Mr. and Mrs. North (TV-1954) THE QUICK AND THE DEADLY
Step Back in Time with "Mr. and Mrs. North": Uncovering "The Quick and the Deadly"
The 1950s were a golden era for television, a time when the medium was still in its infancy, yet bursting with creativity and innovation. Among the gems of this period was the sophisticated and witty series "Mr. and Mrs. North." Starring Richard Denning and Barbara Britton, the show followed a married couple living in New York City who, with a mix of charm and intelligence, solved crimes that often left the police baffled.
One standout episode from this series is "The Quick and the Deadly," which first aired on January 26, 1954. The plot revolves around the theft of secret government documents, a common trope in the spy thrillers of the time. The Norths, ever the intrepid detectives, find themselves embroiled in the investigation after the thief, despite being caught, manages to dispose of the documents to his accomplice. The chase that ensues is as much about wits as it is about speed, hence the episode's title.
What makes "Mr. and Mrs. North" particularly delightful is the chemistry between the leads. Denning's Jerry North is the perfect foil to Britton's Pamela North, whose knack for stumbling upon mysteries is matched only by her husband's slightly more pragmatic approach to solving them. The episode "The Quick and the Deadly" showcases this dynamic beautifully, with the couple navigating the twists and turns of the case with a blend of humor and suspense.
For fans of classic TV, "The Quick and the Deadly" is a must-watch. It captures the essence of a time when storytelling was driven by sharp dialogue and charismatic characters. The episode is a reminder of the enduring appeal of Mr. and Mrs. North, a series that, despite the passage of time, continues to entertain and intrigue audiences with its clever plots and timeless charm.
So, if you're in the mood for a nostalgic trip down memory lane, why not revisit "The Quick and the Deadly"? It's a snapshot of 1950s television at its best, a testament to the enduring legacy of "Mr. and Mrs. North," and a thrilling ride from start to finish. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to the series, this episode is sure to captivate with its quick wit and deadly stakes. Dive into the adventure and enjoy the thrill of the chase!

16:22Ladies and gentlemen from the train, this is Dr. David Ennis of the United States Public Health Service and his assistant Dr. Huntley.
16:30They've come to see us about your disappearing friend. How do you do? Public Health Service?
16:36Doctors? Oh, wait a minute. Now I know what I've been trying to remember. The Paris Exposition.
16:42What on earth? I think I understand. Yes, I too remember the legend of the vanishing lady at the Paris Exposition.
16:50Well, that's the story I've been trying to remember. You do understand now. You mean...
16:56You mean that girl on the train had the bubonic plague? Oh, no. Yes. We were fortunate to catch it at a very early stage and to isolate her before everyone on the train was exposed.
17:06Oh, my goodness. This young lady is now in a hospital and her chances for recovery are really quite good.
17:12Mrs. North, there's no reason for you to be alarmed, despite the fact that you were the only person on the train directly exposed.
17:20A nurse will be here within the hour with proper inoculations. You have nothing to fear.
17:26That's a relief. I want you both to go into the bedroom and undress. Undress?
17:31I must have everything you had with you on the train tonight. Everything.
17:35It's really quite simple. We'll have all your things decontaminated and returned to you intact by tomorrow morning at the latest.
17:42I see. Is all this really necessary? It's a routine precaution, but a very important one.
17:48I would say the sooner the better, Mr. North. Well, in that case, you'll just make yourselves comfortable. Come on, Darling.
18:05I don't like to hurry, Mrs. North. Oh, sure. I'll see what I can do.
18:32Thank you. Are your things ready, Pam? Jerry, there's something I want...
18:40Later, Darling. They're waiting, and the sooner they take this stuff, the sooner we'll get it back.
18:44But I'm not sure... This is everything, isn't it?
18:47But Jerry!
18:59Information? Will you please give me the telephone number of the United States Public Health Service?
19:07Now, you will be careful with that manuscript, won't you? We'll get it back to you in tip-top shape, Mr. North.
19:12Good night, and thanks for your cooperation. Thank you. Good night. Good night.
19:31Are they gone? Yeah. This is the first chance I've had to relax all day. How am I ready to fall apart?
19:38Pull yourself together. Those doctors were fakers. I mean, those fakers weren't doctors.
19:43What? Oh, what I'm trying to say is they're not from the public health department. I just checked.
19:46But who? What were they looking for? What did they want?
19:50This. I found it in my handbag. That's the last place I'd expect to find a lipstick.
19:55Oh, I'm serious, Jerry. Take the lid off. There's microfilm in it.
20:01Microfilm. That's what those two fakers were after.
20:04Unless you want to believe this is something new and old clothes drives.
20:07Yeah, but how did you get this? That girl on the train.
20:10She must have dropped it into my handbag. At least those two men think she did.
20:14Oh, Jerry, that girl was on the train. Do you suppose they could have killed her?
20:19I don't know, but I think we ought to find out.
20:24What are you going to do? I'm going to call Bill Wagon.
20:31Lieutenant Wagon, please. Jerry North calling. I'll go get dressed.
20:34No, stick around a minute. Bill, listen, can you meet us at Penn Station?
20:40No. No, I want you to check compartment number...
20:44Compartment number seven, car 1074, Capital Clipper.
20:48You got that? Yeah, that's right.
20:50Look, Pam thinks the girl who occupied that compartment may have been murdered.
20:54No, no, I think she's right this time.
20:57Look, Bill, we'll meet you there and tell you the whole story, okay?
21:00Right.
21:12Compartment seven, car 1074, the Capital Clipper.
21:15This is it.
21:21All right, check that.
21:31Give me the passkey.
21:39Better than yesterday's newspaper, all right.
21:42How Pam North does it, I'll never know.
21:45Look, you take over the fort and don't touch anything.
21:48I've got to get to the nearest phone.
21:52I'll probably never see those galley proofs again.
21:56And after all that work... Don't forget about your old galley proofs.
21:59The important thing is... Bet you don't make any noise, Mrs. North.
22:02Inside, quickly.
22:07Get over there.
22:12Move, Mrs. North. You too, North.
22:22I'll make it brief, Mrs. North.
22:25One woman has already died because she wouldn't produce that roll of microfilm we want.
22:28You understand?
22:31Yes. Good. Then give me the film.
22:34I don't have it. You're wasting my time, Mrs. North.
22:37We know you were the only person on that train Andrea contacted.
22:40You're too foolish to be a spy.
22:43And we didn't find the film among your effects, so you must have it.
22:46Get over there, away from your husband.
22:52Stand still, Mr. North.
22:55Or I'll kill your wife.
22:58Eric, the purse.
23:03Watch him.
23:09Nothing.
23:15Let it ring.
23:21So...
23:24I'm going to persuade you to speak, Mrs. North.
23:27And I'm very persuasive.
23:30Don't touch her.
23:33If you move again, Mr. North, Eric will shoot you.
23:36Essentially, I'm not a barbaric man, Mrs. North.
23:39But that roll of film means a great deal to my government.
23:42So we'll just see what Eric can do.
23:45I'm not a barbaric man, Mrs. North.
23:48But that roll of film means a great deal to my government.
23:51So we'll just see what price you and your husband put upon your government secrets.
24:16All right.
24:19Get over there with your friend, Dennis.
24:22Jerry, you were wonderful.
24:25It's nothing, darling.
24:28Nothing any red-blooded American boy couldn't do.
24:39Jerry.
24:42Jerry, can't we put the senator to bed for tonight?
24:45Hmm.
24:50Good night, my red-blooded American boy.
24:53Say something?
25:12This has been a film presentation.
