And my name, darling, is Lula Bankhead.

00:34.320 --> 00:37.840
The National Broadcasting Company presents The Big Show.

00:37.840 --> 00:51.440
The Big Show.

00:51.440 --> 00:55.040
Ninety minutes with the most scintillating personalities in the entertainment world.

00:55.040 --> 01:00.400
Brought to you this Sunday and every Sunday at the same time as the Sunday feature of Five Show Festival.

01:00.400 --> 01:04.400
NBC's star-studded five night a week program extravaganza.

01:04.400 --> 01:09.200
Tonight's Big Show is presenting such top-light stars as Fanny Bright, Raucho Marx,

01:09.200 --> 01:15.920
Isio Pisa, Jane Powell, Hanley Stafford, David Bryan, John Agar, Frank Lovejoy, and Meredith Wilson.

01:15.920 --> 01:35.200
And here is your hostess, the glamorous, unpredictable, Lula Bankhead.

01:35.200 --> 01:40.080
Well, we're back again this week with the second of our series of star-studded programs.

01:40.080 --> 01:41.120
Last week, New York.

01:41.120 --> 01:42.480
This week, Hollywood.

01:42.480 --> 01:46.640
I just want to say one thing about our last Big Show and then we'll forget about it.

01:46.640 --> 01:49.840
We loved your letters and we'd like to have you continue writing us.

01:49.840 --> 01:54.480
I am most grateful for the comments of the press and public, and I want to say in all humility

01:54.480 --> 01:59.600
that I couldn't possibly have lived up to the notices if I hadn't, if it hadn't been for my material.

01:59.600 --> 02:03.520
Patti Carnegie made me a gorgeous gown with the finest material she could find.

02:05.360 --> 02:09.440
As for the comments of some of my friends who thought I was nervous on the first show,

02:09.440 --> 02:12.480
well, I want to say that I wasn't the lit beast nervous.

02:15.280 --> 02:18.320
Well, I was as coom and as Carl as I am now.

02:19.840 --> 02:21.520
Well, so much for the first show.

02:21.520 --> 02:26.080
You've just heard the names of the stars on this week's show and you think that all there is,

02:26.080 --> 02:26.720
sweetheart.

02:27.440 --> 02:28.400
I fooled you, didn't I?

02:30.000 --> 02:31.360
You thought I was going to say darling.

02:32.720 --> 02:34.800
Well, just listen to this lineup next week.

02:34.800 --> 02:40.080
Bob Hope, Jimmy Durante, Eddie Cantor, Jose Ferrer, Perry Como, Mindy Carson,

02:40.080 --> 02:42.080
nothing but the cream of show business.

02:42.080 --> 02:44.560
That's NBC, nothing but cream.

02:45.840 --> 02:49.600
I guess you think we're aiming rather high, but we always try to hit our marks.

02:50.160 --> 02:51.360
Groucho Marx, that's me.

02:57.680 --> 02:59.280
Yeah, look who's here.

02:59.280 --> 03:00.640
Hello, who are you?

03:00.640 --> 03:01.600
Groucho Marx.

03:01.600 --> 03:02.480
You're Groucho Marx?

03:02.480 --> 03:06.240
Oh, it's the artist Groucho Marx.

03:06.240 --> 03:07.920
Oh, come now, I'm not Groucho.

03:07.920 --> 03:09.520
You know who I am, don't you?

03:09.520 --> 03:10.640
I'll take a wild guess.

03:10.640 --> 03:11.140
Chico?

03:13.360 --> 03:14.560
No, sweetheart.

03:14.560 --> 03:15.200
Oppo?

03:15.200 --> 03:15.920
No, darling.

03:16.640 --> 03:17.520
Am I warm?

03:17.520 --> 03:18.320
No, darling.

03:19.200 --> 03:21.680
You know, I've had that same complaint lately from all women.

03:25.520 --> 03:27.520
My name is Tallulah.

03:27.520 --> 03:29.120
A phony name, have I ever heard of it?

03:29.120 --> 03:33.600
Tallulah Bankhead Groucho.

03:33.600 --> 03:35.360
Oh, Tallulah Bankhead Groucho.

03:37.200 --> 03:38.560
No, you tickle me.

03:39.840 --> 03:41.360
That's a date, what are you doing after the show?

03:44.880 --> 03:46.240
I have a dinner engagement.

03:46.240 --> 03:47.920
You believe in short engagements?

03:47.920 --> 03:49.760
I have an appointment after the show.

03:49.760 --> 03:50.960
What are you doing during the show?

03:51.920 --> 03:53.760
I'm pretty busy during this show, my pet.

03:53.760 --> 03:55.920
This is an hour and a half program, you know.

03:55.920 --> 03:57.360
An hour and a half, uh-huh.

03:57.360 --> 03:57.860
Hmm.

03:58.720 --> 04:00.320
That's a rather odd figure, isn't it?

04:01.920 --> 04:04.080
Speaking of odd figures, what are you doing after the show?

04:07.440 --> 04:09.840
Well, darling, I'm having a man for dinner.

04:09.840 --> 04:10.640
That's the main course.

04:10.640 --> 04:11.520
What are you having for dinner?

04:16.000 --> 04:17.520
Well, we're going to Searow's for dinner.

04:17.520 --> 04:19.120
We're having pheasants under glass.

04:19.840 --> 04:21.840
You wouldn't consider a pheasant under glasses, then.

04:23.520 --> 04:24.640
Now look here, my sweet.

04:24.640 --> 04:26.320
I'm getting a little bit fed up.

04:26.320 --> 04:27.680
And you haven't eaten that dinner yet.

04:28.720 --> 04:29.760
Oh, what for you?

04:29.760 --> 04:31.120
You're incorrigible.

04:31.120 --> 04:32.400
I'll accept that, but who are you?

04:33.760 --> 04:37.440
I'm a fan of your drachos, and I've always adored you.

04:37.440 --> 04:38.320
How can you say that?

04:38.320 --> 04:39.600
We haven't eaten banal together.

04:40.160 --> 04:41.360
So what are you doing after the show?

04:42.240 --> 04:43.360
I told you I'm busy.

04:43.920 --> 04:45.360
How about before the show?

04:45.360 --> 04:47.040
Before the show, I had a malt with milk.

04:47.760 --> 04:48.720
You mind if I join you?

04:49.760 --> 04:51.680
I'm trying to tell you as gently as I can.

04:51.680 --> 04:55.280
I can't see you before, during, or after the show.

04:55.280 --> 04:56.720
Well, now that you've given me the brush,

04:56.720 --> 04:58.880
how about you and me going out and painting the town red?

05:03.440 --> 05:06.000
And you're just the one to do it, aren't you, Carl?

05:08.960 --> 05:10.400
Carl, I'm Groucho Mars.

05:12.800 --> 05:15.840
And now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go on with the show.

05:15.840 --> 05:16.560
Go right ahead.

05:16.560 --> 05:19.680
Ladies and gentlemen, we have so many stars on our program.

05:19.680 --> 05:20.180
Tallulah.

05:20.180 --> 05:24.340
I used to know a Pullman car named Tallulah.

05:28.500 --> 05:31.620
Ladies and gentlemen, we have so many stars on our program.

05:31.620 --> 05:32.740
You've had quite a caboose.

05:36.820 --> 05:38.020
Ladies and gentlemen.

05:38.020 --> 05:39.220
Tallulah, indeed.

05:39.220 --> 05:41.300
We have so many stars on our program.

05:41.300 --> 05:42.980
Obviously, this woman is an imposter.

05:44.180 --> 05:46.980
Ladies and gentlemen, we have so many stars on our program.

05:46.980 --> 05:48.180
Who sponsors this program?

05:48.180 --> 05:49.300
We have no sponsor.

05:49.300 --> 05:50.100
Ladies and gentlemen.

05:50.100 --> 05:51.300
No sponsor?

05:51.300 --> 05:54.100
No, we're sustaining, ladies and gentlemen.

05:54.100 --> 05:56.180
How can you sustain yourself without a sponsor?

05:56.820 --> 05:58.500
We have so many stars on this show.

05:58.500 --> 05:59.220
No sponsor?

05:59.220 --> 06:00.340
What do my friends think?

06:01.300 --> 06:02.180
Ladies and gentlemen.

06:02.180 --> 06:03.060
I had any friends.

06:03.060 --> 06:04.500
Ladies and gentlemen.

06:04.500 --> 06:05.220
If they could think.

06:07.140 --> 06:09.620
Ladies and gentlemen, we have so many stars on our program.

06:09.620 --> 06:11.380
How can they afford it without a sponsor?

06:11.380 --> 06:19.620
I'll bet the rent here alone must be about $85 a month.

06:19.620 --> 06:20.900
Ladies and gentlemen, please.

06:20.900 --> 06:22.340
Oh, I mean, Broucho, please.

06:22.900 --> 06:27.780
How can a big hour and a half program like this go with all these big stars go on without a sponsor?

06:27.780 --> 06:28.740
We'll give it some class.

06:28.740 --> 06:31.780
We'll have it sponsored by the Plebo Company.

06:31.780 --> 06:33.860
But Broucho, what is the Plebo Company?

06:33.860 --> 06:34.420
Who cares?

06:34.420 --> 06:35.860
There must be a company named Plebo.

06:36.820 --> 06:38.420
And if there is, we'll send them a bill for it.

06:38.420 --> 06:42.100
Now, who were you trying to introduce?

06:42.100 --> 06:43.940
Meredith Wilson and his orchestra.

06:43.940 --> 06:44.820
Okay, commercial.

06:45.620 --> 06:50.260
Ladies and gentlemen, Meredith Wilson and his orchestra are brought to you by the Plebo Company.

06:50.900 --> 06:53.300
America's foremost manufacturers.

06:53.300 --> 06:56.340
The Plebo Company has been manufacturing foremost for years.

07:00.740 --> 07:04.980
Try a foremost, or better still, try the large economy size, the five most.

07:04.980 --> 07:07.460
Remember, when using foremost, use caution.

07:08.100 --> 07:10.500
Caution comes in six delicious places.

07:12.580 --> 07:15.540
So ladies, if foremost persists, see your doctor.

07:16.500 --> 07:18.500
If your doctor persists, use caution.

07:24.100 --> 07:26.980
And now, Meredith Wilson's orchestra plays Stardust.

07:26.980 --> 07:28.740
And I want to talk to you, darling.

07:28.740 --> 07:35.540
I remember you were one of the Four Mills brothers.

09:58.740 --> 10:17.540
Oh, I dream in vain.

10:17.540 --> 10:24.820
In my heart it will remain.

10:24.820 --> 10:30.180
My stardust memory.

10:30.180 --> 10:58.020
The memory of long regret.

10:58.020 --> 11:00.580
That sheath arm music of yours was delightful.

11:00.580 --> 11:04.340
You have just heard Meredith Wilson and his orchestra brought to you by the Plebo Company.

11:05.220 --> 11:07.060
So buy a box of Plebo today.

11:07.780 --> 11:11.380
And if you are not satisfied, return the unused portion of the product,

11:11.380 --> 11:14.580
and the Plebo Company will return the unused portion of your money.

11:19.220 --> 11:21.700
If you live in Canada, say hello to Papa Dion.

11:24.100 --> 11:27.220
And now we interrupt this commercial to bring you the rest of the show.

11:27.220 --> 11:29.620
Meredith, you were as usual a divine.

11:29.620 --> 11:30.260
Well, thank you.

11:30.820 --> 11:33.300
You know, Miss Bankett, I was thinking all through that number

11:33.300 --> 11:35.780
about the first time I ever saw Groucho Marx.

11:35.780 --> 11:37.460
It was 20 years ago.

11:37.460 --> 11:38.820
Now let's keep it that way, shall we?

11:41.220 --> 11:46.180
Well, I guess you've forgotten, Mr. Marx, but it was back in Mason City, Iowa, my hometown.

11:46.180 --> 11:47.860
You and your brothers played there one night.

11:47.860 --> 11:49.460
You remember the Village Square?

11:49.460 --> 11:57.860
Was that you?

11:57.860 --> 11:59.700
Well, I'm glad to see you again there.

12:01.460 --> 12:03.860
Meredith, sweet, we have a big show to do here.

12:03.860 --> 12:06.740
Well, I just wanted to tell Mr. Marx about a funny thing that happened

12:06.740 --> 12:08.660
when Mr. Marx played there that night.

12:08.660 --> 12:10.820
I went to see him with my girl.

12:10.820 --> 12:12.020
I was never with your girl.

12:12.020 --> 12:13.380
I must have been a harpoon.

12:13.380 --> 12:14.820
No, you don't understand.

12:14.820 --> 12:16.340
I was with my girl.

12:16.340 --> 12:17.940
And I was with harpoon?

12:17.940 --> 12:21.060
No, you don't understand. I came to see your show with my girl.

12:21.620 --> 12:23.060
Your girl was in my show?

12:23.860 --> 12:27.620
Groucho, will you please let him get on with that nauseating little story?

12:35.460 --> 12:39.700
Thank you, Miss Bankett, because a very funny thing happened that night

12:39.700 --> 12:41.460
when I came to the show with my girl.

12:41.460 --> 12:42.580
Her name was Rene.

12:42.580 --> 12:44.420
She later became Mrs. Wilson.

12:44.420 --> 12:45.300
That's very funny.

12:45.300 --> 12:47.780
Groucho, there's nothing funny about it and you know it.

12:47.780 --> 12:50.260
I know it and you know it, but does he know it?

12:51.700 --> 12:54.420
If you think that's funny, why don't I get to the funny part?

12:54.420 --> 12:56.420
You'll notify us when you get to it, won't you?

12:56.420 --> 12:58.420
A postcard will do.

12:58.420 --> 12:59.540
A postcard?

12:59.540 --> 13:00.820
I'm sure you will.

13:00.820 --> 13:05.620
Well, we got to the theater and no sooner had we got seated when Rene,

13:05.620 --> 13:10.420
she later became Mrs. Wilson, she asked me to get her a box of confections.

13:11.060 --> 13:13.940
So I went out to the lobby to get her a box of confections.

13:13.940 --> 13:16.260
I went out to the lobby to get it and when I got back,

13:16.260 --> 13:20.420
some other man was sitting in my seat next to Rene, who later became Mrs. Wilson.

13:21.380 --> 13:24.340
I said to him, I said, I believe you're sitting in the wrong place.

13:24.340 --> 13:27.860
And he looked at his ticket stub and sure enough, he was sitting in the wrong seat.

13:27.860 --> 13:31.940
He had the third seat in row G and I had the third seat in row E.

13:32.980 --> 13:33.860
Isn't that interesting?

13:33.860 --> 13:39.460
You know, Mrs. Wilson and I often have a good laugh about this when we think of it.

13:43.460 --> 13:45.460
Your witness, Tallulah.

13:46.260 --> 13:51.460
Meredith, I'm sure it's quite all right for you and Mrs. Wilson to enjoy these riotous loves

13:53.140 --> 13:55.140
in the sanctity of your own home.

13:55.140 --> 13:58.740
But we have a distinguished cast of actors ready to go on stage with you.

13:58.740 --> 14:00.740
And I'm sure you'll be very happy to see them.

14:00.740 --> 14:05.300
But we have a distinguished cast of actors ready to go on with an exciting excerpt

14:05.300 --> 14:07.460
from the new Warner picture, Breakthrough.

14:07.460 --> 14:10.020
And to bring it to you, we have the stars of the picture,

14:10.020 --> 14:12.660
David Brown, John Agar and Frank Lovejoy.

14:12.660 --> 14:15.060
Wait a minute, you can't have a cast like that sustaining?

14:15.060 --> 14:16.260
No, no, not again.

14:16.260 --> 14:16.760
Commissar.

14:18.740 --> 14:21.460
This program is brought to you by the Plebo Company,

14:22.500 --> 14:24.820
makers of that famous after dinner motor oil.

14:24.820 --> 14:29.140
50 years ago today, the Plebo Company opened its doors to the public.

14:29.140 --> 14:33.140
And today, just as it was 50 years ago, is November 12th.

14:36.020 --> 14:38.020
Plebo will save you efficiently.

14:38.020 --> 14:40.020
It'll save you promptly.

14:40.020 --> 14:41.060
Try Plebo.

14:41.060 --> 14:43.060
It'll save you right.

14:50.420 --> 14:53.540
Yesterday was November the 11th, Armistice Day.

14:53.540 --> 14:58.340
Today, lest we forget, may the same thoughts and memories be with us.

14:58.340 --> 15:03.380
For the story of World War II, the story of all history, is the story of men.

15:03.380 --> 15:05.380
You knew the men.

15:05.380 --> 15:08.340
They came from your family, your street, your town.

15:08.340 --> 15:11.300
Warner Brothers and their new film, Breakthrough,

15:11.300 --> 15:15.300
have brought to the screen with great power a portrait of men at war.

15:15.300 --> 15:21.220
Here are David Brown as Captain Hale, John Agar as young Lieutenant Joe Mallory

15:21.220 --> 15:24.020
and Frank Lovejoy as Sergeant Bell.

15:48.020 --> 15:49.140
My name is Bell.

15:49.140 --> 15:51.380
Our unit was in England training.

15:51.380 --> 15:55.380
We know the Big Bush was coming somewhere, sometime.

15:55.380 --> 15:57.780
But in the middle of the big war, there was a little war,

15:57.780 --> 16:02.180
a war of nerves between Captain Hale and Shavetail Lieutenant Joe Mallory.

16:04.980 --> 16:06.980
Lieutenant Mallory reporting, sir.

16:06.980 --> 16:12.180
Well, l suppose you think you're a hero for saving Finley's life today in battle practice.

16:12.180 --> 16:15.140
l know l should have used the red flare for cease-firing, sir.

16:15.140 --> 16:18.740
But l saw Finley lying there and l knew the Bangalore torpedo was a big deal.

16:18.740 --> 16:20.500
The torpedo was about to go off and...

16:20.500 --> 16:22.100
Knock it off, Mallory.

16:22.100 --> 16:23.300
Yes, sir.

16:23.300 --> 16:25.140
One guy.

16:25.140 --> 16:29.380
For one guy, you risk the lives of every other man on the platoon.

16:29.380 --> 16:33.620
You were supposed to shoot the red flare to stop the covering fire.

16:33.620 --> 16:36.500
lf Sergeant Bell hadn't used the red flare,

16:36.500 --> 16:37.940
if he hadn't more sense than you've got,

16:37.940 --> 16:41.780
every guy would have stood up and been gut-shot by their own machine gun.

16:41.780 --> 16:44.180
Had you thought of that, Lieutenant Mallory?

16:44.180 --> 16:45.060
Yes, sir, but Captain...

16:45.060 --> 16:47.460
You're at attention, Mallory.

16:47.460 --> 16:49.380
Oh, you look great on paper.

16:49.380 --> 16:50.980
Great.

16:50.980 --> 16:53.380
But not when the chips are down.

16:53.380 --> 16:56.660
l ought to reclassify you and send you back where you came from.

16:56.660 --> 16:58.260
But there's no time.

16:58.260 --> 17:00.420
No time!

17:00.420 --> 17:03.220
A big one coming up and l get you.

17:03.220 --> 17:04.500
Mallory?

17:04.500 --> 17:05.460
Yes, sir?

17:05.460 --> 17:07.620
The men you're commanding.

17:07.620 --> 17:09.620
That was my platoon.

17:09.620 --> 17:13.220
l fought those guys over African through Sicily.

17:13.220 --> 17:16.660
With leadership, it's the best rifle platoon in the Army.

17:16.660 --> 17:19.620
l ain't gonna let no second-guesser foul him up.

17:19.620 --> 17:21.220
ls that clear, Mallory?

17:21.220 --> 17:22.420
Yes, sir.

17:22.420 --> 17:25.220
l'm keeping a sharp eye on you, understand?

17:25.220 --> 17:29.780
You foul up again by so much as a whisker and l feed you to the birds.

17:29.780 --> 17:31.620
Poor penny.

17:31.620 --> 17:36.820
All right, dismissed.

17:36.820 --> 17:39.060
Right then, the lieutenant proved that he had good sense,

17:39.060 --> 17:41.060
even if he was only a shavetail,

17:41.060 --> 17:42.820
because he went out and hunted up his sergeant,

17:42.820 --> 17:45.140
which just happened to be me.

17:45.140 --> 17:48.260
He found me down in the village in a pub.

17:48.260 --> 17:50.660
l want to thank you for shooting off that flare sergeant.

17:50.660 --> 17:53.060
All right, lieutenant.

17:53.060 --> 17:54.660
The old man just let me have it.

17:54.660 --> 17:55.860
Good.

17:55.860 --> 17:57.060
ls he always that tough?

17:57.060 --> 17:59.060
The old man isn't tough, lieutenant.

17:59.060 --> 18:01.860
Get down under that rough crust and he's sentimental.

18:01.860 --> 18:03.300
You know what l mean?

18:03.300 --> 18:04.740
Maybe you're right, sergeant.

18:04.740 --> 18:13.140
But so far, that's the side of him l haven't seen yet.

18:13.140 --> 18:16.500
Now, the lieutenant didn't see that side of Captain Hale for some time.

18:16.500 --> 18:20.340
It was a lot later than any of us thought, and the old man got rougher.

18:20.340 --> 18:25.140
That's the way things went, real rough, right up until May 30, 1944.

18:25.140 --> 18:27.620
And then, no more training.

18:27.620 --> 18:30.260
They told us they were going to give us a little ocean trip.

18:30.260 --> 18:36.980
Yep, right across the Channel de France.

18:36.980 --> 18:39.940
All hands, set watch on condition one.

18:39.940 --> 18:43.460
What's the matter, lieutenant?

18:43.460 --> 18:45.460
You scared?

18:45.460 --> 18:47.460
Yes, sir, Captain Hale.

18:47.460 --> 18:49.460
lt's just that l...

18:49.460 --> 18:51.460
Don't apologize.

18:51.460 --> 18:53.460
So am l.

18:53.460 --> 18:55.460
You?

18:55.460 --> 18:57.460
After all the battle you've been in?

18:57.460 --> 18:59.460
Lieutenant, you're sort of scared because you don't know what it's going to be like.

18:59.460 --> 19:01.460
l know what it's going to be like, and l'm plenty scared.

19:01.460 --> 19:03.460
There's only one thing l can tell you.

19:03.460 --> 19:05.460
Yes, sir?

19:05.460 --> 19:09.460
Five minutes after you hit the beach, you'll be a veteran.

19:09.460 --> 19:23.460
You know, Captain Hale, l never figured on anything like this when l was teaching English

19:23.460 --> 19:25.460
back at Central High.

19:25.460 --> 19:27.460
l figured l...

19:27.460 --> 19:29.460
l don't want to know anything about you, lieutenant.

19:29.460 --> 19:31.460
Sir?

19:31.460 --> 19:33.460
Whether you're married, not a girl, a mother or a father, or anything else.

19:33.460 --> 19:35.460
You understand?

19:35.460 --> 19:37.460
But, Captain...

19:37.460 --> 19:41.460
lf you don't like it, then l don't have anything to remember.

19:41.460 --> 19:43.460
ls that clear to you, lieutenant?

19:43.460 --> 19:45.460
ls it clear?

19:45.460 --> 19:47.460
Yes, sir.

19:47.460 --> 19:49.460
Now hear this.

19:49.460 --> 19:51.460
We'll see if we can land in Plan Aval.

19:51.460 --> 19:53.460
We'll see if we can land in Plan Aval.

19:53.460 --> 19:55.460
Good luck, and God bless you.

19:55.460 --> 19:59.460
So they set us down on a section of Omaha Beach called Easy Red,

19:59.460 --> 20:03.460
and they said to us, ''Fellas, Easy Red is all yours if you can take it.''

20:03.460 --> 20:05.460
Well, we took Easy Red, and it was red all right after we got there.

20:05.460 --> 20:07.460
But it wasn't easy.

20:13.460 --> 20:15.460
So the lieutenant got us going, those of us that were left,

20:15.460 --> 20:17.460
and we began the march across Normandy.

20:17.460 --> 20:19.460
A correction.

20:19.460 --> 20:21.460
We got down on our bellies and began to crawl across Normandy.

20:21.460 --> 20:23.460
And, brother, l'll never forget those days.

20:29.460 --> 20:31.460
What are you stopping here for, Mallory?

20:31.460 --> 20:35.460
The cops are up the other way!

20:37.460 --> 20:41.460
And then one day we got it real dirty, those of us that were left.

20:41.460 --> 20:43.460
The oldest man on our platoon was 35.

20:43.460 --> 20:47.460
He was married and he had two kids back in the States.

20:47.460 --> 20:49.460
He was sort of our unofficial chaplain.

20:49.460 --> 20:51.460
We all called him Uncle Roy.

20:53.460 --> 20:55.460
Sergeant Bell, where are you?

20:55.460 --> 20:57.460
Back of the hedge row, lieutenant. Over here.

20:57.460 --> 20:59.460
Well, we kind of got him on the run.

20:59.460 --> 21:01.460
Maybe we can take a breather now and...

21:01.460 --> 21:03.460
Sergeant, no.

21:03.460 --> 21:05.460
Yeah, Uncle Roy.

21:05.460 --> 21:07.460
Uncle Roy? Anybody else?

21:07.460 --> 21:09.460
Me, you, sergeant, but Uncle Roy.

21:09.460 --> 21:11.460
Want me to get his personal effects?

21:11.460 --> 21:13.460
l'll get them.

21:13.460 --> 21:15.460
All right.

21:15.460 --> 21:17.460
Look, a little piece of shrapnel went right through his wallet

21:17.460 --> 21:19.460
into the picture of his wife and kid.

21:23.460 --> 21:25.460
Mallory, what are you doing here?

21:25.460 --> 21:27.460
You're no better than this.

21:27.460 --> 21:29.460
Now you're taking time out to hold our wake?

21:29.460 --> 21:31.460
You've never seen a dead man before?

21:31.460 --> 21:33.460
Go on, get out of here!

21:33.460 --> 21:35.460
We got a position to secure!

21:35.460 --> 21:37.460
Boy, you're unfeeling hard-hearted.

21:37.460 --> 21:39.460
You heard me, Mallory. Move!

21:41.460 --> 21:43.460
So we moved those of us who were left.

21:43.460 --> 21:45.460
But when we secured the position,

21:45.460 --> 21:47.460
the lieutenant made them a shack

21:47.460 --> 21:49.460
where the old man was using as a command post.

21:49.460 --> 21:53.460
Well, Mallory, there are a lot of things officers are supposed to be

21:53.460 --> 21:55.460
that have nothing to do with fighting over.

21:55.460 --> 21:57.460
But you haven't indicated you can feel or know anything

21:57.460 --> 21:59.460
except how to kill Germans.

22:01.460 --> 22:03.460
What are you trying to say?

22:03.460 --> 22:05.460
Shut up and sit in that chair. I'm not through with you yet.

22:05.460 --> 22:07.460
One of the things I was taught was to see

22:07.460 --> 22:09.460
that the nearest you can receive the personal belongings

22:09.460 --> 22:11.460
of soldiers killed in action.

22:11.460 --> 22:13.460
Here, take these.

22:13.460 --> 22:15.460
You're not going to be able to do it.

22:15.460 --> 22:17.460
You're not going to be able to do it.

22:17.460 --> 22:19.460
Here, take these.

22:19.460 --> 22:21.460
Look, there was a sergeant in my house.

22:21.460 --> 22:23.460
A guy named Henderson.

22:23.460 --> 22:25.460
I thought everybody loved him.

22:25.460 --> 22:27.460
What do you mean?

22:27.460 --> 22:29.460
Just what I said.

22:29.460 --> 22:31.460
I don't expect you to have any idea

22:31.460 --> 22:33.460
of how my men and I felt about Uncle Roy.

22:33.460 --> 22:35.460
But I'm telling you now, Captain Hale,

22:35.460 --> 22:37.460
if you don't see to it that his wife gets this stuff,

22:37.460 --> 22:39.460
I'm going to kick your brains out.

22:41.460 --> 22:43.460
What do you feel about him?

22:43.460 --> 22:47.460
How long have you had that platoon?

22:47.460 --> 22:49.460
Three months?

22:49.460 --> 22:51.460
I've had it for three years, you hear?

22:51.460 --> 22:53.460
Three years!

22:55.460 --> 22:57.460
Little kid Tony, that's his picture.

22:57.460 --> 22:59.460
Anthony John Henderson.

22:59.460 --> 23:01.460
That's Helen's father

23:01.460 --> 23:03.460
and Roy's grandfather.

23:03.460 --> 23:05.460
He was only a year old, Mill.

23:05.460 --> 23:07.460
Maybe he wasn't even quite that when Roy joined the outfit.

23:07.460 --> 23:09.460
I remember how Uncle Roy

23:09.460 --> 23:11.460
and these frowns all over Tunisia

23:11.460 --> 23:13.460
trying to find a Christmas present for the kid in 43.

23:15.460 --> 23:17.460
For Annie and Helen, too.

23:17.460 --> 23:19.460
You're not old enough to teach me

23:19.460 --> 23:21.460
how to feel about Uncle Roy Henderson.

23:29.460 --> 23:31.460
Well, finally even the Army had to admit

23:31.460 --> 23:33.460
that our outfit had had it,

23:33.460 --> 23:35.460
those of us who were left.

23:35.460 --> 23:37.460
They took us to a rear area for rest and replacements.

23:37.460 --> 23:39.460
I happened to be in Battalion headquarters

23:39.460 --> 23:41.460
the day they told Captain Haley

23:41.460 --> 23:43.460
he was promoted to Major.

23:43.460 --> 23:45.460
But they didn't kid the old man,

23:45.460 --> 23:47.460
not even by that much.

23:47.460 --> 23:49.460
He knew he was being kicked upstairs.

23:49.460 --> 23:51.460
Don't sit there looking so dumb, Ari.

23:53.460 --> 23:55.460
You got nothing to say, go over to the USO.

23:55.460 --> 23:57.460
Sounds like they're having a good time over there.

23:59.460 --> 24:01.460
I just don't understand it, Captain.

24:01.460 --> 24:03.460
I mean Major.

24:03.460 --> 24:05.460
It's in plain Army English.

24:05.460 --> 24:07.460
I'm going to leave the command and you've got it.

24:07.460 --> 24:09.460
Why? I'll never be as good as you.

24:09.460 --> 24:11.460
Oh, yes you will.

24:11.460 --> 24:13.460
If you'll live long enough.

24:13.460 --> 24:15.460
I look all right to you, Mallory?

24:15.460 --> 24:17.460
Sure, of course.

24:17.460 --> 24:19.460
Well, I'm not.

24:19.460 --> 24:21.460
I'm a loony, Joe, a battle psycho.

24:21.460 --> 24:23.460
I've made so many decisions

24:23.460 --> 24:25.460
I'm afraid to make decisions anymore.

24:25.460 --> 24:27.460
So I'm a bad risk

24:27.460 --> 24:29.460
and bad company commander.

24:29.460 --> 24:31.460
But it's not a promotion.

24:31.460 --> 24:33.460
And it means no more decisions.

24:33.460 --> 24:35.460
The way I got the company, Joe, in North Africa

24:35.460 --> 24:37.460
right after Kasserine passed.

24:37.460 --> 24:39.460
Murray Fraser was my CO then.

24:39.460 --> 24:41.460
He lost two full platoons.

24:41.460 --> 24:43.460
Only mine and Wendell's were left

24:43.460 --> 24:45.460
and not much of us.

24:45.460 --> 24:47.460
I was at an Italian meeting and Murray

24:47.460 --> 24:49.460
began to cry, see?

24:49.460 --> 24:51.460
Not loud or anything.

24:51.460 --> 24:53.460
Just crying.

24:53.460 --> 24:55.460
Well, I've never done any crying, Joe.

24:57.460 --> 24:59.460
You'll be a good company commander.

24:59.460 --> 25:01.460
But I want to give you some advice.

25:01.460 --> 25:05.460
Don't get to know your men, Joe.

25:05.460 --> 25:07.460
It's knowing them.

25:07.460 --> 25:09.460
Knowing what they are and what they want to be.

25:09.460 --> 25:11.460
All about their wives

25:11.460 --> 25:13.460
and their sweethearts.

25:13.460 --> 25:15.460
That's the stuff that wrecks you, Joe.

25:17.460 --> 25:19.460
That's when if they bleed

25:19.460 --> 25:21.460
then you bleed.

25:21.460 --> 25:23.460
And if they die

25:23.460 --> 25:25.460
a little piece of you dies too.

25:27.460 --> 25:29.460
That's the puzzle, Joe.

25:29.460 --> 25:31.460
The Army teaches you

25:31.460 --> 25:33.460
you can't make men fight for you

25:33.460 --> 25:35.460
unless you get close to them.

25:35.460 --> 25:37.460
And once you get close to them

25:37.460 --> 25:39.460
you don't want to make them fight, Joe.

25:41.460 --> 25:43.460
Figure out the answer to that

25:43.460 --> 25:45.460
and you'll not only stay healthy

25:45.460 --> 25:47.460
you'll probably end up as thinking general.

25:47.460 --> 25:49.460
Here, Joe.

25:49.460 --> 25:51.460
There ain't no stores around here where you can buy these silver bars.

25:51.460 --> 25:53.460
That's the one I wore at Kasserine Pass.

25:55.460 --> 25:57.460
Okay.

25:57.460 --> 25:59.460
That's all.

25:59.460 --> 26:01.460
You'll be moving up for another big push soon.

26:01.460 --> 26:03.460
So get out of here and have a good time.

26:09.460 --> 26:11.460
Two or three days and we're ready to move up.

26:11.460 --> 26:13.460
And sure enough we get us a brand new shape here.

26:17.460 --> 26:19.460
Lieutenant Johnson reporting for duty, sir.

26:19.460 --> 26:21.460
You were supposed to have been here yesterday.

26:21.460 --> 26:23.460
I know sir, but I took the wrong road.

26:23.460 --> 26:25.460
And so you got lost.

26:25.460 --> 26:27.460
I suppose you're straight out of OCS at Fanning.

26:27.460 --> 26:29.460
Yes sir.

26:29.460 --> 26:31.460
They're really shipping him out of there fast now.

26:31.460 --> 26:33.460
It's only allowed a 24 hour pass to see my wife in the office before the...

26:33.460 --> 26:35.460
Knock it off.

26:35.460 --> 26:37.460
Yes sir.

26:37.460 --> 26:39.460
Remember this and don't make me repeat it.

26:39.460 --> 26:41.460
As far as I'm concerned you can forget the family history.

26:41.460 --> 26:43.460
Sir, I only...

26:43.460 --> 26:45.460
Give it attention, Johnson.

26:45.460 --> 26:47.460
Yes sir.

26:47.460 --> 26:49.460
If you're as good under fire as you are on paper we'll get along.

26:49.460 --> 26:51.460
If you're not, I'll reclassify you

26:51.460 --> 26:53.460
and ship you back to a repo depot.

26:53.460 --> 26:55.460
Yes sir.

26:55.460 --> 26:57.460
We're moving up tonight so I'd better tell you a few things.

26:57.460 --> 26:59.460
You're getting the best rifle platoon in the army.

26:59.460 --> 27:01.460
My platoon.

27:01.460 --> 27:03.460
Give them good leadership and they'll fight for you.

27:03.460 --> 27:05.460
And they'll die for you.

27:05.460 --> 27:07.460
They won't let you down.

27:07.460 --> 27:09.460
But I'll have my eye on you.

27:09.460 --> 27:11.460
And if you fall up by so much as a whisker,

27:11.460 --> 27:13.460
just once, understand?

27:13.460 --> 27:15.460
So help me I'll feed you to the birds.

27:15.460 --> 27:17.460
Forty minutes.

27:17.460 --> 27:23.460
Forty minutes. Alright, just a minute.

27:47.460 --> 27:53.460
Congratulations to David Brown, Johnny Gar and Frank Lovejoy for a memorable performance of Warner Brothers' Breakthroughs.

27:53.460 --> 27:55.460
Oh boys, do you know Groucho Mark, don't you?

27:55.460 --> 27:57.460
Of course.

27:57.460 --> 27:59.460
Hello Groucho. Glad to see you.

27:59.460 --> 28:01.460
I enjoyed the performances you boys gave.

28:01.460 --> 28:05.460
Now how about being good soldiers and saying a few words on behalf of our sponsor, the Playboy Company?

28:05.460 --> 28:07.460
How about it, Dave Brian?

28:07.460 --> 28:09.460
I'd be glad to, Groucho.

28:09.460 --> 28:11.460
I have been drinking a lot of beer.

28:11.460 --> 28:13.460
I've been playing a lot of games.

28:13.460 --> 28:15.460
I've been playing a lot of games.

28:15.460 --> 28:17.460
And I'd like to say a few words to Groucho.

28:17.460 --> 28:19.460
I have been drinking Klebo for years.

28:19.460 --> 28:25.460
I have always relished its rich tanginess, its tangy richness.

28:25.460 --> 28:29.460
Its mellow goodness, its good mellowness.

28:29.460 --> 28:31.460
Its heavenly smell.

28:31.460 --> 28:35.460
Its smell is the heaven.

28:35.460 --> 28:37.460
And how about you, John Agar?

28:37.460 --> 28:39.460
Certainly, Groucho.

28:39.460 --> 28:41.460
I've been smoking Klebo for years.

28:41.460 --> 28:44.460
Whenever I feel tense, I light up a Klebo.

28:44.460 --> 28:51.460
And I've always found that wherever people congregate, more folks are lit up than anybody else.

28:51.460 --> 28:53.460
And you, Frank Lovejoy?

28:53.460 --> 28:56.460
Well, I always shave with Klebo.

28:56.460 --> 28:58.460
Because I have a money back guarantee.

28:58.460 --> 29:06.460
If you're not satisfied, you can get triple your money back by writing to the Klebo Company, Newark, New Jersey, post office box 27.

29:06.460 --> 29:08.460
I'll repeat that address.

29:08.460 --> 29:13.460
The Klebo Company, Houston, Texas, post office box 27.

29:13.460 --> 29:15.460
And how about you, Tallulah?

29:15.460 --> 29:23.460
If you don't stop interrupting the show, darling, I'm going to get my double-barreled Klebo and shoot off both of your party little heads.

29:23.460 --> 29:33.460
You have just paid an unsolicited testimonial by Mr. Lula Bankhead of Montgomery, Alabama, second basement of the New York Giants.

29:33.460 --> 29:41.460
And now the Klebo Company, makers of money, relinquishes its time for a special announcement through radio stations everywhere.

29:41.460 --> 29:46.460
This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.

29:46.460 --> 30:05.460
The Big Show.

30:05.460 --> 30:11.460
This is the national broadcasting company, Sunday Extrapaganda, with the most scintillating personalities in show business.

30:11.460 --> 30:18.460
This portion of the program is the Sunday feature of NBC's star-studded five-show festival of comedy, music, drama, and mystery.

30:18.460 --> 30:21.460
Presented five nights a week and brought to you by the makers of Amazons.

30:21.460 --> 30:24.460
For fast relief from pain of headache, ureitis, and neuralgia.

30:24.460 --> 30:31.460
And by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television.

30:31.460 --> 30:39.460
The big stars on this program are Groucho Marx, Fanny Brice, Hazy O'Pienza, Jane Powell, David Bryan, John Agar, Frank Lovejoy,

30:39.460 --> 30:42.460
Ann Lee Stafford, Meredith Wilson and his orchestra.

30:42.460 --> 30:57.460
And every week your glamorous hostess, Miss Tallulah Bankhead.

30:57.460 --> 31:02.460
And this is where I get my kicks out of being Mrs. of Ceremonies on this show.

31:02.460 --> 31:08.460
Because by arrangement with Metro Golden Mare, producers of The Miniver Story, starring Greg Garson and Walter Pigeon,

31:08.460 --> 31:13.460
I'm about to introduce a man who brought a new kind of romance to Broadway.

31:13.460 --> 31:19.460
Not the typical musical comedy youth with padded shoulders and the you can be taller than she is shoes.

31:19.460 --> 31:25.460
Here was a kind of romantic singer who would appeal to us girls who were more mature.

31:25.460 --> 31:29.460
Oh, I beg your pardon, I mean to you girls who are more mature.

31:29.460 --> 31:32.460
Of course, of course you know who I mean, darling.

31:32.460 --> 31:38.460
A star of the Metropolitan Opera, a star of South Pacific and now a star of MGM.

31:38.460 --> 31:47.460
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Ezio Pienza.

31:47.460 --> 31:49.460
What do you mean, Miss Bankhead?

31:49.460 --> 31:52.460
Good. It's enchanting.

31:52.460 --> 31:54.460
What a career you've had, Mr. Pienza.

31:54.460 --> 31:59.460
Or should I say careers, opera, musical comedy, RCA records and now motion pictures.

31:59.460 --> 32:02.460
And you've only begun what you'll be going on forever.

32:02.460 --> 32:09.460
Oh, not me, Miss Bankhead. I am going to retire when I reach 40.

32:09.460 --> 32:15.460
Well, I'm going to retire when I reach 30.

32:15.460 --> 32:21.460
If you will reach a little higher, I will reach a little higher.

32:21.460 --> 32:24.460
All right then, darling, when I reach 31.

32:24.460 --> 32:27.460
All right, when I reach 41.

32:27.460 --> 32:30.460
Well, stop staring at me. 32.

32:30.460 --> 32:31.460
42.

32:31.460 --> 32:32.460
33.

32:32.460 --> 32:33.460
43.

32:33.460 --> 32:34.460
32.

32:34.460 --> 32:36.460
44.

32:36.460 --> 32:38.460
31.

32:38.460 --> 32:40.460
45.

32:40.460 --> 32:42.460
30.

32:42.460 --> 32:48.460
Calula, one of us is reaching in the wrong direction.

32:48.460 --> 32:51.460
Oh, well, let's not play that little game anymore, Ezio.

32:51.460 --> 32:55.460
I understand that in your new picture, Mr. Imperium, you sing the Lana Turner.

32:55.460 --> 32:57.460
What would you sing now to me?

32:57.460 --> 33:01.460
Well, yes, I could.

33:01.460 --> 33:04.460
Well, I don't like the way you said that.

33:04.460 --> 33:07.460
Darling, excuse the word darling.

33:07.460 --> 33:10.460
If you sing them to Lana, why can't you sing them to me?

33:10.460 --> 33:12.460
Would it make that much difference?

33:12.460 --> 33:15.460
Oh, no, no, of course not.

33:15.460 --> 33:24.460
Except that Lana is so much, so much shorter than you are.

33:24.460 --> 33:26.460
Oh, thank you, Ezio.

33:26.460 --> 33:29.460
Under the circumstances, that's the sweetest thing you could have said to me.

33:29.460 --> 33:55.460
And now, Ezio, would you sing my very favorite number, and I really mean this, September song?

33:55.460 --> 34:04.460
When I was a young man courting the girls, I played me a waiting game.

34:04.460 --> 34:14.460
If a maid refused me this tossing curse, I'd let the old verse take a couple of words,

34:14.460 --> 34:21.460
While I flied her with fear in lieu of pearls.

34:21.460 --> 34:28.460
And as time came around, she came my way.

34:28.460 --> 34:35.460
As time came around, she came.

34:35.460 --> 34:45.460
Oh, it's a long, long one from May to December,

34:45.460 --> 34:54.460
But the days grow sore when you reach September,

34:54.460 --> 35:03.460
When the autumn weather storms the leaves to flame,

35:03.460 --> 35:13.460
One has no time for the waiting game.

35:13.460 --> 35:21.460
Through the days being down, through precious days,

35:21.460 --> 35:30.460
September, November,

35:30.460 --> 35:40.460
And these few precious days, I'll spend with you.

35:40.460 --> 35:54.460
These precious days, I'll spend with you.

35:54.460 --> 36:04.460
Oh, it's a long, long one from May to December,

36:04.460 --> 36:13.460
But the days grow sore when you reach September,

36:13.460 --> 36:22.460
When the autumn weather storms the leaves to flame,

36:22.460 --> 36:32.460
One has no time for the waiting game.

36:32.460 --> 36:40.460
Through the days being down, through precious days,

36:40.460 --> 36:50.460
September, November,

36:50.460 --> 37:00.460
And these few precious days, I'll spend with you.

37:00.460 --> 37:15.460
These precious days, I'll spend with you.

37:31.460 --> 37:34.460
Bravo, Ezio Pinza, bravo.

37:34.460 --> 37:35.460
Thank you.

37:35.460 --> 37:39.460
Yes, bravo, and not only bravo, but chico and harpo.

37:39.460 --> 37:42.460
Oh, Mr. Pinza, do you know Groucho Marx?

37:42.460 --> 37:51.460
Groucho Marx? What a peculiar name.

37:51.460 --> 37:59.460
Look, Izzy.

37:59.460 --> 38:04.460
Don't you feel a little peculiar singing on a program that hasn't got a sponsor?

38:04.460 --> 38:06.460
Let me give you a commercial.

38:06.460 --> 38:07.460
The Plebo Company.

38:07.460 --> 38:10.460
Groucho, darling, we happen to have a sponsor now.

38:10.460 --> 38:13.460
Oh, you mean there is a Plebo Company and they call that?

38:13.460 --> 38:17.460
Oh, no, Groucho, but there is a Whitehall Pharmacal Company, makers of aniseins,

38:17.460 --> 38:19.460
and they have a message of interest to everybody.

38:19.460 --> 38:22.460
You mean a brief message. That's what they always say.

38:22.460 --> 38:25.460
We now bring you a brief message from our sponsor.

38:25.460 --> 38:28.460
Arrive safely, let her follow.

38:28.460 --> 38:32.460
Now, this message I have is a brief message, but it is important.

38:32.460 --> 38:34.460
If you suffer from the pains of a headache,

38:34.460 --> 38:39.460
we urge you to try the remarkable product this program features, anisine.

38:39.460 --> 38:41.460
Anisine is like a doctor's prescription.

38:41.460 --> 38:44.460
That is, anisine contains not just one,

38:44.460 --> 38:48.460
but a combination of medically proven active ingredients.

38:48.460 --> 38:53.460
The relief these tablets bring is not only effective, but often incredibly fast.

38:53.460 --> 38:58.460
Many of you I know first discovered anisine through your own dentist or physician.

38:58.460 --> 39:00.460
But if you have not yet used anisine,

39:00.460 --> 39:05.460
we urge you to try these tablets the next time you are in pain from a headache, neuritis, or neuralgia.

39:05.460 --> 39:08.460
You will be delighted with the result.

39:08.460 --> 39:10.460
Try anisine on this guarantee.

39:10.460 --> 39:14.460
If the first few tablets do not give you all the relief you want as fast as you want it,

39:14.460 --> 39:19.460
return the unused portion and your money will be refunded.

39:19.460 --> 39:22.460
You can get anisine at any drug counter.

39:22.460 --> 39:26.460
It is called ANACIN.

39:26.460 --> 39:30.460
Easy to take anisine tablets come in handy boxes of 12 and 30

39:30.460 --> 39:34.460
and economical family size bottles of 50 and 100.

39:34.460 --> 39:40.460
Music

39:40.460 --> 39:42.460
Snokes! Oh, Snokes!

39:42.460 --> 39:44.460
Yes, Daddy?

39:44.460 --> 39:48.460
Stick close by. I don't want you to get lost here at NBC.

39:48.460 --> 39:54.460
See, Daddy, look on that door there. It says Tallulah Bankhead.

39:54.460 --> 39:56.460
What about it?

39:56.460 --> 40:00.460
What's a Tallulah Bankhead?

40:00.460 --> 40:02.460
What's a Tallulah Bankhead?

40:02.460 --> 40:03.460
Mm-hmm.

40:03.460 --> 40:06.460
Just about the most famous stage actress today, that's all.

40:06.460 --> 40:09.460
Oh, is that all?

40:09.460 --> 40:13.460
Is that all? Who made such a great success in a royal scandal?

40:13.460 --> 40:15.460
Who starred in the hit play The Skin of Our Teeth?

40:15.460 --> 40:18.460
Who thrilled thousands on Broadway in The Little Foxes?

40:18.460 --> 40:20.460
Who, I ask you, who?

40:20.460 --> 40:24.460
No!

40:24.460 --> 40:26.460
What are you crying about?

40:26.460 --> 40:33.460
I didn't do it.

40:33.460 --> 40:38.460
I know you didn't. Tallulah Bankhead did.

40:38.460 --> 40:42.460
By, when she's on a stage, nobody can even come close to her.

40:42.460 --> 40:46.460
When she delivers a speech, audiences don't dare breathe.

40:46.460 --> 40:52.460
You mean, even her best friends won't tell her?

40:52.460 --> 40:55.460
Oh, stop!

40:55.460 --> 40:58.460
I mean that she's so good, she's without an equal.

40:58.460 --> 41:00.460
What an actress!

41:00.460 --> 41:05.460
When she plays a love scene with a leading man, how she carries off a part.

41:05.460 --> 41:09.460
Oh, which part of him does she carry off?

41:09.460 --> 41:12.460
Don't be silly.

41:12.460 --> 41:15.460
I'd like to be an actress when I grow up.

41:15.460 --> 41:21.460
Oh, that's ridiculous. You're not pretty enough.

41:21.460 --> 41:25.460
You mean, I'm ugly?

41:25.460 --> 41:31.460
Well, well, at least it's a clean-cut uglyness.

41:31.460 --> 41:33.460
Look, stay here a minute.

41:33.460 --> 41:36.460
We're supposed to be contestants on Groucho Marx's quiz show.

41:36.460 --> 41:38.460
I'd better check up on that. Be back soon.

41:38.460 --> 41:41.460
All right, Daddy.

41:41.460 --> 41:43.460
I don't care what Daddy says.

41:43.460 --> 41:46.460
I'm going to be an actress when I grow up.

41:46.460 --> 41:49.460
Like Tallulah Bankhead.

41:49.460 --> 41:53.460
Say, I know what I'll do.

41:53.460 --> 41:59.460
While Daddy's gone, I'll knock on her door, and I'll ask her how to get the B-1.

41:59.460 --> 42:02.460
Yay!

42:02.460 --> 42:10.460
Come in.

42:10.460 --> 42:14.460
Hello, Miss Bankhead. Can I ask you something?

42:14.460 --> 42:23.460
Please take those sweaty little paws off my headache on egg-a-gowns.

42:23.460 --> 42:28.460
Or I'll slug you one.

42:28.460 --> 42:31.460
Gee, you wouldn't hit a little girl, would you?

42:31.460 --> 42:35.460
No, but if you did knock, it says, you look, I'm a boochy one.

42:35.460 --> 42:38.460
Well, get over with it. What have you got on your chest?

42:38.460 --> 42:44.460
Nothing.

42:44.460 --> 42:57.460
I told you I was a little girl.

42:57.460 --> 43:02.460
I was right. I was right, this darling is obnoxious.

43:02.460 --> 43:05.460
I mean, what do you want to ask me?

43:05.460 --> 43:08.460
How can I get to be a big actress like you?

43:08.460 --> 43:13.460
Don't be ridiculous, my dear. No one can be like me.

43:13.460 --> 43:18.460
Sometimes I even have trouble.

43:18.460 --> 43:20.460
If that's all that's worrying you, goodbye, darling.

43:20.460 --> 43:23.460
Will I want to be an actress when I grow up?

43:23.460 --> 43:26.460
No, are you going to grow up?

43:26.460 --> 43:31.460
I should think you'd be discouraged enough already.

43:31.460 --> 43:37.460
Gee, maybe daddy is right. I guess I am too ugly to be an actress.

43:37.460 --> 43:39.460
Your father told you that?

43:39.460 --> 43:40.460
Yeah.

43:40.460 --> 43:43.460
What a nerd of a man. But that's what they told me.

43:43.460 --> 43:47.460
That's what my father told me when I was a kid. It really startled me.

43:47.460 --> 43:51.460
Yeah, it sure has.

43:51.460 --> 43:57.460
I meant at the time. Well, I don't you believe it, darling. You can be an actress if you want. You are not ugly.

43:57.460 --> 44:01.460
Yes, I am. Even you said so before.

44:01.460 --> 44:07.460
And it's true that party boys never call me in for kissing games.

44:07.460 --> 44:08.460
But they don't like me.

44:08.460 --> 44:10.460
Oh, boys, what do they know?

44:10.460 --> 44:14.460
They know they don't like me.

44:14.460 --> 44:16.460
I'm ugly. Yes, I am.

44:16.460 --> 44:21.460
Darling, as much as I hate to let my good side come out, let me tell you something.

44:21.460 --> 44:26.460
Now, you're not ugly. Well, not for the stage anyway. You see, for the stage there are many different kinds of beauty.

44:26.460 --> 44:30.460
Now, for instance, there's a delicate beauty. Of course, that's not your kind.

44:30.460 --> 44:33.460
And then there's a world of exotic beauty.

44:33.460 --> 44:35.460
What kind am I?

44:35.460 --> 44:42.460
You? Well, you have the kind that's known as ugly beauty.

44:42.460 --> 44:44.460
That's the kind?

44:44.460 --> 44:52.460
What I mean is that when a really fine actress plays the part of a beautiful woman, she has the personality to make an audience believe she actually is beautiful.

44:52.460 --> 44:55.460
In fact, many great people have had that ability.

44:55.460 --> 44:57.460
Who, for instance?

44:57.460 --> 45:05.460
Well, take Abraham Lincoln. He was homely, but because he had such a wonderful, sincere personality, his homely face became beautiful to everybody.

45:05.460 --> 45:07.460
Now, do you understand?

45:07.460 --> 45:10.460
Yes, and I feel better already.

45:10.460 --> 45:11.460
Oh, you do?

45:11.460 --> 45:21.460
Yes. You know what? Only yesterday a boy said, I look like Abraham Lincoln.

45:21.460 --> 45:26.460
Good heavens, there is a resemblance.

45:26.460 --> 45:30.460
Well, look here, Abe. I mean, darling.

45:30.460 --> 45:31.460
Yes, Miss Punkhead.

45:31.460 --> 45:36.460
Now, don't worry. If you really want to be a great actress when you grow up, you can.

45:36.460 --> 45:41.460
Gee, thanks, Miss Tallulah. You're just wonderful.

45:41.460 --> 45:47.460
Fine. Now, run along, you're starting to bore me.

45:47.460 --> 45:57.460
Good heavens, this child is obviously going to grow up to be another Betty Davis.

45:57.460 --> 45:59.460
Well, Snooks, there you are.

45:59.460 --> 46:00.460
Gee, it's Daddy.

46:00.460 --> 46:03.460
I'm sorry if she bothered you, Miss Bankhead.

46:03.460 --> 46:09.460
Ain't she wonderful, Daddy? And isn't that a beautiful dress she's wearing?

46:09.460 --> 46:13.460
Yes, isn't it?

46:13.460 --> 46:18.460
And it's so soft and fluffy.

46:18.460 --> 46:26.460
Take those sweaty paws off my haddy-calling again. I mean you, Daddy.

46:26.460 --> 46:28.460
I beg your pardon. I'm sorry.

46:28.460 --> 46:32.460
Well, come on, Snooks. I really do hope we haven't bothered you, Miss Bankhead.

46:32.460 --> 46:35.460
We heard that Groucho Marx is going to do his quiz program on the show tonight.

46:35.460 --> 46:37.460
No, that comes a little later in the program.

46:37.460 --> 46:39.460
Oh, well, come on, Snooks. We'll wait over here.

46:39.460 --> 46:42.460
Say goodbye to Miss Bankhead and tell her you're sorry you bothered her.

46:42.460 --> 46:45.460
And for heaven's sake, pull up your garters.

46:45.460 --> 46:52.460
Goodbye, Miss Bankhead, and I'm sorry I bothered you. And for heaven's sake, pull up your garters.

46:52.460 --> 47:05.460
Coming, darling.

47:05.460 --> 47:12.460
I could have sworn I knew that child about 30 years ago.

47:12.460 --> 47:18.460
Of course, I was just an infant then, and she was a grown woman.

47:18.460 --> 47:25.460
And here I am a grown woman, and now she's just a child, my father.

47:25.460 --> 47:29.460
Hey, you know who I just saw out there? Fanny Ward.

47:29.460 --> 47:35.460
Groucho, that's Fanny Bryce, and that man with her was Hanley Stafford, her father.

47:35.460 --> 47:37.460
Fanny Bryce's father is Hanley Stafford?

47:37.460 --> 47:39.460
Well, he's not really her father. She's his ward.

47:39.460 --> 47:44.460
That's what I said, Fanny Ward.

47:44.460 --> 48:00.460
And speaking of Fanny, what's Pinza doing sitting around in his dressing room?

48:00.460 --> 48:03.460
Why isn't he down here singing some Enchanted Evening?

48:03.460 --> 48:06.460
Mr. Pinza is not singing some Enchanted Evening on this program, darling.

48:06.460 --> 48:12.460
Well, somebody's going to sing some Enchanted Evening on this darling program, even if it's only darling me.

48:12.460 --> 48:15.460
How about a darling chorus?

48:42.460 --> 48:47.460
Some Enchanted Evening

48:47.460 --> 48:52.460
Some Enchanted Evening

48:52.460 --> 48:57.460
You will meet a stranger

48:57.460 --> 49:01.460
You will meet a stranger

49:01.460 --> 49:05.460
Across a crowded room

49:05.460 --> 49:10.460
And then you will know

49:10.460 --> 49:15.460
You will know even then

49:15.460 --> 49:18.460
That someday you will meet her

49:18.460 --> 49:25.460
Again and again

49:25.460 --> 49:28.460
Yes, that's the way it happens.

49:28.460 --> 49:33.460
I was at a party some years ago. It was a cocktail party.

49:33.460 --> 49:36.460
Shrimp cocktails.

49:36.460 --> 49:40.460
Smallest drinks I ever saw.

49:40.460 --> 49:47.460
All of a sudden I looked across the crowded room and there wasn't a stranger in the place.

49:47.460 --> 49:49.460
So I went to another party.

49:49.460 --> 49:52.460
And there I saw her.

49:52.460 --> 49:55.460
I cut across the room. I took her to my arms.

49:55.460 --> 49:59.460
And I kissed her full on the lips.

49:59.460 --> 50:05.460
And she said, take that cheap cigar out of my mouth.

50:05.460 --> 50:09.460
Well, at party after party I saw her again.

50:09.460 --> 50:14.460
And again. And again. And again. And again.

50:14.460 --> 50:20.460
It was during the Roosevelt administration.

50:20.460 --> 50:26.460
And then at one party I met another stranger. A stranger.

50:26.460 --> 50:31.460
Her husband.

50:31.460 --> 50:36.460
He hit me so hard I would have fallen out of a 15 story window.

50:36.460 --> 50:43.460
But I managed to grab a hold of the straps of her strapless evening gown.

50:43.460 --> 50:46.460
Once you have found her

50:46.460 --> 50:50.460
Never let her go

50:50.460 --> 50:54.460
Once you have found her

50:54.460 --> 51:04.460
Never let her go

51:15.460 --> 51:17.460
Groucho, that was a fine.

51:17.460 --> 51:23.460
I could have sung louder but I didn't want to make a bomb out of pins.

51:23.460 --> 51:28.460
No Groucho, listening to you sing again and clown through that song

51:28.460 --> 51:31.460
brought back warm dear memories of those days on Broadway

51:31.460 --> 51:36.460
when you and your brothers ran through all those wonderful shows like coconuts and animal crackers.

51:36.460 --> 51:40.460
Well maybe I'm sentimental Groucho but memories are my dearest possessions.

51:40.460 --> 51:45.460
The brilliant Dorothy Parker put it so well in the famous piece she wrote called Sentimental.

51:45.460 --> 51:57.460
I'd like to do it for you.

52:09.460 --> 52:13.460
Somewhere on the tip of your heart in the shadow of memory's tomb

52:13.460 --> 52:18.460
is the vision of somebody you once loved or somebody who loved you.

52:18.460 --> 52:22.460
An image that can return to haunt you day and night.

52:22.460 --> 52:38.460
Perhaps you remember how it feels or perhaps you may be feeling it now.

52:38.460 --> 52:39.460
Taxi lady?

52:39.460 --> 52:45.460
Taxi? Oh yes, yes sir. I did wait didn't I? Yes.

52:45.460 --> 52:46.460
Where to miss?

52:46.460 --> 52:51.460
Oh anywhere, driver, anywhere. It doesn't matter. Just keep driving.

52:51.460 --> 52:54.460
It's better than walking. It's no good not trying to walk.

52:54.460 --> 52:58.460
There's always a glimpse through the crowd of someone who looks like him.

52:58.460 --> 53:03.460
Someone with this swing of the shoulder, this snark of the hat and I think it's he.

53:03.460 --> 53:06.460
I think he's come back and my heart goes to scald in water.

53:06.460 --> 53:10.460
The buildings sway and bend above me. No, no, no. It's better to be here.

53:10.460 --> 53:15.460
I wish the driver would go fast. So fast that people walking by would be a long gray blur.

53:15.460 --> 53:20.460
And I could see no swinging shoulders, no snarking hats.

53:20.460 --> 53:23.460
Why is he stopping? Oh hold the light.

53:23.460 --> 53:27.460
But it's sad stopping. Still in the traffic I think.

53:27.460 --> 53:33.460
People pass you slowly, too clearly. And always the next one might be.

53:33.460 --> 53:37.460
I know that. But knowing it doesn't keep me from hoping.

53:37.460 --> 53:39.460
But it's sure nothing.

53:39.460 --> 53:42.460
But it's sure to the people who can look in and see me here.

53:42.460 --> 53:44.460
They can see if I cry.

53:44.460 --> 53:48.460
Oh let them. It doesn't matter. Let them look and look and look and look.

53:48.460 --> 53:52.460
Just even you, you poor, queer, tired old woman.

53:52.460 --> 53:55.460
My hat's pretty, isn't it? It's meant to be looked at.

53:55.460 --> 54:00.460
Big and red and new while your poor hats are all weary and dungy.

54:00.460 --> 54:03.460
Don't let it fool you. Red isn't gay.

54:03.460 --> 54:07.460
Red for morning. Scarlet red for a love that's dead.

54:07.460 --> 54:11.460
Didn't you know that?

54:11.460 --> 54:14.460
She's gone now. The taxi's ended again.

54:14.460 --> 54:16.460
And she's left behind forever.

54:16.460 --> 54:19.460
I wonder what she thought when our eyes and our lives met.

54:19.460 --> 54:25.460
I wonder if she realized how quick I'd be to sling away all I have if I could bear her in my breast.

54:25.460 --> 54:28.460
The still dead heart that she carries in hers.

54:28.460 --> 54:30.460
She's done with coping and burning.

54:30.460 --> 54:33.460
Just as I must someday be done with him.

54:33.460 --> 54:35.460
But when? How long?

54:35.460 --> 54:37.460
This is the sort of thing he hated so in me.

54:37.460 --> 54:40.460
I can almost hear his words, his voice.

54:40.460 --> 54:42.460
Oh for heaven's sake, he'd say.

54:42.460 --> 54:45.460
Can't you stop that fool sentimentalizing?

54:45.460 --> 54:47.460
Why do you have to do it?

54:47.460 --> 54:48.460
Why do you want to do it?

54:48.460 --> 54:50.460
Just because you see an old charwoman on the street.

54:50.460 --> 54:52.460
There's no need to get sobbing about her.

54:52.460 --> 54:57.460
She's probably on her way to get a bottle of bad gin and have a roaring time.

54:57.460 --> 55:00.460
You don't have to insist that everybody's sad.

55:00.460 --> 55:03.460
Can't you ever stop being sentimental?

55:03.460 --> 55:07.460
Yes, that's what he'd say. I know.

55:07.460 --> 55:11.460
But you won't say that, oh, or anything else to me anymore.

55:11.460 --> 55:14.460
Never anything else, sweet of this.

55:14.460 --> 55:16.460
He said I already had to say that last time.

55:16.460 --> 55:18.460
I knew what it meant.

55:18.460 --> 55:20.460
He would try me to be kind.

55:20.460 --> 55:22.460
Trying to let me down gently.

55:22.460 --> 55:24.460
But I wouldn't let him.

55:24.460 --> 55:26.460
I wanted him to suffer a little too.

55:26.460 --> 55:28.460
He said of course I'm coming back.

55:28.460 --> 55:31.460
Don't go making a national tragedy of it.

55:31.460 --> 55:35.460
Nothing to cry about. I'll be back. I'm not going away forever.

55:35.460 --> 55:39.460
But I knew. I knew because that wasn't the moment he left me.

55:39.460 --> 55:42.460
He left me long before that.

55:42.460 --> 55:44.460
He was far away then and he didn't know it.

55:44.460 --> 55:48.460
But I knew it. I knew it then and I knew it now.

55:48.460 --> 55:50.460
He's gone away and he won't come back.

55:50.460 --> 55:53.460
He's gone away and he'll never come back.

55:53.460 --> 55:55.460
He'll never come back.

55:55.460 --> 55:58.460
Nothing to the will to hang it on and on and on.

55:58.460 --> 56:00.460
That's sentimental I suppose.

56:00.460 --> 56:03.460
I wonder why it's so wrong to be sentimental.

56:03.460 --> 56:05.460
Why it's wrong, that feeling.

56:05.460 --> 56:09.460
Why do they keep telling me to stop the wounding, telling me to forget it.

56:09.460 --> 56:11.460
Who's right and who's wrong and who decides.

56:11.460 --> 56:16.460
How can I be like them when he's always with me and he and all his duty is curvy.

56:16.460 --> 56:18.460
Forget it all short. Easy, easy.

56:18.460 --> 56:20.460
Don't think of him, that's all.

56:20.460 --> 56:22.460
Here, don't think of him.

56:22.460 --> 56:23.460
Don't breathe either.

56:23.460 --> 56:26.460
Don't hear, don't see. Stop the blood in your veins.

56:26.460 --> 56:28.460
Oh I can't go on like this. I can't.

56:28.460 --> 56:32.460
I can't if I knew it would be over in a day or a year or two months I could endure it.

56:32.460 --> 56:36.460
Even if it grew duller sometimes and wilder sometimes it could be born.

56:36.460 --> 56:40.460
But it's always the same. There's no end.

56:40.460 --> 56:45.460
How am I to go on sitting and staring and buying big red hats and hating them.

56:45.460 --> 56:49.460
And then sitting and staring again day upon day upon day upon day.

56:49.460 --> 56:52.460
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

56:52.460 --> 56:55.460
How am I to drag to like this.

56:55.460 --> 56:57.460
I don't know this one.

56:57.460 --> 57:00.460
Go and see your friends and have a good time I say.

57:00.460 --> 57:03.460
Don't sit alone and dramatize yourself.

57:03.460 --> 57:05.460
Don't they know they're empty fools.

57:05.460 --> 57:08.460
That I could not see again the friends we saw together.

57:08.460 --> 57:11.460
Could not go back to the places where you and I've been.

57:11.460 --> 57:14.460
You've gone, it's ended. Ended, it's ended.

57:14.460 --> 57:19.460
And when it ends, only those places where you've known sorrow of time it will end.

57:19.460 --> 57:24.460
If you revisit the scenes that happened your heart must burst with a cavity.

57:24.460 --> 57:27.460
And that's sentimental I suppose.

57:27.460 --> 57:30.460
I wish I could say it to him but I won't say anything to him ever again.

57:30.460 --> 57:31.460
Never ever again.

57:31.460 --> 57:35.460
He's gone and it's over and I dare not think of the dead days.

57:35.460 --> 57:40.460
All my thoughts must be slow and brown.

57:40.460 --> 57:43.460
Oh no no no no driver.

57:43.460 --> 57:45.460
Oh you shouldn't look at this street. It's a dog street.

57:45.460 --> 57:49.460
The place of our love and laughter. I can't bear this. I can't, I can't.

57:49.460 --> 57:52.460
Even with my hands tight, tight over my eyes I can see it.

57:52.460 --> 57:54.460
I can feel it in my heart.

57:54.460 --> 57:58.460
This street of Wall Street. I know it as I know my hands.

57:58.460 --> 58:00.460
As I know his face.

58:00.460 --> 58:03.460
Oh why can't I die in the past?

58:03.460 --> 58:05.460
It's like a vision that won't leave me.

58:05.460 --> 58:08.460
We must be passing the little Florida shop now.

58:08.460 --> 58:12.460
He used to buy me little yellow, creme rosé.

58:12.460 --> 58:15.460
And now I can't bear having flowers near me.

58:15.460 --> 58:18.460
Then after the floor is the apartment house.

58:18.460 --> 58:22.460
And in front of the biggest one, the gold dome but who never smiles.

58:22.460 --> 58:26.460
And then the small house that the baby carries forever in the sun.

58:26.460 --> 58:31.460
And that little starfish of a hand reaching up to his when each doctor smiled at it.

58:31.460 --> 58:33.460
Then the doctor's house.

58:33.460 --> 58:36.460
And the three little Fenway houses after it.

58:36.460 --> 58:39.460
And then oh God, our house.

58:39.460 --> 58:43.460
Our house, though we only had the top four.

58:43.460 --> 58:46.460
I used to lean out the window to catch the last wave each morning.

58:46.460 --> 58:49.460
Barely able to see it because of the big field.

58:49.460 --> 58:53.460
Our field causing. Our personal field.

58:53.460 --> 58:56.460
Oh no, no one could bear this, no one.

58:56.460 --> 58:58.460
Why must I be driven through here? Why?

58:58.460 --> 59:01.460
Why torture could there be so terrible as this?

59:01.460 --> 59:03.460
Why do we move so slowly?

59:03.460 --> 59:05.460
It would be better if I uncover my eyes and look.

59:05.460 --> 59:07.460
Maybe that'll end it.

59:07.460 --> 59:10.460
I'll see our tree in our house again.

59:10.460 --> 59:13.460
And then my heart can burst and I'll be dead.

59:13.460 --> 59:15.460
Dead forever as soon as I look.

59:15.460 --> 59:17.460
I must look.

59:26.460 --> 59:28.460
But the tree is gone.

59:28.460 --> 59:29.460
It's gone.

59:29.460 --> 59:31.460
And they've cut down our tree.

59:31.460 --> 59:32.460
Our tree.

59:32.460 --> 59:34.460
Where the apartment house is.

59:34.460 --> 59:35.460
Where the floor is shut and our house.

59:35.460 --> 59:36.460
Where's our house?

59:36.460 --> 59:38.460
Where, Drava, what tree is it?

59:38.460 --> 59:40.460
Sixty-two.

59:40.460 --> 59:41.460
Oh.

59:41.460 --> 59:42.460
Oh, nothing.

59:42.460 --> 59:43.460
I'm sorry.

59:43.460 --> 59:44.460
Thank you, Drava.

59:44.460 --> 01:00:10.460
I just, I thought it was sixty-two.

01:00:10.460 --> 01:00:13.460
Here's a word from RCA Victor.

01:00:13.460 --> 01:00:17.460
If you're the head of a family, please come close for a moment.

01:00:17.460 --> 01:00:20.460
How would you like to become a hero overnight?

01:00:20.460 --> 01:00:25.460
How would you like to be more popular than Santa Claus with your wife, your children, and your neighbors?

01:00:25.460 --> 01:00:32.460
How would you like to treat yourself and them to top-flight entertainment of every variety every day in the year for years to come?

01:00:32.460 --> 01:00:34.460
You would?

01:00:34.460 --> 01:00:37.460
Then you have a date tomorrow with your RCA Victor dealer.

01:00:37.460 --> 01:00:43.460
A date to pick out the RCA Victor television set that's perfect for your family and your finances.

01:00:43.460 --> 01:00:55.460
You'll have your choice of eighteen beautiful new RCA Victor models of all sizes and styles, with luxurious cabinets, thrilling sound, superb pictures and television.

01:00:55.460 --> 01:01:00.460
Whichever size and style you pick, you'll get million-proof quality.

01:01:00.460 --> 01:01:06.460
The incomparable quality which has made RCA Victor far and away America's favorite television.

01:01:06.460 --> 01:01:11.460
See your RCA Victor dealer for your million-proof masterpiece tomorrow.

01:01:11.460 --> 01:01:32.460
And now, ladies and gentlemen, I want you to meet Metro Govan Mayor's beautiful and talented young singing star, Mr. Jane Powell.

01:01:32.460 --> 01:01:35.460
Jane, what's exciting out at the MGM these days, huh?

01:01:35.460 --> 01:01:38.460
Oh, we're all excited about the new Technicolor picture King Solomon's mind.

01:01:38.460 --> 01:01:39.460
Oh.

01:01:39.460 --> 01:01:42.460
Dying Deborah Carr and Stuart Granger.

01:01:42.460 --> 01:01:44.460
Oh.

01:01:44.460 --> 01:01:47.460
Oh, yes, I've heard it, wonderful darling. Oh, you know Groucho Marx, don't you?

01:01:47.460 --> 01:01:48.460
Yes, I do, it's fair.

01:01:48.460 --> 01:01:51.460
Then I'm sure you don't want to speak to him.

01:01:51.460 --> 01:01:54.460
Meredith, how about some music for Jane?

01:01:54.460 --> 01:02:11.460
It's a most unusual day, feel like throwing my worries away.

01:02:11.460 --> 01:02:19.460
As an old Navy-born Californian would say, it's a most unusual day.

01:02:19.460 --> 01:02:26.460
There's a most unusual sky, not a sign of a cloud passing by.

01:02:26.460 --> 01:02:33.460
And if I want to sing from my heart in the ring, it's a most unusual day.

01:02:33.460 --> 01:02:40.460
There are people, meeting people, there is sunshine everywhere.

01:02:40.460 --> 01:02:48.460
There are people, grieving people, and a feeling of spring in the air.

01:02:48.460 --> 01:02:55.460
It's a most unusual time, I keep feeling my temperature climb.

01:02:55.460 --> 01:03:02.460
If my heart won't behave in the usual way, there's only one thing to say.

01:03:02.460 --> 01:03:14.460
It's a most unusual month, unusual month, unusual day.

01:03:14.460 --> 01:03:21.460
There are people, meeting people, there is sunshine everywhere.

01:03:21.460 --> 01:03:29.460
There are people, grieving people, and a feeling of spring in the air.

01:03:29.460 --> 01:03:36.460
It's a most unusual time, I keep feeling my temperature climb.

01:03:36.460 --> 01:03:44.460
If my heart won't behave in the usual way, there's only one thing to say.

01:03:44.460 --> 01:03:54.460
It's a most unusual, it's a most unusual, so unusual, so unusual.

01:03:54.460 --> 01:04:08.460
There's love everywhere on this earth, unusual day.

01:04:08.460 --> 01:04:12.460
Bravo, Mr. Bravo.

01:04:12.460 --> 01:04:14.460
Yes, not only Bravo, but it's you.

01:04:14.460 --> 01:04:17.460
Well, thank you, Miss Bankhead, and you too, Mr. Mark.

01:04:17.460 --> 01:04:18.460
Just call me Tallulah.

01:04:18.460 --> 01:04:19.460
All right, Tallulah.

01:04:19.460 --> 01:04:23.460
And now, Miss Powell, may I call you William?

01:04:23.460 --> 01:04:26.460
Roger, why don't you go out and get ready for the quiz show?

01:04:26.460 --> 01:04:31.460
We're going to do it as soon as Jimmy Roddington makes a statement that he seems to be bursting to make.

01:04:31.460 --> 01:04:37.460
Well, what I wanted to say, Miss Bankhead, was that this portion of the program was brought to you by the Whitehall Pharmacal Company,

01:04:37.460 --> 01:04:47.460
makers of Anison, Collinose, Bicidol, and other fine drug products, and by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television.

01:04:47.460 --> 01:04:50.460
And now, Miss Bankhead, would you like to ring your chimes?

01:04:50.460 --> 01:04:57.460
Of course, Jimmy. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.

01:04:57.460 --> 01:05:20.460
You Bet Your Life, starring radio's funniest quiz master. And here he is, the one and only, they used to be poor, Groucho Marx.

01:05:20.460 --> 01:05:25.460
Well, here we are, ready to play You Bet Your Life, and here's your announcer to explain the rules of the game.

01:05:25.460 --> 01:05:26.460
Well, folks, it's very simple.

01:05:26.460 --> 01:05:30.460
Simple? I've been doing it for four years, I still don't understand it.

01:05:30.460 --> 01:05:32.460
Each couple in our contest gets $20.

01:05:32.460 --> 01:05:36.460
Some deal. Unemployment insurance gives you $26.

01:05:36.460 --> 01:05:43.460
Each couple can bet as much of the $20 as they like. And the amount bet is added on to the original $20, and they can bet as much of that as they like,

01:05:43.460 --> 01:05:50.460
which is again added consecutively to the original amounts, which have been varied each time, depending on the amount you have bet or have not bet before.

01:05:50.460 --> 01:05:53.460
The Einstein theory is relatively easy.

01:05:53.460 --> 01:06:00.460
And here's our first couple, Groucho, a father and daughter. Mr. Higgins and Baby Snooks meet Groucho Marx.

01:06:00.460 --> 01:06:04.460
Well, hello, little girl. Your name is Baby Snooks?

01:06:04.460 --> 01:06:05.460
Yes, sir.

01:06:05.460 --> 01:06:07.460
Are you a good little girl?

01:06:07.460 --> 01:06:08.460
Yes, sir.

01:06:08.460 --> 01:06:10.460
And this is your father?

01:06:10.460 --> 01:06:11.460
Yes, sir.

01:06:11.460 --> 01:06:12.460
Hello.

01:06:12.460 --> 01:06:15.460
Hello, Mr. Higgins. I want to welcome you to You Bet Your Life.

01:06:15.460 --> 01:06:19.460
Wait a minute, mister. Where's my money?

01:06:19.460 --> 01:06:21.460
Money? What money?

01:06:21.460 --> 01:06:26.460
I answered three questions, and you didn't pay me any money yet.

01:06:26.460 --> 01:06:34.460
Isn't she cute? Why don't you shut up?

01:06:34.460 --> 01:06:37.460
Hit him, Daddy.

01:06:37.460 --> 01:06:42.460
Snooks, stop that. I'm sorry, Mr. Marx, she doesn't understand the rules of the game.

01:06:42.460 --> 01:06:47.460
And she's smarter than I thought she was. Now tell me, how long have you two been married?

01:06:47.460 --> 01:06:49.460
We ain't married.

01:06:49.460 --> 01:06:50.460
You ain't?

01:06:50.460 --> 01:06:55.460
No, he's my daddy. We ain't even engaged.

01:06:55.460 --> 01:06:58.460
Mr. Higgins, you mean this is your daughter?

01:06:58.460 --> 01:06:59.460
Yes.

01:06:59.460 --> 01:07:01.460
And you're still speaking to your wife?

01:07:01.460 --> 01:07:07.460
What? Now just a darn minute. You can't talk that way about my daughter.

01:07:07.460 --> 01:07:17.460
Why not? I've got a daughter myself. Well, I really shouldn't say I've got a myself. I had a little help.

01:07:17.460 --> 01:07:23.460
Yes, we can't ignore our wives, can we? No, but I have no respect for a man who doesn't try.

01:07:23.460 --> 01:07:25.460
Well, Daddy.

01:07:25.460 --> 01:07:26.460
What?

01:07:26.460 --> 01:07:30.460
Then, um, I've got a wish for something.

01:07:30.460 --> 01:07:34.460
All right, what?

01:07:34.460 --> 01:07:39.460
Now why couldn't you think of that when we were still in the hall?

01:07:39.460 --> 01:07:46.460
I wasn't thirsty.

01:07:46.460 --> 01:07:50.460
Well, this child will obviously grow up to be another Tallulah banker.

01:07:50.460 --> 01:07:54.460
In fact, there's children like this that's giving marriage a bad name.

01:07:54.460 --> 01:07:56.460
Aw, go on. Hit him, Daddy.

01:07:56.460 --> 01:07:58.460
Please, Higgins, I wish you'd curb your child.

01:07:58.460 --> 01:07:59.460
But how?

01:07:59.460 --> 01:08:02.460
Well, the best place would be out in the street.

01:08:02.460 --> 01:08:08.460
Well, let's dash ahead. And I'd like to dash first. I thought I could get away with it.

01:08:08.460 --> 01:08:13.460
Anyway, we're ready to play You Bet Your Life. Mr. Einstein has explained the rules to you,

01:08:13.460 --> 01:08:17.460
and I see you have chosen Presidents of the United States as your category.

01:08:17.460 --> 01:08:20.460
Now how much of the $20 will you bet on your first question?

01:08:20.460 --> 01:08:24.460
A penny.

01:08:24.460 --> 01:08:25.460
A penny?

01:08:25.460 --> 01:08:26.460
Mm-hmm.

01:08:26.460 --> 01:08:32.460
Oh, Snokes, no. We have $20 to bet. We're not going to bet a penny. Let's bet the whole $20.

01:08:32.460 --> 01:08:35.460
$20? Are you talking about dollars?

01:08:35.460 --> 01:08:37.460
I'm not talking cents.

01:08:37.460 --> 01:08:39.460
You sure ain't.

01:08:39.460 --> 01:08:45.460
All right, then let's really bet big. Let's bet $30.

01:08:45.460 --> 01:08:49.460
Look, little girl, and I use the word loosely.

01:08:49.460 --> 01:08:52.460
You only have $20, so how can you bet $30?

01:08:52.460 --> 01:08:57.460
Unless, of course, you expect to do it on credit, and frankly, you don't look too honest.

01:08:57.460 --> 01:09:01.460
You've got a fairly ugly little kisser.

01:09:01.460 --> 01:09:03.460
Now, just a minute. I resent that.

01:09:03.460 --> 01:09:04.460
Do you deny it?

01:09:04.460 --> 01:09:08.460
No, I just resent it.

01:09:08.460 --> 01:09:13.460
Now let's get back to where we were, which is about as boring a place as I can think of.

01:09:13.460 --> 01:09:16.460
Now how can you bet $30 when you've only got $20?

01:09:16.460 --> 01:09:18.460
Well, my daddy's got some money, haven't you, Daddy?

01:09:18.460 --> 01:09:20.460
No, I haven't.

01:09:20.460 --> 01:09:23.460
Daddy, I saw you take $50 out of Mama's slacks this morning.

01:09:23.460 --> 01:09:25.460
Oh, shh. Quiet.

01:09:25.460 --> 01:09:27.460
That's it.

01:09:27.460 --> 01:09:29.460
And I'm going to tell Mommy that...

01:09:29.460 --> 01:09:31.460
All right, all right.

01:09:31.460 --> 01:09:33.460
Yes, I will.

01:09:33.460 --> 01:09:37.460
If she wants to bet $30, I'll put up the other $10.

01:09:37.460 --> 01:09:40.460
You mean you'll pay me $10 of your own if she doesn't know the answer to the question?

01:09:40.460 --> 01:09:42.460
Yes.

01:09:42.460 --> 01:09:44.460
That's a pretty unbelievable thing to have happen.

01:09:44.460 --> 01:09:48.460
Then so is your daughter.

01:09:48.460 --> 01:09:51.460
Well, anyway, here's the question for $30.

01:09:51.460 --> 01:09:54.460
What is the name of the second president of the United States?

01:09:54.460 --> 01:09:55.460
The second president?

01:09:55.460 --> 01:09:59.460
Yes, and I'll give you a hint. His first name was George.

01:09:59.460 --> 01:10:02.460
I know. George Washington.

01:10:02.460 --> 01:10:08.460
I'm sorry. It's John Adams.

01:10:08.460 --> 01:10:10.460
But you told her the first name was George.

01:10:10.460 --> 01:10:14.460
I'm sorry. I was wrong.

01:10:14.460 --> 01:10:17.460
Now you owe me $10.

01:10:17.460 --> 01:10:18.460
I won't pay it.

01:10:18.460 --> 01:10:21.460
All right, then. I'm going to tell Mommy that you took all that money...

01:10:21.460 --> 01:10:23.460
All right, all right.

01:10:23.460 --> 01:10:24.460
Here's the $10.

01:10:24.460 --> 01:10:28.460
You know, this is the first time I've understood this program.

01:10:28.460 --> 01:10:30.460
Come on, Snooks. Let's get out of here.

01:10:30.460 --> 01:10:35.460
No, we won't, Daddy. I'm mad at him and I want to win his money.

01:10:35.460 --> 01:10:37.460
Of course, I hate him.

01:10:37.460 --> 01:10:40.460
You hate me? Please don't say that.

01:10:40.460 --> 01:10:44.460
It's a set rule on radio that all Quizmasters must be known as lovable.

01:10:44.460 --> 01:10:48.460
I'll tell you what. If I like you, would you like me?

01:10:48.460 --> 01:10:50.460
Well, all right.

01:10:50.460 --> 01:10:53.460
Fine. Now we like each other, right?

01:10:53.460 --> 01:10:55.460
Right. But you know something?

01:10:55.460 --> 01:10:56.460
What?

01:10:56.460 --> 01:11:00.460
I like you better when I hate you.

01:11:00.460 --> 01:11:05.460
Well, I don't really care if people hate me as long as they think I'm lovable.

01:11:05.460 --> 01:11:06.460
Now, where were we?

01:11:06.460 --> 01:11:11.460
Well, we want to bet you some more money. My daddy still got $40 left.

01:11:11.460 --> 01:11:12.460
Snooks, no!

01:11:12.460 --> 01:11:15.460
But I told you to take it out of Mommy's pocket.

01:11:15.460 --> 01:11:17.460
Your Mommy sounds like she's got a great pocket.

01:11:17.460 --> 01:11:20.460
Wouldn't mind reaching in there myself sometime.

01:11:20.460 --> 01:11:24.460
Please, Mr. Marks, you should have a little respect for my wife.

01:11:24.460 --> 01:11:27.460
I do. I have very little respect for her.

01:11:27.460 --> 01:11:30.460
Particularly since I've gotten a load of you two.

01:11:30.460 --> 01:11:31.460
Now, let's proceed.

01:11:31.460 --> 01:11:36.460
All right. I want to ask you a question, and we'll bet $40.

01:11:36.460 --> 01:11:37.460
Snooks!

01:11:37.460 --> 01:11:38.460
Oh, you're going to ask me a question?

01:11:38.460 --> 01:11:42.460
Yes, I am. And I'll bet you $40.

01:11:42.460 --> 01:11:49.460
Little does she know that I have earned my power, for I am the master of the quiz, and soon I shall have all her money.

01:11:49.460 --> 01:11:54.460
Are you ready for the question, mister?

01:11:54.460 --> 01:11:55.460
Okay.

01:11:55.460 --> 01:11:59.460
All right. Please pronounce the word T-O.

01:11:59.460 --> 01:12:01.460
T-O... two.

01:12:01.460 --> 01:12:02.460
Right.

01:12:02.460 --> 01:12:04.460
That's right. Taking money from a baby.

01:12:04.460 --> 01:12:08.460
Now pronounce T-W.

01:12:08.460 --> 01:12:09.460
Two.

01:12:09.460 --> 01:12:12.460
Now pronounce the second day of the week.

01:12:12.460 --> 01:12:15.460
Second day of the week. Just a moment.

01:12:15.460 --> 01:12:17.460
Now, this is the one with the cat in it.

01:12:17.460 --> 01:12:19.460
She wants me to say Tuesday.

01:12:19.460 --> 01:12:22.460
But the correct way to say it is cheese day.

01:12:22.460 --> 01:12:25.460
But I'm sure she always says Tuesday.

01:12:25.460 --> 01:12:31.460
So if I say cheese day, she'll say I'm wrong, because it's cheese day.

01:12:31.460 --> 01:12:35.460
So I'll say Tuesday.

01:12:35.460 --> 01:12:36.460
Wrong. We win.

01:12:36.460 --> 01:12:37.460
I mean Tuesday.

01:12:37.460 --> 01:12:38.460
Wrong. We win.

01:12:38.460 --> 01:12:40.460
Wait a minute. I say Tuesday.

01:12:40.460 --> 01:12:43.460
Wrong again. The second day of the week is Monday.

01:12:43.460 --> 01:12:44.460
Take the money, Daddy.

01:12:44.460 --> 01:12:47.460
Wrong again.

01:12:53.460 --> 01:12:57.460
Well, Groucho, our next contestants are an actress and an orchestra leader.

01:12:57.460 --> 01:13:00.460
Mr. Lula Bankhead and Mr. Meredith Wilson. Meet Groucho Mark.

01:13:00.460 --> 01:13:01.460
Welcome to Your Bet Your Life.

01:13:01.460 --> 01:13:06.460
An actress, Miss Tallulah Bankhead. That's a rather unusual name, isn't it?

01:13:06.460 --> 01:13:08.460
Which one, Tallulah Bankhead?

01:13:08.460 --> 01:13:12.460
I mean the miss, an attractive girl like you not married.

01:13:12.460 --> 01:13:14.460
I am married to the fyrher.

01:13:14.460 --> 01:13:19.460
Well, congratulations. May all your dressing rooms be little ones.

01:13:23.460 --> 01:13:26.460
With running water, preferably.

01:13:26.460 --> 01:13:30.460
That's an Indian I used to know. Are you a...

01:13:32.460 --> 01:13:34.460
Are you a movie actress?

01:13:34.460 --> 01:13:38.460
I'm an actress of the legitimate theater, the theater of Helen Hayes, Laine Fontaine, Catherine Cornell.

01:13:38.460 --> 01:13:48.460
Well, we have a few great actresses in the movies, too. Livia Haviland, Greer Garson, and tell me, when have you seen as great an actress as Betty Davis in All About Eve?

01:13:48.460 --> 01:13:51.460
Every morning when I brush my teeth.

01:13:58.460 --> 01:14:00.460
What I started to ask you was, what play were you ever in?

01:14:00.460 --> 01:14:08.460
What play? Why, I have been in Let It Be Gay, The Little Foxes, The Green Hat, A Cardboard Lover, Lady of the Chameleons, Rain, Private Lives.

01:14:08.460 --> 01:14:12.460
Pretty long Tallulah play. No wonder it closed.

01:14:12.460 --> 01:14:16.460
Tell me, Miss Bankhead, while you're out here in Hollywood, why don't you try going into the movies?

01:14:16.460 --> 01:14:18.460
I have been in movies. I made a picture called Lifeboat.

01:14:18.460 --> 01:14:20.460
Lifeboat? With Raph?

01:14:23.460 --> 01:14:26.460
I'm your guest, I laugh politely.

01:14:26.460 --> 01:14:33.460
Mr. Wilson, let me get to you. You're an orchestra leader? Just what instrument couldn't you master that made you become an orchestra leader?

01:14:33.460 --> 01:14:35.460
Well, most all of them, I guess.

01:14:35.460 --> 01:14:38.460
Well, where did you start your career as an orchestra leader?

01:14:38.460 --> 01:14:44.460
Oh, well, I started out originally in a little town in Iowa. Mason City, Iowa, to be exact.

01:14:44.460 --> 01:14:49.460
Well, a lot of great orchestra leaders started out in small towns. There was Abe Lyman of Illinois.

01:14:51.460 --> 01:14:54.460
Later became president, I hear.

01:14:54.460 --> 01:14:56.460
That must have been before Patrillo.

01:14:56.460 --> 01:14:59.460
Everything has been before Patrillo.

01:15:00.460 --> 01:15:04.460
Yes, I guess so. Miss Bankhead, let's get back to that Broadway play, the one with the long title.

01:15:04.460 --> 01:15:07.460
That was not one play. Those plays represent my career in the theater.

01:15:07.460 --> 01:15:11.460
Great plays by great playwrights who were gracious enough to make me the star of their work.

01:15:11.460 --> 01:15:13.460
And for whom I toured this country over.

01:15:13.460 --> 01:15:19.460
Acclaimed by the critics, hated by the public in every town in Hamlet who packed the theater to the rock for to see my performances.

01:15:19.460 --> 01:15:24.460
Except for Super Oklahoma.

01:15:30.460 --> 01:15:34.460
That is certainly a novel pronunciation.

01:15:37.460 --> 01:15:39.460
What happened there, Miss Bankhead?

01:15:39.460 --> 01:15:43.460
I'm better, David.

01:15:43.460 --> 01:15:49.460
Oh, tell me, Miss Bankhead, do you think I could be an actor in the theater?

01:15:49.460 --> 01:15:52.460
Anyone who can become an actor, I suppose, would be great from the supper.

01:15:52.460 --> 01:15:57.460
I've had to wrestle with every part I'm asked to. I've had to wrestle with every motion known to man.

01:15:57.460 --> 01:16:00.460
Is there any method by which you can learn this acting profession?

01:16:00.460 --> 01:16:02.460
I use the Stanislavski method.

01:16:02.460 --> 01:16:03.460
Stanislavski?

01:16:03.460 --> 01:16:05.460
Constantine Stanislavski.

01:16:05.460 --> 01:16:08.460
Oh, yes, good wrestler, that Stanislavski.

01:16:08.460 --> 01:16:10.460
How about you and me doing a little wrestling?

01:16:10.460 --> 01:16:13.460
I mean a little scene from something and see if I have any acting talent.

01:16:13.460 --> 01:16:15.460
Well, what do you know?

01:16:15.460 --> 01:16:17.460
Oh, not much. What do you know?

01:16:17.460 --> 01:16:20.460
What I mean is, are you familiar with the line from many great plays?

01:16:20.460 --> 01:16:25.460
Just some of the actresses. No, well, I know, I know come up and see me sometimes.

01:16:25.460 --> 01:16:29.460
Oh, no, dear. Well, we'll improvise. I do this quite often. It's great training.

01:16:29.460 --> 01:16:31.460
I mean, I was set the scene in the drawing room in London.

01:16:31.460 --> 01:16:36.460
Penelope, the wife, was telling Cyril, the husband, that she has fallen out of love with him and is leaving him for someone else.

01:16:36.460 --> 01:16:38.460
English drawing room drama. Are you ready?

01:16:38.460 --> 01:16:40.460
Quick.

01:16:40.460 --> 01:16:43.460
Cyril, you remember when we first decided to get married?

01:16:43.460 --> 01:16:47.460
We said that should be one of us tired of the other. That woman will tell the other.

01:16:47.460 --> 01:16:48.460
Quick.

01:16:48.460 --> 01:16:52.460
Cyril, I'm telling you now, I'm tired.

01:16:52.460 --> 01:16:54.460
Quite.

01:16:54.460 --> 01:16:56.460
I'm leaving you.

01:16:56.460 --> 01:16:57.460
Quite.

01:16:57.460 --> 01:17:01.460
This is the quietest part I ever had.

01:17:01.460 --> 01:17:05.460
Cyril, I have found happiness elsewhere, but you might peck what will become of you.

01:17:05.460 --> 01:17:12.460
Oh, don't worry about me, old girl. I shall probably end it all by leaping into the Thames River.

01:17:12.460 --> 01:17:16.460
Oh, Mr. Marks, it's pronounced Tens River.

01:17:16.460 --> 01:17:17.460
That's what the stormy good man.

01:17:17.460 --> 01:17:22.460
I shall leap into the Tens River.

01:17:22.460 --> 01:17:28.460
Look, you jump in the river you like and I'll jump in the one I like.

01:17:28.460 --> 01:17:32.460
Well, enough of this one-night stuff. Let's play you bet your life. Wilson, you can wake up now.

01:17:32.460 --> 01:17:36.460
Oh, I started out in Mason City, Iowa and I was...

01:17:36.460 --> 01:17:38.460
Now we're ready to play you bet your life.

01:17:38.460 --> 01:17:41.460
And I see you've chosen first names of famous movie stars.

01:17:41.460 --> 01:17:44.460
I'll give you the last name. You supply the first name.

01:17:44.460 --> 01:17:46.460
Now, how much are you going to bet on the first question?

01:17:46.460 --> 01:17:48.460
We'll bet the whole 20. Okay, Miss Bankhead?

01:17:48.460 --> 01:17:51.460
Press on, Meredith.

01:17:51.460 --> 01:17:55.460
Are you referring to his pants?

01:17:55.460 --> 01:17:58.460
Okay, for $20, what's his first name? His last name is Raines.

01:17:58.460 --> 01:17:59.460
Claude.

01:17:59.460 --> 01:18:00.460
Right, Claude Raines.

01:18:00.460 --> 01:18:03.460
Exactly what I was going to say, Matt. You took the word right out of my mouth.

01:18:03.460 --> 01:18:05.460
Okay, you now have $40. How much will you bet?

01:18:05.460 --> 01:18:06.460
$40.

01:18:06.460 --> 01:18:09.460
For $40, our last name was Palmer. Lily.

01:18:09.460 --> 01:18:11.460
That's right, that's right. Lily Palmer.

01:18:11.460 --> 01:18:14.460
Exactly what I was going to say, Matt. You see, you've beaten me to it by just two.

01:18:14.460 --> 01:18:16.460
And how much will you bet now? You have $80.

01:18:16.460 --> 01:18:17.460
I bet you $80.

01:18:17.460 --> 01:18:20.460
All right, for $80, his last name is Cliff.

01:18:20.460 --> 01:18:21.460
Montgomery.

01:18:21.460 --> 01:18:23.460
Correct, Montgomery Cliff. You now have $160.

01:18:23.460 --> 01:18:25.460
I was about to say that, Mr. Wilson, and you're too quick for me.

01:18:25.460 --> 01:18:28.460
All right, you take the next one. Let's bet the whole thing.

01:18:28.460 --> 01:18:30.460
All right.

01:18:30.460 --> 01:18:36.460
Very well. All right, now for $320, the movie actor whose last name is Stuart. What's his first name?

01:18:36.460 --> 01:18:38.460
I know James.

01:18:38.460 --> 01:18:40.460
I'm sorry, you lose. It's Thames.

01:18:40.460 --> 01:19:05.460
For our next couple groucho, we selected from our audience a plantation owner and a young singer. Mr. Agio Pinza, Miss Jane Powell. Folks, beat groucho Mark.

01:19:05.460 --> 01:19:10.460
Plantation owner and a young singer. Miss Powell, you're the plantation owner?

01:19:10.460 --> 01:19:12.460
No, I'm the young singer.

01:19:12.460 --> 01:19:14.460
I am the plantation owner.

01:19:14.460 --> 01:19:16.460
Oh, do you plant taters and do you plant cotton?

01:19:16.460 --> 01:19:17.460
I do.

01:19:17.460 --> 01:19:21.460
I now pronounce you Old Man Reba.

01:19:21.460 --> 01:19:24.460
Now, Miss Powell, what does a pretty girl like you do for a living?

01:19:24.460 --> 01:19:25.460
I work for MGM.

01:19:25.460 --> 01:19:29.460
I can't hear you. Would you mind stepping a little closer to the microphone?

01:19:29.460 --> 01:19:33.460
And second thought, forget the microphone. Just step a little closer to the quiz master.

01:19:33.460 --> 01:19:35.460
Which is which?

01:19:35.460 --> 01:19:38.460
Well, the microphone...

01:19:38.460 --> 01:19:42.460
The microphone has more holes in the head.

01:19:42.460 --> 01:19:47.460
Now, Miss Powell, as you know, this is a quiz program. So, what are you doing after the show?

01:19:47.460 --> 01:19:49.460
I'm busy.

01:19:49.460 --> 01:19:52.460
Let me put it this way. I can get you into pictures.

01:19:52.460 --> 01:19:54.460
Oh, I'm already in pictures.

01:19:54.460 --> 01:19:59.460
Well, let me put it this way. Can you get me into pictures?

01:19:59.460 --> 01:20:04.460
I am a plantation owner.

01:20:04.460 --> 01:20:07.460
Haven't you saw that thing yet?

01:20:07.460 --> 01:20:10.460
Oh, yes. Do you plant taters and do you plant cotton?

01:20:10.460 --> 01:20:11.460
That's right.

01:20:11.460 --> 01:20:14.460
Well, them net plants are soon forgotten.

01:20:14.460 --> 01:20:18.460
So, let's forget about you and get back to Miss Powell.

01:20:18.460 --> 01:20:20.460
Miss Powell, how old are you?

01:20:20.460 --> 01:20:21.460
Nineteen.

01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:23.460
You call that old?

01:20:23.460 --> 01:20:27.460
It brings us to Mr. Pinzer. Is that the way you pronounce it?

01:20:27.460 --> 01:20:29.460
That is right. It's your pinzer.

01:20:29.460 --> 01:20:30.460
How's that again?

01:20:30.460 --> 01:20:36.460
It's your... E-Z-I-O. It's your pinzer.

01:20:36.460 --> 01:20:43.460
P as in Peter. I-N-V-A. It's your pinzer.

01:20:43.460 --> 01:20:46.460
Tell me, Tom, you must have had a very...

01:20:46.460 --> 01:20:51.460
...

01:20:51.460 --> 01:20:55.460
You must have had a very interesting background. Now, tell us something about yourself.

01:20:55.460 --> 01:20:58.460
Don't you think Miss Powell is a beautiful girl?

01:20:58.460 --> 01:21:03.460
Yes, I do. But I thought you wanted to talk about my background.

01:21:03.460 --> 01:21:07.460
Well, with a background like Miss Powell's standing around, we should talk about yours.

01:21:07.460 --> 01:21:10.460
Oh, well. What is your background? How'd you start out?

01:21:10.460 --> 01:21:16.460
I started out in Italy as a professional bicycle rider. Then I worked with the opera in Milano.

01:21:16.460 --> 01:21:22.460
Then I went to the Metropolitan Opera in New York. And then I became plantation owner in San Francisco.

01:21:22.460 --> 01:21:25.460
Couldn't hold a job, eh?

01:21:25.460 --> 01:21:27.460
Well, all right now. We're ready to play You Bet Your Life.

01:21:27.460 --> 01:21:30.460
I see you have chosen songs for your category.

01:21:30.460 --> 01:21:32.460
Oh, it's...

01:21:32.460 --> 01:21:42.460
Now, you have $20 between you to bet. Miss Powell has 17 and Tom, you have 3.

01:21:42.460 --> 01:21:45.460
Now, I'll sing the beginning of a song and you have to finish it. Ready?

01:21:45.460 --> 01:21:47.460
How much of your 20 will you bet?

01:21:47.460 --> 01:21:49.460
I will bet $10.

01:21:49.460 --> 01:21:53.460
Very well. For $10, sing the rest of the song that starts out this way.

01:21:53.460 --> 01:21:55.460
One...

01:21:55.460 --> 01:21:57.460
Is that all you're going to sing up?

01:21:57.460 --> 01:22:01.460
That's all. One...

01:22:01.460 --> 01:22:03.460
And no hint in the audience for you.

01:22:03.460 --> 01:22:05.460
I know what that is.

01:22:05.460 --> 01:22:24.460
One dream in my heart, one love to be living for, one love to be living for.

01:22:24.460 --> 01:22:43.460
This nearly was mine, wonderful my dream, one partner in paradise, this promise of paradise.

01:22:43.460 --> 01:23:00.460
This nearly was mine, close to my heart it came, only to fly away, only to fly and say,

01:23:00.460 --> 01:23:22.460
like the moonlight, now I'm alone, still dreaming of paradise, still saying that paradise once

01:23:22.460 --> 01:23:35.460
gave me hope of all.

01:23:35.460 --> 01:23:38.460
No, I'm sorry, but that's the wrong answer, the song that starts with one.

01:23:38.460 --> 01:23:43.460
The song I was thinking of was, wonder who's kissing her now?

01:23:43.460 --> 01:23:46.460
Now you have $10 left. How much of the $10 do you want to bet?

01:23:46.460 --> 01:23:47.460
All of it.

01:23:47.460 --> 01:23:52.460
All right, finish the song that starts with sweet.

01:23:52.460 --> 01:23:53.460
Sweet?

01:23:53.460 --> 01:23:55.460
That's right, sweet.

01:23:55.460 --> 01:24:00.460
Oh, I've got it.

01:24:00.460 --> 01:24:29.460
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart, will you love me ever, will you remember the day when we were happy in May, my dear, this one?

01:24:29.460 --> 01:24:57.460
Sweetheart, sweetheart, sweetheart, though our paths may sever, through life's last spring ender, will you remember?

01:24:57.460 --> 01:25:14.460
I'll love you ever.

01:25:14.460 --> 01:25:16.460
Roger, come over here. I love you, Billy.

01:25:16.460 --> 01:25:20.460
No, no, no, I'm sorry, but you're wrong, you're wrong.

01:25:20.460 --> 01:25:24.460
Wrong? But what is the song that starts with sweet?

01:25:24.460 --> 01:25:25.460
What's that?

01:25:25.460 --> 01:25:27.460
What is the song that starts with sweet?

01:25:27.460 --> 01:25:32.460
Wait until she gets back.

01:25:32.460 --> 01:25:35.460
I'm sorry, but you're wrong, I'm going to keep saying that.

01:25:35.460 --> 01:25:38.460
Wrong? But what is the song that starts with sweet?

01:25:38.460 --> 01:25:53.460
Candy and cake. I'm sorry you lost all your money, but for being such good sports, I'm going to give you each a DeSoto Plymouth car and a lifetime supply of money. Better luck next time.

01:25:53.460 --> 01:25:59.460
Come over here, Groucho. For an hour and a half, you've been bouncing through this show, darling.

01:25:59.460 --> 01:26:01.460
I'm hoping the check doesn't do the same.

01:26:01.460 --> 01:26:03.460
You say I don't know about you.

01:26:03.460 --> 01:26:06.460
I don't know about you, but the rest of my script is blank, white paper.

01:26:06.460 --> 01:26:07.460
Yes, we're a little short.

01:26:07.460 --> 01:26:12.460
Yes, we're a little short, folks, so hello. I could fill in here, would you like to have me sing another song?

01:26:12.460 --> 01:26:14.460
Oh no, my pet, I don't think so.

01:26:14.460 --> 01:26:15.460
You don't like my singing?

01:26:15.460 --> 01:26:18.460
Well, you must admit the singing is not your fort.

01:26:18.460 --> 01:26:23.460
I wish Knox were my fort.

01:26:23.460 --> 01:26:28.460
Well, that's the sort of thing you do best, Groucho, jokes. You've heard the old saying, she'll make a stick to your lard.

01:26:28.460 --> 01:26:29.460
No, how does it go?

01:26:29.460 --> 01:26:33.460
That's it, though. It means you should stick to what you do best.

01:26:33.460 --> 01:26:37.460
I see. What are you doing after the show?

01:26:37.460 --> 01:26:42.460
Darling, you don't seem to understand. I mean, you're a divine comedian, but your singing voice really, Groucho.

01:26:42.460 --> 01:26:47.460
I was going to bring this up, but as long as we have blank, white paper here, I heard you sing on the show last week.

01:26:47.460 --> 01:26:50.460
Oh, do you mean when I say I give my regards to Broadway?

01:26:50.460 --> 01:26:53.460
I've got news for you. Broadway refused them.

01:26:58.460 --> 01:27:01.460
And Harold Square turned them down, too.

01:27:01.460 --> 01:27:04.460
I don't go talking about my voice. How about your voice?

01:27:04.460 --> 01:27:06.460
Just a minute, Costella.

01:27:06.460 --> 01:27:08.460
Have you been at it all this time?

01:27:08.460 --> 01:27:11.460
I have. Everywhere they've said that I have a sterling voice.

01:27:11.460 --> 01:27:13.460
Flatware, eh?

01:27:13.460 --> 01:27:14.460
Me? Flat?

01:27:14.460 --> 01:27:17.460
Okay, meet me at me flat right after the show.

01:27:17.460 --> 01:27:22.460
After all, darling, I just wrote an article on music in this month's Square magazine, an article about Louis Armstrong.

01:27:22.460 --> 01:27:24.460
Why should I discuss music with you?

01:27:24.460 --> 01:27:27.460
I started out with the Metropolitan Opera Company in New York.

01:27:27.460 --> 01:27:30.460
A prize in each and every package.

01:27:30.460 --> 01:27:35.460
Well, I'll leave it to Meredith Wilson. He should know. He's a musician. Meredith, my sweet, come here. Tell me the truth.

01:27:35.460 --> 01:27:38.460
Now, what did you think of my singing last week? Be brutally frank.

01:27:38.460 --> 01:27:40.460
Brutal.

01:27:40.460 --> 01:27:43.460
Well, darling, if you'd only played in the right key.

01:27:43.460 --> 01:27:45.460
Well, if you'd let me have your key.

01:27:45.460 --> 01:27:48.460
I give my key to no man.

01:27:48.460 --> 01:27:52.460
Well, Miss Bankett, how can I play the song for you if I don't know what key it's in?

01:27:52.460 --> 01:27:56.460
Well, no one has ever complained to my voice before. I wish you'd hear me in the shower.

01:27:56.460 --> 01:28:00.460
And this is the dame who'd give her a key to no man.

01:28:00.460 --> 01:28:08.460
Now, do me a favor, Meredith. Would you ask your officer if they would play Give My Regards to Broadway? I want to sing it again right now. Now, just to prove a point to Mr. Watt.

01:28:08.460 --> 01:28:14.460
Certainly, gentlemen. Would you play Give My Regards to Broadway for Miss Bankett? She wants to sing it again to prove a point to Mr. Watt.

01:28:14.460 --> 01:28:16.460
Oh, no.

01:28:16.460 --> 01:28:18.460
Boy, for me.

01:28:18.460 --> 01:28:40.460
Oh, my darling.

01:28:40.460 --> 01:28:48.460
Give my regards to Broadway. Remember me to her, I swear.

01:28:48.460 --> 01:28:54.460
Oh, darling, until next week, bring your diplomacy from the Senate Senate in New York.

01:28:54.460 --> 01:29:10.460
Thank you very much.
