00:00Mr. and Mrs. North, starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denning.
00:30The
00:57motif for the fall is black.
00:59Very smart, very chic.
01:04Now this creation is Dream of Autumn.
01:09The slim line has a slight polonaise drape which falls into the back into a peacock poof.
01:16And the décolleté is outlined by a pleated net blouse.
01:21You like, huh? Chic, huh?
01:24Now this creation is called In October.
01:28Ah! Very smart, very chic.
01:32And is a speciality of Madame Suzy.
01:38Elegant, n'est-ce pas, huh?
01:52Thieves, they have robbed me again.
01:56Harry, there must be a leak somewhere.
01:58Oh no, no, I don't think so.
01:59Oh yes, there must be.
02:01No, those designs were never out of my sight.
02:05And the gowns?
02:06You know that I slept in the sewing room from the time we started the cutting until the day of the show.
02:11Could it be one of the girls?
02:13No, I doubt it.
02:15They never see the gowns until they put them on.
02:17Well then how was it done?
02:19Thieves, dirty rotten thieves.
02:21Now I'm going to do something about this.
02:24Here.
02:25Harry, you come with me.
02:36No, no, no.
02:37Thank you very much.
02:39Bye.
02:40No.
02:41There, there.
02:42There.
02:43Here it is, here.
02:44Yes, that's the dress.
02:46Look at this.
02:47Oh, you'll never get into that size, honey.
02:50Where did you get that?
02:51How should I know?
02:52I don't trace them.
02:53I just sell them.
02:54You stole this from me.
02:57Are you mad or something?
02:59The cows never steal clothes.
03:01They practically give them away.
03:03Show her the design.
03:05Look at that.
03:06Same neckline, same shoulders, and the waistline is mine.
03:09You are thieves, all of you.
03:12Mr. Bostwick.
03:13Mr. Bostwick.
03:14Look at that.
03:15All of you.
03:16This is my design.
03:17This is my gown.
03:18And they stole it away from me.
03:19And now they sell my $250 gown for $29.95.
03:20What are you doing?
03:21Mr. Bostwick.
03:22You can't do that.
03:23Oh, mon dieu, je suis donc content de vous voir.
03:25So delighted to see you.
03:26Pardon me.
03:27No.
03:28And you, Mr. North.
03:29You know, husbands seldom accompany their wives here.
03:30Yeah, but their checks do, don't they?
03:31Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
03:32Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
03:33Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
03:34Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
03:35Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
03:36Oh, Mr. Stonemob.

04:01Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
04:02Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
04:03Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
04:04Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
04:05Oh, Mr. Stonemob.
04:06Now, you will notice that the motif for the fall is black.
04:10Very smart, very chic.
04:13Now, this creation is called It Happened One Night in October.
04:21This is a slipper satin strapless sheet gown with an empire waistline.
04:29And the body is slightly treated to a big bow in the back.
04:34And the bow is a speciality of Madame Suzy.
04:50Elegant, n'est-ce pas?
04:52No, I don't care for that one.
04:55I care for that one.
05:06$250.
05:08You mean for the whole shop?
05:10No, dear, just for the dress.
05:17Oh, please excuse me.
05:19I will be back in a few minutes, madame.
05:21I wonder what he really sees in you.
05:23It couldn't be your charming language.
05:25Shut up!
05:26Stop it!
05:27Stop it!
05:28Now, what is the matter?
05:29Have you lost your mind, you two?
05:31Now, get in some clothes, quickly, or I'll have you both thrown out of here.
05:34Annie, Miss, and you.
05:36If you can't keep the girls in line, I will get someone who can.
05:40This is becoming irksome.
05:42Am I to show the gowns, or am I not?
05:45All right, all right.
05:47Girls, come quickly.
05:48Jennifer, why aren't you in the blue lace?
05:51I was sent up here to talk to you again.
05:53What about?
05:54Now, stop giving me that baby stares if you don't know what I'm talking about.
05:58Now, look, kid, we're in the same racket together.
06:00Now, you're getting a pretty nice cut, and so am I.
06:02And we're getting sick of this nonsense.
06:04Listen, mister, I'm not in any racket but the model racket.
06:07So you're getting your signals crossed.
06:09My cut is just enough to keep body and soul together.
06:14I've got to admit, you're doing all right with the body.
06:17Who writes your material?
06:18The big guy, downtown, the boss, the man I bring the pictures to,
06:21and he doesn't happen to like your attitude.
06:23Pictures?
06:25So that's how they've been copying Madam Susie's gowns.
06:28Look, why don't you stop giving me this baby talk?
06:30You knew what was in those envelopes.
06:32No, I didn't.
06:34Until now.
06:35Well, then you know now.
06:37And stop yapping about more dough.
06:38When business gets better, the boss will take care of you.
06:40And if you don't do what we want you to do, I'll take care of you myself.
06:44Myself, do you get it?
06:49Oh, Mr. Linden.
06:51I must ask you again to not come into this dressing room, please.
06:56You are perfectly right, Madam.
06:58I just wanted to deliver a message, personally.
07:02I can't imagine what's wrong.
07:04Maybe we should come back another day.
07:06Oh, no you don't.
07:07You got me here, and here I'll stay.
07:09Besides, I like the scenery.
07:11It'll cost you.
07:12It'll cost me anyway.
07:13I might as well enjoy it.
07:15Oh, Madam.
07:16Oh, Madam, Madam.
07:17Please forgive her.
07:18Oh, it was nothing at all.
07:20Now we see the gowns?
07:22Yes?
07:23No?
07:24Now we see the gowns.
07:25Yes.
07:26I began to wonder if bringing you was a good idea.
07:29Cynthia, please, please.
07:31And wait till you see this.
07:33This gown is for you.
07:35Just for you.
07:37Just for you.
07:38Just for you.
07:40Just for you.
08:07Homicide?
08:08Quiet, Bacon.
08:09Yeah, the medical examiner just left.
08:11Yes, it's murder, all right.
08:14Uh-huh.
08:15Stab in the back with a pair of dressmaker shears.
08:19Uh-huh.
08:20OK.
08:22Well, looks like I'm going to enjoy this investigation.
08:26The body to be investigated is over there, Lieutenant.
08:29Yes, so it is.
08:30So it is.
08:32And who are you?
08:33Jerry North is the name.
08:34And I'm his wife.
08:36My husband and I were here buying a dress.
08:38Yeah, but it looks like you bought a murder instead, huh?
08:41You lock all the doors like I told you?
08:43Yes, immediately.
08:45Right after...
08:46That means then that the murderer is still in the joint.
08:50May I use your phone, please?
08:51Of course.
08:53Look, who said you could use the phone?
08:54I just want to call my office.
08:56I'll do all the calling around here, mister.
08:58And nobody goes in or out unless I say so, huh?
09:02Give me the keys.
09:03OK.
09:04Don't take a finger with it.
09:06Excuse me.
09:07Excuse me.
09:08Madam.
09:14You.
09:15You stay with the victim.
09:17Oh, no.
09:18No, no.
09:19Please don't ask me.
09:20I can't look at death.
09:21It happens every day.
09:23You just have to get used to it, that's all.
09:26Well, go ahead.
09:29The rest of you, come with me.
09:55Well, I'm beginning to like this more and more.
10:04And who might you be, sir?
10:06Oh, I just happened to stop by.
10:09Oh, you just happened to stop by, huh?
10:11You know this character?
10:12Yes.
10:13He is...
10:14That is, he is a good friend of the girl.
10:16He was.
10:17I don't like the implication of that remark, Madam Susie.
10:20Now, look, mister.
10:22I don't care what you like or you don't like.
10:24Somebody stuck these shears in a girl's back.
10:26And for all I know, you might have done it.
10:28How dare you accuse me?
10:30Look, mister.
10:31Just answer the questions, okay?
10:34Okay.
10:37My name is Arthur Linden.
10:39Of Linden and Conway, brokers.
10:41I was taking a friendly interest in Miss Martin.
10:44He was hanging around here all the time, Lieutenant.
10:46When they weren't fighting, they were making up.
10:48They had a big fight yesterday.
10:50He threatened her.
10:51Oh, he did, did he?
10:54Anyone else hear him?
10:56I did.
10:57Mr. Linden wasn't anywhere near Cynthia.
11:02Well, hello.
11:04Hello.
11:05I'm Ronnie Slauson, Cynthia's roommate.
11:08I helped her get this job here and we shared everything together.
11:12Clothes and money.
11:14And Mr. Linden.
11:16Why, you...
11:17Well, break it up, girls.
11:18Don't talk to me like that.
11:19I've had just about enough.
11:21Why, there's no sympathy, no feeling in any of you.
11:25Cynthia was close to me, a friend.
11:28Part of my everyday life.
11:31Now she's gone.
11:32But what does that mean to you?
11:34Or you?
11:38I understand how you feel.
11:39I want to be your friend.
11:43But what will I do when I go home?
11:47I'll see her clothes.
11:49And hear her voice.
11:51And feel her as she passes through the rooms.
11:54Oh, no, I can't face it.
11:56Oh, no, I can't face it.
11:58You come and stay with us tonight.
12:00You mustn't be alone.
12:02It'll be the first use we've had of the guest room.
12:05Now, I won't take no for an answer.
12:07And Jerry and I will go and get you a thing so you won't even have to go to your apartment.
12:12All right.
12:14I'll get you the key to the apartment.
12:21Lieutenant.
12:22There was someone here.
12:24Someone who isn't here now.
12:26I thought I told you to lock all the doors.
12:29He was here before Cynthia was killed.
12:31I told him to get out.
12:33How do you know he did?
12:34How do you know he didn't hang around and knock her off?
12:37How do you know you didn't let the killer get away?
12:40I've got a good mind to lock up every one of you.
12:43As accessories to the fact.
12:46That's what I love about buying a dress at Suzy's.
12:49You meet such interesting people.
12:51Shut up.
12:54Yes, sir.
12:57Now, what have you got to say for yourself, huh?
13:24I love you.
13:25I love you.
13:26I love you.
13:27I love you.
13:28I love you.
13:29I love you.
13:30I love you.
13:31I love you.
13:32I love you.
13:33I love you.
13:34I love you.
13:35I love you.
13:36I love you.
13:37I love you.
13:38I love you.
13:39I love you.
13:40I love you.
13:41I love you.
13:42I love you.
13:43I love you.
13:44I love you.
13:45I love you.
13:46I love you.
13:47I love you.
13:48I love you.
13:49I love you.
13:50I love you.
13:51I love you.
13:52I love you.
13:53I love you.
13:54I love you.
13:55I love you.
13:56I love you.
13:57I love you.
13:58I love you.
13:59I love you.
14:00I love you.
14:01I love you.

14:04I love you.
14:05I love you.
14:06I love you.

14:17I love you.
14:18I love you.
14:19I love you.
14:20I love you.
14:21I love you.
14:23What a mess!
14:24How untidy can two girls be?!
14:29Oh, it's funny!
14:35Darling, would you mind telling me what you're looking for?
14:38I don't know.
14:47It's a good thing you don't know what you're looking for.
14:49Because when you find something, it's always a surprise.
14:51And sometimes it leads to defeat.
14:59Well, of course, I don't like to disagree with you,
15:01but if you really don't know what you're looking for, I suggest...
15:06No!
15:10Hey, stop!
15:17Hey, what's going on here?
15:19Nothing at all, officer, nothing, I...
15:22Wait a minute, there is something wrong.
15:24Yeah, that's what I thought.
15:25I thought I heard a couple of shots.
15:27So did I.
15:28Where do you suppose they came from?
15:30Well, as long as we're supposing.
15:32Maybe they came from this gun.
15:34Come on, let's get out of here.
15:38Well, that's that.
15:40Whoever it was, the cops got him.
15:42Now let's get out of here.
15:44Not until I've packed a few things first.
15:46Better pack a bulletproof vest, too.
15:48I don't see why you get so upset over a little shooting.
15:50Nobody was hurt.
15:51I don't like it, I don't like anything about it.
15:53Oh, poo.
15:54Isn't this cute?
15:55Oh, Pam, you're the only woman in the world
15:57who can get shot at one minute and the next try on hats.
16:00Now come on, before I carry you out bodily.
16:02Wait a minute, what's this?
16:04Oh, isn't it cute?
16:05That's the smallest camera I've ever seen.
16:08Jerry, that's how they did it.
16:10Did what?
16:11Stole the designs.
16:12What designs?
16:13Susie told me that someone was stealing her exclusive styles
16:16and she didn't know how it was being done.
16:18You mean Cynthia was mixed up with a gang of fashion thieves?
16:21I'm sure of it.
16:22Find the person to whom she gave the negatives
16:24and you find the killer.
16:25Okay, but we'll take this camera to McGuire first.
16:30Getting me down here in the middle of the night,
16:32asking me a lot of foolish questions.
16:36You ever see this before?
16:38I don't even know what it is.
16:40It's a camera.
16:41It was found in the dead girl's things.
16:44A camera.
16:47Can I?
16:48That's how they did it.
16:50That's how they robbed me.
16:52Then I give you a good motive for murder.
16:55Oh, don't be foolish.
16:57You do not think I murder.
16:59Oh, but I have a bad temper and I've seen the thieves.
17:02Now look, take it easy, will you lady?
17:04First I am robbed and you insult me.
17:07Put you.
17:10Yeah?
17:11Come in here with a suspect.
17:12Okay, bring him in.
17:14We picked up a guy I'd like you to identify.
17:19Well?
17:20We touched a man that was in the dressing room before the killing.
17:23Okay, Foster.
17:24Now mister, we'll get your story.
17:27There ain't no story.
17:28Sit down.
17:32How well did you know the murdered girl?
17:34All I know is she was working for us.
17:36Who's us?
17:37I don't know.
17:38She got the films, I got the negatives,
17:40had them developed, turned him over to a guy and he paid me off.
17:43What guy?
17:44Where'd you meet him?
17:45I don't know.
17:46I never knew his name.
17:47Met me in a different place every time.
17:49That's all I know.
17:50I swear it.
17:51Why, you dirty, rotten thief.
17:53I'll kill you.
17:54Wait a minute, lady.
17:55Sit down.
17:56Sit down, both of you.
17:57Here, give me that.
17:58So you don't know the girl and you don't know the man who ran the racket, huh?
18:01Sure.
18:02I know this much about the girl.
18:03She was trying to shake us down for more dough.
18:06Well, my contact told me to put a scare into her.
18:08That's how I happened to be in the dressing room.
18:10But he never said anything about murder.
18:12Well, after I heard that she'd been bumped off,
18:15I knew the cops were going to close in on her,
18:17so I went up to her apartment to see if I could find anything that would tie her in with me.
18:21That's all I know about the girl.
18:23Are you satisfied?
18:25All right.
18:26Foster, come here.
18:28Mister, I'm going to lock you up.
18:30Give you a chance to think.
18:31You're a slow thinker.
18:32You may be in there for years.
18:34Now, wait a minute.
18:35I know nothing.
18:36I have nothing to do with this.
18:40This could go on forever.
18:41I have business to attend to.
18:43So have I.
18:44Say, you were pretty handy with this letter opener a minute ago.
18:48You certainly ought to be able to handle a pair of shears.
18:50Why, you're not insinuating that I...
18:52Why not?
18:53Why, you'll be sorry for this.
18:55I'll go to the commissioner.
18:57I'll go to the mayor.
18:58You won't go anyplace.
19:01You know, Ronnie, it's awfully sweet of you to help me alter this old thing.
19:05Oh, I love doing it.
19:06It's the least I can do for your kindness to me.
19:09I couldn't have stood being in that apartment alone.
19:13Oh, did I tell you that we found a little camera among Cynthia's things?
19:16Camera?
19:18Oh, I didn't know she had any hobbies.
19:21Oh, she did.
19:22A very profitable one.
19:24Cynthia was working with a gang of fashion thieves.
19:26It's quite a racket.
19:28There are millions in it.
19:29I can't believe it.
19:31She seemed like such a sweet, innocent girl.
19:34What did you two fight about?
19:36Oh, that.
19:37It was nothing.
19:38I'd been going out with Arthur Lyndon for a long time,
19:40and she had ideas she could cut me out.
19:42You know how girls are.
19:46Oh, I must get some thread for this hem.
20:05Here it is.
20:08Oh, but it doesn't match.
20:10Oh, well, we've worked long enough tonight.
20:13I'm getting sleepy anyhow, aren't you?
20:16Yes, it's been quite a day.
20:19Will Mr. North be out late?
20:22Yes, he's at a publisher's dinner.
20:24I never know what time he'll come in when he's out with the boys.
20:27Oh, I'm sure he won't be late.
20:30He's at a publisher's dinner.
20:32I never know what time he'll come in when he's out with the boys.
20:35Well, good night.
20:36You know where your room is.
20:37Sleep tight.
20:38You too, Mrs. North.
20:39Well, call me Pam.
20:41Thank you, Pam.
20:42Good night.
21:00Good night.
21:30Good night.
21:57Can I help?
22:01Open this door.
22:04Ronnie, you were the one in the fashion racket, not Cynthia.
22:07And you killed her.
22:09I said open that door, Mrs. North.
22:13I found the camera in your hat box.
22:15You know that now, don't you?
22:16And that's why you're trying to get out of here.
22:20You're a very good actress, Ronnie.
22:22Your hysteria over Cynthia and your fear of the apartment were very convincing.
22:26If you don't open that door, there's only one thing left for me to do.
22:31Ronnie, put those scissors down.
22:33Ronnie.
22:34Ronnie, this is crazy.
22:36Ronnie.
22:37Ronnie.
22:41You're crazy.
22:42I'll kill you.
22:43I'll kill you.
22:46Ronnie.
22:49He's crazy.
22:55Oh.
23:02All right, I'm through.
23:07But I'm glad.
23:10That sounds funny, doesn't it?
23:12But it's not.
23:14It's like standing under a shower after a hot, dirty day.
23:21I got tangled into the racket of photographing Madam Susie's originals.
23:26I liked originals, too.
23:29In dollar bills.
23:32I only used Cynthia to deliver the film to the buyer.
23:36But then I thought she started to get wise.
23:39And I was afraid of her taking the deal away from me.
23:45You'll know the rest.
24:11Jerry.
24:12Yes, dear?
24:14Well, look at me.
24:16Yes, dear.
24:18Well, do you like it?
24:20Since the first day I saw you.
24:23But there's something different.
24:25What, the hair?
24:27No.
24:28No?
24:30New shoes?
24:32No.
24:34The dress.
24:35Yes.
24:38It isn't paid for.
24:41How much was it?
24:44$29.95.
24:47Sold!
