00:02:56Oh, wonderful.
00:02:58S'doesn't it, beautiful watch this.
00:03:07Read what's engraved inside, Chris...
00:03:13"...to my friend Christopher Cross."
00:03:17"...in token of 25 years of faithful service..."
00:03:21From J.J. Hogarth, 1909-1934.
00:03:28Speech! Speech!
00:03:29Speak up, Chris! Speak up!
00:03:30Come on, Chris! Speech!
00:03:33Well, I hardly know what to say, J.J.
00:03:40It's beautiful.
00:03:43I never expected to own a watch like this.
00:03:46No, sir, I...
00:03:48Well, all I can say is that we've got the best boss in New York.
00:03:55For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:03:57For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:03:59For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:04:03Which nobody can deny.
00:04:08Congratulations, old boy, congratulations.
00:04:13Thank you, Chris.
00:04:15Thank you, my old friend.
00:04:17God bless you.
00:04:18Thank you.
00:04:19Have a smoke before I go.
00:04:20Well, I don't usually, J.J.
00:04:23Go ahead and try it.
00:04:24It's made special for me.
00:04:25A dollar a piece.
00:04:26Here, Johnny.
00:04:27Oh, thanks.
00:04:38Thank you.
00:04:40You're not superstitious, are you, Chris?
00:04:42No, no, no, no, sir, no.
00:04:45Now, don't break up a good party just because I've got to go.
00:04:48Everything is charged to J.J.
00:04:53So drink all you want.
00:04:55Only, don't come in late Monday morning with a hangover.
00:04:58Don't worry, we won't, we'll be right there on time.
00:05:01Good night, boys.
00:05:02Good night.
00:05:03Thanks again for the smoke.
00:05:04Bye.
00:05:09Oh, boy, aren't you a lucky fellow.
00:05:11I'll trade you a lift for the rest of the night.
00:05:13I'll bet you will.
00:05:16Hey, fellas, look.
00:05:18Look, come here.
00:05:20Hurry.
00:05:30Get a load of that dame.
00:05:33That's J.J.'s wife.
00:05:37The boss is stepping out.
00:05:40Say, if I had the dough he's got, I'd step out too.
00:05:43I feel a little laundry tonight.
00:05:53Nothing like the smell of spring.
00:05:55Which way do you go, Chris?
00:05:57Well, I guess I'll take the east side subway.
00:05:59Gets me to Brooklyn a little quicker.
00:06:04Hey, you haven't got an umbrella.
00:06:06Now, I'll take you to your bus.
00:06:07Oh, no, no, that's out of your way.
00:06:08Oh, I don't mind walking, you know, fresh air, spring.
00:06:12Hey, I'm a little drunk.
00:06:32Well, never mind, I'll catch the next one.
00:06:34You go on over to the subway.
00:06:36Oh, I don't mind waiting.
00:06:37I feel kind of lonely tonight.
00:06:43Say, Charlie,
00:06:46you suppose J.J.'s running around with that young lady?
00:06:49It looks that way.
00:06:53I wonder what it's like.
00:06:55What, Chris?
00:06:57Well, to be loved by a young dear like that.
00:07:01You know, nobody ever looked at me like that.
00:07:03Not even when I was young.
00:07:05Yes, when we're young, we have dreams that never pan out.
00:07:08But we go on dreaming.
00:07:10When I was young, I wanted to be an artist.
00:07:13You know, I dreamt I was going to be a great painter someday.
00:07:16So, I'm a cashier.
00:07:18Do you still paint?
00:07:19Yeah, every Sunday.
00:07:20Well, that's one way to kill time.
00:07:22You know, Sunday's one day of the week that I don't like.
00:07:25I never know what to do with myself.
00:07:26Well, why don't you come over tomorrow and see me?
00:07:28Thanks, Chris, I'll do that.
00:07:33Good night, Chris.
00:07:34Good night, Charlie. I'll see you tomorrow.
00:07:36Yeah, good night.
00:07:54It stopped raining.
00:07:55Yeah, a half hour ago.
00:07:56Oh, which way is it to the east side subway?
00:07:58Around the corner, past the L, four blocks.
00:08:01Oh, thank you, officer. I guess I got turned around.
00:08:03These streets are all mixed up in Greenwich Village.
00:08:05Yeah.
00:08:32Greenwich Village
00:08:53Is he hurt?
00:08:55I'll go call a policeman.
00:08:56No, wait!
00:08:58Wait!
00:09:01Wait!
00:09:08Officer!
00:09:11Officer!
00:09:26Where did he go?
00:09:27In that direction.
00:09:29What does he look like?
00:09:30I don't know.
00:09:31I didn't see his face.
00:09:32He took $15. He didn't believe it was all I had, so he began pushing me around.
00:09:35Then this gentleman ran in and knocked him down.
00:09:37That's right, officer. He was right there.
00:09:39I couldn't hold him. He got up and ran.
00:09:41Wait here.
00:09:45Come on, let's get out of here.
00:09:46Well, we have to wait for the officer.
00:09:47I don't want to get my name in the newspaper, do you?
00:09:49Would the newspaper...
00:09:50Sure, we'll have to go down to the station house and make a complaint.
00:09:52Then every time they make an arrest, they send detectives to your house for weeks.
00:09:55Oh, it's a nuisance.
00:09:58Won't you take me home?
00:09:59Why, yes.
00:10:01Well, sure, that is...
00:10:03Well, if you think that...
00:10:06Well, here's where I live.
00:10:12Oh, I'm sorry I can't ask you to come up,
00:10:15but I share my apartment with another girl, Millie.
00:10:19Good night, and thanks for everything.
00:10:23Don't you...
00:10:25Don't you want a cup of coffee?
00:10:26Coffee?
00:10:29All right.
00:10:46Hello, Kitty.
00:10:47Hello, Johnny.
00:10:48Oh, this is Mr...
00:10:50Cross.
00:10:51Glad to know you, Mr. Cross.
00:10:53How do you do?
00:10:54You seen Johnny?
00:10:57No, not since he left here.
00:11:00Two coffees, please.
00:11:01Oh, I think I'll change my mind.
00:11:02I could stand a drink.
00:11:03A rum Collins.
00:11:05One rum Collins?
00:11:06Yes, yes.
00:11:07Oh, come on.
00:11:08Keep me company.
00:11:10Well, you see, I've already had a good deal of champagne.
00:11:14You want champagne?
00:11:15Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:17Make mine the same.
00:11:18Ever since I first saw you, I...
00:11:20I was wondering what your name was.
00:11:22Kitty.
00:11:23It's really Cat...
00:11:26Catherine.
00:11:28Catherine March.
00:11:30My friends call me Kitty.
00:11:33What do your friends call you?
00:11:36Chris.
00:11:38Chris...
00:11:39Cross.
00:11:41Chris Cross.
00:11:42Yes, the boys tease me about it,
00:11:44but I don't mind.
00:11:57Why are you looking at me?
00:12:00Is my face dirty?
00:12:02It's beautiful.
00:12:04I'll bet it is.
00:12:09Gee, I'm a sight.
00:12:11Gee, I'm a sight.
00:12:16Oh, thank you, sir.
00:12:22Cheers, Chris.
00:12:25Oh, Miss March.
00:12:28Kitty.
00:12:29Yes, Miss... I mean...
00:12:31Kitty.
00:12:34Well, look, Kitty.
00:12:37Since I'm old enough to be your father...
00:12:39You're not so old.
00:12:41You don't think so?
00:12:42Well, you're not a boy, you're just...
00:12:46mature.
00:12:48I like mature people.
00:12:50Well, what I wanted to say was...
00:12:53you shouldn't be alone in the street so late at night.
00:12:57I was coming home from work.
00:13:00You work this late?
00:13:01Mm-hmm.
00:13:03What do you do?
00:13:06Guest.
00:13:10You're an actress.
00:13:12Oh, you are clever.
00:13:14Now that you know all about me, tell me about yourself.
00:13:17What do you do?
00:13:18I?
00:13:19I...
00:13:21Well, you see...
00:13:22No, no, don't tell me.
00:13:24You work in a bank?
00:13:25No.
00:13:26Well, let's see.
00:13:28Greenwich Village is full of artists.
00:13:30I meet you in Greenwich Village.
00:13:32You must be an artist, right?
00:13:34Well, I...
00:13:36Yes, yes, I paint.
00:13:37Of course, you're a painter.
00:13:39I love paintings.
00:13:41To think I took you for a cashier.
00:13:43Oh, no.
00:13:45You know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue?
00:13:47The prices they charge.
00:13:49I saw one little picture that cost $50,000.
00:13:52They called it, uh...
00:13:54Cezanne.
00:13:56Cezanne.
00:13:57Oh, he was a great French painter.
00:13:59I'd like to own that painting.
00:14:01You would?
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:04For $50,000?
00:14:05For $50,000?
00:14:07Well, you can't put any price on masterpieces like that.
00:14:10They're worth, uh...
00:14:12Well, whatever you can afford to pay for them.
00:14:15You know what, Chris?
00:14:17I bet I saw some of your pictures there and didn't know it.
00:14:19Next time, I'll look for your name.
00:14:21Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:14:23I don't sell my pictures.
00:14:25Well, not in New York, you mean.
00:14:27No, I...
00:14:28I know.
00:14:30I bet you sell your pictures in Europe.
00:14:32France or someplace like that.
00:14:33You can tell I don't know much about painting.
00:14:35I bet you get as much for your pictures in France
00:14:38as those Frenchmen get right here in New York.
00:14:40And you never appreciate it in your own country.
00:14:43Well, that's one way of looking at it.
00:14:46But you know, when I paint,
00:14:48I don't think of money.
00:14:50I just paint for fun.
00:14:52Fun?
00:14:53Yes, I think it's the most fun I know, painting.
00:14:56I wish I had all the time to paint.
00:14:59Don't you have time?
00:15:00Oh, no.
00:15:01Well, yes.
00:15:02You see, I...
00:15:05Well, you know,
00:15:07business takes a lot of time.
00:15:09No wonder, when you get all that money.
00:15:11Well, what play are you acting in?
00:15:15It closed tonight.
00:15:16Which one?
00:15:17The one I was in. What time is it?
00:15:25It's only ten past two.
00:15:27Only?
00:15:28Oh, it's time for Kitty to be in bed.
00:15:35So you won't forget me.
00:15:38Thank you.
00:15:40Can't I see you again?
00:15:41Oh, sure, sometime.
00:15:43Well, if you'll give me your telephone number.
00:15:44I haven't got a phone.
00:15:45Well, may I write you?
00:15:47That's the address.
00:15:48Good night, Chris.
00:15:49Kitty, who's Johnny?
00:15:52Why do you ask that?
00:15:54Well, I just heard you ask the bartender.
00:15:56Oh, sure, he's just a fellow I know.
00:15:58He's Millie's boyfriend.
00:16:00You know, the girl I live with.
00:16:01Good night, Chris.
00:16:02Good night, Kitty.
00:16:25Christopher!
00:16:42Christopher!
00:16:48Christopher!
00:16:51Yes, Adele?
00:16:55Yes.
00:17:05Well, well, this is a pleasure.
00:17:08I didn't expect to see you, Charlie.
00:17:10But, Chris, you asked me.
00:17:14My wife.
00:17:16Well, it's good to see you anyway.
00:17:19Hey, that was a swell party last night, wasn't it, Charlie?
00:17:23Say, what time will we go home?
00:17:25After midnight, wasn't it?
00:17:29You know, I haven't been to bed yet.
00:17:30You haven't?
00:17:31I guess I'm not as old as I thought I was, eh, Charlie?
00:17:33No, no.
00:17:35Oh, I've got to do the dishes for Adele.
00:17:38You don't mind, Charlie, do you?
00:17:39No, no, no, no, right ahead.
00:17:49Say, did you paint this?
00:17:52Great Scott, no.
00:17:53That isn't painting, that's mud.
00:17:55Done by a photographer.
00:17:56Who is it?
00:17:58The late departed.
00:18:01Oh, your wife's former husband.
00:18:03Detective Sergeant Higgins.
00:18:06Homer Higgins.
00:18:08Say, that's a real medal, isn't it?
00:18:10Yeah.
00:18:12Adele got it.
00:18:14Your wife?
00:18:16Yeah.
00:18:17After he was drowned in the East River.
00:18:20Jumped in to save a woman.
00:18:21Neither body was found.
00:18:23Oh.
00:18:25Too bad.
00:18:26Yeah.
00:18:28Too bad.
00:18:38Oh, thank you, Charlie.
00:18:39No problem.
00:18:42How long have you been married, Chris?
00:18:45Five years.
00:18:48Well, that'll do.
00:18:50Well, uh,
00:18:52she, uh,
00:18:54didn't want to spend his insurance money,
00:18:55and so she rented out the spare room.
00:18:59Only four dollars a week.
00:19:01Well, I was trying to save money to buy paints,
00:19:04and so I moved in.
00:19:06Oh, she was sweet.
00:19:08Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth.
00:19:12And, uh,
00:19:15well, you know how these things go.
00:19:18Smoke?
00:19:19No.
00:19:21I guess we better not have.
00:19:28Where are your paintings, Chris?
00:19:30Oh, they're out in the hall.
00:19:31Uh, would you like to see what I did today?
00:19:33Yes, I'd like to.
00:19:48Where did you find, uh,
00:19:50a flower like that?
00:19:54You mean
00:19:56you see this when you look at that?
00:19:59Well, yes.
00:20:00That is, I sort of feel it.
00:20:03You see, when I look at that flower,
00:20:05I see someone...
00:20:07Isn't anything private in this house?
00:20:11I'm sorry, Adele.
00:20:14We'd better get out of here.
00:20:16We'd better get out of here.
00:20:24All right, Adele.
00:20:29Bringing people in here, is that...
00:20:46All your tears are foolish fancy, baby.
00:20:55You know, dear, that I'm in love with you.
00:21:12Can't you get those lazy legs off that couch, baby?
00:21:15Come here.
00:21:18Can't you do any better than that?
00:21:20That's all you think about, lazy legs, hmm?
00:21:23What else is there to think about?
00:21:31If you want more heat in this apartment, miss,
00:21:33you'll have to call a janitor.
00:21:34You idiot.
00:21:36How come you're holding out on me, baby?
00:21:38Oh, stop talking about Saturday night.
00:21:41I'm not talking about Saturday night.
00:21:43I'm talking about this.
00:21:46Sounds like a schoolboy trying to make a date.
00:21:49You must be robbing the cradle.
00:21:51What's so funny?
00:21:53You are. He's old enough to be my father.
00:21:55That's the old fellow who came to my rescue Saturday night.
00:21:58My hero.
00:22:00No kidding.
00:22:02See? You were too tight to remember anything.
00:22:04If I hadn't told the cop to go in the wrong direction,
00:22:06he'd have picked you up.
00:22:08This the old fellow who butted in?
00:22:10The painter?
00:22:12He's rich and famous and very sweet too, Johnny.
00:22:15He doesn't pull any rough stuff like you.
00:22:18Well, I had a chance to clean up in a crap game.
00:22:20All I needed was 50 bucks.
00:22:22And what did you show up with?
00:22:24Fifteen, for cat's sake.
00:22:26That's all I had.
00:22:28Besides, you kept me waiting two hours in the rain.
00:22:30And then you gave me a dirty look.
00:22:32I didn't give you a dirty look.
00:22:34Listen, any girl who waits two hours in the rain for a guy
00:22:37is gonna give him a dirty look.
00:22:41Trouble with you, baby, is you have no imagination.
00:22:44What do you expect me to do?
00:22:46I expect you to use your brains.
00:22:49But for cat's sake, this chump is crazy about you.
00:22:52This is a setup.
00:22:54He's into big money, isn't he?
00:22:56You said 50,000 a picture, didn't you?
00:22:58Here I am, knocking my brains out,
00:23:00trying to raise a little capital,
00:23:02and this is right in your lap.
00:23:04You don't have to call what's-his-name
00:23:06and get a measly 50.
00:23:08This bird is goofy about you.
00:23:09Write him, date him up.
00:23:11Oh, I can't take money off an old man like that.
00:23:18For cat's sake, get big-hearted.
00:23:20And smart, lazy legs.
00:23:22Why see fellas in the big door without half my brains?
00:23:25But ability isn't enough.
00:23:27You gotta have money to make money.
00:23:29Capital.
00:23:31The boys at the Acme Garage are cutting me in
00:23:33on a half-interest if I can put up the money.
00:23:35How much do they want?
00:23:37Oh, three or four thousand.
00:23:39For cat's sake, I'm not talking about chicken feed.
00:23:42Use your imagination.
00:23:44You get an interest in a business like that,
00:23:46and it's a cinch to squeeze out your partners.
00:23:49Then you're on easy street.
00:23:51Jeepers, the pipe dreams you have.
00:23:54Now, what about the letter?
00:23:56Oh, I can get 50 or 100, perhaps,
00:23:58but I can't get the kind of money you're talking about.
00:24:00I wouldn't know how.
00:24:03Johnny!
00:24:05Johnny, where are you going?
00:24:07Well, I won't be wasting my time.
00:24:09Johnny!
00:24:15Oh, I don't know why I'm so crazy about you.
00:24:18Oh, yes, you do.
00:24:20Now, what about my proposition?
00:24:23You don't have to tap the old chump for much,
00:24:26not at first.
00:24:28We'll get you a decent apartment,
00:24:30someplace where I'll like to come and see you,
00:24:32not a dump like this.
00:24:34Well, lazy legs?
00:24:36May I come into my own apartment?
00:24:37Hello, funny face.
00:24:39Why don't you just move in, Johnny?
00:24:41Then I can move out.
00:24:43No, Milly, stop picking on my fiancée.
00:24:45How do you spell that word?
00:24:47With an F, like in funny face.
00:24:49She pays half the rent, doesn't she?
00:24:51Well, that was the general idea, big shot,
00:24:53when we signed the lease.
00:24:55Well, I don't mind if you want this place to yourself.
00:24:57Do you, baby?
00:25:02What's he mean by that?
00:25:04Oh, nothing. You know Johnny.
00:25:05Yeah, I know Johnny all right.
00:25:07Has he bought you that engagement ring yet?
00:25:09Oh, you seem to worry more about it than I do.
00:25:19The new $45 model.
00:25:21Old Rogers let me have it for $18.
00:25:23Bet he made a profit at that.
00:25:25I thought you were modeling girdles for the catalog.
00:25:27I have been.
00:25:30I ache like a dog.
00:25:32Of course, if it's ever come back,
00:25:33I swear I'll quit modeling.
00:25:39Why don't you go back to work?
00:25:41That figure.
00:25:43If you weren't so darn lazy.
00:25:45Who do you think you are?
00:25:47My guardian angel?
00:25:49Not me, honey.
00:25:51I lost those wings a long time ago.
00:25:53That's what I thought.
00:25:55No wonder you got fired.
00:25:57You're so darn snippy.
00:25:59You never could get to work on time
00:26:01after you met that Johnny.
00:26:03I wish it could happen to you.
00:26:05Don't you wish it could happen to you?
00:26:07I'm in love, crazy in love
00:26:09with a man that pushes you around
00:26:11the way I wouldn't push a cat around.
00:26:13You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:15With your looks, I figure you could get any man you want.
00:26:17Sure, but there's only one I want.
00:26:19Yeah, and he's making a tramp out of you.
00:26:21You wouldn't know love if it hit you in the face.
00:26:23If that's where it hits you, you ought to know.
00:26:33I'm in love, crazy in love
00:26:35with a man that pushes you around
00:26:37the way I wouldn't push a cat around.
00:26:39You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:41With your looks, I figure you could get any man you want.
00:26:43You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:45You wouldn't know love if it hit you in the face.
00:26:47If that's where it hits you, you ought to know.
00:26:49You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:51You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:53You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:55You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:57You leave Johnny out of this.
00:26:59You leave Johnny out of this.
00:27:01You leave Johnny out of this.
00:27:04You leave Johnny out of this.
00:27:11That Robinson's just like I'd feel.
00:27:13They look, there's a pair of them up there,
00:27:16they're building their nest.
00:27:23Say, where'd you learn that?
00:27:25When I was a kid.
00:27:28Yeah, I bet I haven't done that in 40 years.
00:27:31Yeah, I feel like a kid myself today.
00:27:37Sold any pictures lately?
00:27:40Why don't you paint my picture?
00:27:42I'd like to.
00:27:44Could I bring my easel to your apartment?
00:27:46Oh, I'm afraid my girlfriend wouldn't like that.
00:27:48How long does it take you to paint a picture?
00:27:50Well, sometimes a day, sometimes a year.
00:27:54You can't tell. It has to grow.
00:27:56I never knew paint could grow.
00:27:58Well, feeling grows.
00:28:00You know, that's the important thing, feeling.
00:28:02Well, now you take me.
00:28:04Well, nobody ever taught me how to draw,
00:28:06so I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things.
00:28:09Yeah, I see.
00:28:11It's like, uh...
00:28:13It's like falling in love, I guess.
00:28:16You know, first you see someone,
00:28:19and it keeps growing,
00:28:21until you can't think of anyone else.
00:28:24That's interesting.
00:28:26Well, the way I look at things, that's all art is.
00:28:29Every painting, if it's any good, is a love affair.
00:28:33I never heard anyone talk like that before.
00:28:36Oh, well, uh...
00:28:38There aren't many people you can talk to this way.
00:28:42So you keep it to yourself.
00:28:44You walk around with everything bottled up.
00:28:47Yeah, that's right.
00:28:49That's the way it is with me, too.
00:28:52I'm sort of keeping things bottled up, too, Chris.
00:28:56The truth is, I'm in a jam.
00:28:58You, Kitty?
00:29:00Oh, you probably guessed it. I'm broke.
00:29:02Even this dress belongs to Millie.
00:29:04I can't pay my rent.
00:29:06Well, how much is it?
00:29:08Oh, forget it.
00:29:10I shouldn't have told you.
00:29:14It'll spoil your day.
00:29:16Oh, but Kitty...
00:29:17I'll get out of it somehow.
00:29:18I couldn't take anything from you, Chris.
00:29:20No, uh, yes, I mean...
00:29:22No, no, I couldn't.
00:29:23I've never taken money from a man, and I'm not going to now.
00:29:26And I'm not going to spoil our friendship.
00:29:28Oh, but Kitty, uh...
00:29:30I couldn't pay you back.
00:29:32Oh.
00:29:35Chris, maybe I could pay you back.
00:29:38If you put up the money for a studio apartment,
00:29:40then I'd have a place to live and you could paint there.
00:29:43Don't you see?
00:29:45You could paint my portrait.
00:29:48What's the matter?
00:29:50Don't you want to paint my picture?
00:29:52There's something I've got to tell you, Kitty.
00:29:54What?
00:29:55I deceived you.
00:29:57I lied.
00:30:01I'm a married man, Kitty.
00:30:06Why didn't you tell me, Chris?
00:30:09You know I'm not the kind of girl to run around with a married man, don't you?
00:30:13You know what you said about meeting someone,
00:30:16how you begin to like them,
00:30:18and you can't think about anybody else?
00:30:22You should have told me you had a wife, Chris.
00:30:25Yes, but I'm not in love with her, Kitty.
00:30:27Well, you married her.
00:30:28Well, I was lonely. I couldn't stand my loneliness.
00:30:33Oh, poor Chris.
00:30:36Well, then you're not angry with me?
00:30:38I suppose I ought to be, but...
00:30:40I'm not.
00:30:42Not with you, Chris.
00:30:44And I'm going to let you help me.
00:30:46How much do you need?
00:30:47Five hundred dollars.
00:31:10Five hundred dollars.
00:31:41I need five hundred dollars.
00:31:44I could pay it back ten dollars a week.
00:31:47That's all right, Mr. Cross.
00:31:49But you'll have to have a co-signer.
00:31:51Thank you, no.
00:31:52Property owner.
00:31:54Property owner?
00:31:55Just a formality.
00:32:00Thank you very much.
00:32:02Anytime.
00:32:04Well, why can't an old skinflint Hogarth give you a raise?
00:32:09You don't even make enough money to buy me a radio.
00:32:11I have to run downstairs every night to listen to the radio.
00:32:14The way I have to scrimp and save and you wasting money on paints.
00:32:18I'd like to know what you'd do without me.
00:32:21Poor dear Homer.
00:32:23If only he had a grave where I could put some flowers.
00:32:26Why, you couldn't even ask me to marry you.
00:32:28I had to put the words into your mouth.
00:32:30I'd have been better off a widow.
00:32:32The only reason I put up with you is because I'm married to you.
00:32:35I'm stuck.
00:32:36Yes, and I'm stuck too.
00:32:38Have you been drinking?
00:32:40No, I haven't.
00:32:42Let me smell your breath.
00:32:45No.
00:32:47Then what's the matter with you?
00:32:48Why are you shouting at me?
00:32:50Well, you keep blaming me for not buying you a radio.
00:32:52But you think I like running downstairs every night to listen to the radio?
00:32:55Well, why don't you buy a radio? You have money.
00:32:57His insurance money?
00:32:59Well, I don't want a radio. You want it.
00:33:00I'll never touch those bonds.
00:33:02They're for my old age.
00:33:04If Homer were alive, I'd have a radio.
00:33:06He made a good salary.
00:33:08He gave me a good home.
00:33:10Well, you're living in the same apartment, aren't you?
00:33:12Yes.
00:33:13But it didn't smell of paint.
00:33:15I can't sleep with the smell of paint.
00:33:17And all your silly pictures cluttering up the hall.
00:33:19If you don't get rid of that trash, I swear I'll give it to the junk man.
00:33:25Adele.
00:33:26I will.
00:33:28I swear I will.
00:33:30And the things you paint.
00:33:32It was bad enough when you used to copy picture postcards.
00:33:35Well, Utrilio copies postcards, and he's considered a great painter.
00:33:39And now I suppose you're copying Utrillo, or whatever his name is.
00:33:43They're getting crazier all the time.
00:33:45Oh, yes.
00:33:46I saw what you're doing.
00:33:48Girls.
00:33:49Snakes.
00:33:51Next thing you'll be painting women without clothes.
00:33:53I never saw a woman without any clothes.
00:33:55I should hope not.
00:34:03The Happy Household Hours.
00:34:05Just coming on, dear.
00:34:07I'll be right down, daughter.
00:34:09Mr. Cross came home late.
00:34:14Go ahead and eat.
00:34:16And then do the dishes.
00:34:18This is the Happy Household Hours.
00:34:20Brought to you at this time by Happy Hour Bubble Suds.
00:34:24No soap gives you more happiness, more washings, and more suds per package
00:34:30than Happy Hour Bubble Suds.
00:34:32Ask your nearest grocer for the large, economy-sized package today.
00:34:37And now for the next episode of Hilda's Hope for Happiness.
00:34:41As you remember, we left Hilda in the laundry washer.
00:34:44The Bubble Suds, Hilda.
00:35:00Christopher!
00:35:30Christopher!
00:35:38Christopher!
00:35:45What are you doing?
00:35:47I was, uh, I was looking for the paper.
00:35:50A blind.
00:35:51Oh.
00:35:52Well, uh, didn't you, uh, didn't you like the radio?
00:35:55It went off right in the middle of a program.
00:35:57I wouldn't have such a radio.
00:36:01Hey, uh, did you read this?
00:36:03Read what?
00:36:04Uh, this murder in Queens.
00:36:06A man killed his wife with a window weight.
00:36:09Put a body in the trunk and shipped her to California.
00:36:11It says here...
00:36:12I've read the paper, thank you.
00:36:14He didn't get away with it, did he?
00:36:16He'll go to the chair, as he should.
00:36:18Yeah.
00:36:19Man hasn't got a chance with these New York detectives.
00:36:22Can't you put that paper down and do the dishes?
00:36:31Thank you.
00:36:43Adele, you didn't mean what you said about giving my pendings away to the junk man.
00:36:48You'll find out.
00:36:51Well, uh, you won't have to.
00:36:54A friend of mine is taking an apartment in Greenwich Village.
00:36:57I'll move everything there.
00:36:59Well, if he's fool enough to let you do it, go ahead.
00:37:02The sooner the better.
00:37:03Yeah.
00:37:08Top floor.
00:37:09You'll get plenty of light.
00:37:11Lots of privacy.
00:37:13Uh, you've heard about this, haven't you?
00:37:15Yeah.
00:37:16You'll get plenty of light.
00:37:17Lots of privacy.
00:37:19Uh, you've heard of Tony Rivera, the illustrator?
00:37:22He had this apartment on a three-year lease.
00:37:25Couldn't work anywhere else.
00:37:27Uh, this was his studio.
00:37:30The sketches on the wall are Rivera's.
00:37:33He'd do that with his models sometimes when he was working on a magazine cover.
00:37:37Some people pay a lot of money for those.
00:37:40Are you an artist, Miss March?
00:37:42Uh-huh.
00:37:43Where's the bedroom?
00:37:44Oh, uh, this way.
00:37:49What's the rent, Mr. Jones?
00:37:51One hundred and fifty.
00:37:53Oh, there are some things that Rivera left here stored in the basement.
00:37:56They go with the apartment if you care to use them.
00:37:59Here they are.
00:38:00Bedroom.
00:38:05I don't like the wallpaper.
00:38:07Will they change the paper?
00:38:09I guess so, on a year's lease.
00:38:12I'll check it out myself.
00:38:43Oh, yeah.
00:39:03Well, don't break the bed.
00:39:06Hello, Lazy Lace.
00:39:08Oh, I thought I heard the doorbell.
00:39:10doorbell. Say is this all you've got? I'm lucky I have that left the way you were
00:39:23throwing it around last night. You even bought me a book honey. You're supposed
00:39:29to be an actress aren't you? Shakespeare for Pete's sake. Say that's all I have
00:39:42left. You know where to get more don't you lazy legs? Told me hadn't sold any
00:39:47pictures for a long time and I'm in hock for all this.
00:39:59Look Kitty I need at least a thousand dollars. Ouch. Well you got him softened up now push
00:40:18him around a bit. He seems to get scared when I talk about money. Listen baby you got him
00:40:24right where you want him. He's on the hook and can't get off. He can walk out
00:40:28can't he? He's got a wife hasn't he? Just drop a hint that his wife might find out
00:40:33about this apartment and he'll shell out fast. That's blackmail. It's only
00:40:38blackmail baby when you're dumb enough to get caught. Is that him? Told you I heard
00:40:47the doorbell. For cat's sake get rid of him.
00:41:17Why? Don't you answer doorbells? Thought you were mad at me. Peace offering scotch. Thanks honey. I didn't think you were out it's only
00:41:3210 past 12. I rang and rang downstairs and I found the door was open. Well well well. You're doing
00:41:42all right for a working girl. Don't start that again. Don't tell me he's under the
00:41:52sofa too. No bright eyes. You can come out Johnny. All you have to do is call funny
00:42:00face. You must have made a killing in Wall Street Mr. Prince. Could be. Last time I saw Johnny he was
00:42:09toying by going to Hollywood. I might try it yet. Well I read in a movie magazine about a
00:42:14fellow who landed in Hollywood stone broke and cleaned up a million. No
00:42:18experience either. All he had was looks and he worked in a drugstore. If he
00:42:23worked Johnny he didn't look like you. Oh you two stop fighting. I'm not fighting
00:42:27baby. She just doesn't know my speed. Why here are movie actors getting five ten
00:42:31thousand a week? For what? For acting tough? For pushing girls in the face? What do
00:42:37they do I can't do. You're so clever why don't you do it? I might funny face. I might.
00:42:43Chris. I thought over some of my things Kitty. I'll bring some more tomorrow. I rest on Saturday.
00:42:59Oh you have company. Just Millie and Johnny. You know Millie's boyfriend. Come on I want you to
00:43:08meet them. Millie this is a friend of mine Mr. Cross. Miss Ray. How do you do Miss Ray? Pleased
00:43:14to meet you Mr. Cross. And Johnny Prince. Glad to know you Mr. Cross. How do you do? Seems to me
00:43:23I've seen you before somewhere. Could be. Could be Mr. Cross. Yes I I just don't seem to remember.
00:43:30Maybe I'm mistaken. Could be. Well I'll run along kid. I'll go with you sweetheart. Oh don't bother
00:43:40Johnny. I wouldn't think of letting you go alone darling. You might get run over by a streetcar.
00:43:45Goodbye Mr. Cross. Nice to see you. Thanks for the scotch Millie. That's okay. Bye. What's the matter
00:44:04Chris? I don't think I like that young man she's in love with. Oh Johnny's alright. Oh I know he is
00:44:11or he wouldn't be a friend but there's something about him that. She's crazy about him. Would you
00:44:19would you like to see my pictures? Not yet. Come sit down Chris. You happy? For the first time in my
00:44:31life. Very happy. I think of you all the time. All I want is to see you. Be near you. I know I haven't any
00:44:43right to ask you this but have you ever well there must have been other men who. Just one Chris. You
00:44:57still see him? I've forgotten him. Look Kitty if I were single if I had no wife. But you have a wife. Yes I
00:45:11know but if she'd well if something would happen that would make me free would you marry me? Oh let's
00:45:21not talk about it now dear. What I'm worried about is getting a job. Living like this it's expensive. I don't like to ask
00:45:29you for anything more because well you say you haven't sold any pictures lately. Yes but don't you have enough
00:45:35money? No you have no idea what a problem money is for an actress Chris. Talent doesn't count in the theater.
00:45:39Everything is pull, contacts, knowing the right people. You have to get an agent they charge plenty. Wear smart
00:45:45clothes be attractive. Oh but Kitty you're beautiful. Oh Chris your face doesn't mean a thing. It's clothes, perfumes,
00:45:55making the right impression. An actress needs a thousand dollars just to get a decent wardrobe. A thousand dollars? At
00:46:01least. Maybe I can borrow it from Millie or her boyfriend Johnny. He's got plenty of money. Oh no no no Kitty not from
00:46:13Johnny. Why not? Well I'll get you the money some way. Chris you're a darling. I really believe you're in love with me. I am Kitty I am.
00:46:27Chris you're a caveman. I like you to like me but well there's a limit. Yes I know.
00:46:37Oh I've got to go I'm supposed to be back. I'll come here tomorrow noon Kitty. I'll be waiting for you. I'm sorry you have to go. Bye bye dear.
00:46:54Oh don't forget the money. I'll get it. Bye bye Chris. Goodbye.
00:47:55I don't get it. The poor sap must be a hop head seeing snakes on the air. Imagine anyone paying money for this stuff. Say are you sure he's not a phony?
00:48:08He's too dumb to be a phony. You're right there. And how would he get all the money? Why if he had to work for a living he couldn't make
00:48:17$50 a week. You just don't know art. Maybe not but I'm gonna find out about it. I kind of like this one. But where would you find flowers like that?
00:48:29I wonder if I couldn't sell these. And what do I do when he asks where they are? Say you put them in storage. You know you got to protect them. You can't leave valuable paintings lying around where somebody can pick them up.
00:48:42You'd get in trouble. Any gallery would know his work. He tried to kiss me today. And don't think I liked it. You've been kissed before. Say they're not even signed.
00:48:56That doesn't matter. They'd know him. Not where I take them baby. Johnny I can't stand to have anybody touch me but you. I hate him when he looks at me like that.
00:49:07If he were mean or vicious or if he bawled me out or something I'd like him better. You don't love me or you'd understand what I mean.
00:49:15No? No.
00:49:29No? Well maybe.
00:49:37Working late tonight Mr. Cross? I'm about through Ben. You can let me out in a minute. Yes sir.
00:50:07I just caught you in time.
00:50:25Cash this for me will you Chris? It's personal. Yes, yes. Yes of course J.J.
00:50:30Cash this for me will you Chris? It's personal. Yes, yes. Yes of course J.J.
00:50:36Good night J.J. Thank you Chris. Good night. Good night J.J.
00:51:07Hello man. Hi.
00:51:23What do you got? The fella that painted those gets 50 grand for a single picture.
00:51:31Hey what's the matter with you?
00:51:33Hey what's the matter with you Nick? Where'd you pick them up over in Washington Square?
00:51:38The village long hairs are peddling junk like that for the price of the canvas.
00:51:42These weren't painted by any village long hair.
00:51:45That's my pawn shop isn't it? And that snake is strictly from the Bronx.
00:51:50This fella lives in Brooklyn. He's famous. Yeah what's his name?
00:51:53Well I... Look Nick I brought you stuff before and you never asked for any name on it.
00:51:59That was jewelry. Bring me some more of that and we can do business Johnny.
00:52:03Take this junk back to Washington Square where you got it.
00:52:29I can see you've got an eye for art. That's one of my best.
00:52:34Take a look at these.
00:52:37Oh I didn't know you were a painter.
00:52:40I'm not a painter. I'm a painter.
00:52:44I'm a painter.
00:52:47I'm a painter.
00:52:50I'm a painter.
00:52:53I'm a painter.
00:52:56I'm a painter.
00:52:59I'm not.
00:53:04Are they any good?
00:53:07Well they've got something.
00:53:10A certain peculiar something.
00:53:14With no perspective. Is that important?
00:53:17I should say it is. Look at my painting.
00:53:21Where did you buy them? I didn't buy them. I want to sell them.
00:53:24Oh you want me to sell them on commission? How much do you think they're worth?
00:53:27You always start everything at 25.
00:53:30Then you know it's a hard business selling pictures.
00:53:33People don't buy art nowadays.
00:53:36No appreciation, no taste, no perception.
00:53:39And no perspective.
00:53:44Let me have your name and address.
00:53:47I'll come back later. So long.
00:53:50Hello, Joey. Hiya, Tiny.
00:53:55Well where'd you get that?
00:53:58Off Nick.
00:54:00Well what about my ring?
00:54:02You know how much a good diamond costs?
00:54:04I gave you $900.
00:54:06Well you pipe down.
00:54:09You've been telling me what a dope the old guy is.
00:54:12Maybe you're the dope.
00:54:15He tells you his paintings are worth a lot of money.
00:54:18Did you check up on his story?
00:54:20What's wrong with it?
00:54:22They're worth just 25 bucks a piece.
00:54:24That's what's wrong with you.
00:54:26You're crazy.
00:54:29I'm not crazy.
00:54:32I'm not crazy.
00:54:35I'm not crazy.
00:54:37You're crazy.
00:54:40If I weren't a gentleman.
00:54:42Well don't get sore.
00:54:44Well then don't tell me I'm crazy.
00:54:52I tell you, the old boy's a phony.
00:54:54His money isn't phony, is it?
00:54:56He could borrow dough or have it stashed away.
00:54:58Or even steal it.
00:55:00Chris Steele? Jeepers, Johnny.
00:55:02He's not the type. He wouldn't have nerve enough to steal.
00:55:04Well he didn't get it from his pictures.
00:55:07He's dumb, but not about art.
00:55:09The day he took me to the museum he explained how everything was done.
00:55:11You should have heard him. People stood around and listened.
00:55:14What museum?
00:55:16The Metropolitan. Yipe.
00:55:18They've got pictures there worth a million bucks.
00:55:25Where are you going?
00:55:32I'm going to make a monkey out of you, lazy legs.
00:55:34You can't take his pictures to the museum.
00:55:36Who says I can't?
00:55:52You know who bought them?
00:55:54Janeway.
00:55:56A Damon Janeway.
00:55:58Don't you know who Mr. Janeway is?
00:56:00He's an art critic.
00:56:02The best authority in New York on modern art.
00:56:05He took one look and bought them both.
00:56:07I couldn't even give him my pictures.
00:56:09Not for nothing.
00:56:11He wants to get hold of you.
00:56:13He told me to telephone him.
00:56:15You wait here.
00:56:18Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:56:38For cat's sake, what's so funny?
00:56:40You are smarty pants.
00:56:42You're the Mr. Fix-It who's going to make a monkey
00:56:44out of poor dopey little Kitty.
00:56:46So you gave away two pictures for a couple of dimes
00:56:48and now you can't collect the dimes.
00:56:50Oh, dry up.
00:56:52Jeepers.
00:56:54Now what?
00:56:56What am I going to tell Chris?
00:56:58He won't find out.
00:57:00The heck he won't. That Janeway's a critic.
00:57:02He writes for the newspapers.
00:57:04Golly, you got us in a spot.
00:57:06I told you not to do it.
00:57:08You're just nervous.
00:57:10The old guy who sold them doesn't know me from Adam.
00:57:12Say, give me that drink. I can use it.
00:57:15Chris?
00:57:17Uh-uh. He's got a key.
00:57:19Well, go ahead.
00:57:21See who it is. Hurry up.
00:57:33Oh, I beg your pardon,
00:57:35but we're looking for a man
00:57:37and I'm afraid I don't know his name.
00:57:39Oh, and I'm afraid I can't help you.
00:57:41I'm sorry.
00:57:43Oh, look!
00:57:49There!
00:57:51These are his...
00:57:53Oh, there he is.
00:57:57Why did you run away from me like that, huh?
00:57:59Here.
00:58:01$50 less 20%.
00:58:03I don't know what you're talking about.
00:58:05But the pictures you brought me.
00:58:07Perhaps we'd better introduce ourselves.
00:58:09My name is Janeway. This is Mr. Delaro.
00:58:12What is it you want?
00:58:14We'd like to find out who painted the pictures.
00:58:16You don't know?
00:58:18Of course they don't know.
00:58:20That's what we're here for.
00:58:22Look, if you're a friend of the painter,
00:58:24you will put Mr. Delaro in touch with him.
00:58:26Why'd you buy those pictures
00:58:28if you don't know who painted them?
00:58:30Because they're good.
00:58:32Who painted them?
00:58:35No, Johnny, no!
00:58:37Oh, don't be so modest, Miss March.
00:58:39Now, you see, you got me in bed.
00:58:41She made me promise not to tell.
00:58:43That's why I made out like I didn't know.
00:58:49She's funny about her painting.
00:58:51Never lets anyone see it.
00:58:53Doesn't even put her name on her pictures.
00:58:55So I observed.
00:58:57You're an extraordinary artist, Miss March.
00:58:59Oh, no.
00:59:01See, she can't stare for anybody to see.
00:59:03She can't stare for anybody to talk about her.
00:59:05She got the idea pictures weren't any good.
00:59:07That's why I took those two to you
00:59:09to give her confidence.
00:59:11I knew they were good.
00:59:13Now I'll take that money.
00:59:15I never would have guessed it was a woman.
00:59:17Nor I.
00:59:19Your work is very strong, Miss March.
00:59:21May we see some more of it?
00:59:23Sure, go ahead. Look in the studio.
00:59:25Thank you.
00:59:28You're crazy to try a thing like this.
00:59:30For cat's sake.
00:59:32I thought they were cops.
00:59:34I know what I'm doing.
00:59:36They don't know from nothing.
00:59:38I can't fool that critic.
00:59:40You always wanted to be an actress.
00:59:42Now's your chance.
00:59:44You've been around the old boy long enough
00:59:46to pick up his lingo.
00:59:48Feed Janeway some of that.
00:59:50I'll get him in here along with you.
00:59:52No, no, wait.
00:59:54How long has she been painting?
00:59:56Since she was a kid, Mr. Janeway.
00:59:58Never went to art school, did she?
01:00:00No, she just picked it up.
01:00:02I guess I'm the only one who's been encouraging her,
01:00:04kind of helping her along.
01:00:06As a friend, you know, just a friend.
01:00:08Oh, I didn't get your name.
01:00:10Prince.
01:00:14Say, Mr. Janeway,
01:00:16she's kind of upset.
01:00:18Maybe you'd go in
01:00:20and talk to her.
01:00:22I'd be glad to.
01:00:26Well, Mr. Delarose?
01:00:31I wonder if Miss March
01:00:33would let me have all of these.
01:00:35Well, that depends,
01:00:37what's in it for her.
01:00:39Prices will have to be built up,
01:00:41Mr. Prince, but...
01:00:56I can usually tell whether a canvas has been painted
01:00:58by a man or a woman,
01:01:00but you fooled me completely, Miss March.
01:01:02Your work is not only original,
01:01:04it has a masculine force.
01:01:06How long does it take you to paint a picture?
01:01:10Sometimes a day,
01:01:12sometimes a year.
01:01:14You can't tell, it has to grow.
01:01:16Of course.
01:01:18It's a matter of feeling,
01:01:20you know how feeling grows?
01:01:22It's like...
01:01:25falling in love, I guess.
01:01:29That's a very good description.
01:01:31The way I look at it,
01:01:33every painting, if it's any good,
01:01:35is a love affair.
01:01:37May I quote that?
01:01:39Oh, no, no, no, please don't write about me.
01:01:41I can see you're going to be a very hard case.
01:01:43Why don't you have confidence
01:01:45in your work?
01:01:47Because I can't grow.
01:01:49You do, all right.
01:01:51I just put a line around what I feel
01:01:54about certain things.
01:01:56You're a very stimulating person to talk to.
01:01:58How are you two getting along?
01:02:02I think I'm breaking the ice.
01:02:04Kitty, Mr. Delaroe wants to handle
01:02:06all your work exclusively.
01:02:08Is it all right?
01:02:10As a friend, I'd advise it.
01:02:12Could you come to the galleries tomorrow?
01:02:14What time?
01:02:16Any time that's convenient.
01:02:18How about 12 o'clock,
01:02:20and then lunch afterward with me?
01:02:22She'll be there.
01:02:24I'm glad you're around, Mr. Prince,
01:02:26to make up her mind for it.
01:02:28I can see you're tired, Miss March.
01:02:30This has been enough for one evening.
01:02:32We'd better go. Until tomorrow?
01:02:34Thanks, Mr. Janeway. So long.
01:02:36Good evening.
01:02:38Good night, Mr. Delaroe.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:46Good night.
01:02:52Lazy legs.
01:02:57I don't know what you told Janeway,
01:02:59but you got him eating right out of your hand.
01:03:01It won't stop with lunch.
01:03:03Well, what's the difference?
01:03:05If you mean...
01:03:07Oh, stop acting like a green kid.
01:03:09Let him talk about what he wants to talk about.
01:03:11He won't talk about art.
01:03:13If I had any sense, I'd walk out on you.
01:03:15You haven't got any sense.
01:03:22Right here.
01:03:24Just like you'd sign a letter.
01:03:26Come on.
01:03:30Catherine March.
01:03:32Kitty!
01:03:34For cat's sake.
01:03:36Put that one back.
01:03:38Kitty!
01:03:42Kitty!
01:03:44Kitty!
01:03:46Kitty!
01:03:48Kitty!
01:03:51Chris!
01:03:53Oh, Kitty, I happen to be in the...
01:03:57Oh, hello, Mr. Cross.
01:03:59I just dropped in.
01:04:01I thought Millie was here.
01:04:03See, I hope you don't mind
01:04:05my looking at your picture.
01:04:07Oh, no, not at all, Mr. Prince.
01:04:09Fine work, that.
01:04:11Remarkable painting.
01:04:13You have a little trouble with perspective, don't you?
01:04:15Yes, that's one thing I never could master.
01:04:17Perspective.
01:04:19Well, I guess I'll have to run along.
01:04:21So long, Mr. Cross.
01:04:23If Millie drops in, tell her I'll be at Tiny's place.
01:04:25Don't bother. I'll let myself out.
01:04:35Has he been here long?
01:04:37No, why?
01:04:39I don't like him.
01:04:41Johnny's all right. He's a nice fellow, Chris, really is.
01:04:43I don't know why you don't like him.
01:04:45Well, was he the one?
01:04:48One what?
01:04:50Well, you said there was one man.
01:04:52Oh, for heaven's sake, won't you ever forget that?
01:04:54No!
01:04:56Go ahead and paint if you want to.
01:04:58I'm not going to stick around if you're going to torment me.
01:05:18Kitty?
01:05:38Oh, leave me alone!
01:05:40I'm going out for dinner!
01:05:44Kitty, don't be angry.
01:05:47Why do you come here if you want to quarrel?
01:05:49I didn't ask you to come here.
01:05:51Oh, please, Kitty.
01:05:53Oh, for Pete's sake.
01:05:55Go and paint!
01:05:57Well, I can't.
01:05:59I can't do a thing when you're angry with me.
01:06:03Do you want me to go?
01:06:05I want you to stay here and paint!
01:06:17Chris, I'm sorry, Chris,
01:06:19but why do you torment me about something that's over and done with?
01:06:21Well, because I...
01:06:25Would you marry me?
01:06:27You can't.
01:06:29Well, something might happen.
01:06:31What? You'd better not let your wife hear you talking like that.
01:06:35Of course I'd marry you if you were free, but you're not,
01:06:37so let's not talk about it.
01:06:39Now you go on and paint.
01:06:41Well, could I paint you?
01:06:43Well, I was going to do this myself,
01:06:45but, uh...
01:06:48Paint me, Chris.
01:07:01There'll be masterpieces.
01:07:13There'll be masterpieces.
01:07:43Hello, Adele.
01:07:45I dropped over at the butcher's shop like you told me to.
01:07:47I got a nice piece of liver.
01:07:54How long have you known Catherine March?
01:07:58Answer me!
01:08:03I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08:05How long have you known her?
01:08:07I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08:09How long have you known her?
01:08:12Now, don't get excited.
01:08:14Let me help you off with your coat.
01:08:16Well, you're the one that's excited.
01:08:18Get away with that knife.
01:08:20Do you want to cut my throat?
01:08:24How long have you known her?
01:08:26I don't know what you're talking about.
01:08:28Don't lie to me.
01:08:30You've been copying her work for years,
01:08:32pretending you painted those pictures out of your own head
01:08:34and all the time you were just copying the work of a real artist.
01:08:36I'll bet you're at Delarose every day making notes.
01:08:38Where?
01:08:40You know where.
01:08:42Delarose Art Gallery on 57th Street.
01:08:44They've got a window full of paintings by Catherine March.
01:08:46You're talking crazy.
01:08:48She gets $500 for a single picture.
01:08:50She's a genius.
01:08:52No wonder I used to think
01:08:54sometimes there was something in your work.
01:08:56Now I know why.
01:08:58If you ever do any more
01:09:00painting around here,
01:09:02I swear I'll write that woman a letter
01:09:04telling her you're stealing her ideas.
01:09:06You're a thief.
01:09:09Oh, girl, you better watch out.
01:09:11Or next thing you'll be stealing his money.
01:09:19Not that one, honey.
01:09:21Delarose asking for more pictures.
01:09:23Chris just finished it.
01:09:25He'll miss it.
01:09:27Janeway says the new pictures are
01:09:29the best things you've done.
01:09:33Wasn't I right about Janeway, lazy legs?
01:09:35Yeah, but he gets on my nerves.
01:09:38I've been out to dinner with him three times this week
01:09:40and now he's talking about breakfast.
01:09:42He's getting that look in his eye.
01:09:44All you gotta do is keep it there.
01:09:46It's all very well for you to say,
01:09:48but what about the wear and tear on my nerves?
01:09:50Papa will take care of Kitty.
01:09:54Baby's gonna have a big diamond ring
01:09:56and a shiny limousine
01:09:58and a penthouse.
01:10:00And Johnny?
01:10:02He goes with the penthouse.
01:10:08Chris.
01:10:14How did my pictures get into Delarose's window?
01:10:20Oh, Chris.
01:10:24Don't be angry with me.
01:10:26No, I'm not angry.
01:10:28I just can't understand.
01:10:30It's not possible.
01:10:32Forgive me.
01:10:34Forgive me, darling.
01:10:36I needed money.
01:10:38They were gonna take the furniture back.
01:10:40It was humiliating.
01:10:42I couldn't ask you for more.
01:10:44You've been so generous.
01:10:46I just couldn't.
01:10:48So I sold some pictures.
01:10:50To Delarose?
01:10:52Uh-huh.
01:10:54You actually sold those pictures?
01:10:56Uh-huh.
01:10:58Oh, I know I shouldn't have put my name on them,
01:11:00but Mr. Delarose,
01:11:03Mr. Delarose wanted to know
01:11:05who painted them,
01:11:07and I just couldn't give him your name.
01:11:09Now I can't tell him different.
01:11:11Can I?
01:11:13No.
01:11:15The funny part is
01:11:17it didn't seem to make any difference.
01:11:19Yeah, well, the funny part is
01:11:21it made a great deal of difference.
01:11:23If I'd bought those pictures to a man like Delarose,
01:11:25he wouldn't have taken them.
01:11:27I'm a failure, Kitty.
01:11:29Oh, you're a great painter, Chris.
01:11:31Mr. Delarose said so,
01:11:33and so did Mr. Janeway.
01:11:35That is,
01:11:39they say I am.
01:11:41Well, they're gonna keep on saying it.
01:11:43Oh, Chris.
01:11:45Oh, now don't, don't, Kitty, now don't cry.
01:11:47I'm happy.
01:11:49Why, it's just like a dream.
01:11:51Oh, Chris, you're so good, so kind.
01:11:53Well, what difference does it make whose name is on those pictures,
01:11:55yours or mine?
01:11:57Why, it's just like we were married.
01:12:00I take your name.
01:12:02Well,
01:12:04that gives me a little authority around here.
01:12:06I want to paint your picture, Kitty.
01:12:08How about it?
01:12:10Uh-huh.
01:12:14Come with me.
01:12:30You know what we're gonna call this?
01:12:32Self-portrait.
01:13:00Well,
01:13:22hello, Damon.
01:13:24Hello, there.
01:13:26Well, this is the first time I've ever agreed with you, Janeway.
01:13:29Thank you.
01:13:31I find the painter even more fascinating than a painting.
01:13:33What's she like?
01:13:35Mona Lisa, without the smile.
01:13:37Something hidden.
01:13:39Sometimes it seems as if she were two people.
01:13:41I mentioned that in my notice.
01:13:43Would you care to see it?
01:13:59Miss Cross,
01:14:01there's a man outside who says he wants to see you.
01:14:03Who?
01:14:05I don't get no name, sir,
01:14:07but he said he was a detective.
01:14:29You the detective?
01:14:31Well, I used to be, Mr. Cross.
01:14:33Don't you recognize me?
01:14:35No.
01:14:41Oh.
01:14:43Quite a shock, huh?
01:14:45Now, don't faint, Mr. Cross.
01:14:47Keep your head.
01:14:49I'll let you know.
01:14:51Well, thank you.
01:14:53Quite a shock, huh?
01:14:55Now, don't faint, Mr. Cross.
01:14:57Keep your head.
01:14:59I'll explain everything.
01:15:01Well, I was in trouble at the time.
01:15:03I'd been collecting a little extra money
01:15:05from the speakeasies along the waterfront.
01:15:07Word got around the headquarters.
01:15:09I was up for investigation.
01:15:11One night, I'm down by Brooklyn Bridge
01:15:13trying to fix things up.
01:15:15A man runs in the speakeasy
01:15:17and says a woman just jumped off the bridge.
01:15:19So I run out and tear off my coat,
01:15:22jump in.
01:15:24The way I felt, I'm hoping I don't come up again.
01:15:26Do you mind?
01:15:28No.
01:15:34Well,
01:15:36there I am swimming around in the dark.
01:15:38I had a hold of her hat once.
01:15:40Next thing I know, I'm all tired out.
01:15:42I heard a tugboat whistle
01:15:44right down on top of me.
01:15:46Comes a coal barge.
01:15:48So I grab a hold and climb aboard.
01:15:50What do you think I got?
01:15:52Her pocketbook.
01:15:54That's what I grabbed a hold of when I thought it was her hat.
01:15:56And inside
01:15:58is $2,700
01:16:00in folded money.
01:16:02Imagine anybody committing suicide
01:16:04for that much money.
01:16:06Well, the coal barge unloaded on a
01:16:08banana boat bound for Honduras.
01:16:10Well, I went with it.
01:16:12Yes, but if you're not
01:16:14dead,
01:16:16then I'm not really married to Adele,
01:16:19am I?
01:16:25What's it worth to you for me to
01:16:27keep my mouth shut and just
01:16:29fade away?
01:16:31Yes, but
01:16:33if you're Adele's husband...
01:16:35Wait a minute.
01:16:37I can see you need Adele.
01:16:39I need money.
01:16:41You're a cashier.
01:16:43It ought to be easy for you to put your hands
01:16:45on a couple of thousand.
01:16:48I couldn't do a thing like that.
01:16:52You're going back to her?
01:16:54No, but not to do
01:16:56you a favor, mister.
01:16:58I'm clearing out for Adele's sake.
01:17:02And don't think you're gonna get any peace
01:17:04of mind either.
01:17:06I might turn up again someday.
01:17:08She'd kick you out in a minute
01:17:10for a man like me.
01:17:14I'll get you
01:17:16your money.
01:17:18Now you're using your head.
01:17:20Yeah, but you'll have to wait here.
01:17:22I can't get it till after we close at 6 o'clock.
01:17:24I'll wait, Cross.
01:17:28Hello, Johnny.
01:17:30Hello, Kitty.
01:17:32Don't forget the champagne, baby.
01:17:34Nice car you have, Johnny.
01:17:36You go fast, huh?
01:17:38I'd like to see any cop try to catch me.
01:17:40Say, I'll give you four bits
01:17:42for a bucket full of that ice.
01:17:45Thank you, Johnny.
01:17:51Can I borrow the ice pick?
01:17:53You give it back, huh?
01:17:55Sure, sure.
01:17:57Thank you.
01:18:03Only 200?
01:18:05Well, that's all I could get.
01:18:07Don't you think your wife's worth
01:18:09more than that?
01:18:11Well, look,
01:18:13it's all that's coming to you, Mr. Higgins.
01:18:15Now, what about the insurance money?
01:18:17Insurance?
01:18:19Yeah, $2,000 on your life.
01:18:21Adele collected it. It's really yours, isn't it?
01:18:23She keeps it right in her bedroom.
01:18:25Now, I wouldn't touch
01:18:27a penny of it, Mr. Higgins,
01:18:29but if you took it,
01:18:31it would be perfectly legal.
01:18:33But just how would I get it?
01:18:35That's easy.
01:18:37This is the night that she always
01:18:39goes out to the movies.
01:18:42I let you in. You take the money.
01:18:44I let you out.
01:18:48But why don't you get it?
01:18:50Oh, I've got to be able to say
01:18:52that I didn't touch it.
01:18:54You know, Adele.
01:19:00What if she don't go out
01:19:02and I show up?
01:19:04Your goose is cooked, isn't it?
01:19:06Yes, but
01:19:08I can play it safe.
01:19:11How?
01:19:13Well, you come along the street
01:19:15at 11 o'clock tonight.
01:19:41Okay?
01:19:43Shh.
01:19:45Why are you whispering?
01:19:47How come the lights are on?
01:19:49Mrs. Michaels.
01:19:51You're lying.
01:19:53You're lying.
01:19:55You're lying.
01:19:57You're lying.
01:19:59You're lying.
01:20:01You're lying.
01:20:03You're lying.
01:20:05You're lying.
01:20:07You're lying.
01:20:09Mrs. Michaels.
01:20:11You remember Mrs. Michaels, don't you?
01:20:13Oh, yeah.
01:20:15And the neighbors.
01:20:23Where's the money?
01:20:25In there, in the bottom drawer
01:20:27in the chest.
01:20:29Okay.
01:20:31Give me the flag.
01:20:39Ah!
01:20:41Help! Police!
01:20:43Murder!
01:20:45Christopher!
01:20:47Christopher, turn on the lights!
01:20:49Christopher!
01:20:53All your fears
01:20:55are foolish fancy made.
01:21:01You know, dear
01:21:03that I'm in love
01:21:05with love
01:21:08with love
01:21:10with love
01:21:12with love
01:21:14with love
01:21:16Johnny!
01:21:18Oh, Johnny.
01:21:20Lazy legs.
01:21:22Jeepers, I love you.
01:21:26What's that?
01:21:38Chris?
01:21:48Johnny, is it Chris?
01:21:50Call him, quick.
01:21:52Chris!
01:21:54Chris!
01:21:56I ought to push you over on your head.
01:21:58How'd I know he was coming here tonight?
01:22:00I don't understand.
01:22:02You don't understand anything.
01:22:04Well, why get sore at me?
01:22:06That's right. Blame it on me.
01:22:08Oh, why'd you keep me here tonight?
01:22:10I didn't want to stay.
01:22:12Johnny, don't talk like that.
01:22:14Well, it's the truth. I'm fed up with you.
01:22:16Johnny!
01:22:18That's the only thing you ever understood.
01:22:20I'm through with you.
01:22:32Jeepers, I love you, Johnny.
01:22:36Jeepers, I love you, Johnny.
01:22:40Oh, Lord, have mercy
01:22:42upon us sinners.
01:22:44The way of a sinner is made plain
01:22:46with stones.
01:22:48For the end thereof is the pit of hell.
01:22:50Oh, Lord,
01:22:52be merciful to me,
01:22:54a sinner.
01:22:56Amen!
01:22:58Amen!
01:23:01Amen!
01:23:07Millie?
01:23:09Yeah, Kitty. You seen Johnny?
01:23:11Oh, I thought he'd go to Tiny's.
01:23:13Was he getting tight?
01:23:15Oh, just a fight.
01:23:17Listen, he can't live without me any more
01:23:19than I can live without him.
01:23:21Said he was coming back here
01:23:23to beat me up.
01:23:25Jeepers, the way that guy shoots off his mouth.
01:23:27Oh, you don't have to warn me.
01:23:30That's just the way he talks.
01:23:32If you were in love, you'd understand.
01:23:34Oh, stop it.
01:23:36Johnny wouldn't kill a fly.
01:23:40That's love, honey.
01:23:42Here he is now.
01:23:44And has he got a bun on.
01:23:46Goodbye, hon.
01:23:48Hello, Johnny.
01:23:52Come on, Johnny.
01:23:54I heard you.
01:24:00You lied to me, Kitty.
01:24:04Was him, wasn't it?
01:24:06Can I help it if I'm in love?
01:24:08No, just an infatuation.
01:24:10You couldn't love
01:24:12a man like that, Kitty.
01:24:14He's evil.
01:24:16He wouldn't let you alone,
01:24:18isn't that right?
01:24:20I wanted to kill him.
01:24:22I wanted to kill him.
01:24:24I wanted to kill him.
01:24:26I wanted to kill him.
01:24:28I wanted to kill him.
01:24:30Well, that's wrong.
01:24:32Why'd you come here?
01:24:34To ask you to marry me.
01:24:36What about your wife?
01:24:38I haven't any wife. That's finished.
01:24:40My husband turned up. I'm free.
01:24:44Hold on.
01:24:46Don't cry, Kitty.
01:24:48I know how you feel, but that's all over now.
01:24:50We all make mistakes.
01:24:52I don't care what's happened.
01:24:54I can marry you now.
01:24:57I want you to be my wife.
01:24:59We'll go way together,
01:25:01way far off, so
01:25:03you can forget this other man.
01:25:05Don't cry, Kitty.
01:25:07Please don't cry.
01:25:09I'm not crying, you fool.
01:25:11I'm laughing.
01:25:13Oh, you idiot.
01:25:15How can a man be so dumb?
01:25:17Kitty.
01:25:23I wanted to laugh
01:25:25since I first met you.
01:25:27You're old and ugly and I'm sick of you.
01:25:29Sick, sick, sick.
01:25:31You killed Johnny?
01:25:33I'd like to see you try.
01:25:35He'd break every bone in your body.
01:25:37He's a man.
01:25:39You want to marry me?
01:25:41Get out of here.
01:25:43Get away from me.
01:25:45Chris, get away from me.
01:25:55Hey.
01:25:57Oh.
01:25:59You look out, Johnny.
01:26:01You'll kill somebody.
01:26:25I love you.
01:26:55I love you.
01:27:25Chris.
01:27:45Chris.
01:27:55Chris.
01:28:13Hold on, Chris. Wait a minute.
01:28:17What made you do it, Chris?
01:28:19When these officers called me,
01:28:21I wouldn't believe it.
01:28:23A telephone.
01:28:25By a man named Higgins.
01:28:27I checked the cash before you came in.
01:28:29You know how much is missing?
01:28:31Over $1,200.
01:28:33We'll take him along.
01:28:35You can make the complaint, Mr. Hogarth.
01:28:37Hold on, Boris.
01:28:39I just can't do it.
01:28:41But, Mr. Hogarth.
01:28:43I know you've done your duty and I'm obliged to you.
01:28:45There's a box of cigars on the table.
01:28:47Take him along with you.
01:28:49Okay, Mr. Hogarth. It's up to you.
01:28:53Chris.
01:28:57Chris, it was a woman, wasn't it?
01:29:01I thought so.
01:29:03I'm not going to put you in jail, Chris.
01:29:07Only, of course, you're through.
01:29:09Hmm.
01:29:23Well, I didn't do anything.
01:29:25I want a law...
01:29:27I want a lawyer.
01:29:29Where was he picked up?
01:29:31Riverside Drive.
01:29:33He tried to get away in the murdered girl's car.
01:29:35That was my car.
01:29:39This is yours, too.
01:29:41It's got your initials on it.
01:29:43But it's her blood.
01:29:45His $140 was taken out of her pocketbook.
01:29:47It was his car.
01:29:49It was his car.
01:29:51His $140 was taken out of her pocketbook.
01:29:53It was mine.
01:29:57It's her diamond ring.
01:29:59Worth, oh, $500 or $600.
01:30:03You guys know a lot, don't you?
01:30:05It cost $1,200.
01:30:07These are personal jewelry.
01:30:11Not much value.
01:30:13But he cleaned her out.
01:30:15Well, why wouldn't I?
01:30:17She didn't have any more use for it, did she?
01:30:21Listen, you guys, I want a lawyer.
01:30:23I'm a citizen. I got my rights.
01:30:27This belongs to you, too, huh?
01:30:29It's got your fingerprints on it.
01:30:31Well, naturally, I picked it up.
01:30:33How did I know she was dead?
01:30:35I thought she was asleep at first.
01:30:37Uh-huh.
01:30:39She didn't paint those pictures.
01:30:43Old Cross isn't as dumb as he looks.
01:30:45He painted them.
01:30:47The accused brought me two pictures.
01:30:49He told me Miss March painted them.
01:30:51In my expert opinion,
01:30:53there's no doubt about it.
01:30:55She was a very great artist.
01:30:57She told me she was an artist
01:30:59when she rented this studio.
01:31:01He was with her.
01:31:03I didn't like him then, and I don't like him now.
01:31:05Yeah, he was mean when he was drunk.
01:31:07He said he was gonna fix her
01:31:09when he left my place around 2 a.m.
01:31:11That's when I tell him,
01:31:13you look out, Johnny, you'll kill somebody.
01:31:15So he killed her with my ice pick.
01:31:17He was there, all right.
01:31:19What I don't understand is this talk about her being an artist.
01:31:21I never saw her paint.
01:31:23That was one of her peculiar traits.
01:31:25She never let anyone see her paint.
01:31:27I've compared her handwriting with a signature.
01:31:29There's no question.
01:31:31Mr. Cross paint?
01:31:33Huh.
01:31:35He only copied her work. He's a thief.
01:31:37He stole from me, from his employer,
01:31:39from Catherine March.
01:31:41My wife, uh...
01:31:43I mean, my former wife is correct.
01:31:45I really can't paint.
01:31:49My copies were so bad, I had to destroy them.
01:31:51For God's sake!
01:31:53He's lying!
01:32:05Hello, Mr. Cross.
01:32:07Hello.
01:32:09Tom Crocker, Evening Globe.
01:32:11Oh, yes, Tom Crocker.
01:32:13Joe Williams, Morning World.
01:32:15Conway, for the ledger.
01:32:17Cigarette?
01:32:19Well, thanks.
01:32:21Going to Sing Sing?
01:32:23Yeah.
01:32:25I don't like to cover executions, but I must say this is one I don't mind.
01:32:27You sure cooked Johnny's goose, Mr. Cross,
01:32:29when you testified you couldn't paint.
01:32:31Nobody cooked Johnny's goose except Johnny,
01:32:33the way he shot off his mouth.
01:32:35He was a dead pigeon when he dragged the girl's name through the mud.
01:32:37I watched the jury.
01:32:39If he'd have kept his trap shut, he might have got off with his life.
01:32:41Sure, the evidence was only circumstantial.
01:32:43What do you mean?
01:32:45He got a fair trial, didn't he?
01:32:47Yeah, but there's always a doubt.
01:32:49I suppose you fellas are going to say it was a miscarriage of justice,
01:32:51that someone is getting away with murder.
01:32:53Not me. There's no such thing.
01:32:55Mr. Cross, nobody gets away with murder.
01:32:59How's that?
01:33:01Oh, don't get him started.
01:33:03You took your ear off. That's his pet theory.
01:33:05All right, go ahead and laugh all you like,
01:33:07but no one escapes punishment.
01:33:09I figure we have a little courtroom right in here.
01:33:11Judge, jury, and executioner.
01:33:15I don't get it.
01:33:17Well, murder never solves anything.
01:33:19How about it, fellas? You've covered lots of trials.
01:33:21I'm sorry, but I have to admit you're right.
01:33:23The problem just moved in here where it can never get out.
01:33:25Right here in solitary.
01:33:27So what?
01:33:29So you go right on punishing yourself.
01:33:31You can't get away with it. Never.
01:33:33Now that doesn't make any sense.
01:33:35Well, you haven't seen as much of murder as I have, Mr. Cross.
01:33:37I'd rather have the judge give me the words
01:33:39than have to do it to myself.
01:33:47What time they throw the switch?
01:33:5111 o'clock.
01:34:07Come on, come on, come on.
01:34:31I didn't do it. I tell you, I didn't do it.
01:34:33Won't anybody believe me? Give me a break, somebody.
01:34:35I've never had a square deal in my life!
01:34:37Oh, somebody, somebody give me a break!

01:38:28Johnny!
01:38:40It's all right, old man!
01:38:41It's all right!
01:38:43Johnny!
01:38:45Oh, Johnny!
01:38:47Lazy legs and chambers!
01:38:49I love you, Johnny!
01:38:54Get up. Come on, come on, get up, get up.
01:39:09Oh, it's you. Haven't I told you to keep out of this park?
01:39:15You know the mayor's orders.
01:39:26Get on down to the bowery where you belong.
01:39:30Come on, come on.
01:39:43Who's that, Rick?
01:39:44He's got a crazy I.D. He killed a couple of people five or six years ago.
01:39:47Can't get it off his mind.
01:39:49Always trying to give himself up.
01:39:53Wants to be tried and executed.
01:39:55You know these nuts.
01:40:14Well, there goes her masterpiece.
01:40:43I really hate to part with you.
01:40:45For $10,000, I shouldn't think you'd mind, Mr. Teleco.
01:41:09John.
01:41:14Oh, John.
01:41:18Lazy Rick.
01:41:22Jeepers, I love you, John.
