Hello everyone and welcome. In today's movie from 1932 called Back Street we better get out the Kleenex, because we're gonna need a whole box. Our story takes place in Cincinnati, let's say 1920s. We find a young girl named Ray. Now Ray works in her father's shop. Nothing wrong with this except Ray is what one would call a party girl. Not just weekends for her, she parties seven days a week. A free spirit one could say. Ray also dates for fun, much to the disapproval of her father and stepmother. Then along comes Kurt, who owns his own shop and falls hard for Ray. Unfortunately Ray does not feel the same way towards Kurt. BIG MISTAKE, well that's how I at least feel. One day while hanging out with Kurt, Ray meets handsome Walter Saxel and sparks fly. But Walter is already engaged to someone else. Walter is hopeful that the two can be together if he can just get her to meet his mother. Well I think you can kind of guess where this is going and keep the Kleenex on stand by. One thing leads to another and Ray can't make it to meet his mother, simply because she has a sister who needed some serious help. Years past and wouldn't you know it they run into one another again. Sparks start flying again. Will they be together, will Ray accept Walter idea of a relationship, will his children accept her or will Ray and Walter have their own Romeo and Juliet style ending. Oh this story is really something for 1932. It was made pre-code and based on the book by Fannie Hurst, remakes were made in 41 and again in 61. Staring in this sad tale we have...the lovely Irene Dunne as Ray, George Meeker as Kurt, John Boles as Walter, ZaSu Pitts as Mrs. Dole, June Clyde as Freda, William Bakewell as Richard "Dick" Saxel, Arletta Duncan as Beth, Shirley Grey as Francine, Doris Lloyd as Corinne, Paul Weigel as her father Adolph, Jane Darwell as his wife, James Donlan as Phothero, Walter Catlett as Bakeless, Robert McWade as Uncle Felix and Maude Turner Gordon as Walter's mother. So let's make some Suffering Bastard cocktails (yes it's a real cocktail) and try not to cry into them. Also thanks so much for watching.

00:00:00The End
00:00:30The End
00:01:00Now he opens the door and there she stands, huh?
00:01:09How do you like that one, Ray?
00:01:12Well, here's two of you, Ray.
00:01:21Now you're a good girl, Ray.
00:01:30Now you're a good girl.
00:01:59You know you're a funny kid, Ray. You give a fellow all the rope in the world and...
00:02:13Yeah, and the first thing he does is hang himself with him.
00:02:17Ah, come on, Ray. Be a sweet kid, will you? Let you and me have a little fun. Huh? What do you say?
00:02:26Well...
00:02:28Gee, that's great. I'll tell you what we'll do. I know a little hotel down the road here.
00:02:34Come on, let's go. Just a few months.
00:02:51Hello there, Ray. Hello, yourself.
00:02:55How's it by you? Well.
00:02:56Hello. What are you doing holding her on?
00:02:59Just came over to get a little peek at you.
00:03:01Oh.
00:03:07Who is she?
00:03:09Ray Smith.
00:03:10Toniest girl in Cincinnati.
00:03:12I'll say she is.
00:03:14Ah, what do you say, Ray?
00:03:16Ah, listen. I knew who Santa Claus was a long time before I met you, and that was five years ago.
00:03:23I think you're pretty smart, aren't you?
00:03:26I don't have to be smart to handle you traveling salesmen. I'm two laps ahead of you all the time.
00:03:31Yeah?
00:03:32Good.
00:03:32All right.
00:03:33All right. Get this.
00:03:42Why, why? What's the matter? I was only fooling.
00:03:46I said no. You're not going out nights with any young man unless you have a chaperone.
00:03:51I said no. You're not going out nights with any young man unless you have a chaperone.
00:04:10Over the Rhine is no place for any nice young girl.
00:04:13Would you let Ray go?
00:04:15Well, Ray Schmidt is not my daughter. She's only my stepdaughter.
00:04:20So, of course, I have no jurisdiction over her.
00:04:23That's a big word, Lena.
00:04:25It's a good word, even if it is big.
00:04:27And I say it again, if Ray Schmidt were my daughter,
00:04:31she wouldn't be running the streets at night like some flibbity gibbet.
00:04:34Why shouldn't she? She works hard in the store.
00:04:38When night comes...
00:04:39When night comes, she'd be better off at home with her family.
00:04:42Instead of chasing with drummers, like a fly up the creek.
00:04:47But girls of today have no joy in the simple pleasures of home.
00:04:52This younger generation is going to the dog.
00:04:56Ever since I can remember, the younger generation has been going to the dogs.
00:05:00Yet somehow it always manages to come out on top.
00:05:04I guess it would be always like that.
00:05:06Hello, everybody.
00:05:08Oh, hello, Kate.
00:05:12Say, is Ray home?
00:05:17Not yet.
00:05:19She went over to Over the Rhine.
00:05:23Still wasting your time with that crazy contraption?
00:05:25Well, what's crazy about it?
00:05:27My dear Kurt, I thought you were an intelligent boy.
00:05:31Automobiles.
00:05:32Five years from now, there won't be a sign of one.
00:05:35Oh, is that so?
00:05:36Well, there's a fellow out in Detroit who was manufacturing them by the dozen.
00:05:39What's his name?
00:05:40Henry Ford.
00:05:41Never heard of him.
00:05:42Oh, just the same.
00:05:43He's on his way to make a half a million dollars.
00:05:45Half a million dollars?
00:05:46Oh, you ever hear of anything so funny?
00:05:49Believe me.
00:05:50If I could buy any one of those consents, I'd do it if, even if I had to sell my bicycle shop.
00:05:55Well, you'd better hold on to your shop and put your money into horses.
00:05:59Automobiles.
00:06:00The dirty, smelly things.
00:06:02Well, if it comes to that, a horse isn't any part of Hyacinths.
00:06:07I'll ask you, Kurt Schindler, not to be obscene.
00:06:09Good night, Bob.
00:06:19Good night.
00:06:25You're from train now.
00:06:27Hello, folks.
00:06:28Hello, Pop.
00:06:29Hello, dear.
00:06:30Oh, Kurt.
00:06:30Hello, Ray.
00:06:31You remember the rinds?
00:06:32Yeah.
00:06:33It's been awful hot, hasn't it?
00:06:34Oh, for a dear.
00:06:37Well, Ray, I've been waiting for you.
00:06:39Yeah, what for?
00:06:40Well, I just thought maybe, well, I wonder if it's mine coming over to the bicycle shop tomorrow
00:06:45and helping me with my books.
00:06:48No, of course not.
00:06:50I'd love to.
00:06:51Well, they're in an awful mess.
00:06:52They always are.
00:06:53I read in a paper yesterday that a girl from South Bend, Indiana, went up to a bicycle repair
00:06:57shop that a fellow kept over a feed store, and she was found dead two weeks later with
00:07:02her head off in a gunny sack.
00:07:04Rita.
00:07:05Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to bed.
00:07:09Come along, Rita.
00:07:13Oh, shucks, Mom.
00:07:14Do I have to go to bed so early?
00:07:16Say, Mama, Katie Schweibacher says you can make a man marry you if you...
00:07:20Are you coming?
00:07:20You want to close yourself upstairs, little lady?
00:07:22I don't know what I'm going to have about this.
00:07:24All right, upstairs.
00:07:26I guess I'd better be going home myself.
00:07:28There's nothing like a good night's rest to put you on top of the world.
00:07:31That's right.
00:07:32Good night.
00:07:32Good night.
00:07:33Ray, I'll see you tomorrow?
00:07:35Surest thing you know.
00:07:37Well, good night.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:38Fine boy, Kurt.
00:07:43Mm-hmm.
00:07:45So are you.
00:07:47Me?
00:07:47Fine boy?
00:07:48She bet your life.
00:07:50Not anymore, Liebchen.
00:07:52I'm beginning to creak.
00:07:55Oh, Pop.
00:07:58Don't talk like that.
00:08:02Say, you're the youngest boy I know.
00:08:05I wouldn't fiddle around waiting for something better than Kurt.
00:08:11When it's just like life to hand you something worse.
00:08:15Kurt is a fine, steady boy.
00:08:18He won't never surprise you, maybe.
00:08:20But don't you care.
00:08:22The trouble with most marriages is that they got too many surprises.
00:08:26Ha ha ha.
00:08:27Ha ha.
00:08:49Hey Ray, Ray, come here.
00:08:49And listen to her part.
00:08:51Isn't she a peach?
00:08:53Hey.
00:08:55Isn't she a humdinger?
00:08:57She sure is.
00:09:08I can finish her as soon as I get this part that's coming in on the 510 tomorrow.
00:09:12Oh, Ray, will you write down while I get it?
00:09:14Sure. Can we get through with the book?
00:09:16Oh, gee, Ray, you're a peach to help me with those books every Sunday.
00:09:19What happened?
00:09:21I just didn't switch off.
00:09:22Oh.
00:09:23Ray, have you any confidence in me?
00:09:26Well, of course, Kurt, you're going to be a big man one of these days.
00:09:29Don't I know it?
00:09:30Oh, gee, it's great to have you say that because I...
00:09:33Oh, look here, Ray.
00:09:35Will you marry me?
00:09:37Hmph.
00:09:39Oh, gee, it's great to have you say that because I...
00:09:42Oh, look here, Ray.
00:09:44Will you marry me?
00:09:46Hmph.
00:09:48Well, I...
00:09:52I don't see anything so all-fired funny about it.
00:09:56I...
00:09:57Oh, I wasn't laughing at you, Kurt.
00:09:59I was just thinking.
00:10:01Believe it or not, you're the first man who ever asked me to marry me.
00:10:06I guess I'm the only fellow that ever had enough nerve.
00:10:09Lots of them have had the nerve, all right.
00:10:12Most of them think they can have me without marrying me.
00:10:15Well, the lot they know.
00:10:17Just because a girl's a good sport.
00:10:19I'd like to see anyone try to get fresh with you.
00:10:23Fred.
00:10:24Fred, it isn't true, is it?
00:10:25What, Kurt?
00:10:26That they could have you without...
00:10:27Ah, shucks.
00:10:28I knew that much myself.
00:10:29I guess the cop's gone upstairs.
00:10:30I guess the cop's gone upstairs.
00:10:32I guess the cop's gone upstairs.
00:10:35Ray.
00:10:36Ray, you haven't answered my question.
00:10:38What question, Kurt?
00:10:39I guess the cop is gone upstairs.
00:10:54Ray.
00:10:55Ray, you haven't answered my question.
00:10:59Ray... Ray, you haven't answered my question.
00:11:03What question, Kurt?
00:11:05Will you marry me?
00:11:06Oh, Kurt, I think you're swell.
00:11:09But... but you don't love me.
00:11:12Well, not that way.
00:11:14It would be horrible to marry you and then find out someday that I cared for somebody else.
00:11:20You see, I know myself so well.
00:11:23It's all the way or zero with me.
00:11:26And heaven help the man I do fall in love with.
00:11:29Well, until you find him, I won't take no for an answer.
00:11:34I'll just keep on asking.
00:11:37Gee, that's fair enough.
00:11:56Hello there, Ray.
00:12:00Well, hi.
00:12:01Well, how do you do?
00:12:03Well, you know Kurt Schindler, don't you?
00:12:05Hello, how are you? Pardon my glove.
00:12:07Ray, will you stay here a few moments?
00:12:08I'm going over to the baggage room.
00:12:10Pure Kurt.
00:12:11So long.
00:12:12Well, you taking this train?
00:12:14Yes, worst luck.
00:12:15Haven't seen much of you this trip, Ray.
00:12:17Well, who's to blame for that, I'd like to know.
00:12:19Fine way you treat it, girl.
00:12:21I learned to love you, then you leave me to eat my heart out alone.
00:12:24Uh-uh-uh-uh.
00:12:25Now, stop.
00:12:26Now, stop.
00:12:27Now, stop.
00:12:28Say, Ray.
00:12:29I'm taking that train to Detroit.
00:12:31Really?
00:12:32What about coming along with me?
00:12:34Oh, I'd love to, but I can't.
00:12:36Well, why not?
00:12:38I forgot my toothbrush.
00:12:40Oh, that's the same old story.
00:12:42You know, Ray, you'll never change.
00:12:44Oh!
00:12:45Oh, Ray, you know, really, I think you're a fraud.
00:12:48But you can bet the next time I come back to Cincinnati,
00:12:51you're not going to slip out of my fingers that easy.
00:12:53We'll see.
00:12:55Hello, Walter.
00:12:56Why, Bankless, how are you?
00:12:57Nice.
00:12:58What are you doing around these parts?
00:12:59Oh, same old story, you know.
00:13:00Here today and going tomorrow.
00:13:01How's the banking business?
00:13:02Found is enough.
00:13:03How's the luxury business?
00:13:04Driving, my boy.
00:13:05Driving.
00:13:06Bye, Walter.
00:13:07Bye.
00:13:08Bye.
00:13:09Oh, Walter.
00:13:10I want you to meet a Tony little friend of mine.
00:13:12Ray Schmidt.
00:13:19How do you do?
00:13:24Well, what are you thinking?
00:13:25Shall I tell you?
00:13:26You might as well, sooner or later.
00:13:28Well, I was thinking,
00:13:30this is the most perfect day I've ever known.
00:13:32Why, you're crazy.
00:13:34It's hot and sultry and it's been threatening rain all day.
00:13:37You're crazy yourself.
00:13:39The sky is clear as crystal.
00:13:41The air is like wine.
00:13:42God's in this heaven and you're on earth.
00:13:47Say, you'll have me blushing in a minute.
00:13:49You're blushing now and it's most becoming.
00:13:51Keep it up.
00:13:52Shall we be going?
00:14:00I don't think I caught your name.
00:14:02Does it matter?
00:14:04Not a darn bit.
00:14:06I don't know.
00:14:07I don't know.
00:14:08I don't know.
00:14:09I don't know.
00:14:10I don't know.
00:14:11I don't know.
00:14:12Can I give you a lift?
00:14:13No, thanks.
00:14:14I have a lift.
00:14:15You seem to have everything.
00:14:16There's your cab.
00:14:17I'm in no hurry.
00:14:18When do we meet again?
00:14:19When?
00:14:36Tonight at 10.
00:14:37White Farm is 11th and Adams.
00:14:39Sorry, I have a date.
00:14:41Break it.
00:15:11Oh, hello.
00:15:13Hello yourself.
00:15:15You don't seem the least bit surprised to see me.
00:15:17I'm not.
00:15:18Well, I like that.
00:15:20You're not very sure of yourself, are you?
00:15:23Hmm, so-so.
00:15:25My theory is if you want to think badly enough, it's bound to come through.
00:15:29Oh.
00:15:30Shall we walk?
00:15:32Well, let's go.
00:15:33Let's go.
00:15:34Let's go.
00:15:35Let's go.
00:15:36Let's go.
00:15:37Let's go.
00:15:38Let's go.
00:15:39Oh.
00:15:40Shall we walk?
00:15:42Suit me.
00:15:45What's your name?
00:15:46Ray.
00:15:47Gee, I'm glad.
00:15:49You're glad?
00:15:50Why?
00:15:51Because I think a name should always suit the person, and yours is perfect.
00:15:54Ray.
00:15:55Ray of sunshine.
00:15:56Ray of delight.
00:15:57Ray of my heart.
00:15:59Tell me about you, sir.
00:16:01What do you do?
00:16:02I work in my father's store, trimmings and dress goods.
00:16:05How well do you know that fellow that introduced us?
00:16:08Oh, he's just another traveling salesman.
00:16:12Now, it's your turn.
00:16:13Wait a second.
00:16:14Deep breath.
00:16:15Now.
00:16:16What's your name?
00:16:17Walter Saxel.
00:16:18Oh.
00:16:19Yours is nice, too.
00:16:20Where do you live?
00:16:21Hamilton.
00:16:22I'm over here visiting the Trowers.
00:16:23Oh.
00:16:24You know them?
00:16:25Yes.
00:16:26I know Corinne Trower.
00:16:27Blonde with big blue eyes.
00:16:29How well do you know her?
00:16:30Oh, fair to meddling.
00:16:31I'm engaged to her.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:33Just my luck.
00:16:34If ever I do meet a fellow who's really nice, he's sure to be engaged or something.
00:16:39Do you really feel that way about me?
00:16:42It's raining.
00:16:43I guess you're right.
00:16:44Let's get in there.
00:16:45Well, hello Walter.
00:16:46Hello Walter.
00:16:47How do you do?
00:16:48How do you do?
00:16:49Glad to see you.
00:16:50When did you get in town?
00:16:51I just got in the second one.
00:16:52Well, I just got in the second one.
00:16:54I just got in the second one.
00:16:55Yeah.
00:16:56Well, hello Walter.
00:16:57Yes, you're right.
00:16:59Let's get in there.
00:17:10Well, hello, Walter.
00:17:11Hello, Walter.
00:17:12How do you do?
00:17:13How do you do?
00:17:14Glad to see you.
00:17:15When did you get in town?
00:17:16I just got here this morning.
00:17:17How's Mother?
00:17:18She's fine, thank you.
00:17:19She'll be here tomorrow.
00:17:20And Corrine?
00:17:21She's well, too, thank you.
00:17:22I suppose she's all excited about the wedding.
00:17:23Oh, I say, it's a week from next Thursday.
00:17:24Yes, a week from next Thursday.
00:17:25Are you waiting for Corrine now?
00:17:27No.
00:17:28As a matter of fact, I was waiting for a cab.
00:17:30I'm very happy to see you.
00:17:31I'll be glad we saw you.
00:17:32Good night.
00:17:33Good night.
00:17:34Goodbye.
00:17:35Well, say hello to Corrine for me, will you?
00:17:36I will, thank you.
00:17:37Goodbye.
00:17:38Goodbye.
00:17:55Lowerê´€.
00:17:58Thank you very much.
00:18:00What are you doing, playing hide-and-seek?
00:18:02You are so mad.
00:18:03No, I was just trying to dodge a couple of friends of mine.
00:18:05Who?
00:18:06I don't think you know them.
00:18:07Been waiting long?
00:18:08Have I been waiting longer.
00:18:10Honest me, have you?
00:18:11No, let's just get over here.
00:18:13I won't leave, Carla.
00:18:14Okay, I'll be.
00:18:15Yes, sir.
00:18:18Where should we go?
00:18:20I don't care.
00:18:21You stay.
00:18:22Over the Rhine.
00:18:23All right.
00:18:24Over the Rhine.
00:18:25Yes.
00:18:26What are you doing?
00:18:27What are you doing?
00:18:28I don't care.
00:18:29I don't care.
00:18:30You stay.
00:18:31Over the Rhine.
00:18:33Over the Rhine.
00:18:34Yes.
00:18:35What are you thinking?
00:18:50I shouldn't have come tonight.
00:18:52Are you sorry?
00:18:53No.
00:18:54Then why did you say what you did?
00:18:58Is your wedding to be here or at Hamilton?
00:19:01We should talk about that tonight.
00:19:03I'm sorry.
00:19:04I don't misunderstand me, Ray.
00:19:06Corrine's a fine girl.
00:19:07She's far too good for me.
00:19:09We grew up together.
00:19:10Been engaged two years.
00:19:11My mother's heart is set on the marriage.
00:19:15Walter.
00:19:18I don't think we ought to see each other anymore after the night.
00:19:24As a matter of fact, Ray, we were mad to go on seeing each other at all.
00:19:28You're adorable, Ray.
00:19:29When I hold you in my arms like this, nothing else seems to matter.
00:19:30You're like a drug to me.
00:19:31I feel as if I could chuck the whole thing off.
00:19:33Let's get out of here.
00:19:34I feel as if I could chuck the whole thing off.
00:19:35Let's get out of here.
00:19:36Let's get out of here.
00:19:41I feel as if I could chuck the whole thing off.
00:19:51Let's get out of here.
00:19:56Let's get out of here.
00:19:59I'm so sorry, Ray.
00:20:01He's so sorry.
00:20:02Here she goes.
00:20:03I'm so sorry, Ray.
00:20:04I love you.
00:20:06How much did I do?
00:20:07How much did he do?
00:20:08I was so sorry.
00:20:09I feel sorry.
00:20:10I am so sorry.
00:20:11I am so sorry.
00:20:12I am so sorry.
00:20:13I am so sorry, Ray.
00:20:14I never knew anyone like you before.
00:20:28Why couldn't I have known you years ago?
00:20:31Before I...
00:20:38I wish Mother knew you.
00:20:41Look here, Ray.
00:20:42My mother will be here tomorrow.
00:20:45I'm going to take you to the park.
00:20:47You happened along sort of accidentally.
00:20:49Just as though we hadn't planned it.
00:20:51Understand?
00:20:52Yes, Walter.
00:20:53There'll be a band concert at 3 o'clock.
00:20:55Mother wants to hear it.
00:20:57We'll take a seat directly in front of the bandstand.
00:20:59You will come, won't you?
00:21:02Yes, Walter.
00:21:04I'll be there.
00:21:12It's quite a crumb.
00:21:31Yes, it is, Mother.
00:21:32Let's see.
00:21:33Let's go.
00:21:46I'm going to go.
00:22:16I'll see you next time.
00:22:34Head she liked me, tail she won't.
00:22:38Oh hello.
00:22:40That's I'm from church?
00:22:41Ray, I've got to talk to you.
00:22:43I'm in a terrible hurry.
00:22:49What did you lock the door for?
00:22:51Ray, I've got to talk to you now.
00:22:53About what?
00:22:54Hugo's leaving town.
00:22:56Well, what of it?
00:22:57Oh, Ray, we've got to stop him.
00:23:00He's got to stay here and...
00:23:04Frida.
00:23:05Oh, don't, Ray.
00:23:07If Mama were to find out anything, she'd...
00:23:10Oh, Ray, you've got to do something.
00:23:12All right.
00:23:14I'll talk to him tonight.
00:23:15Tonight will be too late.
00:23:16I saw him on the way home from church,
00:23:18and he's leaving this afternoon on the 3.20 train.
00:23:20Oh, Ray.
00:23:21But, Frida, I've got an important engagement.
00:23:24Yes, a date.
00:23:25About as important as that.
00:23:27Listen, Frida.
00:23:28I've got an important engagement.
00:23:30Yes, a date.
00:23:31About as important as that.
00:23:33Listen, Frida.
00:23:34I've got an important engagement.
00:23:36Yes, a date.
00:23:37About as important as that.
00:23:39Listen, Frida.
00:23:40Nothing in the world has ever been so important
00:23:43as my being in front of that bandstand at 3 o'clock.
00:23:47Pray for me.
00:23:48Wish me luck.
00:23:50Come on, get away from that door.
00:23:52Ray, if you don't go with me now to stop Hugo,
00:23:54I'll...
00:23:55I'll kill myself.
00:23:56Frida.
00:23:57I mean it, Ray.
00:23:58I couldn't go on living if I...
00:24:00I'll kill myself.
00:24:01Frida!
00:24:02You...
00:24:03You...
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:05You little fool.
00:24:08Oh, Ray, don't desert me.
00:24:13You're the only one I've got to turn to.
00:24:18No.
00:24:19No, I won't desert you.
00:24:22You can count on Ray.
00:24:25Come on.
00:24:30Come on.
00:24:32Come on.
00:24:34We'll see him right away.
00:24:40Here.
00:24:41Dry your eyes.
00:24:43Don't let your mother see her crying.
00:25:00Every morning of her sang and burying sounds.
00:25:02If some hychains get aιά you can screw in the perch.
00:25:03Then she returned.
00:25:04With plenty of water around.
00:25:05With plenty of wine.
00:25:06With plenty of wine.

00:25:27It looks like a little bit longer.
00:25:57Thank you very much.
00:26:27Walter.
00:26:28You can pass some people without speaking to them, but not me.
00:26:31Why, Walter Saxel.
00:26:33Right you are.
00:26:34You can step ahead of the class, Miss Schmidt.
00:26:36Oh, the same old Walter.
00:26:39Then you don't think I've changed these five years?
00:26:42No, I'm not.
00:26:43I'm not.
00:26:44I'm not.
00:26:45I'm not.
00:26:46I'm not.
00:26:47I'm not.
00:26:48I'm not.
00:26:49I'm not.
00:26:50I'm not.
00:26:51I'm not.
00:26:52I'm not.
00:26:53I'm not.
00:26:54I'm not.
00:26:55Then you don't think I've changed these five years?
00:26:58It has been five years since you stood me up in Eden Park.
00:27:00Well, I didn't stand you up in Eden Park.
00:27:02You did.
00:27:03I did not.
00:27:04You did too?
00:27:05I did not.
00:27:06Oh, you certainly did.
00:27:07I did.
00:27:08I beg your pardon.
00:27:09They seem to be obstructing traffic.
00:27:14Now, let's see.
00:27:15Where were we?
00:27:16Oh, yes.
00:27:17Eden Park in front of the bandstand.
00:27:18That is, I was there, but you weren't.
00:27:19I was.
00:27:20I got there a little late.
00:27:21A little late?
00:27:22Well, then I stayed until the concert was over.
00:27:24I got there just as the crowd was breaking up.
00:27:26I was furious.
00:27:27Yes, I gathered that from the note you wrote me.
00:27:29Was it harsh?
00:27:30Terribly.
00:27:31I'm sorry.
00:27:32I said then I'd never forgive you.
00:27:34But you will, won't you?
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:37The same Ray Smith, aren't you?
00:27:39Nice as ever.
00:27:40And if anything, a little younger.
00:27:41Oh.
00:27:42I mean it.
00:27:43And you still know how to wear clothes.
00:27:44Oh, well, thanks.
00:27:45What have you been doing with yourself, Walter?
00:27:47Oh, lots of things.
00:27:48I'm in line for Junior Partnership, Friedlander-Kunst Bankers.
00:27:50Oh, splendid.
00:27:51And I've given birth to two children.
00:27:54Well, aren't you clever.
00:27:55And you, what have you been doing?
00:27:57Well, I'm not exactly in line for Junior Partnership, but I am about the highest paid woman in my firm.
00:28:03Swell.
00:28:04Look here, Ray.
00:28:05We're going to be snowbound if we don't get out here.
00:28:07Uh-huh.
00:28:08Let's have dinner together.
00:28:09Well, I have an engagement.
00:28:11I'll call my wife and meet you here in ten minutes.
00:28:14We'll have dinner at Risenwebbers.
00:28:15What do you say?
00:28:17All right.
00:28:35Shall we go?
00:28:44You're lovely as ever, aren't you?
00:28:46Know many people in New York?
00:28:47No.
00:28:48No.
00:28:49No.
00:28:50No.
00:28:51No.
00:28:52No.
00:28:53No.
00:28:54No.
00:29:07No.
00:29:08No.
00:29:09No.
00:29:10No.
00:29:11No.
00:29:12No, no.
00:29:16Oh, no.
00:29:18No.
00:29:19No, no.
00:29:20No, no.
00:29:28Seventy-five.
00:29:50Walter, I'm already sorry.
00:29:51I can't ask you out.
00:29:53But gentlemen and dogs are not allowed.
00:29:58I see.
00:29:59I have a landlady with all the instincts of a bloodhound.
00:30:03Well, I suppose this is good night.
00:30:08It's been nice seeing you again, Walter.
00:30:10Has it?
00:30:11I wonder.
00:30:13Walter.
00:30:16I wonder if it wouldn't have been better if we'd never seen each other again.
00:30:19Oh, Walter.
00:30:20Hooray.
00:30:21I'm sorry, I didn't mean that.
00:30:23Please forgive me.
00:30:24Your memory has followed me day and night like a shadow.
00:30:30I finally tore you out of my mind.
00:30:32And now you've come back to torture me.
00:30:35Oh, Walter, darling.
00:30:38What can I say?
00:30:39What can I do?
00:30:41Ray.
00:30:43You still care for me, don't you?
00:30:46Don't you know?
00:30:46When shall I see you?
00:31:00Whenever you say.
00:31:02I'll call you.
00:31:03I'm going out of town tomorrow for a couple of days.
00:31:05I'll call you on Saturday.
00:31:06All right.
00:31:07You can get me at Liberty 3270.
00:31:10Can you remember the number?
00:31:11I'll never forget it.
00:31:14Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:31:14You better turn up your collar.
00:31:21Don't take cold.
00:31:22Be careful.
00:31:24Goodbye.
00:31:24Goodbye.
00:31:43Never mind, Walter.
00:31:44I'll change.
00:31:45How are you?
00:31:47Am I late?
00:31:48No, dear.
00:31:48Shall we go in?
00:31:54It's for you, Ray.
00:32:19For me?
00:32:20For me?
00:32:24We couldn't go on meeting on street corners, hiding in doorways.
00:32:29You don't mind, do you?
00:32:34No, Walter.
00:32:36I don't mind.
00:32:49I don't mind.
00:33:08I don't mind.
00:33:09I don't mind.
00:33:09Hello.
00:33:19Operator, will you call this line, please?
00:33:21I think it's out of order.
00:33:33Hello.
00:33:34No, it's all right.
00:33:39What I really enjoy after dinner is my plan.
00:33:43Besides, I want to talk to you.
00:33:45Good.
00:33:46That was an excellent dinner.
00:33:47Corinne is a perfect toaster, and you've done the house over charming.
00:33:50Thanks to you.
00:33:51Huh?
00:33:52Well, didn't you pay for it?
00:33:53Well, Corinne has always been my favorite niece.
00:33:56Anyway, you've earned it.
00:34:02And that brings me to the point.
00:34:04You're leaving for Europe day after tomorrow.
00:34:07Uncle Felix.
00:34:09It was a Dalmatian negotiation.
00:34:10But I thought you were...
00:34:11I was, but I've changed my mind.
00:34:13We need a younger man on the job.
00:34:15I'm counting on you, Walter.
00:34:17It'll be marvelous.
00:34:19A great opportunity.
00:34:20Well, I could do with a little vacation.
00:34:23I would suggest you're taking Corinne along.
00:34:27But Uncle Felix...
00:34:30But Uncle Felix...
00:35:00Hello.
00:35:01Walter!
00:35:02Walter!
00:35:17Glad to see you.
00:35:18Of course I am.
00:35:19I didn't dream.
00:35:20I shouldn't be here at all, but I managed to slip away for a few seconds.
00:35:23I had to see you, Ray.
00:35:24Oh, I'm so glad you did.
00:35:25Missed me?
00:35:26Oh, you'll never know how much it's been terrible.
00:35:28Oh, silly.
00:35:29It's only been three days.
00:35:30Only three days.
00:35:31That hasn't meant much to you.
00:35:33You've been so busy every waking moment.
00:35:35But how about me?
00:35:37Listening for the telephone.
00:35:38Straining to hear your key in the lock.
00:35:40Waiting and waiting.
00:35:42Oh, Walter's been awful.
00:35:44I'm terribly sorry.
00:35:45Really.
00:35:46Doesn't matter now.
00:35:48Come on, now.
00:35:49Tell me.
00:35:50Tell you what?
00:35:51The big news.
00:35:52Why?
00:35:53I never said anything about it.
00:35:54You've been saying nothing else ever since you came in.
00:35:57Never lie to me, darling.
00:35:58Not even a tiny little fib.
00:35:59You tell me everything without a word.
00:36:00The way you open the door.
00:36:01The way you walk across the room.
00:36:02That excited little boy look in your eyes.
00:36:05I'm excited, too.
00:36:06What is it?
00:36:07Well, it is exciting.
00:36:08It's exciting.
00:36:09It's fun.
00:36:10It's fun.
00:36:11It's fun.
00:36:12It's fun.
00:36:13It's fun.
00:36:14It's fun.
00:36:15It's fun.
00:36:16Well, it is exciting.
00:36:18You remember those Dalmatian negotiations we were discussing?
00:36:20Yes.
00:36:21Well, Uncle Felix has decided not to go himself.
00:36:23To send me in his place.
00:36:25Walter.
00:36:26We leave the after tomorrow.
00:36:27The after tomorrow?
00:36:28Europe?
00:36:29Why, I can't believe it.
00:36:33What?
00:36:34Europe.
00:36:35It's something I never even dare dream about.
00:36:38Just to be there would be wonderful.
00:36:41But to make my first trip with you.
00:36:43Well, Walter.
00:36:45Walter.
00:36:51Ray.
00:36:55I'm afraid you don't understand.
00:36:59Darling.
00:37:00I can't ask you to go.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:05Oh, don't think it's because I don't want you.
00:37:07I'm as heart-sick about it as you are.
00:37:09It's Uncle Felix that...
00:37:11Sort of frightened me tonight.
00:37:13He's like a sphinx that man.
00:37:14You're never sure how much he knows.
00:37:15Or just what they're...
00:37:16He talked a lot about appearances and said that I should...
00:37:19That I should take Corinne along.
00:37:22You're not here.
00:37:23It's my period.
00:37:24You're a little partner to go.
00:37:25Oh.
00:37:26Yes, no room isn't on the table.
00:37:28So let me sing along.
00:37:30It matters he's just a little, really.
00:37:31I understand him.
00:37:32Holcomb.
00:37:33Just a little...
00:37:34But, you'll pick, get your hands off.
00:37:36All you've got me?
00:37:37All you've got me all these things.
00:37:38For an amazing he is playing Hausman.
00:38:09Well, as I was saying, we're thinking about a lot of things.
00:38:39But it's really worse for you than anyone else.
00:38:41My, it shuts out all the light and air, doesn't it?
00:38:45Mm-hmm.
00:38:46That is a shame.
00:38:47Oh, why don't you move?
00:38:48Oh, I can't just now.
00:38:50Oh, of course not until your husband returns.
00:38:52He's been gone a long time, hasn't he?
00:38:54Yes.
00:38:55Expecting him soon?
00:38:57Well, his business is very uncertain.
00:38:59It's hard to tell.
00:39:00Oh, I see.
00:39:01My, what is that, a tree?
00:39:03Oh, no, it's flowers, isn't it?
00:39:05Oh, it's awful pretty.
00:39:06Oh, gracious me, I clean forgot what I came over for.
00:39:10Could I have the land of a couple of lemons?
00:39:12Oh, yes, of course.
00:39:13You know, Mr. Doe will be home in a minute.
00:39:15He just loves his lemonade, he does.
00:39:17And I forgot to go down for the...
00:39:19Oh, dear.
00:39:20Oh, dear.
00:39:21Is this your husband?
00:39:25What?
00:39:26Yes.
00:39:29My, but he's good looking.
00:39:31Oh, dear.
00:39:32And he's so dark.
00:39:34Here's your lemons.
00:39:35Oh, thank you so much.
00:39:38Oh, well, I'll return these tomorrow.
00:39:40There's no hurry.
00:39:41There goes the dance.
00:39:42Really, of course, this time it isn't lying.
00:39:50Oh, dear.
00:39:51I don't know if there's a broken stone there.
00:40:09But there goes the wood.
00:40:12Peter knows how the moon's gonna go above her.
00:40:18I'll see the fog.
00:40:19milliards.
00:40:20Help!
00:40:21What's happened?
00:40:22Help!
00:40:23Help!
00:40:24Help!
00:40:25Help!
00:40:26Somebody do something!
00:40:27Wait!
00:40:28Wait!
00:40:29Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:30Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:31Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:32Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:33Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:34Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:35Oh, my eyes are burned!
00:40:36Why don't you let me call your husband?
00:40:38No, no, you mustn't phone him.
00:40:39All right, all right.
00:40:40I won't.
00:40:41I'm causing you an awful lot of trouble.
00:40:46Oh, now, don't you worry about that.
00:40:49You've been awfully kind.
00:40:52Who are you?
00:40:53What's your name?
00:40:54Ray Schmidt.
00:40:55I'm your neighbor.
00:40:56Oh.
00:41:00What did the doctor say?
00:41:02Will I be disfigured?
00:41:03No.
00:41:04No, of course not.
00:41:06I wonder what Jim will say.
00:41:09Why won't you let me call him?
00:41:12No, no, you mustn't.
00:41:13He told me not to.
00:41:14But in a case like this...
00:41:16You don't understand.
00:41:18He...
00:41:19He...
00:41:20He isn't really my husband.
00:41:23He's married.
00:41:25Ray.
00:41:26Ray Schmidt.
00:41:27Why, Kurt.
00:41:28Kurt.
00:41:29Kurt Chandler.
00:41:30Well, I know I had the right house and street number.
00:41:32But I didn't think I'd find you waiting on the doorstep for me.
00:41:34Oh, gosh, Ray.
00:41:35You're a sight for sore eyes.
00:41:36Oh, where do I get my breath?
00:41:37Where in the world did you come from?
00:41:38Where in the world did you come from?
00:41:39Detroit.
00:41:40I never in the world would have known you.
00:41:41You're a sight for sore eyes.
00:41:42Oh, where do I get my breath?
00:41:44Where in the world did you come from?
00:41:45Detroit.
00:41:46I never in the world would have known you.
00:41:47Why, you look well.
00:41:48And so prosperous, too.
00:41:49What have you been doing?
00:41:50What have I...
00:41:51Oh, don't you know?
00:41:52Know what?
00:41:53Oh, look.
00:41:54Do you see that?
00:41:55Oh, look.
00:41:56Do you see that?
00:41:57What do you see?
00:41:58What do you see?
00:41:59What do you see?
00:42:00What do you see?
00:42:01What do you see?
00:42:02Well, I'm here on business.
00:42:03You know, this is my first time in New York.
00:42:04Where in the world did you come from?
00:42:05Detroit.
00:42:06I never in the world would have known you.
00:42:08Why, you look well.
00:42:09So prosperous, too.
00:42:10What have you been doing?
00:42:11Well, I've...
00:42:12Well, don't you know?
00:42:13Know what?
00:42:14Oh, look.
00:42:15Do you see that?
00:42:16That's a Kurt Sussex.
00:42:17Well, I know that.
00:42:18Everybody does.
00:42:19Well, I'm the Kurt bar.
00:42:20You?
00:42:21I certainly am.
00:42:23Why, Kurt, I can't believe this.
00:42:26What are you doing here?
00:42:28Well, I'm here on business.
00:42:29business. You know, this is my first time in New York, and I want to see the town while
00:42:33I'm here. So you're elected to show me the sights. Is it a go? Sure thing you know, Kurt.
00:42:38Well, let's start right now and go someplace where it's cool. This heat's awful. Oh, this
00:42:44is glorious up here, isn't it? This is a real treat for me. Well, what are you going to
00:42:48have to eat? You know, Kurt, I can't get over. What have you done to yourself? Well, let
00:42:59me see. Oh, you remember how my hair used to stick up like that? Uh-huh. Well, I've got
00:43:04it plastered down. I've got some new glasses. I've exchanged my overalls for a suit of clothes.
00:43:09But outside of that, I'm still the same Kurt Chandler you knew in Cincinnati. How'd you get
00:43:15my address? I wrote Frida, and she tells me you're still in the wholesale training business. Oh, yes,
00:43:20I am. I'm on a vacation now, though. Well, that's great, because I've got a list of things for
00:43:26us to do as tall as a flat-iron building.
00:43:40Frantyne? Yes. Hello. Hello. What are you doing? Oh, nothing. Come on over. All right.
00:43:48All right. Hello. Oh, hello, Kurt. Yeah. No, I haven't. Sure, I'd love to. Wait a minute. Come in. I'll be with you in a minute.
00:43:50All right. All right. Hello. Oh, hello, Kurt. Yeah. No, I haven't. Sure, I'd love to. Wait a minute. Come in. I'll be with you in a minute.
00:44:16I'll be with you in a minute. Yes, Kurt.
00:44:23What? All right. About 7? Sure, I'll be ready. Bye.
00:44:39Have a good time, Captain.
00:44:41Oh, Grant, Detroit beat the Yankees, and you should have heard Kurt yell.
00:44:45He's an awfully nice fellow.
00:44:46Oh, Kurt, swell.
00:44:48Have you been crying again?
00:44:50Oh, Ray, I can't help it.
00:44:52I think I'll go crazy if I don't hear from Jim.
00:44:54Oh, Francine, I wish he'd stopped.
00:44:57He's not worth it.
00:44:59I wonder if any man is.
00:45:02Oh, I...
00:45:03I know it's pretty tough on you right now, but you're so well out of it.
00:45:07You're free now, free to come and go and do as you like.
00:45:10But Ray, I love him.
00:45:13And what about him?
00:45:15I suppose he loves you too, huh?
00:45:17He did a lot.
00:45:18And that's all I ever wanted from him, Ray.
00:45:20I just starved for him, worked for him, anything.
00:45:22All I wanted was his love.
00:45:25That's all you've got.
00:45:27All you ever get.
00:45:29You don't get that for long.
00:45:32Francine, what can a man like that do for you?
00:45:36Can he take you out any place?
00:45:38Can he be seen with you in public?
00:45:39Introduce you to his friends?
00:45:41Uh-uh.
00:45:42All he can do is tuck you away someplace in a side street and let you wait.
00:45:46Wait for the telephone to ring.
00:45:48Wait for unsigned postal cards and typewritten letters.
00:45:52Well, if I could only hate him, if I could only stop loving him, you will.
00:45:57Look, Francine, take my advice.
00:46:00Get out of it before it's too late.
00:46:02Find some nice boy, marry him, settle down, have kiddies.
00:46:05That's the only way to be happy.
00:46:07I know what I'm talking about.
00:46:09There isn't one woman in a million who's ever found happiness
00:46:13in the back streets of any man's life.
00:46:21Hello, Ray.
00:46:22Walter.
00:46:23Oh, darling.
00:46:44Oh, Walter, I want you to meet a little friend of mine.
00:46:46Francine, Francine, this is...
00:46:50This is Walter.
00:46:51How do you do, Mr. Schmidt?
00:46:53How do you do?
00:46:54I've heard quite a lot about you.
00:46:56Well, Ray, I'll run along.
00:46:57All right, honey.
00:46:58And I'll see you soon.
00:46:59Sure.
00:47:00Good night, dear.
00:47:01I'll call her.
00:47:02Well, good night.
00:47:06Oh, Walter.
00:47:07Oh, my darling.
00:47:09When did you get in?
00:47:11I didn't know there was a boat docking today.
00:47:13When did you get in?
00:47:14The day before yesterday.
00:47:17The day before yesterday?
00:47:18Mm-hmm.
00:47:20Walter, you've been in town two whole days?
00:47:23But, Ray, I've been so busy.
00:47:24You haven't any idea.
00:47:26Oh, I have, Walter, but...
00:47:28Couldn't you telephone me or something?
00:47:30Darling, I thought about it a dozen times,
00:47:32but I just simply couldn't get around to it.
00:47:35Please forgive me.
00:47:37Of course.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:39What sort of a summer did you have?
00:47:44You look a little tired, dear.
00:47:45Oh, I'll be all right as soon as it gets cooler.
00:47:47The heat's been terrible.
00:47:48That's what everyone wrote me.
00:47:50Uncle Felix said it was the hottest summer in 30 years.
00:47:52Hmm.
00:47:53Should have been with me in Europe.
00:47:54Hardly a day when the coat wasn't comfortable.
00:47:56And Switzerland.
00:47:58Hmm.
00:47:59Switzerland?
00:48:00I didn't know you were going to Switzerland.
00:48:01Didn't I write you?
00:48:03Darling, I had three postcards from you all summer.
00:48:06Now, Ray, I know I wrote you oftener than that.
00:48:10Some of them must have gone astray.
00:48:12Well, that's possible.
00:48:14Well, anyhow.
00:48:16When the negotiations were over, I said,
00:48:19Oh, why not see some of Europe while you're here?
00:48:22So for four weeks we toured France, Switzerland, Italy.
00:48:25Oh, it was heavenly.
00:48:27Four weeks.
00:48:28And when you left here, you could hardly wait for the next boat
00:48:30to bring you back to me.
00:48:32Four weeks.
00:48:33Well, great Scott, Ray, why shouldn't I?
00:48:34It was my first trip to Europe, and...
00:48:36Look here, you haven't told me one thing about your summer,
00:48:38except it was hot.
00:48:39Well, there isn't much to tell, Walter.
00:48:41You ought to know what my days are like.
00:48:43Playing solitaire.
00:48:45Making over an old dress now and then.
00:48:47Going to market.
00:48:48Well, I took a china painting this summer.
00:48:51It gave me something to do.
00:48:53And I was able to sell a few pieces now and then.
00:48:55Sell?
00:48:56Ray, I don't like you doing things like that.
00:48:57Why?
00:48:58Well, for no particular reason, Walter.
00:49:01Except that a woman likes to have a few coins in her purse once in a while.
00:49:06Ray.
00:49:08I clean forgot to make any provision for you those last four weeks in Europe.
00:49:13I'll fix it up with you tomorrow.
00:49:16I hope you weren't inconvenienced.
00:49:18Not at all, darling.
00:49:19I managed beautifully.
00:49:20Gee, I'm sorry.
00:49:21I...
00:49:22I don't want you to feel sorry, Walter.
00:49:24I wasn't making a bid for sympathy.
00:49:26I don't feel the least bit sorry for myself.
00:49:29I'd go through the past summer time and again for you if it were necessary.
00:49:36There's something we've got to have out with each other.
00:49:39It's been fiendish at times, Walter.
00:49:42I gave up my job so I could be free when you were here.
00:49:45Well, that was all right.
00:49:47But what have I got?
00:49:48Solitaire.
00:49:49Solitaire.
00:49:50Waiting for the telephone to Ray.
00:49:52Waiting for you to come.
00:49:54Dying when you don't.
00:49:56I can't meet your friends.
00:49:58Can't make any of my own.
00:50:01You don't know how empty my life is.
00:50:04Ray, darling.
00:50:05Empty?
00:50:06When you have me.
00:50:07That's just the point, darling.
00:50:09I don't always have you.
00:50:11I didn't have you this summer.
00:50:13You're going to be a busier man as the days go by.
00:50:16And there'll be other trips where Ray can't go along.
00:50:20I can't go on, Walter.
00:50:22Waiting.
00:50:23Hoping.
00:50:24Empty handed.
00:50:26Walter.
00:50:28Give me a child.
00:50:34Ray.
00:50:35Are you mad?
00:50:37I can't imagine you even suggesting such a thing.
00:50:40Aside from the moral issue involved.
00:50:42Have you thought of the consequences?
00:50:44No, of course you haven't.
00:50:45Well, it would spell ruination.
00:50:47At least for me.
00:50:48Think of the possible scandal.
00:50:49What it might do to my future.
00:50:51Well, it's unthinkable.
00:50:52After all, Ray, you're not my wife.
00:50:58Oh, Ray.
00:51:00I'm sorry.
00:51:01I didn't mean to say that.
00:51:03It's all right, Walter.
00:51:07You're just tired and nervous.
00:51:09You're not yourself.
00:51:10Otherwise, you'd never suggest such a thing.
00:51:11You couldn't even think of it.
00:51:15Yes, you're right.
00:51:17I am tired.
00:51:39Ray.
00:51:40I must be going, dear.
00:51:41I wish I could stay on, but...
00:51:42You know how it is.
00:51:46I'm so sorry, sweet.
00:51:49Please forgive me.
00:51:50Of course, Walter.
00:51:51Of course, Walter.
00:51:52Ray, I must be going, dear.
00:51:57I wish I could stay on, but you know how it is.
00:52:06I'm so sorry, sweet.
00:52:08Please forgive me.
00:52:11Of course, Walter.
00:52:22I'll see you tomorrow, dear.
00:52:35Good night, dear.
00:52:37Good night, Walter.
00:52:52Good night, Walter.
00:53:19Look.
00:53:34Come in.
00:53:37Ray, I'm sorry I kept you waiting, but just as I was leaving the hotel, I got a long-distance
00:53:41telephone call.
00:53:43Ray, I've got to go back.
00:53:45To Detroit?
00:53:46Tonight.
00:53:47I'm sorry.
00:53:47Isn't that the limit, though?
00:53:49After all the things we'd planned to do?
00:53:52It's been the swellest time I ever had, ever hoped to have.
00:53:56But there's a big business deal on, and I've just got to go back.
00:54:00I'd like to chuck the whole thing, though, and just be with you.
00:54:07Ray, what's the matter?
00:54:09Oh, it's nothing.
00:54:10I'm just not myself this evening, that's all.
00:54:11I'm just not myself this evening, that's all.
00:54:17It's been nice having you here.
00:54:21I'm heartbroken you're leaving like this.
00:54:24I'll miss you, Kurt.
00:54:25It's been nice to have you say that, because I, well, leaving like this all of a sudden,
00:54:30it gives me courage to ask you something.
00:54:32Something I've asked you before, something I'll keep on asking you, if I can keep my health.
00:54:38Oh, I don't blame you for turning me down before.
00:54:40I was an awful greenhorn then, and as poor as a church mouse.
00:54:43But that didn't...
00:54:44Oh, let me finish, will you?
00:54:45Gee, just when I get going strong, you have to go and bud in.
00:54:48Have a heart.
00:54:50Well, anyway, I'm rich now, or thereabouts, and I'm still goofy about you.
00:54:55Will you, Ray?
00:54:56You're fine, Kurt.
00:54:57Yes, I know all about that.
00:54:58But that doesn't answer my question.
00:55:01Will you, Ray?
00:55:02You're fine, Kurt.
00:55:03Yes, I know all about that.
00:55:04But that doesn't answer my question.
00:55:06Will you, Ray?
00:55:08Will you, Ray?
00:55:11Kurt, you know what I am.
00:55:15Ray Schmidt, the swellest girl a fella ever knew.
00:55:25Of course, if you're not free.
00:55:31I am.
00:55:34I wasn't, Kurt.
00:55:36But I am now.
00:55:37But I am now.
00:56:06There, I am.
00:56:07I am.
00:56:08I am.
00:56:09I am.
00:56:11I am.
00:56:12I am.
00:56:13Oh dear, there's that bell again.
00:56:15I beg your pardon.
00:56:16Does Mrs. Hugo Haincliffe here?
00:56:18She does, but if you're a salesman, you might just as well.
00:56:20Mrs. Madam, I'm not selling anything.
00:56:22I'm looking for Mrs. Ray Schmidt.
00:56:23Oh.
00:56:24Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:56:25Won't you come in?
00:56:26Yes, ma'am.
00:56:27Oh, I didn't mean to be so rude.
00:56:28But you know, 10 times today, I'm looking for Mrs. Ray Schmidt.
00:56:30Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:56:32Won't you come in?
00:56:33Oh, I, I didn't mean to be so rude, but you know, ten times a day, I have to stop my work and go to that door, and nine times out of ten, well, you know how it is.
00:56:41Do come into the living room, won't you?
00:56:43They ought to be back any minute now. She just went downtown to do some shopping.
00:56:47Mommy, who's the man?
00:56:49Why, Hugo, is that nice manners? Now, these are my children, Mr. I don't believe I caught the name.
00:56:55Water Saxon.
00:56:56Oh, yes, Mrs. Saxon. Well, this is little Hugo and my little girl, Ray.
00:57:03Hello, Ray. Hello.
00:57:06You're not a nice little girl.
00:57:08You bet.
00:57:11How is Ray?
00:57:12Oh, she's just fine. She just came down to visit us.
00:57:15She's going to be married soon to Kurt Schendler from Cincinnati, a perfectly splendid chap.
00:57:20Would you believe it? He used to be a laughingstock just because he believed in the future of the auto.
00:57:24In fact, I was one of the few people who ever encouraged him.
00:57:29Ray, I'll pick you up at 6.30.
00:57:31All right, Chris.
00:57:32Goodbye.
00:57:32Bye.
00:57:47Hello, Ray.
00:57:49Hello.
00:57:51I found your note in the apartment.
00:57:54You didn't mean it when you said this was the end.
00:57:56I've missed you, Ray.
00:58:13I've missed you, too.
00:58:16If you wanted to make me suffer, you've succeeded.
00:58:19It's been terrible.
00:58:25I never knew I could need any human being as I've needed you.
00:58:29I have no right to ask anything of you, Ray.
00:58:32I'm a cat, if you like.
00:58:33I can't offer you any of the things you're about to enjoy, home, respectability, children.
00:58:41I only know one thing.
00:58:43I need you.
00:58:46I love you.
00:58:47Come back to me, Ray.
00:58:50Come back to me, Ray.
00:59:00You're trying to run away from something, Ray, and you can't.
00:59:03We belong to each other.
00:59:04But, Walter, if I do go back, where will it all end?
00:59:19I love you, Ray.
00:59:20Now, it's there to work and talk to you about the strange landscape that you've been searching for.
00:59:41Yeah.
00:59:42Come back, Ruby.
00:59:43Up here.
00:59:44Up here.
00:59:45Up here.
00:59:46Here I am.
00:59:47You're coming.
00:59:47How do you do, Captain?
00:59:51How do you do, Mr. Saxon?
00:59:53Glad to have you with us.
00:59:53It's a pleasure, indeed.
00:59:54By the way, do you remember Mrs. Saxon?
00:59:57My son.
00:59:58How do you do?
00:59:59And my daughter.
01:00:00Darling, Mr.
01:00:01I trust we have a nice passage.
01:00:02I hope so, sir.
01:00:03If there's anything we can do for your comfort, just call on us.
01:00:05Thank you very much.
01:00:13Thank you, Mr. Saxon.
01:00:15I represent the New York Tribute.
01:00:16Right, what can I do for you?
01:00:17It wouldn't be the gist of your speech before the Reparations Commission in Burlington.
01:00:21Well, I have the slightest idea.
01:00:23Maybe you could help me.
01:00:24Oh, Mr. Saxon.
01:00:25Well, suppose I did tell you.
01:00:26All my clever ideas would be broadcast.
01:00:28Then some other clever thief would steal my thunder.
01:00:31No, thank you.
01:00:32Oh, Mr. Saxon.
01:00:32Mr. Saxon, just a moment, please.
01:00:39Well, there's one half of Walter Saxon's life.
01:00:43And there comes the better half.
01:00:45Where?
01:00:46That stunning woman in black, with the silver fox trimming.
01:00:55Doesn't look like the dangerous siren, does she?
01:00:57Not exactly.
01:00:59But wherever Walter Saxon goes, his shadow is sure to follow.
01:01:03Well, I wonder if Corinne knows, my dear heartily.
01:01:08Corinne thinks the mistress is something you read about in a French novel.
01:01:11Thank you very much.
01:01:12Oh, Mr. Saxon.
01:01:13This way, please.
01:01:16Now, Mr. Saxon, please.
01:01:17How about one of you and the family for the Victoria Weekly?
01:01:19Oh.
01:01:19Look, Richard.
01:01:28Quick.
01:01:29Where?
01:01:33Watch your step, please.
01:01:35Officer, could you direct me to my stateroom, please?
01:01:38What, please?
01:01:38Uh-huh.
01:01:39How did you know?
01:01:41Richard, a nice girl like me may be blind, but she's not exactly dead.
01:01:48Come on, she knows we're staring at you.
01:01:49I won't budge.
01:01:51Second companionway on your left.
01:01:55I'm sick of it, I tell you.
01:01:57We've all been humiliated long enough, and something's got to be done about it.
01:02:00Who's going to do it?
01:02:03I am.
01:03:03Good evening, Miss Schmidt.
01:03:17Good evening, Mr. Saxon.
01:03:19Have you had your dinner?
01:03:21Yes, thank you.
01:03:24I'm afraid I won't get to see much of you on this trip, Ray.
01:03:28Well, that's all right, Walter.
01:03:29It seems that everyone on this boat knows me.
01:03:33I understand.
01:03:36I'll see you in Paris as soon as we arrive, the usual place.
01:03:41There's so many things I want to talk over with you before I go into conference.
01:03:45All right, Walter.
01:03:45Have a nice trip.
01:04:03Have a nice trip.
01:04:07Here, here, what's the matter with you?
01:04:16You've been trying to get us that big dog all day.
01:04:19Listen to him, Paul.
01:04:20If he ever gets a hold of you, there'll be no more little doggy.
01:04:24Come on, now.
01:04:25Come on, get up here on your chair.
01:04:35We have a nice hot drink all ready for you.
01:04:37I adore this place.
01:04:40It's only a hotel suite, but you do something to it.
01:04:43The magical touch of a woman's hand.
01:04:46Makes even the darkest corner seem grand.
01:04:49Thanks, idiot.
01:04:57Takes the French to make chocolate.
01:05:00And Ray Smith to brew it.
01:05:03Want some gingerbread?
01:05:04By the way, where's my speech?
01:05:14Watch out here.
01:05:15It's all ready for you.
01:05:24Here it is.
01:05:26Like it?
01:05:27I think it's the best you've ever written, Walter.
01:05:29They don't say a word about your share, huh?
01:05:32My share?
01:05:34Mm-hmm, your share.
01:05:36I know, darling.
01:05:37I used to kid myself that I was doing it all.
01:05:39A very smart young fellow.
01:05:42I know better now.
01:05:43Oh, Walter, don't be so absurd.
01:05:49And don't you start an argument, either.
01:05:51I'm in no mood to be trifled with.
01:05:53You wouldn't strike a lady, would you, Mr. Saxel?
01:05:56Wouldn't I, though?
01:05:57I'm in no mood to be trifled with my hair.
01:05:58I'm in no mood to be trifled with my hair.
01:06:13This is no way to relax.
01:06:18No kidding, Ray. You'll grow lovely with the years.
01:06:21You'll be stunning with white hair.
01:06:23Don't ever tamper with it.
01:06:25I'd love artificiality. Besides, it would never go with you.
01:06:28You're too real and fine.
01:06:30I wish I could take you to Berlin with me.
01:06:44Will you be gone long, Walter?
01:06:46About four days. I'm flying both ways.
01:06:48Have a good time while I'm gone.
01:06:52Trust me.
01:06:54I'll hound the casino every night.
01:06:57Gambler.
01:06:59Remind me to leave you some money before I go, won't you?
01:07:27Hello, gentlemen.
01:07:32Five.
01:07:33Five.
01:07:35Six.
01:07:36Seven.
01:07:37Eight.
01:07:40Five.
01:07:44Ten years long.
01:07:46Ten years long.
01:07:48Ten years long.
01:07:50Ten years long.
01:07:52Ten years long.
01:07:54La train !
01:07:56Un peu !
01:07:58Allons messieurs !
01:08:02Prêt de moi aux jeux !
01:08:04Prêt de moi aux jeux, messieurs !
01:08:06Je te sentais ?
01:08:24Come in.
01:08:46I don't think we need an introduction, Mrs. Schmidt.
01:08:49I have known about you for years.
01:08:51You've followed my father and all of us like a loathsome shadow.
01:08:55Everyone seems to be aware of you except my mother.
01:08:57The chances are she'll know before long.
01:08:59My sister's about to be married into a highly respectable aristocratic family.
01:09:03If there should be any question about you, Mrs. Schmidt, it would come to my mother's ears.
01:09:07Mother doesn't realize there are such women as you.
01:09:09And I mean to see that she never shall.
01:09:12Get out of our life, Mrs. Schmidt.
01:09:14I'd tear you out if I had my way.
01:09:16I know your kind, cold-hearted, selfish, and calculating,
01:09:19with only one object in view.
01:09:21To secure yourself at any cost.
01:09:24I shan't ask you to consider my sister or myself.
01:09:27What could children mean to a woman like you?
01:09:29Oh, please.
01:09:29I haven't come to argue with you.
01:09:30I've come to warn you.
01:09:32Get out of my father's life.
01:09:34Now, forever.
01:09:36I'll see that you're properly rewarded.
01:09:39After all, money is the thing that counts, isn't it?
01:09:43Come in.
01:09:44Come in.
01:09:45Come in.
01:09:45Come in.
01:09:51Hello, Dick.
01:10:04What are you doing here?
01:10:05I have a right to be here.
01:10:07I didn't question that, son.
01:10:09I merely asked you what you were doing here.
01:10:12I came to ask your...
01:10:14Dick.
01:10:14Sit down, son.
01:10:23I want to talk to you.
01:10:33Please don't go.
01:10:33Sit down, son.
01:10:55I want to talk to you.
01:11:06Dick.
01:11:08Long before you were born,
01:11:10two months before I married your mother,
01:11:13I met Ray Schmidt.
01:11:14And for 25 years,
01:11:34we've loved each other.
01:11:36I suppose, Dick,
01:11:38you're still too young to know
01:11:39just how long that is.
01:11:40What I've given her
01:11:43hasn't been taken from my family.
01:11:45It was something they didn't want.
01:11:47And she, for some reason or other,
01:11:49was happy to have.
01:11:51What she's given me,
01:11:53no one else ever offered me.
01:11:57This is a corner of my life
01:11:59that belongs to me alone.
01:12:01You can't get into it, Dick.
01:12:03Or force me out.
01:12:07That's all.
01:12:08Well, what am I supposed to do?
01:12:12Cheer?
01:12:14You're supposed to understand
01:12:15if you're big enough.
01:12:17And if I'm not big enough?
01:12:20Then you're supposed to mind
01:12:21your own business and get out.
01:12:24I'll get out.
01:12:26But this is my business.
01:12:28And I think you're both
01:12:29contemptible and rotten.
01:12:33Get out.
01:12:38Walter, you shouldn't have spoken
01:12:44to him like that.
01:12:46He's your son.
01:12:49Of course he is.
01:12:52And I love him
01:12:53more than even you realize.
01:12:59But I'd gladly give up
01:13:00all I have.
01:13:02Life itself.
01:13:03for that little pink nose of yours.
01:13:33Ray.
01:13:42I love you.
01:13:46I know it.
01:13:48Don't ever leave me.
01:13:51I won't, Walter.
01:14:03We're going to have tomorrow
01:14:06all to ourselves.
01:14:07Would you like that?
01:14:10I'll be over the first thing
01:14:11in the morning
01:14:11we'll have breakfast together.
01:14:17So, Ray.
01:14:20What did Richard say to you?
01:14:23Not a thing that mattered, Walter.
01:14:27Don't forget.
01:14:29Breakfast at nine.
01:14:30You know I'm always punctual.
01:14:35When it comes to one of your breakfasts.
01:14:40Good night, sweetheart.
01:14:42Good night, Walter.
01:15:00Come in.
01:15:13Ah, good morning, madame.
01:15:15Il fait un temps superbeau aujourd'hui.
01:15:17Merci.
01:15:30Walter.
01:15:39Walter.
01:15:42Oh, my poor darling.
01:16:00I'll just see the doctor.
01:16:11I'll be back soon.
01:16:16Doctor, what is it?
01:16:22What?
01:16:24My son.
01:16:26I think he wants to talk to you.
01:16:34Did you want to speak to me, Dad?
01:16:38Oh, Lord.
01:16:42Excuse me, mother.
01:16:42Dad wants to speak to me.
01:16:43Just a minute.
01:16:44Just a minute.
01:16:44What is it, Dad?
01:16:56You want me to get someone on the telephone?
01:17:06Moparnas.
01:17:15Moparnas.
01:17:20Six.
01:17:21Seven.
01:17:24Five.
01:17:25Three.
01:17:28Moparnas.
01:17:29Six, seven, five, three.
01:17:32Please.
01:17:36Hello.
01:17:43Is this Moparnas, six, seven, five, three?
01:17:46Yes.
01:17:47Yes.
01:17:57Hold the phone just a minute, please.
01:18:06This is Moparnas.
01:18:06Okay, let's see.
01:18:06I don't know.
01:18:07It's Moparnas.
01:18:08I don't know.
01:18:25It's Moparnas.
01:18:25Ray.
01:18:27Ray.
01:18:29Walter.
01:18:35Ray.
01:18:37Ray.
01:18:39Yes, I'm here.
01:18:41I'm listening.
01:18:43Why?
01:18:45I can't hear you, dear.
01:18:47What are you trying to say to me?
01:18:55Dad.
01:18:57Dad!
01:18:59Nurse!
01:19:01Doctor!
01:19:03Look.
01:19:05Doctor, quick!
01:19:07Doctor.
01:19:09What is it?
01:19:11What is it?
01:19:13What is it?
01:19:15What is it?
01:19:17What is it?
01:19:19What is it?
01:19:21What is it?
01:19:23What is it?
01:19:25What is it?
01:19:27He's passed on.
01:19:33Walter!
01:19:35Walter!
01:19:37Walter!
01:19:39Don't leave me!
01:19:41Don't leave me!
01:19:45Dad.
01:19:47Dad.
01:19:53I love you.
01:19:55I love you.
01:19:57I love you.
01:19:59I love you.
01:20:01Don't leave me.
01:20:03I love you.
01:20:05You want me to leave me.
01:20:07I love you.
01:20:09Dad.
01:20:11I love you.
01:20:13What is it?
01:20:15I like it.
01:20:17Come in.
01:20:45May I come in?
01:20:47May I come?
01:20:57I know my father would have wanted me to come.
01:21:01I suppose you know everything.
01:21:07His last thoughts were of you, Mrs. Schmidt.
01:21:13I got you on the telephone.
01:21:15He tried to speak to you, but...
01:21:19Mrs. Schmidt, my father would have wanted you provided for.
01:21:22I know that from something he said to me that night I came here.
01:21:25Of course there was no mention of you in his will.
01:21:27There couldn't be.
01:21:29Did he make any provision for you?
01:21:33Well, how much did my father...
01:21:35I mean, what was the...
01:21:38Two hundred dollars.
01:21:40A week?
01:21:41A month.
01:21:44You mean everything?
01:21:46Everything.
01:21:47Good heavens.
01:21:49Good heavens.
01:21:54Do you intend to stay here?
01:22:00I want to go home.
01:22:03Yes.
01:22:04Yes, of course.
01:22:22Every first of the month the money will be sent to your New York address.
01:22:24And if you ever need any help...
01:22:27Please, call on me.
01:22:28Call on me.
01:22:29Please, call on me.
01:22:52Walter.
01:22:54Your son...
01:22:56Going to take care of me.
01:22:59He was so nice.
01:23:02He might have been my son.
01:23:06Our son.
01:23:15I wonder, Walter...
01:23:16What would have happened...
01:23:19What would have happened...
01:23:23If I'd met your mother...
01:23:26That day...
01:23:30Even Pop.
01:23:46What would have happened?
01:23:47What would have happened?
01:23:48Never mind.
01:23:50No.
01:23:52I'd like to work.
01:23:53To be alive.
01:23:55I'd like to stay here...
01:23:57Mother.
01:23:58This is Ray Schmidt.
01:24:00So you are Ray Schmidt.
01:24:04You are nice.
01:24:08My dear.
01:24:09You're all he said you were.
01:24:11And I hope you both will be very happy.
01:24:13Shall we go?
01:24:23I'm coming, Walter.
01:24:29I'm coming.
01:24:43I'm coming.
01:25:13I'm coming.
