00:07:00Gendarme.
00:07:02Sergeant.
00:07:03Inspector.
00:07:05We're English.
00:07:06He's been fined 500,000 francs.
00:07:09And English people in Paris don't have 500,000 francs.
00:07:12Now, if you'd just let me phone my father, he'll fix the whole thing.
00:07:16But it is against regulations, mademoiselle.
00:07:18You can reverse the charges.
00:07:19But, mademoiselle.
00:07:20Please.
00:07:21Will you?
00:07:22Very well, mademoiselle.
00:07:24You're a jolly gentlemanly gendarme.
00:07:26Inspector, you wouldn't mind putting the call through for me, would you?
00:07:29I knew you wouldn't.
00:07:33Hello.
00:07:34Qu'est-ce que c'est?
00:07:35Nothing to say, thank you.
00:07:36The name is Bentley.
00:07:37John Bentley.
00:07:41Psst.
00:07:42Marksy.
00:07:43Yes.
00:07:44It's all right, darling.
00:07:45I phoned mummy.
00:07:46She said daddy will fix everything.
00:07:47Including a 500,000 francs fine?
00:07:48Of course.
00:07:49He's a dear.
00:07:50Well, he must be.
00:07:51Only, I'll have to go and get the money out of him myself.
00:07:53And mummy thinks it's a good idea if we stay with them for a bit.
00:07:56The Acacia Avenue, Wimbledon.
00:07:58I'd rather stay here.
00:08:05If you had to get a carbuncle, why there?
00:08:07You can't pick and choose carbuncles, honey.
00:08:10Well, this has certainly brought things to a head.
00:08:12Oh, I sure hope so.
00:08:14He's safe and safe for a trip back home to England.
00:08:17Don't tell mummy and daddy a thing about it.
00:08:19Keep it as a wonderful surprise.
00:08:20And now this.
00:08:21You really think I'll be a surprise to your folks, honey?
00:08:24I'm positive.
00:08:25I told them you work with horses.
00:08:26They think you're a vet.
00:08:27A horse doctor.
00:08:29We spend every cent of our money on the passage home.
00:08:31And now just because of Barnaby's barnacle, we're out of a job.
00:08:35How are we going to get from here to New York?
00:08:36I don't know, honey.
00:08:37The only thing I do know is I ain't riding.
00:08:42Okay, Flash.
00:08:43It wasn't your fault.
00:08:45Well, this is the last thing I wanted to do, but it'll have to be done.
00:08:48What's that, honey?
00:08:49Cable daddy for money.
00:08:50Would be an expensive address.
00:08:52Knocks us back five dollars before we've even started.
00:08:54What does, honey?
00:08:55The C does.
00:08:5638 Acacia Avenue, Wimbledon, England.
00:09:00Morning, Stella.
00:09:01Morning, Linda.
00:09:02Eat your prunes, dear.
00:09:04Shut up, you.
00:09:06Well now, what have we here, hmm?
00:09:09Octopus.
00:09:11I beg your pardon?
00:09:12John, dear, every morning for the past 18 years,
00:09:14since I left the stage to become the second Mrs. John Bentley,
00:09:17you have lifted up the lid of that dish and said,
00:09:19well now, what do we here, hmm?
00:09:22Every morning for the past 18 years,
00:09:24it has either been egg, sausage,
00:09:26or on comparatively rare occasions, haddock.
00:09:29I should have thought the element of surprise would have worn off by now.
00:09:33Hello, who's that ghastly character?
00:09:35He's not a ghastly character.
00:09:38It's Bobby Denver.
00:09:39Is that the fellow who bashed in his grandmother's brains with a meat axe?
00:09:43Oh!
00:09:47Is anything wrong, dear?
00:09:49No, no, no, nothing wrong.
00:09:51It's only Corin and that cowboy husband of hers.
00:09:54Has he worn on to his horse?
00:09:56On the contrary, he can't get on his horse. He has a boil.
00:09:58Boil? Where?
00:09:59Dallas, Texas.
00:10:01He's out of a job and will I send them $500?
00:10:04$500!
00:10:05You see, that's roughly 190 pounds at the current rate of exchange.
00:10:09They've already been married two months.
00:10:11Is this to go on their entire married life?
00:10:13No, of course not, dear.
00:10:14Oh, I'm not so sure.
00:10:15Man's obviously toxic,
00:10:17liable to get carbuncles on his...
00:10:19Well, he has this one every other month.
00:10:21Oh, no, dear, I remember reading.
00:10:23They never strike in the same place twice.
00:10:25You know, I knew it was a mistake, Corin marrying that fellow.
00:10:28Oh, thank heavens, Patricia's got herself a nice, steady, reliable...
00:10:32John, dear, I rather wanted to talk to you about...
00:10:33Oh, gosh, is that the time?
00:10:37You know, why all the clocks in this house have to be at sixes and sevens at eight in the morning,
00:10:41I have no idea.
00:10:44Sorry, Musker.
00:10:46Really, I should have thought that by this time it was a well-established fact
00:10:50that I leave this house every morning at 8.30.
00:10:52I know, dear.
00:10:53In order to catch the bus which passes the corner of Acacia Avenue at 8.34.
00:10:56Yes, dear.
00:10:57Connecting with the train to town, leaving Ribbleton Station at 8.48.
00:11:00Yes, dear.
00:11:01What time will you be back?
00:11:026.57.
00:11:03Good morning.
00:11:04Why, no problem.
00:11:17Oh, Mr. Bentley.
00:11:18Good morning.
00:11:19Mr. Bentley, you know I'm not one to complain,
00:11:21but it's the overflow from your system.
00:11:24Oh, what's the matter with it?
00:11:25I think it's the ball cock.
00:11:27I suspect that it needs adjusting.
00:11:29Oh, well, I haven't seen to it, certainly.
00:11:31Oh, that's very kind of you, Mr. Bentley.
00:11:33It really is most annoying.
00:11:35It goes gurgle, gurgle, gurgle all night long.
00:11:38Well, how do you expect it to go?
00:11:39Ten tippy, ten tippy, ten tippy, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle.
00:11:43How do you expect it to go?
00:11:44Ten tippy, ten tippy, ten tippy.
00:11:46Good morning.
00:11:51I love the morning.
00:11:54I love the morning.
00:11:57Hey!
00:11:58Hey!
00:11:59Hey, wait a minute!
00:12:04Thank you, I have never in my life seen such a wonderful...
00:12:09Would you care to take my seat?
00:12:14Oh, thank you very much.
00:12:30Oh, pardon, madam.
00:12:32Won't you have my seat?
00:12:39Pardon me, madam.
00:12:40Won't you help me?
00:12:41Excuse me.
00:12:43Won't you help me?
00:12:54How did you get on last night, mate?
00:12:55Oh, it was all right.
00:12:56But, you know, I had to wait two hours outside the stage door before he came out.
00:13:00Oh, and the crush when he did.
00:13:02It was worse than a spring sail at sea and air.
00:13:04Did you get it?
00:13:05Oh, yes.
00:13:06But the struggle, I had to get it off him.
00:13:08But look, Billy Daniels' bow tie.
00:13:11Oh, you are lucky.
00:13:12I'll tell you what, Kay.
00:13:13I'll swap it with you for two of Frankie Lane's buttons.
00:13:17Mrs. Prendergast, kindly stop dithering.
00:13:19If you have anything to say, please, just say it.
00:13:21It's very urgent.
00:13:22You know, we have an extremely busy day ahead of us.
00:13:24I have a great deal to do before the market opens.
00:13:26So, if you wish to consult me about anything of a personal nature, kindly do so later.
00:13:30Something's happened to your daughter.
00:13:32Well, I can't be made responsible for every...
00:13:35Mrs. Bentley telephoned.
00:13:37Will you return at once?
00:13:38Well, why didn't you say so at once instead of dithering?
00:13:40Look, you'd better phone Mrs. Bentley at once.
00:13:42Tell her I'm leaving the office right away.
00:13:44And I expect to catch the bus arriving at the corner of Acacia Avenue at 10.21.
00:13:47Now, don't forget.
00:13:54What's the matter with Gwen?
00:13:55Nothing serious, is it?
00:13:56Oh, it isn't Gwen, dear.
00:13:57It's Pat.
00:13:58Pat? Why? Is she ill?
00:13:59No, dear.
00:14:00Left her husband?
00:14:01No, dear.
00:14:02Is she unhappy?
00:14:03No, dear.
00:14:04Does she want anything?
00:14:05Yes, dear.
00:14:06How much?
00:14:07500 pounds.
00:14:08She might have married a man who knocked her about.
00:14:10Oh, I see.
00:14:11So I'm supposed to regard my daughter's marriage as highly successful...
00:14:15...merely because she hasn't got a black eye.
00:14:19Good heavens, have you been shipwrecked?
00:14:20Oh, John, dear, that's not a very nice work.
00:14:22But why is she dressed like a morbid fisherman?
00:14:24Because Peter, her husband, is an existentialist, dear.
00:14:26They have a flat on the boulevard Saint-Germain.
00:14:28And on the boulevard Saint-Germain, all existentialists dress like morbid fishermen.
00:14:32Really, I thought everybody knew that.
00:14:34How do you know?
00:14:35Pat just told me.
00:14:36Pat just told me.
00:14:37John, dear, aren't you going to kiss your daughter?
00:14:42Put that down at once.
00:14:43Now then, how did you get that black eye?
00:14:45A French aristocrat hit her with a bottle.
00:14:47Oh, well, I'm happy to know she's meeting some nice people.
00:14:49Now, look here.
00:14:50If this ghastly husband of yours is in financial difficulty...
00:14:53...why couldn't he have had the guts to come and ask me for that money himself?
00:14:56He couldn't get away, dear.
00:14:57Oh, nonsense.
00:14:58He could have telephoned.
00:14:59At the moment, he doesn't happen to be on the telephone.
00:15:01Well, all right.
00:15:02He could have written and sent a telegram in honour.
00:15:03He obviously prefers to be gallivanting about in Paris.
00:15:06He isn't gallivanting about in Paris.
00:15:07He's in prison.
00:15:08What?
00:15:09John, dear, do take things calmly.
00:15:10We don't want you to have a stroke.
00:15:11This is no time to discuss my blood pressure.
00:15:13I thought you told me Pat's husband was an established playwright.
00:15:16He is, dear.
00:15:17It's just that he hasn't been established long enough.
00:15:19He's 50 years ahead of his time.
00:15:20But not, I gather, with the rent.
00:15:22I might have known.
00:15:24You don't like Peter.
00:15:25You don't appreciate his hidden talents.
00:15:27I'm a stockbroker, not a Geiger counter.
00:15:29You couldn't appreciate him any more than you could appreciate a symphony by Picasso.
00:15:32Or a painting by Puccini.
00:15:34Or anything that hasn't anything to do with your money-grabbing old stock exchange.
00:15:38I suppose you think it's ridiculous that Peter doesn't paint his pictures for money.
00:15:41Not at all.
00:15:42As long as I keep my health and strength, why should he?
00:15:45I'll never forgive you for that.
00:15:46As long as I live.
00:15:47Never.
00:15:48Never.
00:15:49Never.
00:15:50Darling.
00:15:54Pleasant little interlude.
00:15:56Quite like old times, wasn't it?
00:15:58Oh, have a whiskey.
00:15:59No, thanks.
00:16:00Yes, please.
00:16:01Who could have believed it possible?
00:16:03My two daughters married to penniless husbands whom I've never even met.
00:16:07Well, you know perfectly well Corin was too scared to bring Barnaby here.
00:16:10And Pat had to signal from the window to Peter to let him know whether you were in or out.
00:16:14Can you wonder they slipped away to get married?
00:16:16Oh, I see.
00:16:17All my fault, eh?
00:16:18The father was always to blame.
00:16:20Give the children money, you spoil them.
00:16:21Give them no money, you handicap them.
00:16:23Expect much from them, you set too high a standard.
00:16:25Expect nothing, and you give them an inferiority complex.
00:16:28There is no answer.
00:16:29Of course there is, dear.
00:16:30As long as they're happy.
00:16:32Nonsense.
00:16:33Any monkey with a bomb tied to his tail can be happy.
00:16:35Until it goes off.
00:16:36Oh, well, anyway, thank goodness Gwen's only 16.
00:16:39There's no immediate danger of any man coming into her life.
00:16:56Are you sure this is the right address?
00:16:58Number 38, sir.
00:17:02Maybe this is Bobby Denver!
00:17:06Bobby Denver!
00:17:07What?
00:17:08Bobby Denver!
00:17:13Bobby Denver!
00:17:15Bobby Denver!
00:17:16Bobby Denver!
00:17:17Bobby Denver!
00:17:18Bobby Denver!
00:17:19Bobby Denver!
00:17:20It is Bobby Denver!
00:17:22Bobby Denver!
00:17:24It is Bobby Denver!
00:17:33Let me free!
00:17:34Please let me free!
00:17:35Come away!
00:17:36I want to see him!
00:17:37Let me free!
00:17:38Come away at once!
00:17:39Let me free!
00:17:40No!
00:17:41Somebody help me!
00:17:45Let me free!
00:17:46Bobby!
00:17:48If you please, sir, it's Bobby Denver!
00:17:50Who?
00:17:51Inspector, the crime crooner.
00:17:52Don't be ridiculous.
00:17:53Why should...
00:17:56It must be Bobby Denver.
00:18:00Has everyone gone stark, staring, raving mad this morning?
00:18:04Excuse me.
00:18:09Bobby!
00:18:10Bobby!
00:18:11Bobby!
00:18:12Bobby!
00:18:13Bobby!
00:18:17Frank?
00:18:18I was a second lieutenant in the pay corps.
00:18:20What's that got to do with it?
00:18:21Better put these in water.
00:18:22My calciliaria multiflora.
00:18:24Never mind about your health.
00:18:25It's your garden I'm worrying about.
00:18:26It's in a terrible condition.
00:18:28Now look here, Mr. Rank.
00:18:29I am not Rank.
00:18:30Honestly.
00:18:31My name is Bentley.
00:18:32John Bentley.
00:18:33I'm a stockbroker in the city.
00:18:34Who are you?
00:18:35Bobby.
00:18:36Bobby, darling.
00:18:37Would you hold these for a minute, please?
00:18:39Hello.
00:18:40Do you know this person?
00:18:42Of course.
00:18:43Everybody does.
00:18:44He's the most wonderful man in the world.
00:18:45He tugs at the heartstrings.
00:18:47He's been tugging at my calciliaria.
00:18:49So careful.
00:18:53What do you think you're doing?
00:18:54Get out of it.
00:18:55Go away.
00:18:56Shoot, shoot, shoot.
00:18:57You're going to be awfully angry with me.
00:18:58Why?
00:18:59I pretended to be J. Arthur Rank's secretary.
00:19:01Just to hear you speaking, really.
00:19:03I never thought you'd come.
00:19:05What?
00:19:06You realize I'm in love with you?
00:19:07Gwendolyn, go to your bedroom.
00:19:08If your mother heard you.
00:19:09Bobby, darling.
00:19:10Hello.
00:19:11Are you Mr. Rank's secretary's mother?
00:19:15A little present for you.
00:19:16Flowers?
00:19:17Oh, and so fresh.
00:19:19Mr. Denver, I feel there has been some extraordinary mistake.
00:19:22I'm extremely sorry.
00:19:23Good morning.
00:19:28Hey, darling.
00:19:38Hello, gorgeous.
00:19:39Hello, gorgeous.
00:19:47Mr. Bentley, do you know what he called me?
00:19:50Gorgeous.
00:19:52Linda.
00:19:53Linda.
00:19:55Oh, gosh.
00:19:56You're going to make a habit of this.
00:19:57You'll have to start slipping.
00:19:58You can't go on like this.
00:20:01Come on.
00:20:02Snap out of it.
00:20:03You're all right there.
00:20:04You look lovely.
00:20:06Come on.
00:20:10What are you laughing at?
00:20:15I lost my braces.
00:20:17Tell on.
00:20:18Don't be silly, dear.
00:20:19He had all his buttons torn off.
00:20:20Not saying so much for him.
00:20:22I'm threading the needle.
00:20:26Oh, from one of my fans.
00:20:27Mr. Denver, apparently you have some extraordinary effect over women.
00:20:31For all my wife cares, I can go around minus all my buttons for months.
00:20:35My youngest daughter appears to be so infatuated by you that...
00:20:38It's not infatuation.
00:20:40I'm in love with him.
00:20:42Don't be ridiculous.
00:20:43He's nearly as old as I am.
00:20:44You're only 16.
00:20:46Juliet was only 14 when she fell in love with Romeo.
00:20:49They were foreigners.
00:20:51What's that?
00:20:52My microphone.
00:20:53I always carry it around in case anyone asks me to sing.
00:20:55Nobody's going to ask you to sing in this house, huh?
00:20:57Oh, John, I'd love him to.
00:20:59Oh, Bobby, please do.
00:21:01Well, if you insist.
00:21:02Would you mind plugging this in, please?
00:21:04John?
00:21:05Oh, very well.
00:21:09That's fine.
00:21:10Shows that it's working.
00:21:12Would you mind saying a few words into this, please?
00:21:16Sing, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
00:21:18I fell in love with you the first time I heard you sing that.
00:21:21I've been in love with you ever since.
00:21:23Gwendolyn?
00:21:24I don't know whether to laugh or to cry over you.
00:21:35I don't know whether I ought to be joyful or blue.
00:21:46To my heart I say, this is your lucky day.
00:21:53Be happy, relax, you are free.
00:22:00It's time that you awoke.
00:22:02It was all a funny joke.
00:22:06But I guess the joke is on me.
00:22:13Oh, you were just acting.
00:22:17And now you are taking your bow.
00:22:25Comedy, tragedy.
00:22:28What shall we call it now?
00:22:35It's driving me crazy.
00:22:40What shall I do?
00:22:43Everything's hazy.
00:22:46I wish I knew.
00:22:54I don't know whether to laugh or to cry over you.
00:23:17Well, who are you?
00:23:19She's one of my stepdaughters.
00:23:21She does come back from Paris.
00:23:23You've been doing the dress shows, I see.
00:23:25I have not been doing the dress shows. I'm an existentialist.
00:23:28Well, you can't be. A pretty kid like you?
00:23:31You can't even pronounce it.
00:23:33Did you call me pretty?
00:23:35Why, sure.
00:23:36Hasn't your boyfriend ever told you you're pretty?
00:23:38I haven't got a boyfriend.
00:23:39That's bad.
00:23:40I've got a husband.
00:23:41That's worse.
00:23:42He's in jail.
00:23:43That's better.
00:23:45Never mind her.
00:23:46She's happily married.
00:23:48Bobby, darling, you cried real tears.
00:23:50Oh, I do love you so.
00:23:52Gwendolyn, upstairs.
00:23:54You can't talk to me like that.
00:23:55I'm not a child any longer.
00:23:57To your bedroom.
00:23:58You better do as the old man says.
00:23:59What was that you called me?
00:24:01You do as you're told.
00:24:02Now fix your seats for my first night at the Hippodrome.
00:24:04Seats for the whole family.
00:24:09I used to be one of the family rather like this.
00:24:11They were a bit screwy, too.
00:24:12Oh, but nice.
00:24:13They never got over my becoming a crooner.
00:24:15My parents almost died of the shock.
00:24:17The rest of the family emigrated to Australia.
00:24:19You'll come, won't you, to my first night?
00:24:21I'd love to.
00:24:22Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:24:23Gwendolyn, if you don't go to your room this instant,
00:24:25I shall put you across my knee
00:24:27and give you the soundest thrashing you've ever had in your life.
00:24:29How dare you.
00:24:31You've insulted me in front of him.
00:24:33I'll never forgive you for that.
00:24:35Never.
00:24:36Never.
00:24:37Never.
00:24:41Has everybody gone mad?
00:24:42This degenerate product of so-called modern civilization,
00:24:45this perishing weeper,
00:24:46barges into my house,
00:24:48wails his unadulterated muck into a microphone,
00:24:51and what happens?
00:24:52The maid faints all over the linoleum.
00:24:54My youngest daughter says she's in love with this nitwit
00:24:56and yous tell her go around goggle-eyed.
00:24:59Denver, I shall thank you to remove this bauble
00:25:02and get out of my house.
00:25:05Have you a car, Mr. Denver?
00:25:06Sure.
00:25:07Would you give me a lift?
00:25:08Where to?
00:25:09Anywhere.
00:25:10Anywhere?
00:25:11Yes, anywhere.
00:25:14The last 18 years, John, I've put up with your drab,
00:25:17dreary, dull, dismal daily routine.
00:25:20In the short time that Mr. Denver's been in this house,
00:25:23I've had more excitement and glamour
00:25:25than in all those 18 years.
00:25:27It's made me feel as if I were back on the stage again.
00:25:30And you dare to call him a degenerate product.
00:25:33I'm sorry to have to say this, John,
00:25:35but I would willingly leave you tomorrow
00:25:37for either Abbott or Costello.
00:25:40Come along, Bobby.
00:25:43Yes, but Stella...
00:25:45Bobby.
00:25:47Goodbye, darling.
00:25:48So long.
00:25:59Come on, let's run for it.
00:26:01You can clear away, Linda.
00:26:03Oh, all right, I'll clear you away.
00:26:11Heh.
00:26:23What the...
00:26:24I told you, it's the ballcock.
00:26:26You should have it seen to.
00:26:28Oh, Mr. Bentley, you know I'm not one to complain,
00:26:31but while Bobby Denver was singing,
00:26:33Mr. Wags was extremely sick on my drawing and carpet.
00:26:37That's my Wagsy boy.
00:26:39Thank heaven someone's retained their sanity.
00:26:42Hello, Father.
00:26:46Nothing today, thank you.
00:26:47I'm Peter.
00:26:49Oh, no.
00:26:50You're not Pat's husband.
00:26:52I may take some frightful liberties, but I'm not.
00:26:54Good to see you, Dad.
00:26:56So this is non repose.
00:26:58I witness the Aspidistra.
00:27:00Suburbia, here I come.
00:27:03Heads.
00:27:05Where's my woman?
00:27:06Your what?
00:27:07My little one, my loved one, my rose of Sharon.
00:27:10My wife.
00:27:11Never mind about your wife.
00:27:12Why aren't you in jail?
00:27:13I escaped.
00:27:14I always said the French police were inefficient.
00:27:16Ah, memories, memories.
00:27:18You know, I used to wait for you to get a bed and creep in here and do my courting.
00:27:21Take your feet off that couch.
00:27:24Timber, I dislike you intensely.
00:27:27Well, it's not for the fact that...
00:27:33Put out that filthy pipe.
00:27:34If you please, Mr. Bentley, sir.
00:27:36Linda, go away.
00:27:37I am about to commit murder.
00:27:39Miss Wayne's just committed suicide.
00:27:41What?
00:27:42She locked herself in the bathroom, sir, and let the smoke...
00:27:45Oh, my baby.
00:27:47What have I done?
00:27:48Come on, you.
00:27:53Oh, my baby.
00:27:54What have I done?
00:27:55Whatever it was, I said I didn't mean it.
00:27:57I didn't mean...
00:27:58Oh, look, she's foaming.
00:27:59Get a doctor.
00:28:00A doctor, yes.
00:28:07Peppermint.
00:28:08Who are you?
00:28:09Your brother-in-law.
00:28:10Golly.
00:28:11Are you all right?
00:28:12Yes, of course.
00:28:13I only did it to scare him because he's been so beastly.
00:28:15I swallowed a whole tube of mummy's toothpaste.
00:28:17It lathers better than mine.
00:28:18I must remember that.
00:28:19How did he take it?
00:28:20On the chin.
00:28:22Yes, yes, it's my doctor daughter.
00:28:24My daughter doctor.
00:28:25She's in a terrible state.
00:28:27Mr. Bentley.
00:28:29Out.
00:28:30I beg your pardon?
00:28:31Get out.
00:28:32Well, I think you ought to know.
00:28:34I'm not one to complain.
00:28:35But your daughter's horse is nibbling my mountain ash.
00:28:39My daughter's what?
00:28:41Your daughter's horse.
00:29:01Daddy.
00:29:03Daddy, darling.
00:29:04How wonderful to see you.
00:29:05How are you?
00:29:06You look marvellous.
00:29:07We didn't tell you we were coming.
00:29:08We wanted to surprise you.
00:29:09How's mummy?
00:29:10How's Gwen?
00:29:11How's Mr. Wags?
00:29:12Barnaby.
00:29:13This is daddy.
00:29:14Yee-haw.
00:29:16Hello there, Dad.
00:29:18Glad to see you.
00:29:19This is a great pleasure.
00:29:20It's been a long time.
00:29:21It's been wonderful.
00:29:23Yee-haw.
00:29:24Don't look.
00:29:25Let me go.
00:29:26Let me go.
00:29:27Let me go.
00:29:29I can't believe it.
00:29:34What would they think at the office?
00:29:38Relax, Mr. Bentley, relax.
00:29:41You have been through a very serious emotional disturbance.
00:29:44You are telling me?
00:29:46Now the way I see it, all this trouble comes from this Bobby Deliver.
00:29:50The moment he arrives in your house, what happens?
00:29:53Your wife is threatening to leave you.
00:29:56Your existentialist daughter ignores her existentialist husband.
00:30:00And your youngest daughter is all the time committing Ausgeschlossenblatt.
00:30:04Ausgeschlossenblatt?
00:30:06Attempted suicide.
00:30:08Oh, I see.
00:30:09And the maid is all the time fainting on the linoleum.
00:30:12But what about Flash?
00:30:14Flash?
00:30:15Yes, the horse.
00:30:16Up to now I've discovered no psychological disorders connecting the horse with the crooner.
00:30:22Well, I'm certainly happy to know that.
00:30:24They are curious pathological phenomenon, these crooners.
00:30:27Cardboard lovers for disappointed wives.
00:30:30My wife is not disappointed.
00:30:31How do you know?
00:30:32Emotional outlets for frustrated adolescents.
00:30:35Mrs. Gwendolyn is not frustrated.
00:30:37But can you be sure?
00:30:39Face the facts, Mr. Bentley.
00:30:41You like this Bobby Denver?
00:30:43Denver?
00:30:44I can't stand the sound of him.
00:30:46Exactly.
00:30:47You make natural enemies.
00:30:48He makes the people cry with his sad songs.
00:30:50You make them laugh with your funny jokes from the stock exchange.
00:30:54Well, never mind about that.
00:30:55Look, what are we going to do?
00:30:57First, we must study Mr. Denver very carefully.
00:31:00When a canker gets into the system, it has to be diagnosed before it can be cured.
00:31:05Yes, yes, yes.
00:31:06Come.
00:31:07Where are we going?
00:31:08Mr. Denver is holding a presser reception at the Savoy Hotel.
00:31:11We also shall be there.
00:31:12All right, but how do we get in?
00:31:14Mr. Bentley, I'm a psychologist.
00:31:16Come.
00:31:18Well, I was born in Arkansas.
00:31:19On a small farm.
00:31:20Hold it a minute, Bobby.
00:31:22Just a farm boy.
00:31:23How old are you, Mr. Denver?
00:31:24How old are you?
00:31:25Are you making any recordings here?
00:31:27Yes, a few.
00:31:28Is that an American suit?
00:31:29Yes, it is.
00:31:30I haven't caught up with your English tailors yet.
00:31:32Is this your first visit to England, Mr. Denver?
00:31:34It sure is.
00:31:35And boy, I certainly am tickled pink to be here.
00:31:37Will you be here long?
00:31:38Well, I do a season at your wonderful Hippodrome Theater.
00:31:40And I sure consider it a mighty big honor to be playing there.
00:31:43Then I do some telecasts at one or two broadcasts.
00:31:45And one or two provincial dates.
00:31:47I want to see something of your wonderful country.
00:31:49You know, Stratford, Manchester, Scotland.
00:31:52Towns like that.
00:31:53And something of your wonderful English family life.
00:31:56I've only been here a couple of days, but I've been made to feel so at home by a typical English family that I...
00:32:00Well, I feel as if I'm just one of them.
00:32:02He feels he's one of us.
00:32:03He is one of us.
00:32:05You're not married, are you, Mr. Denver?
00:32:06No, I'm not.
00:32:07But I sure would like to be if the right girl just happened along.
00:32:10Just one more picture, Mr. Denver.
00:32:11Say, fellas, I think I've done just about enough talking.
00:32:13So if you don't mind, I'd rather sing.
00:32:15George?
00:32:18There's a light that lies in Liza's eyes
00:32:21And lies and lies and lies and lies and lies
00:32:25In Liza's eyes
00:32:29And he who tries to analyze
00:32:32The light that lies in Liza's eyes
00:32:35Will find to his surprise
00:32:39They're just two fakers
00:32:41Heartbreakers
00:32:43Playing their game with skill
00:32:45They promise a crazy thrill
00:32:48That her lips and arms will never fulfill
00:32:51But still I love the light that lies in Liza's eyes
00:32:53He has got something.
00:32:55He has a sort of...
00:32:57Revulsion.
00:32:59Those little white lies
00:33:01They only lie to the other guys
00:33:09No, thanks.
00:33:10I've had all the ham I can take.
00:33:12Come on.
00:33:13One thing is obvious.
00:33:15This Bobby Denver must spend as much time
00:33:18As possible in your house.
00:33:20In my house?
00:33:21Now, look, I refuse...
00:33:23I'm so sorry.
00:33:24Say it again, please.
00:33:25There is an English saying
00:33:27Familiarity broods attempt.
00:33:29When your youngest daughter sees Denver
00:33:31As an ordinary, dull, uninteresting
00:33:34Humdrum person like yourself
00:33:36When she sees him in the early mornings
00:33:39Unshaven with his plate out
00:33:41She will forget all this foolishness.
00:33:43Yes, yes. Wait a minute.
00:33:44What do you mean early mornings?
00:33:45I suggest that Bobby Denver
00:33:47Spends all his time in your house.
00:33:49What?
00:33:50Now, look, I told you before, I refuse...
00:33:52I'm so sorry.
00:33:53Say it again, please.
00:33:54Your wife will come to her senses again
00:33:56Patricia goes back to her husband
00:33:58Even the maid, she is standing upright again.
00:34:02There is something else I must tell you.
00:34:05Ah? And what is that?
00:34:07It is also necessary that I myself
00:34:09Spend all my time in your house.
00:34:12No, positively...
00:34:13It's quite all right. Thank you.
00:34:15Yes?
00:34:16Mr. Benfic, I have a very good idea.
00:34:18You have a good idea, eh?
00:34:20Now, wait a minute.
00:34:21Let me tell you once and for all.
00:34:22I refuse...
00:34:23I'm so sorry.
00:34:24Say it again, please.
00:34:26My son is...
00:34:28What do you call it?
00:34:29Inventor.
00:34:30Inventor.
00:34:31All right, go on.
00:34:32He has invented a new kind of...
00:34:35What do you call it?
00:34:39You mean...
00:34:42Wait a minute, what's new about it?
00:34:44It's silent.
00:34:45Instead of all the sloshings
00:34:48It makes the little noise like someone crying.
00:34:52Crying?
00:34:53Mr. Bentley, someone crying.
00:34:56You mean...
00:34:57Yes.
00:34:58We patented it.
00:34:59We call it the Bobby Denver.
00:35:02How can the ladies still go crazy for Denver
00:35:05when they see his name every time they go into it?
00:35:08All right, all right, all right.
00:35:12Oh, Schneider, my boy.
00:35:15It's a wonderful idea.
00:35:17Too bad we ain't got none of that tartan paint, honey.
00:35:19She looks mighty pretty.
00:35:21What's tartan, Barnacle?
00:35:22One of them new color schemes.
00:35:24Funny.
00:35:25What?
00:35:26You being called fat.
00:35:27What's funny about it?
00:35:28I don't know.
00:35:29It just doesn't seem to go with those pants.
00:35:30Now, listen, crybaby.
00:35:31You've caused enough trouble in this family.
00:35:33Why don't you dry your eyes and go home?
00:35:35What a pity.
00:35:36Well, what's a pity?
00:35:37I know so many girls in America just like you.
00:35:39Not existentialists or whatever you call them.
00:35:42Just girls who seem determined to make the worst of a good job.
00:35:45Oh, you could be so charming.
00:35:46Look so wonderful.
00:35:48No one as pretty as you should dress that way.
00:35:50Oh, shut up and let's go in.
00:35:54What's the matter?
00:35:55Don't you think I want to behave naturally?
00:35:57Don't you think I want to look like a woman?
00:35:58I'm sick of my way of living.
00:36:00I'm sick of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and the existentialists.
00:36:02And the whole shooting match.
00:36:04And I'm sick of these clones.
00:36:06Hey, wait a minute.
00:36:08Hey, wait a minute.
00:36:10You fiend.
00:36:11You wicked thing.
00:36:13All right.
00:36:14Two can play at that game.
00:36:18Go on.
00:36:19Your move.
00:36:20You know, you need a darn good spanking.
00:36:22And you, too.
00:36:23Now, come on, you two.
00:36:24You're sisters.
00:36:25Let me go.
00:36:26You're gonna kiss and be good friends.
00:36:28Let me go.
00:36:29Let me go.
00:36:31Kiss and be good friends.
00:36:32Let me go.
00:36:33Come on, now.
00:36:34One little kiss won't hurt you.
00:36:36What was that you said?
00:36:39Denver, I'll get you six years for this.
00:36:42Now, perhaps you'll realize the damnable influence these men have upon women.
00:36:46I suppose I ought to feel flattered that you came home the other day with your hat on.
00:36:50May I have a word?
00:36:51Not from me.
00:36:52Throw you in the gutter where you belong.
00:36:54Daddy, if you touch him, I'll...
00:36:56Oh, John, don't be ridiculous.
00:36:57Bob is a perfectly ordinary, respectable person, and I like him.
00:37:01I love him.
00:37:02He's made me realize what a fool I've been.
00:37:04I'm grateful to him.
00:37:06I see.
00:37:07Well, it seems I'm the only one here with any sense of decency.
00:37:11I feel a little in the way.
00:37:13Excuse me.
00:37:18What do you think he'll do?
00:37:19Lock himself in the bathroom and swallow some toothpaste?
00:37:22How did you know about that?
00:37:24Your mother told me.
00:37:25Oh, she did, did she?
00:37:26Well, he can't, because Mr. Snyder's been in the bathroom all day.
00:37:48It works!
00:37:50It works!
00:37:52Stop!
00:37:53It works!
00:37:55I told you I could do it!
00:38:11John, dear, are you going somewhere?
00:38:13Daddy!
00:38:16I don't seem to fit into the scheme of things any longer, but don't worry.
00:38:20I shall make all the necessary arrangements.
00:38:23Tell her it's nothing sacred to you.
00:38:25Do you realize I may never see you again?
00:38:27Is there anything particularly funny about that?
00:38:29No, dear.
00:38:30It's just that your pajamas are hanging out.
00:38:33I see.
00:38:34My tragedy has been robbed of dignity.
00:38:37Goodbye.
00:38:38Daddy, you can't leave us.
00:38:40This is your home.
00:38:41I have no home.
00:38:42I never thought you'd desert your family.
00:38:44I have no family.
00:38:45Goodbye.
00:38:46You started something when you said goodbye
00:38:57You started something when you made me cry
00:39:08Now it's becoming the talk of the town
00:39:17People are saying that you turned me down
00:39:26Stella!
00:39:28Stella!
00:39:32Bobby!
00:39:38Listen, can we take it back about three bars before I start to cry, please?
00:39:42What bar is that?
00:39:43Well, how would I know?
00:39:44What do you think I am, a musician?
00:39:45I won't answer that.
00:39:46Oh, very funny.
00:39:48You should be up here.
00:39:49All right, Bob.
00:39:50I don't know whether to laugh or to cry over you
00:39:57Now, a great beginning.
00:40:01That's it. That's wonderful.
00:40:02Thanks very much, fellas.
00:40:03I appreciate all your work.
00:40:04See you later.
00:40:05Wrap it up, boys.
00:40:08Please knock.
00:40:09Okay.
00:40:11Come in.
00:40:15What are you doing here?
00:40:16Fixing Val Parnell's plumbing?
00:40:18Please, Mr. Denver, I have an idea.
00:40:20I can cure Miss Gwendolyn's inflammation.
00:40:22Infatuation for you.
00:40:24You know David Garrick, the actor?
00:40:26Sure.
00:40:28Well, he used to repel.
00:40:30He used to repel.
00:40:31He used to...
00:40:32I get the idea.
00:40:33He used to repel.
00:40:34I get the idea.
00:40:35He used to repel unwelcome admirers
00:40:38by pretending to be drunk.
00:40:40Mr. Denver, I am suggesting that you do a David Garrick tonight.
00:40:46Now, watch this, honey.
00:40:47By the time I get through,
00:40:48I'll be able to knock the flies off the back wall of the theater.
00:40:53Shut up!
00:40:55Pretty close.
00:40:56Pretty close.
00:41:00Yeah, hold on now.
00:41:01That's it.
00:41:02Now, this is it.
00:41:03Linda, stop fooling and come and get the supper.
00:41:05Come on out.
00:41:08How's that, honey?
00:41:09Pretty good, huh?
00:41:12Are we an awful nuisance to you, Daddy?
00:41:14Not at all, dear.
00:41:15Only this is Wimbledon, you know.
00:41:17Not Dead Man's Couch.
00:41:18I mean staying here.
00:41:19Of course not.
00:41:20But do you know what they call this house now?
00:41:22The Ever Open Door.
00:41:24We'll go as soon as Barnaby gets a job.
00:41:26What's he thinking of doing?
00:41:27Studying law?
00:41:28But you do like him, Daddy, don't you?
00:41:30He's a dear, a dear.
00:41:32How's his carbuncle?
00:41:33I think there's another one on the way.
00:41:35Well, there's something to be said for new faces.
00:41:38Poor Daddy.
00:41:39I suppose as a family we are a bit of a headache.
00:41:41That's all right, darling.
00:41:42As long as you're happy.
00:41:44No, Pop.
00:41:45As long as we're happy.
00:41:49Hi, Pop.
00:41:50Oh, hello, darling.
00:41:51Are we being a terrible nuisance?
00:41:53Now, what on earth's given everybody the idea you're being a nuisance?
00:41:56We'll go the minute Peter gets a job.
00:41:58Oh, is he looking for a job too?
00:42:00Yes.
00:42:01Then we can be near you always.
00:42:03That'll be wonderful, dear, won't it?
00:42:05Do you really love him?
00:42:06Of course.
00:42:07Extraordinary.
00:42:08Underneath, he's very sweet.
00:42:10Underneath what, dear?
00:42:12All that fungus?
00:42:14You know, he's very disturbing.
00:42:16When he's with me, he drives me crazy.
00:42:17When he's not with me, he drives me even crazier.
00:42:20He just drives me crazy, period.
00:42:32I love you, I love you
00:42:36I hate you, I hate you
00:42:37Then I love you, I love you again
00:42:42I need you, adore you
00:42:45And then I ignore you
00:42:48Then I need you, adore you again
00:42:54It's just my crazy little mixed-up heart, you see
00:42:58That keeps confusing me
00:43:02I'm spellbound, I'm spellbound
00:43:05And then I am hellbound
00:43:07Then I'm spellbound, I'm spellbound again
00:43:11We make up, we make up
00:43:13We break up, we break up
00:43:15Then we make up, we make up again
00:43:20And then the merry-go-round is wound again
00:43:24And I go round and round again
00:43:28I love you, I hate you
00:43:30I hate you, I love you
00:43:32That's my crazy little mixed-up, never-got-it-fixed-up heart
00:43:37And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:43:54And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:44:01And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:44:09And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:44:17And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:44:24And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:44:47And the merry-go-round goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round
00:45:17and I've gone round and round again. I love you. I hate you. I hate you. I love you. That's my crazy little mix-up. Never got it fixed up either.
00:45:47He's coming!
00:45:48Who?
00:45:49Henry Irving!
00:45:50David Garrick!
00:45:51Come on.
00:45:52There I am, starring at the Palace Theatre on Broadway, opening night, all my fans out
00:45:57front.
00:45:58What happens?
00:45:59I forget the words to the song.
00:46:00Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:01Now, go ahead.
00:46:02But I'm in love with you.
00:46:03Think I could have a drink with you?
00:46:04No.
00:46:05Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:06Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:07Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:08Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:09Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:10Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:11Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:12Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:13Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:14Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:15Oh, Bobby, darling.
00:46:17Yes, now, do you think I could have a drink?
00:46:18Of course, darling.
00:46:19What?
00:46:20Whiskey.
00:46:21A large whiskey.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:23Water or soda, darling?
00:46:25I'll just make it straight, kid.
00:46:31Oh, thanks.
00:46:35That's your tune they're playing.
00:46:44Aren't you?
00:46:45Yeah.
00:46:46And do you realize this is the first time in our whole lives we've been alone together?
00:46:51Yeah.
00:46:52In such a night as this, Troilus, methinks, mounted the Trojan walls and cited...
00:47:02May I have another, please?
00:47:04Of course, darling.
00:47:15You and your David Garrick. That's my whiskey.
00:47:19Oh, thanks. What was that you were saying?
00:47:21In such a night as this, Troilus, methinks, mounted the Trojan walls and sighed his soul towards the Grecian tents.
00:47:30Would you like a cigarette?
00:47:31I'd rather have another scotch.
00:47:32Oh, good.
00:47:34Aren't you shocked?
00:47:35No. I think it's wonderful to be able to drink as much scotch as that and still sing as divinely as you do.
00:47:42It's like everything about you, my darling. Wonderful.
00:47:47In such a night stood Dido with a willow in her hand upon the milk sea banks.
00:47:52In such a night, Medea gathered the enchanted herbs.
00:47:56Oh, Bobby, darling, it's so wonderful. Troilus and Cressida, Aeneas and Dido, you and me.
00:48:02I've got to be going now. I'll be late for my TV show.
00:48:06Stella!
00:48:07Coming, darling.
00:48:08Say, don't we look beautiful tonight?
00:48:11Oh, where do you think you're going?
00:48:12Bobby's asked me to watch his TV show.
00:48:14I'm going too.
00:48:16Oh, are you?
00:48:17Hiya there, honey.
00:48:19Say, what are you all dolled up for?
00:48:21Bobby's asked me to watch his TV show.
00:48:23Is that so?
00:48:24Women! In this enlightened age, some clock like Denver is simply to waggle his torso in front of a television camera and the whole lot go berserk.
00:48:32And it happens that my wife is the simple sense to...
00:48:35Oh.
00:48:39Where do you think you're going?
00:48:41Bobby's asked her to watch his TV show.
00:48:44Are you sure there's room for us all in your car?
00:48:47Sure. Come on, let's get going.
00:48:48Just a minute. What about my supper?
00:48:50Well, Linda will fix you something.
00:48:52I can't, Mrs. Bentley. Mr. Denver's asked me to watch his TV show.
00:48:57Look out, she's going again.
00:49:04Come on.
00:49:06Don't be lonely, darling. I'll be back in time to kiss you goodnight.
00:49:09Goodbye, Daddy.
00:49:11Goodbye, Peter.
00:49:12Bye-bye, Barnacle.
00:49:13Goodnight, boys. Have a good time.
00:49:15Have a good cry.
00:49:16Have a good cry.
00:49:42Switch it off.
00:49:43Yeah, let's have a drink.
00:49:44I'll have a large scotch.
00:49:46You won't, you know. Remember?
00:49:48Oh, no. I'm going down to the pub.
00:49:57I seem to be standing in something wet.
00:50:01Hey, boys.
00:50:02What is it?
00:50:03What about this?
00:50:04Scotch. Wait a minute.
00:50:05Real McCoy?
00:50:06No, scotch.
00:50:07Then I have two feet.
00:50:08Here we are.
00:50:12Well, cheers.
00:50:15Not bad. Got quite a sock in it.
00:50:19Well, how's the itch?
00:50:21A fat lot of use you've been.
00:50:23Can't anything be done to prevent this fellow ruining all our lives, even poor old Peter?
00:50:28Father, I believe you're coming round to me at last.
00:50:30The appalling comparison between you and Denver almost makes me like you.
00:50:36Come along, Schneider. Surely something can be done. Have you no ideas?
00:50:40Yes.
00:50:41How would your wife react if one day you bring home a girlfriend?
00:50:44What are you suggesting?
00:50:46That you change your way of living.
00:50:48It is the reaction to your own respectability that has made your family fall for this bohemian crooner.
00:50:54So?
00:50:55Stop being respectable.
00:50:56What?
00:50:57From now on, you will live in such a way that will make the folly berger seem like a kindergarten.
00:51:04I refuse. I will have nothing...
00:51:11You'll find me at our favorite rendezvous.
00:51:22Requesting all those little songs we knew.
00:51:31Oh, that settles it. Schneider, do you know any strange women?
00:51:35Of course.
00:51:36Oh, well now. Look, tomorrow night after this hippodrome nonsense, get six of them.
00:51:40Oh, what am I saying? Get a round dozen. Have them stand by and we'll think of something.
00:51:51Look out, she's going again.
00:52:06Come on, get back.
00:52:10Here. You can't go in there.
00:52:12Going in? I'm going out. Fetch me a car immediately.
00:52:15Charlie!
00:52:19Are you looking for something?
00:52:20Ladies. Beautiful ladies. One dozen round girls.
00:52:29Excuse me, ladies. Please don't go away. I just want to ask. Young lady, lend me your ear.
00:52:36Who do you think you are? Marlon Brando?
00:52:38Thank you very much. No, would you and some of your lady friends like to come on a little trip with me?
00:52:43Where to? Buenos Aires?
00:52:45No, Wimbledon. A party. Bring about twelve beautiful young ladies. Blondes, brunettes, redheads, you know, a nice assortment.
00:52:53What do you think we are? Le Creusot?
00:52:55Okay, we'll see you later.
00:52:57Oh, yippee! Tonight we live it up!
00:53:01No, no, mind out. Look out. You're getting into the scenery.
00:53:04I don't want to commit outrageous blood. I'm too young.
00:53:08Look out!
00:53:09Oh, Mrs. Meshuggah.
00:53:11No, we're trying to get a show on here. This is a theatre, not a circus.
00:53:14I'm coming down.
00:53:19Sit.
00:53:21Come on, you. Out!
00:53:23Come on, you. Out!
00:53:25If ever I get you in here again...
00:53:54They're loonies.
00:53:56But I love them.
00:53:59We're not late, are we?
00:54:00No, madam. The interval has been on some time and Mr. Denver follows immediately.
00:54:03Oh, good.
00:54:04All right, let's go.
00:54:20Where's Peter?
00:54:21Oh, he's up there with the plutocrats.
00:54:42You're not mine, are you?
00:54:43Oh, no, no.
00:54:45Happy to know that.
00:54:47Tell me, how did you get in here?
00:54:49Well, I queued up all night for the gallery.
00:54:51And when I got to the door, they were full up.
00:54:54Even standing room.
00:54:55So I went round to the front and I followed you lot in.
00:54:57And, well, here I am. Lucky, isn't it?
00:55:01Got a bit of a cold waiting, didn't you?
00:55:03But since you are here, may I ask what is your name?
00:55:07Oh, I'm Frankie Johnny Daniels Lane.
00:55:10Oh.
00:55:11Well, Mr. Lane, perhaps you'd better meet my family.
00:55:13My wife and my daughters.
00:55:17Ladies and gentlemen.
00:55:18Ladies and gentlemen.
00:55:20Will you please take your seats?
00:55:22Bobby Denver will be appearing in two minutes.
00:55:25Well now, Mr. Lane, as a matter of interest, not that you're not welcome, of course,
00:55:29but why did you go to all this trouble to come in here?
00:55:33Oh, I'm Bobby Denver's greatest fan, yes.
00:55:36As a matter of fact, I'll let you into a little secret.
00:55:38I'm a crooner myself.
00:55:41Making a good start, aren't you?
00:55:43Oh, I've got all his records.
00:55:45Oh, they send me.
00:55:47Yeah, I suppose they sent you here, didn't they?
00:55:49Most unfortunate.
00:55:50Well now, I imagine you come from a theatrical family.
00:55:53Your father was probably a crooner?
00:55:55No, no.
00:55:56No? Your mother?
00:55:57No, no.
00:55:58As a matter of fact, I'm the only one with talent.
00:56:01Ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:03Will you please take your seats?
00:56:05Bobby Denver will be appearing in one minute.
00:56:09Well, this is it.
00:56:12Yes, I'm afraid it is.
00:56:15I beg your pardon.
00:56:19And now, ladies and gentlemen,
00:56:20the London Hippodrome has great pleasure in presenting,
00:56:23for the first time in England,
00:56:24Bobby Denver!
00:56:40He's turned up!
00:56:45He's turned up!
00:56:59You started something
00:57:03When you said goodbye
00:57:10You started something
00:57:13When you made me cry
00:57:22He's wonderful.
00:57:24Man, I dig him.
00:57:26What do you mean, you dig him?
00:57:28Well, don't you know what dig means?
00:57:29He's the top!
00:57:30Take him off, he's out of the house!
00:57:33But you turn me down
00:57:41You'll find me at our favorite rendezvous
00:57:52Requesting all those little songs
00:57:59We knew
00:58:06Do you dig him?
00:58:07Do I what, dig him?
00:58:09Yes, do you dig him?
00:58:11I dare him.
00:58:12Oh, you rude man.
00:58:15I don't know whether to laugh
00:58:21Or to cry over you
00:58:28I don't know whether I ought to be joyful
00:58:36Or blue
00:58:41To my heart I say
00:58:44This is your lucky day
00:58:48Be happy, relax
00:58:51You are free
00:58:54It's time that you awoke
00:58:57To us all a fair joke
00:59:01But I guess the joke is on me
00:59:11If your sweetheart sends a letter
00:59:18A goodbye
00:59:24It's no secret
00:59:27You'll feel better
00:59:30If you cry
00:59:36When waking from a bad dream
00:59:45Thank you very much.
00:59:46Now I'd like to sing a little song
00:59:48that I think is one of the most beautiful
00:59:49to come out of Tin Pan Alley
00:59:50in a long, long time.
00:59:51It's called, Be My Guest.
00:59:53And I hope you'll like it.
01:00:06If you want music for grieving
01:00:12Be my guest
01:00:17If you want stars that are gleaming
01:00:22Be my guest
01:00:27The things that you treasure
01:00:32The things that you treasure
01:00:35Are right here in view
01:00:40It would be such a pleasure
01:00:45To share them with you
01:00:51If you want heavenly rapture
01:00:56Be my guest
01:01:01And sweet caresses to capture
01:01:05Be my guest
01:01:09And if you want love
01:01:14That will pass the acid test
01:01:20If you know what's best
01:01:24Forget the rest
01:01:30And be my guest
01:01:38And if you want love
01:01:43That will pass the acid test
01:01:49If you know what's best
01:01:53Forget the rest
01:01:58And be my guest
01:02:29Oh, John, wasn't he wonderful?
01:02:33Extraordinary.
01:02:34I think he's a dream.
01:02:35He's sensational.
01:02:37Oh, Daddy, I do love him so.
01:02:39Doesn't he make you want to die
01:02:40through sheer ecstasy?
01:02:41Well, die, but not with ecstasy.
01:02:45Lead him to the land!
01:02:50Take him, Spock!
01:02:51Burn down the place!
01:02:56Begin!
01:02:57Oh, dear.
01:02:58He'll get himself in trouble again.
01:02:59I'd better go and get him out.
01:03:05Mrs. Bentley?
01:03:06Yes?
01:03:07Mr. Denbo would be glad to see you
01:03:08all in his dressing room.
01:03:09He would like you to have supper
01:03:10with him afterwards.
01:03:11Oh, thank you.
01:03:12Well, I'll stand for the dressing,
01:03:13but I refuse to have supper with him.
01:03:15Oh, no, darling.
01:03:23Oh, how this brings it all back.
01:03:26I should never have left the profession.
01:03:28I wonder if he's in my old dressing room.
01:03:30Excuse me.
01:03:33Now, here's our chance.
01:03:35I'll get out of the dressing room
01:03:36as quick as I can.
01:03:37Get the girls out to the house
01:03:38and I'll be right along.
01:03:39Right.
01:03:42Pardon me.
01:03:43You must be chilly in this evening, aren't you?
01:03:45How do you do?
01:03:46Excuse me.
01:03:47Hello, darling.
01:03:48I won't be a minute.
01:03:49Oh, thank you.
01:03:50I shall come before you.
01:03:51Thank you so much.
01:03:52I'm so sorry to have bothered you.
01:03:54Could you direct me?
01:03:56Here's a hard hat on.
01:03:57Now, now.
01:03:58No, no.
01:03:59No, no.
01:04:00No monkey business.
01:04:04Stop this thing, will you?
01:04:05Stop it!
01:04:08Bring on the heels, dear boy.
01:04:09Remember the Achilles tendon.
01:04:12What will my office boys say?
01:04:14Get me out of here.
01:04:16Oh, come along, girls.
01:04:17Your father's in one of his skittish moods.
01:04:19Get me out of here, Stella.
01:04:22Morning exercises.
01:04:25Where's Pam?
01:04:26She's waiting for Denver at the fire.
01:04:28Well, that's perfect.
01:04:29That gets rid of the whole lot of them.
01:04:30Hi, Dad.
01:04:31Hurry it up.
01:04:32Don't forget the party back home.
01:04:33Yes, come on.
01:04:36Good evening.
01:04:37Mr. Denver's just changing.
01:04:38He won't be a minute.
01:04:39Hi.
01:04:40Oh, excuse me.
01:04:41Gwen!
01:04:42Bobby, darling, it's no use.
01:04:43What's no use?
01:04:44I can't live without you.
01:04:45Wherever you go, you must take me with you, darling.
01:04:48Now, just a minute, Gwen.
01:04:49Gwen!
01:04:50This is messy.
01:04:51Gwen!
01:04:52Go away.
01:04:53Gwen!
01:04:54I know I'm a little younger than you,
01:04:56but we can wait a few years, can't we?
01:04:58What for?
01:04:59Well, to get married, of course.
01:05:01Oh, Bobby, darling, I do love you so much.
01:05:04Bobby!
01:05:05Open this door!
01:05:06Okay, Stella, just a minute.
01:05:08When you were singing tonight,
01:05:09I saw the tears streaming down your face.
01:05:12I've never met anyone like you before.
01:05:14Someone who can't even whisper the words goodbye
01:05:17or I love you without his eyes filling with tears.
01:05:21Real tears.
01:05:22Now, just a minute, Gwen.
01:05:23Now, you promised that when I brought you and the family here tonight,
01:05:26you'd get all this silly nonsense out of your head.
01:05:28It's not nonsense.
01:05:29It's love.
01:05:33You see those?
01:05:34That's what you call fan mail.
01:05:36All from very sweet and very silly little girls just like you.
01:05:39All of them imagining that they're in love with me.
01:05:42It's not imagination.
01:05:43Oh, not in my case, anyway.
01:05:45I am in love with you.
01:05:47Okay.
01:05:49You see that?
01:05:50Who is it?
01:05:51My wife.
01:05:53You're married?
01:05:54And now.
01:05:56Do you see that?
01:05:58You don't mean...
01:05:59Of course I do.
01:06:00Well, I never cried a real tear in my whole life.
01:06:02Watch.
01:06:08I don't know whether to laugh or to cry over you.
01:06:18You're a cheat!
01:06:20Sure I am.
01:06:21Now, will you get some sense into that pretty little head of yours,
01:06:24or do I have to shake it in?
01:06:25Don't you dare touch me!
01:06:29Gwen, darling!
01:06:30Let me go!
01:06:31I never want to see him again!
01:06:32He's horrible!
01:06:35Gwen!
01:06:36Gwen, darling!
01:06:37Don't worry, Mommy.
01:06:38She'll be all right.
01:06:39It's only one of her usual crushes.
01:06:42Hello, is that the Daily Express?
01:06:44Can I speak to the editor, please?
01:06:46I have a sensational revelation to make.
01:06:52Daddy was right.
01:06:55He always is right.
01:06:59Poor Daddy.
01:07:03Come do the Hokey Pokey Parker.
01:07:06Dance to the Hokey Pokey Parker.
01:07:09She slaps you, you slap her.
01:07:11Then you break and slap each other.
01:07:13First you pinch, then you break it.
01:07:15Well, you can really take it then,
01:07:17if you want to know what bliss is.
01:07:20Go on and try it on the missus.
01:07:23At a party or four, you can have a free fall.
01:07:26So come do the Hokey Pokey Parker.
01:07:30Come do the Hokey Pokey Parker.
01:07:32But Mr. Schneider, why are we here?
01:07:34Because Mr. Bentley wants to shock Mrs. Bentley.
01:07:37What have we come to do?
01:07:38A great big gay dance.
01:07:40Perhaps a little fun and games.
01:07:42Come on.
01:07:45We were born on gayness, brother.
01:07:48You know it, he is only joking.
01:07:51It's the very last word.
01:07:52Down it's hokey, hokey, hokey.
01:07:54So come do the Hokey Pokey Parker.
01:07:59Darling, what's your name?
01:08:01Pearl, I'm an actress.
01:08:02Legitimate?
01:08:03I didn't come here to be insulted.
01:08:05Oh, now, look, I wouldn't insult you.
01:08:07Didn't Schneider explain things to you?
01:08:09Our relationship, my dear,
01:08:10is no more than that of a managing director
01:08:12and his private secretary.
01:08:14Oh, sir.
01:08:18Now, still young, why don't we go to the embassy?
01:08:20Oh, yes.
01:08:21Oh, no, thank you, Bobby, darling.
01:08:23It is sweet of you.
01:08:24I've left poor John alone too long.
01:08:26I must get back and fix his hot milk.
01:08:30I am now about it.
01:08:31I am now, I am now,
01:08:33about to pass Pearl before Clyde.
01:08:37An orgy!
01:08:42Let's a Hokey Pokey, let's a Hokey Pokey,
01:08:47let's a Hokey Pokey.
01:08:52Well, Bobby Denver, what's Bobby Denver got that I haven't got?
01:08:58Two thousand a week.
01:08:59Oh, never mind about that.
01:09:00Hit it, Horace.
01:09:04If your sweetheart sends a letter of goodbye,
01:09:15it's no secret you'll feel better if you caress.
01:09:30When waking from a bad dream,
01:09:36don't you sometimes think it's real?
01:09:42But it's only false emotions that you feel.
01:09:53If your heartaches seem to hang around too long,
01:10:06and your blues keep getting bluer with each song,
01:10:19remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky.
01:10:30So let your hair down and go on and cry.
01:10:41If your heartaches seem to hang around too long,
01:10:52and your blues keep getting bluer with each little song,
01:11:02remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky.
01:11:13So let your hair down and go on and cry.
01:11:31If your heartaches seem to hang around too long,
01:11:41and your blues keep getting bluer with each little song,
01:11:51remember sunshine can be found behind a cloudy sky.
01:12:00That's it, baby. Now, hold it.
01:12:02Hello, darling. Do you know what this noise is all about?
01:12:05No.
01:12:09John!
01:12:10Oh, this is going to be wonderful.
01:12:12Peter!
01:12:14Yes.
01:12:16Follow me.
01:12:19Daddy, you've been drinking.
01:12:22Doesn't he always look like that?
01:12:24Ah, that's what I want. Now, hold it. Hold that smile.
01:12:28John!
01:12:29Ah, good evening, Stella.
01:12:31Who is this brazen hussy?
01:12:32She's not brazen, dear. She's blonde.
01:12:34You must get yourself some glasses.
01:12:36Who is she?
01:12:37Well, if you must know, she's a Miss Pearl Delaney.
01:12:39I'm an actress.
01:12:40She lives at Flat Number 7, Virtue Mansion, Maiden Lane.
01:12:43Well, I think that's about everything.
01:12:46Next season, Royal Academy.
01:12:48Have you gone mad?
01:12:49Not at all. Not at all.
01:12:51Oh, I'm so sorry. Would you mind, very much?
01:12:53Thank you so much.
01:12:54Stella, I'm grateful to you.
01:12:55Grateful?
01:12:56Oh, yes. You were perfectly right.
01:12:58Up to now, I've led a dull, drab, monotonous life.
01:13:01But now, I've had a little fling.
01:13:03And what's more, I'm going on having little flings.
01:13:05I find I like little flings.
01:13:15I don't want to live.
01:13:17What do you propose to do instead?
01:13:21That doesn't matter.
01:13:22What does matter is how I do it.
01:13:25And I'm going to do it beautifully.
01:13:28That was a line from a play.
01:13:30What play?
01:13:31Hedda Gobbler.
01:13:32Just before she went upstairs and shot herself.
01:13:37Stella!
01:13:45Stella! Stella! Stella!
01:13:48Oh, my baby.
01:13:49What have I done?
01:13:50What have I done?
01:13:51Whatever it was I said, I didn't mean it.
01:13:52I really didn't.
01:13:54Oh.
01:13:59Mine's vanilla.
01:14:02Brute!
01:14:03I'm feeling it, Brute.
01:14:04Take it easy. Take it easy.
01:14:05Wretch!
01:14:23The musician got my attitude and all goat.
01:14:26Until I up to him and he's over clean on his throat.
01:14:30He had a lengthy repertoire.
01:14:32Now he hasn't any more offer.
01:14:35I hate the morning.
01:14:38Hey, Pop!
01:14:40Well, what is it?
01:14:41What do you think? Barnaby's got a job.
01:14:43Oh, fine, fine.
01:14:44Six months with the traveling circus.
01:14:46Isn't it wonderful?
01:14:47Oh, fine, fine.
01:14:48He's to do whip cracking, trick shooting.
01:14:51Fine, fine.
01:14:54Rope spinning and bareback riding on dear old Flash.
01:14:56When are you leaving?
01:14:57Right now.
01:14:58Fine, fine.
01:14:59I'm sorry, I didn't mean it.
01:15:00Bye, Daddy, darling.
01:15:01I love you very much.
01:15:03Bye, bye, Daddy.
01:15:09Oh, bury me not on the lone prairie.
01:15:17Good heavens.
01:15:18What's the matter?
01:15:19Don't you approve of me dressing like an ordinary human being?
01:15:22You look wonderful and I feel rather ridiculous.
01:15:26I'm afraid you've got Bobby to blame for this.
01:15:28You're not in love with him?
01:15:29No, but he has brought me to my senses.
01:15:32I'm never going back to the boulevard, Saint-Germain.
01:15:34I never want to hear the word existentialism again.
01:15:37I just want to live an ordinary, normal life with ordinary, normal people.
01:15:41I'm sorry, Peter, but there it is.
01:15:44Must I tell you something?
01:15:45I hate it almost every moment of our life in Paris.
01:15:47I don't really know what the word existentialism means
01:15:49and I'm frozen to death in these perishing shorts.
01:15:52Oh, Peter.
01:15:55Why have you been acting like a crazy lunatic all this time?
01:15:58You seem to forget what you were like when we first met.
01:16:00You were bored by everything.
01:16:01You drank neat whiskey.
01:16:02You swore like a trooper.
01:16:04And it was only with the greatest difficulty I stopped you chewing tobacco.
01:16:07Yes, well, that was just a phase.
01:16:09Well, I didn't know that.
01:16:10I thought I had to act crazy, too.
01:16:12Otherwise I'd lose you.
01:16:14And I didn't want to lose you.
01:16:16Darling.
01:16:19You wait here.
01:16:20Don't move.
01:16:21I've got a surprise for you.
01:16:25I've ruined him.
01:16:26Who?
01:16:27Bobby Denver.
01:16:28Look.
01:16:32You're a scaredy Linda.
01:16:38Pat, I never thought it would come to this.
01:16:41Whatever will he think of me?
01:16:47I did it.
01:16:49Can you ever forgive me?
01:16:50Did what?
01:16:51I told the press about the onion.
01:16:56Oh, now, now.
01:16:57You're getting yourself all upset.
01:17:03That's better.
01:17:05Your breakfast, sir.
01:17:06Oh, thank you, Linda.
01:17:08Where's my mistress?
01:17:09Where's your mistress gone?
01:17:10Mrs. Bankley's gone, sir.
01:17:12Gone?
01:17:13Yes, sir.
01:17:14She packed a few things and left.
01:17:16Oh, did she take her mink coat?
01:17:18No, sir.
01:17:19She'll be back.
01:17:26What's the matter with you, dear?
01:17:28I've ruined him.
01:17:29Who?
01:17:30Bobby.
01:17:31Last night I thought it was the other way around.
01:17:33You haven't ruined me.
01:17:35Why, you've given me the greatest publicity I've ever had in my whole life.
01:17:38I'm held over for a third week at the Hippodrome and the film office are just pouring in.
01:17:41Even one this time from Jay Arthur himself.
01:17:44There's a light that lies in Liza's eyes
01:17:48And lies and lies and lies and lies and lies
01:17:53In Liza's eyes
01:17:57And he who tries to analyze
01:18:01The light that lies in Liza's eyes
01:18:04Will find to his surprise
01:18:10They're just two fakers, heartbreakers
01:18:14Playing their game with skill
01:18:17They promise a crazy thrill
01:18:20That her lips and arms will never fulfill
01:18:24But still I prize the light that lies
01:18:27And lies and lies in Liza's eyes
01:18:31Cause it only lies to the other guys
01:18:37Peter!
01:18:40What has happened?
01:18:42Darling, you're bald.
01:18:45You look wonderful.
01:18:47I'm going to get a job.
01:18:49Insurance, I thought.
01:18:50I'll give you a lift.
01:18:51Thanks.
01:18:52Well, so long, Gwen.
01:18:53You're a real nice kid.
01:18:54Someday you're going to meet a real nice guy.
01:18:56So no more nonsense.
01:18:57Promise?
01:18:58I promise.
01:18:59I'm afraid I've caused a lot of trouble.
01:19:01On the contrary, I think you've done a lot of good.
01:19:03I sure envy Mr. Bentley.
01:19:05A loving wife, a lovely family,
01:19:07and a quiet, peaceful, well-ordered life.
01:19:19He must have blown up.
01:19:20What happened?
01:19:21Snyder's thingamajig.
01:19:24Did you hear that?
01:19:25Ha ha, good old R.E.F.
01:19:27Threw the sound barrier like a crack.
01:19:29Ha ha, wonderful.
01:19:31A flying saucer.
01:19:34What the country needs is more moonlight,
01:19:37more people to sing,
01:19:39I love you, I love you, I do.
01:19:41Seen Mr. Bentley, Linda?
01:19:42Yes, he's upstairs in his dressing room, Mr. Denver.
01:19:44Oh, thanks.
01:19:46Come on, Mr. Bentley.
01:19:48Oh, hello, Bobby.
01:19:49Are you going?
01:19:50Yeah, and I'll bet you're sure glad to get rid of me.
01:19:52Oh, I wouldn't say that.
01:19:53You had me worried for a while, though,
01:19:55but it wasn't your fault.
01:19:56Now, don't forget,
01:19:57come and see us next time you're in England.
01:19:59Thanks, I'll be glad to.
01:20:00Goodbye.
01:20:01Bye-bye.
01:20:02Oh, wait a minute, Bobby.
01:20:03I hope you don't mind my asking you this,
01:20:06but is it true you get 2,000 a week?
01:20:10Yeah.
01:20:11Pounds?
01:20:12Well, sure.
01:20:13Just for...
01:20:16Yeah, that's right.
01:20:19If your sweetheart...
01:20:21Goodbye.
01:20:22Bobby.
01:20:23Bobby, please don't leave us.
01:20:25Oh, I'm not leaving you, Linda.
01:20:26I'm just going down to the theater
01:20:27to rehearse for my evening performance.
01:20:29And I've reserved a special box just for you.
01:20:35Bye.
01:20:38Linda!
01:20:44Now, Stella, before you say anything, I can explain.
01:20:47It's all right, darling.
01:20:48I've been to see your girlfriend.
01:20:50My girlfriend?
01:20:51Miss Delaney.
01:20:53Pearl, darling.
01:20:54Pearl?
01:20:55You've called on her?
01:20:56Certainly.
01:20:57I knocked three times to let me in at once.
01:21:00We had a cup of tea,
01:21:01and she explained that there was nothing to explain,
01:21:03and we parted most amicably.
01:21:05Yes, I'm afraid it's all been my fault.
01:21:07Must have been rather dull for you sometimes, I'm afraid.
01:21:10But I'll try and brighten things up for you from now on, you know.
01:21:14Take you out to lunch sometimes,
01:21:16and go to nightclubs if you'd like that.
01:21:19We'll start tonight.
01:21:20Oh, no, we won't, dear.
01:21:22When I looked in the mirror this morning,
01:21:24I thought I looked tired and ugly.
01:21:29I said I thought I looked tired and ugly.
01:21:32I'm not arguing, dear.
01:21:35Hello, who are these for?
01:21:37For you.
01:21:38You've forgotten.
01:21:39It's the 23rd.
01:21:4023rd?
01:21:41Our anniversary.
01:21:43The day you first met me.
01:21:45I was in the bingo, girl.
01:21:46Yes, I remember that.
01:21:47Darling, do you remember that first necklace I wore?
01:21:49Of course.
01:21:50Pale pink, covered with sequins.
01:21:52Lovely, dear.
01:21:53Do you remember the round of applause I used to get at the end of my song?
01:21:55I gave it to you, dear.
01:21:56Of course I remember.
01:21:57You always said it was an occasion for rejoicing,
01:22:00and I quite agree.
01:22:01Well, I meant it.
01:22:03Aren't you going to the office?
01:22:05Gosh, I'd nearly forgotten.
01:22:06Look, I'll just go and collect my things.
01:22:08See you downstairs, darling.
01:22:11Sigh.
01:22:16I don't know whether to laugh or to cry over you
01:22:25I don't know whether I ought to be joyful or blue
01:22:35To my heart I say this is your lucky day
01:22:39Be happy, relax, you are free
01:22:44It's time that you're bold
01:22:46It was all a funny joke
01:22:49But I guess the joke is on me
01:22:54You were just acting
01:22:56And now you are taking your vow
01:23:03Comedy, tragedy
01:23:06What shall we call it now?
01:23:13I'm feeling hazy
01:23:15What shall I do?
01:23:17Everything's crazy
01:23:20Including you
01:23:23I don't know whether to cry
01:23:30Or to laugh
01:23:31Over you

01:25:32You'll be late.
01:25:34Why, what's the time?
01:25:3510.26.
01:25:36Oh, that's fine.
01:25:37If I leave here now, I can catch the bus
01:25:39which passes the corner of Acacia Avenue at 10.34
01:25:42connecting with the train to town
01:25:44leaving Wimbledon Station at 10.48.
01:25:46What time will you be back?
01:25:476.57. Good morning.
01:25:49Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
01:25:51What the...
01:26:02Get out of there, will you?
01:26:04Morning, Mr. Rank.
01:26:05I am not Mr. Rank.
01:26:06But I got your telegram.
01:26:07What do you mean telegram?
01:26:08And I got my music.
01:26:09Oh, I'm ever so grateful for this opportunity
01:26:12because I know I can be a smashing singer.
01:26:14I'll make them swoon and cry and everything.
01:26:16Oh, not again.
01:26:17Go on, son, on I go.
01:26:19Don't laugh at me
01:26:20Don't say it, Peter.
01:26:21I won't have it.
01:26:22I know it's true, yes, I'm a fool
01:26:23I can't stand it.
01:26:24No one seems to care
01:26:26I'd give the world to share my life
01:26:30with someone who really loves me.
01:26:36Norman, Norman, darling.
01:26:39I see them all falling in love
01:26:45and dying like a child.
01:27:00THE END
