Short filmTranscript
00:00I'm the chief drama critic of the Daily Chronicle.
00:06Jimmy Erskine's never liked me.
00:08Hold your breath for he is theatrical sewage.
00:11It's a disaster. You should talk to him.
00:14Over the last ten years, you've compared me to livestock, creatures of the sea, and an extinct bird.
00:20It's going to stop.
00:21Oh, are you retiring?
00:24Tone it down. More beauty, less beast.
00:28We can restore the Chronicle to its rightful place as the most read family newspaper in the country.
00:33Watch your backs.
00:35He won't come after the old guard.
00:38Beyond the paper!
00:41Anyone who threatens the reputation of this newspaper is an undesirable.
00:45You must practice your perversion behind closed doors.
00:48You're a cheeky old queer, ain't ya?
00:50May I return the compliment?
00:51Mr. Erskine, are you a homosexual?
01:01One month's notice.
01:02What did you expect?
01:07You must have something on him.
01:09The man's a saint.
01:11All men have secrets. I'll find his.
01:14From your secret admirer?
01:18Look, he's crying.
01:20Viscount Brooke.
01:22Powerful wretch.
01:25But catastrophically married.
01:28I have something delicate to discuss.
01:33Do me a little service.
01:37I want you to please him.
01:39And in return, you will gain my unyielding favor.
01:43All that's required to make you a star.
01:51Don't let me down.
01:53Or what?
02:00You're so naughty.
02:02You're a maniac with a death wish.
02:05I'm the critic.
02:06I have power and influence.
02:13I want to ask you to live with yourself.
02:15Please.
02:16This is only the beginning.
