00:00:05¶¶
00:02:10Yes.
00:02:12Hello, Janet.
00:02:16Explain yourself.
00:02:18Explain what?
00:02:18Rooting on the balcony.
00:02:20Just isn't being done this season.
00:02:22I wasn't doing.
00:02:23Lying to one's sisters out this season, too.
00:02:26Strangest thing happened.
00:02:28I thought I heard a man's voice out over the ocean calling my name.
00:02:33Next time he calls, I ask him if he has a friend for me.
00:02:35I'm serious.
00:02:36How can you be serious?
00:02:38It was the wind.
00:02:39Are those bird horns?
00:02:41Perhaps.
00:02:42But it sounded like...
00:02:45Paul.
00:02:49It's been two years now, Christine.
00:02:52I know.
00:02:53But for a moment, out over the ocean, I felt very close to him again.
00:03:01He used to love the ocean, you know, especially at night.
00:03:04He'd go racing down to the beach for a swim, no matter how late it was.
00:03:09And usually I'd be fool enough to go with him.
00:03:13If any husband of mine ever chased me into the ocean in the middle of the night, I'd shoot him.
00:03:18He did a lot of crazy things.
00:03:20Some of them bad.
00:03:23But I don't think I could ever love another man the way I love Paul.
00:03:27Chris, you've got to stop talking like this.
00:03:30You're getting morbid.
00:03:32Oh, it's not as bad as all that rat.
00:03:35It is bad.
00:03:37Look at this dress.
00:03:39You can't wear black when you're going out on a date.
00:03:42Looks as if you were still...
00:03:45Well...
00:03:45In the morning?
00:03:47Well, yes.
00:03:48I just happen to like black, that's all.
00:03:51I know.
00:03:52But just for tonight, it isn't exactly appropriate.
00:03:56And Chris, don't wear your wedding ring tonight either.
00:04:00Why not?
00:04:02It might make it awkward for Martin.
00:04:04Oh, is Martin going to propose again tonight?
00:04:07Well, he might.
00:04:10And he can't very well put an engagement ring on your finger if that's already there.
00:04:14By the way, what kind of a ring has Martin bought for me?
00:04:17An enormous diamond with...
00:04:19Oh, Chris, you will say yes tonight, won't you?
00:04:22I suppose I'd better.
00:04:24Otherwise, he might sue you for breach of promise.
00:04:26Oh, darling, I'm so excited.
00:04:28And I've got just the right dress all picked out for you.
00:04:32Will you wear it?
00:04:33Anything you say.
00:04:34And bring out my new ermine, will you?
00:04:40You know, Chris, I think your cloak with the sequins might look better on you tonight.
00:04:45I, uh, take it you have a date for tonight, too.
00:04:48As a matter of fact, I have.
00:04:50All right.
00:04:50I'll wear the sequins.
00:04:51You wear the ermine.
00:04:53Well, if you insist.
00:04:55Thanks.
00:04:56I like your hair like that.
00:04:58But you could do with a little more lipstick.
00:05:00And, uh, you could do with a little less.
00:05:08Do you suppose it's Martin?
00:05:10You know Martin would never honk a horn at a lady.
00:05:12It's probably your young man.
00:05:14By the way, which young man is it tonight?
00:05:17It's...
00:05:17You know, I've forgotten.
00:05:19Have a good time and come home early.
00:05:21Well, I can't do both.
00:05:22Then you come home early.
00:05:23You come home engaged.
00:05:38Mrs. Faber's residence.
00:05:42Yes, sir.
00:05:45Mrs. Faber.
00:05:52It's Mr. Abbott, ma'am.
00:05:53Thank you, Emily.
00:05:54I'll take it here.
00:05:57Hello, Martin.
00:05:58Don't tell me you're standing me up.
00:06:00No, no.
00:06:01It's just that some idiotic client came into the office at the last minute and I...
00:06:05Well, no.
00:06:07I know it's not serious.
00:06:08But I...
00:06:08I particularly didn't want to have anything interfere with tonight.
00:06:13Well, no.
00:06:13You see, I wanted to show you that I'm not always the lawyer with his mind on cases and affidavits.
00:06:19No, I'm really the romantic type with my mind on you.
00:06:22Man.
00:06:24Yeah, I...
00:06:24I thought it was a nice beach.
00:06:25I, uh...
00:06:26I dreamed it up this afternoon in felony court.
00:06:28It doesn't matter if we're a little late, Martin.
00:06:30The first act's no good anyway.
00:06:32I'll walk over along the beach to your house.
00:06:34Then you won't have to waste the time driving over here.
00:06:37Oh, I wouldn't do that.
00:06:39But I want to walk over, Martin.
00:06:41I'll enjoy it.
00:06:43Oh, of course it's safe.
00:06:45Now, stop talking like an old maid.
00:06:47Goodbye.
00:06:49There's dark down there, ma'am.
00:06:50And you, Emily, stop talking like Martin Abbott.
00:06:53Lock the patio door after me, will you?
00:06:55Good night.
00:07:35Well, OK, we'll see you again.
00:07:35You need to be in your side of thejet.
00:07:36Oh, my dear.
00:07:37Hey, darling.
00:07:37Come, come on.
00:07:38Come.
00:07:38Come on.
00:07:49Oh, my God.
00:08:10Christy.
00:08:19Christy.
00:08:30Christy.
00:08:48Christy.
00:09:08Christy.
00:09:17Christy.
00:09:19Christy.
00:09:24Christy.
00:09:32Christy.
00:09:34Christy.
00:09:34Christy.
00:09:35Christy.
00:09:43Christy.
00:10:03Christy.
00:10:03I saw your husband dead, and you moving toward a new marriage.
00:10:09And I see I was wrong.
00:10:11Sometimes I am.
00:10:13Good night.
00:10:15Goodbye.
00:10:21Wait.
00:10:23You weren't mistaken.
00:10:25My husband died two years ago.
00:10:27I felt I could not be wrong.
00:10:29I saw him dead, and his car in flames.
00:10:35Oh, I'm sorry.
00:10:37I don't understand how you know all this.
00:10:39I suppose people do talk.
00:10:41Do you live around here?
00:10:43No, I wish I did live on the ocean.
00:10:46Here is my name and where I live.
00:10:51Alexis, psychic consultant.
00:10:55Oh.
00:10:55I see you place me in the same category with fortune tellers, snake charmers and magicians.
00:11:02Oh, well.
00:11:03Many people do.
00:11:04But you must know who I am.
00:11:06How else would you know all these things?
00:11:09Perhaps because we are very much alike.
00:11:11You and I.
00:11:13Free spirits, both of us.
00:11:15Like my friend here.
00:11:17We like the night and the mist of the ocean.
00:11:21The wind whispers to us and the sand feels cool under our feet.
00:11:26We are not like...
00:11:28I don't know.
00:11:29I have his name now.
00:11:30Like Martin.
00:11:31There is nothing wrong with Martin.
00:11:33Of course not.
00:11:35If only he would understand how little he understands.
00:11:39Well, Martin is very logical.
00:11:41Yes.
00:11:42That's why you should marry him.
00:11:45Even free spirits have to come in out of the night sometimes and put on their shoes.
00:11:50Pay their bills.
00:11:51Go to the dentist.
00:11:52And of course family dinners on Sunday.
00:11:55You really shouldn't be so irritated by his little mannerisms.
00:11:59Like when he clears his throat.
00:12:03Announcing that he's going to kiss you any minute.
00:12:05Or when he counts off all his plans and the tips of his fingers.
00:12:09How?
00:12:10I can't tell you how I know these things.
00:12:14But it hardly matters, does it?
00:12:16Since we're not going to meet again.
00:12:18Christine?
00:12:21Chris?
00:12:23Oh, over here, Martin.
00:12:26Oh, hi.
00:12:28Hello.
00:12:34You certainly had me scared.
00:12:36What kept you so long?
00:12:37Well, I was talking to this man.
00:12:39Well, he was here.
00:12:42Could I have imagined him?
00:12:44He was fantastic enough.
00:12:47Well, let's get going.
00:12:49Oh, I, I've torn my dress, Martin.
00:12:51I'll have to go back to the house.
00:12:53All right.
00:12:54We'll go to your house first.
00:12:56Skip the theater.
00:12:57Directly to the Blue Angel.
00:13:01What's the matter?
00:13:02Nothing.
00:13:03It's, it's just that it's so late and I'm a little upset.
00:13:06Couldn't we make it some other night?
00:13:08Of course.
00:13:10You sure you understand?
00:13:11When it concerns you, Christine, there's nothing I don't understand.
00:13:15No, no, no, no.
00:13:25Here, you better take this off my hands or I'll have to wear it to the office tomorrow.
00:13:28Fix yourself a drink.
00:13:29I've got to change this torn dress.
00:13:30Right.
00:14:00Martin, how flattering.
00:14:02I should have thought of this in the first place.
00:14:04This is much better than any nightclub.
00:14:06Yes, and just think, no head waiter, no smoke, no people.
00:14:10And at the end of the evening, no check.
00:14:12Oh, Martin, you think in such practical terms.
00:14:15I'm a very practical man.
00:14:17For instance, I just said that to make you pout.
00:14:21The better to do this.
00:14:26I've been trapped.
00:14:27Right.
00:14:28Now, if you'll just step over here to the sofa by the fire.
00:14:31Another trap?
00:14:32Definitely.
00:15:05Well, darling, what's the matter?
00:15:06That music.
00:15:07Well, it's just the phonograph.
00:15:08But we don't have that record.
00:15:09Of course you do.
00:15:10It was right on top of the cabinet.
00:15:14That's strange.
00:15:15What's the matter, Chris?
00:15:17I'm sorry, but that was Paul's favorite prelude.
00:15:21I've heard him play it a hundred times.
00:15:22Right here in this room.
00:15:24Turn it off, will you?
00:15:28No, I won't.
00:15:32Look, darling.
00:15:34Paul's been gone too long for you to act like this.
00:15:38I know.
00:15:41Chris, I'm not saying this for my sake,
00:15:43but your whole life's ahead of you.
00:15:46You can't waste it probing into the past.
00:15:50If I can't make you forget Paul,
00:15:53well, find someone else who can.
00:15:56You're right, Martin.
00:15:57I'm sorry I acted like a child.
00:16:01Would you get me a drink?
00:16:02Right here, ready for you.
00:16:09So you think I should go find somebody new?
00:16:14Uh...
00:16:15Only if it's absolutely necessary.
00:16:17But I've been so out of touch with people lately.
00:16:20Especially men.
00:16:22What do you expect me to do?
00:16:23Bring some around?
00:16:24Well, that would be very nice of you.
00:16:26Only you know how hard it is for me to meet new people.
00:16:31Uh...
00:16:33Well...
00:16:34I can see I'll just have to propose to you.
00:16:36Oh, Martin, I talked you into it.
00:16:37You sure did.
00:16:38And very fortunately for you,
00:16:40I just happened to have an engagement ring on me.
00:16:52Martin, it's lovely.
00:16:54You know what?
00:16:55It's lovely.
00:17:02I'm all so hungry.
00:17:02Can I have some food on you?
00:17:03Can I leave a little table?
00:17:03Maybe.
00:17:08It's lovely.
00:17:09I'm all so hungry.
00:17:17I'm all so hungry.
00:17:18My littleバum has to get meat.
00:17:19And I'm all so hungry.
00:17:56Can't you hear the ocean calling?
00:18:00Come on, Chris.
00:18:02Race you to the beach.
00:18:04That's when it's a coward.
00:18:33Come on.
00:18:35Come on.
00:18:35Come on.
00:18:53Come on.
00:18:55Come on.
00:18:55Come on.
00:19:29Let's go.
00:19:32Oh.
00:20:01Oh.
00:20:29Oh.
00:20:32Oh.
00:20:34Oh.
00:20:51Chris.
00:20:53Chris.
00:20:55Darling.
00:20:59Janet.
00:20:59What happened?
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:05Music.
00:21:07Paul.
00:21:08Let me help you up.
00:21:12Look, darling, you must have had a nightmare.
00:21:15It's all right now.
00:21:17It's over, you're awake, and I'm here.
00:21:20Janet, it wasn't a dream.
00:21:22The windows blew open.
00:21:24What's so unusual about a window blowing open?
00:21:26My engagement ring was gone.
00:21:29The flowers were all with it.
00:21:31Chris, look.
00:21:37But the picture.
00:21:39Paul's picture.
00:21:45You see?
00:21:46Just a bad dream.
00:21:48I was awake.
00:21:50My wedding gown there in the closet.
00:21:52It came toward me.
00:21:54I swear it did.
00:21:59It's just your bathrobe.
00:22:01You probably pulled the door open like this.
00:22:04And it flung out like that.
00:22:07And my wedding dress isn't there?
00:22:09How could it be, Chris?
00:22:12It's been locked in the trunk room for years.
00:22:16It wasn't a nightmare, I tell you.
00:22:18I saw those things.
00:22:20I think it was Paul and he doesn't want me to marry.
00:22:22You've got some feeling that it's not loyal to Paul if you marry again.
00:22:26It's on your conscience and it makes you dream.
00:22:29Why don't you talk it over with an analyst?
00:22:31He wouldn't understand.
00:22:32He'd think I was losing my mind.
00:22:34Nobody would understand.
00:22:37Except perhaps Alexis.
00:22:39Alexis?
00:22:40Just somebody I once met.
00:22:42Come on.
00:22:46Get to bed.
00:22:49It's after three.
00:22:51You haven't got time for any more dreams tonight.
00:22:58Janet.
00:22:59While you're up, would you...
00:23:03get me a glass of water?
00:23:15Thanks.
00:23:16Janet.
00:23:18I thought I was supposed to be the baby in the family.
00:23:21Here, give me that water.
00:23:24Move over.
00:23:25Baby.
00:23:29Good night, Chris.
00:23:31Good night.
00:23:33Good night.
00:23:37Good night.
00:24:03Good night.
00:24:05Good night.
00:24:13Good night.
00:25:00That's the one.
00:25:02That's the one.
00:25:02I think the ocean and the fog were more effective.
00:25:07I agree.
00:25:08But in my work, I deal with many different kinds of minds.
00:25:12Generally speaking, I think you could say that
00:25:14it's a good idea.
00:25:14Three types of people come here to see me.
00:25:17The first, a fairly large group, come here to scoff.
00:25:21Sometimes a few of them remain to pray.
00:25:24The second have childlike, credulous minds.
00:25:28They long to believe.
00:25:29They're tired and sad and need comfort.
00:25:34All this helps them.
00:25:35It creates an atmosphere.
00:25:39You see?
00:25:40A mood like music.
00:25:42And in it, they find a few brief moments of comfort,
00:25:45which helps them to continue with their gray little lives.
00:25:49And so I do not think it is so childish after all.
00:25:52Do you?
00:25:53And the third group?
00:25:54Ah.
00:25:56The third group is those of us who honestly explore
00:25:59the secrets of the outer world.
00:26:02I feel that you have come here today to join that group.
00:26:07Well, I... I did want to talk to you about something.
00:26:10I know.
00:26:12He was close to you last night.
00:26:15And he's close to you now.
00:26:18But wait.
00:26:20Maybe I should repel him.
00:26:22Not bring him closer.
00:26:24Why?
00:26:26His presence is so strong, it might be dangerous.
00:26:31How could Paul's presence possibly be dangerous to me?
00:26:34To your plans.
00:26:37You want to get married and lead what is termed a normal life?
00:26:43But if Paul is trying to reach me, then I want to help him.
00:26:47Have you thought what people will think?
00:26:50What Martin will think?
00:26:53I'm not afraid to think as I choose.
00:26:57Then, Christine, if you have the courage and the will to explore,
00:27:00I will help you.
00:27:02Now relax.
00:27:04Let your mind be free and receptive.
00:27:13Janet, you do have a tendency to dramatize and...
00:27:16Stop treating me like a child.
00:27:18I tell you she's been going to see him for weeks and...
00:27:25Now do you believe me?
00:27:26Hmm.
00:27:32She's been reading psychic books, too.
00:27:35And talking about Paul as if he were still alive.
00:27:38Gives me the creeps.
00:27:40Let's go.
00:27:41Now what are we going to do?
00:27:43We're going to get a detective and see what he can find out about this...
00:27:45This spook chaser.
00:27:48For 20 years I've been operating among these phony mediums as a private detective.
00:27:53And I've yet to find one concrete bit of evidence of communication with the dead.
00:27:57But my sister's absolutely convinced.
00:27:59He's told her things he couldn't know.
00:28:01Unless they were psychic.
00:28:03He's probably gone to a lot of trouble to investigate her past.
00:28:06They're thorough and clever.
00:28:08What I can't understand is Christine falling for such a dribble.
00:28:13You'd be amazed at the people who do.
00:28:15Perfect.
00:28:17Now there's a millionaire right in this town.
00:28:18Wouldn't buy a bag of popcorn without consulting his medium.
00:28:23What's this one's name?
00:28:24Alexis.
00:28:28It's a new one on me.
00:28:30But then they change their names often enough.
00:28:33How about a description?
00:28:36There's a picture of him in this pamphlet he wrote.
00:28:45This?
00:28:46I used to be a magician.
00:28:48That's how I got into this record.
00:29:01I know all their tricks.
00:29:07Alexis.
00:29:10I was called a Chicago in a case once.
00:29:13A young man named Maru.
00:29:14He swindled a society lady out of a whole hat full of money.
00:29:19That's Alexis.
00:29:19He certainly looked corny.
00:29:21If that's Alexis, we can report him to the police.
00:29:24What charge?
00:29:25He served a stretch and that's that.
00:29:27At least Christine will be through with him.
00:29:29I mean, if we can prove he's a crook.
00:29:31How can we identify him?
00:29:33Well, I could go out there and try to get his fingerprints.
00:29:36But I think the only time these fakes are really psychic
00:29:40is when there's a detective around.
00:29:43Well, they, uh, they look in their crystals and see you coming.
00:29:46Maybe we could send somebody you wouldn't know.
00:29:49Oh, no, I, I think that...
00:30:00We could send somebody you with a knife,法師,
00:30:02but they're not.
00:30:02No, I see.
00:30:03Why would it be?
00:30:06Now, the other one saw me.
00:30:07I'm here.
00:30:07You know, Paul.
00:30:07I mean, I don't think he's even a knife.
00:30:08I don't think he's even a knife.
00:30:09I don't think he's a knife.
00:30:09But he's a knife.
00:30:20I'm here.
00:33:10Yes.
00:33:12So much better.
00:33:14I can feel your vibrations much more clearly now.
00:33:18Oh, but your pulse is racing.
00:33:23Are you excited?
00:33:25Are you excited?
00:33:25Nervous?
00:33:26No.
00:33:27Oh, but of course, this problem is troubling you.
00:33:31The question you wrote comes to me, but faintly, almost as though it were false.
00:33:39False.
00:33:43Oh, but another question comes through with all the power and strength of love and truth.
00:33:50You are concerned about someone you love.
00:33:52You are concerned about someone you love.
00:33:53A woman.
00:33:54Your sister.
00:33:55Is it your sister?
00:33:56Yes.
00:33:57Yes.
00:33:57Older than you, but still you have a maternal protective feeling about her.
00:34:03In many ways, you are more mature than she.
00:34:07Dolly.
00:34:08I'm glad somebody finally realized that.
00:34:11Of course, you didn't always feel that way.
00:34:14Once you were jealous of her.
00:34:16You envied her popularity in her pretty clothes.
00:34:18And you used to try them on when she went out.
00:34:21And they suited you because there is an air of, of maturity and sophistication about you.
00:34:27In many ways, especially intellectually, you are much older than the many young men who admire you.
00:34:34You know, I'd notice that.
00:34:37Does this feel uncomfortable to you?
00:34:44I, I think I'll have a cigarette.
00:34:49Mrs. Harper?
00:34:55Mrs. Harper?
00:34:59May I?
00:35:25You get an expensive that long, and you forget, you drop your eyes, tall.
00:35:33Mrs. Harper?

00:35:42some bargain at the stakes, she had a good time about me. Mrs.
00:35:43Harper went on,isp epididy.
00:35:48Did you know why I wanted them?
00:35:50No. Nor do I need to.
00:35:53It is enough for me to know that you wanted them.
00:36:05Alexis, I hope that nothing you've done to help my sister will get you into trouble with the police.
00:36:10I mean, if they should investigate you or your past life.
00:36:14Would they find anything that would make trouble for you?
00:36:18Well, there are, there are many things in my life of which I'm ashamed.
00:36:24But, and this may sound strange, the memory that I cherish is a term in prison.
00:36:32Oh, there are many brave men who were imprisoned in their fight for science and truth.
00:36:38And I'm proud to be one of them.
00:36:42I think you may be able to understand this.
00:36:46Oh, but anyway.
00:36:48Do with this as you think best. I trust you.
00:36:51I just want to know that I've never said and the motive is thealloerschiet king.
00:37:16Well, I can't do it anymore now.
00:37:20Well, I should not be one of these two right anymore.
00:37:42Let's go.
00:37:42Hey, Janet.
00:37:44Oh, hello, Martin.
00:37:46Did you get the fingerprints?
00:37:47Yes.
00:37:48Good.
00:37:48I erased them.
00:37:50Oh, boy.
00:37:51Oh, Martin, he isn't at all the kind of a man we thought he was.
00:38:23Oh, hello, dear. Did you get the day off?
00:38:25About time to. Yeah, Mrs. Faber. No, Mrs. Faber.
00:38:30I'm getting sick of it.
00:38:32And how is our client?
00:38:34She's hooked good.
00:38:35Mm, good she is, huh?
00:38:37And, uh, must you feel that her beloved husband is close to her?
00:38:40I'm surprised she hasn't asked me to lay in extra places at dinner table.
00:38:45Here's a photograph of her parents.
00:38:47It was in the trunk where I found the wedding dress.
00:38:49Oh, that would be very useful.
00:38:54When are you gonna put the bite on her?
00:38:56Oh, Vivian, you put things so crudely.
00:38:59I imagine that very soon, Mrs. Faber is going to press money on me to continue my psychic research.
00:39:04Good. I'm getting sick of this Swedish eggnop. I need a new robe.
00:39:07Oh, I have a new assignment for you.
00:39:09Mm, straight from the obituary column.
00:39:11A lonely millionaire who...
00:39:16I had no more appointments today.
00:39:18Oh, here.
00:39:20Help me get these things out of the way.
00:39:22What do you pay for those chunks of glass these days?
00:39:25Three dollars apiece.
00:39:26Used to be a dollar ninety-five.
00:39:28You know, somebody ought to do something about this high cost of living.
00:39:31You should complain.
00:39:33You're selling them for twenty-five bucks to your psychic students.
00:39:37I used to.
00:39:38But who am I to fight inflation?
00:39:40I'm charging fifty now.
00:39:45Expensive car.
00:39:49Expensive clothes.
00:39:51I would say no brains and lots of money.
00:39:54So long as you're here, Vivian, you might as well check the car for me.
00:39:57There might be some papers or something in the glove compartment.
00:40:00Okay.
00:40:01I'll use a turban in case you find out something.
00:40:27There � Sue, please.아무
00:40:28Betty, come in... There they
00:40:35are. Come in.
00:40:41Do it.
00:40:44Buy out.
00:40:45Vietnam. view
00:40:47Uh book
00:40:54Arę
00:41:01Oh, this is such a pleasure, I mean, I've, I've heard so much.
00:41:25I'd rather not tonight, Martin, really, I'm much too tired.
00:41:30Well, let's decide about Friday later. Call me tomorrow.
00:41:35Good night.
00:41:36Will that be all, Mrs. Faber?
00:41:40That's all, Emily, thanks.
00:41:50Chris, let you and I spend the evening together.
00:41:53If you're tired, we could go to a movie.
00:41:55Well, actually, I'm busy tonight, Janet. I have an appointment.
00:41:59Chris, don't see Alexis tonight. Don't see him ever again.
00:42:04Janet, I thought we agreed not to discuss this.
00:42:06I'm not attacking Alexis, honest. I think he'd be very good for certain people.
00:42:11But not for me.
00:42:13Well, you see, when some people meet a fascinating personality,
00:42:18they're swept right off their feet.
00:42:20Like me?
00:42:21Yes.
00:42:23But other people can be more objective.
00:42:26Like me.
00:42:28It's true, Chris.
00:42:29In many ways, I'm more mature than you are.
00:42:33Janet, I have lived through most of your growing pains.
00:42:36And oftentimes, you've been insufferable. But tonight, this is...
00:42:38You see? You can't be objective.
00:42:40You're getting sore just because I'm trying to give you some good advice.
00:42:43Give me advice.
00:42:45Janet, please.
00:42:46It is good advice.
00:42:47Alexis agrees with me.
00:42:50Alexis agrees with you.
00:42:54You see, I've talked to him a few times about your problem.
00:43:01I... I went to his house.
00:43:05How did you find him?
00:43:08Fascinating.
00:43:10Absolutely fascinating.
00:43:14You know, he has one of the most vibrant personalities.
00:43:21And you came to this conclusion while discussing my problem?
00:43:25Well, we talked a little about me, too.
00:43:30Janet...
00:43:31Good night.
00:43:33I'll leave you alone with your objectivity.
00:43:35Objectivity.
00:44:17Good night.
00:44:18Good night.
00:44:19Good night.
00:44:20Good night.
00:44:30Alexis, I had to see you.
00:44:32Don't pay any attention to it.
00:44:33I feel a disturbance.
00:44:35If we are to reach the outer world tonight,
00:44:38we must leave behind us all thoughts that are hostile
00:44:41and on a low emotional level.
00:44:47Now, Janet, this is your first seance.
00:44:49There must be some skepticism in your mind.
00:44:52Oh, no.
00:44:52Perhaps only in your subconscious mind.
00:44:54But nevertheless, we shall proceed under test conditions.
00:44:57If you would be good enough to hold this key for me.
00:45:00And, Christine, will you tie my wrists together securely?
00:45:03Oh, there's no need to do that, Alexis.
00:45:05I have every faith in you.
00:45:06Oh, but I insist.
00:45:08For my own sake.
00:45:08Here, Chris.
00:45:09You take the key.
00:45:10I'll tie his wrists.
00:45:11All right, Janet.
00:45:12Start with the right one.
00:45:15Tie one knot in the center.
00:45:19Tightly.
00:45:20That's good.
00:45:21Now, tie my hands behind my back.
00:45:26Very tightly.
00:45:35Now, lock the cabinet.
00:45:38So that you know that I cannot possibly move from this chair.
00:45:48Now, Christine, will you switch off the light?
00:45:51The switch is right in behind you.
00:45:56The room must be completely dark.
00:46:00Sit down on the table.
00:46:06And clasp your hands together tightly with a key between your palms.
00:46:16If you see anything at all, do not move around or cry out.
00:46:21Let's go.
00:46:22Let's go.
00:46:43There you go.
00:47:04I don't remember him very well, isn't it?
00:47:08Yes, Janet.
00:47:11That's Dad.
00:47:27Do you feel it, Janet? The chill?
00:47:34A cold breeze, like ice.
00:47:48Good night.
00:47:53Good night.
00:47:59Good night.
00:48:05Good night.
00:48:19I'd sure like to know what's going on in there.
00:48:22If he's staging a seance, it'd be a good opportunity to prove he's a funny.
00:48:26Let's sneak around back. There may be a window we can look through.
00:48:28Or climb through.
00:48:55Paul!
00:49:17Lord, what are you doing?
00:49:19Showing you what a phony this man is. Where's the key?
00:49:24If you think he's still in here...
00:49:39What is it?
00:49:42He's quick on his feet, I'll say that for him.
00:49:44How could he get out when I locked him in?
00:49:46He could show you if he wanted to. You tie a knot like this.
00:49:51And then...
00:49:53Martin, this is dreadful.
00:49:54Yes, it is. I'm afraid I must insist you don't come here again.
00:49:59Insist? By what right do you insist?
00:50:01Well, we're engaged.
00:50:02Even if we were married, I'd think as I pleased.
00:50:05And I won't close my mind to truth just because you don't happen to understand them.
00:50:09Truth, poppycock. Be logical, Chris. Be logical.
00:50:13Pardon me, Mr. Abbott.
00:50:14Do you think you could possibly defer your discussion long enough to untie this rope?
00:50:19Oh, I'm sorry, Alexis. I'll do it.
00:50:21I happen to understand more about these things than you do.
00:50:24Do you realize that man has a criminal record?
00:50:26Alexis told us he was once in prison, if that's what you mean.
00:50:29Sometimes a prison record is something to be proud of.
00:50:31I'm terribly sorry about this interruption, Alexis.
00:50:34I saw him. I saw Paul.
00:50:36We will bring him back.
00:50:38Even if you could bring him back, she'd be better off if he stayed where he is, dead.
00:50:42She never meant anything to him but money.
00:50:44Martin!
00:50:45He'd been married and divorced before, each time with cash settlements.
00:50:48If he'd lived, he'd have made you miserable and ended up where he belongs, in jail.
00:50:53I never thought you'd attack a dead man with lies he can't answer.
00:50:56Yes, it's in the records.
00:50:58When Martin disappeared, did you or did you not ask me to investigate?
00:51:02Yes.
00:51:03Well, in the course of my snooping, I found a second Mrs. Faber.
00:51:07Divorced in Las Vegas just six months before he married you.
00:51:10I think he went over there to see her.
00:51:13I never could find her, though, and Paul was dead, so it seems very strange that,
00:51:18if it were true, you didn't find it necessary to tell Mrs. Faber.
00:51:21Yes, I suppose it is strange.
00:51:24Very silly to try and protect the girl you love.
00:51:28She only runs as fast as she can to another phony like you.
00:51:33Come on, Hoffman. Let's get out of here.
00:51:35Going so soon? I hope we might stay around a while.
00:51:39You should stay. We'd soon learn what amazing powers Alexis has.
00:51:42I'm always willing to learn.
00:51:44Perhaps you'd like to resume the séance?
00:51:47Yes. Under real test conditions.
00:51:52And have you report me for conducting a séance?
00:51:55I should say not.
00:51:56He probably could report you now.
00:51:59But if you'll sit down here at this table, and while we all hold hands like real good friends,
00:52:04if you can make any of your spirits walk or talk,
00:52:08I think Mr. Hoffman will let it ride this time.
00:52:10It's ridiculous.
00:52:12Show them, Alexis.
00:52:13Yes, Alexis.
00:52:15Do.
00:52:17I'm afraid, in such hostile circumstances,
00:52:19any contact with the spirit world would be practically impossible.
00:52:22Yeah, yeah. I've heard that pattern routine before.
00:52:25I know it's easier when you can run around the room in the dark.
00:52:27It doesn't run around in the dark.
00:52:30Go on, Alexis.
00:52:31Let them see for themselves what you can do.
00:52:34Okay, let's go.
00:52:54You know, you really ought to have an assistant on the premises for tight spots like this.
00:52:59We checked, you see, to make sure you hadn't.
00:53:01Shh.
00:53:02If you talk so loud.
00:53:03You mean we'll frighten the ghosts?
00:53:05You don't.
00:53:07I mean we're not.
00:53:09You're not.
00:53:09It sounds good.
00:53:15Yeah, but it sounds good.
00:53:20You're not.
00:53:23If you talk about your voice.
00:53:24If you tell us something, then you're getting the ghosts.
00:53:24And now, you're making your face.
00:53:26If you have a small house.
00:53:26If you want the ghosts are running, the ghosts.
00:53:27I'm going to ask you for that.
00:53:27I'm going to go.
00:53:28You're going to go.
00:53:30I'm going to go.
00:53:33I'll go.
00:53:50It's Paul.
00:53:52It's his voice.
00:53:54I didn't mean to frighten you ever.
00:53:57But I had to get through to you somehow.
00:54:00I've always loved you.
00:54:01You know that.
00:54:03Yes.
00:54:03Yes, Paul.
00:54:11And if you could only believe, we could be together for always.
00:54:32There wasn't anybody out there.
00:54:34It's funny here.
00:54:35There's never anything like this.
00:54:38If everybody will excuse me, this has been a terrible strain.
00:54:46Come on, Chris.
00:54:47I'll take you home.
00:54:49Let's go.
00:55:30What are you so startled about?
00:55:31You're used to raising the dead, aren't you?
00:55:34Although I guess with me, it was a little easier.
00:55:37Because I'm only legally dead.
00:55:41You know, I've been watching you ever since my widow started coming to you, Alexis.
00:55:46I find your methods quite amusing.
00:55:52Mmm.
00:55:53Excellent.
00:56:01How do you get out of that rope thing?
00:56:05Manipulation.
00:56:06But how did you...
00:56:07The cabinet?
00:56:13Just push a button and the idiots reach for their checkbooks.
00:56:16It isn't quite as simple as all that.
00:56:19There's a lot of psychology involved and research.
00:56:22Sounds dangerously like work.
00:56:25However, your bag of tricks can be useful to us in our present plans.
00:56:30We, uh, have plans.
00:56:34I didn't help you out tonight just for the fun of it, my friend.
00:56:37I can use you.
00:56:39You see, I need money.
00:56:41A lot of it.
00:56:42I don't understand.
00:56:45If you went back to Christine, you could have anything you want.
00:56:48You don't seem to have a very analytical mind.
00:56:50Oh, but Christine still loves you.
00:56:53She...
00:56:53Oh.
00:56:55You mean if you weren't dead, the police might want to know who it was they found burnt to death
00:56:59in your car, hmm?
00:57:00Exactly.
00:57:04Have I been using the wrong piece of music?
00:57:06What?
00:57:07Oh, no, no.
00:57:08You have the right one for Christine.
00:57:11I used this one for my first wife.
00:57:15Was it her ashes they found in the car?
00:57:19It was me they found in the car.
00:57:20Don't forget it.
00:57:24Perhaps I should point out that I'm in a very curious position.
00:57:27Since I'm believed dead, I could even kill a man.
00:57:30Nobody think of looking for me.
00:57:33You're in a curious position too, Alexis.
00:57:36You can't tell anybody I'm alive without exposing yourself.
00:57:40That's right, I can't.
00:57:41It is a very curious position.
00:57:43And a profitable one.
00:57:46I don't think it's too premature to congratulate you upon an extremely advantageous marriage.
00:57:52Marriage?
00:57:53Come, come, my friend.
00:57:54You must be prepared to make some small sacrifices.
00:57:57You don't expect me to marry Christine.
00:57:59No, no, the little one, Janet.
00:58:02She's still young enough to be dazzled by you.
00:58:06From then on, getting that estate will be like taking candy away from a baby.
00:58:10I don't think Christine will allow it.
00:58:14I'll take care of Christine.
00:58:21I'm a little rusty on this one.
00:58:23I'll have to practice.
00:58:26Have this piano tuned, will you?
00:58:49I'll take care of Christine.
00:58:50Thank you, Emily.
00:58:50Oh, no, ma'am.
00:58:51Not for you.
00:58:53Not after the night.
00:58:54You've been happy.
00:58:56And that's for you.
00:58:57Hot milk?
00:58:58Yes, ma'am.
00:58:59I'd rather have the coffee.
00:59:05I'll see that she drinks it, Emily.
00:59:09All right, I'll take it, but it won't do any good.
00:59:12You should really try and get more sleep, Christine.
00:59:14But I just can't.
00:59:17I'm never alone anymore.
00:59:19I keep hearing his voice now and seeing his face.
00:59:25It should comfort me, I suppose, but it's been frightening.
00:59:29Drink your milk while it's hot.
00:59:31It'll help.
00:59:34Alexis, do you suppose we've made a mistake?
00:59:38That first day when I came to your house,
00:59:39you said it might be better to repel Paul's spirit
00:59:42instead of bringing it closer.
00:59:45Perhaps you were right.
00:59:47Perhaps I was right.
00:59:48Then would it be better to try to break the contact now
00:59:51and not go...
00:59:52It's too late.
00:59:53At this stage, I could never break the contact.
00:59:56We'd have to finish what we started.
00:59:59If it would only bring me rest.
01:00:04Well, let's... let's begin the seance now.
01:00:09I think that before we start, you should relax.
01:00:13And I should be more familiar with the surroundings.
01:00:17It is very difficult for me in a strange house.
01:00:21Perhaps if I walked around the outside for a while...
01:00:23I'll show you.
01:00:24We can even go to the ocean.
01:00:26Go ahead, Janet.
01:00:28I'm feeling rather tired.
01:01:00I'll show you.
01:01:00Watch your step.
01:01:01It's awfully steep.
01:01:32You know, I think I have talent along spirit lines.
01:01:36You do?
01:01:37Yes.
01:01:38I've been reading and studying.
01:01:40I think maybe I'm mediumistic.
01:01:42You know that seance we had at your house when Paul appeared?
01:01:45Yes.
01:01:46Was that Paul's first visitation?
01:01:49Alexis.
01:01:51Oh, yes it was.
01:01:52You see, maybe it's because I was there, all tuned in and sensitive.
01:01:58Well, it could be.
01:02:00Did you ever see a better spirit manifestation?
01:02:04No, darling.
01:02:05That was an all-time record.
01:02:17I'm not.
01:02:20Are you thinking about my sister?
01:02:23Yes.
01:02:24She's very attractive, isn't she?
01:02:28Most men admire Chris.
01:02:30But Christine will always belong to Paul.
01:02:34I suppose that's true.
01:02:37I wish you wouldn't be so unhappy.
01:02:41Do you suppose they'll be joined together someday?
01:02:44In celestial companionship through all eternity?
01:02:48Like it says in the books.
01:02:50Yes, I'm sure they will.
01:02:54Alexis.
01:02:56Do you think I'd make a good celestial companion?
01:03:00Darling, I think you'd be wonderful.
01:03:01And we'd love each other through all eternity.
01:03:04Oh, even longer.
01:03:07Alexis.
01:03:08Why don't we start right here on the earth plane?
01:03:11Oh, dear, dear Jane.
01:03:14I think you're always so stupid.
01:03:18I don't know.
01:03:19I don't know.
01:03:19But I don't know.
01:03:19If she's being a little girl.
01:03:28I don't know what I'm going to get.
01:03:37I just don't know.
01:04:32I've come for you, dear.
01:04:41Hurry, Chris.
01:04:44Paul, wait.
01:04:48I'm frightened.
01:04:49There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:05:13There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:05:34I'm afraid.
01:05:37I'll race you to the beach.
01:05:42Last one is a coward.
01:06:12There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:06:42There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:07:05There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:07:08She's all right?
01:07:10I think she's all right.
01:07:28What are you doing here?
01:07:29Well, at the moment, I'm opening the door, but not very wide.
01:07:34You're not exactly welcome here.
01:07:36Where's Emily?
01:07:37It's Thursday, Mr. Abbott.
01:07:39Her day off.
01:07:41Where's Frida?
01:07:42Frida left yesterday.
01:07:44She said she thought the house was haunted.
01:07:46I can see what she means.
01:07:49I want to talk to Mrs. Faber.
01:07:50I don't think she wants to talk to you.
01:07:55Janet.
01:07:57Chris.
01:07:57She's mad.
01:07:58She's making herself ill with this morbid nonsense.
01:08:01Oh, it isn't bad.
01:08:03Chris had a fall last night on the cliff.
01:08:05She might have killed herself if Alexis hadn't caught her.
01:08:07What was she doing on the cliff?
01:08:09Well?
01:08:11She thought you heard Paul calling.
01:08:14Janet.
01:08:16We'll always be together, Chris.
01:08:21Together.
01:08:22Always.
01:08:24Yes, Paul.
01:08:26You'll always be mine, Chris.
01:08:36Chris.
01:08:37I'm waiting for you.
01:08:41Hello, Paul.
01:08:45Hello, Paul.
01:08:47We'll be together, Chris.
01:08:49Together.
01:08:50Always.
01:08:51Together.
01:08:54What did the doctor say?
01:08:55Chris wouldn't have a doctor.
01:09:04What did the doctor say?
01:09:06Chris wouldn't have a doctor.
01:09:08No.
01:09:09You've got to be logical about this.
01:09:11She's not badly hurt.
01:09:13She's just bruised and shaken.
01:09:15In the first place, she's in a state of hysteria.
01:09:17In the second place, she shouldn't be in this house.
01:09:19Everything in it reminds her of Paul.
01:09:21And finally, she shouldn't be left alone for one second.
01:09:24There's no telling what she might do.
01:09:25But I'm with her all the time.
01:09:27I haven't left her.
01:09:32Chris.
01:09:35Chris.
01:09:39Martin.
01:09:55Chris.
01:09:57Martin.
01:09:58Chris, are you all right?
01:10:00Yes, of course.
01:10:01What's in that bottle?
01:10:04It's just aspirin.
01:10:06I've got a headache.
01:10:10Chris.
01:10:11It's dangerous for you to stay here.
01:10:13You need rest and care.
01:10:15Perhaps in a hospital.
01:10:17You're trying to separate us.
01:10:19I won't go to a hospital.
01:10:20I won't leave this house.
01:10:22Only until you're better.
01:10:23No.
01:10:24You're trying to drive him away again.
01:10:27Now get out.
01:10:28Get out.
01:10:33I'll leave before I upset her anymore.
01:10:36I'll see you at the door, Martin.
01:10:45They've left the room.
01:10:46Then you can resume the treatment.
01:10:49If you hadn't tried to play the hero last night, all this wouldn't be necessary.
01:10:52I had to save Janet, didn't I?
01:10:54You're not falling in love with her, are you?
01:10:56Look, if I'm going to marry into this estate, there's got to be somebody for me to marry.
01:11:01Just by way of making conversation, that wife of mine in Las Vegas, the one who tried to back out
01:11:07on me and wanted her cash settlement back.
01:11:09I settled with her, but not for cash.
01:11:13Now if you should back out on me, I wouldn't hesitate to settle with you either, Alexis.
01:11:17I know.
01:11:18Because you're in such a curious position.
01:11:40What is it?
01:11:41You're bright.
01:11:42What is it?
01:11:42How long, Chris?
01:11:44How long must I wait?
01:11:46How long must I wait?
01:13:00Janet, get out of here.
01:13:02Why didn't you tell me you wanted money that badly?
01:13:05They've given it to you just to get rid...
01:13:08Paul!
01:13:11Yes, I'm alive.
01:13:14Illegally, I'm dead and I'm going to stay that way.
01:13:16If you're alive, I won't be able to.
01:13:19It's too bad you came down here, Janet.
01:13:50I'm ready to get me, Bradshaw.
01:13:51I'm ready to get me, Bradshaw.
01:14:04I'm ready to get you.
01:14:13It's too bad.
01:14:14I'm ready to get out.
01:14:17I got the music.
01:14:20My goodness.
01:14:21I'm ready to get out.
01:14:21My goodness.
01:14:32I don't know.
01:14:46You forgot, Paul.
01:14:47My profession is raising the dead.
01:15:22You're losing quite a bit of blood, aren't you, Alexis?
01:15:29Spirits don't need any blood.
01:15:37Do you think bullets can harm us ghosts?
01:16:00Too bad you missed.
01:16:02Those were your last two shots.
01:16:13The police are here, my friend.
01:16:16Your gun is empty.
01:16:18But at least you have been privileged to witness my best performance.
01:16:24You made one little mistake.
01:16:26I started with seven shells.
01:16:28I have one in the chamber.
01:16:41Alexis, you were wonderful.
01:16:45Yes.
01:16:46I guess there must be a better side to my nature.
01:16:50But now you must forget me.
01:16:52No, never.
01:16:53I don't need a crystal to see that your future is bright, Janet.
01:16:57Don't you go clinging to the past.
01:17:00I lived by feeding people's desire to escape the present.
01:17:07But you can't escape.
01:17:09For long.
01:17:11Alexis, I'm afraid for you.
01:17:14I'll be all right.
01:17:16I'll find some spirits that want to contact people.
01:17:25Open the window, Janet, please.
01:17:35Fly away, my friend.
01:17:38I won't need you anymore.
01:17:45Sorry.
01:18:01I was just a little surprised.
