Second Chorus (1940) is an American musical comedy directed by H. C. Potter, starring Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, and bandleader Artie Shaw. The story follows two trumpet‑playing college students, Danny O’Neill and Hank Taylor, who deliberately fail year after year to stay in school and keep playing in their campus swing band. Their rivalry intensifies when they both fall for Ellen Miller, a savvy young woman who becomes their manager.
When Ellen is hired by Artie Shaw, the two men compete for a spot in his orchestra — and for Ellen’s affection — leading to schemes, sabotage, and a climactic performance where Astaire tap‑dances while conducting the band. The film is known for its lively swing numbers and for featuring Artie Shaw playing himself.

00:00:00The End
00:00:42¶¶
00:01:12¶¶
00:01:36¶¶
00:01:37The leader's Danny O'Neill.
00:01:39Do you know him?
00:01:40Oh, sure.
00:01:41He's the best trumpet player this college ever had.
00:01:43Let's get closer.
00:01:44I thought you'd like the music.
00:01:47¶¶
00:02:13Great, wasn't it, Alan?
00:02:17¶¶
00:02:18Hi, Stu. Where have you been?
00:02:19Oh, I've been around.
00:02:21Funny, I was just saying the other day, I ought to see more of old Stu.
00:02:25Well, we'd better go sit down or something, Alan.
00:02:28See you later.
00:02:28Your playing was wonderful.
00:02:31Thanks.
00:02:33You don't think she meant you, do you?
00:02:34You don't think she meant you, do you?
00:02:38Wait a minute.
00:02:39You don't think she'd fall for that station house music of yours?
00:02:41Isn't it not so much my music, it's my personality, I'll show you.
00:02:47Hello, Stu.
00:02:48Oh, Mr. O'Neill.
00:02:50Won't you join?
00:02:51Oh, thank you.
00:02:52See you later, son.
00:02:55Well, Stu.
00:02:57Do you want something?
00:02:58Me?
00:02:59No, no, no.
00:03:02I've been wanting to meet you for some time, Mr. O'Neill.
00:03:05That's wonderful.
00:03:06You mean you like the band?
00:03:08Oh, I didn't mean that I wanted to meet the band exactly,
00:03:10although I thought they did back you up rather well.
00:03:14Thanks.
00:03:15Is there any special number you'd like to hear?
00:03:17I would like to hear the call me up and call me down blues.
00:03:21The what?
00:03:22The call me up and call me down blues.
00:03:25Oh, I know what you mean.
00:03:27I'm afraid I haven't got the number.
00:03:29Oh, I'm sure you'll be able to get a hold of it.
00:03:33Why don't you go back to the bandstand and look for it?
00:03:35No hurry, Stu.
00:03:37Such a long time since you and I have got together,
00:03:39I want to make the most of it.
00:03:41It's heartwarming, that's what it is.
00:03:43Nothing like old college friends, I always say.
00:03:47All for one.
00:03:49And all for one.
00:03:52Yes, sir.
00:03:54I think I better be getting back.
00:03:56So long, Stu.
00:03:57So long.
00:04:05All right, boys.
00:04:06Number nine.
00:04:22Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:04:35Well, why can't you go on a picnic?
00:04:37Mr. Dunn is inside, Mr. Taylor.
00:04:39Mr. Dunn?
00:04:39Mr. Dunn wouldn't be any fun on a picnic.
00:04:41Look, this is a collection agency, not an escort bureau.
00:04:43Now, will you please get off my desk?
00:04:45Is this fellow annoying you, Miss Miller?
00:04:46Hello.
00:04:47Hello.
00:04:48Well, I just seen Miss Miller hear about the encyclopedias.
00:04:52You see, I figure I can take care of the details.
00:04:54As Miss Miller was kind enough to serve me with the summons,
00:04:56I'll explain the details.
00:04:57What is there to explain?
00:04:58Seven years ago, you bought a set of encyclopedias
00:05:01for which you've never paid.
00:05:02But I didn't buy them.
00:05:03Please, you're wasting my time.
00:05:04See that, Danny?
00:05:05You're wasting Miss Miller's time.
00:05:06As I was saying,
00:05:08seven years ago, I must have broken a mirror
00:05:10because that walked in and became my roommate.
00:05:13I was only a simple freshman at the time.
00:05:15What are you now, a simple sophomore?
00:05:17Oh, now, Miss Miller, you're being a bit unkind.
00:05:19After all, we've worked hard to stay in college this long.
00:05:22He's right.
00:05:22Now, it's not easy for a couple of bright guys like us
00:05:24to go on flunking year after year.
00:05:26What in the world are you talking about?
00:05:28Well, it's like this.
00:05:29You see, as long as we can stay in college,
00:05:31the band makes us a very comfortable living.
00:05:32That's right.
00:05:33Five, six thousand dollars a year now
00:05:34that's more you can make on Wall Street.
00:05:36Besides, it's a nice life.
00:05:37Cultural, relaxing, gay.
00:05:40But getting back to the subject,
00:05:41this roommate whom I trusted implicitly
00:05:43ordered a set of encyclopedias in my name.
00:05:45That's gratitude.
00:05:46It was a birthday present.
00:05:48You were crazy about him.
00:05:49I was crazy about him until I got the bill.
00:05:51Miller!
00:05:53What's this?
00:05:55Mr. O'Neill, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Dunn.
00:05:58Oh, yes.
00:05:59Oh, yes!
00:06:01Step right in.
00:06:07Now, look, Mr. Dunn, here's the situation.
00:06:09We're temporarily embarrassed.
00:06:10See, we're working our way through college.
00:06:12Just college kids, you know.
00:06:13You've been working your way through college
00:06:14for the last seven years.
00:06:16Well, now, it takes time.
00:06:17Especially when you're struggling.
00:06:18Boys, you don't pull any wool over me.
00:06:20You ain't broke.
00:06:20You ain't struggling.
00:06:22You mean you doubt our word?
00:06:23You said it.
00:06:23I've got your number.
00:06:24You're a businessman.
00:06:25Now, pay up or go to jail.
00:06:27That's final.
00:06:28Final, eh?
00:06:29Final.
00:06:29Final.
00:06:31Well, uh, maybe we ought to ask for an extension.
00:06:34Yeah.
00:06:35Hit it.
00:06:35Okay, Dunn.
00:06:36We do make money.
00:06:37That's it.
00:06:38We haven't got any right now.
00:06:38Just give us one month.
00:06:39Just one month's extension.
00:06:41Okay, Dunn.
00:06:41I won't listen.
00:06:42Why, we'll be around for years.
00:06:43What do you think we are?
00:06:43Fly by night?
00:06:44He knows better than that, doesn't he?
00:06:45Everybody in town knows that.
00:06:47Have that money here tomorrow.
00:06:48I'll see you in court.
00:06:56No.
00:06:57No.
00:06:59That's a sordid little fella, isn't he?
00:07:02Sordid little place.
00:07:04Must be a sordid life for such a lovely girl.
00:07:07Oh, there's nothing so sordid about it.
00:07:08Except the people we deal with.
00:07:10It's a pity we can't take Miss Miller out of this.
00:07:12Yes, how'd you like some fresh air?
00:07:14Sorry.
00:07:15I have work to do.
00:07:20She's very business-like, isn't she?
00:07:22Yeah.
00:07:23I like that in a secretary.
00:07:25In fact, I'd like to have a secretary like that.
00:07:30You know, there's an awful lot of work running a band.
00:07:34Come to think of it, we do need a secretary.
00:07:37But I don't need a job.
00:07:40So she doesn't need a job.
00:07:44Huh?
00:07:47Whatever it is, I won't do it.
00:07:49Now, I want to tell you...
00:07:53Oh, Mr. Dunn, I want to do the right thing.
00:07:56We don't care anything about the encyclopedia company.
00:07:58No, we care about you.
00:07:59Oh, yeah.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:00Yeah.
00:08:01Well, maybe I said a few hasty words, boys.
00:08:04Let bygones be bygones, eh?
00:08:07Two dollars.
00:08:08But the bill's 110.
00:08:10That's for you to fix things up.
00:08:12What are you talking about?
00:08:13Are you asking me to take a bribe?
00:08:15A two dollar bribe?
00:08:17Oh, now, come, come, Dunn.
00:08:18We're all men of the world, you know.
00:08:19We'll keep it on our hats.
00:08:20Don't worry about it.
00:08:21Sure, you can depend on us.
00:08:22She'll tell you.
00:08:23She?
00:08:23Who?
00:08:24Miss Miller.
00:08:25Miss Miller.
00:08:26Miss...
00:08:26Miss Miller!
00:08:28Come in here, please.
00:08:29Did you intimate to these gents that I could be bribed?
00:08:32She didn't say you could be bribed.
00:08:33She said you could be fixed.
00:08:34Why, Mr. Dunn, I didn't say any such thing.
00:08:37Oh, yes, you did.
00:08:38Of course you did, Miss Miller.
00:08:39She didn't want us to tell you.
00:08:40Don't believe you, Mr. Dunn.
00:08:41Miss Miller, I heard you myself.
00:08:43Didn't you hear her?
00:08:44We both heard her.
00:08:45We both heard her.
00:08:45Wait a minute.
00:08:46I'll have you dead deeds put in jail, and it's for you, Miss Miller.
00:08:50You are fired.
00:08:51Oh.
00:08:54Thanks a lot, old man.
00:08:57Thanks, old boy.
00:08:59Miss Miller.
00:09:00Miss Miller.
00:09:01Miss Miller.
00:09:02Miss Miller.
00:09:03Wait a minute.
00:09:03Haven't you, Rover boys, caused enough trouble already?
00:09:06It was really a kindly gesture.
00:09:07A very kindly gesture.
00:09:08Now I haven't even a reference.
00:09:09But I don't demand a reference.
00:09:10We know you're for what you are.
00:09:11Yes.
00:09:12You mean you really want me to work for you?
00:09:14Sure.
00:09:14Wouldn't you like to?
00:09:15What's your salary?
00:09:1518 a week.
00:09:16He'll double it.
00:09:17Yeah.
00:09:18Uh, yeah.
00:09:19Well.
00:09:20Hit it.
00:09:21Now, Mr. Dunn, here's the chance of a lifetime.
00:09:22Then we're going to offer you the greatest opportunity you've ever had in your life.
00:09:25We're going to take you out of the game.
00:09:26All right.
00:09:27I'll take it.
00:09:28Go on.
00:09:28When do I start?
00:09:29Right now.
00:09:30Well, now that I'm working for you, I'll tell you something.
00:09:32Dunn can be bought.
00:09:33But his price isn't $2.
00:09:35It's $10.
00:09:35Here, you want to take care of the details.
00:09:38Hey.
00:09:44Well, here we are.
00:09:46You can have half that desk, quarter of that rack, and just go to work.
00:09:50There's only one detail that you've omitted.
00:09:52What are my duties?
00:09:53Oh, you type a little.
00:09:55Telephone a little.
00:09:56Keep the leader happy.
00:09:57Keep your eye on the brass section.
00:09:59I thought you said this was a job.
00:10:01Oh, lining up good engagements is no cinch.
00:10:03What's so difficult about it?
00:10:06Operator, get me the Riverdale Country Club.
00:10:08Oh, no.
00:10:08Oh, no.
00:10:08It's not.
00:10:09We've already tried.
00:10:10Who's in charge there?
00:10:11Uh, Mr. Bent, isn't it?
00:10:12Bent, real sourpuss.
00:10:14Hello, Mr. Bent.
00:10:16This is Mr. O'Neill's secretary.
00:10:18No, Mr. Danny O'Neill, the orchestra leader.
00:10:20I read in the paper that you're planning Halloween dance.
00:10:24Bob Harvey's Cornell Clippers.
00:10:26Oh, but we entertain, too.
00:10:27Do we entertain?
00:10:28No, but we can dream up something.
00:10:29Oh, our entertainment's terrific.
00:10:31That's our strong point.
00:10:32Mr. Bent, until you've seen the perennials, you haven't lived.
00:10:38Oh, it isn't that I don't admire Emil Coleman, but isn't his music a little, shall we say, rowdy?
00:10:45Now, Mr. O'Neill's Salon Ensemble play everything gently but with a lilt, and all his boys are from such
00:10:53nice families.
00:10:54Very well.
00:10:55We'll expect them at 7.30.
00:10:59Believe me, Bud, my outfit are killers.
00:11:02Just what you need for one-nighters.
00:11:03Can they pack him in like Dorsey?
00:11:05Solid, Jack.
00:11:06Murder.
00:11:08Furthermore, I could come down the day before the dance and help you with the decorations.
00:11:12That is, of course, if you want me to.
00:11:14Now, wait a minute, Ben.
00:11:16We took a poll on the campus, and almost everybody voted for Artie Shaw's band.
00:11:20Artie Shaw?
00:11:20Who's Artie Shaw?
00:11:21Yeah, who's Artie Shaw?
00:12:02Yeah, who's Artie Shaw?
00:12:05Yeah, who's Artie Shaw?
00:12:51You were terrific, Chief.
00:12:52Yeah, yeah.
00:12:53A glass of water, please.
00:12:54Yes, sir.
00:12:55Now, what about that prom?
00:12:56Is it set?
00:12:56Not exactly, Chief.
00:12:57They hired that college band.
00:12:59Danny O'Neill's Perennials.
00:13:00O'Neill again, huh?
00:13:01This is the fourth time we've run into them on college dates.
00:13:05Either they've got a great band or a fine manager.
00:13:08I've got to go up and hear them sometime.
00:13:09I wouldn't worry about them, Chief.
00:13:11They'll be graduating in another week.
00:13:13Not the Perennials.
00:13:16It's okay, boys.
00:13:18Okay.
00:13:18No graduation this year.
00:13:20I flunked three courses.
00:13:25All right, boys.
00:13:26Break it up.
00:13:26Break it up.
00:13:27Oh, Danny, you're wonderful.
00:13:29Well, Danny, old boy, we made it again, huh?
00:13:32Uh, what's the matter?
00:13:34Well, Hank, I don't quite know how to tell you.
00:13:37What do you mean?
00:13:38I passed?
00:13:42Oh, listen, I couldn't graduate.
00:13:44Not with my marks.
00:13:45What, are you kidding me?
00:13:49Oh, listen, there must be some mistake.
00:13:52I'm not going to take this lying down.
00:13:54I'm going to say the dean about it.
00:13:55They can't do this to me.
00:13:59Oh, Danny.
00:14:02Poor old Hank.
00:14:03He got careless.
00:14:04You didn't have anything to do with this, did you?
00:14:07Why, Ellen.
00:14:09Of course, a little peace and quiet won't hurt either of us.
00:14:12But poor Hank.
00:14:13You still have me.
00:14:15I guess we'll just have to carry on as good old Hank would have wanted us to.
00:14:21It seems to me.
00:14:23It seems to you.
00:14:24I said it seems to me.
00:14:26You said it seems to you.
00:14:28Seems to me I smell a mouse.
00:14:30Somewhere about the house.
00:14:33It seems to me.
00:14:35It seems to you.
00:14:36I said it seems to me.
00:14:37You said it seems to you.
00:14:39That such an embarrassing situation calls for concentration.
00:14:44Do you dig me, Jack?
00:14:45We dig you, Jack.
00:14:46Can you think of a plan?
00:14:48Be solid gant.
00:14:49To get me out of this mess?
00:14:50Uh, yes, yes, yes.
00:14:52We'll start the music.
00:14:53And play it back.
00:14:55Solid Jack.
00:14:56Solid Jack.
00:14:59Can you sing and dance?
00:15:01I'll take a chance.
00:15:02Are your boots on right?
00:15:03I got a place to dive.
00:15:04Is Miss Miller a killer?
00:15:06From a Spanish villa.
00:15:07Is her dancing mellow?
00:15:08Why, mellow as a cello.
00:15:10Then it seems to me.
00:15:11I'll be asleep.
00:15:12You want to go right into your cursing career.
00:15:15What will it be?
00:15:16Don't look at me.
00:15:18Now let me see.
00:15:20What will it be?
00:15:22I never could do the conga.
00:15:24Could never get through the conga.
00:15:27But if you say do the conga.
00:15:29I ain't hept to that step.
00:15:31But I'll dig it.
00:15:32I never could see.
00:15:33Mazurkas.
00:15:34They're poison to me.
00:15:35Mazurkas.
00:15:36But if it's to be.
00:15:37Mazurkas.
00:15:38I ain't hept to that step.
00:15:40But I'll dig it.
00:15:41Mazurkas.
00:15:42When they invented Charleston.
00:15:44He was a total flop.
00:15:45Mazurkas.
00:15:46But say.
00:15:47If you want a Charleston.
00:15:48I'll never stop.
00:15:49I'll dance till I drop.
00:15:50I never could dig.
00:15:52The polka.
00:15:52The corniest jig.
00:15:54The polka.
00:15:55But if you say dig.
00:15:56The polka.
00:15:57I ain't hept to that step.
00:15:59But I'll dig it.
00:16:20I think I better like this.
00:16:23Yeah.
00:16:46I think I better like this.
00:17:00I think I better like this.
00:17:30I think I better like this.
00:18:24I think I better like this.
00:18:45I think I better like this.
00:18:48I think I better like this.
00:18:50Say what do you got there?
00:18:51What's that?
00:18:52What's that?
00:18:54Encyclopedia.
00:18:56Oh.
00:18:57Think of it Hank.
00:18:59You'll go into your father's textile business.
00:19:01A cog in a great industry.
00:19:03Stamping your personality on miles and miles of tweed.
00:19:07Making the wheels turn.
00:19:09Making the wheels turn.
00:19:09Making the wheels turn.
00:19:09Punching the clock.
00:19:10Listening to the song of the loons.
00:19:15What volume is that?
00:19:18It's ham to ilk.
00:19:20Why?
00:19:21Oh, nothing.
00:19:23Music wasn't for you, Hank.
00:19:25You could never have got anywhere with that beat-up trumpet of yours.
00:19:29Your medium is textiles.
00:19:30Your father was a textile man.
00:19:32So was his father before him.
00:19:33Why, you've got wool in your blood, Hank.
00:19:36Thank you very much.
00:19:39What's the bookmark for?
00:19:41Oh, it's an article there.
00:19:43Rather interested the dean.
00:19:46Yes, you know, funny thing about that article.
00:19:49It's almost identical with my thesis.
00:19:53Interesting coincidence.
00:19:54Yeah, that's what the dean thought.
00:19:56You know, I had quite a time trying to persuade him that the marginal notes weren't mine.
00:20:01As a matter of fact, I tried to convince him that the handwriting wasn't yours.
00:20:06Yeah?
00:20:08Yeah.
00:20:08What'd he say?
00:20:09He said you were fired.
00:20:11You dog.
00:20:12Ah, take it easy, Danny.
00:20:13You low, conniving dog.
00:20:15You two will have to face the world.
00:20:17Fall right into your father's concrete.
00:20:18You'll be a cog within a cog.
00:20:20You can't get away from it, Danny, my boy.
00:20:21You've got concrete in your bones.
00:20:23Danny!
00:20:24Hank!
00:20:25Hurry!
00:20:28Wonderful news.
00:20:29Hurry.
00:20:29Look, telegram.
00:20:31We'll be in town sadly.
00:20:32We'd like to look over your outfit, Artie Shaw.
00:20:34Say, well, there it is.
00:20:36That's it.
00:20:36Shaw wants to look me over.
00:20:38Look you over.
00:20:39Look us over.
00:20:39All right, us.
00:20:41Huh.
00:20:41Seems to be in a kind of a rush about it.
00:20:43I wonder how soon he'd want me to start.
00:20:45Hey, it didn't take him long to find out that I'd be available, did it?
00:20:47You'll be available indefinitely, I'm afraid.
00:20:49Yeah, now then.
00:20:49First thing tomorrow, I must find Ellen a new job.
00:20:52Don't bother.
00:20:53As soon as I get set, I'll send for you.
00:20:55Oh, that's very kind of you.
00:20:57All right, now, come on, let's get organized.
00:20:58Call the boys and tell them to be there early.
00:21:00Some are uniforms, and you, you go home and run your scales.
00:21:03Come on.
00:21:13Look, brother, don't bury it.
00:21:14I'll be out in a few minutes.
00:21:16Are you sure?
00:21:35He's here.
00:21:35Good, thanks.
00:21:38Hey, what about the buck you promised me?
00:21:41All right, all right.
00:21:43Beat it.
00:21:44All right.
00:21:47Okay, gang, sweet Sue.
00:21:50Hank, Shaw, he's coming in now.
00:21:52Swell, thanks, pal.
00:21:54Come on, give out.
00:21:59I'll bring you some change.
00:22:04Now, a nice easy background on this one, boys.
00:22:06Hey, Danny, why don't you lay out this one?
00:22:08Save your lip till Shaw comes.
00:22:09I'll take the lead.
00:22:10Are you kidding?
00:22:11I'm okay.
00:22:11I've been in the woodshed.
00:22:13You've been in the cornfield.
00:22:14All right, boys.
00:22:15One, two.
00:22:17All right, boys.
00:22:50Say, there's quite a little shindig you're pitching in here.
00:22:53Gee, thanks, Mr. Shaw.
00:22:54Band on straight salary or percentage?
00:22:56Oh, percentage.
00:22:57Hmm, smart, huh?
00:22:58Thanks again, Mr. Shaw.
00:22:59Where's Mr. Miller?
00:23:01Mr. Miller.
00:23:01Yeah, the manager of the band.
00:23:03Oh, thank Mr. Miller.
00:23:06There she is.
00:23:17This is Mr. Shaw, Mr. Miller.
00:23:19I mean, uh...
00:23:19We've been expecting you, Mr. Shaw.
00:23:21Swell.
00:23:22If you're not too busy, I'd like to talk to you with him.
00:23:24Fine.
00:23:24All right.
00:23:43Good night in the band.
00:23:54Thanks again.
00:24:07It was a very good time to go.
00:24:07Aren't you going to stay near the band?
00:24:09I'd like to go, but I'm on my way down to Trenton to play a date.
00:24:11It was nice talking.
00:24:13Good night.
00:24:14Good night.
00:24:22Good night.
00:24:23Thanks.
00:24:24No trouble.
00:24:27Where is he?
00:24:28He's gone.
00:24:29Gone?
00:24:30Where's Shawl?
00:24:30What did he say?
00:24:31He's gone.
00:24:31You ruined it.
00:24:32What are you talking about?
00:24:33I was terrific.
00:24:34When do I start?
00:24:34Take 10, son.
00:24:36What was his proposition?
00:24:37Well, his proposition rather surprised me.
00:24:40Yes, yes.
00:24:40Gibbled about salary, huh?
00:24:41Wait a minute.
00:24:42I don't work on Sundays.
00:24:43Look, Ellen.
00:24:43What gives?
00:24:44When do I start?
00:24:45You don't.
00:24:46What?
00:24:47Well, then what did he want?
00:24:50Me.
00:24:57Me.
00:25:04Oh, Danny.
00:25:05I brought you, yes?
00:25:07Oh.
00:25:09I guess I'm a little late.
00:25:11Oh, Danny, how darling, have you been Alumni?
00:25:13Been getting the tickets.
00:25:15Is he?
00:25:15Um, gosh, Ellen, I hate to see you go.
00:25:19Well, I-I hate to go, Danny.
00:25:21I'd kind of hope that, uh...
00:25:23What, Danny?
00:25:24Oh, nothing. I guess it was just Kelly, that's all.
00:25:27No, it wasn't. What was it?
00:25:28Excuse me.
00:25:30You're sprouting. Here's the popcorn, Sonny. Hold it for the lady. Here's your ticket, Ellen.
00:25:34Come on, I'll tell the conductor where to let you off.
00:25:48Now then, be a good girl, and don't talk to any strange man.
00:25:51I won't, and then I'll see you in New York?
00:25:53I hope so.
00:25:54Well, I don't know. You know, Portland's a long way from New York, and concrete kind of holds a man
00:25:58down.
00:26:00Well, you'll be there, Hank.
00:26:02No, as a matter of fact, I've got to pay a lot of attention to those mills in Fall River.
00:26:05Oh, I won't be seeing either of you?
00:26:07No.
00:26:09Well, I'm afraid not.
00:26:10Oh!
00:26:11Oh, goodbye, you idiot.
00:26:13Look out for a rocket, Sporty.
00:26:15Goodbye.
00:26:19Bye!
00:26:22We'll just start for Portland.
00:26:24Right.
00:26:26When do you leave for Fall River?
00:26:28Oh, about an hour.
00:26:30I'll see you all.
00:26:32No, don't bother. You've got to pack.
00:26:34Yeah.
00:26:37Well, this is it.
00:26:38Right.
00:26:39So long, Danny.
00:26:40So long, kid. It's been a lot of fun.
00:26:41You better take care of yourself.
00:26:43I'll drop your line.
00:26:44Do that.
00:27:00A college band? Who ever heard of a good college band?
00:27:05Oh, we were under the impression that this was an important affair.
00:27:09Oh, it is.
00:27:10Well, in that case, I know you'll want Mr. Shaw.
00:27:14That's fine. Thank you.
00:27:21A couple of relatives.
00:27:23Well, what's cooking, Ellen?
00:27:24We closed the Atlantic City job on our own terms.
00:27:27Oh, that's swell.
00:27:28And the intercollegiate prom.
00:27:30Not a bad two days' work.
00:27:31Looks like my hunch about you was pretty good.
00:27:33I'm glad.
00:27:34Mr. Shaw, I wonder if I could ask you a favor?
00:27:37Of course.
00:27:38It's about a couple of trumpet players.
00:27:41Oh, well, you see, I always pick my own men, Ellen, and I don't...
00:27:44Of course, but all I want you to do is to hear these boys.
00:27:46They're marvelous.
00:27:47Well, where are they, Rontan?
00:27:48Practically, one's in Portland and the other's in Fall River,
00:27:50but they could be here in a jiffy.
00:27:51Isn't that a lot of traveling, just for an audition?
00:27:53Oh, but they wouldn't mind it.
00:27:54Once you hear them, you know what I mean.
00:27:56Well, if you think they're that good, I'll listen to them.
00:27:58Not at all.
00:28:00Call the Western Union boy to pick up two telegrams.
00:28:09What floor is Artie Shaw on?
00:28:1117th.
00:28:30Aren't you going to Fall River the hard way?
00:28:35I suppose this elevator stops at Portland.
00:28:37No certain last stop is the 22nd floor.
00:28:41So you were going to give a lot of time to the mills.
00:28:43Listen, I got as much right here as you have.
00:28:46Why don't you face facts, Hank?
00:28:47Ellen's not even established yet.
00:28:49She can't possibly get us both in the band.
00:28:50I'm going to get a tryout without Artie Shaw.
00:28:51I'll have to tear down this building floor by floor.
00:28:5417th floor next.
00:28:57Here's a present for you, Sam.
00:28:59Have one on me, Sam.
00:29:07Oh, excuse me.
00:29:09Where's Artie Shaw's office, please?
00:29:10Right that way.
00:29:11Oh, thanks.
00:29:17How do you do?
00:29:17Mr. Taylor, can you see Miss Miller?
00:29:19Miss Miller is very busy right now.
00:29:21Hey, is that a three or five?
00:29:22Well, she'll see me.
00:29:23We went to the same college together.
00:29:24Hey, is that 34 or 54 Highcroft Road?
00:29:2734.
00:29:29Hey, wait a minute.
00:29:29What have you got there?
00:29:31Oh, this is for me.
00:29:32Yeah.
00:29:33Yeah.
00:29:34Hank, Shaw's sending for me.
00:29:35Me too.
00:29:36You know, I knew he'd get around to that sooner or later.
00:29:38Any answers?
00:29:39We'll take care of the answers, bud.
00:29:41Yeah.
00:29:41Thanks.
00:29:42It's all right.
00:29:44What do you make of this?
00:29:45Look at that Fall River.
00:29:46Say.
00:29:48Excuse me.
00:29:53There's something phony about this.
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:55He walked on us at the prom, didn't he?
00:29:57Yeah.
00:29:58You don't suppose it was deliberate?
00:29:59Why would he?
00:30:01You mean he wanted us to cool our heels for a while so we'd work for peanuts?
00:30:04Listen, we're not that hard to get.
00:30:05No, but then he got Ellen down here as a decoy thinking we'd work for nothing on account of her.
00:30:10That's it?
00:30:11How do you like it?
00:30:12I don't like it.
00:30:12He can't treat a friend of ours like that.
00:30:14No, sir.
00:30:15I'll fix him.
00:30:16Just for that, I'm going to ask for $25 a week more.
00:30:1850.
00:30:19Young lady, you can tell Shaw that we'll see him.
00:30:21Mr. Shaw is very busy.
00:30:22Never mind, we'll tell him.
00:30:23Thanks.
00:30:23Come on, hi.
00:30:25Hey, wait a minute!
00:30:28Hi, Shaw.
00:30:29Now, just a minute, fellas.
00:30:30You'll have to wait outside.
00:30:31I'm the new trumpet player you just sent for.
00:30:32Me too.
00:30:33We just got your wire.
00:30:35What?
00:30:35What?
00:30:36Oh, yeah.
00:30:37Well, you certainly took your time getting here.
00:30:40Well, we had a couple of other offers to consider.
00:30:43All right, boys.
00:30:44I'll tell you what you do.
00:30:44Drop down at the hotel tonight and play a couple of tunes with the band.
00:30:47That'll be swell.
00:30:48I'd love to.
00:30:48See you then.
00:30:49I'm sorry.
00:30:50I'm pretty busy now.
00:30:51Well, that's all right.
00:30:51Which is Miss Miller's office?
00:30:53Right across the hall.
00:30:54Oh, thanks.
00:30:55Think I'll have a little talk with her.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:57Yeah.
00:30:58Yeah.
00:31:00Okay, Artie.
00:31:07Ellen!
00:31:09Danny!
00:31:10I can't believe my eyes.
00:31:12Oh, it's so good to see you.
00:31:14Kind of surprised you, huh?
00:31:16Kind of surprised you, huh?
00:31:17And Hank, where did you come from?
00:31:19Artie Shaw's office.
00:31:20We were just talking a little business.
00:31:21But Portland.
00:31:23Portland's loss is your gain.
00:31:24And Fall River?
00:31:25Fall River will have to suffer, too.
00:31:26Did Artie say anything about giving you a tryout?
00:31:29Oh, sure.
00:31:29Oh, darling, that's wonderful.
00:31:31Yes, but we haven't promised him anything yet.
00:31:45Straight ahead.
00:31:47Hey there.
00:31:48Good evening, Cap.
00:31:49I'm the new trumpet player with Artie Shaw.
00:31:51I ain't never seen you before.
00:31:53It's all right.
00:31:53You're gonna see plenty of me from now on.
00:31:55Oh, by the way.
00:31:56If my brother happens to drop around here tonight,
00:31:59tell him that Shaw's not giving any more auditions, see?
00:32:01If he makes a fuss, just throw him out.
00:32:04You know how these little family jealousies are.
00:32:07Thanks.
00:32:08What's your name?
00:32:09Danny O...
00:32:11O Taylor.
00:32:27Danny, I'm so glad you got here early.
00:32:29I was lonesome.
00:32:30I haven't seen you since late this afternoon.
00:32:32Not a bad house.
00:32:33How long we booked here for?
00:32:35You're only booked for one number.
00:32:37This audition?
00:32:38Mere formality.
00:32:40Where's Hank?
00:32:40Hank?
00:32:41How do I know?
00:32:42Am I my brother's keeper?
00:32:44I thought he was coming with you.
00:32:45He probably got cold feet.
00:32:47Couldn't face the humiliation of being turned down.
00:32:50Poor boy.
00:32:51I wish I could do something to help him.
00:32:54Oh, yes.
00:32:55Oh, now, Ellen, I'm very fond of Hank.
00:32:58After all, he did bring us together.
00:32:59If it hadn't been for those encyclopedias, I might never have met you.
00:33:03I'll always be grateful to him for that.
00:33:06Won't you?
00:33:08Danny, this is no time to...
00:33:09Yes, it is.
00:33:09This is just the time.
00:33:10Yesterday, what was I?
00:33:11A carefree schoolboy.
00:33:13Today, what?
00:33:13A man with his career assured.
00:33:15A man with plans for the future.
00:33:18Danny, don't you think you ought to be warming up?
00:33:20I've been warmed up a long time.
00:33:24Tell him.
00:33:28Shall I take the boat?
00:33:30Would you like to be the love of my life?
00:33:36For always and always
00:33:43Watch over me
00:33:47To square my blunders
00:33:51And share my dreams
00:33:55One day with caviar
00:33:59Next day a chocolate bar
00:34:03Would you like to take the merry-go-round?
00:34:08I'll need you
00:34:12I'll need you
00:34:15Just wait till you see
00:34:19I hope in your horoscope
00:34:22There is room for a dope who adores you
00:34:27That would make the only dream of my life
00:34:32Come true
00:34:36For the love of my life
00:34:42Is you
00:34:43Is you
00:34:46Ellen
00:34:52So I'm your brother, huh?
00:34:53I was afraid you wouldn't make it
00:34:55You shouldn't worry about me, Brother Danny
00:34:57Ellen, I think you better leave
00:34:58No, no, stick around
00:34:59What happened, Hank?
00:35:00Brother Danny here framed me with a doorman
00:35:02All I wanted was to be alone with you for once
00:35:04See that? He admits the whole thing
00:35:06Oh, now, wait a minute
00:35:06You know that doorman hit me in the lip?
00:35:08He did?
00:35:08Yeah
00:35:09Oh, that's too bad
00:35:09How'd you like to even it up, huh?
00:35:11How'd you like that?
00:35:12No, boys, please, you have to go on in a minute
00:35:13You're putting me in an awful position
00:35:15Now, come on, let's forget it
00:35:16I'll tell Artie you're here
00:35:17Good luck, darlings
00:35:29You haven't forgotten the two trumpet players
00:35:31No, I'll be right with you
00:36:04Look, I'll put your boys on the next set
00:36:06But first, give me a hand with that character over there
00:36:07He's been here ten nights in a row
00:36:09He's an awful earbender
00:36:17Well, well
00:36:18Mr. Chisholm, this is Miss Miller
00:36:20How do you do, Miss Miller?
00:36:21Well, sir, that last number jump for you
00:36:23Oh, very peppy
00:36:24Very peppy indeed
00:36:25By the way, what chord did we finish on?
00:36:27Uh, B-flat
00:36:28Sure, I missed it again
00:36:30Won't you two join me?
00:36:31I'm sorry, I've gotta get back and play the next number
00:36:33But Miss Miller can tell you all about the band
00:36:34Is Miss Miller hep as you boys say?
00:36:37Hep as they come
00:36:38Fascinating, your swing jargon
00:36:39I'm becoming hep to it myself
00:36:41Well, see you later, Mr. Chisholm
00:36:42So long, gate
00:36:45That's short for alligator
00:36:46Please, be seated
00:36:49Are you a musician, Mr. Chisholm?
00:36:51Oh, I should have been, but I was forced to give it up
00:36:53I said music and Father said bottle caps
00:36:56Father won
00:36:57Oh, what a pity
00:36:58I take it that the banjo is your instrument
00:37:00Oh, no, the mandolin
00:37:01The flat-back mandolin
00:37:03All right, boys, you're on
00:37:04What do you want to play?
00:37:06Uh, how about I'm yours?
00:37:08That's a pretty tough arrangement to play at sight
00:37:09I'll play anything that's on the paper
00:37:12Okay
00:37:12How about you?
00:37:14Pick one
00:37:15All right, I'll leave the book with you
00:37:16Look them over
00:37:17Oh, Artie
00:37:18On the question of who plays first
00:37:19May I suggest alphabetical order in the interest of fairness?
00:37:22Sure, okay
00:37:24All right, we're on in about three minutes
00:37:28What's the matter?
00:37:29Aren't you gonna look over your parts?
00:37:30I couldn't hit a bad note if I tried
00:37:32Not tonight
00:37:33Why is tonight an exception?
00:37:36Oh, I don't know
00:37:37It makes all the difference in the world
00:37:39When you know there's someone depending on you
00:37:41What?
00:37:43Oh, nothing, nothing
00:37:44Nothing at all
00:37:45Who's dependent on you?
00:37:49Nobody
00:37:50Forget it, Hank
00:37:51Forget it
00:37:52Say
00:37:53You were alone here with Ellen when I came in
00:37:56For almost the first time since I've known her
00:37:58Yeah?
00:37:59Well, what happened?
00:38:00What'd you say to her?
00:38:02Look, Hank
00:38:03Ellen and I
00:38:05I don't suppose there's any concern of yours, but
00:38:08When I get set with Shaw
00:38:10Ellen and I
00:38:11You proposed to her
00:38:13What'd she say?
00:38:14She just looked up at me and gave me her tender, unspoken yes
00:38:18How do you know it wasn't an unspoken no?
00:38:21Fella can tell
00:38:22It was one of those rare occasions when silence was more eloquent than words
00:38:27Yeah?
00:38:28Yeah
00:38:31All right
00:38:32That's the way it is
00:38:35Wish you all the happiness in the world
00:38:38Have me over for dinner sometime
00:38:41Thanks, Hank
00:38:41All right
00:38:42I'm glad you're not gonna let this come between us
00:39:14Okay, here we go
00:39:16Here, here, Danny
00:39:16You know what I wish you, Danny boy
00:39:18Yeah
00:39:18You know what I wish you, Allen
00:39:21Great city
00:39:22I don't know Set세요
00:39:23Hello, it is
00:39:23Oh, that was my欸
00:39:28Yeah
00:39:32Hey, syllabi
00:39:45Hey what did a phenomenal grabbing...
00:39:47Whoa, I don't know
00:40:22Fascinating music.
00:40:24I can't understand it.
00:40:44Well, that was just dandy.
00:40:46I'll be sure and call you.
00:40:47And meanwhile, if anything else comes up, take it.
00:40:54You sure you know what you're doing?
00:40:55Say the word.
00:40:57Okay, fellas, here we go.
00:40:58One, two.
00:41:07See what I mean?
00:41:08I've even got music in my feet.
00:41:09Good night, come on.
00:41:10Good night,
00:41:17good night.
00:41:17Good night.
00:41:38Come on.
00:41:56Oh, my God, that's all I need to put out the cue of my car.
00:42:00Get rid of it, sir.
00:42:14Excuse me.
00:42:26Excuse me.
00:42:31I'm finished with both of you.
00:42:35Listen, Alan, let me get all the way up here.
00:42:38After all, you pretended to think of me.
00:42:41After I tried so hard, and after all, he went to the same.
00:42:44Oh, but just one more.
00:42:45Don't blame me for it.
00:42:45I never want to see either of you again.
00:42:48All right, guys.
00:42:49Come on.
00:42:51Come on.
00:42:52I want to tell you something.
00:42:53You can't just.
00:42:59Danny O'Neal, who have you played with?
00:43:01O'Neal's Perennials.
00:43:03Never heard of them.
00:43:04Have you heard of Artie Shaw?
00:43:06Oh, were you associated with him?
00:43:07Associated with him?
00:43:08Why, I made a deeper impression on him than any trumpet player he ever heard.
00:43:11One moment, please.
00:43:19Artie, there was one thing about last night.
00:43:21Maybe I shouldn't bring you that.
00:43:22Now, wait a minute.
00:43:23If it's about those same two...
00:43:24No, no, no.
00:43:24No, it was about Mr. Chisholm.
00:43:26No, I mean it.
00:43:31Yeah?
00:43:33Who?
00:43:33Him.
00:43:35Are you kidding?
00:43:37Well, throw him out.
00:43:38Anything serious?
00:43:40Nah.
00:43:42Out.
00:43:43All right.
00:43:46Hello.
00:43:47Tell Tommy that Hank Taylor's here, will ya?
00:43:49Get off the desk.
00:43:51Huh?
00:43:52All right.
00:43:54Of course Mr. Chisholm talks a lot, but he's sweet.
00:43:57He says he has the soul of an artist and that his money's stifling it.
00:44:00Now, you've always wanted to give a concert.
00:44:02I know I can get him to back you.
00:44:08How do I know he's any different from those crunchy, crinkled breakfast food guys?
00:44:12They've all got some angle.
00:44:13All right.
00:44:14I'll guarantee to get him without one string attached.
00:44:16No musts about what I should play?
00:44:17None.
00:44:18No bottle cap ads?
00:44:19On a bright.
00:44:22Okay.
00:44:23Sounds swell if you can do it.
00:44:24Good.
00:44:25I'll get to work on it right away.
00:44:29Yeah?
00:44:31What?
00:44:31Him.
00:44:32Throw him out.
00:44:36All right.
00:44:37Now, wait a minute.
00:44:37I got office for Miller, Dutz and Goodman.
00:44:39I got plenty of jobs.
00:44:40Don't say I didn't give you a chance.
00:44:50I think I'll put a small wager on magic melody.
00:44:53Oh, Lester, you're wonderful.
00:44:54Always willing to back something musical.
00:44:56Artists need a man like you.
00:44:58You think so?
00:45:12Old English hunting song, I believe.
00:45:15My dear, are you choking?
00:45:30Oh, this place is one of my finds.
00:45:31They're all real musicians.
00:45:33Too bad they're not better known.
00:45:35Oh, Ellen, you remember what you said that I might be able to help?
00:45:38Why can't I give these positions to the world?
00:45:41Oh, but your first duty is to the American artist.
00:45:43Oh, yes, so it is.
00:45:59Hey!
00:46:14Look at it, centuries of Slavic farons have gone into their dance.
00:46:21Hey!
00:46:32Hey!
00:46:34Hey!
00:46:36Hey!
00:46:36Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:37Hey!
00:46:39What's good?
00:46:40What's good?
00:46:41What's perfect?
00:46:42Thank you!
00:46:49Thank you!
00:46:50Thank you!
00:46:55Thank you!
00:47:05The Love of My Life
00:47:36He's miles away, Black's dreaming of some little girl on the steps of Russia.
00:47:41You can tell by his face he's loved and suffered.
00:47:56Black from the strings of your old bird, I like God.
00:48:02Oh, please take me home.
00:48:03I can't stand it.
00:48:07The Love of My Life
00:48:18Is You
00:48:24I can't tell you how much I appreciate you letting me back this concert, Mr. Shaw.
00:48:28Not at all, not at all.
00:48:29And how grateful I am to you, Ellen,
00:48:31to think after all these years I'm back in my true medium.
00:48:35By the way, how much did you say I should arrange for?
00:48:37Roughly 15,000.
00:48:38Well, wouldn't you say that 20 would be safer?
00:48:40After all, the name of Jay Lester Chisholm must stand for nothing but the best.
00:48:44There she goes, there she goes, always thinking of me.
00:48:46I can't tell you what a jewel you have in this little girl.
00:48:49I'm finding out every day.
00:48:51And what an inspiration.
00:48:52You know, Mother actually thinks that every girl who is attracted to me
00:48:55is after the Chisholm money.
00:49:10Come in.
00:49:14Oh, Lester.
00:49:15Stay where you are.
00:49:17Don't move.
00:49:19You don't know what a picture you make there in the candlelight.
00:49:23Lester, you've brought your mandolin.
00:49:25For you.
00:49:25Oh, you shouldn't.
00:49:27Why not?
00:49:28Tonight's our night to celebrate, isn't it?
00:49:30I thought we might have a quiet evening of music.
00:49:32Just you and I, alone.
00:49:34I always say there's nothing like duets to make a home a home.
00:49:40Can I use your house phone, please?
00:49:42Certainly.
00:49:43Who do you wish to speak to?
00:49:44Miss Miller.
00:49:46Who's calling?
00:49:50Mr. Dunn.
00:49:51Oh, Mr. Dunn.
00:49:57Hello?
00:49:57Hello, Ellen.
00:49:58It's me, Danny.
00:50:00I've been trying to get in touch with you.
00:50:01I'm downstairs, and I thought maybe I could...
00:50:04No, I can't see you tonight.
00:50:07No, I'm not being vindictive.
00:50:09I just can't see you tonight.
00:50:11Of course Hank isn't here.
00:50:14Look, Danny, I'll have to talk to you tomorrow.
00:50:16No, he isn't.
00:50:22Alan, wait a minute.
00:50:26Good night, Mr. Dunn.
00:50:27Uh, good night.
00:50:35Mr. Dunn.
00:50:38That was just an old college friend I was talking to.
00:50:40We won't be disturbed again, Lester.
00:50:42Shall we continue while we're in the groove?
00:50:49Beautiful dreamer,
00:50:51Waking up to me.
00:50:54Starlight and blue drops
00:50:57Are waiting for thee.
00:51:01Beautiful dreamer,
00:51:04Queen of my songs.
00:51:07Lisp while I woo thee
00:51:10With soft melody.
00:51:16What was that?
00:51:17B-flat?
00:51:18No, I heard a noise.
00:51:19Is there someone in there?
00:51:21Hardly.
00:51:21That's my bedroom.
00:51:36Now, don't be nervous.
00:51:38I'm not a bit nervous.
00:51:39See?
00:51:40Just as I told you,
00:51:41it's your imagination.
00:51:58Yes, boy.
00:51:59Yes, boy.
00:52:13What do you hear from the gang at college?
00:52:16What do you think you're doing under this bed?
00:52:19Looking for a collar button.
00:52:20I've got as much right under here as you have.
00:52:23Say, if you're in here, I wonder who's out there.
00:52:28That's right. I thought it was you.
00:52:31Better investigate.
00:52:32No, wait a minute. We don't want to upset Helen today of all days.
00:52:35That's right. Not today.
00:52:37So that's why you came up. I thought so.
00:52:40What are you talking about?
00:52:41I suppose you just happened to call the day that Shaw announced his concert.
00:52:45I read something about the concert in the paper.
00:52:48But I'm much too busy to help Artie out.
00:52:51I'm working like a horse.
00:52:53You're working?
00:52:54Sure.
00:52:55Not with Dorsey?
00:52:56No, not.
00:52:57He wouldn't change his style to suit me.
00:53:00I've got a little engagement just out of town.
00:53:03I never had such a big audience.
00:53:05Fourth trumpet, huh?
00:53:06No, sir, boy. Strictly solo stuff.
00:53:09Oh.
00:53:11Why? Is the concert the reason for your visit?
00:53:14Who, me?
00:53:14Yeah.
00:53:15No, I'm much too busy for that.
00:53:17Doing what?
00:53:18After I quit Whiteman.
00:53:19You quit Whiteman?
00:53:20Sure. Too big a band for me.
00:53:22If I had to save with him, I'd have lost my individuality.
00:53:24Same thing happened to Bix.
00:53:25So you're unemployed, huh?
00:53:28No, not at all.
00:53:30I've just hooked up with a terrific European outfit.
00:53:33I never dreamed such things could be done to music.
00:53:36Yeah.
00:53:38I wonder what's going on out there.
00:53:40As long as if she's giving somebody an audition.
00:53:42I never heard of Shaw with a mandolin section.
00:53:48What about a breather?
00:53:49That's a wonderful idea.
00:53:51Sometimes it's a little tiring.
00:53:53Yes.
00:53:55Let's have a toast to the concert.
00:53:59You know, Ellen, you've made me feel like a boy again.
00:54:02Really, Les?
00:54:03You've actually made me believe that money really isn't a handicap.
00:54:06That's what I want you to do, Les.
00:54:08It's like after all these years, I have something to look forward to.
00:54:13Well, to our big night.
00:54:15To our big night.
00:54:18She's being taken advantage of.
00:54:23She seems to be liking it.
00:54:27I've seen that fellow before.
00:54:28Yeah?
00:54:29Where was it?
00:54:30At the Russian restaurant.
00:54:32The little bear.
00:54:33The little wolf.
00:54:34I saw him with her at the racetrack.
00:54:37We've got to get her out of this.
00:54:38What are we waiting for?
00:54:42Do you have another glass?
00:54:43Oh, I don't think I should.
00:54:45Well, you know best.
00:54:47That's what I admire about you, Ellen.
00:54:49You're so different from the other girls in this town.
00:54:52Oh, I can hardly believe that, Lester.
00:54:54You wouldn't.
00:54:55You're so innocent.
00:54:55You wouldn't believe the carrying's on.
00:54:57Oh, I've been told things.
00:55:01What's that?
00:55:02Somebody out there.
00:55:03You're just imagining things again.
00:55:04No, look.
00:55:07Psst.
00:55:12What the hell?
00:55:14He's not home, Miss Yellen.
00:55:16Who is it?
00:55:19Danny.
00:55:22Oh, it's just a neighbor.
00:55:23He always wants to borrow the lawnmower or something.
00:55:26Excuse me.
00:55:29Danny.
00:55:29Danny, is it you?
00:55:31Is that guy here again?
00:55:33Pardon me, Mr. Chisholm.
00:55:36Oh, Chisholm, yes.
00:55:37Ellen told me about you.
00:55:41Yeah.
00:55:42I guess she's getting rid of him.
00:55:44Well, she better.
00:55:46You know, I told her flatly.
00:55:47I said, it's either him or me.
00:55:50You know, I used to trust that guy.
00:55:52I went to college with him.
00:55:53I shared my room, my time, my troubles.
00:55:56But I won't share Ellen.
00:55:58You don't blame me, do you?
00:55:59I didn't know her.
00:56:00I think I better be going.
00:56:02No, I didn't mean you.
00:56:03Stick around.
00:56:04Make yourself at home.
00:56:06Do you need anything?
00:56:07No.
00:56:07Let him at you.
00:56:12Oh, mercy.
00:56:15Danny, how dare you come up here?
00:56:16I'm glad I came up.
00:56:17I'm very glad.
00:56:18Well, I'm not when you get off this roof this instant.
00:56:19Now, wait a minute.
00:56:20You need me, Ellen.
00:56:21What?
00:56:21Oh, I'm not blaming you for one moment, but...
00:56:23What are you talking about?
00:56:24He's not the kind of person to be around you.
00:56:26You don't know what you're getting into.
00:56:27Of course, it's not your fault.
00:56:28Hank and I both realize that.
00:56:29Hank, is he here too?
00:56:31Yes, he's inside, taking care of the details.
00:56:33Good heaven.
00:56:35Oh, dear.
00:56:37Lester!
00:56:38Lester, wait a minute.
00:56:40Lester!
00:56:41Why didn't you tell me you were married?
00:56:43But I'm not married.
00:56:44Then who was that man?
00:56:45Oh, that was just Hank.
00:56:46Ellen, I can't believe it.
00:56:48You, of all people.
00:56:50Oh, dear.
00:56:50Oh, dear.
00:56:51Well, you mustn't be so upset.
00:56:52I'll send him away.
00:56:53Now, don't make it worse, Ellen.
00:56:55I can't stand it.
00:56:56I can't stand it.
00:56:57I'm leaving for Cincinnati in the morning.
00:56:59Cincinnati?
00:57:00But what about the concert?
00:57:01Well, you can tell, Mr. Shaw,
00:57:03how much I appreciate the chance you gave me.
00:57:05Under the circumstances, I can't accept it.
00:57:06Oh, but Lester, you can't throw away your whole musical career.
00:57:10My musical career is over.
00:57:12Here.
00:57:13I'll never touch it again.
00:57:16Oh, he says, I didn't know.
00:57:20Poor Mr. Chisholm.
00:57:21Poor Mr. Chisholm.
00:57:23Poor Mr. Chisholm.
00:57:26Played on the mandolin.
00:57:30But he couldn't win.
00:57:32Cause he tried to swing.
00:57:34And he broke a string every time.
00:57:37Oh, he says, I better be going.
00:57:41Poor Mr. Chisholm.
00:57:42Poor Mr. Chisholm.
00:57:43Just couldn't dig the jive.
00:57:47When he did arrive at the proper note.
00:57:53Now, look, Ellen.
00:57:54Now, this is all for the best.
00:57:55What we did may have been a little drastic.
00:57:56It may seem a little brutal at first.
00:57:58But you'll thank us for it later.
00:57:59So, I'll thank you for it.
00:58:01I suppose that Artie will thank you for it, too.
00:58:03Artie.
00:58:03What do you mean, Artie?
00:58:05What's Artie got to do with Mr. Chisholm?
00:58:06Nothing.
00:58:07Nothing in the world.
00:58:07He was only the backer of the concert.
00:58:12Concert?
00:58:12Oh.
00:58:22All right, let's go again.
00:58:24Shh.
00:58:25There we go.
00:58:25Let's just play it over for you.
00:58:27You've got to listen to me.
00:58:28There's only one thing I've got to do.
00:58:30Go in there and tell Artie that the concert is off.
00:58:32Then leave town by the first train I can get.
00:58:34Ellen, you can't.
00:58:35I'm awfully sorry about all this trouble.
00:58:37I wouldn't hurt you for the world.
00:58:38You know how I feel about you.
00:58:40Remember the other night, right here, when I took the vocal?
00:58:43I wasn't kidding.
00:58:44There's one part I remember.
00:58:46The merry-go-round I'll lead you.
00:58:47You weren't kidding.
00:58:49Oh, that's all over.
00:58:49The merry-go-round is out.
00:58:50No, Danny, it's too late.
00:58:51No, it isn't.
00:58:52Now, you just go in there and act as if nothing's happened.
00:58:54And I'll have Chisholm back here in an hour.
00:58:55What can you do?
00:58:56Don't worry about that.
00:58:57Just don't say anything to Shaw until I get back.
00:58:59What can I say?
00:59:00You can do it.
00:59:01Give me an hour.
00:59:03All right, Danny.
00:59:04One hour.
00:59:05That's right.
00:59:14Hurry up.
00:59:15He's checking out.
00:59:21What $20,000?
00:59:23Oh, that $20,000.
00:59:25Send it back to Cincinnati.
00:59:26I'm going back there myself.
00:59:27On second thought, Joe, you just leave it where it is.
00:59:31You bounder.
00:59:31Leave this room immediately.
00:59:32Mr. Chisholm, I brought you your mandolin.
00:59:34I won't listen.
00:59:35Leave this room.
00:59:36Now, take it easy, Chisholm.
00:59:36You're going to listen whether you want to or not.
00:59:38We've come to clear Ellen's name.
00:59:39I won't hear her name mentioned in my presence.
00:59:42Oh, now, don't say that, Mr. Chisholm.
00:59:43Who are you?
00:59:44I'm a man who wants to see justice done.
00:59:47All right, talk.
00:59:47No, I can't.
00:59:49Come clean.
00:59:50All right.
00:59:51Mr. Chisholm, I have a confession to make.
00:59:53I've never done this before in my life.
00:59:55I lied to you.
00:59:57Go on.
00:59:57All right.
00:59:59Ellen is innocent.
01:00:01Innocent?
01:00:01I saw with my own eyes.
01:00:03He framed her deliberately.
01:00:04Impulsively.
01:00:05I am not Ellen's husband.
01:00:07I know that.
01:00:08What?
01:00:08Yeah.
01:00:09Who are you?
01:00:10Me?
01:00:11Um, he's her brother, Hank.
01:00:13Why did you endeavor to create this false impression?
01:00:16I, I, I was trying to protect her.
01:00:19Hit her.
01:00:20Now look who I was wrong.
01:00:21We didn't know who you were.
01:00:22We didn't know how much you meant to her.
01:00:23Why, you're just about the most important man in her life.
01:00:25Right.
01:00:26Oh, I didn't realize.
01:00:27Oh, what have I done?
01:00:29You've acted shabbily.
01:00:30You have misjudged a wonderful girl.
01:00:32Jumped at brutal conclusions.
01:00:34Oh dear, do you think she'd ever forgive me?
01:00:36Well, there's a chance if you go about it in the right way.
01:00:38Yes, if you crawl back to her on your hands and knees.
01:00:40Beg her to forgive and forget.
01:00:42Oh, I will.
01:00:43Oh, do you think this will interfere with letting me back the concert?
01:00:46Well, I don't think so.
01:00:48No, Ellen isn't small.
01:00:50But you better hurry.
01:00:51Oh, I will.
01:00:52I'll get my hat and gloves.
01:00:54Uh, you make yourselves at home.
01:00:58Poor Mr. Chester.
01:00:59Well, we've finally done right by our Ellen.
01:01:01It's about time.
01:01:02Yeah, makes you feel good, huh?
01:01:04You know, self-sacrifice, doing unto others.
01:01:07That's the life.
01:01:08Yeah, but a little self-sacrifice goes a long way.
01:01:12We ought to think of our own careers for a change.
01:01:16After all, we are the intimate friends of Shaw's Vacker.
01:01:21Huh?
01:01:23No, but we mustn't use Chisholm.
01:01:25We owe it to Ellen not to take any more chances.
01:01:27Oh, no.
01:01:28Ellen won't respect a couple of failures.
01:01:31It's true.
01:01:32If it wasn't for us, the concert would be off.
01:01:34Certainly.
01:01:35He owes us a break.
01:01:38Oh, here I go.
01:01:39Boys, if there's ever anything I can do.
01:01:41Nonsense, Mr. Chisholm.
01:01:42We're glad to do a good turn.
01:01:43If there's anything we can do for you.
01:01:45Oh, you've already done enough.
01:01:47Oh, I mean like helping you select numbers for the concert and that sort of thing?
01:01:50You see, I don't select the numbers for the concert.
01:01:52Why, I hardly dare venture an opinion.
01:01:54Oh, but you should.
01:01:55After all, I'm only the backer.
01:01:57Only the backer?
01:01:58Why, Mr. Chisholm, you're the impresario, the most important man in the entire organization.
01:02:03You've got to be the guiding hand.
01:02:04Choose the music.
01:02:05Pick the men.
01:02:06It's your duty.
01:02:07Think of the other backers.
01:02:08You're letting them down.
01:02:08You're letting Shaw down.
01:02:10Well, this is terrible.
01:02:11Why did anyone ever tell me this before?
01:02:13Why, I would have been delighted to do it.
01:02:15It's not too late.
01:02:16Not if you work fast.
01:02:17I don't know just which way to start.
01:02:18What would you suggest?
01:02:19Well, first of all, line up a number.
01:02:22That's a good idea, but offhand I can't think.
01:02:24Oh, sure.
01:02:24You remember the rolling back to Mammy on the Big River Blues?
01:02:28Rolling back to Mammy on the Big River Blues?
01:02:30That's it.
01:02:31He's got it.
01:02:31He's got it.
01:02:32Oh, don't be too hasty.
01:02:33Perhaps I can think of something better.
01:02:35What about a folk song?
01:02:36A folk song.
01:02:37I've got just the number for you.
01:02:40Listen to this.
01:02:44Oh, you're going to like this, Chiz.
01:02:47This is Back to the Good Earth, full of sweet.
01:02:49Play that, Danny.
01:02:52I like that.
01:02:53What's it called?
01:02:54Hoedown the Bayou.
01:02:56You hear that?
01:02:56That's New Orleans.
01:02:58I've visited there three weeks.
01:02:59They don't recognize it.
01:03:01You don't?
01:03:01Well, that's the spirit of New Orleans.
01:03:03I can almost smell the Delta.
01:03:04I can smell the Delta.
01:03:06Can't you smell the Delta?
01:03:07I have a slight cold.
01:03:09Well, nothing that your mandolin won't cure.
01:03:11You pick this up, Chiz.
01:03:12Pick it up, boy.
01:03:14Yeah, yeah.
01:03:15Come on, son.
01:03:16The train won't wait.
01:03:17That's it.
01:03:17That's it.
01:03:18Now we're sailing up that river.
01:03:20On to Memphis.
01:03:22Chattanooga.
01:03:22Hold on, Chiz.
01:03:24Hear them steamboat whistles of blow?
01:03:26Toad that barge.
01:03:27Hold that bale.
01:03:28There's a cabin in the cotton.
01:03:29Solid south.
01:03:30Solid north.
01:03:32Solid jack.
01:03:33Solid jack.
01:03:33Right.
01:03:34Wagon wheels.
01:03:35A creek in westward.
01:03:36Now we're rolling past that junction.
01:03:38On to Kansas.
01:03:39Cincinnati.
01:03:40Cincinnati.
01:03:40My hometown.
01:03:42His hometown.
01:03:43Your hometown.
01:03:44Everybody's hometown.
01:03:45Cincinnati.
01:03:47Boys, words fail me.
01:03:49I must see Shaw at once.
01:03:50That's the spirit, Chizom.
01:03:51Don't let America down.
01:03:54You sure it's my duty as a backer?
01:03:56You can do anything.
01:03:57Anything?
01:03:57Certainly.
01:03:58Well, all right.
01:03:58I'll not only see that this epic-making number of yours has given the finest presentation in the world,
01:04:03but I'll go further.
01:04:04Yes?
01:04:04Well, I'll play in it myself, on my mandolin.
01:04:07What?
01:04:13Our rhythm and letter B, I'll give you a downbeat and set the tempo.
01:04:16At C, trombones make a very definite entrance.
01:04:19Saxes come in good and strong, and strings pick it up from there.
01:04:23Oh, Ellen, can you ever forgive me?
01:04:25Oh, Lester.
01:04:26I know I don't deserve it.
01:04:28I've let you down in more ways than one, but I'm going to make up for it right now.
01:04:32Shaw, can I see you a minute?
01:04:34Aye.
01:04:35Take ten, fellas.
01:04:38Hello, Mr. Chizom.
01:04:39Glad you dropped in.
01:04:39I didn't just drop in, Mr. Shaw.
01:04:41Sit down, please.
01:04:42And you, Ellen.
01:04:44I realize I've shirked my duties, but I've got something to make up for.
01:04:47A folk song for the concert.
01:04:49It'll kill you.
01:04:50Folk song?
01:04:50It's got everything.
01:04:51The sweep of the prairies, creaking of wagons, the Mississippi.
01:04:55Sounds peachy.
01:04:56It goes like this.
01:04:59Ho down the bayou.
01:05:01Can't you smell the delta?
01:05:06Chattanooga, Louisiana, solid north, solid south.
01:05:10Ho down, boy.
01:05:12Ooh, that's the steamboat whistle.
01:05:15That's my hometown.
01:05:16It's your hometown.
01:05:18Everybody's hometown.
01:05:19Cincinnati.
01:05:21Are you kidding?
01:05:22It'll sweep the country.
01:05:23I insist that you play it at the concert.
01:05:25Well, if that's the way you feel about it, you can...
01:05:27Prairies wagging steamboat whistles.
01:05:29That's it, sweep.
01:05:30Listen, Artie, I've heard part of it.
01:05:31It's not a bad song.
01:05:33How can I tell from that?
01:05:34Get me someone who can play it.
01:05:35I'll get you the composer himself.
01:05:37He's right outside.
01:05:38Right away.
01:05:42I fixed it.
01:05:43Good boy, Chiz.
01:05:43You done a great job.
01:05:44Go in there and give him all you got.
01:05:45Right.
01:05:46Wait a minute.
01:05:47Maybe we'd better explain about our secret.
01:05:48I could back you up on the mandolin.
01:05:50No, no, no.
01:05:51Save it.
01:05:51You don't want to give away the big surprise.
01:05:53No, practice comes first.
01:05:54Besides, you're no song plugger.
01:05:55What, Heifetz go around selling songs to band leaders?
01:05:58That's right.
01:05:58I'll stand by and explain it as you play it.
01:06:01Uh, no.
01:06:02We'd better stay out here, Chiz.
01:06:03You see, too many people might make Shaw nervous.
01:06:05But I might be needed.
01:06:07Come on down the lobby.
01:06:08I'll buy you a cigar.
01:06:09I don't like cigars.
01:06:10Don't you worry about it.
01:06:11I'll smoke it myself.
01:06:14Artie, he'll be here in a minute.
01:06:16I know, but I'm holding up a whole rehearsal, Ellen.
01:06:18Hello, Mr. Shaw.
01:06:20Oh, it's you again, huh?
01:06:22I guess so.
01:06:24Artie, you aren't going to let something that's over and done with
01:06:26stand in the way of a good song.
01:06:29Okay, let's hear it.
01:06:30This better be good.
01:06:31Yes, sir.
01:06:38Poor Mr. Chisholm played on the mandolin.
01:06:43But he couldn't win, cause he tried to swing.
01:06:47And he broke a string every time.
01:06:53Poor Mr. Chisholm just couldn't dig the jive.
01:06:57When he did arrive at a proper note, he arrived by boat every time.
01:07:07He tried to jazz up his mandolin, but never could quite control it.
01:07:14He always brought Bach and Handel in.
01:07:19When he took a lick, he always broke a pick.
01:07:23Poor Mr. Chisholm, you're quite a gay old blade.
01:07:28With your serenade, but your corny jack bear the truck gone back to Dubuque.
01:07:34Get a uke, you disgraced your kin on the mandolin every time.
01:07:46Did you like the tune, Artie?
01:07:47Kind of cute.
01:07:49Tell you what you do.
01:07:49Make an arrangement of it, and maybe we can find a spot for it.
01:07:52But remember, no trouble this time.
01:07:53Don't worry, Mr. Shaw.
01:07:54And thanks a lot.
01:07:55Mr. Chisholm playing the mandolin.
01:07:57That'd really be something.
01:07:58All right, Ben.
01:07:59Call the boys.
01:08:01I'm within the hour.
01:08:02Chisholm is back.
01:08:03I'm making an arrangement.
01:08:04You see, Alan, I've settled down.
01:08:06The merry-go-round's out.
01:08:07Out nothing.
01:08:07You just happened to get the brass ring.
01:08:11This is your big chance, Danny.
01:08:13I hope.
01:08:20Did he understand it?
01:08:21Did he call for it?
01:08:22Hook, line, and Cincinnati.
01:08:23Nice going, boy.
01:08:24Wonderful.
01:08:25Calls for a celebration.
01:08:26And a boy, Danny.
01:08:30Well, fellow artists, I'll give you the concert.
01:08:32We accept it.
01:08:35Lester, we're proud of you.
01:08:36Oh, come, come, Ellen.
01:08:37I'm only the backer.
01:08:38Well, that's a very important role, Lester.
01:08:41Well, it's not as though I was a real contributor,
01:08:43as though I wanted the performers.
01:08:46Well, now, look, we just about killed this bottle.
01:08:49What kind of a host are you?
01:08:50How about a refill?
01:08:51Oh, excuse me.
01:08:52Of course, of course.
01:08:54Oh, you won't tell her while I'm gone.
01:08:57Not a chance.
01:08:57Don't worry about it.
01:08:59Lester, wait a minute.
01:09:01Tell me what.
01:09:02Well, it's just a little surprise.
01:09:04All that's tell her, fellas.
01:09:06I'm going to play in the concert.
01:09:09Lester, you're not.
01:09:10But I am.
01:09:10I knew you'd be delighted.
01:09:12What am I standing here for?
01:09:14Wine is what we need.
01:09:15Wine.
01:09:18So the merry-go-round's still on, huh?
01:09:20We couldn't help it.
01:09:21All we did was flatter him a bit.
01:09:22If we disillusioned him, he called the whole thing on.
01:09:24What do you suppose Shaw will do?
01:09:25Shaw won't ever find out.
01:09:27Hank's going to keep Chisholm away from him.
01:09:28Me?
01:09:29Oh, no.
01:09:30Oh, but I'll be busy with my arrangement.
01:09:31All right, I'll make a bargain with you.
01:09:33You get me a job with Shaw with a nice fat trumpet part,
01:09:36and I'll look after Chisholm.
01:09:37Oh, sure.
01:09:37I'll do my best.
01:09:38You'll do better than that.
01:09:40Or else.
01:09:40You get me a job with fucking Chisholm.

01:14:04You were a quarter of a beat-off on 76.
01:14:08Now, you take one more hundred and we'll turn it.
01:14:10No, no.
01:14:11It's just two days before the concert.
01:14:12I better go down and tell R.D.R. a secret.
01:14:14No, not yet.
01:14:16It's too late tonight, anyhow.
01:14:18No, it isn't the band staying late to rehearse.
01:14:19You haven't practiced enough.
01:14:21I've practiced for ten days, twelve hours a day, six hours a night.
01:14:26I'll go stale.
01:14:27Are you ready?
01:14:33One.
01:14:36Two.
01:14:42Tonight at 8.30, Artie Shaw will present an interesting newcomer to the musical world.
01:14:47Interesting newcomer?
01:14:48That must mean me.
01:14:49Huh?
01:14:50Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.
01:14:52What's the matter, Henry?
01:14:53You worried about the rehearsal?
01:14:55Me, no.
01:14:56Is it worrying you?
01:14:57Not at all.
01:14:58You know, there are very few troubles that a good night's sleep won't cure.
01:15:01Look, you watch your own health.
01:15:03I got insomnia.
01:15:04Insomnia?
01:15:05That's too bad.
01:15:06You should...
01:15:07Come in.
01:15:09Good afternoon, Mr. Chisholm.
01:15:11Hello.
01:15:11Well, what about a drink?
01:15:13Good idea.
01:15:13I'll be right back.
01:15:14I just want to spruce up a bit.
01:15:19Hello.
01:15:20Give me the majestic theater, will you?
01:15:28It's better sold.
01:15:32What?
01:15:34What's that?
01:15:35What about it?
01:15:37Yeah?
01:15:38Wait a minute.
01:15:39Excuse me, will you, Chisholm?
01:15:40This is personal matter, you know?
01:15:44Say, Danny, you wouldn't lie to me at a time like this, would you?
01:15:47It's all said, I tell you.
01:15:48You're in.
01:15:48You got to get down here right away.
01:15:50Well, this makes up for things, Danny.
01:15:53What, Chisholm?
01:15:56Wait a minute.
01:15:58Don't you worry about Chisholm.
01:16:00I just got a plan to keep him here.
01:16:02You bet.
01:16:03So long.
01:16:12The good news?
01:16:14Well, depends on your point of view.
01:16:15One man's drink is another man's poison.
01:16:17Yeah.
01:16:18Well, Henry, everything happens for the best.
01:16:21You know, it's always darkest just before dawn.
01:16:23That's right.
01:16:24The lad worthwhile is the lad who can smile when the rest of the world's gone wrong.
01:16:30Right, right as rain.
01:16:33Well, we'll have it over here.
01:16:41Henry, if ever anything comes between us, always remember I had your best interest at heart.
01:16:46That cuts both ways, partner.
01:16:50Well, happy days.
01:16:52Happy dreams.
01:17:00Bottoms up.
01:17:00Bottoms up.
01:17:22Good morning, Mr. Chisholm.
01:17:35Yes, but there must be some answer.
01:17:38Well, never mind.
01:17:43I can't raise Hank anywhere.
01:17:45Ellen, I don't suppose you'll ever believe I didn't have anything to do with this.
01:17:47Last week, I'd been sure you had, but this week, no.
01:17:51You know, you're improving so amazingly, Danny.
01:17:53I think I'll make you my manager.
01:18:06Ladies and gentlemen, we have a little blues number,
01:18:08which recently came to my attention bearing the somewhat ambiguous title,
01:18:12Hoedown the Bayou.
01:18:13Since then, it has grown up and been transformed into something rather special.
01:18:18Before playing it, I'd like to introduce the young man who wrote it, Danny O'Neill.
01:18:22Go on.
01:18:29That's good.
01:18:30All right.
01:18:31Okay.
01:18:32It's all yours.
01:22:21Danny, you were wonderful.
01:22:22Nice work, Danny.
01:22:23Looks like I'm going to have to hire you after him.
01:22:24Thanks, Artie.
01:22:25But only because I don't want to lose a good secretary.
01:22:50I hope in your horoscope there is room for a dope who adores you.
01:23:05Was good?
01:23:07Was good?
01:23:09You're good, you're good, you're good.
