Short filmTranscript
00:00:30Now, you're not on as rigid a schedule as you were at the hospital, but you must do
00:00:44as the nurse tells you.
00:00:45Well, I hope this time you've got a nurse who knows how to mix a good martini.
00:00:50You behave yourself, young lady, and just relax.
00:00:52In the meantime, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:00:54I'll be looking for you.
00:00:57I'll see the doctor out.
00:01:04I'm so glad you made her come home, Doctor.
00:01:06Marsha's going to have to take very good care of her.
00:01:09Her condition's very serious, more serious than the last time.
00:01:12She will be all right.
00:01:14Good morning, Tom.
00:01:15Marsha?
00:01:16How's Valerie?
00:01:17Resting.
00:01:18I'll bet she's glad to be home again, huh?
00:01:20May I go up?
00:01:21No, she shouldn't be disturbed.
00:01:24She's not exactly over it.
00:01:27I was about to tell Marsha, Jim.
00:01:32She hasn't very much longer to live.
00:01:34No.
00:01:36What are you saying?
00:01:37Matter of months, perhaps a year.
00:01:39But it can't be.
00:01:41It can't.
00:01:42Heart trouble.
00:01:44But she's so young.
00:01:46Why only last week?
00:01:48She was well, gay, shopping, planning a party.
00:01:52Her party days are over.
00:01:54She'll have to give up her social life with her high-living friends.
00:01:57Not keep late hours.
00:01:59She should get away from here and rest.
00:02:01Does she know?
00:02:02Well, I believe she should be told.
00:02:04Jim, I usually leave decisions like this up to the family.
00:02:07But Valerie hasn't a relative in the world.
00:02:11What do you think, Marsha?
00:02:13Oh, you're a secretary companion, aren't you?
00:02:15True.
00:02:16But ever since her husband's death, you've been like a sister to her.
00:02:20I don't think she should be told.
00:02:22The very thought of...
00:02:23What happens to all the enterprises?
00:02:25It's not that I'm unfeeling, but I'm chairman of the board.
00:02:28She hasn't even made a will.
00:02:31Do you realize what this will mean downtown?
00:02:33Confusion, even a panic.
00:02:35Oh, business isn't important now.
00:02:37Marsha's right, Jim.
00:02:38We can't tell her.
00:02:39And Mr. Bancroft left everything so hard on her.
00:02:43Valerie's entitled to every bit of happiness that she can have right now.
00:02:48Except for the time she has left.
00:02:51Well, I understand, but why can't I see any of my friends, have any fun?
00:02:56Am I in prison or do I have a contagious disease or something?
00:03:00Well, if you do, it's very becoming.
00:03:02Uh-oh, here we go again.
00:03:07Hello?
00:03:10No, Alec, you can't come.
00:03:12No, no parties.
00:03:14No, not even for a moment.
00:03:16Goodbye.
00:03:18Marsha, how can you be so mean to the boy?
00:03:25Hello?
00:03:28No, she can't come to the phone right now.
00:03:30That's good to the point.
00:03:32When and where are you going away for a rest?
00:03:35Well, as long as we're going, we might as well go immediately.
00:03:38That decides the when.
00:03:39Now, all we've got to do is decide the where.
00:03:42No, no, but I'll tell her.
00:03:47Yes, yes, I promise.
00:03:49Goodbye.
00:03:53It's a gift from Bill.
00:03:54Oh.
00:03:55Who is it, Marsha?
00:03:56Harry Robbins.
00:03:57Harry Robbins?
00:03:58I thought he went to California.
00:04:00Well, he did, but he came back.
00:04:02He couldn't stand the sunshine.
00:04:04California.
00:04:05Sunshine.
00:04:06Well, how about California?
00:04:08Oh, that's fine.
00:04:09I never did see enough of California.
00:04:11It just breezed through on my honeymoon.
00:04:13Very good.
00:04:14I have a friend in Los Angeles, a Dr. Peter Kirk.
00:04:17He was a student of mine.
00:04:18You'll find him.
00:04:19Yeah, a doctor.
00:04:21Well, yes, I'll let him know that you're coming.
00:04:23And so he can keep an eye on me?
00:04:25Exactly.
00:04:26Oh.
00:04:28And by the way, don't let any of your friends know where you're going.
00:04:44Well, there you are.
00:04:54So this is California, huh?
00:04:58How can you tell?
00:05:00Well, actually, when conditions are right, the view is very stimulating.
00:05:04I'm due at the hospital now.
00:05:06And remember the password.
00:05:07Relaxation.
00:05:08You're acting the doctor again.
00:05:10Okay, okay.
00:05:12Tomorrow I promise to forget my Hippocratic oath and show you around.
00:05:16Places like the Huntington Library?
00:05:19Yes, and La Brea Tar Pits.
00:05:22Oh, fascinating place, the La Brea Tar Pits.
00:05:24And then, of course, there's always Griffith Park.
00:05:27Well, how about Hollywood?
00:05:28Isn't there any nightlife there?
00:05:29Now, now, now, now, Mrs. Bancroft.
00:05:31I know, I know.
00:05:32I'm supposed to be convalescing.
00:05:34Mrs. Bancroft, you've got to be on your best behavior and get to bed early.
00:05:39Well, let's say we do the town tomorrow night after the sightseeing.
00:05:42We can have an early dinner and then the theater, but no nightclubs.
00:05:46Sounds all right.
00:05:47Fine, I'll see you both in the morning at about 1030.
00:05:50Thank you for picking us up at the airport.
00:05:52You're very welcome.
00:05:53Oh, and before I forget, you can always reach me at either of these numbers.
00:05:57Oh, thank you, Doctor.
00:05:58Goodbye.
00:05:59Goodbye.
00:06:01You know something?
00:06:02I'm tired.
00:06:03I think I'll lie down.
00:06:05Good idea.
00:06:06There's no reason for you to sit around here.
00:06:08Why don't you go down to the lobby, stroll around, look the place over?
00:06:11Oh, I don't think I ought to leave you.
00:06:13Well, silly, I can have you paged if I need you.
00:06:16Here.
00:06:17Break this in for me, huh?
00:06:19And let's make you real glamorous, huh?
00:06:22Here.
00:06:37This way, ma'am.
00:06:42You all right?
00:06:43Yes, fine, thank you.
00:06:49A dry martini, please.
00:06:50Yes, ma'am.
00:06:51And, uh, would you tell me where the telephone is?
00:06:53Right back in the lobby.
00:07:51Hello, Dr. Kirk?
00:08:01Marsha Jordan.
00:08:04I didn't get a chance to talk to you alone.
00:08:07You understand, of course, that Mrs. Bancroft isn't to know the extent of her illness.
00:08:13Oh, good.
00:08:16Well, I'm not as efficient as all that, Doctor.
00:08:20Why, yes, I'm looking forward to it.
00:08:23Scrad.
00:08:24Goodbye.
00:08:31Ladies and gentlemen, Christy and Don Garvin.
00:08:41I believe this is your earring.
00:08:43Oh, where did I lose it?
00:08:45Right here.
00:08:46I was staring at you.
00:08:48I can't think when a man's stares prove so fortunate.
00:08:52In that case, I'll claim a reward.
00:08:54Will you join me for a drink?
00:08:56Here's mine.
00:08:58May I join you?
00:09:00Waiter.
00:09:01Yes, sir.
00:09:02I'll have the same, please.
00:09:03Easy on the vermouth.
00:09:04Yes, sir.
00:09:07Where are you from?
00:09:08New York.
00:09:09I'm a Chicagoan by birth.
00:09:11But I've spent a lot of time in Central America.
00:09:14My mother's American blood camouflages my Spanish ancestors.
00:09:17I guess that makes me...
00:09:18Half an All-American.
00:09:20I guess that's about right.
00:09:24Have you been here long?
00:09:25I divide my time between here and the Midwest.
00:09:28Business.
00:09:29Oh, I neglected to introduce myself.
00:09:32My name is Ricardo De Villa.
00:09:34They call me Rick.
00:09:35Well, how do you do?
00:09:36My name is Marsha.
00:09:38Oh, thank you.
00:09:40Well, here's to diamond earrings and beautiful New Yorkers.
00:09:48It's nearly dinnertime.
00:09:50We have some wonderful places here.
00:09:52Scandias, the rooms.
00:09:53I'm afraid I'll have to take a rain check.
00:09:55My traveling companion's a bit under the weather.
00:09:57Oh, that's too bad.
00:09:59Uh, you planned a reward for the earring.
00:10:02I'd like to honor it.
00:10:05Good night, Mr. De Villa.
00:10:09Hasta la vista.
00:10:18Hi, Rick.
00:10:22Shooting for the stars, aren't you?
00:10:24What do you mean?
00:10:25Don't you know?
00:10:27She's the wealthy Mrs. Bancroft of New York.
00:10:29Really?
00:10:31Well, if I shoot, I may as well aim high.
00:10:35Obviously, she has charms other than her wealth.
00:10:37Nonsense.
00:10:38I met her quite by accident.
00:10:40And you, you shouldn't be here now.
00:10:42It's okay.
00:10:43Don's a nice guy.
00:10:44And you, you shouldn't be here now.
00:10:46It's okay.
00:10:47Don's in the dressing room.
00:10:49Buy me a drink.
00:10:50I don't think you'd better.
00:10:52Why?
00:10:53Is she coming back?
00:10:59Pritzy, he's looking for you.
00:11:03Tonight?
00:11:05He won't let me out of his sight.
00:11:07Tomorrow.
00:11:08Tomorrow at ten.
00:11:11Oh, there you are, darling.
00:11:13I've got something all over for you.
00:11:15Sit down, Don.
00:11:16Let's have a bite of this poor drink.
00:11:18It's unusual for him to be giving instead of taking.
00:11:21Come on, Don.
00:11:22You don't mean that.
00:11:23Sit down and have a drink with us.
00:11:26Waiter.
00:11:27Chair, please.
00:11:29Good morning, Mrs. Bancroft.
00:11:31Why, this is Mrs. Bancroft, Mr. De Villa.
00:11:34Oh, I beg your pardon.
00:11:35How do you do?
00:11:36I'm Marsha Jordan.
00:11:37However did you get the idea I was Mrs. Bancroft?
00:11:40A mistaken gremlin told me.
00:11:43Oh, there's Dr. Kirk.
00:11:44Excuse me.
00:11:45Come on, darling.
00:11:46You can't possibly be the friend Miss Jordan mentioned.
00:11:49Why not?
00:11:50Well, I understood you were ill from the trip.
00:11:52Oh, I'm famous for quick recovery.
00:11:54May I put my car and myself at your disposal?
00:11:56Oh, thank you.
00:11:57Someone's coming to pick us up.
00:11:58Then why not dine with me this evening?
00:12:00Oh, I'm sorry.
00:12:01I've got sort of a half date.
00:12:03A half a date's no date.
00:12:04Let's make a date.
00:12:05At seven?
00:12:06Perhaps.
00:12:08Goodbye.
00:12:09Till seven?
00:12:13Goodbye.
00:12:22Where are you going at this hour?
00:12:24I have some shopping to do.
00:12:26I'll be back around noon.
00:12:44Rick?
00:12:45Just a minute.
00:12:52What's the matter?
00:12:53That hotel bill's two weeks overdue.
00:12:55What about the money you were expecting?
00:12:57I've been trying to get in touch with San Salvador for weeks.
00:13:00Afraid this guy owes me all that money.
00:13:02He's gone bankrupt.
00:13:03His business phone's been disconnected.
00:13:05What are you going to do?
00:13:07I don't know.
00:13:08All I have left is a couple of hundred dollars.
00:13:11From the way you talk,
00:13:12I don't know whether to believe all this business talk of yours.
00:13:15Does this mean I'm not going to be able to leave Don for good?
00:13:18The way things look right now, we'll just have to wait a while.
00:13:21I'll work something out.
00:13:23I think there's an angle.
00:13:25Didn't I see your angle with you last night?
00:13:27Having a drink with you?
00:13:29Not that one.
00:13:30Friends are bankrupt.
00:13:33Oh.
00:13:34So that's it.
00:13:36I had an idea you were playing up to that dame.
00:13:40You two-timing, no good.
00:13:42And on top of it, you don't even try to hide it.
00:13:45Carrying on an affair with another woman right under my nose.
00:13:48Well, you're not going to do it.
00:13:50And what's more, I think you're a phony.
00:13:52And I was ready to leave my husband for what?
00:13:54For a big bluff like you.
00:14:01You know, you're very beautiful when you get mad.
00:14:03But look stupid.
00:14:05No other woman means a thing to me.
00:14:07No other woman means a thing to me.
00:14:09If you don't know it now, you never will.
00:14:11Just think for a moment.
00:14:13An opportunity like this knocks only once.
00:14:15And I know when to open the door.
00:14:17Don't you agree it'd be more profitable for me to get a bit involved with this rich widow?
00:14:21Save her a couple of millions?
00:14:23So that you and I can do the things the way we planned?
00:14:26All it'll take is a little time.
00:14:29And a little front money.
00:14:38She must be an awful fool.
00:14:40Why?
00:14:42To fall for a guy like you.
00:14:45She must be as big a fool as I am.
00:14:51Coming.
00:14:53Who can be in such a hurry?
00:14:58Hey, guess what.
00:15:02This one's mine.
00:15:08From Ricardo De Ville, the gentleman we met in the lobby.
00:15:12He just won't give up.
00:15:14Until dinner, what does he mean?
00:15:16After making a date with Dr. Kirk, you didn't make a date with him, did you?
00:15:20Not exactly, but don't you think he's handsome, dashing, and persistent?
00:15:25Well, he's certainly persistent.
00:15:27You know, Marsha, I'd have dropped both earrings if I'd seen him first.
00:15:31You would. You got your pills in your purse?
00:15:34Pills, pills, I don't want to be carrying bottles along with me.
00:15:38I'll tell the doctor.
00:15:40Dr. Kirk, take away a stethoscope and what have you got?
00:15:45Hello?
00:15:47Oh, you can't?
00:15:49Well, of course we understand.
00:15:52Oh, that'll be fine. Yes, we'll wait for you in the dining room.
00:15:55Goodbye.
00:15:58Peter, I mean Dr. Kirk, he can't meet us for dinner.
00:16:01He'll pick us up in time for the show, though.
00:16:03Amazing how these men can make such lavish plans and then weasel out.
00:16:10Lucky I have a spare.
00:16:16Uh, hello, Mr. Davila's room, please.
00:16:23Coffee?
00:16:24No, thank you. I'm not allowed to have coffee.
00:16:26No coffee, no alcohol.
00:16:28That's right, plain ginger ale with mineral water for a chaser.
00:16:31Doctor's order.
00:16:32And the doctor's watchdog.
00:16:35As I was saying, it's a matter of preference.
00:16:37Some people are excited by abstracts.
00:16:39I, for one, like more definition in paintings.
00:16:42How about you?
00:16:43Frankly, I become petrified whenever the subject of painting comes up.
00:16:47Why?
00:16:48Because I'm so ignorant about it.
00:16:50But, Val, you have lovely taste.
00:16:53I, uh, don't suppose you could teach me some of the fine points.
00:16:57I certainly can teach you, I promise.
00:16:59I certainly can teach you, I promise.
00:17:01In fact, by the time you leave California, you'll be a connoisseur.
00:17:11Good evening.
00:17:12Good evening, Dr. Kurt.
00:17:13Oh, Dr. Kurt, Mr. Davila.
00:17:15How do you do? Oh, please don't bother.
00:17:17I'm sorry I'm late, but if we're going to make the curtain, we'd better hurry.
00:17:19Oh, well, couldn't we get another ticket?
00:17:21I think we could.
00:17:23Well, what show is it?
00:17:24Tales of Arthur.
00:17:25It's a good show, fine music. I've seen it.
00:17:28Well, why don't we skip it?
00:17:30Who wants to go out in the smog anyway?
00:17:32Now, that's intelligent.
00:17:34Valerie!
00:17:35Too run along.
00:17:36Well, have a nice evening.
00:17:39See you later.
00:17:40Don't forget, no late hours.
00:17:41Bye.
00:17:42Good night.
00:17:43Bye.
00:17:44He sounds like he is your doctor.
00:17:45Well, he is, but he was only kidding.
00:17:48I am supposed to take it a little easy, though.
00:17:52You know, you look like the outdoor type.
00:17:55I am?
00:17:56I go in for polo, tennis, skin diving, fishing, boating.
00:18:00Very exciting.
00:18:02I've always been more of a land lover, city slicker.
00:18:05Well, that's not bad either.
00:18:14This is the first time I've been off the leash since we left New York.
00:18:17Well, this town is full of excitement.
00:18:20What are we waiting for?
00:18:22Waiter, check, please.
00:18:27There's no sense blaming yourself.
00:18:30I shouldn't have left her.
00:18:32One night won't matter too much.
00:18:34I had no right letting her out of my sight.
00:18:37Well, we naturally forget the hour.
00:18:39After all, she's a young, attractive widow in new surroundings.
00:18:42And Mr. Villa, though, seems very charming.
00:18:47We had time for one more.
00:18:49Good morning, everybody.
00:18:50Good morning.
00:18:51Two o'clock.
00:18:52You're right.
00:18:53It's late.
00:18:54Quite late.
00:18:55I'll bet you forgot your medicine.
00:18:57You lose.
00:18:58At 11 precisely.
00:19:00Have a good time, dear?
00:19:01Oh, yes, it was an excellent show.
00:19:03Well, now that everybody's checked in, I guess...
00:19:05Well, why don't we all have a nightcap?
00:19:09I think the doctor's right.
00:19:11Bedtime.
00:19:12Good night.
00:19:13Good night, doctor.
00:19:14Good night, Mr. Villa.
00:19:16Good night.
00:19:17Good night, dear.
00:19:20All right, Mrs. Bancroft, you've had your night out.
00:19:22I hope you're not going to make a practice of keeping such late hours.
00:19:25And in my humble opinion, Mr. De Villa is too stimulating a companion for you.
00:19:30I'll find out.
00:19:31I'm going to the races with him tomorrow.
00:19:34Good night.
00:19:35Good night.
00:19:37Well, I'd better be going, too.
00:19:39Good night, Martha.
00:19:52Good night.
00:20:19Well...
00:20:21Here's to California.
00:20:28Why have you stayed so close to New York all your life?
00:20:30I like New York.
00:20:31And you say you go to Central America often?
00:20:33Business?
00:20:34Yes, but I have excellent people operating my branches.
00:20:38I export automobiles.
00:20:40Right now, things are a little quiet.
00:20:43That's the reason I have plenty of time on my hands.
00:20:50Oh...
00:21:07What's the matter, darling?
00:21:08Don't you feel well?
00:21:09Oh, I'm fine.
00:21:10Please.
00:21:11Please.
00:21:20I think we'd better go back to the hotel.
00:21:22All right.
00:21:35It's late.
00:21:36You'd better not come in.
00:21:37Are you sure you're all right, darling?
00:21:39I'm fine, darling.
00:21:40The dance floor was too jammed.
00:21:41I just needed some air, that's all.
00:21:46Good night, darling.
00:21:47Good night.
00:22:10Oh...
00:22:14Valerie!
00:22:15Valerie, what is it?
00:22:16You're dying.
00:22:17Get up on the bed.
00:22:18Come on.
00:22:19Oh, there you are.
00:22:20You're all right now.
00:22:21Just lie down.
00:22:22Just be still.
00:22:28Operator.
00:22:30Chris, use 5-1-1-0-1.
00:22:34Hurry, please.
00:22:40Peter?
00:22:41Peter, Valerie's had an attack.
00:22:44What?
00:22:45Yes, yes, I'll do that.
00:22:47Yes, and please hurry.
00:22:51It's all right, dear.
00:22:52You'll be all right.
00:22:53Oh, I feel sick.
00:22:55Awful sick.
00:22:57Well, I should think you would.
00:23:03Now, you just close your eyes like a good girl.
00:23:10Good night.
00:23:21I think she should know the truth about her condition.
00:23:23You promised you wouldn't tell her.
00:23:25But it's my responsibility to see that she doesn't destroy herself.
00:23:28I know, but...
00:23:32I'll see to it it doesn't happen again.
00:23:34Well, all right for now.
00:23:36Give her a capsule when she wakes up, and I'll be here first thing in the morning.
00:23:39Good night, Marcia.
00:23:40Good night.
00:23:54Come in.
00:23:55The door is open.
00:23:58Well, Marcia, what a pleasant surprise.
00:24:00Come right in.
00:24:01I have something very important I want to talk to you about, Mr. DeVere.
00:24:05Why so formal, Marcia?
00:24:07Miss Jordan.
00:24:08Valerie collapsed last night after you left.
00:24:10What do you mean?
00:24:12It's her heart.
00:24:14Couldn't you see the signs?
00:24:16Medication every four hours.
00:24:18No alcohol or condiments.
00:24:20The doctor's constant attention.
00:24:22I didn't realize.
00:24:25I never heard Valerie not knowing me.
00:24:27She...
00:24:29She's too important to me.
00:24:30Is there anything I can do?
00:24:32Yes.
00:24:34The first thing you can do is let her rest.
00:24:36Don't even try to see her until she's stronger.
00:24:39You make it sound like Valerie's illness is my fault.
00:24:42No, but if she gets worse, it will be.
00:24:48I'll do anything you say, Marcia.
00:24:51Thanks, Rick.
00:25:07Okay.
00:25:21Hi, Rick.
00:25:22Wait a minute.
00:25:33What's the matter?
00:25:34What's the matter?
00:25:35You have to come here now.
00:25:39I have some money for you.
00:25:41Yeah?
00:25:47Where'd you get it?
00:25:48I pawned the bracelet.
00:25:50I'm sorry, Fitzy.
00:25:52Is that all you have to say?
00:25:55No.
00:25:56I'm mad about you.
00:25:59No.
00:26:02That girl outside spells trouble.
00:26:05I've got to do something about it.
00:26:14Give me the bankroll suite, please.
00:26:17Okay.
00:26:27Marcia.
00:26:28Peter, I didn't expect you so early.
00:26:30How's Valerie?
00:26:31Coming along.
00:26:32She's talking to Rick on the phone.
00:26:35I've just been down to see him.
00:26:38You know, I don't trust that fellow any further than I could throw the Holland tunnel.
00:26:42He's a nice enough chap.
00:26:44I just saw that dancer going into his room.
00:26:46Which only proves he's very much in demand.
00:26:48Which only proves he's no good for Valerie.
00:26:51Come on, let's go see her.
00:26:55Of course, I insist, Ricky.
00:26:57Just come on up.
00:26:59So you're back from your errand of mercy.
00:27:02Why did you tell Rick he was to blame for my illness?
00:27:05I didn't tell him.
00:27:06I don't want people meddling in my affairs.
00:27:08Do you consider me just people, Valerie?
00:27:10Are you going to let a fellow that you've only just met cause a misunderstanding between us?
00:27:15I want you to know that Rick and I mean a lot to each other.
00:27:18Oh, Valerie, be sensible.
00:27:21Can't you see that it's obvious he's only...
00:27:25Go ahead.
00:27:26He's only after your money.
00:27:28You've said enough.
00:27:29You've interfered in my affairs for the last time.
00:27:32You can pack your things and get out.
00:27:34Valerie, what Marcia did was only for your own good.
00:27:37And I've had enough interference from you, too.
00:27:41I'm going to tell you about your condition.
00:27:43No, Peter, you promised.
00:27:45I've never approved of keeping the truth from my patients.
00:27:48In your case, I agreed not to tell you because Dr. Harrison and Marcia insisted.
00:27:52The truth is your heart can't stand the strain you're putting on it.
00:27:55If you don't take care of yourself, you won't recover from another attack.
00:27:58If I take care of myself?
00:28:02How long? Tell me.
00:28:05It's hard to say.
00:28:06How long?
00:28:09Maybe a year. It depends.
00:28:12I hope you understand now that Marcia was only...
00:28:14Of course.
00:28:16Forgive me, Marcia. I didn't know.
00:28:19It's all right.
00:28:21It's a shock, but...
00:28:23It's all right.
00:28:25It's all right.
00:28:27It's a shock, but...
00:28:28But I'll get used to the idea.
00:28:31Well, everyone has to die sometime.
00:28:33I'll...
00:28:34I'll just die a little sooner than most people.
00:28:39I couldn't marry a man that wanted me just for my money, but...
00:28:42I know it's different with Rick.
00:28:44And besides, he's comfortable on his own.
00:28:46You know, Marcia, I've never really had a break in spite of all the men around me.
00:28:51First marriage didn't pan out, and...
00:28:54Then the tragedy of the second tried, but now...
00:28:57Well, he's so different from anyone I've ever known.
00:29:01May I?
00:29:02Of course, Ricky. Come on in.
00:29:05What's the matter?
00:29:07What's wrong?
00:29:08Peter just gave me some bad news.
00:29:11I haven't long to live.
00:29:12Don't be ridiculous, darling.
00:29:16Ricky, I want to live.
00:29:17I want to live with you.
00:29:20I want to live with you.
00:29:29Princy, I'm glad you waited.
00:29:31I've got some good news.
00:29:33Pour yourself one.
00:29:34It worked.
00:29:35And get this.
00:29:36She proposed.
00:29:40Well, I guess that's it.
00:29:41And I suppose you'll tell me you're going to divorce her the very next day.
00:29:45Not the next day.
00:29:46And I won't last too long.
00:29:48And listen.
00:29:49She hasn't long to live.
00:29:50A matter of months.
00:29:51A bum heart.
00:29:52She told me so herself.
00:29:54What are you going to think of this?
00:29:55I tell you, baby, it's the truth.
00:29:57Maybe the whole thing's a lie.
00:29:59Maybe she was just trying to get your sympathy.
00:30:01No, no. The doctor was right there.
00:30:03Don't you see? This is our big chance.
00:30:06Why can't we go away now?
00:30:09Before you met her, you wanted me to go away with you.
00:30:11It's a good thing we didn't. I'd never have met her.
00:30:13Where's your business sense?
00:30:16Well, if what you say is true, you're right.
00:30:20I hate to go on living with Don all this time.
00:30:23I know, baby.
00:30:24But I can't afford to have you leaving yet.
00:31:15Oh, my God!
00:31:45Oh, my God!
00:32:15I can't make Rick out.
00:32:18You mean to tell me you don't think he really loves her?
00:32:21Well, she loves him.
00:32:22Sometimes he sounds convincing,
00:32:24and then other times I'm sure he's just after her money.
00:32:27Oh, I don't know.
00:32:28I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
00:32:30Imagination can do funny things.
00:32:32Intuition.
00:32:34That's true.
00:32:35That constant running around wore Valerie's health down.
00:32:37But now that they're married, I think he'll take good care of her.
00:32:40Well, I might as well go back to work.
00:32:42Valerie won't be needing me now.
00:32:44Miss Marcia Jordan?
00:32:45Right here.
00:32:46There's a long-distance call.
00:32:47Hawaii.
00:32:48Oh, that must be Valerie.
00:32:49You can take it right here.
00:32:53Here you are.
00:32:54Thank you, sir.
00:32:55Hello?
00:32:57Valerie, darling, how are you?
00:32:59Oh, how wonderful.
00:33:01Oh, I'm so glad for you.
00:33:04Yes, I'm fine.
00:33:07Why?
00:33:08I don't know.
00:33:10What?
00:33:13But that's impossible.
00:33:15They should be in the bottom drawer of your trunk.
00:33:17I put them there myself.
00:33:20She doesn't have her pills.
00:33:22We'll put some in the first plane.
00:33:24We'll put some on the first plane.
00:33:26Yes, he's here with me.
00:33:28Well, yes, I'm sure I can find a place.
00:33:31Yes, uh-huh.
00:33:33Where are you staying?
00:33:36Fine.
00:33:37Fine.
00:33:38Fine, then give my best to Rick, will you?
00:33:40Goodbye, dear.
00:33:42We'd better hurry.
00:33:43We've got about an hour to make the airport.
00:33:44Oh, she sounds very happy.
00:33:46I'm sure I packed those pills.
00:33:48She wants me to rent a house and engage some servants.
00:33:50I must remember to call Mr. Winthrop.
00:33:52Who's Mr. Winthrop?
00:33:53He's the chairman of the board of Vancroft Enterprises.
00:33:56She wants him to send her some money.
00:34:07Hi, dear.
00:34:15Good morning, darling.
00:34:16Enjoying your breakfast?
00:34:17Where'd you disappear to?
00:34:19I was strolling around town.
00:34:21Oh, I brought you the morning paper.
00:34:24This must be your medicine.
00:34:26Aunt Marcia, she thinks of everything.
00:34:28And I'll take care of these so you don't misplace them.
00:34:32Oh, I brought you something.
00:34:34Look here.
00:34:35Pretty?
00:34:37Pillbox. Oh, Rick, how practical.
00:34:39It's small enough for me to carry in my pocket.
00:34:41You do think of everything.
00:34:43Oh, I almost forgot.
00:34:44We have that date at the art dealers.
00:34:46I'll change as soon as I finish breakfast.
00:34:47I'll put these in the medicine kit.
00:34:50You've got something.

00:35:38© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:35:51You know, it's a good thing I brought those pills.
00:35:53You'd never take...
00:35:54You're right, darling, I wouldn't.
00:35:59Nice.
00:36:03Oh, thank you.
00:36:05The exhibit has been too spacious for Mrs. DeRiv.
00:36:08If I had known, I could have brought a few paintings over.
00:36:11I'm fine.
00:36:13You should have.
00:36:16Ah, I see Madame fancied this painting by Reuter.
00:36:20He calls this one Outdoor.
00:36:22Reuter?
00:36:25Good technique.
00:36:26I saw some of his early work.
00:36:28In Paris?
00:36:29No, in Buenos Aires.
00:36:30He's becoming very popular now.
00:36:32I wish he would paint more.
00:36:34You see, it is very rare that we get a...
00:36:36Bright and cheerful and...
00:36:38And you know, Rick, it feels like outdoors.
00:36:41Do you mind if we discuss this?
00:36:43Of course not.
00:36:44Come, darling.
00:36:47You must never show enthusiasm to an art dealer.
00:36:49No?
00:36:50If he knows you like something, he'll double the price.
00:36:56Are you really fond of it?
00:36:58Yes.
00:36:59Then let me handle it.
00:37:00You sit down.
00:37:07I'll see what I can do.
00:37:12How will I have that picture sent to you?
00:37:13Your honor?
00:37:16Be pardoned, madam.
00:37:18What can I do for you, sir?
00:37:20What are you asking for the Reuter?
00:37:21The Reuter?
00:37:24Let's see, the Reuter...
00:37:26The Reuter...
00:37:28$2,500.
00:37:30Ridiculous.
00:37:32$2,000.
00:37:35$4,000.
00:37:37$4,000?
00:37:39I don't understand.
00:37:41$2,000 for you and $2,000 for me.
00:37:55This is it. I hope you like my choice.
00:37:58Beautiful.
00:38:00And what a wonderful view, don't you think so, darling?
00:38:03Looks pretty good.
00:38:06I'm so anxious to show you the inside.
00:38:13Welcome home.
00:38:14This is William.
00:38:15Hello.
00:38:16Oh, would you help John with the bags?
00:38:17Yes, ma'am.
00:38:18It's wonderful, Marcia.
00:38:19And wait till you see the magnificent paintings we bought.
00:38:23They'll look nice in here.
00:38:24Oh, there's a downstairs bedroom.
00:38:27But it's very comfortable.
00:38:28Would you like to freshen up?
00:38:29Fine.
00:38:30You go ahead, darling.
00:38:31I'll call the hotel to see if there's any mail.
00:38:32Where's the phone?
00:38:33Oh, right there.
00:38:52Hello?
00:38:53Mail clerk, please.
00:38:57Uh, this is Mr. Ricardo De Villa.
00:38:59Is there any mail for me?
00:39:06Oh, would you connect me with room 811, please?
00:39:11Fritzie?
00:39:13I'm back.
00:39:14Look, I can't talk now, but I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can.
00:39:19I love you.
00:39:21Of course.
00:39:22Goodbye, baby.
00:39:26Goodbye.
00:39:32Hooray!
00:39:33You got a pillbox!
00:39:34Rick got it for me in Hawaii, and it's small enough for him to slip into his coat pocket.
00:39:37Well, I'm going to fill it for you.
00:39:39I'm glad he's in charge of it.
00:39:41You always hated to carry them.
00:39:43You know, it's been over two months since we've seen each other.
00:39:46How are you, Valerie?
00:39:47Good.
00:39:48Really good.
00:39:49Are you happy?
00:39:50Yes.
00:39:51He's wonderful.
00:39:52Tell me, how's Peter?
00:39:53Oh, I've been seeing quite a bit of him.
00:39:57He's coming over to give you a checkup this afternoon.
00:39:59I'd like to ask him to tea.
00:40:00Fine.
00:40:02Pardon me.
00:40:03I'm going to the hotel to pick up my car and my mail.
00:40:05Well, darling, why don't we get our things in order first?
00:40:07Peter's coming over, and then you can drop me at the hairdressers at the hotel.
00:40:11Well, don't you two want to see the rest of the house?
00:40:13Of course.
00:40:26And the water was as clear as a bell.
00:40:28We just love the beach.
00:40:30You know, Rick spent practically every minute skin diving.
00:40:33And he's good, too.
00:40:35They must have agreed with you.
00:40:36You look wonderful.
00:40:37I do feel good.
00:40:39Thanks to Rick's wonderful care.
00:40:41Well, I'm going to the hotel to pick up my car and my mail.
00:40:43Fine.
00:40:44Well, darling, why don't we get our things in order first?
00:40:46Fine.
00:40:47Well, darling, why don't we get our things in order first?
00:40:48Fine.
00:40:49Well, darling, why don't we get our things in order first?
00:40:50Fine.
00:40:51Thanks to Rick's wonderful care.
00:40:53Three o'clock now.
00:40:55Good girl.
00:41:00You don't forget either.
00:41:10Oh, Peter, I almost forgot.
00:41:13We'll be late for our appointment.
00:41:15Appointment?
00:41:16Yes, don't you remember?
00:41:17In Santa Monica.
00:41:19Oh.
00:41:20Excuse us, please.
00:41:22See you later.
00:41:23Bye.
00:41:28Darling, aren't we going to leave for the hotel now?
00:41:30Oh, yes.
00:41:31I almost forgot that.
00:41:42Well?
00:41:44Ordinary bicarbonate of soda.
00:41:46I knew it.
00:41:47I filled that pill box.
00:41:48When I opened it later, there were only three capsules left.
00:41:53Operator, get me the police.
00:41:55Are you sure that capsule didn't get in with the others by mistake?
00:41:59Hello.
00:42:00Homicide, please.
00:42:01John Fulmer.
00:42:02He's trying to kill her.
00:42:04John?
00:42:05Peter Kirk.
00:42:07Fine.
00:42:08How are you?
00:42:09Say, John, I've got a problem up here.
00:42:10I wish you could help me out.
00:42:12Thank you, Mary.
00:42:15Well, they're not home yet.
00:42:16Follow me.
00:42:25John?
00:42:27John, look at there.
00:42:32Whose gun is this?
00:42:33Oh, that's Valerie's.
00:42:34She always keeps it nearby.
00:42:36Here they are.
00:42:42This is her prescription.
00:42:44But it can't be.
00:42:47I don't know.
00:42:53That's the real thing.
00:42:55But the first capsule I took, that was a fake.
00:42:57You know it, Peter.
00:42:58You tested it yourself.
00:43:00Miss Jordan, are you sure?
00:43:02Quite sure you got that capsule out of this bottle?
00:43:04Well, I got it out of the pill box,
00:43:06but I filled it from this bottle.
00:43:08Where is the pill box?
00:43:10Well, I guess it's in Rick's pocket.
00:43:12He usually carries it when we go out.
00:43:13No, the point now is to get that pill box.
00:43:17We better get out of here.
00:43:18They're back.
00:43:20I'll introduce you as Dr. Fulmer.
00:43:21Good.
00:43:25Peter must be here.
00:43:26I saw his car outside.
00:43:28Valerie?
00:43:29Hi, Peter.
00:43:30Hi.
00:43:31You're home early.
00:43:32Isn't it a shame?
00:43:33I made the trip in vain.
00:43:34The hairdresser didn't show up.
00:43:35Hi.
00:43:36Dr. Fulmer, Mr. and Mrs. Avia.
00:43:37How do you do?
00:43:38Pleased to meet you.
00:43:39How do you do?
00:43:40I'll take that.
00:43:41All right.
00:43:42Peter, you're staying for dinner,
00:43:43and doctor, won't you join us?
00:43:45No, thank you.
00:43:46I promised the missus that I'd have dinner with her.
00:43:48You said you were going to have dinner with me tonight.
00:43:50Sorry.
00:44:00Rosa?
00:44:01Oh, it must have fallen out.
00:44:08Well, you two make any plans you like,
00:44:10but Peter's not getting out of having dinner with me.
00:44:20This is the building, I'm sure of it.
00:44:23Well, if I hurry, I can still take the missus out shopping.
00:44:26You're not going.
00:44:27Obviously, you made a mistake.
00:44:29But he must have changed the pills somehow.
00:44:31We cannot proceed on assumption.
00:44:34You're not going to do anything, anything at all?
00:44:36Sorry.
00:44:37We have to have something more concrete.
00:44:39We need to go on.
00:44:40Goodbye, miss.
00:44:41I'll see you, Peter.
00:44:42Bye, John.
00:44:43Thanks.
00:44:44I suppose you think I'm crazy, too.
00:44:46You should appreciate Homer's position.
00:44:49Rick is depriving her of her medicine,
00:44:50the very thing that's keeping her going.
00:44:52Don't be reasonable, Marsha.
00:44:53There's been no crime committed.
00:44:55What about the other pill, the bicarbonate of soda?
00:44:58You're just going to wait until a crime is committed,
00:44:59is that it?
00:45:10Follow that car.
00:45:29Going up?
00:45:40Hello, Marsha.
00:45:41I wish I could say this was a surprise.
00:45:43Well, I, uh, I just stopped by.
00:45:45I forgot something.
00:45:47An umbrella.
00:45:48I was going to our old room to see the maid.
00:45:50Do you usually leave the elevator on the floor below?
00:45:52Well...
00:45:53This is the fifth floor.
00:45:54You were in 607.
00:45:56Oh.
00:46:00Going down?
00:46:02Going down.
00:46:04I'm sorry.
00:46:06I'm sorry.
00:46:07Going down?
00:46:08Going down.
00:46:24Darling.
00:46:28It's been a long time, baby.
00:46:29You look great.
00:46:30You, too.
00:46:33Everything's going our way.
00:46:35I hope so.
00:46:37Stalin's been talking about a tour to South America.
00:46:39Stalin?
00:46:41I saw your wife in the beauty parlor.
00:46:43She looked very good to me.
00:46:45Maybe on the outside.
00:46:46I know how sick she is.
00:46:48I was thinking.
00:46:50Suppose the whole thing boomerangs.
00:46:52I've heard of people recovering from heart ailments.
00:46:54Impossible.
00:46:57I wish I could believe you.
00:46:59This is a ticket, baby.
00:47:01I can't begin to tell you how much dough this dame's got.
00:47:08I'd better get back.
00:47:09I'm about on it.
00:47:10Be careful.
00:47:12I can't afford to have anyone suspect us now.
00:47:14Not the way things are going.
00:47:17When am I going to see you?
00:47:19I'll get in touch with you as soon as I can call.
00:47:30Suppose Rick is having an affair.
00:47:32Suppose he is after Valerie's money.
00:47:34What difference does it make?
00:47:35Look how she's improved since she's been married.
00:47:37I gave her a checkup yesterday and she's fine.
00:47:40Marsha, the police know as much about Rick as you do.
00:47:44Fulmer told me that Rick was an agent
00:47:46for some distributor south of the border.
00:47:48He hasn't a dime and he hasn't a police record.
00:47:51Well, that may be true,
00:47:53but I still think something's wrong.
00:47:55He's up to no good.
00:47:58Well, if you won't help me
00:48:00and Fulmer won't help me,
00:48:02I'm going back to New York.
00:48:03You can't do that.
00:48:05I can and I will.
00:48:08Marsha would be abandoning two people who need you.
00:48:12Oh, Peter, what am I going to do?
00:48:29Don't give up, just keep on trying.
00:48:30Okay, so you beat me again.
00:48:32Your turn next time.
00:48:37You haven't been playing tennis.
00:48:39I have.
00:48:41I tried to talk her out of it.
00:48:43If he hadn't kept lobbing the ball over my head,
00:48:45I'd have beaten him too.
00:48:47No excuses, you missed all the easy ones.
00:48:49Oh, I give up.
00:48:57What are you doing?
00:48:58Nothing.
00:49:11What's wrong, darling?
00:49:13Nothing, nothing at all.
00:49:20Are you sleeping?
00:49:22Well, not really, why?
00:49:24Oh, I thought we might drop in a little ruse.
00:49:25But Rick, it must be midnight.
00:49:27It's just the right time to do a couple of spots.
00:49:31I can't sleep, I'm going out to get a drink.
00:49:33Darling, you know I won't let you go alone.
00:49:56I'm glad we decided to do this, Rick.
00:49:58It was a wonderful idea.
00:50:00You know it's nearly closing time?
00:50:02Well, I refuse to budge till you buy me a nightcap.
00:50:05Waiter, waiter.
00:50:07Two stingers, please.
00:50:15Why must artists live in the most inaccessible parts of town?
00:50:18I'm not a poet, I'm a writer.
00:50:20I'm not a poet, I'm a writer.
00:50:22I'm not a poet, I'm a writer.
00:50:23Why must artists live in the most inaccessible parts of town?
00:50:25Atmosphere.
00:50:34If you want to buy a Pearson, you must go to Pearson.
00:50:37Well, we've come this far.
00:50:39We're not going back without a painting.
00:50:49Rick, are we almost there?
00:50:50We can't be much further, darling.
00:50:52It's late.
00:50:54I'm fine.
00:51:14Valerie, are you crazy?
00:51:16I do want them to hang a ride.
00:51:18Darling, you shouldn't.
00:51:20Of course, Rick, I'd hang them just the way he wants them.
00:51:22But you shouldn't be hopping about like this.
00:51:24Good morning.
00:51:26Good morning, Peter.
00:51:28Peter, the doctor.
00:51:30What's going on here?
00:51:32I try to hang one little picture and Marsha starts giving me a bad time.
00:51:35Be a dear and take her away, will you?
00:51:37Come on.
00:51:39Okay.
00:51:41Certainly, it's good news, Peter.
00:51:43I'm sorry I have to be leaving.
00:51:46Oh, Peter, your glasses.
00:51:48Oh.
00:51:53Bye.
00:52:00Hi, Rick.
00:52:02Good morning, doctor.
00:52:04Well, I've got some good news for you.
00:52:06Yeah?
00:52:08I just examined Valerie and her condition now is better than it was when she first came here.
00:52:10Well, I told you I'd take good care of her.
00:52:12I suppose the only explanation is that psychologically, she's happy.
00:52:16And that, of course, is due to you.
00:52:18Well, thank you.
00:52:20How's Valerie's condition?
00:52:22That's the amazing thing.
00:52:24In spite of disobeying all my orders, she's...
00:52:26What do you mean?
00:52:28Oh, I know she's been having an occasional drink, keeping late hours, doing things she shouldn't do.
00:52:32Yeah?
00:52:34You know, very often, a person's will to live, change of environment...
00:52:40I don't know what's happened to Valerie, but whatever it is, it's for her benefit.
00:52:44Rick, if you'll be firm with her and see that she doesn't cheat too much,
00:52:48you'll have a healthy girl on your hands.
00:52:50Well, thanks, Peter.
00:52:52I'll take good care of her.
00:52:54I'm glad you told me about her. Believe me, I'll take good care of her.
00:52:56I know you will. See you later, Rick.
00:53:21Give me the phone, please.
00:53:29Scotch and soda.
00:53:43A Darvell room, please.
00:53:45Hello, Fritzie? Can you talk?
00:53:48This is it, babe. You're leaving town for good.
00:53:51Now, listen to me carefully.
00:53:53Pack an overnight bag.
00:53:55I'll pick you up at the rear entrance of the hotel.
00:53:57How soon can you make it?
00:53:59Ten minutes?
00:54:01Good.
00:54:14There's no turning back for either of us.
00:54:17When you get to Palm Springs,
00:54:19register under your own name at the Three Palms Motel.
00:54:22You can't miss it.
00:54:24I get it. The Three Palms Motel.
00:54:27I'll rent a car and bring those things with me.
00:54:30And I'll meet you halfway.
00:54:32Here's some money. You'd better hurry or you'll miss your train.
00:54:34Aren't you going to take me to the station?
00:54:36No, I can't. I have something to do.
00:54:38Take a cab.
00:54:44All right.
00:55:06Hello, darling.
00:55:08Where is she?
00:55:10What are you looking for?
00:55:12Fritzie, who do you think?
00:55:14Where is she?
00:55:20Listen, if you know what's good for you,
00:55:22you'll stay out of here.
00:55:24Now, get out!
00:55:29I've never heard that one before.
00:55:31Oh, but not the way Marcia tells it.
00:55:33I didn't know Marcia had a joke, did I?
00:55:35Oh, darling.
00:55:37Drop that darling business. I'm not having dinner at home.
00:55:39Well, what's wrong?
00:55:41Perhaps you two would rather dine alone.
00:55:42I would like to be alone.
00:55:44I'm sick and tired of your pussyfooting around
00:55:46and your yackety-yackety about what's right and what's wrong around here.
00:55:48Please, Rick. Why take it out on Marcia?
00:55:50She's my friend.
00:55:52She's being paid, isn't she?
00:55:54What's come over you, darling? What's troubling you?
00:55:56I'd just like to have the house to myself for a change.
00:55:58Don't wait up for me and send her away.
00:56:00I want her out of here by morning.
00:56:03Thanks, Marcia.
00:56:05But I have some water.
00:56:07Now, just sit still, dear.
00:56:12I'll get it.
00:56:42I'll get it.
00:57:13Have you been here long?
00:57:15I just got here. Let's have a stop.
00:57:17Where's the ashtray?
00:57:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:57:25Give me the glasses.
00:57:43Here are the doorknobs.
00:57:45I had a job getting them off of my nail file.
00:57:48These are the inside knobs, aren't they?
00:57:50Sure, just like you said.
00:57:53Okay.
00:57:56Oh, and here's the duplicate key to my room.
00:57:58Fifteen.
00:58:01Oh, look.
00:58:03Take my tie.
00:58:06And hang it in your closet.
00:58:08I'll remember.
00:58:09When they question you, I was with you till two in the morning.
00:58:11Let them break you down little by little.
00:58:13And once you admit I was with you,
00:58:15stick to your story.
00:58:18And just follow this lane.
00:58:20It'll take you right back to the highway.
00:58:22Be careful, baby.
00:58:39Ah!
00:59:09Ah!
00:59:40Ah!
00:59:41Ah!
01:00:08Valerie!
01:00:09Valerie, what is it?
01:00:11Valerie, are you all right?
01:00:39Valerie!
01:01:09Valerie!
01:01:39Valerie!
01:01:40Valerie!
01:01:41Valerie!
01:01:42Valerie!
01:01:43Valerie!
01:01:44Valerie!
01:01:45Valerie!
01:01:46Valerie!
01:01:47Valerie!
01:01:48Valerie!
01:01:49Valerie!
01:01:50Valerie!
01:01:51Valerie!
01:01:52Valerie!
01:01:53Valerie!
01:01:54Valerie!
01:01:55Valerie!
01:01:56Valerie!
01:01:57Valerie!
01:01:58Valerie!
01:01:59Valerie!
01:02:00Valerie!
01:02:01Valerie!
01:02:02Valerie!
01:02:03Valerie!
01:02:04Valerie!
01:02:05Valerie!
01:02:06Valerie!
01:02:07Valerie!
01:02:08Valerie!
01:02:09Valerie!
01:02:10Valerie!
01:02:11Valerie!
01:02:12Valerie!
01:02:13Valerie!
01:02:14Valerie!
01:02:15Valerie!
01:02:16Valerie!
01:02:17Valerie!
01:02:18Valerie!
01:02:19Valerie!
01:02:20Valerie!
01:02:21Valerie!
01:02:22Valerie!
01:02:23Valerie!
01:02:24Valerie!
01:02:25Valerie!
01:02:26Valerie!
01:02:27Valerie!
01:02:28Valerie!
01:02:29Valerie!
01:02:30Valerie!
01:02:31Valerie!
01:02:32Valerie!
01:02:33Valerie!
01:02:34Valerie!
01:02:35Valerie!
01:02:36Valerie!
01:02:37Mr. DeVere.
01:02:38Hello, Williams.
01:02:41What's the matter?
01:02:50What are you doing here at this hour?
01:02:52Sit down, Mr. DeVere.
01:02:54What's wrong?
01:02:55Where were you tonight?
01:02:57Where do you want to know, doctor?
01:02:59Not doctor, Mr. DeVere.
01:03:01Detective Sergeant John Fulmer, homicide.
01:03:04Homicide?
01:03:05Where's Valerie?
01:03:06Is she awake?
01:03:07No.
01:03:08She's not awake.
01:03:10Well, what are the police doing here?
01:03:11Valerie's dead!
01:03:13Dead?
01:03:14What are you talking about?
01:03:16You want to know?
01:03:17You killed her.
01:03:18Have you lost your mind?
01:03:20You stay here.
01:03:21The coroner's with her.
01:03:23But when?
01:03:24How did it happen?
01:03:25You're not fooling us, you...
01:03:27You...
01:03:28Do I have to stand here and listen to this?
01:03:30This woman has been interfering with my life for weeks,
01:03:33with her suspicions and constant nagging.
01:03:35Miss Jordan, circumstances indicate suicide.
01:03:39You put the gun in her hand to make it look like suicide.
01:03:41Now, hold up a minute, Miss Jordan.
01:03:45You'd better wait here until the coroner makes his report.
01:03:51In a way, I don't blame her, Sergeant.
01:03:55I'm not proud of what I did tonight.
01:03:57If only I hadn't quarreled with Valerie.
01:04:01Yes, we quarreled.
01:04:04My nerves were shot.
01:04:05Well, I even picked on little things.
01:04:07I picked on Marcia.
01:04:09I ended up shouting and raving like a maniac.
01:04:13We'd never been angry with each other before, never.
01:04:16Valerie took it hard.
01:04:18Marcia will tell you that.
01:04:20She wasn't considering suicide, I know it.
01:04:23Valerie was a very happy woman.
01:04:24It's hard to believe she'd take her own life.
01:04:27Of course, it doesn't make sense.
01:04:29Can't you see that, Sergeant?
01:04:30We are going to investigate every aspect of this case.
01:04:37Mr. Devia, where were you tonight?
01:04:42I was 100 miles away, in Palm Springs.
01:04:45Where in Palm Springs?
01:04:49At the Three Palms Motel.
01:04:50And what were you doing there?
01:04:56It's a little embarrassing, you see.
01:04:58There's another person involved.
01:05:00A lady.
01:05:02I'm sure a gentleman would keep his lips buttoned.
01:05:05But in a case like this,
01:05:07I'm certain that you'll cooperate and help us get to the bottom of things.
01:05:12Of course.
01:05:13I hope this information will be handled with discretion.
01:05:16Of course.
01:05:18I was with Mrs. Darvell.
01:05:22The police aren't going to believe any alibi that woman gives.
01:05:25Now, Miss Jordan, relax, please.
01:05:28I tried to break it off, but Fitzy wouldn't let me.
01:05:31She needed money.
01:05:32She threatened to tell Valerie if I didn't give it to her.
01:05:36Did anyone see you there?
01:05:38Besides Mrs. Darvell, I mean.
01:05:42I don't know.
01:05:43I'm not sure.
01:05:45I had a couple of drinks while I was there.
01:05:49My tie.
01:05:51The tie I was wearing.
01:05:52I must have forgotten it.
01:05:53I must have left it there.
01:05:57The key.
01:06:00Silly habit of mine, always walking off with hotel keys.
01:06:03Cabin 15.
01:06:05He's lying.
01:06:06And that stuff about blackmail.
01:06:09His affair with that dancer didn't end when he married Valerie.
01:06:12Not then or later.
01:06:13He killed her.
01:06:14I know it.
01:06:15Take it easy, Marsha.
01:06:17If he spent the evening in Palm Springs, it doesn't matter why he went there.
01:06:20Digging into it would only cause scandal.
01:06:22Yes, Doctor?
01:06:23What did you find?
01:06:24Something rather curious, Sergeant.
01:06:26The cause of death, pulmonary embolism as a result of a heart attack.
01:06:30Heart attack?
01:06:31Died about 10 o'clock.
01:06:33Perhaps a little earlier, a little later.
01:06:35Hard to say exactly.
01:06:36Shot after her heart had stopped beating.
01:06:39Peter!
01:06:40This is terrible.
01:06:42You mean she was dead when that shot was fired?
01:06:45No question about it.
01:06:46The shot was fired into a corpse.
01:06:49Well, see you later at headquarters, Sergeant.
01:06:51Now we know it couldn't have been suicide.
01:06:53Whoever wanted to kill her didn't know she was already dead.
01:06:58I'm perfectly willing to do anything you say.
01:07:01But what can you do if you prove someone shot her?
01:07:06Can anyone be held for murder?
01:07:11Can anyone be sent to the gas chamber for shooting a corpse?
01:07:15You can't let him get away with this.
01:07:19Whoever fired that shot can't be held for murder.
01:07:21Of that, I'm certain.
01:07:23Is this the De Villa residence?
01:07:24Yes, sir.
01:07:26Excuse me.
01:07:29How long have you been here, Sergeant?
01:07:31Oh, I've been here for hours.
01:07:32But the flash just came through.
01:07:33Flash?
01:07:34What flash?
01:07:35About Ricardo De Villa.
01:07:36He lives here, doesn't he?
01:07:37Yes, he's in there now.
01:07:39Has he confessed?
01:07:40No, he claims he was in Palm Springs.
01:07:42We're checking on his alibi, of course.
01:07:44He claims he was in Palm Springs?
01:08:02Well, thank you, dear.
01:08:10Just checking, Mr. De Villa.
01:08:13What was the name of that motel in Palm Springs?
01:08:15Do I have to go through that again?
01:08:17You've got the key.
01:08:18You can read.
01:08:19Oh, yes.
01:08:22There, cabin 15, Three Palms Motel.
01:08:26That's it, Sergeant?
01:08:28Well, you weren't lying.
01:08:30Your fingerprints are all over the place.
01:08:32I thought we'd settled this thing.
01:08:34Let me have the tie, Frank.
01:08:38Is this the tie you left in Mrs. Darvell's cabin?
01:08:43That's it.
01:08:45Let's go.
01:08:46Go?
01:08:47Go where?
01:08:48To headquarters.
01:08:49You're being booked for murder.
01:08:51What are you talking about?
01:08:53My wife died a natural death.
01:08:54You know that.
01:08:55And I was in Palm Springs, 100 miles away.
01:08:57You know that, too.
01:08:58That's correct, Mr. De Villa.
01:08:59That's why we're taking you along.
01:09:01You admitted Mrs. Darvell was blackmailing you.
01:09:04Yes.
01:09:05Then we'd better get along.
01:09:07Or do you want to confess here?
01:09:09Confess?
01:09:10Confess what?
01:09:11To the murder of Fritzie Darvell.
01:09:13Fritzie Darvell?
01:09:14That's impossible.
01:09:15Fritzie couldn't have been murdered.
01:09:16She was found strangled in cabin 15, Three Palms Motel in Palm Springs.
01:09:21Wait a minute.
01:09:22Listen.
01:09:23I didn't kill her.
01:09:24I wasn't even with her.
01:09:25Believe me, Fulmer, I can explain everything.
01:09:27You've already explained.
01:09:29No, no.
01:09:30That was just an alibi.
01:09:31I can tell you who killed Fritzie, though.
01:09:33It was her husband.
01:09:34She left him.
01:09:35He was jealous.
01:09:36Bring him in.
01:09:37Make him talk.
01:09:38We can't do that.
01:09:39He was in an automobile accident about an hour ago.
01:09:41He died on the way to the hospital.
01:09:43But if he's dead, how can I...
01:09:46Fulmer, you're not going to charge me with a murder I didn't commit.
01:09:50Let's go.
01:09:55You're crazy, Mr. De Villa.
01:09:57You're ridiculous.
01:09:58I'll tell you I'm innocent.
01:10:06Come on.
01:10:23Let's get some fresh air.
01:10:36Let's go.
