00:11Mr. & Mrs. North starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denning.
00:15♪♪
00:44♪♪
00:54Oh, Pam, I thought we were going away for the weekend, not for the summer.
00:58You told me to look my most attractive. For that, I need clothes.
01:01Oh, nonsense. Randolph Summers would love you in a sun suit.
01:04Doesn't seem quite profitable to me, using your wife to entice another man.
01:08My dear Pam, Randolph Summers is a best-selling novelist.
01:11I am a publisher who likes to publish best-selling novels.
01:14Now, all I want you to do is to be charming to him and entertain his wife while I try to sign him up.
01:19I'll show him my card tricks.
01:20Well, I wouldn't call that entertainment.
01:22Oh, Pam, you don't really need all this junk, do you?
01:25We'll only be there two days, and we're the only guests.
01:28You use your weapons. I'll use mine.
01:31You know, darling, I'm rather looking forward to a peaceful weekend in the country.
01:35When has it ever been peaceful with you around?
01:38Oh!
01:40See what I mean?
01:51You had no right to rent the house.
01:53Without even discussing it with us. It's disgraceful.
01:55But I tell you, I couldn't help it.
01:56Don't keep telling me you couldn't help it.
01:58Are you sure this is the right place?
02:00We had an understanding, an agreement.
02:05Oh, Jerry, come in, come in.
02:08We're having a fight.
02:09Private or free for all?
02:10This is my wife, Pam.
02:12Randolph Summers?
02:13I so look forward to meeting you.
02:15Oh, here's Pam and Jerry North.
02:17How do you do?
02:18And these two snakes in the grass are Jim and Phyllis Tucker.
02:21Randy, you're just being pig-headed.
02:23I'm sorry.
02:27Oh, don't mind us. We never miss if we can.
02:29Well, you're in for a good one.
02:30You see, the Tuckers live next door. In fact, I'm their landlord.
02:33Well, that's a good start for a fight right there.
02:35Oh, it gets better.
02:36Randy, I think we'd better call time,
02:38at least until I've shown the North to their room.
02:40Oh, don't stop on account of us.
02:42It's not that interesting, Mrs. North.
02:44It's just that the Tuckers have sublet the house
02:46to a man we thoroughly dislike.
02:48A mistress of understatement.
02:50Shall we go up?
02:51Anybody home?
02:52If it's who I think it is, the answer is no.
02:54Well, well, well.
02:56If it isn't my old pal Randolph
02:58and Jerry North, the boy publisher.
03:00Hello, Wallace.
03:01And what do you want?
03:02I think that you all know my wife,
03:04except this young lady.
03:05I'm Pam North.
03:06And I'm Ned Walters,
03:07a rival publisher of your husband's.
03:09You must have heard him talk of me.
03:11He hates my insides.
03:12As who does not?
03:13I call that very unneighborly.
03:15I'm sorry to barge in like this,
03:17but we just wanted to get the key to the house
03:19from the Tuckers.
03:20Oh, you must be the people who rented.
03:22It's ironic, isn't it?
03:24Poor old Randy has his least favorite character
03:26installed right next door to him.
03:28Excuse me one moment.
03:29I'm going to burn that house down.
03:30Why don't you wait until we're in it?
03:32Jim, could we have the key to the house?
03:34My wife wants to do a few things.
03:36Sort of do the place over.
03:37Over my dead body?
03:39Oh, don't love being a little childish.
03:41After all, we are going to be neighbors.
03:44We might as well make the best of it.
03:47What my wife is trying to say in her faltering manner is,
03:50why not bury the hatchet?
03:51No, don't tempt me.
03:53Mrs. Walters is right.
03:55It's silly to carry on this feud.
03:57Why don't you all make up,
03:58and then we could smoke a pipe of peace or something.
04:01Well, I'm perfectly willing.
04:02I'll even take a drink on it.
04:03Go on, Randy.
04:04OK, I surrender.
04:07Well, what about those drinks?
04:08May I help you?
04:11What's everyone going to have?
04:13Scotch on the rocks for me.
04:15I seldom take a drink,
04:16but since this is such a joyous reunion,
04:18make mine bourbon on the rocks.
04:21I'm in the publishing business too, Mr. North.
04:23Oh, is there so?
04:24What firm?
04:25Jim is my editorial assistant.
04:26I'm sending him to London to open up a branch.
04:29At least, that's what he thinks.
04:30Actually, I'm getting him out of the country
04:32so that I can live in his house.
04:34Why, Phyllis, you get more like your father every day.
04:37Phyllis's father was the head of our firm
04:39until he got old and weak.
04:41You mean until you became too strong.
04:44Phyllis, you shouldn't talk to your husband's boss like that.
04:48Here you are, dear.
04:54Ladies and gentlemen,
04:58I give you a toast to new friendships.
05:00To you, Randolph.
05:04Oh, that scotch, and I hate the stuff.
05:07You have my drink, dear,
05:09and you've already drunk most of it.
05:11Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.
05:23She's dead.
05:26A very appropriate toast.
05:31As sheriff, I warn you that none of you
05:33may leave the county until after the inquest.
05:36But surely there's no reason to keep me here.
05:38I'm sorry, Mr. Walters, that goes for everyone.
05:40You certainly should want to help clear up your wife's murder.
05:43Take my advice.
05:44Stop looking for my wife's murderer
05:46and start looking for my murderer.
05:48Just what do you mean by that?
05:50The poison was put in the drink intended for me.
05:53The bourbon on the rocks,
05:54not the scotch which my wife ordered.
05:56Uh, do you suspect anyone
05:58who might have a motive to kill you?
06:00I suspect everyone in this room
06:02with the exception of yourself and Mrs. North.
06:04Oh, that's very generous of you.
06:06If I'd wanted to kill you, Walters,
06:07I would have done it two years ago, and...
06:09Go on, Mr. Summers.
06:11What were you going to say?
06:13I'll say it for him.
06:14He thinks his wife and I were in love.
06:16Of course, it's perfectly ridiculous.
06:18Ridiculous, but true.
06:20What's the use of pretending it'll all come out eventually?
06:23I was in love with Ned Walters two years ago.
06:26I even thought of leaving my husband for him.
06:33And then he met another woman,
06:35a rich woman who could help him with his career.
06:37The late Mrs. Walters.
06:39Are you suggesting I married my wife for her money?
06:41Just a moment, please.
06:43Uh, what about you, Mr. Tucker?
06:46Oh, I didn't try to kill him.
06:48Although I would have liked to.
06:50Well, such popularity must be deserved.
06:52Go on, Mr. Tucker.
06:54I was working for Phyllis's...
06:56my wife's father.
06:58My father-in-law intended that I should take his place,
07:00but, uh, Walters managed to get
07:02such a stranglehold on the business
07:04that he rose to the top spot after my father-in-law's death.
07:09Furthermore, if it hadn't been for your nagging and bullying,
07:12my father'd probably be alive today.
07:14Well, you certainly all seem to have your motives.
07:18And you certainly all had the opportunity.
07:20Why, there isn't one of you
07:22who couldn't have slipped the poison in that drink.
07:24Well, I'll be getting on.
07:27I have to check the nature of that poison.
07:30Where will you all be stopping?
07:32Well, Mr. and Mrs. North will be staying here with us.
07:35We'll be next door to our house.
07:37And you, Mr. Walters?
07:39I'll stay in the police station or any other place
07:41where my well-wishers can't get at me.
07:43Now, stop being melodramatic.
07:45If you want, you can stay in our guest room.
07:47I'll even give you a key so you can lock yourself in.
07:50Well, Mr. Walters?
07:52I'll accept the offer, providing the key goes with it.
07:55Be seeing you all in the morning.
07:57We hope.
07:59Just another quiet weekend.
08:14Jerry! Jerry!
08:16What do you want?
08:18I think I heard a shot. It sounded like it came from the Tucker house.
08:21Oh, don't be silly.
08:23It's only that confounded owl.
08:25Well, I never heard an owl that sounded like a revolver.
08:28Come on. Put on your robe.
08:36Here.
08:38Well, don't knock yourself out.
08:44What was it? A shot?
08:46Yes. Someone shot at me.
08:48Well, did you see anyone? No.
08:50Well, are you sure they shot at you?
08:52Oh, what do you call this empty shell? I found it just outside the window.
08:54What happened? I thought I heard a shot.
08:56You did. Somebody shot at me.
08:58Well, there doesn't seem to be anyone there now.
09:00You came in after your wife, Tucker. Where were you?
09:02I came from my bedroom, of course. Couldn't find my robe.
09:04What are you trying to infer?
09:06Well, someone shot at me.
09:08And I'll find out who it was.
09:13Oh, hurry, Jerry. Aren't you dressed yet?
09:15How can I hurry when I can hardly move?
09:17Oh, Walters must have designed this room.
09:19Oh, let's cut out this nonsense and get back to bed.
09:22Look, Jerry. There's someone running across the lawn from the Tuckers.
09:25Maybe it's the one who fired the shot.
09:27No, it's probably the milkman. Come on. Back to bed.
09:31Not till I find out what's going on around here.
09:33Hey, Pam, I just found out who killed Mrs. Walters.
09:35Who? You. Me?
09:37Sure. You said you wanted to kill him and you helped prepare the drinks.
09:44Ned, Walters. What are you doing here at this hour?
09:47Where's your husband?
09:49He's upstairs, asleep, of course.
09:51That I'd like to see for myself.
09:53You'll do nothing of the kind.
09:55I fully realize what you've been through tonight,
09:57but other people deserve consideration, too.
09:59How long has he been asleep?
10:01Well, I don't know exactly. He came to bed shortly after I did.
10:04Why are you so concerned?
10:06Because I think he tried to kill me.
10:08Oh, you're insane.
10:10He's been asleep for hours.
10:12Anyway, he doesn't walk in his sleep.
10:20Well.
10:22I've written this scene many, many times,
10:24but suddenly I can't seem to remember the dialogue.
10:26What does this mean?
10:28Randy, I thought you were upstairs asleep.
10:31Yes, now I remember that line.
10:33And then the husband says, what is he doing here?
10:35Oh, say that again.
10:37And then the husband says, what is he doing here?
10:39Oh, save that drivel for your books.
10:41I came here to find out why you took a shot at me just now.
10:43That's about as lame an excuse as the other one
10:45about somebody trying to poison you.
10:47What do you think I'm doing here, Summers?
10:49Trying to warm up old embers?
10:51Get out of here. Randy, please.
10:53You're burning a room, Sylvia.
10:55No, no, Randy. You must lose your temper.
10:57Oh, Ned, get out of here before there's any trouble.
10:59Not before I find out one thing.
11:01Somebody took a shot at me through my bedroom window.
11:03Your wife said that you were upstairs asleep,
11:05and I thought you were upstairs.
11:07I want to know where you were and what you were doing.
11:09You probably won't believe me, but I was out taking a walk,
11:11thinking about you.
11:13I suppose I should feel flattered.
11:15No, not particularly.
11:17I was thinking I should have killed you two years ago.
11:19Randy, no, you mustn't say things like that.
11:21Don't stop him. He means it.
11:23You bet I mean it.
11:27Mrs. North, what's happened?
11:29I came down for a glass of cookie and milk.
11:31Oh, Pam.
11:33Pam, are you all right?
11:35Oh, gosh, I thought you'd broken your neck.
11:37Oh, come now, North. We can't have everything.
11:39I bumped my head.
11:41Let's hope it knocked a little sense into it.
11:43I've prescribed the same thing for you.
12:03Come on.
12:21Morning.
12:23Oh, good morning, Sheriff. Any news?
12:25Only about the poison. It was analyzed as purifying.
12:27Never heard of it.
12:29It's a rather rare compound used mostly in painting fabrics.
12:31Fabrics?
12:33Why, that's strange.
12:35What is?
12:37Mrs. Walters was a decorator.
12:39Her specialty was hand-colored fabrics.
12:41But Mrs. Walters is dead.
12:43Do you think she used it to kill herself?
12:45Or her husband?
12:47I don't understand.
12:49I do. She put the poison in her husband's drink,
12:51and the drinks got shifted around.
12:53But it was Walters who did the shifting.
12:55She must have known her own glass was poisoned.
12:57Maybe she was afraid.
12:59Maybe she'd have found some excuse,
13:01dropped the glass, or spilled it,
13:03rather than drink the poison and kill herself.
13:05Someone's always spoiling my theories.
13:07Especially when they're wrong.
13:09I'm not so sure I'm wrong.
13:11Isn't it possible that having planned Walters' murder
13:13and seeing it fail,
13:15she preferred to do away with herself
13:17rather than go on living with him?
13:19I know I would.
13:21Well, I'm glad you warned me. Forewarned is forearmed.
13:23Well, thank heaven I don't write detective stories.
13:25Well, Sheriff, what do you think of this?
13:27A .45? What's this all about?
13:29Somebody shot at me through my bedroom window last night.
13:31A bad marksman, or I wouldn't be here to tell the tale.
13:33I told you, you and your owl.
13:35Uh, could you tell whether it was a man or a woman?
13:37I was asleep, and by the time I got to the window,
13:39there was no one in sight.
13:41Well, I'll go and have a look.
13:43Uh, by the way, Mr. Walters,
13:45how did you happen to have your window open?
13:47I thought you were afraid of another attempt on your life.
13:49I'm also afraid of being suffocated.
13:51Do you know what these farm guest rooms are?
13:53Oh, they certainly are. Some of them.
13:55I won't be close until I get back.
13:57Oh, Sheriff, would you like me to go with you?
13:59He would not.
14:01Well, Mr. Walters,
14:03it looks as if you're running out of suspects.
14:05On the contrary, any one of you here might have shot me.
14:07And I know at least one of you that has a gun.
14:09If I had taken a shot at you,
14:11believe me, I wouldn't have missed.
14:13Well, that does squelch my theory.
14:15What was that, Mrs. North?
14:17Oh, nothing. Just a theory.
14:19I think you owe it to me to tell me anything
14:21that might help solve my wife's murder.
14:23All right, then. You put your foot in it.
14:25Get it out.
14:27Well, I... I thought...
14:29Well, you see, the Sheriff found out
14:31that the poison was curafine.
14:33Curafine?
14:35It's used in painting fabrics,
14:37and I thought that maybe your wife
14:39was trying to get you and got herself.
14:41Very clever, Mrs. North, but the motive is missing.
14:43Why should my wife want to kill me?
14:45After a year and a half of being married to you, why not?
14:47I'm sorry to disillusion you, Randolph,
14:49but my wife was sufficiently fond of me
14:51to make an offer only a day ago
14:53to invest in my business and become a partner.
14:55Well, I thought your business was such a success.
14:57It didn't need financing.
14:59We were going to enlarge the business
15:01and make even greater profits.
15:03And by the way, North,
15:05that was a very interesting bit of information
15:07about the curafine.
15:09What's so interesting about it?
15:11Curafine is not only used for fabric,
15:13but also for color printing,
15:15for book jackets and illustrations.
15:17That would make it available to your husband
15:19and also to Jim.
15:21And to you, too.
15:23If I was going to do away with myself,
15:25I wouldn't be so elaborate.
15:27I prefer privacy.
15:29He has you there.
15:31Oh, stop gloating. He has you, too.
15:43How can you pay cards at a time like this?
15:45I like cards.
15:47You play as though you do.
15:49That's my hand. Oh, sorry.
15:51Pamela, keep your mind on the game, please.
15:53I wonder why that sheriff doesn't come back.
15:55Well, I'll bet one spade.
15:57Two hearts.
15:59Uh, I'll buy.
16:05Anytime you're ready, Pam.
16:07Ready for what?
16:09Ready for your bid. We are playing bridge.
16:13I bid a diamond.
16:15Insufficient bid.
16:17Why is it? He bid two hearts.
16:19Oh.
16:21Maybe the sheriff got lost.
16:29Could I review the bidding?
16:31That does it.
16:33I'm tired of playing cards.
16:35I'm going to get some fresh air.
16:37Here, you take my hand. No, no, no, thank you.
16:39You mustn't spoil the game. The bid is one diamond.
16:41Very well. Just one rubber.
16:43Pam, don't leave the county. Remember what the sheriff said.
16:45I'm just going to exercise the dogs.
16:47Whose dogs?
16:49Mine.
17:13I'm going to exercise the dogs.
17:43I'm going to exercise the dogs.
18:13I'm going to exercise the dogs.
18:43I'm going to exercise the dogs.
19:13Ugh.
19:15Ugh.
19:17Ugh.
19:29Jerry, the one thing that really puzzled me
19:31is the slipper.
19:35What's so suspicious about a man coming into his room
19:37and looking for his slippers?
19:39Nothing.
19:41and put the other on the table.
19:43There's only one answer to that.
19:44He was hiding something in it.
19:47Pam, don't you think we'd better get down there
19:49and join the others?
19:50Oh, Jerry, we mustn't go down until we're sure
19:52the others are there.
19:54This is going to be a very important experiment,
19:56and we mustn't make any mistakes.
20:02Hmm, I think I hear the clink of glasses.
20:05Hey, we'd better get down there before we miss something.
20:10Oh, come on.
20:11Hmm, you smell awfully good, Sheriff.
20:22You sure you know what to do now?
20:24Yes, but I'm not sure I'll let you do it.
20:26Oh, darling, you've got to.
20:27It's the only way.
20:28Oh, the things you can think up to get us into.
20:31Come on.
20:34Well, we've given you up for lost.
20:36Pam Dress is on the installment plan.
20:38One garment an hour.
20:40I'm sorry we're late.
20:41What's the idea?
20:42Put all those lights.
20:44Can you see anything, Jerry?
20:46No.
20:47Can you see anything glow?
20:49What's the matter, Jim?
20:50Take it easy.
20:51Everything's all right.
20:52May I ask why you did that?
20:54I'm sorry.
20:55It was reflex action.
20:56Huh?
20:57Well, it got broken at home.
20:58And when it was fixed, it worked the wrong way.
20:59You know, up instead of down.
21:01Well, now, really.
21:02Put those lights on.
21:03Put the lights on.
21:04Put those lights on.
21:05Does anyone have the correct time?
21:06I was just showing you how our lights work at home.
21:09Yes, I think we have the point, Mrs. North.
21:11You don't need to press it.
21:12What have your lights at home got to do
21:13with turning those off here?
21:14Oh, that's where the reflex action part comes in.
21:16You see, when I walk into our living room,
21:18I always turn the lights on.
21:19And for a moment, I thought I was home.
21:20Which gives you a rough idea of my home life.
21:22For a moment, I thought someone was having another go at me.
21:26For a moment, it entered my mind.
21:30Oh, can't we stop, forget all this for a moment?
21:34Can't we stop, forget all this for a moment?
21:36I mean, forget that there was a murder
21:38and act like civilized people.
21:40I don't intend to forget that my wife was murdered instead of me.
21:43That doesn't tend to make one act like civilized people.
21:45But if we keep suspecting each other and brooding about it,
21:47anything's apt to happen.
21:48Exactly.
21:49That's why I hope the sheriff gets back before it does.
21:51I have an idea.
21:53Let's all search each other for concealed weapons.
21:55Mrs. North, you're full of ideas,
21:57all of them equally insane.
21:59Well, now, just a minute, Wallace.
22:00You can't talk to my wife that way.
22:02Oh, please, let's stop all this.
22:03Oh, why don't we all have a drink?
22:05It might cheer things up a little.
22:06Well, that's just about the mix.
22:07Nothing for me.
22:09Well, surely you don't think we're gonna try and poison you again.
22:11Oh, you admit you tried it once.
22:15That's a lot of rotten you know it.
22:17Jim, tell him now.
22:18Tell me what?
22:19Just this.
22:20I'm quitting your rotten firm as of now.
22:22That saves me the trouble of firing you,
22:24although it seems a pity.
22:25What's a pity?
22:26If I'd have been killed,
22:27your husband would have stayed with the firm
22:29and probably taken my job.
22:31An excellent motive, isn't it?
22:32I thought we were gonna stop all of this
22:34and have drinks.
22:35Coming up.
22:37Mr. Walters?
22:39Another idea?
22:40A safe one this time.
22:41See this decanter?
22:42Clearly.
22:43Well, if I have a drink from it with you,
22:45will you be convinced it is not poison?
22:47I told you yesterday I seldom drink.
22:49Oh, but you drank yesterday
22:50and after all this is an occasion, too.
22:52Who knows?
22:53Any moment we may discover
22:54that one of us is the guilty party.
22:55Well, no one has to urge me.
22:57Well, just to be congenial.
23:02See?
23:03Nothing up my sleeve
23:04or even in my glass except liquor.
23:12Danno, wasn't that good?
23:14Not bad.
23:15You see?
23:16Scotch is a good drink after all.
23:18Bourbon.
23:19Oh, no, you just had a drink of scotch.
23:21Bourbon.
23:22It says so on the decanter.
23:23We switched them earlier this evening
23:24when no one was downstairs.
23:25What is this?
23:26Very simple, Randy.
23:27Yesterday, just before Mrs. Walters died,
23:29Mr. Walters said he couldn't stand
23:31scotch.
23:32In fact, he shifted drinks with his wife.
23:34Well, he just drank a whole glass of scotch
23:36and admitted he liked it.
23:37What have you got to say to that, Walters?
23:39Well, you're a fine bunch of amateur detectives.
23:41You'll also recall that I said that I seldom drank.
23:43I wouldn't know the difference between bourbon and scotch.
23:45You knew the difference yesterday.
23:47And by the way,
23:49slipper, slipper, who has the slipper?
23:51What do you mean by that?
23:53Well, I hope you don't mind,
23:54but I was under your bed
23:55when you were groping for your slipper.
23:57You left one on the table in your room.
23:59What was in it, Mr. Walters?
24:00Are you implying...
24:01Hold this.
24:02Jerry, grab him.
24:06The watch!
24:08What's going on here?
24:11Here's your murderer.
24:13And here's the cure-a-file.
24:14It was planted on me.
24:15I think not.
24:16I've done some checking, Walters.
24:18You insured your wife's life for $100,000 just last month.
24:20That's the money you were after.
24:22I might have known it.
24:23This is an outrage.
24:24I demand to see my lawyer.
24:25You can get in touch with him from the jail.
24:28By the way, Mrs. North,
24:29how did you know?
24:30It was so simple, you see.
24:31I was under his bed.
24:34What?
24:35Don't interrupt.
24:36I went out to get a breath of fresh air,
24:38and while I was under his bed,
24:39he reached in for his slippers
24:40and I saw his watch.
24:41It glowed.
24:42So I knew that whoever had a glowing watch
24:43must be after the poison
24:44that had to be the murderer.
24:45Why, he even shot a bullet
24:46into his own wall
24:47so that we'd be suspected.
24:49Would you mind repeating that?
24:51Certainly.
24:52You see, I went out to get a breath of fresh air...
24:54Oh, no!
24:55Oh, no!
