Speaker 5: Producer, Mr. William Peter. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.
1:53
Speaker 6: Fifty years ago, in downtown Los Angeles, Talley's Motion Picture
1:56
Speaker 6: Theater was open. Not an opening night such as we
1:59
Speaker 6: have today. There were no stars and very little audience.
2:02
Speaker 6: But this new entertainment caught on and spread like wildfire.
2:06
Speaker 6: As with all American enterprise, competition became key. Producers were
2:10
Speaker 6: constantly trying to make better pictures. Writers to create better stories.
2:15
Speaker 6: And as a result, the motion picture took its place
2:18
Speaker 6: among the most important industries of America. Yes, motion pictures
2:22
Speaker 6: have played a major role in our lives in these
2:24
Speaker 6: past 50 years. They brought us the history and ways
2:27
Speaker 6: of all nations. We followed the events of the day,
2:30
Speaker 6: and the entire industry contributed to our gigantic war efforts.
2:34
Speaker 6: So the Lux Radio Theater is proud tonight to salute
2:37
Speaker 6: the motion picture industry and bring you 17 of its
2:40
Speaker 6: biggest stars in scenes from eight of the pictures that
2:44
Speaker 6: you'll soon be seeing at your theater. It has long
2:47
Speaker 6: been the policy of the Lux Radio Theater to bring
2:49
Speaker 6: you the very best in entertainment. Just as for many years,
2:52
Speaker 6: we brought you the very best in complexion care, Lux
2:56
Speaker 6: Toilet Soap. As we are devoted and loyal to Hollywood's best,
3:00
Speaker 6: so nine out of ten Hollywood actresses are devoted to
3:03
Speaker 6: Lux Toilet Soap as their favorite beauty care. Writers and
3:07
Speaker 6: producers are ever searching for story material that's timely. Thus
3:11
Speaker 6: did the modern biography come into its own. Because we
3:14
Speaker 6: enjoy knowing the true life stories of the.
3:16
Speaker 5: People we read about in our newspapers.
3:18
Speaker 6: The next month, the headlines will caption World Series. So
3:22
Speaker 6: let's play ball with a 20th Century Fox production, Pride
3:26
Speaker 6: of St.
3:26
Speaker 5: Louis.
3:27
Speaker 6: The story of Jerome Herman Dean, better known to his
3:30
Speaker 6: millions of fans as Dizzy Dean, starring Dan Daly as
3:35
Speaker 6: Dizzy and Joanne Drew as Pat. It's a bright, moonlit night,
3:47
Speaker 6: and a young man is paying a visit to the
3:49
Speaker 6: Nash residence in Houston, Texas. Quite in keeping with his character,
3:53
Speaker 6: the visit is strictly unorthodox. For the time is 2 a.m.,
3:58
Speaker 6: and the determined Mr. Dean is struggling to get a
4:01
Speaker 6: ladder under a second-story window.
4:04
Speaker 7: Jerome, what do you think you're doing?
4:07
Speaker 5: You got any idea how hard it is to get
4:09
Speaker 5: the land of a ladder in Houston? One fella started
4:12
Speaker 5: to call the police.
4:13
Speaker 7: You stay right where you are. You must be crazy.
4:15
Speaker 5: I am. About you. You know that, didn't you, Pat?
4:19
Speaker 5: And you asked me what did I think I was doing,
4:21
Speaker 5: didn't you? Well, I come here to get you to
4:23
Speaker 5: a loaf with me. A loaf? I wouldn't be in
4:26
Speaker 5: no such hurry, only that fellow Bishop, he's got me
4:28
Speaker 5: a little worried. You ain't in love with him, I
4:30
Speaker 5: know that.
4:31
Speaker 7: Do you?
4:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I talked it over with my brother Paul.
4:36
Speaker 5: Me and Paul decided, but if you keep on seeing
4:39
Speaker 5: Bishop and not seeing me, and especially if the Cardinal
4:42
Speaker 5: send for me, well, that means I got to live
4:43
Speaker 5: in St. Louis and he be right here in Houston. Well,
4:47
Speaker 5: that's mostly all me and Paul talked about, all even.
4:50
Speaker 5: I love her, Paul, I said, and I'd like for
4:52
Speaker 5: her to marry me. Will you marry me?
4:55
Speaker 7: You stay on that ladder. You come an inch closer.
4:58
Speaker 5: I'll... I was just getting closer to make sure you
4:59
Speaker 5: heard me. Of course, to tell the truth, I don't
5:02
Speaker 5: have to get no closer, because, well, you probably wouldn't know,
5:04
Speaker 5: but I've been the runner-up in the hog-calling contest in Lucas,
5:07
Speaker 5: Arkansas the last three years, and I.
5:09
Speaker 7: Don't you dare raise your voice.
5:11
Speaker 5: Then why don't you answer a person's question? Will you
5:14
Speaker 5: marry me?
5:15
Speaker 7: Tonight?
5:15
Speaker 5: Tonight.
5:16
Speaker 3: No.
5:17
Speaker 5: Tomorrow morning?
5:18
Speaker 7: No.
5:20
Speaker 5: Tomorrow afternoon?
5:22
Speaker 7: I never make dates that far ahead. How can a
5:24
Speaker 7: girl be sure?
5:25
Speaker 5: Look, Pat. I aim to be polite and friendly because
5:28
Speaker 5: I love you. But I'm going to get me an answer.
5:32
Speaker 5: Will you marry me tomorrow afternoon?
5:34
Speaker 7: Well, I really don't know.
5:36
Speaker 5: Look, Pat.
5:37
Speaker 8: Tomorrow afternoon. I always thought I'd have a big church
5:42
Speaker 8: wedding with bridal attendants and... You never know, do you?
5:46
Speaker 5: We talked to Mr. Monroe in the clubhouse. Me and
5:49
Speaker 5: Paul did.
5:49
Speaker 7: Mr. Monroe? I hope he approved whoever Mr.
5:52
Speaker 5: Monroe is. Well, he's the manager. Manager of the ball club.
5:57
Speaker 5: He said if they didn't have the full player limit
5:58
Speaker 5: right now, he'd take a chance. Said he thought he'd
6:01
Speaker 5: get Paul a tryout with St. Joe, Missouri. But we
6:04
Speaker 5: told him what we thought about trying out with St. Joe, Missouri,
6:06
Speaker 5: me and Paul. It's the St. Louis Cardinals or nothing
6:09
Speaker 5: for the both of us. Why, if I didn't figure
6:11
Speaker 5: Houston was the same as a Cardinals... Is he?
6:13
Speaker 7: Huh? Is that all you've got on your mind?
6:16
Speaker 8: Before we meet again to get married, how good a
6:18
Speaker 8: pitcher your brother Paul is?
6:19
Speaker 5: Now, you know better than that.
6:21
Speaker 7: Do I?
6:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, I know what you want me to say about
6:27
Speaker 5: how much I love you, how terrible I love you. Well,
6:31
Speaker 5: I do love you. Just that much and just that terrible.
6:35
Speaker 5: And you know why? I already asked Mrs. Berger at
6:38
Speaker 5: my boarding house could I have a double room instead
6:40
Speaker 5: of a single.
6:41
Speaker 9: You didn't.
6:42
Speaker 5: Sure did. When Paul says a thing is going to happen,
6:45
Speaker 5: it happens. The End Ain't this just the most wonderful
6:53
Speaker 5: day ever was?
6:54
Speaker 8: Darling, we're supposed to be on our way to East
6:57
Speaker 8: Houston to be married. This is almost the opposite direction
7:00
Speaker 8: you're taking. Disney, that's the ballpark down there.
7:04
Speaker 7: Well, isn't it?
7:05
Speaker 5: That's right, honey. I gotta stop by for a minute.
7:08
Speaker 7: Oh?
7:09
Speaker 5: It's a surprise for you. Oh. It won't only take
7:12
Speaker 5: a couple minutes to drive in and out. Hey, look
7:15
Speaker 5: at that crowd down there. Them bleachers are gonna be
7:17
Speaker 5: loaded today.
7:17
Speaker 8: Anything you've got to pick up, we could stop by
7:20
Speaker 8: the business office and.
7:21
Speaker 5: Not what I got in mind.
7:23
Speaker 7: What have you got in mind?
7:24
Speaker 5: Hiya, Dizzy. Hello, Miss Vance. Everything is all set, is it?
7:27
Speaker 5: The dailies are sent extra men.
7:29
Speaker 10: I made it sound so important, even the wire service.
7:31
Speaker 7: What's he talking about?
7:33
Speaker 4: Well, you see, Pat, I was having breakfast this morning
7:36
Speaker 4: with Larry here. He's press agent for the Houston Ball Club.
7:38
Speaker 4: And while I was busting with my news, I was
7:41
Speaker 4: that happy. I guess I must have said something to Larry. Well,
7:45
Speaker 4: can't you read between the lines?
7:47
Speaker 5: No. Well, it was Larry's idea for me and you
7:50
Speaker 5: to get married.
7:51
Speaker 7: I wasn't that nice of Larry.
7:52
Speaker 5: I mean at the home plate.
7:53
Speaker 7: Where?
7:54
Speaker 5: At the home plate with the ball game going on.
7:56
Speaker 11: Oh, it's never happened before in the history of baseball.
7:59
Speaker 4: And certainly not where the pitcher would shut out them
8:00
Speaker 4: White Sox with one lucky hit that shouldn't even have got.
8:03
Speaker 7: Dizzy, Dean.
8:04
Speaker 8: Well, there's nothing in this whole world that could persuade
8:06
Speaker 8: me to start our life together with such.
8:08
Speaker 7: A dizzy farce.
8:08
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I am dizzy. But if
8:13
Speaker 5: you'll forgive me just this once.
8:15
Speaker 8: Well, it looks like you'll have to get yourself a
8:16
Speaker 8: substitute quit, doesn't it, Larry?
8:18
Speaker 6: Yes.
8:18
Speaker 8: Maybe the first baseman could do a striptease dance. Or
8:21
Speaker 8: you could persuade Mr. Monroe to roll a peanut around
8:23
Speaker 8: the bases with his nose.
8:24
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm ashamed of you, Larry.
8:26
Speaker 4: Thinking you could get away with anything as dizzy as
8:28
Speaker 4: having a girl start her married life.
8:30
Speaker 5: Why, these things a fella just don't do, Larry. Huh? What,
8:33
Speaker 5: you yourself said.
8:33
Speaker 12: Hold on, Larry.
8:34
Speaker 5: We're going to get married where Pat wants to get married.
8:36
Speaker 7: Thank you, darling.
8:37
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:40
Speaker 5: Sure do hate to disappoint all them fans.
8:54
Speaker 6: One of the most popular forms of entertainment is the
8:56
Speaker 6: mystery story. In motion picture form, it immediately captures the
9:00
Speaker 6: imagination of audiences everywhere and has kept them on the
9:03
Speaker 6: edge of their seats ever since. Tonight, we bring you
9:06
Speaker 6: the very best in mystery drama, as presented by Universal
9:09
Speaker 6: International Studios in their story of suspense, Thunder on the Hill,
9:14
Speaker 6: starring Claudette Colbert as Sister Mary and Anne Blythe as
9:19
Speaker 6: Valerie Carnes. This is England, the countryside near the North Sea.
9:30
Speaker 3: For two days now, an angry flood has engulfed the lowlands,
9:33
Speaker 3: and the villagers have fled to the only place of safety,
9:36
Speaker 3: the convent and hospital of Our Lady of Reims.
9:40
Speaker 5: Among the new arrivals are a woman and a girl.
9:42
Speaker 7: They said we could have this room to ourselves. Better
9:45
Speaker 7: take off your coat, it's soaked. Can't you let me
9:47
Speaker 7: alone for a second?
9:48
Speaker 13: I only want you to be comfortable, but we'll probably
9:51
Speaker 13: be leaving soon.
9:52
Speaker 10: May I come in? I brought you some soup.
9:54
Speaker 7: Oh, thank you, sister.
9:55
Speaker 10: I was told there were three of you.
9:58
Speaker 7: Sergeant Mellings talking to the sister in charge.
10:00
Speaker 10: You mean Reverend Mother. I hope you like onion soup.
10:03
Speaker 7: I don't want any.
10:04
Speaker 10: Oh, please have some. It will warm you. I'm not cold.
10:07
Speaker 10: Then let me take your coat. Maybe you don't care
10:09
Speaker 10: about getting ill.
10:10
Speaker 7: But we do. Why should you?
10:12
Speaker 10: For one thing, our wards are overcrowded.
10:14
Speaker 7: Oh, don't worry. I shan't take up your precious space. Sister,
10:18
Speaker 7: there's nothing you can do for her.
10:19
Speaker 5: Yes, I.
10:20
Speaker 7: Let me have a cigarette. But I suppose smoking isn't permitted.
10:24
Speaker 10: Usually not, but under the circumstances. What circumstances? You know.
10:29
Speaker 7: I said, what circumstances?
10:30
Speaker 10: Well, practically the entire village is up here, so we
10:33
Speaker 10: can't be too strict about regulations.
10:35
Speaker 7: You're not fooling me. You know who I am. You're
10:37
Speaker 7: only being kind to me because it's your duty. Humble
10:40
Speaker 7: yourself to the sinner. Appeal to his conscience. It's the
10:43
Speaker 7: trick that never fails.
10:45
Speaker 11: Well, with me it does.
10:47
Speaker 7: You see, I've no conscience left.
10:49
Speaker 10: And I have no tricks left, except to ask you
10:52
Speaker 10: once more to take off your coat.
10:55
Speaker 7: All right. Now are you satisfied? I don't want you
10:59
Speaker 7: to be a failure on my account. Now your shoes.
11:02
Speaker 10: Let me take off those wet shoes.
11:03
Speaker 7: Get away from me.
11:04
Speaker 14: Let me alone.
11:04
Speaker 7: I don't want you to touch me.
11:06
Speaker 5: Get ready, Pierce.
11:07
Speaker 11: The Reverend Lady's been good enough to lend us their ambulance.
11:11
Speaker 5: We ought to be in Norwich within the hour.
11:13
Speaker 10: I'm afraid that's not possible.
11:14
Speaker 5: Why not, ma'am?
11:15
Speaker 10: The dike has been abandoned. They expect it to collapse
11:17
Speaker 10: at any moment.
11:18
Speaker 5: But we must be in Norwich before tomorrow. She's got
11:21
Speaker 5: to be there.
11:22
Speaker 10: It will be two or three days, I'm afraid.
11:24
Speaker 7: Two or three days? I couldn't stand it.
11:28
Speaker 11: Miss Carnes, please.
11:29
Speaker 10: Miss Carnes?
11:31
Speaker 15: Valerie Carnes, of course.
11:33
Speaker 7: That's right. Valerie Carnes, the murderer. Valerie Conto is on
11:38
Speaker 7: her way to Norwich Prison to be hanged in the morning. Please,
11:42
Speaker 7: could I take her to my room? Can you see
11:45
Speaker 7: the notices?
11:46
Speaker 13: Hanging postponed because of Ryan.
11:49
Speaker 7: Please, come.
11:50
Speaker 5: Please, come with me.
11:51
Speaker 16: Stay with her, please.
11:52
Speaker 5: Yes, sir. And don't leave her alone.
11:54
Speaker 3: Not for a second.
12:05
Speaker 5: It's the following night in Sister Mary's room.
12:09
Speaker 3: Valerie Carnes, the condemned murderess, quietly fingers the keys of
12:13
Speaker 3: a piano. I.
12:24
Speaker 10: I know so little about music. Is that Debussy?
12:28
Speaker 7: When did you come in? Just a few moments ago,
12:32
Speaker 7: when Miss Pierce left. Please, go on. No, it's not Debussy.
12:37
Speaker 11: It's Kahn.
12:40
Speaker 5: You're a composer.
12:41
Speaker 10: Jason Kahn.
12:42
Speaker 7: Jason. Your brother? Yes. The one I killed. You don't
12:48
Speaker 7: like it, do you? Oh, but I do. No, you don't.
12:51
Speaker 7: But you're wrong. You're all wrong. Jason's music had great
12:55
Speaker 7: merit and will not be forgotten.
12:58
Speaker 11: That's the only thing I still believe.
13:00
Speaker 7: Valerie, you didn't kill your brother. I'm sure you didn't.
13:05
Speaker 7: How very kind of you. That makes two of us.
13:09
Speaker 10: Even if you had done it out of some false
13:11
Speaker 10: sense of mercy, his death would be on your conscience,
13:15
Speaker 10: and you wouldn't find peace.
13:17
Speaker 7: You had it while you played. But I've told you
13:20
Speaker 7: I have no conscience. I'll never believe that. I should
13:23
Speaker 7: have played Jason Sonata for the jury. Perhaps they'd have
13:25
Speaker 7: acquitted me. I have the deepest conviction that you... Sure, now,
13:29
Speaker 7: don't talk about divine inspiration. I wasn't going to. Then
13:32
Speaker 7: tell me. Why do you think I'm not guilty? Tell me.
13:37
Speaker 7: Perhaps because I know how it feels to be guilty.
13:40
Speaker 7: All right. Suppose you believe in my innocence. What can
13:44
Speaker 7: you do about it? I can pray for you. Words.
13:48
Speaker 7: Just words. If you really want me to believe you,
13:51
Speaker 7: do something. Help me to live through these last few days.
13:55
Speaker 10: I will.
13:56
Speaker 7: Bring me the one human being who really cares about me.
14:00
Speaker 7: Bring you someone? His name is Sidney Kingham.
14:02
Speaker 5: Is he here?
14:03
Speaker 7: No, in Norwich. Only eight short miles away.
14:06
Speaker 10: Oh, but you know it's impossible to get to Norwich.
14:09
Speaker 7: You're a nun. A holy woman. Why don't you perform
14:13
Speaker 7: a miracle?
14:14
Speaker 5: Oh.
14:19
Speaker 15: This great flood. It's God's will. It must be his will.
14:26
Speaker 15: To surround our house with water. To let no one
14:29
Speaker 15: in and let no one out. And yet, if I
14:35
Speaker 15: could help her, oh, if I could only.
14:40
Speaker 7: I will get to marriage tonight.
14:55
Speaker 6: Now we'd like to call back to the center of
14:57
Speaker 6: our stage Claudette Colbert and Anne Blasch. Claudette and Ann,
15:02
Speaker 6: I can't think of two stars more representative of the
15:05
Speaker 6: motion picture industry. Two of our finest actresses and most
15:10
Speaker 6: beautiful women.
15:10
Speaker 12: Well, my.
15:12
Speaker 10: Well, thank you very much, Bill. Both Ann and I
15:15
Speaker 10: feel very honored that our picture was chosen for this
15:17
Speaker 10: tremendous broadcast. And I'm sure all the other players feel
15:20
Speaker 10: the same way.
15:21
Speaker 7: Yes, why, not only do we love making pictures, but
15:24
Speaker 7: we enjoy seeing them, too. I think it's wonderful that
15:27
Speaker 7: the players and the audience could attend the preview of
15:29
Speaker 7: these fine pictures at the same time.
15:31
Speaker 6: Yes, and imagine attending eight premieres combined into one.
15:35
Speaker 10: Well, I've attended many premieres in person, but this is
15:37
Speaker 10: the first time I've given a performance at one.
15:39
Speaker 7: That's right, Claudette. Why, it's my first time, too.
15:41
Speaker 6: Well, you know, every time I've seen you two on
15:44
Speaker 6: an opening night, I've said, now, there are two lovely ladies.
15:47
Speaker 5: And I'm proud to say, two luxe lovely ladies.
15:51
Speaker 10: Bill, any actress would be very foolish to neglect her appearance.
15:54
Speaker 10: And we all know that Luxe Toilet Soap is a
15:57
Speaker 10: fine complexion care. I highly recommend it.
15:59
Speaker 7: I'm devoted to Luxe Toilet Soap facial, too. It's my
16:03
Speaker 7: favorite beauty care.
16:04
Speaker 5: Thank you, Claudette and Anne.
16:06
Speaker 6: We're already looking forward to your next appearance on the
16:08
Speaker 6: Luxe Radio Theater.
16:09
Speaker 7: Thank you, dear.
16:16
Speaker 5: We continue with Movie Time USA.
16:19
Speaker 6: World War II brought us pictures of modern warfare. We
16:22
Speaker 6: were able to follow our men who were serving their
16:24
Speaker 6: country through their training onto the battlefield. And as we
16:28
Speaker 6: conquered the enemy, these same battlefields became the names of
16:31
Speaker 6: motion pictures and would ever be a memorial to the
16:34
Speaker 6: brave deeds of our heroes. Here is our tribute to
16:37
Speaker 6: just one of the many branches of our armed services.
16:40
Speaker 6: The RKO picture, Flying Leatherneck, starring John Wayne as Dan
16:44
Speaker 6: Kirby and Robert Ryan as Griffin. This is 1942. The
16:54
Speaker 6: Japanese had conquered the island chain of Guadalcanal, and we'd
16:58
Speaker 6: started the long climb back, despite the heartbreaking lack of
17:02
Speaker 6: men and material.
17:03
Speaker 5: Our Marines faced more than the enemy.
17:05
Speaker 3: Their planes, battered and spent, flew with scarcely enough gasoline.
17:09
Speaker 5: To bring them back. There were no replacements of equipment.
17:12
Speaker 3: Not enough food, not enough doctors, not enough medical supplies.
17:16
Speaker 6: And side by side with the enemy came malaria and dysentery.
17:21
Speaker 6: It's late at night, and warm nerves and tropical heat
17:23
Speaker 6: make sleep impossible. Two of the officers are talking, the
17:27
Speaker 6: flight surgeon and Major Dan Kirby, the squadron commander.
17:30
Speaker 16: Well, you see, you've got work.
17:31
Speaker 5: To do, Dan, and I'd better drop by sickbay. Now,
17:34
Speaker 5: before I go, I think there's a problem building up
17:37
Speaker 5: for you, Major Griffin. Griff? What about him, Doc? He's
17:40
Speaker 5: got the job. He's the best man in the squadron.
17:43
Speaker 3: I don't know what the outer edge of his endurance is,
17:46
Speaker 3: but I've got to use him.
17:47
Speaker 5: You know, I ought to be getting 80 bucks an
17:49
Speaker 5: hour for this. For what? I'm turning into a psychiatrist.
17:52
Speaker 5: I think I'll grow a little black beard. If you've
17:54
Speaker 5: got something to say, now's the time. Griff's identifying you
17:57
Speaker 5: as the villain, Dan.
17:59
Speaker 3: It's your fault this whole air operation hasn't enough men
18:02
Speaker 3: or equipment. Look, after this is over, Griff and I'll
18:04
Speaker 3: go out and get knee-walking drunk and forget it.
18:07
Speaker 5: Meantime, knock it off, Dr. Freud. I got a couple
18:10
Speaker 5: of missions to figure out. Got a minute, Major Kirby? Hello, Griff.
18:20
Speaker 5: Since when am I Major Kirby? Since you hung up
18:23
Speaker 5: this schedule. It's all lost up.
18:25
Speaker 3: Is it?
18:25
Speaker 17: You got the older guys flying this tough ground strike,
18:27
Speaker 17: and the replacements are flying cover for a bomber mission.
18:30
Speaker 5: That's a milk run. Let's switch it.
18:31
Speaker 3: No, send the replacements on a milk run. The older
18:34
Speaker 3: guys have had some ground strike experience.
18:36
Speaker 17: They've also had it tougher than the law allows.
18:38
Speaker 3: I didn't make the rules. I only live by them.
18:41
Speaker 3: Maybe I did make one mistake, though. You ought to
18:44
Speaker 3: go with the bomber group. We'll give them a commander
18:46
Speaker 3: who understands combat, and it'll give you a little command experience.
18:50
Speaker 17: But I haven't any records on these new guys. I
18:54
Speaker 17: don't know which of them has had the most ground
18:55
Speaker 17: support training. Let's leave it the way it is.
18:58
Speaker 5: I'll fly the ground strike with you.
18:59
Speaker 3: Sure, you'll fly the ground strike with us. You be
19:02
Speaker 3: with the decisions I make, but you're too soft to
19:04
Speaker 3: make them yourself.
19:06
Speaker 5: You just can't bring yourself to point your finger at
19:08
Speaker 5: a guy and say, go get killed. You gotta tear
19:10
Speaker 5: your guts out worrying about his flight record.
19:13
Speaker 3: Or because some dame back in the States has given
19:15
Speaker 3: him the brush off. Or whether he knows if his
19:17
Speaker 3: baby's been born yet. You got enough troubles of your
19:20
Speaker 3: own for one man. Stop trying to pack everybody else's around.
19:23
Speaker 3: Schedule admission.
19:25
Speaker 18: Roger.
19:27
Speaker 5: I got a belly full of you.
19:29
Speaker 17: And I'm not buying the bill of goods you're selling.
19:32
Speaker 17: In my book, it's easy to be a turtle. To
19:34
Speaker 17: put a shell between yourself and the rest of humanity.
19:37
Speaker 17: Maybe I'm not making my point clear. 400 years ago,
19:40
Speaker 17: a poet said it better than I ever could. No
19:43
Speaker 17: man is an island. When the funeral bell rings, it
19:46
Speaker 17: isn't just for the dead guy. It's a little bit
19:47
Speaker 17: for all of us. Each man's suffering belongs to everyone.
19:50
Speaker 17: Or else, why are we shooting off these guns? And
19:53
Speaker 17: I don't know what your reaction is going to be,
19:55
Speaker 17: but here's what I hope it is. I hope you say,
19:57
Speaker 17: let's take off those insignia and step out on the
19:59
Speaker 17: boondock and.
20:00
Speaker 5: Get it settled. You're one of the general headquarters right away, sir.
20:04
Speaker 11: The pilots think they're going to be relieved.
20:07
Speaker 5: Is that true? Definitely not. You've got your orders, Griff.
20:10
Speaker 5: Get going.
20:11
Speaker 3: A few days later, the missions are over.
20:19
Speaker 5: And once again, Dan Kirby and Griff are face to face.
20:25
Speaker 3: I suppose you heard, Griff. I've been relieved. I'm going stateside.
20:30
Speaker 3: I guess they've got another job for me. I'm sure
20:32
Speaker 3: the rest of the squadron will be relieved in the
20:34
Speaker 3: next couple of days.
20:36
Speaker 5: Guess the guys won't squawk about that, huh? What do
20:38
Speaker 5: you think? It's my considered opinion they'll welcome being relieved.
20:43
Speaker 3: I want to speak.
20:44
Speaker 5: Some plain English. Go right ahead.
20:47
Speaker 3: I recommended that you not take over the squadron. Do
20:50
Speaker 3: you want to know why?
20:51
Speaker 5: There's no regulation that says you owe me an explanation.
20:54
Speaker 3: Well, in a way, I feel like it's my own failure.
20:57
Speaker 3: You know, it's the commander's duty to train the men.
20:59
Speaker 17: Train the men under him for fitness to command. This
21:02
Speaker 17: is all unnecessary, Major. I know the Marine manual as
21:04
Speaker 17: well as anyone. Even as well as you. And Section
21:08
Speaker 17: 9 of the manual, the duties of leadership and command.
21:11
Speaker 5: Oh, well. So long, Griff. Maybe we'll meet up again sometime.
21:17
Speaker 5: I sure hope so. Without insignias. So long, Major.
21:49
Speaker 6: In An American in Paris, we see what music and the.
21:52
Speaker 5: Ballet have brought to picture.
21:55
Speaker 19: Inspired by the score of two of our most famous composers,
21:58
Speaker 19: George and Ira Gershwin, this Technicolor musical is an example
22:03
Speaker 19: of what tremendous scope the motion picture has to bring
22:06
Speaker 19: you romance set to melody. Highlighted by a gorgeous modern ballet.
22:12
Speaker 5: A musical extravaganza.
22:14
Speaker 6: Representative of the very best Hollywood can create, is this
22:18
Speaker 6: MTM production starring Gene Kelly as Jerry and Leslie Caron
22:23
Speaker 6: as Lisa.
22:28
Speaker 11: This is Paris, and I'm an American who lives here.
22:32
Speaker 11: My name is Jerry Mulligan. I'm an ex-GI. In 1945,
22:36
Speaker 11: when the Army told me to find my own job,
22:38
Speaker 11: I stayed on, and I'll tell you why. I'm a painter.
22:42
Speaker 11: All my life, that's all I've ever wanted to do.
22:45
Speaker 11: And for a painter, the mecca of the world for study,
22:48
Speaker 11: for inspiration, and for living is here on this star
22:52
Speaker 11: called Paris. Oh, if you've ever been here, you'd know
22:55
Speaker 11: just how I feel.
22:57
Speaker 20: Brother, if you.
22:58
Speaker 11: Can't paint in Paris, you better give up and marry
23:01
Speaker 11: the boss's daughter. I live on the left bank. In
23:04
Speaker 11: the past couple of years, I've gotten to know practically
23:06
Speaker 11: everyone in my neighborhood. And a nicer bunch you'll never meet.
23:11
Speaker 11: Back home, everyone said I didn't have any talent. They
23:14
Speaker 11: might be saying the same thing over here, but it
23:17
Speaker 11: sounds better in French. Oh, I have a lot of
23:19
Speaker 11: good friends in Paris. A lot of very good friends.
23:24
Speaker 11: But of all the people here, there's no one, believe me,
23:27
Speaker 11: like Lisa. Oh, it was easy to fall.
23:31
Speaker 5: In love with Lisa.
23:33
Speaker 11: But meeting her and getting to know her, that was
23:35
Speaker 11: something else again. Anyway, she finally broke down and gave
23:39
Speaker 11: me a date. And guess what we did? We went walking. Ah,
23:48
Speaker 11: this is wonderful. Just walking with you, Lisa. You see,
23:53
Speaker 11: I wasn't sure you'd come at all. I thought maybe
23:55
Speaker 11: you just said yes to get rid of me. Not
23:57
Speaker 11: that it would have.
23:58
Speaker 13: You have been here before, along the river?
24:01
Speaker 11: I come here all the time. I have a big
24:03
Speaker 11: thing for this spot. One of these days I'm going
24:05
Speaker 11: to paint it.
24:06
Speaker 7: You're a painter?
24:07
Speaker 14: Uh-huh.
24:08
Speaker 13: You don't look like a painter.
24:10
Speaker 11: There are those, dear lady, who will tell you I
24:12
Speaker 11: don't paint like one either. But that doesn't bother me.
24:15
Speaker 11: Discouragement stimulates me. You ought to know that.
24:17
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, I do.
24:19
Speaker 11: But mark me well, one of these days, the world
24:21
Speaker 11: will ring with the name of Mulligan. Picasso will be
24:24
Speaker 11: remembered as the forerunner of Mulligan. This tree will be
24:27
Speaker 11: famous because it was painted by Mulligan.
24:30
Speaker 7: And when will this golden age of art be?
24:32
Speaker 11: When will this golden age of art... Well, it's hard
24:35
Speaker 11: to say. Very hard to say. You see, civilization has
24:38
Speaker 11: a natural resistance against improving itself. It may take quite
24:42
Speaker 11: a while. Say, would you like a chocolate bar? Oh,
24:47
Speaker 11: I could eat the whole thing.
24:48
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
24:49
Speaker 11: The night's young. Let's live dangerously.
24:52
Speaker 7: Tell me some more about America, I mean.
24:55
Speaker 11: About America.
24:55
Speaker 5: Well, let's see.
24:57
Speaker 11: In America, Saturday night's the big night. No work, no school.
25:01
Speaker 11: When you get home, no money.
25:03
Speaker 7: And Sunday? Is Sunday night in America?
25:05
Speaker 11: Well, in America, everybody catches cold on Sunday.
25:09
Speaker 10: Did you?
25:10
Speaker 5: Well, sometimes.
25:12
Speaker 11: Look, Lisa, what about you? Aren't you sick and tired
25:16
Speaker 11: of the life and times of Mulligan?
25:18
Speaker 13: No, I'd rather listen to you.
25:21
Speaker 7: I don't like to talk about myself.
25:23
Speaker 11: Oh, Lisa, you're going to have to get over that.
25:25
Speaker 5: Why?
25:27
Speaker 11: Well, with a binding like you've got, everybody is going
25:30
Speaker 11: to want to know what's in the book.
25:32
Speaker 7: What does that mean?
25:34
Speaker 11: Well, let me see. Primarily, it means you're a very
25:36
Speaker 11: pretty girl. I am? Yes, you are.
25:40
Speaker 7: How do you know?
25:42
Speaker 11: I heard it on the radio.
25:44
Speaker 7: You're making fun with me.
25:47
Speaker 11: Doesn't everybody tell you that?
25:49
Speaker 7: I haven't been out with many people, and they're always friends.
25:53
Speaker 11: Honey, believe me, I'm no enemy. Lisa, I don't know
25:59
Speaker 11: whether you're a girl of mystery or just a still
26:01
Speaker 11: water that doesn't run deep, but there's one thing I
26:04
Speaker 11: can tell you. If I'd have been around sooner, you'd
26:07
Speaker 11: know by now that you're a very pretty girl. And
26:10
Speaker 11: I'm not making fun with you.
26:13
Speaker 18: It's very clear our love is here to stay. Not
26:24
Speaker 18: for a year, but ever and a day.
27:05
Speaker 9: Together we're going a long, long way.
27:15
Speaker 11: In time, the Rockies may crumble. Gibraltar may tumble.
27:22
Speaker 14: They're only made of clay.
27:26
Speaker 5: But....
27:32
Speaker 7: Our love is here to.
27:39
Speaker 5: Stay.
27:45
Speaker 7: Jerry? Oh, what time is it?
27:48
Speaker 11: Eleven o'clock.
27:50
Speaker 7: Eleven o'clock?
27:51
Speaker 14: Oh, I have to go.
27:52
Speaker 10: Where?
27:52
Speaker 5: I have to. Wait a minute.
27:54
Speaker 11: When will I see you again?
27:55
Speaker 7: I don't know.
27:56
Speaker 18: Well, how about tomorrow night?
27:57
Speaker 7: Oh, no, no.
27:59
Speaker 11: I can't.
28:00
Speaker 5: How about lunch?
28:01
Speaker 16: I'll tell you.
28:02
Speaker 11: Saturday morning, I'm at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.
28:04
Speaker 21: I'm finished at noon.
28:05
Speaker 11: Will you see me there?
28:06
Speaker 7: Saturday? Yes, I will. Goodbye, Jerry.
28:10
Speaker 22: Goodbye.
28:11
Speaker 5: Goodbye.
28:26
Speaker 3: In a moment, we'll return to Movie Time USA. But now,
28:30
Speaker 3: here's our Hollywood reporter, Libby Collins, with a beauty tip
28:32

28:47
Speaker 3: you know just what we mean by.

28:53
Speaker 14: to keep skin luxe-lovely. My daily Lux soap facials are

Speaker 3: You'll know why nine out of ten screen stars use
29:53
Speaker 3: Lux toilet soap. This program is transcribed. We pause now
29:57
Speaker 3: for station identifications. This is the CBS Radio Network. We
30:22
Speaker 3: continue with Movie Time USA. Here's your producer, Mr.
30:26
Speaker 5: William Keeley.
30:27
Speaker 6: Americans are sports-minded people. We love all games and the
30:30
Speaker 6: people who play them. Through the motion picture, our children
30:34
Speaker 6: have been taught fair play and been thrilled by those
30:36
Speaker 6: last-minute scores made by their heroes. We love a champion,
30:40
Speaker 6: but more than that, we love the underdog, someone who
30:43
Speaker 6: has the fortitude to play for the sake of.
30:45
Speaker 5: The game and not for the winning.
30:47
Speaker 6: We now present one of the finest examples of dramatic
30:50
Speaker 6: action in Columbia Pictures' Saturday's Hero, starring John Derrick as
30:55
Speaker 6: Steve Novak and Donna Reed as Melissa.
30:58
Speaker 3: Saturday's Hero is a football player. In this case, a dark,
31:07
Speaker 3: unsmiling boy named Steve Novak. But Steve's leaving the university,
31:12
Speaker 3: and there's a stop to make before he goes to
31:15
Speaker 3: the airport.
31:18
Speaker 7: Come in, Steve. I'm so sorry. How do you feel?
31:23
Speaker 23: I'll be okay. The doctors say I'll never play football.
31:26
Speaker 5: Again, but.
31:27
Speaker 7: Well, I meant about your father.
31:30
Speaker 5: How did you know?
31:30
Speaker 7: They just told me. You're going home?
31:34
Speaker 5: This afternoon, for good.
31:36
Speaker 7: Nothing here was any good, was it?
31:39
Speaker 5: What are you trying to say?
31:40
Speaker 7: Nothing, really.
31:41
Speaker 5: You think it's all wrong? What? You and I? I....
31:45
Speaker 7: I think it's very nice between us.
31:47
Speaker 5: But you're afraid it won't stay that way.
31:49
Speaker 7: Why do you say that?
31:50
Speaker 5: Because your uncle won't let it stay that way. Melissa,
31:52
Speaker 5: there have been lots of boys, haven't there?
31:55
Speaker 7: Lots of schoolgirl crushes, if that's what you mean.
31:57
Speaker 5: And not one of them ever mattered?
31:59
Speaker 13: Of course, they all did.
32:01
Speaker 7: At the time.
32:02
Speaker 23: Until your uncle turned them into something cheap and foolish.
32:05
Speaker 23: Something to be ashamed of.
32:06
Speaker 7: You don't understand. It isn't as though he's mean or small.
32:10
Speaker 13: He's been very good to me, Steve. You know how
32:13
Speaker 13: rich he is, but... I'm really the only thing he.
32:16
Speaker 7: Has in the world.
32:17
Speaker 5: And when the thing comes along that you really want.
32:20
Speaker 13: Then he'll understand. He'll have to understand. Steve, I want
32:26
Speaker 13: to marry you. I want to go with you. I
32:29
Speaker 13: guess I'd make a rotten wife, but I.
32:31
Speaker 23: I never told you about my home, did I, Melissa?
32:33
Speaker 23: A middle town. An old house where we live. When
32:38
Speaker 23: it rains, the walls are always damp. You run your
32:41
Speaker 23: finger along the wall, it leaves a wet mark. My
32:44
Speaker 23: old man... I used to go to the park with
32:47
Speaker 23: him on Sunday. We'd eat rye bread and onion sandwiches.
32:50
Speaker 23: He'd slice the bread with a pocket knife he brought
32:51
Speaker 23: from the old country. He had big hands. Blue and
32:56
Speaker 23: red on the fingernails. That was a shame because they
32:58
Speaker 23: always looked dirty. They were stained from the dye shop.
33:01
Speaker 23: He couldn't wash them off.
33:02
Speaker 7: Stained?
33:03
Speaker 23: He liked to sing when he had a little wine.
33:05
Speaker 23: Polish songs. Without the wine, he hardly ever spoke. The
33:09
Speaker 23: wine was because he was lonely. All inside himself.
33:13
Speaker 5: Now he's dead.
33:14
Speaker 7: No, don't. Don't.
33:16
Speaker 5: Why not?
33:17
Speaker 23: I never wanted to tell you about my home before.
33:19
Speaker 23: I can now and it's good. You still want to
33:22
Speaker 23: go with me?
33:23
Speaker 7: Yes.
33:24
Speaker 5: Go ahead and pack. I'll wait here until you... I
33:26
Speaker 5: just got the report from the hospital, Novak. Tough. Sure
33:30
Speaker 5: is tough. Oh, you better get ready, Melissa. We're leaving
33:33
Speaker 5: for Norfolk.
33:34
Speaker 7: I'm not going, TC.
33:35
Speaker 5: You don't have much time. Get your bags ready for
33:37
Speaker 5: the show, Val.
33:38
Speaker 7: I'm going home with Steve. We're getting married.
33:41
Speaker 5: We won't have time for dinner if we leave on
33:42
Speaker 5: the road.
33:43
Speaker 7: I'm not going.
33:44
Speaker 5: I told you to pack your bags. She doesn't have
33:47
Speaker 5: to take your orders.
33:48
Speaker 24: We've been all through this before, haven't we, Melissa? All
33:51
Speaker 24: through your whims. Whatever you wanted, I always gave it
33:54
Speaker 24: to you.
33:54
Speaker 5: Sure. Sure, and now she's scared to death of you.
33:56
Speaker 24: Why, you poor fool. What did she do, kiss you?
34:00
Speaker 24: I've seen a wagon load like you come and go.
34:02
Speaker 5: Melissa, look at me. He says you're afraid of me.
34:05
Speaker 5: Is that true?
34:06
Speaker 7: It's no use, TC.
34:07
Speaker 5: Did I ever do anything to hurt you? You don't
34:10
Speaker 5: really want this boy.
34:11
Speaker 7: He has nothing.
34:12
Speaker 5: You can't live that way. We'll live. Just leave us alone.
34:15
Speaker 5: Leave you alone? You come near her again and I'll
34:18
Speaker 5: make you sorry you were ever born. Stop it.
34:20
Speaker 7: Stop it. Steve, go home, darling. Your brother's waiting for you.
34:25
Speaker 7: Go home, Steve. I'll follow tomorrow.
34:26
Speaker 5: Melissa.
34:28
Speaker 7: I'll come. Steve, you believe me, don't you?
34:32
Speaker 5: Yes. I believe you, Melissa.
34:42
Speaker 13: Now he's dead, Steve.
34:43
Speaker 5: Papa's dead. You never had time for him, did you?
34:45
Speaker 5: Two years of college. What did he ever ask you
34:47
Speaker 5: except to write him once in a while? You never
34:49
Speaker 5: had time. You were too busy. Football, big football hero.
34:55
Speaker 5: You want a drink? No, Joey, nothing. Are you hungry?
34:59
Speaker 3: No.
35:00
Speaker 5: Steve, you all right, kid? Joey, I quit school. You're through, huh? Everything?
35:07
Speaker 5: They hurt you? My shoulder. The doctor said... That's not
35:10
Speaker 5: what I mean. Sure. Sure, I took a beating. Joey,
35:14
Speaker 5: I want you to help me. I want to get
35:16
Speaker 5: a job. Maybe you can get me one at the shop.
35:19
Speaker 5: Can you do that? Is that what two years of
35:20
Speaker 5: college was for? To wind up in a... No.
35:23
Speaker 23: I need a job while I finish school. I'm going
35:25
Speaker 23: to finish. I can do it in night school around here.
35:28
Speaker 5: Or New York. One good for nothing and the family's enough. Okay. Sure,
35:34
Speaker 5: I'll help you. An educated man. Ha, ha. My kid
35:38
Speaker 5: brother's an educated man. Hey, Steve, that girl... Eddie told
35:42
Speaker 5: me about a girl. It's all off, huh? I must
35:45
Speaker 5: have been crazy. Thinking that she... Yeah. Yeah, it's all off.
35:51
Speaker 5: I'm sorry I yelled at you, kid. I don't know why... Hello? Who?
35:56
Speaker 5: Just a minute. It's for you, Steve. Western Union. Telegram.
35:59
Speaker 5: Will you read it, please? Steve, darling, am on my way.
36:05
Speaker 11: From Norfolk in the morning, meeting Newark Airport tomorrow.
36:10
Speaker 22: All my love, Melissa.
36:25
Speaker 6: During World War II, Hollywood made many training films which
36:28
Speaker 6: were invaluable in teaching all branches of the armed forces.
36:32
Speaker 6: Hollywood then discovered that audiences were also interested in knowing
36:36
Speaker 6: just how our men learned to use unfamiliar weapons and
36:40
Speaker 6: fly new planes that gave almost unbelievable performances. Here's the
36:45
Speaker 6: unforgettable story of the B-29 in the Republic picture, Wild
36:50
Speaker 6: Blue Yonder, starring Wendell Corey as Cal, Vera Ralston as Helen,
36:55
Speaker 6: and Forrest Tucker as Tom West.
37:07
Speaker 3: It was in the spring of 1943 that I first
37:10
Speaker 3: met that sleek, powerful, and dangerous.
37:12
Speaker 5: Lady, the B-29.
37:15
Speaker 3: My crew and I were back from the Mediterranean. Fifteen
37:18
Speaker 3: missions with the 15th Air Force.
37:19
Speaker 5: We figured we knew all there was to know about bombing.
37:22
Speaker 3: We'd been flying the B-24s, the biggest and best as
37:25
Speaker 3: far as we were concerned, until we reported to Smoky
37:29
Speaker 3: Hill Air Base in Kansas.
37:31
Speaker 5: Hello, Cal. Good to see you. Hiya, Tom. Do I
37:34
Speaker 5: look surprised?
37:35
Speaker 7: Well, I am.
37:36
Speaker 5: So you're operations officer. And a major at that. Congratulations. Thanks. Only, uh,
37:42
Speaker 5: how come the desk job?
37:44
Speaker 16: You always said I'd make a good school teacher, so
37:45
Speaker 16: here I am, instructing.
37:47
Speaker 5: My proper station in life. Have a chair. And what's
37:50
Speaker 5: the lowdown on these 29s?
37:51
Speaker 3: They're great, Cal, but you'll have your hands full learning
37:54
Speaker 3: how to fly them. Two wings and four fans, they fly,
37:57
Speaker 3: don't they?
37:58
Speaker 16: This 29 is a big, complicated airplane. Compared to it.
38:02
Speaker 5: 24's a kite. You flew a 24, you ought to know. Oh, sorry, Professor.
38:07
Speaker 5: Just slipped out.
38:09
Speaker 16: My crew and I studied the 29 for three months
38:11
Speaker 16: at the Boeing plant.
38:12
Speaker 5: We're supposed to be the lead crew. Here's a manual.
38:14
Speaker 5: Study it, Cal. We begin classes tomorrow.
38:17
Speaker 3: That's what I like about the Air Corps. They figure
38:19
Speaker 3: you're never too old to learn. Well, I hope my
38:21
Speaker 3: crew can read. Tell me, how's the lady situation around
38:26
Speaker 3: this place? There's only one lady for you at Smoky Hill.
38:30
Speaker 5: A lady called B-29. There were ladies at Smoky Hill,
38:35
Speaker 5: plenty of them. But there was only one Helen Landers.
38:39
Speaker 5: Lieutenant Helen Landers of the Nurses' Corps.
38:41
Speaker 3: The first time I saw her, she was in the
38:43
Speaker 3: officers' club.
38:44
Speaker 5: With him. Down wet. Sorry I'm late, Helen. Tough day.
38:50
Speaker 5: All those new crews coming through. It's wonderful to relax
38:53
Speaker 5: with you.
38:55
Speaker 7: A very pretty speech. And I believe it.
38:58
Speaker 5: Mind if I sit down? Oh, uh, my name's Calder, Lieutenant. Calder,
39:02
Speaker 5: my friend. This is a dangerous man, Helen. A Casanova.
39:06
Speaker 5: You have that word in your native language? Casanova?
39:09
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, it's international.
39:11
Speaker 5: German or Czech, Lieutenant? What is it?
39:14
Speaker 7: My accent? Neither, Captain Calvert.
39:17
Speaker 20: Before Hitler, I was Viennese.
39:19
Speaker 7: I've been American ever since.
39:20
Speaker 5: Fine. Now, off of Pete's sake, Tom, what's the lady's name?
39:26
Speaker 5: All right, Helen.
39:27
Speaker 16: Helen Landers.
39:28
Speaker 5: Thanks for the introduction, cousin. Don't mention it. mention it, cousin.
39:31
Speaker 7: Are you two related?
39:32
Speaker 5: Strange as it may seem. We have aunts and uncles
39:35
Speaker 5: in common. And that's about all we have in common. Oh,
39:38
Speaker 5: I don't know. Well, well, well.
39:41
Speaker 21: So it is the same Tom West. Been having engine
39:45
Speaker 21: trouble lately, Captain? Oh, pardon me. See, you're a major now.
39:50
Speaker 5: Knock it off, Ted.
39:50
Speaker 18: Beat it.
39:51
Speaker 21: Hiya, Lieutenant Landers. Did the major here tell you about Ploesti?
39:55
Speaker 5: I said knock it off.
39:56
Speaker 21: This wrong-way guy goofs off overseas and ends up on
39:59
Speaker 21: the gravy train stateside.
40:01
Speaker 5: He's a phony, see? Strictly a phony. Shut your drunken
40:04
Speaker 5: yap-crunch off. And from now on, keep it shut. Okay, okay.
40:08
Speaker 5: What do you got to get so tough about?
40:10
Speaker 7: Tom, weren't we going to see that movie?
40:14
Speaker 5: Thanks, Eleanor. So long, Cal.
40:16
Speaker 22: See you.
40:17
Speaker 5: Yeah. So long, Lieutenant. Anything wrong, Helen? You haven't said
40:29
Speaker 5: a word since we left the club.
40:31
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Tom.
40:33
Speaker 5: You're wondering about what that drunk said. I want to
40:35
Speaker 5: tell you.
40:36
Speaker 7: Tom, please.
40:37
Speaker 16: Why not?
40:37
Speaker 5: You'll find out sooner or later.
40:39
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter.
40:41
Speaker 16: On the bombing mission to the Ploesti oil fields, the
40:43
Speaker 16: big one, I turned back. I claimed I had serious
40:46
Speaker 16: engine trouble.
40:47
Speaker 7: And you didn't?
40:50
Speaker 5: No.
40:51
Speaker 7: Well, I'm sure it wasn't as simple as that.
40:54
Speaker 3: You're right, it wasn't.
40:55
Speaker 16: Believe me, Helen, if I'd have been alone, I'd have
40:57
Speaker 16: gone through with it. But I liked that crew. We'd
41:00
Speaker 16: been together from the start. It was to be our
41:02
Speaker 16: last mission. On the 24th, we lost two crew members
41:05
Speaker 16: torn up by flak. Halfway to the target on our 25th.
41:10
Speaker 16: I suddenly didn't want.
41:11
Speaker 5: To take that crew to Ploesti. I knew what they'd
41:13
Speaker 5: be in for. I wanted them to go on living.
41:15
Speaker 5: Does that make any sense?
41:19
Speaker 7: Of course.
41:20
Speaker 5: You don't sound very sure.
41:21
Speaker 7: Look, the men in your crew respect your decisions. Well,
41:26
Speaker 7: so do I.
41:27
Speaker 16: I really was having a little engine trouble.
41:29
Speaker 5: I might or might not have made it to the target.
41:31
Speaker 5: I guess I took the easy way.
41:34
Speaker 7: Thanks for telling me, Tom. But you didn't have to.
41:37
Speaker 5: Yes, I did. I wanted to for a long time.
41:40
Speaker 16: I was afraid someone else would tell you first. There
41:43
Speaker 16: mustn't be any doubt between us.
41:45
Speaker 7: Now, come on, Tom. Let's get to the movie, huh?
41:51
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of portals in the weeks that followed,
41:53
Speaker 3: and after that in China, India, and then came my
41:56
Speaker 3: transfer to the South Pacific, Tinian Island.
42:00
Speaker 16: So from now on, Cal, there'll be no more bombing
42:02
Speaker 16: from those high altitudes. The strikes aren't hitting the way
42:04
Speaker 16: they should. Starting today, it's 12,000 feet in daylight and 6,000
42:08
Speaker 16: at night.
42:08
Speaker 5: You're crazy, Tom. We'd get murdered for that old dude. Besides,
42:11
Speaker 5: we're clobbering him now.
42:12
Speaker 16: Sure, but the aerial reconnaissance photos tell the real story.
42:15
Speaker 16: If you looked at them the way I've been doing,
42:17
Speaker 16: you'd know. You have to be scientific about it.
42:19
Speaker 5: Scientific? A paddlefoot flying a desk telling me to look
42:22
Speaker 5: at photos? Is that scientific? I haven't seen the real thing.
42:25
Speaker 5: Do I have to look at pictures?
42:26
Speaker 16: Cal, you know you can't see much at 20,000 feet
42:28
Speaker 16: bombing through an undercast. But the strike photos show the
42:31
Speaker 16: bombs are spreading out too far.
42:32
Speaker 5: That's all. There's not enough precision. It's easy to talk
42:35
Speaker 5: about precision from where you sit. You want us to
42:38
Speaker 5: come in on the deck and get the daylights knocked
42:39
Speaker 5: out of us?
42:40
Speaker 3: Aren't we bleeding enough? Aren't enough crews getting shot down?
42:42
Speaker 3: You want to like Ploesti?
42:44
Speaker 5: So we're back to Ploesti again, huh?
42:47
Speaker 16: You've got your orders, Cal.
42:49
Speaker 5: Your orders, Major West?
42:50
Speaker 16: And if you'd like them in writing, I can arrange that, too.
42:52
Speaker 5: Thanks for everything, cousin. I hope you and Helen will
42:55
Speaker 5: be real happy.
42:57
Speaker 16: Oh, just a minute, Cal.
42:58
Speaker 5: Well? I got news for you.
43:01
Speaker 16: I'm flying with you.
43:14
Speaker 5: In a moment, we'll continue with Movie Time USA.
43:18
Speaker 6: But meanwhile, I want to take time to have a
43:20
Speaker 6: chat with Joe Andrew and Donna Reed.
43:23
Speaker 20: We'll be delighted, Bill.
43:24
Speaker 5: First, may I thank you both for appearing tonight and
43:26
Speaker 5: for your fine performances.
43:28
Speaker 7: We thank you.
43:29
Speaker 8: And I know I also speak for Donna when I
43:31
Speaker 8: say we were happy to contribute our part in this
43:33
Speaker 8: tribute to the motion picture industry.
43:35
Speaker 7: We're proud to be associated with these fine pictures.
43:37
Speaker 5: You know, Joanne, there's an old saying in Hollywood that
43:39
Speaker 5: if you want to be in pictures, you have to
43:41
Speaker 5: go east.
43:42
Speaker 8: That's not true in my case, Bill. I came west
43:44
Speaker 8: to California, all the way from West Virginia.
43:46
Speaker 5: And how about you, Donna? Surely you went to New
43:48
Speaker 5: York and made your debut on the stage there?
43:50
Speaker 13: And that's not quite true in my case, Bill. You see,
43:53
Speaker 13: I'm an Iowa girl, although I did go to college
43:56
Speaker 13: in Los Angeles and went into pictures from there.
43:58
Speaker 5: You certainly make getting into pictures sound easy.
44:02
Speaker 7: It just sounds that way. As you know, Bill, it
44:04
Speaker 7: takes a great deal.
44:05
Speaker 24: Of hard work.
44:06
Speaker 5: And would you say that a luxe complexion helps?
44:10
Speaker 7: Yes, indeed.
44:11
Speaker 13: As you know, camera close-ups are very exacting, Bill. I
44:16
Speaker 13: don't take any chances. I always use Luxe Toilet Soap
44:19
Speaker 13: for my complexion care. Luxe Soap facials certainly are a
44:22
Speaker 13: dependable beauty care. I've been devoted to them long before
44:25
Speaker 13: I began making pictures.
44:27
Speaker 6: Yes, a good complexion is very important, particularly for screen actresses. Now,
44:32
Speaker 6: let's continue with Movie Time USA.
44:34
Speaker 7: We're listening.
44:36
Speaker 6: Naturally, no tribute to motion pictures would be complete without
44:39
Speaker 6: the adventure story, Frontiersman Indians Explorers, with the most wonderful
44:44
Speaker 6: setting for any picture, the great outdoors. The history of
44:48
Speaker 6: our nation has provided many a scenario filled with true
44:51
Speaker 6: adventures and created our greatest heroes from the brave men
44:55
Speaker 6: who helped to settle this country. Here's our next scene.
44:59
Speaker 6: United States Pictures production for Warner Brothers, Distant Drum, starring
45:03
Speaker 6: Gary Cooper as Quincy Wyatt and Mary Alden as Judy.
45:17
Speaker 6: The year is 1840, the territory of Florida. A young
45:21
Speaker 6: naval lieutenant has begun a strange and mysterious mission inland
45:25
Speaker 6: to a.
45:25
Speaker 3: Rendezvous with an army officer known to him only as
45:29
Speaker 3: Captain Quincy Wyatt. The journey was through a jungle, beautiful, weird, deadly.
45:37
Speaker 3: And finally, where the stream widened into a lagoon nestling
45:39
Speaker 3: between sky and water was an island.
45:42
Speaker 5: And on it, the headquarters of Captain Wyatt. He was
45:45
Speaker 5: waiting for me. Howdy, Lieutenant. Any trouble getting here? No, sir.
45:49
Speaker 5: As far as I know, I came unobserved.
45:51
Speaker 12: How long do you reckon it'll take to move your
45:53
Speaker 12: boat overland to Lake Okeechobee?
45:55
Speaker 5: Well, before I answer, may I say you have my sympathy, sir?
45:58
Speaker 5: How's that?
45:59
Speaker 3: Well, my craft is only big enough to carry 40 men.
46:02
Speaker 5: Well, that's all right, because that's all the men I
46:04
Speaker 5: got left.
46:06
Speaker 3: 40 men to go clear across Florida and take a fortress?
46:09
Speaker 5: That's suicide.
46:10
Speaker 3: Maybe you're right, but somebody's got to try and nip
46:13
Speaker 3: off the Seminole's supply of guns. And as long as
46:15
Speaker 3: that fort's there, the Indians are just going to keep
46:18
Speaker 3: on getting them. But an attack in small fort must fail.
46:21
Speaker 3: I've seen that fort. It's absolutely impossible to take it
46:24
Speaker 3: by less than a brigade.
46:25
Speaker 12: I'm sorry you think it's a hopeless, Lieutenant, because I'm
46:28
Speaker 12: the fellow that thought it up. And about those 40
46:31
Speaker 12: men of mine, in a swamp, they're equal to a brigade.
46:35
Speaker 5: Well, we'll be ready to leave in an hour.
46:39
Speaker 3: Three days later, Captain Wyatt had accomplished the impossible. But
46:46
Speaker 3: the destruction of the fort had aroused another enemy, the
46:49
Speaker 3: Seminole Indians. To Wyatt now has fallen the terrible task
46:53
Speaker 3: of leading his 40 soldiers and the prisoners they have
46:55
Speaker 3: freed through the treacherous.
46:57
Speaker 5: Everglades to safety. Among the prisoners is a girl.
47:05
Speaker 7: Well, Captain?
47:05
Speaker 5: Captain?
47:06
Speaker 20: We going to get out of here alive or not?
47:08
Speaker 12: Now, that's something the men would sure like to know.
47:11
Speaker 12: I'd like to know myself. We're safe here till morning.
47:14
Speaker 12: Seminoles don't relish the dark. Any more questions, Miss Beckett?
47:18
Speaker 7: Some, maybe.
47:20
Speaker 5: If I was you, I'd ask them now, come morning.
47:23
Speaker 5: I may not be around to answer.
47:25
Speaker 7: I was just figuring.
47:27
Speaker 5: Figuring what? You.
47:30
Speaker 20: And how much cross it would take to make you
47:32
Speaker 20: a pair.
47:32
Speaker 7: Of those tight-dosing bitches real fitted like?
47:36
Speaker 25: A pair of lacquered boots and a swallowtail coat and
47:40
Speaker 25: a fancy shirt with a silk string tie. You look
47:43
Speaker 25: mighty grand walking down Drayton Street in Savannah.
47:47
Speaker 12: I might look all right walking down that street you're
47:49
Speaker 12: talking about, but I look like a darn fool here.
47:53
Speaker 7: You ever been to Savannah?
47:55
Speaker 5: Nope, and I don't figure to go.
47:57
Speaker 7: It's a nice way to live.
47:59
Speaker 25: Sipping tall absinthe coolers at a sidewalk cafe. Attending garden
48:04
Speaker 25: parties with the gentle folks.
48:06
Speaker 12: Don't it make you redden up, talking like quality, a
48:10
Speaker 12: cracker gal like you?
48:11
Speaker 7: Cracker gal?
48:15
Speaker 20: Well, it takes a cracker to tell a cracker.
48:17
Speaker 10: What part of Georgia are you from?
48:18
Speaker 5: Okefenokee. My folks lived on pine nuts and squirrel meat,
48:21
Speaker 5: same as yours.
48:23
Speaker 20: I should have known. But how did you smart me
48:25
Speaker 20: out like that?
48:27
Speaker 5: The way you walk.
48:28
Speaker 12: Down home, you used to tie up a gal's leg
48:30
Speaker 12: when she was 16 so she'd get her first pair
48:33
Speaker 12: of shoes on. That's how it was with you, wasn't it?
48:36
Speaker 14: I still got the marks of that rope on my shinbone.
48:40
Speaker 12: You didn't pick up that highfalutin talk in the crack
48:42
Speaker 12: of country. Where you been wandering?
48:44
Speaker 14: Oh, Charleston, Havana, wherever the gold coins roll.
48:48
Speaker 5: Well, there ain't any around here. What are you doing
48:51
Speaker 5: in this territory?
48:52
Speaker 25: I was bound on a New Orleans for Savannah when
48:54
Speaker 25: my boat was pirated by those renegades.
48:56
Speaker 7: You blew up.
48:57
Speaker 5: What happened to the other passengers?
48:59
Speaker 20: Perhaps the renegade needed to find them as.
49:02
Speaker 7: Interesting as he did me.
49:04
Speaker 5: How'd you get along with him?
49:06
Speaker 20: You found me in a dungeon, didn't you? You put
49:09
Speaker 20: me in there to think it over.
49:11
Speaker 5: Did you?
49:12
Speaker 20: The rats were getting bigger every day.
49:14
Speaker 7: You arrived just in time.
49:18
Speaker 5: Where are you heading from here?
49:19
Speaker 7: Back to... Savannah.
49:21
Speaker 12: Well, is that what's most important to you? As important,
49:24
Speaker 12: for instance, as my putting my arms around you?
49:27
Speaker 7: Let me alone.
49:28
Speaker 10: Stay away from me.
49:29
Speaker 5: You sure fancy that Savannah quality, don't you?
49:32
Speaker 20: I don't fancy them. I hate them.
49:34
Speaker 12: So that's the burr under your hide. You're planning to
49:36
Speaker 12: get even with the whole town.
49:38
Speaker 7: Not the whole town. Just one man.
49:41
Speaker 5: Is he the one that tied your leg up?
49:43
Speaker 20: I tied up my own leg. He's the one that
49:46
Speaker 20: put the shoes on me.
49:48
Speaker 5: Fancy shoes?
49:49
Speaker 7: That wasn't the way it started. But that's the way
49:52
Speaker 7: it worked out.
49:53
Speaker 5: You had no objections?
49:55
Speaker 7: I was too young to have much objection about anything.
49:58
Speaker 20: My father had some.
50:00
Speaker 7: But he was a cracker.
50:01
Speaker 20: And rich folks know how to handle crackers. Found him
50:06
Speaker 20: down on the levee one morning.
50:08
Speaker 5: Dead.
50:10
Speaker 10: They said he'd been run over by a wagon.
50:12
Speaker 20: But I never saw wagon wheels that would leave lash
50:15
Speaker 20: marks on a man.
50:16
Speaker 5: You got a way of writing that?
50:18
Speaker 11: I do.
50:20
Speaker 20: I've put a lot of years in this, and now
50:21
Speaker 20: I'm ready.
50:23
Speaker 25: When I get back there, they'll find out Quality's not
50:25
Speaker 25: the only one who can swing a black snake whip.
50:28
Speaker 12: When you were looking at me, measuring me for that suit,
50:31
Speaker 12: how did I fit in? Was it in your mind
50:34
Speaker 12: that I was going to help you swing that whip?
50:38
Speaker 7: Maybe.
50:39
Speaker 12: Well, if that's the score you want to settle, you'll
50:41
Speaker 12: have to do it by yourself.
50:42
Speaker 20: Then that's the way I will do it. That's why
50:47
Speaker 20: I'll get out of this swamp no matter how.
50:50
Speaker 7: Nothing is going to stop me.
50:52
Speaker 20: Not the seminoles or the snakes or the quicksand.
50:56
Speaker 7: Not even you.
50:57
Speaker 5: You're real sure of that, aren't you? You're still so sure?
51:06
Speaker 7: Were you to kiss me again.
51:07
Speaker 15: Maybe I wouldn't be.
51:12
Speaker 7: But you're not going to kiss me again. So it
51:16
Speaker 7: still goes. Nothing's going to stop me, Quincy. Not even you.
51:34
Speaker 6: And now we come to a picture that has a
51:35
Speaker 6: bit of everything. Comedy, drama, romance, and music. Yes, in
51:40
Speaker 6: these 50 years, many things have changed, but not people.
51:44
Speaker 6: They still like to laugh a great deal, cry a little,
51:47
Speaker 6: but most of all, they like to see boy meets girl,
51:50
Speaker 6: boy loses girl, boy gets girl. And if it's set
51:54
Speaker 6: to music, well, that's just perfect. And we have a
51:57
Speaker 6: perfect example in Paramount Pictures, Here Comes the Groom, starring
52:01
Speaker 6: Bing Crosby as Pete, and Jane Wyman as Emmerdale Jones.
52:16
Speaker 6: This is the story of Pete Garvey, who went to Europe,
52:20
Speaker 6: and Emmerdale Jones, who waited for him to come home.
52:24
Speaker 19: Waited for three long years.
52:29
Speaker 9: You see, every time I told Emmerdale I'd be coming
52:31
Speaker 9: home to marry her, well, something would come up and
52:34
Speaker 9: there'd be a little delay.
52:35
Speaker 5: A little delay?
52:37
Speaker 7: Get him. Three years of delay.
52:40
Speaker 14: Well, I've had enough. I'm getting married and not to
52:42
Speaker 14: Pete Garvey. He's Wilbur Stanley, who's very rich, very good-looking,
52:47
Speaker 14: and very much in love with me.
52:48
Speaker 5: See, I even brought her a ready-made family. I adopted
52:51
Speaker 5: them in Paris. Two of the swellest kids you ever saw.
52:54
Speaker 14: They're wonderful kids. But I'm going to marry Wilbur Stanley.
52:58
Speaker 5: I'm going to marry Wilbur Stanley. Okay, but I've got
53:01
Speaker 5: to give my children a home.
53:02
Speaker 11: You've got to help me find one, dear.
53:03
Speaker 16: Well, all right, I will.
53:05
Speaker 14: So it happens that among Mr. Stanley's many enterprises is
53:08
Speaker 14: a very active real estate department. I'll take you down
53:11
Speaker 14: to the office right now. I'll find a house for
53:14
Speaker 14: those poor little children if it takes all night.
53:16
Speaker 22: Well, all right.
53:25
Speaker 11: You sure it's okay, Emmy?
53:26
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, walking into the office like this.
53:29
Speaker 10: Oh, don't be silly.
53:30
Speaker 14: Now sit down. I'll see what sort of a house
53:31
Speaker 14: I can find.
53:32
Speaker 5: Emmy. Emmy, I've changed. Honest, I have. I know you
53:37
Speaker 5: don't realize it, but I have. Honest.
53:39
Speaker 9: Gee whiz, when you've wandered around homeless for years and
53:41
Speaker 9: you finally come back to the girl that you love.
53:43
Speaker 14: If I'd known you were coming, I would have brought
53:45
Speaker 14: my vial in.
53:47
Speaker 5: You're a hard woman, Emmett L. Jones.
53:50
Speaker 7: That I am.
53:50
Speaker 5: A hard, hard woman. Come over here by the window,
53:54
Speaker 5: will you? I want to show you something.
53:56
Speaker 22: Well?

Speaker 5: Look yonder. Gloucester. Are you crazy?
54:01
Speaker 7: You can't see Gloucester from here.
54:03
Speaker 5: I can, Emmett.
54:05
Speaker 9: We were going to spend our honeymoon in Gloucester. I
54:08
Speaker 9: can see a boy and a girl. Dopey sort of
54:11
Speaker 9: a boy, but the girl's all fire and water. A lovely,
54:13
Speaker 9: lovely will-o'-the-wisp.
54:15
Speaker 7: You got the boy right, finally.

54:19
Speaker 5: green and white waves.

Speaker 14: Look, he's clipped. Little M doing cartwheels on the beach
54:24
Speaker 14: was delightful, I'm sure. But Big M, already searching in
54:28
Speaker 14: the mirror for her first wrinkles. Big M wants security. Now,
54:32
Speaker 14: can you still see Gloucester?
54:34
Speaker 5: Well, it's getting a little murky. But I'll always see Gloucester, Em. Honestly,
54:39
Speaker 5: I will. I want a home. I want you. I
54:40
Speaker 5: need you, Emmy.
54:41
Speaker 14: Look, let's get back to business and find a house
54:44
Speaker 14: for those poor little kids.
