00:00:00Oh, my God.
00:00:07Darling, please.
00:00:14Coming.
00:00:18My mother's blood.
00:00:26My mother's blood.
00:00:30Right, my lad. You're on.
00:00:47Now, who was first?
00:00:49Can I help you, madam?
00:00:51Why don't you come in?
00:01:21Oh, my God.
00:01:36Oh, my God.
00:02:05Stop, please.
00:02:20Stop, please.
00:02:26Hello, darling.
00:02:28I'm Cleopatra.
00:02:29Oh, we just flew in.
00:02:31You have our reservations, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Camp from Dayton, Ohio.
00:02:35You are Mr. Darling?
00:02:37I am the manager, madam. Darling is the hall porter.
00:02:41Oh, pardon me.
00:02:44You see, some friends of ours who stopped here last fall said if we wanted tickets for the shows, well, I suppose just anything, be sure and call for a guy named Darling.
00:02:52They said he was a perfect miracle.
00:02:54Quite, madam.
00:02:55Hey, Alice, we got a fix about comics for the kids right away.
00:02:58Sure do, Pop.
00:02:59That's right.
00:03:00We ran out of them on the plane.
00:03:01Do you sell kids' comics in this bird?
00:03:03The hall porter will assist you, sir.
00:03:07Over there, madam.
00:03:08I believe I'll take Anne and Winthrop up to the room right away, Howard.
00:03:12Good idea.
00:03:13Perhaps you will sign the register later, sir.
00:03:14I'll just get a drink.
00:03:16The lift is over there, madam.
00:03:22Gee, ain't you kind of old to work an elevator?
00:03:25That was not polite.
00:03:26Did you say something?
00:03:28Oh, no, lady.
00:03:29I was just passing the time of day with your little offspring.
00:03:35Come along, kids.
00:03:36There you are, sir.
00:03:37That should give you all the information you want.
00:03:39Thanks so much, old boy.
00:03:41Darling, darling, have you got our tickets?
00:03:43You know, that thriller we asked you to book for, Death in the Lift.
00:03:46Ah, yes.
00:03:47Here they are.
00:03:48Now, when you get to the theater...
00:03:51Yes.
00:03:52Go in.
00:03:54Then proceed to stalls...
00:03:57Z.
00:03:58Seats four and five.
00:04:00Is that clear?
00:04:02Yes.
00:04:03And then?
00:04:04During the interval, do not partake of any beverage.
00:04:07Drink not the tea.
00:04:09Why?
00:04:10Might it be poisoned?
00:04:12You never know.
00:04:17Thank you, darling.
00:04:18You're a marvel, isn't he, Oggy?
00:04:20Wonderful.
00:04:21And the play, is it thrilling?
00:04:23Three murders, one suicide.
00:04:26Mend it.
00:04:27Come along, darling.
00:04:28Oh, no, I can't.
00:04:29Oh, the other darling.
00:04:30I'm so sorry.
00:04:31Oh, father!
00:04:33My key!
00:04:34Come along, ma'am.
00:04:35Aye, aye, sir.
00:04:37Wait.
00:04:38Are you going aloft, Abu?
00:04:40I am.
00:04:41Ahoy there, Scotty.
00:04:42Come along.
00:04:43Look politely.
00:04:44Jump to it, lad.
00:04:45Jump to it yourself.
00:04:46Warn the officer of the lift to stand by.
00:04:48The Admiral is going aloft to his quarters.
00:04:50Now, sir, will you eat in your cabin or in the wardroom?
00:04:53In my cabin.
00:04:55Aye, aye, sir.
00:04:56And mind how you go, Admiral.
00:04:57There's a bit of wind coming up.
00:04:59I beg your pardon?
00:05:00Granted, sir.
00:05:01As soon as asked.
00:05:08Why, Miss Phillips.
00:05:10Oh, darling, could you spare me a moment?
00:05:12A moment?
00:05:15For you, I could spare an hour, a year, a lifetime.
00:05:20Oh, I've come for my prince.
00:05:22Pardon?
00:05:23Prince.
00:05:24Oh, prince, yes, of course.
00:05:26The fact that he's consumed the best part of one of my socks for his luncheon is of no consequence.
00:05:32Oh.
00:05:33Ah, the little fellow is forgiven, isn't he?
00:05:36You little grey barker.
00:05:38For he is yours.
00:05:40And they say, love me, love my dog.
00:05:44Oh, you're incorrigible.
00:05:48Well, I must take Prince for his walk or he gets cross.
00:05:51Come along, Princey.
00:05:53Au revoir, Miss Phillips.
00:05:58Pardon me.
00:05:59If you can spare another minute or a year or perhaps a lifetime, could I have my keys?
00:06:04My name's Howard Cannes.
00:06:06Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Cannes.
00:06:07Yes.
00:06:08Come right up, sir.
00:06:09Come right up.
00:06:10274, 275.
00:06:13The elevator's right across there.
00:06:15Boy, boy, show Mr. Cannes up to 274 and 275.
00:06:20Now, sir, if there's anything you want, all you've got to do is to ring me on the telephone
00:06:24and I'll be happy to accommodate yous all.
00:06:27Thanks.
00:06:28Thanks very much.
00:06:30Oh, you're most welcome, sir.
00:06:34And what is your pleasure, sir?
00:06:35Excuse me.
00:06:36I am resident of hotel I R Who.
00:06:38No, no, please forgive me.
00:06:40I am Who.
00:06:42Ah, you are Who, too.
00:06:44Yes, yes.
00:06:45I see family likeness.
00:06:47Excuse, please.
00:06:48You tell me.
00:06:49The Buckingham House for traveling people to enter, yes?
00:06:51No, no.
00:06:52Buckingham House is Buckingham Palace.
00:06:54Very private.
00:06:55House of Queen.
00:06:56No men go in.
00:06:57Ah.
00:06:59Much thanks.
00:07:00Thanks.
00:07:03I say, darling.
00:07:04Oh, hello, Miss Dryden.
00:07:07Listen, darling.
00:07:08If mummy comes round here asking for me or rings up or anything, you haven't seen me,
00:07:12do you understand?
00:07:13Oh, rather.
00:07:14I won't let on, I promise.
00:07:15You really are an absolutely divine young man.
00:07:18Oh, rot.
00:07:19Yes, you are.
00:07:20I've a good mind to kiss you.
00:07:22Oh, you mustn't think of doing anything quite so madly foolish, at least not out here.
00:07:26Well, you can consider yourself kissed.
00:07:28Oh, how absolutely marvelous of you.
00:07:30You really are a splendid girl.
00:07:32Absolutely splendid.
00:07:34Oh.
00:07:35Bye-bye.
00:07:37Oh, I've had this.
00:07:40Please, I'll put you through.
00:07:41You're through.
00:07:43Oh, dear.
00:07:45Wouldn't it be gorgeous?
00:07:47What?
00:07:48To be there on that beach instead of here.
00:07:50I'll say it would.
00:07:51To lay there all day in the sun and get ground off in peace.
00:07:55You're looking tired, Bill.
00:07:56You need a good holiday.
00:07:57I need a holiday for good, dear, I think.
00:07:59Who doesn't?
00:08:02Royal Connacht Hotel?
00:08:04Miss Stroud?
00:08:05Who is inquiring, please?
00:08:07It's Mrs. Stroud asking if Miss Stroud is staying here.
00:08:11Put the old crone on my extension.
00:08:14One moment, please.
00:08:15I'll connect you with the hall porter.
00:08:17You're through.
00:08:18Hello?
00:08:19Good afternoon, madam.
00:08:20Is that you, darling?
00:08:21Yes.
00:08:22I want to speak to my daughter.
00:08:23No, I'm afraid she's not here.
00:08:24I'm definite that she would bid for Royal Connacht.
00:08:25Can't you connect me with my daughter at once?
00:08:27Yes, twice.
00:08:28I can't get a word in anyway.
00:08:29Right you are.
00:08:30Thank you so much.
00:08:31Goodbye, madam.
00:08:32But she is here in room 63.
00:08:35You eat your sandwiches and mind your own business.
00:08:38Thanks, I will.
00:08:43I wonder what abroad's like.
00:08:45Depends.
00:08:46Whereabouts abroad?
00:08:47The French Riviera.
00:08:48Oh, I told you, gorgeous.
00:08:50How do you know you've never been?
00:08:52Never been.
00:08:54What are you going to do with yourself this afternoon?
00:08:57Why?
00:08:58It's Wednesday, your half day.
00:08:59Oh, I forgot, yes.
00:09:01Why not go to the pictures and see a bit of the Mediterranean in glorious Technicolor?
00:09:06Get it out of your system.
00:09:07No, thanks.
00:09:08I prefer the real thing.
00:09:10No, I think I'll go and have a nap.
00:09:12That's it.
00:09:13Well, I'll see you at tea time.
00:09:14Bye-bye.
00:09:15All right.
00:09:16Royal Connacht Hotel?
00:09:17One moment, please.
00:09:18I'll put you through.
00:09:25Mr. Darling?
00:09:26Are you there, Mr. Darling?
00:09:28Who is it?
00:09:29It's me, Gladys.
00:09:30Oh, come in.
00:09:32There, I woke you up.
00:09:34It's all right.
00:09:35I was having nightmares.
00:09:37But it's only afternoon.
00:09:38Oh, daymares, then.
00:09:40There's a man to see you downstairs.
00:09:41A man?
00:09:42Who?
00:09:43He wants to see you private, in the foyer.
00:09:45Better get down there, quick.
00:09:46All right, I'll be right down.
00:09:47You been up to something?
00:09:49No, why?
00:09:50Only the gentleman says it's to do with the law, and I don't like the look of him.
00:09:58You're through.
00:09:59Where is he?
00:10:00Who?
00:10:01The policeman.
00:10:02It's me.
00:10:03Oh, a plainclothes man.
00:10:04No, no.
00:10:05I'm a solicitor.
00:10:06My name is Purchase.
00:10:07How do you do?
00:10:08Oh, how do you do?
00:10:09May I sit down?
00:10:10Why?
00:10:11Yes, of course.
00:10:12There we are.
00:10:13I have here a last will and testament.
00:10:14Oh, I've nothing to leave.
00:10:15I'm very sorry.
00:10:16No, no.
00:10:17It belongs to a lady who resided for some years at the Royal Connacht Hotel.
00:10:18Mrs. Laura Charlotte Barclay-Pegg.
00:10:19Oh, I see.
00:10:20Oh, I see.
00:10:21Oh, I see.
00:10:22Oh, I see.
00:10:23Oh, I see.
00:10:24Oh, I see.
00:10:25Oh, I see.
00:10:27Oh, oh, Pegglake.
00:10:28Oh, how is she?
00:10:31The good lady passed on in Bournemouth last week in her ninety second year.
00:10:34Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:35Oh, yes, I remember her well.
00:10:38I used to take her poodle for a walk.
00:10:41She used to pour out all her troubles on me.
00:10:43I remember once, by my bite.
00:10:46Please pay attention.
00:10:47Yes.
00:10:48Amongst other legacies, to William Darling, Hall porter of the Royal Connacht Hotel, in
00:10:53for his kindness to me and to my beloved poodle Lulu,
00:10:56I bequeath the sum of £10,000.
00:10:58So if you'll just let me have the name and address of your bankers, and also...
00:11:02Bill! Bill!
00:11:04Mr. Darling, are you all right?
00:11:08My key, please.
00:11:10A hundred and nine.
00:11:13Darling.
00:11:15Oh, sorry, darling.
00:11:16I mean, er, my lady, er, Mrs., er, Miss, whatever it is.
00:11:21You're very far away today, darling. Where are you?
00:11:24Ah, the south of France.
00:11:26What's the weather like?
00:11:27Oh, gorgeous.
00:11:29Yes, the burning sun is beating down on the hot, deserted sands.
00:11:34The palm trees are swaying in the warm winds.
00:11:38I'm alone on the deserted beach.
00:11:41I listen to the palm trees whispering.
00:11:44I want the church times sent up.
00:11:46I want the church times...
00:11:49Oh, certainly. So be it, my Lord Bishop. So be it.
00:12:00Well, I still can't believe it.
00:12:02There must be a catch in it somewhere.
00:12:04Now, why should there be?
00:12:05You looked after the old girl. She liked you, and that's all there is to it.
00:12:09After all, she left half a million.
00:12:11When she left here after 15 years, she gave the head waiter half a crown.
00:12:16Still, she was a good soul and kind-hearted.
00:12:21Royal Connacht Hotel. Reception. I have a call for you.
00:12:28I suppose you'll be chucking up your job now.
00:12:31Naturally.
00:12:32I wonder if I'll miss you.
00:12:34What do you mean, miss me? Well, you're coming as well.
00:12:38I'm not, you know.
00:12:39But, Rose, I can give you everything. Clothes and travel and sunshine. Everything.
00:12:44We can be in the big time together.
00:12:46You be in the big time. I'm sticking to my job. Thanks all the same.
00:12:51But I don't understand.
00:12:52I'm sorry. I think it's better that way.
00:12:55Oh, wait. All right. If that's how you feel, I'll go on my own.
00:13:00Yes. You go and find a nice French girl.
00:13:03Well, that won't be difficult. You know what all the girls in France are, don't you?
00:13:07What?
00:13:08French.
00:13:09Ah, there you are, darling.
00:13:11Good evening, ladies. And what can I do for you?
00:13:13More theatre tickets, please.
00:13:15We'd like to see a Shakespeare play this time.
00:13:18On Wednesday, if you could manage it. Something classical.
00:13:21You get the tickets and just put us in a taxi.
00:13:23This charge, good ladies, will I carry out.
00:13:26Swift as a stag, which, seeking to evade the hunter on some grassy hill,
00:13:31doth match the very wind in his alacrity.
00:13:34Thank you. After all, you've never let us down yet, have you, darling?
00:13:39Hello, darling.
00:13:40Hello. How are you?
00:13:42Fine.
00:13:43Good. Now...
00:13:44Can I have my key, please? I'm room...
00:13:46504.
00:13:47That's the idea. But I'm 26.
00:13:50What, still, dear?
00:13:52No telephone calls and no visitors, except a Mr. Bollinger.
00:13:56Oh.
00:13:57Send him up.
00:13:58On ice?
00:13:59If you like. I'll soon thaw him out.
00:14:02I'll say.
00:14:04You're through.
00:14:06Ah.
00:14:10Well, it won't be long now, will it?
00:14:13It looks dull.
00:14:15Jealous.
00:14:16Mr. Hatchard won't like it.
00:14:18Well, he'll have to put up with it, won't he?
00:14:20You'll have to make absolutely sure of what you're going to say,
00:14:23or else he'll talk you out of it.
00:14:25Come on, we'll have a rehearsal.
00:14:26A good idea.
00:14:27I'll be old Hatchard.
00:14:28I'll be old Hatchard.
00:14:30I'll be old Hatchard.
00:14:32Right. Here I come.
00:14:34Coming!
00:14:36Well, well, well.
00:14:38Watch her, Hatch, your boy, house tricks.
00:14:41Well?
00:14:43Darling, what's the meaning of this?
00:14:45Ah, I shall explain.
00:14:47Well, Hatchie, I have come to say goodbye.
00:14:50Come to say goodbye? Why?
00:14:52Because I'm going.
00:14:54Now, I will explain.
00:14:56Now, since yesterday,
00:14:58Now, since yesterday,
00:15:00my circumstances have altered.
00:15:02Well, you'd better see a doctor, hadn't you?
00:15:04Oh, ho, ho!
00:15:06You will have your little joke, won't you, Hatchie?
00:15:08I'm afraid.
00:15:10Will you kindly explain this masquerade to me?
00:15:12And what are you doing in here, in that get-up?
00:15:14Get-up?
00:15:15Ah, not so hasty, Hatchie.
00:15:17Read this, then we will talk.
00:15:19Will you please stop calling me Hatchie?
00:15:21Certainly, Digby.
00:15:24Ah, well, congratulations.
00:15:27I take the day off to celebrate.
00:15:29The what off?
00:15:31The day.
00:15:32Oh, ho, ho!
00:15:35I want the lot off.
00:15:37You see, Dig, I'm thinking of flying to the south of France.
00:15:41The Côte d'Azur.
00:15:43Or I may even dodge into Monty.
00:15:45I love a flutter on the tables, don't you?
00:15:47No, I don't, and you can't.
00:15:49Can't what?
00:15:50Can't resign.
00:15:51Why not?
00:15:52I'll show you why not.
00:15:53Why do you suppose you signed this agreement with the companies three years ago?
00:15:56I, I'd forgotten all about this.
00:15:58No, well, there you are.
00:15:59Oh, where am I?
00:16:01Tied by a watertight agreement to continue your engagement here as hall porter
00:16:05until such time as the company, in ten years, wish to terminate it.
00:16:09D'oh, this is ridiculous.
00:16:10I mean, I didn't, I didn't sign this, did I?
00:16:13Are you sure I didn't forge it?
00:16:14Yes, quite sure.
00:16:15The owners of this hotel were astute enough to realize
00:16:18that your peculiar knack of keeping on the right side of the residence
00:16:21made you a valuable and loved servant of the company
00:16:23to warrant your permanent retention here.
00:16:25Well, I'm sorry, Hatchie, but I'm leaving.
00:16:29I really am.
00:16:30You can't.
00:16:31Oh, and why not?
00:16:32They would sue for breach of contract.
00:16:33Oh, they wouldn't dare.
00:16:35Would they?
00:16:36Dare?
00:16:37They'd take every penny of that 10,000 legacy of yours
00:16:38and a great deal more besides in damages.
00:16:40They're dirty capitalists.
00:16:42Yeah, well, that's the law, darling.
00:16:43Now go and take off that ridiculous set-up and go back to your desk.
00:16:46Yes, but I mean, I...
00:16:47You are tied to this hotel and here you stay.
00:16:50Yes, but I...
00:16:51Go on.
00:16:52Get out.
00:16:54Oh...
00:16:56Oh, well, you'd better have this then.
00:16:59They can't do this to me.
00:17:02I'm really worked up now.
00:17:04Well, calm down while I make you a cup of tea.
00:17:07Ten years I've slaved for them,
00:17:09from the men's washroom to the lift to Hall Porter,
00:17:11and now I can't retire and enjoy myself.
00:17:14Retire at your age?
00:17:15Why not?
00:17:16The trouble is you're indispensable to the running of this hotel.
00:17:20Well, maybe. So what?
00:17:22So stop being...
00:17:23Indispensable?
00:17:24Yes.
00:17:25How can I...
00:17:27Stop?
00:17:28Yes.
00:17:30Yes.
00:17:33I wonder how you'll do it.
00:17:35Yes, now, let me see.
00:17:38I wonder if...
00:17:39Oh, no.
00:17:40Oh, no, I don't.
00:17:43Perhaps...
00:17:44No, no.
00:17:45No, it's out of the question.
00:17:47It's out of the question.
00:17:50I wonder...
00:17:52Ah!
00:18:11How's it going?
00:18:12They're all awake now, poor devils, except the second floor.
00:18:15I'm doing them now.
00:18:23Hello?
00:18:24It's five o'clock, Mr. Kahn.
00:18:26Five o'clock? I said to call me at 8.30.
00:18:29Come on, now, get out of bed, you lazy layabout.
00:18:32Who the hell is this?
00:18:33What does he want?
00:18:36Hello?
00:18:37Hello?
00:18:46Who is it?
00:18:47Five o'clock now, come along, come along, rise and shine.
00:18:50Come along, come along, rise and shine.
00:18:52Who on earth?
00:18:53Is that you, darling?
00:18:54Yes, darling.
00:18:55Now, come along out of bed, the pair of you,
00:18:57or I shall come up there and pull you out.
00:18:59Hee-haw!
00:19:03Who is it?
00:19:04Wakey, wakey, me lord.
00:19:06Five o'clock.
00:19:07Show a gated leg.
00:19:08That's a good boy.
00:19:11Only one more now.
00:19:12One more Crosby.
00:19:14Mind your ear this time.
00:19:15Hello!
00:19:16Hello!
00:19:17What the devil do you mean by ringing the telephone at this hour of the morning?
00:19:20What do you want? Who is it?
00:19:22Is that you, darling?
00:19:23What?
00:19:24Daddy's got over such a nice mink coat for baby,
00:19:27if baby will lunch with daddy today.
00:19:30Daddy could get off the line and go to...
00:19:33Go where?
00:19:34Oh, you saucy old sea dog.
00:19:39Well, they're all awake now and all to pot.
00:19:42Right, General, now for phase two of the operation.
00:19:44Carry on, Miss Cares, the roll cannot start.
00:19:47I shall await the complaints.
00:19:50And here they are.
00:19:56Hello.
00:20:00Would you care to address your complaint to the manager?
00:20:03I certainly would.
00:20:07You're through.
00:20:08Is that the manager?
00:20:10Well, tell him to manage this hotel properly.
00:20:12Is that the manager?
00:20:13Well, manage this hotel properly.
00:20:15Who the devil do you think you're talking to?
00:20:18I'm talking to you. You're inefficient.
00:20:20Your staff's incompetent and ill-mannered.
00:20:22Your staff's incompetent and ill-mannered.
00:20:24The sooner he pulls himself together, the better.
00:20:26And the sooner you pull yourself together, the better.
00:20:29Operator?
00:20:31Yes?
00:20:32Kindly connect me with the manager at once.
00:20:34The manager, Miss?
00:20:36At once. We wish to make a complaint.
00:20:39Certainly, Miss. I'll put you through.
00:20:43Yes?
00:20:44How dare you allow such things to happen in a decent, respectable hotel?
00:20:47I beg your pardon?
00:20:49It's bad enough to ring us up in a state of intoxication at 5 o'clock in the morning,
00:20:52but to make a suggestion of that nature over the telephone...
00:20:56We're coming down to see you at once, and we shan't wait to put on our clothes.
00:21:06Ruby!
00:21:07Just a minute.
00:21:08Why, give me the chair.
00:21:10Ruby!
00:21:11Just a minute.
00:21:12Why?
00:21:13Give me the tray.
00:21:14What for?
00:21:15You're not working today.
00:21:16And why not?
00:21:17Mr. Darling's orders.
00:21:18Don't tell me I've got the sack. Is it from the singing again?
00:21:20No.
00:21:21Are the hotel guests complaining about my voice?
00:21:24No, they love it.
00:21:25But we don't particularly want them to be happy this morning.
00:21:28Who's we?
00:21:29Me and Mr. Darling.
00:21:30Shall I sing flat, then?
00:21:31No, just give me the tray and stop asking questions.
00:21:35By the holy saints, what's going on in this hotel, and on such a morning?
00:21:44Mrs. Lovejoy?
00:21:45Who wants me now?
00:21:47Surprise, surprise.
00:21:49Your husband.
00:21:50My what?
00:21:51He's on his way up.
00:21:53Mr. Bollinger.
00:21:54What is it, Myrtle?
00:21:58All in, all in.
00:22:02Time.
00:22:03Here we are, then.
00:22:04Come along, come along, come along, come along.
00:22:06Now, wakey, wakey.
00:22:07Come along, Mrs. Grubbock.
00:22:09That's the style.
00:22:10You're mine, do you hear?
00:22:12You're mine.
00:22:13You'll always be mine.
00:22:14Now, coffee, black or white?
00:22:16Black.
00:22:17Here we are.
00:22:18That's the style.
00:22:19Help yourself.
00:22:20I want the coffee.
00:22:21I want the coffee.
00:22:22I want the coffee.
00:22:23Not your turn.
00:22:24It is too.
00:22:25Hey, Mom.
00:22:26What goes on?
00:22:28Yeah, what goes on?
00:22:30Don't ask me.
00:22:31Howard!
00:22:33Howard!
00:22:35Did you call, dear?
00:22:46The hotel's gone raving mad this morning.
00:22:48I think darling's had a brain storm.
00:22:50You know what I received for my breakfast?
00:22:52Oh, I'm all waiting to see the manager.
00:23:01Yes, sir, of course.
00:23:02I'll look into it personally.
00:23:04Right, sir.
00:23:05There's another dozen residents waiting outside.
00:23:07With complaints?
00:23:08With complaints.
00:23:09Very well, I'll send them in one by one.
00:23:15This is London, England.
00:23:16Excuse me.
00:23:17I just can't read this.
00:23:18Do you think the luggage is on the car?
00:23:20One moment, sir.
00:23:21The taxi's waiting and your cases are packed in it.
00:23:24And now, sir, if you'll kindly take a powder.
00:23:27With pleasure.
00:23:28If there are any messages, we've moved to the rich.
00:23:31Hey, Mom!
00:23:33She'll be back.
00:23:34Come along, kids.
00:23:37Oh, sweet.
00:23:42Hold on, Porter.
00:23:43Hold on, Porter.
00:23:44Come along, ma'am.
00:23:49Aye, sir.
00:23:50My luggage.
00:23:51I'm leaving at once.
00:23:52Oh, good show, sir.
00:23:53Good show.
00:23:54And, Snotty, warn the ministers to stand by.
00:23:57The Admiral's going ashore.
00:23:58He's come all over seasick.
00:24:17There can't be many left now.
00:24:19I haven't had a call on here for two hours.
00:24:21Hatchard can't hold out much longer.
00:24:23But Miss Trott and Miss Pickles haven't left yet.
00:24:25They will.
00:24:26Why?
00:24:27I've sent them to the theatre.
00:24:36What you doing, ducks?
00:24:37Very many, see?
00:24:46Very well, darling.
00:24:47You win.
00:24:48Win, sir?
00:24:49But why have you tore up my contract?
00:24:51Because you're fired.
00:24:52Fired, sir?
00:24:53Yes, I don't know what's got into you.
00:24:55It wasn't my fault, sir.
00:24:56You see, they, they told me to do it.
00:25:01They?
00:25:02Yes.
00:25:03What on earth are you talking about?
00:25:04Who's they?
00:25:05My voices.
00:25:06You see, the little people, they're my friends.
00:25:08And they talk to me.
00:25:12They're calling me now.
00:25:15I can't hear anything.
00:25:17Nor can I.
00:25:18Ah, yes.
00:25:19There they are.
00:25:20Those dear little voices ringing through the barrier of time.
00:25:25Ah, they're everywhere.
00:25:27Are they?
00:25:28Yes.
00:25:29Listen, you can hear them.
00:25:30I should turn on tiptoe if I were you.
00:25:33Yes, I can hear them faintly.
00:25:34Faintly?
00:25:35I'm absolutely deafened.
00:25:37Well, now, look, may I suggest you go and get your things packed,
00:25:39and then you can leave just when you like.
00:25:41That's a good idea.
00:25:42Wait.
00:25:43I must ask them.
00:25:44Yes.
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:46Yes.
00:25:47Yes.
00:25:48They said yes.
00:25:49They say, leave this place, William, darling,
00:25:53for thy work is done.
00:25:55Yes, that's the idea.
00:25:56Wait a minute.
00:25:57They're talking again.
00:25:58What do they want now?
00:25:59Give them a chance.
00:26:00Oh, yes.
00:26:01They want this.
00:26:02Pardon me.
00:26:03Get out and stay out.
00:26:07Oh, dear.
00:26:09Ah, yes.
00:26:23Oh, dear.
00:26:54Oh, dear.
00:27:16Blame me.
00:27:18That's the best.
00:27:19Blame me.
00:27:21Blame me.
00:27:22Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Business is lovely. Ha-ha.
00:27:52Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha.
00:28:22Oh, I've had this.
00:28:52Ha-ha. Ha-ha. Ha-ha.
00:29:22Certainly, madame. As usual, yes.
00:29:25But... what?
00:29:27Oh, that's funny, listen.
00:29:29No, but... what?
00:29:31Oh, no.
00:29:33Oh, no.
00:29:34Oh, no. Not that, madame. No.
00:29:36Ah, well, madame.
00:29:38Good.
00:29:39Of course.
00:29:40Goodbye, madame.
00:29:42Monsieur.
00:29:43Oh, yes.
00:29:44Have you any post for me, please?
00:29:46Post?
00:29:47Post.
00:29:48Oh, post.
00:29:51I believe it's a postcard, monsieur.
00:29:55Dear Bill, everything is fine here, except that it's raining.
00:29:59How's your sleepy lagoon?
00:30:01Have you met any French girls yet?
00:30:03Love, Rose.
00:30:05Have I met any French girls yet?
00:30:07Give us a chance.
00:30:09Can I get you anything, monsieur?
00:30:10Yes, a... a card.
00:30:12A card?
00:30:13Card.
00:30:14A postcard!
00:30:15Of course.
00:30:17Here it is.
00:30:19And a pen.
00:30:20Merci.
00:30:21Je vous en prie.
00:30:24Dear Rose,
00:30:26having a smashing time
00:30:30dining tate a tate tonight
00:30:34with a lovely creature
00:30:37who finds me irresistible.
00:30:41So, there.
00:30:43Love, Bill.
00:30:45There.
00:30:47Could you post that for me, please?
00:30:49Certainly, monsieur.
00:30:51You will let me know if there is anything that I can arrange for you.
00:30:54I shall let you know post-haste.
00:30:56Haste.
00:31:17Haste.

00:32:33How do you do?
00:32:34Oh, thank you.
00:32:36You like it?
00:32:37Yes.
00:32:38My dance?
00:32:39Oh, yes.
00:32:40Très good.
00:32:41Good.
00:32:42I'm so glad you have come.
00:32:44Oh, I see a cousin of mine.
00:32:46Oh, there.
00:32:47She's a nice girl, you know.
00:32:48From Bordeaux.
00:32:49Oh, where the wine comes from.
00:32:50Yes.
00:32:51Shall we invite her to join us?
00:32:53Of course.
00:32:54Jeannette!
00:32:55Viens voir la verre.
00:32:56Jeannette, Bill.
00:32:57How do you do?
00:32:58Qu'est-ce que tu bois?
00:32:59Champagne.
00:33:00Champagne, of course.
00:33:01André!
00:33:02Madame.
00:33:03Champagne.
00:33:04Yes, madame.
00:33:05Je comprends.
00:33:06Allez, viens.
00:33:07Allez, hop.
00:33:08Il aime ça, le champagne, non?
00:33:09Oh!
00:33:10Oh, les poupées!

00:33:19Oh!
00:33:20Oh!
00:33:21Oh!
00:33:22Oh!
00:33:23Ah!
00:33:26Ah!
00:33:30Ah!
00:33:32Ah!
00:33:35Oh!
00:33:37Ah!
00:33:42Your bill.
00:33:43Am I?
00:33:44Oh, yes.
00:33:45Bill.
00:33:46I must have been drunk last night.
00:33:47Monsieur.
00:33:48I shouldn't have brought this place otherwise.
00:33:49But you did not buy the place, monsieur.
00:33:50The bill was for your evening's entertainment.
00:33:51What, one evening?
00:33:52What, all this?
00:33:53You've gone berserk with the notes.
00:33:54Look at this.
00:33:55It's...
00:33:56This is ridiculous.
00:33:57I'm not paying that.
00:33:58Not once through.
00:33:59Alphonse.
00:34:00I wouldn't...
00:34:01Alphonse.
00:34:02Alphonse.
00:34:03Alphonse.
00:34:04Alphonse.
00:34:05Alphonse.
00:34:06Alphonse.
00:34:07Alphonse.
00:34:08Alphonse.
00:34:09Alphonse.
00:34:10Alphonse.
00:34:11Alphonse.
00:34:12Alphonse.
00:34:13Alphonse.
00:34:14Alphonse.
00:34:15No, I wouldn't...
00:34:16Well, where is it?
00:34:17Well...
00:34:18Oh, here you are.
00:34:19Merci, monsieur.
00:34:20Et le pouvoir, monsieur.
00:34:21What, do you want blood?
00:34:22What am I saying?
00:34:23There you are.
00:34:24Merry Christmas.
00:34:25Merci, monsieur.
00:34:26Let's see what you've got.
00:34:38Entendu. Tout de suite.
00:34:40Volant vitesse 604. Victor, 302.
00:34:43Oui.
00:34:44Monsieur requires some assistance.
00:34:46Huh?
00:34:47Monsieur is maybe seeking some further amusement.
00:34:50No, thanks. No.
00:34:51We can arrange a charlatan trip to Monte Carlo.
00:34:53Tennis. Golf.
00:34:55Monsieur is a golf player?
00:34:56Monsieur is a hall porter.
00:34:58Or at least was.
00:35:00Oh, yes.
00:35:01Yes. London. Royal Connaught Hotel.
00:35:03Oh, I hear of the Royal Connaught.
00:35:05A fine hotel.
00:35:07So you and I are, how you say,
00:35:09brothers under the counter.
00:35:11Oui.
00:35:12Are you happy in your work?
00:35:13But certainly.
00:35:15So was I, till I came into money and gave it up.
00:35:18Possibly Monsieur is disillusioned by the life of leisure
00:35:21and yearning for his uniform again.
00:35:23Certainly not.
00:35:24Monsieur just finds the place excruciatingly dull, that's all.
00:35:27Nothing to do here at all. Nothing.
00:35:29Did you manage to fix the launch for this afternoon?
00:35:31Yes, sir. It is arranged.
00:35:32It will be at the landing stage at 3 o'clock with your skis.
00:35:35Thank you so much.
00:35:36Come on, darling.
00:35:37Skis?
00:35:38Well, it's not snowing, is it?
00:35:39Water skis.
00:35:41Oh.
00:35:42Most exhilarating.
00:35:43You try?
00:35:45I try.
00:35:54I try.
00:36:14Okay.
00:36:16Stop.
00:36:20All right.
00:36:22Ouch.
00:36:23Let me in.
00:36:26You've got to pass.
00:36:27Pass.
00:36:34Oh.
00:36:35Oh.
00:36:36Let me in.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40No.
00:36:43And what other jolly games can you suggest?
00:36:46Let me see.
00:36:48Underwater swimming and fishing is very popular here.
00:36:52Is it?
00:36:53Oh, yes, monsieur.
00:36:54Very popular.
00:36:55You try?
00:36:58I try.
00:36:59You try?
00:37:02I try.
00:37:22Oh.
00:37:23Ah!
00:37:26Any man?
00:37:30Louis.
00:37:31Sir?
00:37:34Louis, have you got any nice indoor games with no suffering attached?
00:37:39There is the casino, monsieur, if you are still looking for a thrill.
00:37:43Any girls?
00:37:45Roulette, monsieur.
00:37:46You try?
00:37:48I try.
00:37:55Say, old man, you're in the chips.
00:37:58Yes.
00:37:59I'd rather have the other kind with vinegar.
00:38:01Oh, homesick for the old country.
00:38:03I'll say.
00:38:04How long have you been out here?
00:38:05Oh, five months.
00:38:06It's dead easy if you're lucky at roulette.
00:38:08I've just run through my third chance currency allowance for the year.
00:38:11Have you?
00:38:12When we've used up our daily helps as well, the wife and I are going to wash dishes.
00:38:15We must have our fortnight on the river every year.
00:38:18The only thing that makes life worth living.
00:38:24Have this lot and have the Riviera as well.
00:38:26I'm going back to dear old London tomorrow and I hope it's raining.
00:38:30At the end of a pitch.
00:38:53Here.
00:38:54Blimey, it's you.
00:38:56Hello, Sid.
00:38:57What's happened?
00:38:58Well, the place is closed.
00:38:59I'm here as caretaker with the time being.
00:39:00It's up for sale.
00:39:01I don't believe it.
00:39:02It's a fact.
00:39:08You oughtn't to be in here, you know.
00:39:09I mean, this is Crown property.
00:39:11I'm as much right as you have.
00:39:12No, you haven't.
00:39:13I mean, this is going to be government offices.
00:39:15Government offices?
00:39:16Yes.
00:39:17How do you know?
00:39:18See them two blokes over there?
00:39:20They're from the Ministry of Health.
00:39:21They're here to negotiate a settlement.
00:39:23But I tell you, you oughtn't to be here.
00:39:25I mean, you'll get me into trouble.
00:39:26Listen, what happened to Rose?
00:39:28Rose?
00:39:29Oh, she got the push weeks ago.
00:39:31Did she?
00:39:32Yes, I was here the other day round the corner at the tea shop.
00:39:34Yes, she's working at a photographer's.
00:39:36A photographer's?
00:39:37Cut a lift place.
00:39:38OK.
00:39:39Thanks, Sid.
00:39:40I'll be seeing you.
00:39:41Well, I can't get a model at ten minutes' notice.
00:39:43Now, can I?
00:39:45Oh, heaven knows what Mr. Flick will say.
00:39:47He's coming all the way up from Sudbury and...
00:39:49What's that?
00:39:51Goodbye.
00:39:59Rose!
00:40:01Bill!
00:40:03Oh!
00:40:04Oh, dear!
00:40:05Oh, wonderful to see you.
00:40:07I can't believe it.
00:40:08When did you get back?
00:40:09Only a couple of hours ago.
00:40:11But, darling, what's happened to the old pub?
00:40:13Oh, it's a sad story.
00:40:15Why, what happened?
00:40:16Well, soon after you left and most of the residents too, we all got our cards.
00:40:20But because of the mess I made, you mean?
00:40:22Oh, indirectly, I suppose.
00:40:24You see, you were indispensable.
00:40:26The place just emptied and went bust.
00:40:28Oh, dear.
00:40:29We've all had a pretty thin time, Bill.
00:40:31Oh, I'm sorry.
00:40:32Well, after what happened at the Royal Connaught,
00:40:34none of the other London hotels would employ us.
00:40:37So I took this job.
00:40:38But why didn't you let me know?
00:40:40Oh, I didn't want to spoil your holiday
00:40:42when you were having such a wonderful time.
00:40:44Wonderful time? Huh!
00:40:46What?
00:40:47Oh, it was lousy.
00:40:48But you said in your postcards...
00:40:50I know I did.
00:40:51Why?
00:40:52Well, I mean, I, you know...
00:40:54Anyhow, the thing is this.
00:40:55I must get back into uniform.
00:40:57I must get back into a hotel.
00:40:59That's my métier.
00:41:00Your what?
00:41:02Métier.
00:41:03It's something I picked up in France.
00:41:05It's all I did pick up too.
00:41:07Well, anyhow, what's he like?
00:41:08Who?
00:41:09Not him.
00:41:10He's a...
00:41:11No, you know, Mr. Watson.
00:41:12The man who runs it.
00:41:13Oh, very excitable and very vague.
00:41:16Is he?
00:41:17Oh, he'll be here in a minute and then he'll create.
00:41:19Why?
00:41:20Well, you see, he leaves all the office work to me.
00:41:22We do commercial photography here.
00:41:24You know, adverts and all that.
00:41:26Well, I make the appointments, engage the models.
00:41:28And he just blows in, photographs them and then blows out again.
00:41:31And he'll win.
00:41:33We're supposed to be doing a new shaving cream this morning, but I can't get a face.
00:41:37But darling, you've got a lovely face.
00:41:39No, the models.
00:41:41Oh.
00:41:42Well, Mr. Flick's coming all the way from Sudbury.
00:41:44And none of the agencies...
00:41:46Shh!
00:41:47Here he comes.
00:41:48Now for the fireworks.
00:41:51Well, come along.
00:41:52Come along to work, to work.
00:41:56Ah, how do you do?
00:41:58Yes, I can see you're the model for before.
00:42:00Where's the one for after?
00:42:01Hmm.
00:42:02A wit?
00:42:03A what?
00:42:04No, a wit.
00:42:05Hmm, yes.
00:42:07If you'll kindly let me know when you're ready, Miss Blake.
00:42:10Come along now.
00:42:11We haven't got all day.
00:42:12Mr. Flick...
00:42:13I cannot hear a word that you are saying.
00:42:15Will you speak up, girl?
00:42:16I said I haven't...
00:42:17Come along for goodness sake.
00:42:18Now, gentlemen, let's be rid of him.
00:42:20Oh, these gruesome commercial sessions.
00:42:23The model's only just arrived.
00:42:25Well, is that my fault?
00:42:26Make haste.
00:42:27Bill, please help me or I'll get the sack.
00:42:30Take a coat off, please.
00:42:31Now, what is today's product?
00:42:33Get the props ready.
00:42:34What's the product?
00:42:35Come along, come along.
00:42:36Casey's shaving cream.
00:42:37Everything's ready.
00:42:38Very well.
00:42:39Prepare the model.
00:42:40Come on, come on.
00:42:41No, no, you.
00:42:42On the throne.
00:42:43No crown.
00:42:44Now then, let's have it on nice and thick.
00:42:47Make it gorgeously creamy.
00:42:49They're such fiends, these soap kings, you know.
00:42:52Now, while I check through yesterday's proofs,
00:42:54you finish him off.
00:42:55Let me finish him off.
00:42:57No, Bill.
00:43:03No wonder they call me Joe Soap.
00:43:05But Bill, if you miss the old hotel life so much,
00:43:08why not start one of your own?
00:43:10Yes, I will.
00:43:11What with?
00:43:12Well, don't tell me you've spent all the 10,000 pounds.
00:43:1510,000 pounds?
00:43:1610,000 pounds.
00:43:17My goodness, that's a wonderful idea.
00:43:19That's wonderful.
00:43:20Why didn't I think of that?
00:43:22That's it.
00:43:23That's it.
00:43:24Now, that's it.
00:43:25There we are.
00:43:26Now, we'll go right round to the solicitor.
00:43:29But Bill, you can't.
00:43:30You're the face.
00:43:31I'll be sad.
00:43:32It doesn't matter.
00:43:33Not now.
00:43:34Come on.
00:43:35What?
00:43:36What's happening?
00:43:37Where are you going, Miss Blake?
00:43:38Please, please, please.
00:43:39We must have quiet, mustn't we?
00:43:40Mush.
00:43:41Now listen.
00:43:42You are going to need a new secretary and a new face.
00:43:45Oh, definitely.
00:43:48But Bill.
00:43:49What?
00:43:50There's nothing to stop you acquiring the premises if you want to.
00:43:53Isn't there?
00:43:54No, it's just a matter of outbidding the Ministry of Health for the lease.
00:43:57Oh, that's all?
00:43:58How much?
00:43:59Well, I gather they're offering 8,000.
00:44:01Are they?
00:44:02You'll have to better them and find enough capital to operate with.
00:44:05Oh, dear.
00:44:06I hate operations.
00:44:07Well, haven't you any rich clients who would put up some more money and back us?
00:44:11As a matter of fact, I have a little syndicate up north.
00:44:13Have you?
00:44:14Yes.
00:44:15They're interested in backing hotels.
00:44:16Three of them.
00:44:17Hardcastle May and Golightclay.
00:44:19Oh, dear.
00:44:20Never mind, as long as they're rich.
00:44:21Good, solid businessmen.
00:44:22All three.
00:44:23I'll get in touch with them for you.
00:44:24That's right.
00:44:25See what you can touch them for.
00:44:26The best thing would be to get the place open and running
00:44:29and then invite the three of them down south to spend a weekend at the hotel.
00:44:32Try it as an investment.
00:44:34Bill, you're in business.
00:44:35Just think you're going to own a hotel and run it yourself.
00:44:38A hotel?
00:44:39Myself?
00:44:40No, no.
00:44:41With a staff, of course.
00:44:42What staff?
00:44:43Well, that's easy.
00:44:44We'll try and round up the old gang.
00:44:45Well, on her chart.
00:44:46Not him.
00:44:47You'll be manager now.
00:44:49Yes.
00:44:50Oh, yes.
00:44:51And you'll get in touch with those businessmen from the north.
00:44:54Certainly.
00:44:55Now, look, supposing your offer is accepted, how soon can you reopen?
00:44:59In two shakes of a chambermaid's duster.
00:45:01Ha-ha!
00:45:02Oh.
00:45:14No, I've still to contact Gladys and one or two of the others.
00:45:30Yes, Fred's helping me.
00:45:32Bill?
00:45:33What?
00:45:34They're all here.
00:45:35Now?
00:45:36Well, they're not ready yet.
00:45:37No, no.
00:45:38The staff.
00:45:39Oh, good.
00:45:40I've rounded them up.
00:45:41They're in the hall now.
00:45:42I thought it might be nice if you could say a few words to them.
00:45:44Words?
00:45:45Encourage them.
00:45:46Oh.
00:45:47Come on.
00:45:48All right.
00:45:49Ah, hello.
00:45:50Is that all right?
00:45:51Here he is.
00:45:52Oh, so sorry.
00:45:53I've told them the plans.
00:45:55Good.
00:45:56Well, boys and girls, this is our big chance.
00:45:58Any questions?
00:45:59Yes.
00:46:00Is this on the level?
00:46:01It wouldn't be one of your little larks, Bill, eh?
00:46:03Of course it's not.
00:46:05Bill's all right.
00:46:06He wouldn't make a fool of us, would you, Bill?
00:46:08Of course it's on the level.
00:46:09We ought to be grateful to Mr. Darling for his generosity, or we'd still be out of work.
00:46:14Who put us out of a job in the first place?
00:46:16Listen, Davy Crockett, go and clean your buttons.
00:46:19And put some soap in the gentleman's cloakroom.
00:46:22OK.
00:46:23You can rely on me.
00:46:24What do you say, sir?
00:46:26Well, I vote we all have a go, for old time's sake.
00:46:28Yes, yes.
00:46:29For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:46:31For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:46:33For he's a jolly good fellow.
00:46:36And so say all of us.
00:46:38Three cheers for Mr. Darling.
00:46:40Hip hip...
00:46:41Hooray!
00:46:42Hip hip...
00:46:43Hooray!
00:46:44Hip hip...
00:46:45Hooray!
00:46:47Well, we're in business.
00:46:53Purchase here.
00:46:54Good morning, Mr. Purchase.
00:46:55We're all ready for them.
00:47:09In an hour's time, right.
00:47:11Are we what?
00:47:12I said I hope you're nice and full.
00:47:14Full?
00:47:15Oh, Lord!
00:47:16I'd better call you back.
00:47:20Bill!
00:47:22We're in terrible trouble.
00:47:24Why, what's up?
00:47:25The backers are expected at any moment,
00:47:27and we've forgotten something important.
00:47:29What?
00:47:30We haven't any residents.
00:47:32No residents?
00:47:33It's awful, isn't it?
00:47:34What?
00:47:35We've only got an hour.
00:47:36What can we do?
00:47:37Now, let me think.
00:47:38Let me think.
00:47:39Now, let me think.
00:47:40I must think.
00:47:41That's it.
00:47:42That's it.
00:47:43Now, look.
00:47:44Here's my last 50 quid.
00:47:45If this doesn't work, we've had it.
00:47:47That won't be long, for goodness sake.
00:47:49Where am I going?
00:47:50Shopping.
00:47:51What for?
00:47:52Oh, now, look.
00:47:53Listen.
00:47:54The hotel is well-situated in a busy and fashionable quarter of London.
00:47:58Well, there you are, gentlemen.
00:48:00A very good investment.
00:48:01You must be very happy.
00:48:03Well, there you are, gentlemen.
00:48:04A very good investment.
00:48:05You must admit.
00:48:06Sounds interesting.
00:48:07I?
00:48:08My?
00:48:09Why don't we go and have a look at the place?
00:48:12Aye, that's right.
00:48:14It's all arranged.
00:48:15I've reserved rooms for you for the weekend.
00:48:17I suggest you go along and check in now.
00:48:19You'll find it a jolly place.
00:48:21Congenial, good food, excellent service,
00:48:23and a very nice type of clientele.
00:48:25Right.
00:48:27Come on, lads.
00:48:28We'll have a look anyway.
00:48:33Let me take this for you, gentlemen.
00:49:03Reception's just over there, sir.
00:49:10Oh, sincere condolences.
00:49:11Not at all.
00:49:17I beg your pardon?
00:49:18Good afternoon, Duchess.
00:49:20Your sweet's all ready for you.
00:49:22Very well, girl.
00:49:23Kindly have our impedimenta sent up.
00:49:26Certainly, Your Grace.
00:49:28Ah, what a delightful start.
00:49:30Oh, delicious.
00:49:31Oh, yes.
00:49:32This is quite the nicest hotel in London or Paris or New York.
00:49:36Oh, Moscow.
00:49:37Oh, quite.
00:49:38Yes.
00:49:39Come, Jeremy.
00:49:40Move on.
00:49:46Now, gentlemen, the hotel is very full just now.
00:49:50Have you reservations?
00:49:51Aye, we'd better have.
00:49:52Seeing as how we might be putting money into this dump.
00:49:55Oh, then you must be Mr. Hardcastle.
00:49:58I'm Mr. Hardcastle.
00:49:59Go lightly.
00:50:00May.
00:50:01Uh, Mr. Purchase has arranged your accommodation.
00:50:04If you would be so good as to sign the register, the hall porter will be down shortly.
00:50:09Hey, uh, what's a duchess doing in a public hotel like this?
00:50:13The Duchess of Pullborough is one of our oldest clients.
00:50:16Oh, Duchess of Pullborough.
00:50:19Sid, stop the lift.
00:50:21We're between two floors.
00:50:22I know.
00:50:23Stop it.
00:50:24What for?
00:50:25We've got to get changed.
00:50:26Now, look.
00:50:27Your stuff's in the big case.
00:50:28My stuff's in the small case.
00:50:29Why?
00:50:30Because those three taps will want to go to their rooms now.
00:50:32Come on.
00:50:33We'd like to see our rooms now, wouldn't we, lads?
00:50:36Inspect the property, like.
00:50:37Aye.
00:50:38Yes, of course.
00:50:39The lift will be down in a moment.
00:50:41Never mind the lift.
00:50:42We'll take the stairs.
00:50:43Oh, no, you must take the lift.
00:50:45Dear.
00:50:46Give us a kiss now.
00:50:48We haven't bought the place yet.
00:50:50Be it for yourself.
00:50:52Oh.
00:50:53What?
00:50:55You've got the braces.
00:50:56Where?
00:51:01While you're waiting for the lift, how about trying our cocktail bar?
00:51:05It's just through there.
00:51:07I could do with a wet.
00:51:08Oh, I agree.
00:51:09All right, lads.
00:51:10It'll be on the house.
00:51:11Yes, of course.
00:51:14Come on.
00:51:15Let's have a drink.
00:51:16Hey, wait a minute.
00:51:17I think we'd better go upstairs and see if our bags are safe first.
00:51:20I thought that page was a bit too nippy with them.
00:51:23Well, if that page was good enough for a duchess, it's good enough for you.
00:51:26Now, don't argue.
00:51:27The young lady said it was on the house.
00:51:29I've been caught that way before.
00:51:31Here.
00:51:32Wait a minute.
00:51:37Did you say drinks on the house, though?
00:51:39Drinks, yes.
00:51:43I warned you.
00:51:44Business before pleasure.
00:51:45Our phone can come later.
00:51:47You keep to business.
00:51:48Oh, it's a very nice business.
00:51:54Hello?
00:51:55They're just going into the cocktail bar.
00:51:57You know what to do.
00:51:58Leave it to us.
00:52:00Girls!
00:52:01Girls!
00:52:02Leave your bedrooms now.
00:52:04Take up your positions in the cocktail bar.
00:52:06Go in the back way and hurry.
00:52:10Oh, dear.
00:52:11What's about right?
00:52:12Huh?
00:52:13Oh, yes.
00:52:15Right.
00:52:16Come back to the first floor.
00:52:17Right.
00:52:18And what about Manchester last year at Bellevue?
00:52:19All that trouble with the waitress in the monkey house.
00:52:21Why, even the animals was outraged.
00:52:23I was properly ashamed.
00:52:24I really was.
00:52:25I was properly ashamed.
00:52:26OK.
00:52:27Ground floor.
00:52:28Right.
00:52:35The lift is at your service.
00:52:39Gentlemen, the lift's here now if you want to go up and see your rooms.
00:52:43He's quieter with the drink inside him.
00:52:45He's not going to have a drink.
00:52:47I'm more concerned with my bags.
00:52:48You don't realize, do you?
00:52:49He can bust from one end to the other.
00:52:53Quick, Fred.
00:52:54They're coming in here.
00:52:55Pour us a cocktail each.
00:52:56We'll not drink them.
00:52:57OK.
00:52:58It's actions from fraternity.
00:53:01I tell you.
00:53:02All right.
00:53:03And we can have a look at the chambermaids.
00:53:04Ah, gentlemen.
00:53:05Welcome to our hotel.
00:53:07Who's he?
00:53:08This is our manager.
00:53:09He's a darling.
00:53:10I mean, this is Mr. Darling, our manager.
00:53:13I trust you'll be comfortable, gentlemen.
00:53:15Your rooms 301, 203.
00:53:18Would you care to sit?
00:53:24Girls!
00:53:25I'm sorry.
00:53:26Upstairs again.
00:53:27They're not coming in here yet.
00:53:28Get back to the bedrooms in case they ring for you.
00:53:30Why can't they make up their minds?
00:53:32Don't ask me.
00:53:35Third floor, gentlemen.
00:53:36Your rooms are 301, 302, 303.
00:53:39Really, Millicent.
00:53:41Mummy will be frightfully cross
00:53:43if you refuse to lunch with the Marquis.
00:53:45After all, he's reasonably civilized
00:53:47and filthy with money.
00:53:49And filthy without it.
00:53:50Well?
00:53:51All right, Mummy, if you say so.
00:53:53That's right, dear.
00:53:58There you are, Herbert.
00:53:59I warned you this place was push.
00:54:01Aye.
00:54:02Lucky we brought the old soup and fish.
00:54:04We'll have to tog ourselves up for evening meal.
00:54:06I'll have a pin of that, me man.
00:54:08I'll then cuss them over.
00:54:09That's yours.
00:54:10Herbert, which one do you want?
00:54:11I'm easy.
00:54:12Three or three will do me.
00:54:13I expect they're all the same size.
00:54:15Right, I hope we get ourselves cleaned up.
00:54:17Aye.
00:54:18Mine's locked.
00:54:19Mine too.
00:54:20Where's chambermaid?
00:54:21Aye.
00:54:22Just coming, gentlemen.
00:54:23We always keep the rooms locked, you see,
00:54:26in case of burglars.
00:54:27There's so many wealthy residents.
00:54:30There you are, sir.
00:54:32Now you, sir.
00:54:33We're all right for a moment while they're in their rooms.
00:54:36Oh, they'll be down soon enough.
00:54:37Don't you worry.
00:54:38I wonder if they'll go into the bar before lunch
00:54:40or straight into the dining room.
00:54:42That's it, that's it.
00:54:43We can't possibly fill both.
00:54:44We haven't enough bodies.
00:54:46Bodies.
00:54:47I wonder if the mortuary...
00:54:48No, that's no good.
00:54:49No.
00:54:50Look, we must fill the foyer.
00:54:51They'll expect it full at lunchtime.
00:54:53We'll manage as long as they stick together.
00:54:55But once they separate...
00:54:56Don't.
00:54:57Oh, don't even suggest it.
00:55:08Now, as soon as they come in,
00:55:20start chattering and eat and enjoy it.
00:55:23Eat what?
00:55:24Bread.
00:55:25That's all there is.
00:55:26The kitchen staff are on duty elsewhere.
00:55:27Now, you've only to keep it up for a few minutes
00:55:29just while they come down in the lift,
00:55:31cross the foyer and into the dining room.
00:55:33Then rally over by the desk for further orders.
00:55:35Now, we'll have one more rehearsal.
00:55:37All right, George.
00:55:38Give out the hats.
00:55:39Come on.
00:55:40Here we go.
00:55:42There.
00:55:43That'll do you.
00:55:45Now, don't forget.
00:55:47Coat on and third hat.
00:55:48Coat off and second hat.
00:55:50Coat on and third hat.
00:55:51Okay, into position.
00:55:53All right.
00:55:54Okay, let's have a rehearsal.
00:55:55Right, go.
00:55:56Come on.
00:55:57Oh, yes, how lovely.
00:55:59That's it, that's it.
00:56:01Don't wear yourselves out.
00:56:02Soon for later.
00:56:03Now, what else?
00:56:04They're ringing the bells upstairs.
00:56:05They want a valet, a waiter and a chambermaid.
00:56:07Quickly.
00:56:08All right, all right.
00:56:09I'll see to it.
00:56:10You sit down.
00:56:11I'll see to it.
00:56:14Come in.
00:56:18You rang, sir?
00:56:20Give these trousers a press.
00:56:21There's a good lad.
00:56:22Certainly, sir.
00:56:23In one tick.
00:56:29Come in.
00:56:33Yes, sir?
00:56:38Never mind.
00:56:45You have rung for a waiter, monsieur?
00:56:47Aye, bring me a gin and tonic.
00:56:48A large one.
00:56:49Certainly, monsieur.
00:56:51With pleasure.
00:56:53And step on it.
00:56:54Oh, I go, monsieur.
00:56:56I scupper.
00:57:02Sir?
00:57:06Herbert?
00:57:07Coming.
00:57:08It's lunchtime.
00:57:09Aye, it's just gone to one.
00:57:10I'm hungry.
00:57:11Come on.
00:57:18Mr. Darling, look out.
00:57:21Mr. Darling, Mr. Darling.
00:57:22They're coming, quick.
00:57:23Keep calm, keep calm.
00:57:25You've lost to one.
00:57:26Now, stand by, everybody, stand by.
00:57:28Come on.
00:57:30Now, look sharp.
00:57:31Okay, chef.
00:57:32There's my butter.
00:57:33No, you don't.
00:57:34I'll fetch it myself.
00:57:35Now, keep calm.
00:57:36Keep calm.
00:57:49Here they come.
00:57:50Get ready, everyone.
00:57:55Here we are, gentlemen.
00:57:56Here we are, gentlemen.
00:57:57Ground floor.
00:58:27Gentlemen, lunch is now being served.
00:58:37May I escort you?
00:58:38Aye.
00:58:39How about a bite to eat, lads?
00:58:40Well, I wouldn't say no, myself.
00:58:41How about having a nice drink in the bar first?
00:58:42Aye, the tougher, quicker.
00:58:43No, no.
00:58:44Oh, I hope we have something to eat.
00:58:45Good.
00:58:46Yes.
00:58:47Make up your minds.
00:58:48Yes, madam.
00:58:49I think we can just manage to squeeze you in.
00:58:51Admiral who?
00:58:52Admiral Sir William Gale.
00:58:53Yes, sir.
00:58:54Your suite is confirmed for the 16th.
00:58:55Busy, eh?
00:58:56Simply rushed off our feet, sir.
00:58:57Well, I fancy a nice big drink.
00:58:58Well, I fancy a nice big feed myself.
00:58:59Me too.
00:59:00Right, you two lads go and feed your faces.
00:59:01I'll join you later.
00:59:02Here, where do you see this bar?
00:59:03Here.
00:59:04Here.
00:59:05Here.
00:59:06Here.
00:59:07Here.
00:59:08Here.

00:59:16Here.
00:59:17Here.
00:59:18Here.
00:59:19There.
00:59:20Where do you see this bar?
00:59:21Here.
00:59:22Where do you see this bar?
00:59:23Yes, the bar.
00:59:24Yes.
00:59:25Erm.
00:59:26Excuse me.
00:59:27How trippy in the club.
00:59:28You get the bar filled up with people.
00:59:29But let him drink this.
00:59:30Now, you'd like a wash, wouldn't you sir?
00:59:31Em.
00:59:32Wash, your hands.
00:59:33No.
00:59:34No, I wouldn't wanna wash upstairs.
00:59:36Yes, you do.
00:59:37Well, what's up with you?
00:59:38There we are.
00:59:39Cleaner, Jennifer.
00:59:40Clean!
00:59:41And here we are, look.
00:59:44Ow!
00:59:45Now!
00:59:51Your table, gentlemen.
01:00:04Where's Golightly?
01:00:05Locked in the loo.
01:00:06Well, you can let him out now because they're ready in the bar.
01:00:09All right.
01:00:11Come on, Fred. 37 champagne cocktails and make it snappy.
01:00:15Oh, there you are, sir.
01:00:17I must get this clock repaired. I'm so sorry.
01:00:19You better, Ed.
01:00:20The cocktail bar this way, sir.
01:00:24They're coming.
01:00:25Come on, get drinking, everybody.
01:00:27Go on.
01:00:28Me too.
01:00:40Cheers.
01:00:52That's what I call a first-rate spreader.
01:00:54Aye.
01:00:55Messing group here.
01:00:56I'm glad you enjoyed it, gentlemen.
01:00:58Do you know what I'm going to do now?
01:00:59What, sir?
01:01:00Find a nice, comfortable chair in the lounge and have a bit of shut-eye.
01:01:03Aye.
01:01:04Suits me.
01:01:05Just one moment, gentlemen. I won't keep you.
01:01:08Where's he off to?
01:01:09I don't know.
01:01:12Now what?
01:01:13They're coming in here for a sleep.
01:01:15We'll stall them while I fill up in here.
01:01:17I'll try.
01:01:18Fill up? Who with? We mustn't empty the bar yet.
01:01:21Have a cigar.
01:01:26Here you are, sir.
01:01:30I'm so sorry, sir.
01:01:35I'm so terribly sorry, sir.
01:01:37Terribly sorry, sir.
01:01:41Nice crowd in the bar.
01:01:43And in here too.
01:01:44That's what I like to see.
01:01:45Proper gold mine, this place, I reckon.
01:01:47Bring us some grub, then.
01:01:48Just coming, sir.
01:01:49Well, enjoy your lunch, then.
01:01:50We're going into the lounge to have a nap.
01:01:53All right.
01:01:54I'll have the same as them.
01:01:55Double porcelain.
01:01:59Here you are, sir.
01:02:02Bill!
01:02:04Golightly's in the dining room now, and the other two are just coming out.
01:02:07Right. Get all those in the bar out here, quick.
01:02:11Okay, everyone out into the...
01:02:16What on earth's happened?
01:02:18I tried to stop them, but they wouldn't keep ordering doubles.
01:02:21Said they needed them to steady their nerves.
01:02:27I'm so sorry, sir.
01:02:28Is these far from matchy, sir?
01:02:40Look out.
01:02:42Now, then. A souvenir.
01:02:58Would you care for a gasp of?
01:02:59Thanks ever so.
01:03:00Not at all.
01:03:03Ah, there we are, gentlemen.
01:03:05Everything, I hope, is satisfactory.
01:03:07Aye.
01:03:08It's a nice place you've got here.
01:03:10What do you say, Herbert?
01:03:11Aye, nice and cheerful.
01:03:13Plenty going on.
01:03:14Yes, you're right. Plenty.
01:03:17May I help you?
01:03:20Most welcome.
01:03:21Well, if you know what I'm going to do...
01:03:23I have an idea.
01:03:24I'm going to have a nap.
01:03:26That's me, too.
01:03:28Oh.
01:03:30Well, I hope this doesn't stop me dropping off.
01:03:33It won't.
01:03:34Pleasant dreams.
01:03:46Come on.
01:03:47Get out of there. Come on.
01:03:49It's like the Battle of Waterloo.
01:03:51Come on.
01:03:52Oh, dear.
01:03:54Come on.
01:03:55Come on.
01:03:57Oh, come on. Pull yourself together.
01:03:59You've been out for three hours.
01:04:01Come on, folk, we're up. Come on.
01:04:18If we can only manage to get through the evening.
01:04:21They're out on their feet already.
01:04:22Who? The Three Graces?
01:04:24No, our staff.
01:04:25They're either exhausted or drunk.
01:04:27Oh, those wretched little men.
01:04:28I bet they come down fresh as paint after they've had their sleep.
01:04:31Well, we've got to keep entertaining them till we drop.
01:04:33Yes, I know.
01:04:34Still, the dinner dance ought to convince them.
01:04:36If only we can manage to survive it.
01:04:43Hello?
01:04:44Oh, yes, Mr. Hardcastle.
01:04:46Will you send up a nice pot of tea, love?
01:04:48Certainly, I'll have it sent up.
01:04:50They want their tea sent up.
01:04:52Gee, stiffen the crows.
01:04:54What time do the fun and games start?
01:04:56Any minute now, Mr. Hardcastle.
01:04:58Lovely.
01:05:01Better warn everyone to stand by.
01:05:06Now!
01:05:16Come on, girls, put them in the basket there.
01:05:18Here, give us your hat.
01:05:20Now, love, your big chance.
01:05:22Get up there and sing.
01:05:23Me? Sing in public?
01:05:25Why not? Have a go.
01:05:26Oh, I couldn't.
01:05:28Where's your Irish spirit?
01:05:30Well, if it'll help the hotel at all, I'll do me best.
01:05:35Ah, gentlemen, a smooth landing, I trust.
01:05:37Will you escort them to the ballroom?
01:05:39This way, please, gentlemen.
01:05:44Come on, quick.
01:05:50The things I say give me away
01:05:54They always do
01:05:58In love, in love
01:06:02In love with you
01:06:06Oh, yes, indeed
01:06:08You've learned to read me through and through
01:06:14In love, in love
01:06:18In love with you
01:06:22At first, to me, you didn't see how much I cared
01:06:30You weren't aware that I was there
01:06:38But now I know my heart will go on smiling through
01:06:47In love, in love
01:06:51In love with you
01:07:01Duchess of Holborn, Duchess of Holborn.
01:07:03Good evening, Duchess.
01:07:05How do you do?
01:07:06All right.
01:07:11Now, now, not too near the knuckles.
01:07:13Won't you join us, Duchess?
01:07:14Ah, thank you so much.
01:07:16Would you mind steering that way?
01:07:18That's it, thank you so much.
01:07:20There.
01:07:21Are you all right, Ljubilja?
01:07:22Yes, thank you, Jeremy.
01:07:25Would you care to partake of a glass of wine with me?
01:07:27He's such a saucy beast.
01:07:30But now I know my heart will go on smiling through
01:07:38In love, in love
01:07:44In love with you
01:07:59That turned out nice again.
01:08:02A glass of champagne, Duchess.
01:08:03Oh, no, I never touch it, only at launchings.
01:08:05Just a talk, Duchess.
01:08:07No, no.
01:08:08You must.
01:08:09No, no.
01:08:10Now do.
01:08:11No, no.
01:08:17There.
01:08:18Now, you tell me.
01:08:21How much are you putting in?
01:08:23Pardon?
01:08:24The money.
01:08:26We've not said we're going into the business.
01:08:28Aye.
01:08:29Aye.
01:08:30Oh, whimsical, whimsical.
01:08:33Is it a cast-iron proposition?
01:08:35My dear.
01:08:36I'm the senior partner.
01:08:38My dear.
01:08:39Hardcastles, isn't it?
01:08:41All that filthy money.
01:08:46What's the matter?
01:08:47Oh, I'm going.
01:08:48Oh, I know I'm going.
01:08:50Where?
01:08:51Where do you suggest?
01:08:52Oh, you must have some fresh air.
01:08:54You're pallid.
01:08:55Pardon?
01:08:56Pallid.
01:08:57Oh, pallid, yes.
01:08:58Well, may I?
01:08:59No, thank you.
01:09:00I'll be all right.
01:09:01Oh, dear.
01:09:03Don't worry.
01:09:04I shan't be...
01:09:05Come on, Ruby.
01:09:06Give us another.
01:09:12They call him Pancho Rodriguez O'Malley
01:09:16Ever since he spent a holiday in Spain
01:09:20He's not Patrick anymore now
01:09:22He calls himself Señor
01:09:24And he's got the tango in his brains
01:09:28When he romances the girls in the valley
01:09:32With guitar he sings them Spanish serenades
01:09:36Though an Irish jig's all right
01:09:38Every village dancing night
01:09:40By request he has the tango played
01:09:43O'Malley's tango
01:09:46You'll know when they begin it
01:09:50Cause O'Malley's tango
01:09:54Has got a bit of Irish in it
01:09:59Yes, Señor Pancho Rodriguez
01:10:04Yes, Señor Pancho Rodriguez O'Malley
01:10:08Is a blarney boy who's so magnifico
01:10:12He's made Saturday the night
01:10:14For a famous Irish sight
01:10:16When all the village does O'Malley's tango
01:10:33O'Malley's tango
01:10:36You'll know when they begin it
01:10:40Cause O'Malley's tango
01:10:44Has got a bit of Irish in it
01:10:49Yes, Señor Pancho Rodriguez O'Malley
01:10:53Is a blarney boy who's so magnifico
01:10:56He's made Saturday the night
01:10:58For a famous Irish sight
01:11:00When all the village does O'Malley's
01:11:06Tango
01:11:16Now come along, Mr. Hardcastle. Drink up.
01:11:19Don't we, Phil?
01:11:20Now, come on, force yourself.
01:11:23There. That didn't take much forcing, did it?
01:11:27Now, this hotel.
01:11:29You wouldn't miss the opportunity
01:11:31Of investing in such a gold mine, would you?
01:11:34Would you?
01:11:37Would you?
01:11:38And what's your first name, love?
01:11:41Lobinia.
01:11:42And for short?
01:11:43Poppy.
01:11:44Poppy.
01:11:45I've got a crush on you.
01:11:47Now, mind me goggles.
01:11:48But don't tell the others, Poppy.
01:11:50I wasn't wearing this at lunchtime, was I?
01:11:52Now, of the Duke hears of this.
01:11:54Never mind the Duke.
01:11:55I want us to be partners.
01:11:57Partners in what?
01:11:58Come and dance with me.
01:11:59Dance? You must be mad.
01:12:01In your condition.
01:12:02What's the matter with my condition?
01:12:06Nothing, except you're drunk.
01:12:08I am drunk, all right.
01:12:10Drunk with your beauty and your grace.
01:12:12I've got plans for us. Plans for this hotel.
01:12:14You hot-blooded fool, you.
01:12:16Spitfire, eh?
01:12:18If his grace knew about this,
01:12:20He'd run you through and cast you in the moat.
01:12:22Never mind the grace.
01:12:24Kiss me.
01:12:25How dare you?
01:12:27The wine has inflamed you beyond reason.
01:12:29Come and dance with me.
01:12:31Categorically, no.
01:12:33All right.
01:12:34Well, I'll dance with you on one condition.
01:12:37Talk about the hotel and be sensible.
01:12:39Now, come on.
01:12:50What happened?
01:12:52Where did all these people come from?
01:12:54Search me.
01:12:55It must be the notice outside.
01:12:57What notice?
01:12:58What Mr. Darning rigged up with the electricians.
01:13:08Promise?
01:13:09There you are.
01:13:10Promise me now that tomorrow you'll phone your solicitor
01:13:13And arrange that contract.
01:13:15Anything for you, Lovelia.
01:13:19Now, now.
01:13:20I'm only a slip of a thing.
01:13:26Why are you that interested in the property, anyway?
01:13:30Well, you see, I'm the mother of the present owner.
01:13:33And I want you and him to be partners.
01:13:36We shall, Duchess.
01:13:38We shall.
01:13:39With our blessing, your background, eh?
01:13:43Now, leave my background alone.
01:13:48Have you finished revving up?
01:13:55Yes, I have.
01:14:26Well, lads.
01:14:28I thought we'd pick this pub up.
01:14:30It's a nice proposition.
01:14:31What do you say?
01:14:32Aye.
01:14:33Aye.
01:14:34It's a deal.
01:14:36Boyle Connaught Hotel?
01:14:38Certainly, madam.
01:14:39Two singles for the 14th and 20th.
01:14:42You'll write and confirm, will you?
01:14:59Boyle Connaught Hotel?
01:15:01Miss who?
01:15:02Oh, Miss Trott.
01:15:03Yes, certainly, Miss Trott.
01:15:05Your old room.
01:15:06And Miss Pickles, too.
01:15:07Right you are.
01:15:09You know we're under new management, don't you?
01:15:11Yes, that's right.
01:15:12Goodbye.
01:15:14Oh, Bill, I can't believe it.
01:15:16It's quite extraordinary.
01:15:17I've been flooded with calls.
01:15:19I wonder why.
01:15:20I can tell you why.
01:15:22Because we have the best hotel in London
01:15:24and the most remarkable staff in the world.
01:15:27Come and look.
01:15:34Well, there's only one thing to do now.
01:15:36What's that?
01:15:37Get a new manager.
01:15:38Don't you like being manager?
01:15:40No, it's not me.
01:15:41I like more contact with people.
01:15:43Well, we'll get a new manager tomorrow.
01:15:45Good.
01:15:53Well, well, Miss Gray.
01:15:55I didn't expect to see you here.
01:15:56Nor I you.
01:15:57Yes, the new company offered me the engagement
01:15:59through their solicitors
01:16:00at a slightly increased figure.
01:16:02I saw no reason to refuse.
01:16:03Well, the same thing happened to me.
01:16:05I wonder who the new owners are.
01:16:06It's very mysterious.
01:16:07We'll soon find out.
01:16:08Now, come along.
01:16:09Let's go to work.
01:16:10The books are bound to be in a mess by now.
01:16:13Come in.
01:16:14Ah, Miss Blake.
01:16:15Well, I'm glad to see they've had the good sense
01:16:17to take you on again.
01:16:19The new proprietor is in the building.
01:16:21He wishes to see you.
01:16:23Would you come this way, please?
01:16:43Mr. Hatcher, the proprietor.
01:16:46Ah, there you are, Hatchard.
01:16:49Now, this is just to say that in future
01:16:51I shall inspect the books on Wednesdays
01:16:53into the Thursdays.
01:16:54Is that all right?
01:16:55Yes.
01:16:56Yes, what?
01:16:59Yes, sir.
01:17:01Hmm, that's better.
01:17:02Well, you run along now.
01:17:03Run along.
01:17:04Oh, and do your managing nicely.
01:17:08Ah.
01:17:10Yes, sir.
01:17:11I, um, we...
01:17:14Hmm?
01:17:15That's to say...
01:17:17You tell him, Caroline.
01:17:18We're on our honeymoon, darling.
01:17:20Oh.
01:17:21And we want the bridal suite for the weekend.
01:17:24Well, I can let you have a nice double room, dear.
01:17:26But the bridal suite is occupied, isn't it, my darling?
01:17:30And why not?
01:17:31It's all right.
01:17:32It's all right.
01:17:33It's all right.
01:17:34It's all right.
01:17:35It's all right.
01:17:36It's all right.
01:17:37It's all right.
01:17:38It's all right.
