomey's most recent picture, incidentally, is Northwest Passage,
55:56which he gives a distinguished performance as Mr. Webster.
55:59Edmund MacDonald as Matt Peters.
56:02Edgar Berrier, known to all Mercury fans,
56:06is Ashton Batt, Stephen Bailey, Ernest Byfield, George Kalouris.
56:10Another pillar, played Dutchie.
56:13William Allen as Joe Salfer.
56:15Richard Baer-Tex, the voice on the talkback.
56:18Richard Wilson as Pete, the piano player.
56:20And special hot piano effects were the responsibility of Mr. Ivan Bitmar,
56:24who was conducted and in part composed by his maestro, Bernard Herrmann.
56:30Fabius and Carlos Rufino were the Spanish singers.
56:33And Jeff Carter was your obedient servant.
56:37And now, as to next week.
56:39There's been, in recent years, a pleasing revival of public interest
56:42in the field of fiction for stories dealing with our beginnings as a nation.
56:45Usually the most distinguished worker in this field is Kenneth Roberts,
56:48whose series of early American novels has become a bestseller.
56:50High among these.
56:51Along with his Northwest Package.
56:53His Rabble in Arms.
56:55A fascinating chronicle of General Burgoyne's defeat at Saratoga
56:58by the desperate revolutionists under the inspiring leadership of a beloved officer,
57:02later to become even better known in American history as Benedict Arnold.
57:09Our guest star we're pleased to announce is Frances Dee,
57:12happily remembered for her performance a few weeks ago in Common Debit.
57:15She'll be with us again.
57:17As she promised.
57:18And so until then,
57:20until next Sunday in Rabble in Arms,
57:22my sponsors, the makers of Campbell Fruits,
57:25and all of us here in the Campbell Playhouse remain,
57:28as always,
57:29obediently yours.
57:47The makers of Campbell Soup join Orson Welles in inviting you to be with us
57:56in the Campbell Playhouse again next Sunday evening
57:59when we present Kenneth Roberts' Rabble in Arms.
58:02And as our guest star in Rabble in Arms,
58:04you will hear Miss Frances Dee.
58:06In the meantime, if you've enjoyed tonight's Playhouse presentation,
58:09won't you tell your grocer so tomorrow when you order Campbell's Vegetable Soup?
58:14This is Ernest Chappell saying thank you and good night.
58:20This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
