00:04:35Oh, Linda, the big bad wolf who kept the three little pigs from getting their millions.
00:04:40But supposing, darling, you had gone into it.
00:04:43Suppose you had given up a good position and gone traipsing halfway across the world
00:04:47and the Granada Development Company hadn't developed.
00:04:49Aha, but it did.
00:04:51All very well. But the fact remains that it was still an out-and-out gamble.
00:04:55Sure it was.
00:04:57But, Linda, nowadays a man has to step out occasionally and take a chance.
00:05:00That is, if he ever expects to get anywhere.
00:05:03Darling, I know you're still 18 at heart and very handsome and I adore you.
00:05:09But you are 40 and responsible for the well-being of a nagging wife
00:05:14and an increasingly expensive young lady daughter.
00:05:17To say nothing of an extravagant mother-in-law.
00:05:20Good morning, good morning.
00:05:21Hello, David.
00:05:22How are you, David?
00:05:23Hello, David. Have some breakfast.
00:05:25Well, I had one, but I could use a cup of coffee.
00:05:28What do you know, David?
00:05:29Dr. David to you.
00:05:31Oh, then you got your hospital appointment.
00:05:33Yep, starting next week. And believe me, I'm mighty lucky.
00:05:36There isn't a hospital in the country where you can get the training and experience you can at Granville.
00:05:40Will you have to live in New York?
00:05:42Yes, Mrs. Howard, but you'll see quite a lot of me.
00:05:45Sure. You'll be coming to see me, won't you?
00:05:47Oh, trying to steal my boyfriend, are you?
00:05:50Come on, Dr. Strong, gulp that coffee and let's go.
00:05:53Bye, family.
00:05:54Bye.
00:05:55Bye.
00:05:56Bye.
00:06:01Smart boy, David.
00:06:02I have a feeling he'll go a long way.
00:06:06Janet could do a lot worse.
00:06:08But, Philip, his future is so uncertain.
00:06:12Nowadays it's a long, hard pull for a young doctor with no assurance of success.
00:06:16It's a darn good thing I didn't feel that way or you wouldn't be here.
00:06:21Attagirl.
00:06:22When I married your father, he didn't even have a job.
00:06:25But I had a hunch, and so I bought the ring.
00:06:29I bet you had a swell time, too, didn't you, Peg, gambling on the future?
00:06:33You've said it, boy.
00:06:35Grab the present and play the future for all it's worth.
00:06:39Philip, you're going to be late.
00:06:41Good night. I've only got four minutes to make that train.
00:06:45Bye, darling.
00:06:53Philip, here's a dollar.
00:06:55Put it on Lonesome Lena for me in the third, will you?
00:07:03Too bad, Mr. Howard.
00:07:05Yes.
00:07:06Next one's at 8.29, isn't it?
00:07:08Nope, they took that one off.
00:07:09You'll have to wait till 8.44.
00:07:11Well, that's just dandy.
00:07:12That makes me just a half an hour late for a very important appointment.
00:07:15Can't I give you a lift?
00:07:16I'm on my way into town now.
00:07:18Well, thanks a million.
00:07:19It'll certainly help me out of a spot.
00:07:21I know how it is.
00:07:22I used to be a chronic train missus.
00:07:26That's why I invested in a car.
00:07:28I'm afraid I'm not up on the etiquette for hitchhikers, but anyway,
00:07:32I'm Philip Howard, address 122 Poplave New Forest Hills, Long Island.
00:07:36And I'm Eve Sheldon.
00:07:37I live just around the corner from you.
00:07:39Hop in, neighbor.
00:07:48Out.
00:07:49Okay, perfect.
00:07:57Oh, what a workout you gave me.
00:07:59Well, I'm just too good for you.
00:08:00Braggart.
00:08:01You know what I think?
00:08:03I think you picked the wrong vocation.
00:08:05You should have gone in for professional tennis.
00:08:07Oh, no.
00:08:08You can be a doctor after you've acquired a long gray beard,
00:08:11but you never saw a tennis champ before.
00:08:13David, you're such a fool.
00:08:16This summer's been a lot of fun.
00:08:18I'm going to miss all this.
00:08:20So am I.
00:08:23Well, let's not talk about it.
00:08:25Why, David, you sound as though at the end of everything.
00:08:28Instead of the beginning of a career you've always dreamed of.
00:08:31I know what it's going to mean.
00:08:33It's going to keep me away from you.
00:08:35And I happen to be just a little crazy about you.
00:08:38Same to you, Dr. David.
00:08:40But we can talk about that on our own time.
00:08:42It's costing exactly a dollar an hour here.
00:08:44All right, it's worth it.
00:08:46Wrong card, fella.
00:08:48Serve him up.
00:08:53Well, I've certainly got to hand it to you.
00:08:56You have an amazing understanding of engineering.
00:08:58Gotten by absorption.
00:09:00You see, I have a friend who thinks and talks of nothing else.
00:09:03Maybe you've heard of him.
00:09:05He's been doing rather big things in South America.
00:09:07Raphael Mendoza?
00:09:08Oh, yes, indeed.
00:09:09Perhaps you'd like to meet him when he comes to New York again.
00:09:12Very much.
00:09:17All right, then.
00:09:18Your chauffeur will pick you up here at five o'clock.
00:09:20This is mighty nice of you, Miss Sheldon.
00:09:22You're sure it's not a bother?
00:09:23Not in the least.
00:09:24On the contrary.
00:09:25Thanks a lot.
00:09:26Think nothing of it.
00:09:27Just the girl scouting me.
00:09:36I'm not a bad model for Janet's clothes.
00:09:39Will you stop admiring yourself and stand still until I finish?
00:09:43I can't see for the life of me why women go for a style
00:09:46that makes them turn their backs to make an impression.
00:09:49Now, when I was a girl...
00:09:53Yes, I know, dear.
00:09:54Walk over there.
00:09:55I want to see how it hangs.
00:10:04Hurry up.
00:10:05The bottom of my spine's getting cold.
00:10:07Well, if I do say so, I shouldn't.
00:10:09It's sweet.
00:10:10Sweet?
00:10:11Sweet?
00:10:12It's a knockout.
00:10:13You'd have been a great designer and making lots of money
00:10:16if you'd only stuck to your career.
00:10:18Yes, but instead I married Philip.
00:10:20And all my great talent hasn't been wasted.
00:10:22It's come in very handy for Janet.
00:10:30Won't you come in for a moment?
00:10:32I want you to meet Mrs. Howard.
00:10:33And I want to meet her.
00:10:34But I can't go in looking like this.
00:10:37Oh, you women.
00:10:38All right, then I'll bring her out.
00:10:42Hang up the deposit in my room, dear.
00:10:44I have to see you about dinner.
00:10:45Oh, all right.
00:10:48Orlando.
00:10:50Can this visual of loveliness be my girlfriend Peg?
00:10:54Could you go for me like this?
00:10:56And how?
00:10:58Hello, darling.
00:10:59Oh, hello, dear.
00:11:01I want you to meet Miss Sheldon, dear.
00:11:03She's outside in the car.
00:11:04Oh, and I want to meet her, too.
00:11:06Oh, but I couldn't go out looking like this.
00:11:09But I couldn't go out looking like this.
00:11:11Oh, you women.
00:11:12You're all alike.
00:11:13Now, come on.
00:11:14You always look lovely.
00:11:24Miss Sheldon, this is my wife.
00:11:26How do you do?
00:11:27I do hope you'll excuse my...
00:11:29I see.
00:11:31You both have a lot in common.
00:11:32You're a vanity.
00:11:34You've been awfully kind to Philip.
00:11:36The husband's called for and delivered at all hours.
00:11:38That's my slogan.
00:11:39Maybe you don't think I'm grateful.
00:11:41Mornings at the Howard's have been so peaceful this week.
00:11:43There was no 814 to be caught.
00:11:45To say nothing of the 530 that I always nearly miss.
00:11:48After all, what's a neighbor good for?
00:11:50Well, we'd enjoy being neighborly, too.
00:11:52Won't you have dinner with us sometime?
00:11:54How about tonight?
00:11:55Well, sorry, but I can't make it tonight.
00:11:57But please ask me again soon.
00:11:59Well, I must run.
00:12:00Goodbye.
00:12:01So happy to have met you, Mrs. Howard.
00:12:03See you in the morning.
00:12:04Goodbye.
00:12:09She's charming, Philip.
00:12:11Yes, isn't she?
00:12:13Got a lot of brains, too.
00:12:15I knew you'd like her.
00:12:16Say, why did you nudge me when I asked her to dinner?
00:12:18Why do you suppose, silly?
00:12:19Because I wasn't prepared for company.
00:12:21Oh, she's not like that.
00:12:22If you had hash, she'd probably love it.
00:12:24Ah, but hash wouldn't show what a talented wife you have.
00:12:27Such conceit.
00:12:35Mrs. Howard?
00:12:36Good morning.
00:12:37This is Eve Sheldon.
00:12:40I know this is terribly short notice,
00:12:42but a friend of mine from South America
00:12:44is having dinner with me tonight,
00:12:45and I'd like to have you and Mr. Howard join us.
00:12:48We do have the worst luck with our dinner engagements.
00:12:51If it were any other night than election night,
00:12:53the club would have to get along without me.
00:12:55Oh, I am so sorry, Miss Sheldon.
00:12:57Oh, so am I.
00:13:00For your husband expressed a desire to meet Señor Mendoza.
00:13:04It might have proved advantageous to both of them.
00:13:09Oh, unfortunately, this is his only free evening.
00:13:13Well, even though I can't come,
00:13:15there's no reason why Philip shouldn't.
00:13:17That is, of course, if it's agreeable to you.
00:13:20Very well, then.
00:13:21I'll phone him and tell him to get in touch with you.
00:13:23Thanks so much, Miss Sheldon.
00:13:25We'll get together yet.
00:13:27Goodbye.
00:13:28Too bad you can't ditch that club, Linda.
00:13:31Yes, isn't it?
00:13:32But as long as Philip can go, that's all that matters.
00:13:34Wasn't it nice of Miss Sheldon to arrange this meeting for him?
00:13:37Yes, very thoughtful indeed.
00:13:39Aster 43102, please.
00:13:41You know, I think Philip should wear his dinner clothes tonight.
00:13:44He looks so stunning in them.
00:13:45I must look them over.
00:13:47And don't forget to perfume his hanky and pin a gardenia on him.
00:13:52Mr. Howard, please.
00:13:53I want Philip to look his best tonight.
00:13:57Mrs. Santiclaus.
00:13:59What did you say, dear?
00:14:01I said yes, of course.
00:14:04Hello, darling.
00:14:09People call it Mendoza's dreams.
00:14:12Nobody believes in me.
00:14:15They even say that it's a big gamble.
00:14:18Of course it's a big gamble.
00:14:20For all that, I've always gambled.
00:14:23And most of your dreams and gambles have become reality.
00:14:26There's no reason why this one can't.
00:14:28I think it's a glorious project.
00:14:30It has unlimited possibilities.
00:14:32I can't understand why engineers have tried to discourage you.
00:14:35Why, from what you've told me, I wouldn't be afraid to tackle it.
00:14:39I think I'll take you to South America with me.
00:14:42Well, bon voyage, Mr. Howard.
00:14:44When do you sail?
00:14:45Now, don't encourage me.
00:14:46I might be tempted to take him up on it.
00:14:49You both laugh, huh?
00:14:51But I am serious.
00:14:53Maybe we make some kind of a deal, you and me.
00:14:57What do you say, senor?
00:14:59Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:15:01This is all happening a little too fast for me.
00:15:04Oh, I see.
00:15:06I hurry you too much, eh?
00:15:08No hurry.
00:15:09Think it over.
00:15:12My dear friend, buenas noches.
00:15:15And remember, no hurry.
00:15:17Take your time.
00:15:19Think it over.
00:15:20And then say yes, huh?
00:15:23And to you, my lovely, my most humble apology.
00:15:28Again, I make myself the nuisance by talk of nothing but Mendoza.
00:15:33But you forgive me, do you?
00:15:35Don't be ridiculous, Rayfield.
00:15:37We'll arrange lunch or something before you sail.
00:15:43Amigos mÃos, adios y buena suerte.
00:15:59Well, little did I think my humble home would be the scene of such big business.
00:16:04Congratulations.
00:16:06What for? It was your fine Italian hand that did it.
00:16:08Nonsense.
00:16:09All I did was to bring you two together.
00:16:11Rayfield sees something in you he can use.
00:16:18By the way, what have you been doing with your talent all these years?
00:16:22Oh, nothing very outstanding, I'm afraid.
00:16:24Well, it looks as though you're going places now.
00:16:27I wonder.
00:16:28I'm not so sure I can accept his offer.
00:16:30Not accept.
00:16:31But you said it was a glorious project.
00:16:34And it is, and I believe in it, but it's a gamble.
00:16:38What of that?
00:16:39Everything worthwhile is a gamble.
00:16:41That's true.
00:16:43But when a man reaches my age and has responsibilities,
00:16:46he sort of has to watch his step.
00:16:49You're wrong.
00:16:50It's all the more reason not to let opportunities continue to slip through your fingers.
00:16:54That might be all right for the babbits of the world, but not for you.
00:16:59Are you disappointed in me?
00:17:01Horribly.
00:17:02For I had an idea that you'd go to the four corners of the earth
00:17:05if you thought they held adventure and opportunity.
00:17:08Well, maybe I could mend my ways.
00:17:10Would you lend a helping hand?
00:17:12Sure.
00:17:13Two of them.
00:17:24Mrs. Howard.
00:17:31Yes?
00:17:33Oh, uh, Mrs. Howard.
00:17:39Yes, indeed.
00:17:41The two men hit it off famously.
00:17:46Just a moment.
00:17:53Hello, Linda. Meeting over so early?
00:17:59Yes, darling. Much sooner than I expected.
00:18:02And somebody drove me home so you don't have to bother calling for me.
00:18:06Madame President to you, Mr. Howard.
00:18:10Uh-huh. I was elected by an overwhelming majority of three votes.
00:18:15Oh, wonderful. Congratulations.
00:18:18I'm leaving now.
00:18:33Mrs. Howard's quite elated.
00:18:36She's just been elected president of her club.
00:18:40How nice.
00:18:45Well, I guess I'd better be off.
00:18:49Good night.
00:18:54Good night.
00:19:00I think perhaps I'll start taking the train again.
00:19:05That little walk to and from the station.
00:19:08Awfully good for the middle-aged waistline, you know.
00:19:15Good night.
00:19:23Good night.
00:19:41Linda, you'll have to speak to that paperboy again.
00:19:44There it was, in the flowerbed.
00:19:54Well, if here isn't my little lavender and old lace reading the sporting page.
00:20:00Where do you get that lavender and old lace stuff?
00:20:04Say, did you put that dollar for me on Jolly Paddy today?
00:20:07I sure did, and she won.
00:20:10Here's your dough.
00:20:13How come you took the train?
00:20:16Miss Shelton have to see you.
00:20:19How come you took the train?
00:20:22Miss Shelton have to stay in town?
00:20:25Oh, no.
00:20:28No.
00:20:30I've decided to turn commuter again.
00:20:33Those Daly Sprints, they're very good for my figure, you know.
00:20:37Where's Linda?
00:20:39It's almost six o'clock.
00:20:41I'll give you three guesses.
00:20:46You're going to miss a very nice dinner, young lady.
00:20:49What food, when a young man's having his first night off.
00:20:53Ah, the Marster's home.
00:20:56Ah, what lovely scullery maids.
00:20:59Hello, darling.
00:21:01And Madam President, here is a little something for you to wear on occasions of state.
00:21:06Mr. Howard, my first day in office and you tempt me with bribes.
00:21:10Open it, Janet. I'm up to my elbows in biscuits.
00:21:13And from Celeste Incorporated, no less.
00:21:16Celeste Incorporated? Oh, Philip, what extravagance.
00:21:19Maybe it's a good investment.
00:21:22The kitchen's not the only way to a man's heart.
00:21:25That depends on the kitchen and the man, eh, Philip?
00:21:29Oh, mother, look.
00:21:32Oh, Philip.
00:21:35It's beautiful.
00:21:37It's the loveliest thing I ever saw in all my life.
00:21:39Ah, do you like it?
00:21:41You can try it on. Let's see how you look in it, huh?
00:21:43Oh, don't be silly. I can't until after dinner.
00:21:46Oh, but mother, I won't be here then.
00:21:48Come on, let's put it on.
00:21:50I'm just dying to see you in it.
00:21:52Yes, give us a treat.
00:21:53Please, Linda, please.
00:21:55Oh, what children.
00:21:57All right, but don't blame me if your dinner is late.
00:22:03Just wait till you see her.
00:22:07Mrs. Philip Howard.
00:22:12Ta-da!
00:22:15Ain't that something?
00:22:18Ah, now you're talking.
00:22:23Is she gorgeous, or is she gorgeous?
00:22:29Will I do?
00:22:31Will you do?
00:22:33Mother, with a finger wave, a manicure, and just a little makeup.
00:22:36Why, you could hold your own with anybody, couldn't you, daddy?
00:22:40I've managed to hold my own for nearly 20 years without any of these, do-dad.
00:22:44Haven't I, Philip?
00:22:46Why, of course, dear.
00:22:50But you have no idea, Linda, how lovely you look in that dress.
00:22:54It's a lovely dress.
00:22:56And you were a dear to get it for me.
00:22:58But let's come back to earth.
00:23:00Where do I go that I could possibly wear anything like this?
00:23:03Well, I'll fix that. We'll dig up places and we'll step out.
00:23:06Philip, imagine me breaking out as a giddy butterfly.
00:23:09Oh, no, no.
00:23:11Thank you. I'm very much satisfied with things as they are.
00:23:14Oh, darling.
00:23:16You were a lamb to think of me.
00:23:18And I don't want to hurt you.
00:23:20But would you mind very much if I took it back?
00:23:25She makes me sick.
00:23:27Mother, you mean you're not going to keep the dress?
00:23:30Let it hang in the closet.
00:23:32You mean you're not going to keep the dress?
00:23:34Let it hang in the closet?
00:23:36But that's so stupid, Janet.
00:23:38You understand how I feel, don't you, Philip?
00:23:41After all, dear, the dress is yours.
00:23:44You do as you please with it.
00:23:47It's a good thing for this family that you have such a practical wife.
00:23:51Now, out of the finery and back to the biscuits.
00:24:03Oh, Peg.
00:24:05She looked so lovely.
00:24:07What a shame.
00:24:09I'll say it's a shame.
00:24:11But that's your mother for you.
00:24:13Bound up in budgets and biscuits.
00:24:15Bunk.
00:24:24Be right out.
00:24:28Bye, darling.
00:24:30Bye, mother, I'm off.
00:24:32Have a good time, dear.
00:24:34Boy, am I glad to see you.
00:24:36How are you, doc?
00:24:38A little service, please.
00:24:40Shouldn't I go in and pay my respects to the honorable family?
00:24:42Better skip it tonight so you can stay on neutral ground.
00:24:45Not a battle in the Howard household.
00:24:47No, not a battle.
00:24:49Just a good old debate.
00:24:51Extravagance versus economy.
00:24:53Who won?
00:24:54Economy, of course.
00:24:55Mother walked off with the cub.
00:24:57She's a dear.
00:24:58A curable case of budget insecurity.
00:25:00Not a bad disease for a struggling young doctor's wife to have.
00:25:03And are you suggesting that I catch it?
00:25:05Sure, I'll get the case.
00:25:07Here you are, Mrs. Howard.
00:25:09$165.
00:25:12And will you sign this, please?
00:25:14Surely.
00:25:20I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:22I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:24I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:26I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:28I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:30I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:32I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:34I'm afraid I can't.
00:25:37Thank you so much.
00:25:42May I help you, madam?
00:25:44No, thank you.
00:25:47Jerry Benson!
00:25:52You, Celeste?
00:25:54In my deepest baritone, yes.
00:25:56Oh, it is nice to see you.
00:25:58Why, it's been nearly 20 years.
00:26:00Oh, please, it sounds like a page out of Ruth Van Winkle.
00:26:04Linda, you're a sight for sore eyes.
00:26:06Lovely as ever.
00:26:08No, I don't know how you've managed to be so successful,
00:26:10sticking to the same old line.
00:26:12Ah, but that same old line was designed exclusively for you.
00:26:17Oh, Jerry, to think that all this is yours.
00:26:19I'm thrilled to death for you.
00:26:21And your gowns are lovely. I've just returned one.
00:26:23What? And a couple of tut-tuts.
00:26:25Don't you know there's women like you who put dents in my business?
00:26:28Oh, is that so?
00:26:30And guys like you who put dents in my pocketbook.
00:26:34Well, you're awfully busy, and I guess I'd better be running along.
00:26:36Oh, no, you don't. Don't you realize this is a front-page event?
00:26:39Oh, yes, indeed. Headlines.
00:26:41Talented designer meets first boss after many years.
00:26:45And he's still the same silly fool.
00:26:47Well, then you have lunch with him.
00:26:49You mind waiting in my office a moment?
00:26:51I've got to run up to the workroom.
00:26:53Oh, no, no, that's not a very good idea at that.
00:26:55You might slip away from me.
00:26:57I'd better take you along with me.
00:27:01Hmm.
00:27:03Now, somehow or other, it just misses, Frenchie.
00:27:05You know, the thing that's in the sketch is not in the dress.
00:27:09Hazel, you turn all the way around.
00:27:12Very slow.
00:27:15Oh, Monsieur Benson, the gown.
00:27:18She's exquisite.
00:27:20What do you think, Linda?
00:27:22It's kind of a mess, isn't it?
00:27:24Oh, I don't know, Jerry. It's...
00:27:26Oh, come on now. Speak up. What's the matter with it?
00:27:28Well, for one thing, the neckline.
00:27:31Well, what can we do about it?
00:27:33Well, it's, uh...
00:27:35It's too, um...
00:27:37Too, uh...
00:27:38Well, go on.
00:27:39How far can I go?
00:27:40The limit. Frenchie, the scissors.
00:27:43Better? Huh?
00:27:45That's perfect.
00:27:47What do you think about it, Frenchie?
00:27:49Madame is very clever.
00:27:51Clever? Hmm.
00:27:52Clever is not the word, Frenchie.
00:27:54Tell them to get busy on it right away, and not a change.
00:27:59When do you want to see it?
00:28:01Tomorrow.
00:28:02Tomorrow?
00:28:03Yes, tomorrow.
00:28:04Tomorrow?
00:28:05Yes, tomorrow.
00:28:06Tomorrow?
00:28:07Yes, tomorrow.
00:28:08Tomorrow?
00:28:09Yes, tomorrow.
00:28:11When do you want to start work for Celeste Incorporated?
00:28:14Never, thank you.
00:28:15I'm too happy sharing eggs and scalloping potatoes for Howard Incorporated.
00:28:19Is that a subtle reminder that I promised to buy you lunch?
00:28:22Well, I worked for it, didn't I?
00:28:24I'll say you did.
00:28:25And you can have anything from champagne to hot cakes.
00:28:27Say, there's an idea. Champagne and hot cakes.
00:28:29I wonder how they'd mix.
00:28:31You're the same silly old fool.
00:28:36I had lunch with Mendoza today.
00:28:39He can't understand why he hasn't heard from you.
00:28:42He's sailing the end of the week.
00:28:44I suppose I should have got in touch with him.
00:28:48South America, Mendoza, future.
00:28:52For what?
00:28:57Oh, Eve, this last week without you has been torture.
00:29:01You haven't been out of my mind for a moment.
00:29:05You don't know what I've been through.
00:29:07Oh.
00:29:09Don't I?
00:29:20What are we going to do about it, Eve?
00:29:22Nothing.
00:29:25We've just got to tell ourselves that this thing that's happened to us never happened.
00:29:31What's the good of lying to ourselves?
00:29:33It has happened.
00:29:35Nothing can change that. Nothing.
00:29:39Can it be?
00:29:55Life's going to hold so much for us.
00:30:10It isn't as simple as all that, Philip.
00:30:13You and I and the fact that we love each other.
00:30:17There are others to be considered.
00:30:20Your first duty is to your wife.
00:30:22You must think of her.
00:30:25I could never be happy knowing that I've taken you away from her.
00:30:30Eve, you can't take away something that's already gone.
00:30:33That has been for years.
00:30:36I just didn't realize it.
00:30:39I see now that the things that are all important to Linda
00:30:43are the very things that have been stripping my life of everything that I need and want.
00:30:48I've stood by and let it happen until now.
00:30:52But I'm not willing to do that any longer.
00:30:54I've got to start doing something with my life before it's too late.
00:30:59And I'll need your help.
00:31:03And will you tell Mrs. Howard all this?
00:31:05Of course. Tonight.
00:31:08What are you thinking about?
00:31:10I was just trying to put myself in her place.
00:31:13Would I be willing to let you go?
00:31:17If I can come to you tomorrow
00:31:19and tell you that Linda is willing,
00:31:21what then?
00:31:23Then?
00:31:24South America with Mendoza.
00:31:26South Pole with Byrd.
00:31:28Anywhere in the world you want to look for opportunity and happiness.
00:31:39Good night, dear.
00:31:41Good night, Philip.
00:31:48All this has been stifling something in me.
00:31:52I can't go on feeling that I can never reach out for things.
00:31:58I know this is very difficult for you to understand, Linda.
00:32:02That's the way it is.
00:32:04Oh, Philip.
00:32:06Let's get the truth squarely.
00:32:08It isn't that you've been stifled all these years.
00:32:11I haven't stripped your life of anything.
00:32:14Be honest with yourself.
00:32:16It's so obvious.
00:32:18The glamour of another woman
00:32:20and the illusion of romance that she holds out to you on an adult base.
00:32:30It's all right.
00:32:32If that's what you want, I won't stand in your way.
00:32:36All right.
00:32:50Good night, Linda.
00:32:52Good night.
00:33:05Good night.
00:33:20Linda, where do you think I found the paper this morning?
00:33:24In the flowerbed.
00:33:26Oh, grapefruit.
00:33:29This isn't Saturday, is it?
00:33:35Are you ready for breakfast, Philip?
00:33:37Sorry, Linda.
00:33:39I don't think I wanted anything this morning.
00:33:42What's the matter?
00:34:04What's the matter?
00:34:06Philip got a cold?
00:34:08He didn't want any breakfast and he didn't kiss you goodbye.
00:34:12I guess he was in a hurry.
00:34:20Hey, what is all this about Mother and Daddy?
00:34:23What are you talking about?
00:34:25Daddy just told me they're going to be divorced.
00:34:27He's going to South America.
00:34:29Divorced? What?
00:34:31Mother.
00:34:32Linda, what's this Janice just been telling me about you and Philip getting a divorce?
00:34:36That's right, we are.
00:34:37Oh, but Mother, it can't be.
00:34:39Why, you and Daddy.
00:34:40It's not possible.
00:34:42Why, it's too ridiculous.
00:34:43Yes, isn't it?
00:34:45What's it all about?
00:34:47Let's have it.
00:34:50What's the usual plot in these little domestic dramas?
00:34:54Husband after 20 years of complete happiness
00:34:57suddenly awakens one morning to find that he isn't happy at all.
00:35:01That in reality he's been stifled all these years by his well-meaning wife.
00:35:05Frustrated, stripped of everything worthwhile.
00:35:09So now, before it's too late, before his youth is gone,
00:35:13he wants a chance to live, to express himself.
00:35:16He wants to be free.
00:35:18Try his wings.
00:35:20One moment, Linda.
00:35:22There's more to it than that.
00:35:24Oh, yes.
00:35:26I forgot to mention
00:35:28that this was brought to the husband's attention by the glamorous lady
00:35:31who holds his happiness in her two beautifully manicured hands.
00:35:35Eve Shelton could never have gotten Philip away from you
00:35:38if you hadn't been blind to every danger signal.
00:35:40What do you mean, danger signal?
00:35:42Well, for instance, Philip buying you that dress.
00:35:45That was a danger signal.
00:35:46If you could have seen the expression in his face
00:35:48as you came down those stairs with it on,
00:35:50you'd have done your housework in it and loved it.
00:35:53But no, you took it back.
00:35:55It was extravagant.
00:35:56Pretty stupid economy, I call it,
00:35:58to let things like that cost you a husband like Philip.
00:36:01Don't, Peg.
00:36:03Not now.
00:36:08Mother.
00:36:10Well, why not?
00:36:12This little lesson in what husbands want,
00:36:15though a trifle late for my benefit, is very timely for you.
00:36:19Now I know what to do
00:36:21so that what happened to my life won't happen to yours.
00:36:24You see, dear,
00:36:26I gave importance to the wrong things.
00:36:29Home, family, love.
00:36:33I was stupid enough to think that men valued them.
00:36:36But they don't.
00:36:37All you have to do to hold your husband
00:36:39is to be a charming fashion plate,
00:36:41a glamorous clothes horse.
00:36:43That's the answer.
00:36:57Vanderbilt 14111.
00:37:03Mr. Benson, please.
00:37:05Linda Howard calling.
00:37:08Hello.
00:37:10How's my favorite designer today?
00:37:12Out of a job.
00:37:14Howard Incorporated is dissolving partnership.
00:37:17Well, how about joining forces with Celeste Incorporated?
00:37:20Why, do you suppose I called?
00:37:22Great.
00:37:23When can you start in? Tomorrow?
00:37:25Too fast.
00:37:27I have a little unfinished business in Reno
00:37:29before I can start working out a new design for a living.
00:37:32Fine.
00:37:33I'll be waiting for you.
00:37:56Come in.
00:37:59Here's the layout for the new ad, Mrs. Howard.
00:38:01Can you okay it now?
00:38:02Surely.
00:38:08Oh, Dick, how could you?
00:38:10You've left out our slogan.
00:38:11I was afraid maybe the public was tired
00:38:13reading it the way we plugged it.
00:38:15You can forget the drawing.
00:38:16Forget the name if you want to.
00:38:18But not the name.
00:38:20I'm sorry.
00:38:22You can forget the drawing.
00:38:23Forget the name if you want to.
00:38:25But never those three magic words.
00:38:27Women must dress.
00:38:29You're the doctor.
00:38:34Excuse me, Mrs. Howard.
00:38:35Oh, hello, Mr. Foster.
00:38:39Good afternoon, Madam Howard.
00:38:44And just how did you two manage to break through
00:38:47the many minions that guard my sanctum from intrusion?
00:38:50Need you ask?
00:38:51I can't hold out against my irresistible charms.
00:38:53Brad, what conceit.
00:38:55You only got by because you were lucky enough
00:38:57to be with the daughter of Linda Howard,
00:38:59vice president of Celeste.
00:39:01Well, anyhow, we're in and we have startling news.
00:39:04Feast your eyes on that.
00:39:07Janet!
00:39:08It's gorgeous!
00:39:10Oh, congratulations.
00:39:13And do I deserve them?
00:39:14You've no idea how hard I've worked to land them.
00:39:17She finally broke down my resistance
00:39:19and forced me to repose to her.
00:39:20Before he could change his mind,
00:39:21I rushed him to the jury.
00:39:23Oh, you both know how happy I am over this.
00:39:27Well, when do we start the trousseau?
00:39:29Shh, not so fast.
00:39:31I've got to give Brad a little time
00:39:32to get over the shock of being engaged
00:39:34before I can rush him to the altar.
00:39:36Now that you've hooked me,
00:39:37you're not in any hurry, huh?
00:39:39Say, we'd both better hurry
00:39:40if we're going to make those tennis matches.
00:39:41Oh, you'll have to step on it.
00:39:42Oh, I suppose, bless you,
00:39:44my children's speech is in order,
00:39:45but I'm not very good at those sort of things.
00:39:49How about dinner tonight?
00:39:50Coming home, dear?
00:39:51You better not count on her.
00:39:52The gang will probably want to celebrate
00:39:54when they hear the news.
00:39:55Oh, I got another letter from Daddy this morning.
00:39:57How is he?
00:39:58Fine.
00:39:59Here, read it.
00:40:00Say, fun gal, we'll be late.
00:40:02Well, goodbye, madam.
00:40:19That's all right.
00:40:20Take all the checks you can get with that signature.
00:40:22Yes, Mr. Manson.
00:40:29Well, what goes on here?
00:40:31Oh, where have you been all day?
00:40:33I've been wanting to thank you
00:40:34for all the gorgeousness you sent me.
00:40:36Oh, think nothing of it, my child,
00:40:37think nothing of it.
00:40:38But I warn you,
00:40:39if next year's business falls off,
00:40:41I'll send you scallions.
00:40:43Jerry, I've got to go.
00:40:45Oh, I'll send you scallions.
00:40:47Jerry, you understand Spanish, don't you?
00:40:50Oh, si, si, senorita.
00:40:51What did you say?
00:40:53A few other choice phrases.
00:40:55Well, then sit down here and translate this for me.
00:40:57I want to find out what South America
00:40:58thinks of a nursed wild husband.
00:41:00Well, I can give you a rough idea of it,
00:41:03and I'm afraid it's going to be a very rough idea.
00:41:06Well, it seems that the Mendoza Development Company
00:41:09has achieved big things in South America this year.
00:41:12That much of their success is due to the foresight
00:41:14and outstanding ability
00:41:16of one full of power of New York.
00:41:19And that in recognition of his valuable work,
00:41:21he has been made a partner.
00:41:24In short, South America thinks pretty well of him.
00:41:29You still do, too, don't you, Linda?
00:41:34How'd you guess it?
00:41:35Well, I'm afraid I knew it.
00:41:38I was just hoping.
00:41:39You know, woman's privilege to change her mind.
00:41:42Unfortunately, Jerry, not her heart.
00:41:47Well, you haven't forgotten
00:41:48our theater engagement for tonight.
00:41:51I should say not.
00:41:52I'll be ready at 8 all dressed in my best bib and tucker
00:41:54and your orchids.
00:41:56All right.
00:42:10Hey, wait a minute, you eggs.
00:42:11How about me?
00:42:12Yeah.
00:42:13How about him?
00:42:14I'll find out about him.
00:42:15To him.
00:42:16To him.
00:42:17To him.
00:42:18Why, Bubbling.
00:42:19Oh, Francie, darling.
00:42:21Here, honey, you have some of mine.
00:42:29Oh, you, David.
00:42:31What is that?
00:42:32Well, that's my egg.
00:42:34Who's your drunken girlfriend?
00:42:36Hey, who's bringing this back, anyway?
00:42:37Hey, I got the funniest story.
00:42:39Janet Howard.
00:42:42So that's Janet.
00:42:45Well, come on, all you lovebirds.
00:42:46Let's get going.
00:42:47We'll be on your way.
00:42:48We'll all meet at your old drinky shoppy in an hour.
00:42:52Don't be late now.
00:42:55Hey, wait a minute.
00:42:56Hey, watch it with me.
00:42:57I got to shut up.
00:42:59Watch it with two old mates.
00:43:00See, and he's selling the ribs.
00:43:02To the bride and groom.
00:43:04To the bride and groom.
00:43:07Is that us, honey?
00:43:09To the bride and groom.
00:43:16All right, Mrs. Martin.
00:43:17I'll tell her.
00:43:20Who was that, Clara?
00:43:22Your mother, Mrs. Howard.
00:43:23She said to tell you she was in the middle of a hot bridge game
00:43:26and not to wait dinner for her.
00:43:28Miss Janet won't be home, either.
00:43:29That means I'll dine alone instead.
00:43:39Hello?
00:43:41Who?
00:43:43Oh, tell Dr. Strong to come up.
00:43:50How do you do, David?
00:43:52I'm sorry to bother you at your dinner hour,
00:43:54but I have so little free time and I want to talk to you.
00:43:58Come in.
00:44:09Sit down, David.
00:44:11No thanks, I'll stand.
00:44:14A year ago you asked me to step aside
00:44:16and let Janet see some of the new life that you had planned for.
00:44:19You convinced me it was the square thing to do.
00:44:22Made me realize how little I had to offer her.
00:44:25I agreed.
00:44:26And I kept my word.
00:44:29But today I saw the result of your noble experiment
00:44:32and I'm not stepping aside any longer.
00:44:34Well, it's all very interesting, David,
00:44:36but not very enlightening.
00:44:37Perhaps you've never seen her as I did today.
00:44:41Cheap, hard, and dissipated.
00:44:43Just a moment, David.
00:44:45Aren't you overstepping a trifle?
00:44:47No, because I love her.
00:44:49I know how fine and worthwhile she really is
00:44:51under all this false smuck that you put around her.
00:44:53And I'm going to fight for her.
00:44:55David, spare yourself the embarrassment of further heroics.
00:45:00They're in rather bad taste.
00:45:01And a trifle late.
00:45:03Because Janet announced her engagement to Brad Van Buren today.
00:45:13My heroics were in very bad taste, Mrs. Howard.
00:45:17I owe you an apology.
00:45:19For obviously Janet has found what she wants through your efforts.
00:45:24Good night.
00:45:29Dinner is served, Mrs. Howard.
00:45:43Good morning, Gloria.
00:45:44Good morning, Michelle.
00:45:45Anyone clamoring for me this morning?
00:45:47Mr. Lawson said he wanted to talk to you as soon as you came in.
00:45:53Yes?
00:45:54This is your little Eva.
00:45:56How are you, handsome?
00:45:58Is there any way to talk to your boss?
00:46:01What's on your mind?
00:46:03I want you to do an article right away on Linda Howard of Celeste Incorporated.
00:46:08Play up the human interest, you know.
00:46:11Husband leaves her for siren.
00:46:14Little woman heartbroken and alone braves hardships.
00:46:18Becomes famous modiste.
00:46:20And anything else you can pry out of it.
00:46:24Say, are you still there?
00:46:27Did you hear me?
00:46:29Yes.
00:46:31Yes, I heard you.
00:46:33Okay, step on it.
00:46:42Call Mrs. Howard and see if she'll grab me an interview and when.
00:46:48Tell Michelle any time at her convenience.
00:46:54Tomorrow at three then.
00:46:56I'll be expecting her.
00:46:59Okay.
00:47:25Good afternoon.
00:47:27Good afternoon.
00:47:29I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
00:47:31But these dowagers who insist on looking like Mae West are becoming a problem.
00:47:35If they were only content with looking like her.
00:47:39Do sit down.
00:47:44Cigarette?
00:47:45No thanks, just finished one.
00:47:48And now for the interview.
00:47:51Well, I warn you I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
00:47:54Just what do you want me to tell you?
00:47:56Mrs. Bazaar asks for very little.
00:47:58Just the complete history of your life.
00:48:00Oh.
00:48:02Well, let's see.
00:48:03Born Bedford, Mass.
00:48:05We'll skip the date.
00:48:08I was not an unusual child and I did not graduate with honors.
00:48:12I went through a designing school and strangely enough Jerry Benson,
00:48:15who is now Celeste Incorporated, was my first boss.
00:48:19We had a funny little hole in the wall and I was his only designer
00:48:22for the munificent salary of $25 a month.
00:48:25Don't stop Mrs. Howard, you're doing beautifully.
00:48:29I had only one thought, a career.
00:48:31And oh how hard I worked at it.
00:48:34And along came love and marriage and poof, went career.
00:48:39And I tackled marriage in the same two-fisted way that I'd tackle career.
00:48:43How seriously I took it.
00:48:45How hard I worked at the business of marriage.
00:48:48Too hard I suppose, for poof, went marriage.
00:48:51So I re-tackled career and here I am plugging away at it again.
00:48:54You're far too modest Mrs. Howard.
00:48:57You've won an international reputation.
00:48:59I've just spent a year in our Paris office.
00:49:02I know.
00:49:03Paris?
00:49:05But you thought I'd go to South America.
00:49:08Well...
00:49:10Well yes I...
00:49:11To be frank I did.
00:49:13No.
00:49:14Philip and I decided to postpone our marriage until after his return to the States.
00:49:20Well I...
00:49:21I mustn't take any more of your time.
00:49:23Thanks so much for the interview.
00:49:25Not at all.
00:49:26Good afternoon Mrs. Howard.
00:49:28Good afternoon.
00:49:43For the life of me I don't see anything very new in that.
00:49:47I had a dress almost exactly like it 40 years ago.
00:49:50We'll have to dig down in that old trunk of yours.
00:49:52We might get some new ideas.
00:49:56That's some of those hoodlum bluebloods.
00:50:16Hi Grandma!
00:50:17Hi Grandma!
00:50:19Hello Peg, how are you?
00:50:22Good evening.
00:50:25Say, where's the woman in my life?
00:50:27Oh she's dressing, I'll see if I can spur you around.
00:50:29All right, swell.
00:50:30How dry I am!
00:50:33Mrs. H, can I scare up a drink for this gang?
00:50:35Surely, you know where the bar is, help yourselves.
00:50:38That's all they do, help themselves.
00:50:41Believe me, my bows always brought their own.
00:50:48Boom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom, ba-bom.
00:50:57Thanks maestro!
00:50:58Yeah.
00:50:59Oh Peter, play something for us.
00:51:01Remember what the drunk sang in the bar joint last night?
00:51:05Well sugar, I reckon I could fix it up here on the piano for you all.
00:51:09Hey, hey I'll sing the freezer song.
00:51:12What do you mean the freezer song?
00:51:14Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:51:16Freezer, jolly good fellow, freezer, jolly good fellow.
00:51:20Hi, gang.
00:51:21Hey.
00:51:22Hi.
00:51:23Hi.
00:51:24Hi.
00:51:25Hi.
00:51:25Hey, look out, look out, look out.
00:51:27Oh, no.
00:51:28Oh, no.
00:51:28Get him.
00:51:29Come right here.
00:51:30Give me a drink.
00:51:31Here we are.
00:51:32Come on, please.
00:51:32Come on.
00:51:33I see you went to the 20-M-5.
00:51:35And you.
00:51:38Hiya, toots.
00:51:39Hey, how's about a little drink?
00:51:42I'm not drinking.
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:44Come on.
00:51:45Come on.
00:51:46Whoo-hoo.
00:51:47Come on.
00:51:48Come on.
00:51:49Come on.
00:51:52If that's a sample of blue blood,
00:51:55I don't like that shade of blue.
00:51:57That's fine.
00:52:00Well, come on, gang.
00:52:01We've got places to go.
00:52:02Come on, Bob.
00:52:03We have things to do.
00:52:04Come on, let's go.
00:52:05Oh, don't rush us.
00:52:06Don't rush me.
00:52:07Why not, Brad?
00:52:08You've had enough.
00:52:09Come on, gal.
00:52:10We've got to go.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:12Hey, come on.
00:52:14Wait a minute.
00:52:15I'll get my raft.
00:52:17Brad, do you think you ought to drive tonight?
00:52:20You're not going to go mother-in-law on me, are you?
00:52:22No, no, no, no.
00:52:24Don't you worry about my driving.
00:52:26Darling, the tighter he is, the better he drives.
00:52:29Sure.
00:52:30Come on.
00:52:31Whoo-hoo.
00:52:32Bye, darling.
00:52:33Whoa, whoa.
00:52:34Don't you pull me away from that car like that.
00:52:36Whoo-hoo.
00:52:37Hello.
00:52:38Yes, this is Mrs. Howard.
00:52:53What?
00:52:56Where is she?
00:53:02Hello?
00:53:05Where is she?
00:53:08What hospital?
00:53:11I'll be right over.
00:53:13Mother!
00:53:15Oh, mother!
00:53:17You see, I remembered your address, Dr. Strong.
00:53:21Thought I'd pay you a visit.
00:53:24What's the old gag? If I'd have known you were coming, I'd have baked a cake.
00:53:29How do you feel?
00:53:31Not so hot.
00:53:35Am I pretty badly smashed up, David?
00:53:37Young lady, you're not even an interesting case.
00:53:40And if you obey orders, you'll be out of here in no time.
00:53:43What do I do first?
00:53:47You go to sleep.
00:53:50Oh, David, how is she?
00:53:53Well, she has two fractured ribs, and she's pretty well shaken up.
00:53:57But there's nothing to be alarmed about.
00:53:59Oh, thank God.
00:54:01David, are you sure that's all?
00:54:04Yes, Peg, quite sure.
00:54:06Well, I'm sure.
00:54:08Well, I'm sure.
00:54:10Well, I'm sure.
00:54:12Well, I'm sure.
00:54:14Well, I'm sure.
00:54:16Are you sure that's all?
00:54:17Yes, Peg, quite sure.
00:54:19By any chance, could nothing have happened to that drunken idiot?
00:54:23Well, he got off with a broken arm. We patched him up and sent him home.
00:54:26Too bad it wasn't his neck.
00:54:28When may I see her?
00:54:29Not for a day or so.
00:54:31She's had a terrific shock, and her nerves are in bad shape.
00:54:34She must have absolute quiet for a while.
00:54:36Then she'd better stay here, because she'd never rest at home.
00:54:38Yes, by all means. And don't worry, Mrs. Howard.
00:54:41Janet will have every care.
00:54:43Thank you. I'll phone in the morning.
00:54:45David, you'll keep your eye on her, won't you?
00:54:48You bet we will.
00:54:49Oh, thank you.
00:54:52There now. I'm all dressed for dinner.
00:54:55The music is playing.
00:54:58Bring it on.
00:55:01Come in.
00:55:03Well, just in time for dinner.
00:55:05Hiya, Doc.
00:55:06You feel better, don't you?
00:55:07What an argument you gave me a few days ago, when I prescribed absolute rest and quiet.
00:55:12Yes, Dr. Strong.
00:55:15I hear you like my dinner.
00:55:19That gives me an idea.
00:55:21Noiseless crackers for nervous patients.
00:55:26What else have we got here?
00:55:27Oh, frog's legs, Mr. Taylor.
00:55:31What's that green stuff that looks like spinach?
00:55:34What do you mean, spinach?
00:55:35Why, there's lobster and a new bird.
00:55:38And for dessert, you'd better name that one.
00:55:43We will now take you to the Hotel St. James,
00:55:45Hollywood's favorite spot to dine, dance and romance,
00:55:48where you'll hear the delightful music of Don Riggin and his boy.
00:55:54Oh, what a charming spot.
00:55:57They say all the movie stars come here.
00:55:59How horrible.
00:56:00Must we stay?
00:56:02Oh, Garcon.
00:56:03Waiter to you.
00:56:07You order, David.
00:56:11Let me see.
00:56:14Lamb chop.
00:56:16A baked potato and...
00:56:20Oh, yes.
00:56:21Spinach.
00:56:23That's the real joy of eating out.
00:56:25One can get such unusual things.
00:56:27They serve a very rare wine here, I'm told.
00:56:30Oh, not for me, thank you.
00:56:31I don't approve of drinking.
00:56:33You see, my doctor's warned me of its evil effects.
00:56:37You won't have a doctor if he doesn't get back to the job.
00:56:39Now, you eat your dinner before it gets cold.
00:56:42I'll look in on you later.
00:56:51Here's my partner, Philip Howard.
00:56:54Alone, as usual.
00:56:55Oh, Carlos.
00:56:57Mendoza.
00:56:58Please sit with me.
00:56:59Where is he?
00:57:00Sit down.
00:57:03I do not understand.
00:57:06Our charming South American lady.
00:57:08The world's most beautiful.
00:57:11All fall in love with him.
00:57:13And they...
00:57:14What do you say?
00:57:15Oh, yes.
00:57:16Roll off his horse.
00:57:19Perhaps, Mr. Philip is too patriotic.
00:57:23That's it, Carlos.
00:57:25I've got it.
00:57:26I know.
00:57:27You are scared.
00:57:29You think when we go back to the States,
00:57:31I'll tell our lovely Eve on you, huh?
00:57:34Did you say our Eve?
00:57:37Oh, no, no, no, my friend.
00:57:39All partnership ceases where she's concerned.
00:57:41Don't forget she's going to marry me.
00:58:00Enter.
00:58:03Is the doctor in?
00:58:04No.
00:58:05Come on in.
00:58:06Oh, my God.
00:58:09How are you, doctor?
00:58:11Can we see the baby?
00:58:12Madam, we're working our way through college.
00:58:16I'm here for a brush, man.
00:58:19How are you today, sweetie?
00:58:20Never felt better.
00:58:21How's the arm?
00:58:22Oh, swell.
00:58:23The fun you can get out of a broken arm.
00:58:25Three cheers for a broken arm.
00:58:27Rock, rock, rock.
00:58:29What about my two broken ribs?
00:58:31Don't they weigh something?
00:58:32What do you take?
00:58:33How much have I offered for the lady's two fractured ribs?
00:58:36Five.
00:58:37Four.
00:58:38Three.
00:58:39Two.
00:58:40One.
00:58:41Sold to the man with the black beard.
00:58:44Come on, let's get down to business.
00:58:46Somebody scrap some more glasses.
00:58:48Come on.
00:58:51Hey, where's the bottle opener?
00:58:53I know just how this thing goes.
00:58:54Oh, Bob, how about a cigarette?
00:58:57There you are, Madam Dewberry.
00:59:00Yes.
00:59:01You use this.
00:59:02It says poison on it, but I watched that good.
00:59:06Thanks, sugar.
00:59:07I'll die for you.
00:59:08If I'm not careful.
00:59:10Whoa.
00:59:11Whoa.
00:59:12Come on.
00:59:14Here we are.
00:59:15Oh, my.
00:59:16That's fine.
00:59:17To Lydia Pinkham.
00:59:19What for?
00:59:20Yours not to question why.
00:59:22Ours but to drink and cry.
00:59:25Lydia Pinkham.
00:59:29Howard, your guests will have to be more quiet.
00:59:31I'm sorry, nurse.
00:59:32We'll behave.
00:59:34I'll train nurse to you.
00:59:36Please, miss.
00:59:37Please.
00:59:38Come on.
00:59:39Come on.
00:59:40Come on.
00:59:51What is this?
00:59:52Miss Harding, doctor.
00:59:53Miss Bird's just in there to quiet them.
00:59:55Cheer them up.
00:59:56Get out of here, all of you.
00:59:57Say, wait a minute.
00:59:58What's the idea of ordering us around?
00:59:59Please, Brad.
01:00:00I said get out.
01:00:01Come on, Brad.
01:00:02That's not helpful.
01:00:03OK.
01:00:04Good-bye, dear.
01:00:05Go on.
01:00:06I'll talk to you later.
01:00:07Good-bye, Brad.
01:00:08Good-bye.
01:00:09Good-bye.
01:00:10Good-bye.
01:00:11Good-bye.
01:00:12Good-bye.
01:00:13Good-bye.
01:00:14Good-bye.
01:00:15Good-bye.
01:00:16Good-bye.
01:00:17Good-bye.
01:00:18Good-bye.
01:00:19Good-bye.
01:00:20Good-bye.
01:00:21Good-bye.
01:00:22Good-bye.
01:00:23Good-bye.
01:00:24Good-bye.
01:00:25Good-bye.
01:00:26Good-bye.
01:00:27Good-bye.
01:00:28Good-bye.
01:00:29Goodbye.
01:00:30Good-bye.
01:00:49What's the matter with you, sweetheart?
01:00:50Number 402's appendix roll off your life?
01:00:55Yes? Speaking.
01:00:59You can tell Miss Howard that Dr. Forbes has taken over her case.
01:01:03Just when you were getting over that dame, fate had to throw her into this hospital.
01:01:07What a break.
01:01:09You don't have to worry about that, baby. I'm so completely cured, it isn't even funny.
01:01:12Uh-huh. I can see that.
01:01:19Well, if anybody wants me, I'll be in delivery room playing stork.
01:01:26I'm sorry, Peterson, I haven't the time.
01:01:28Oh, please, Dr. Storm. She's leaving right away.
01:01:31Look in on her for a minute.
01:01:33I'm very well.
01:01:35What's up, Peterson?
01:01:37Oh, the poor kid's been trying to see him ever since the day they staged that party in her room.
01:01:41Oh, yeah? Now?
01:01:43Oh, yeah.
01:01:45Oh, yeah.
01:01:47Oh, yeah.
01:01:49Oh, yeah.
01:01:51Oh, yeah.
01:01:53Oh, yeah. Now I'll tell her.
01:02:00Miss Peterson said you wanted to see me.
01:02:02Yes, I do. I've tried to for days.
01:02:05I just couldn't leave without explaining to you about the other...
01:02:07Explain? What could you possibly explain about that exhibition?
01:02:10Like a brawl and a waterfront dive.
01:02:12Or perhaps you want to tell me that you had no part in it,
01:02:15that you merely sat an innocent angel hating it all while your friends made merry.
01:02:19Well, if that's why you were sent for me, you can spare yourself the effort.
01:02:21Oh, but...
01:02:30We could take a little cottage someplace.
01:02:32It would do us all good to get away for a week or so.
01:02:35What do you think, Janet?
01:02:37You didn't hear a word I said.
01:02:40I'm sorry, Mother.
01:02:42I was saying I thought it would be nice if we could get out of town for a while.
01:02:46Yes. I'd like that very much.
01:02:52Will you and Peg excuse me?
01:02:55She hardly touched her dinner.
01:02:59I don't like the way she looks, Linda.
01:03:14When do you want to go, dear?
01:03:16As soon as possible.
01:03:17Fine.
01:03:18Then tomorrow, if you feel up to it, drop in for some fitting so your trousseau can be finished.
01:03:25You won't have to finish it.
01:03:28I'm not going to need it.
01:03:30What?
01:03:31I won't need any trousseau.
01:03:33I broke my engagement to Brad today.
01:03:35You did what?
01:03:37I said I broke my engagement to Brad.
01:03:41Janet, you couldn't.
01:03:43Oh, couldn't I?
01:03:44Well, I did.
01:03:46I don't love Brad.
01:03:47I know now that I've never loved him.
01:03:50So has been David.
01:03:53When you drove him out of my life with your smug ideas of what was good for me,
01:03:58you smashed my one chance for happiness.
01:04:00And what have you made of me?
01:04:02A worthless, dressed-up shell that he despises.
01:04:05Oh, Janet.
01:04:06And you're going to spam me and he heartaches.
01:04:08You are going to make sure of my happiness.
01:04:11What a joke.
01:04:13You not only made a mess of your own life,
01:04:15you've helped me make a mess of mine.
01:04:29You wanted to see me?
01:04:31Yes, David.
01:04:32I must talk to you.
01:04:34Oh, please sit down, won't you?
01:04:42David,
01:04:44you came to me not so long ago and made a lot of accusations.
01:04:48I resented it bitterly.
01:04:50But I see now how right you were and how wrong I was.
01:04:54I should never have meddled with Janet's life or interfered with your love for each other.
01:04:59A little bit too late to do anything about it now, don't you think?
01:05:02Is it, David?
01:05:04You told me then that you still believed in her and were going to fight for her because you loved her.
01:05:09Well, I was a fool.
01:05:11David, you still love her.
01:05:14What difference does that make?
01:05:17The difference of Janet's happiness.
01:05:19It rests with you.
01:05:22Yes, it must.
01:05:24And she's marrying someone else.
01:05:25Oh, no, no, David, she isn't.
01:05:27She broke her engagement today.
01:05:30David, Janet has never loved anybody but you.
01:05:33Oh, look.
01:05:35I've muddled things so...
01:05:41Maybe a struggling young doctor could help.
01:05:44If you'd let him.
01:05:47Don't rub it in.
01:05:52You know what?
01:05:53What?
01:05:54Well, if you weren't so confounded stubborn, this would have been a double wedding.
01:05:57One wedding at a time, please.
01:05:58Well, that's fine.
01:05:59How about next Thursday for another one?
01:06:01Take it up with me later.
01:06:02Right now you're running to the church to see that everything is ready for the one at hand.
01:06:05Oh, Linda, will you fasten me up?
01:06:07I can't see for the life of me why you and Jerry don't put zippers on your creations.
01:06:12Mrs. Howard, the caterer wants to see you.
01:06:14Jerry, you finish this.
01:06:17Jerry, I always play my hunches.
01:06:20On your way down, put this on June Bride in the fifth.
01:06:23She can't possibly lose today.
01:06:26All right.
01:06:27Bye.
01:06:30Anything else, sir?
01:06:31Yes, I want you to take these trousers out and have them pressed in back here in nothing flat.
01:06:35Yes, sir.
01:06:36I'll get Janet for you.
01:06:37All right.
01:06:39Oh, it's lovely, dear.
01:06:42And so are you, Madam Howard.
01:06:44Why, nobody will even see the bride.
01:06:47I'd better dash into my decoration.
01:06:52Hello?
01:06:56Hello, bride.
01:06:57This is your father.
01:06:59Oh.
01:07:01This isn't the bride.
01:07:03This is her mother.
01:07:05How are you, Philip?
01:07:07Splendid.
01:07:09I'm so glad you could get here for the wedding.
01:07:11Here, let me at him.
01:07:14Well, it's about time, darling.
01:07:16I've been worried to death you wouldn't be here.
01:07:18Did David meet you?
01:07:26Yes, Chatterbox.
01:07:27Yes to all of them.
01:07:28David met me.
01:07:29He's with me now.
01:07:30We're at the hotel, and I'm very happy.
01:07:32Now hang up, dear, and let me get dressed, or I'll never get there in time to give you away.
01:07:36Goodbye, darling.
01:07:38Well, I'd better go and dress, or you won't have anyone to give the bride to.
01:07:41Okay, son.
01:07:42I'll meet you at the church.
01:07:46I'm glad it's you, David.
01:07:48So am I.
01:08:02Philip, darling.
01:08:04I so wanted to meet you at the boat, but I couldn't get away from the office.
01:08:08Where are you?
01:08:12When am I going to see you?
01:08:14The very minute I can break away from this wedding business.
01:08:17I'd have stopped on the way up, dear, but there wasn't time.
01:08:20As it is, I'll just barely make it.
01:08:25Oh, glory isn't love grand.
01:08:29I'm sure I don't know, Miss Shelton.
01:08:47Waiting at the church for father.
01:08:51No sign of him yet?
01:08:52No, not yet.
01:08:53Oh, this is terrible.
01:08:54What am I going to do?
01:08:55Now, don't worry, little girl.
01:08:57I'll marry you without a father.
01:08:58You may have to.
01:09:06Janet!
01:09:07David!
01:09:08How dare you hold up my wedding?
01:09:10Promise never to do it again, darling.
01:09:12Come, come.
01:09:13This is my wedding.
01:09:16Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God and in the face of this company
01:09:22to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.
01:09:28David, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife,
01:09:31to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony?

01:09:39in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others,
01:09:43keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
01:09:47I will.
01:09:50Janet, wilt thou have this man to thy wedded husband,
01:09:54to live together after God's ordinance in the holy estate of matrimony?

01:10:02in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others,
01:10:06keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?
01:10:11I will.
01:10:13Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?
01:10:22Repeat after me.
01:10:25I, David, take thee, Janet.
01:10:27I, David, take thee, Janet.
01:10:29To my wedded wife.
01:10:30To my wedded wife.

01:10:41For richer, for poorer.
01:10:42In sickness and in health.

01:10:54According to God's holy ordinance.
01:10:56And thereto I plight thee my troth.
01:10:59And thereto I plight thee my troth.
01:11:01Loose hands.
01:11:03Good evening.
01:11:13Weddings are sort of ghastly things, aren't they?
01:11:18Awful.
01:11:24That ye may so live together in this life.
01:11:26That in the world to come.
01:11:28Ye may have life everlasting.
01:11:31Amen.
01:11:42♪
01:12:11You haven't answered me.
01:12:15Don't tell me all my eloquence has been wasted.
01:12:22What are you thinking about, dear?
01:12:26I'm trying to put myself in her place.
01:12:30Would I be willing to give you up?
01:12:37I'm tired.
01:12:38I've drove around this park sixteen times.
01:12:41Ain't you folks got no home?
01:12:46Have I?
01:12:49What do you think?
01:13:08♪
