  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In recent years, a
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: number of Hollywood producers have departed from the field of
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: fiction in favor of portraying facts. Facts filmed where they
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: actually took place. By doing this, they attain a reality
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: that is powerfully dramatic. I'm using the same technique in
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: the picture which I'm making now. 20th Century Fox employed
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: this factual technique, too, in filming their recent screen hit,
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Kiss of Death. which we present with its original stars,

  Speaker 5: crime detection based on the original narrative by Eliezer Lipsky,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: a former assistant district attorney in New York City, where
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: our play unfolds. I think you'll agree there's no substitute
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: for beauty facts, too. which is why screen stars themselves,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: who must be sure of a radiant and lovely skin
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: for camera close-ups, depend so faithfully on Lux soap care.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: In fact, I'm sure that goes for lovely women everywhere.

• 2:50
  Speaker 5: and here's our first act, starring Victor Mature as Nick Bianco,

• 3:07
  Speaker 5: New York City, the Criminal Courts Building. The office of
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Louis D'Angelo, assistant district attorney.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You can sit down, Bianco. You know who I am?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: What difference does it make who you are? Never mind
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: getting pressed, Bianco. All right, you're the DA. Assistant DA.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Nick Bianco, age 29, indicted for grand larceny, armed robbery,
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: the Peacock Jewelry Company.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Why can't I have my lawyer here? Mr. Earl Hauser, attorney.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Because I want to talk to you alone. Go on, then. Talk.
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: You pulled your first job 12 years ago, Nick. You
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: were 17. 60 days in the city reformatory. You've gone
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: a long way since then, haven't you? What are you
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: trying to get at?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I want the names of those three men who were
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: with you when the peacock holed up.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: Get smart, Bianco. You know what this raffle means. Six years,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: maybe ten. But it's possible I can help you.
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: You want me to squeal? You're wasting your time. I've
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: had offers before from the DAs, and I haven't changed.
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: You have changed, Nick.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: You're married now. Parole officer says you have two kids,
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: two little girls. That could change things considerably.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: I said I haven't changed. Sometimes I think those doctors
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: are right. All crooks are crazy. Imagine a guy with
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: two little girls.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Shut up. He don't like that. How old are they, Nick?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I'm interested in kids. I've got four of my own. Me? Here.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Here's the picture. Can I look at your pictures? What pictures?
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Pictures you've got in your inside coat pocket. Go ahead.
• 4:33
  Speaker 9: Look at them.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, beautiful kids, Nick. Yeah, cute, huh?
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: No man's lucky to have kids. But having a father
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: like you, I wouldn't say is very lucky for them. No, Nick,
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: your kids haven't had much luck.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Look, I'll take care of my family my own way.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: By keeping your mouth shut? By going to prison?
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Do you know why you're doing it? Because you've got
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: that good old hoodlum complex.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: No squealing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: Go on, let your kids starve, let your home go
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: to pot. But don't squeal on someone, no good mugs
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: who wouldn't turn a finger for you.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I hate crooks.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: Then why waste your time on me? Because a guy
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: who could have two kids like that isn't a crook.
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: Stupid, yes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: On the wrong foot, yes. But he isn't one of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: those mugs that don't belong to human society. Those kids
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: are two normal, decent little human beings. Give me that wallet.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: And no crook could make them that sweet. You're coming
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: up before Judge Halstead. He'll throw the book at you
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: if you don't cooperate.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I said no deal, D'Angelo. And don't ask me again.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: All right, Shelby, take him downstairs. Tell Mr. Hauser I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: sorry he had to wait. Yeah, me too.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: If you should change your mind later on, Nick, let
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: me hear from you. Remember my name and get in
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: touch with me. I'm your insurance policy.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You don't ever give up, do you? I usually do.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: But I tried a little extra hard this time. So long. Hello, Mr. Houser. Hello, son.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: So you've been talking to D'Angelo, huh? You don't have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: to worry.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Good, Nick, good.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Your words, all I need. Not that the boys were
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: worried you'd squeal. Did they pay you? Everything's been taken
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: care of.
• 6:18
  Speaker 10: Good.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't want you to expect very much in court, son.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: We have no defense at all. So what do I do?
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: You trust me.
• 6:26
  Speaker 11: Even when the judge gives you the works, just stand
• 6:28
  Speaker 11: pat and rely on Earl Houser, Nick.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's when I really go to town. On the parole?
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: It may take a while, but I'll get you out, Nick.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: You won't serve a third of your sentence. Have you
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: seen my family? Yes. And don't worry about your kids.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: They're fine. Good. You can rely on me. They'll be
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: taken care of. Thanks, Mr. Hauser. Thanks for everything.
• 6:51
  Speaker 10: The End.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: So you're Nick Bianco, huh? Boy, you're a big man.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I'm Tommy Udo. Yeah.
• 7:06
  Speaker 12: Imagine me in on this cheap rap six months. Big
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: man like me. Picked up just for shoving a guy's
• 7:12
  Speaker 12: ears off his head. Traffic ticket stuff.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: You talk too much. You mean these dopey cops here?
• 7:17
  Speaker 12: Just because we're handcuffed to a couple of cops.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I should shut up? I don't even know they're sitting here.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: A real tough guy, aren't you, Tommy?
• 7:25
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 7:25
  Speaker 14: Hey, Nick.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Nick, today's my birthday. Yeah, today. Congratulations.

  Speaker 9: No kidding.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Now, tell you something, big man. I never spent a

• 7:37
  Speaker 2: cheer up, big man. It's my birthday party. We get
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: a free feed tonight. Look, I got a lot of
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: free feeds coming. Eight years of free feeds. You never learn,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you guys. You just never learn.
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: Hey, Gord.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Gord.
• 7:57
  Speaker 9: What's the matter, Bianco?
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: This letter you just gave me.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what about it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: Well, look at the envelope. It says, party no longer
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: at this address. That's crazy. She's got to be there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: That letter's there, the one I sent my wife.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Did you ever think she might have moved?
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: Look, I wonder why she didn't write me. She hasn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: written me for a month. It just doesn't make sense.

  Speaker 2: in again. I just saw him. Here in the shop now? Yeah,

  Speaker 2: Take it easy, Nick. Your wife, she's dead. Dead?

  Speaker 16: I found a good job in a music store. I

  Speaker 2: Eddie Williams. Big Eddie? Yeah.
• 15:30
  Speaker 9: Who else?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Tony Mangoni. Know him, shall we?
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: I know him.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Who else? Pete Rizzo.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: Rizzo, huh?
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Who else? And me. What about Tommy Udo? Who? Tommy Udo.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: The tough boy. He was sent up the same day
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: you were. He's out now. I never worked a job
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: with Udo. Okay. Who drove the car?
• 15:47
  Speaker 9: Rizzo.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Which one of you slugged old man Peacock? Mangoni.
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: If it's on the level, Peacock's a cinch to identify him.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Who was the fence you used on this job?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I was grabbed too soon. Who would
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: have handled it?
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: Rizzo.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Would Rizzo have gone to the fence direct? No. You
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: mean you'd call somebody first and he'd tell you where
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to go? Yeah. Who would you call? Earl Hauser. Earl Hauser.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: Another eminent shyster with connections. Nick, I better keep you
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: down here in the city jail for a while. I
• 16:15
  Speaker 6: want you to go on cooperating with me. You mean
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: go on being a stoolie? That's what I mean.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 16:23
  Speaker 12: If?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: If what? If I could see my kids once in
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: a while. You can see them. When your pals get
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: pulled in, they're going to be pretty sure you did
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the singing. I don't care what they think.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: But I do.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: No sense in getting you killed. Now, what are two
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: things we can do to throw them off? What's some
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: job you pulled that you didn't get caught on?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: You think I'm nuts? You've got to trust me. Well, I.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: Thompson Fur Company. Four years ago last March. Were any
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: of those mugs in on it?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Only Rizzo. All right, Shelby.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: You booked Nick on the Thompson fur job. That's our
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: excuse for bringing him back to town.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Can I take another wrap? Stop worrying now. We'll drop
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: the case later for insufficient evidence. But why?
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: I'm just trying to cover you up. And I told
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: you why. I want to use you again. And you've
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: got to be in the clear with Hauser and everybody
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: else who knows you.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: I'll send out an order to pick up Rizzo.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Rizzo drove the car.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: The only one who could identify him would be Nick.
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: And that won't stand up. Pick up Eddie Williams and Mangoni.
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: Then the mob will figure that Rizzo's the stoolie and
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: that we made a deal with him. You, uh, don't
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: like Rizzo particularly, do you, Nick?
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: No. Anyway, here's what you do. You get hold of Mr.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Earl Hauser, tell him about the Thompson rap, tell him
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: you think somebody squeals.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: Your side of the fence is almost as dirty as mine.
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: With just one difference. We hurt bad people, not good ones.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. And watch your step. Just watch your
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: step with Hauser. He's a sharp operator. And remember, you're
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: no good to me if he tumbles. He won't tumble.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: When do I see my kids? I'll take care of
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: that tomorrow. Thanks.
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: Well, I.
• 18:06
  Speaker 16: I'm.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: A squealer now. Feel bad about it, Nick? I haven't
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: any feelings, Mr. D'Angelo, one way or another.
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: In a moment, we'll return with Act Two of Kiss
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: of Death. Meanwhile, here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood reporter. Who's
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: in the spotlight this evening, Libby?
• 18:37
  Speaker 14: One of the most fascinating stars in Hollywood, Mr.
• 18:39
  Speaker 16: Keeley.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Merle Oberon.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, Merle Oberon. She's in RKO's new picture, Night Song,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: with Dana Andrews.
• 18:44
  Speaker 16: Uh-huh.
• 18:45
  Speaker 14: He plays the part of a blind composer.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: With Ethel Barrymore and Hoagie Carmichael in the humorous supporting roles. Well,
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: it must have been a lively set to visit, Libby.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was.
• 18:54
  Speaker 14: You know, Meryl O'Brien, who seems aloof and exotic in
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: some of her roles, I found to be the gayest,
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: friendliest person you could imagine.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: She has a very appealing role in Night Song, too,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: don't you think?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: Yes, she plays a young socialite with a rare combination
• 19:09
  Speaker 14: of sympathy and sophistication. Meryl O'Brien is a truly glamorous person,
• 19:14
  Speaker 14: exquisitely lovely. And, uh, Mr. Kennedy, listen to this. She
• 19:19
  Speaker 14: has very definite ideas about the right kind of complexion care.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Well, then I'm sure that smooth, soft complexion of hers
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: gets gentle Lux soap.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Care, Libby.
• 19:27
  Speaker 14: It certainly does. Lux soap facials, Merle O'Brien finds, give
• 19:32
  Speaker 14: delicate skin just the protection it needs. She's used Lux
• 19:36
  Speaker 14: toilet soap for years, for her complexion and for her bath, too. And,
• 19:40
  Speaker 14: of course, now she's simply delighted with the new bath-size cake.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, that big new bath-size Lux toilet soap is getting
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: rave notices in Hollywood.
• 19:48
  Speaker 14: Screen stars love it. because it gives lots of the creamy,
• 19:52
  Speaker 14: fragrant lather that makes a luxe soap bath a real
• 19:55
  Speaker 14: beauty bath.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: The new bath size cake is available now to women everywhere.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: The same fine white luxe toilet soap, but in a
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: generous larger size, specially created to make your beauty bath
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: more luxurious than ever.
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: Women love the delicate, clinging perfume of Lux Toilet Soap.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And the new bath-size cake has that identical flower-like fragrance.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Here's a shopping tip for tomorrow. Buy the big new
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: bath-size Lux Toilet Soap. You'll see it in the familiar
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: sampler wrapper. The whole family will enjoy this generous, big,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: luxury cake. Back now to your producer, William Keeley.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Intermission's over, and here's Act Two of Kiss of Death.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Starring Victor Mature as Nick Bianco, Colleen Gray as Nettie,
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: and Richard Widmark as Tommy Udo. Nick Bianco has made
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: a deal. He's bought his freedom at the price of
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: turning informer. It's the following day, and with the assistant
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: district attorney, Nick is at the orphan home waiting to
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: see his two little girls.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm nervous. They may not even know me.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: They'll know you, Nick.
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: You know, they used to jump up on me and
• 21:11
  Speaker 8: grab my ears, and I used to... Say, what was
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: the name of that sister? Sister Veronica. She seemed pretty nice, huh?
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. This isn't a bad place at all for Ken.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: Here are your children, Mr.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Bianco. Thank you.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: Well, go on in, children.
• 21:26
  Speaker 16: This is your father.
• 21:29
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 21:30
  Speaker 17: I recognized him.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: Hello, father.
• 21:33
  Speaker 14: Hello, father.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Connie... Rosie.
• 21:37
  Speaker 17: Sister Veronica told us you were coming today. You've been
• 21:41
  Speaker 17: away for a very long time.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honey.
• 21:45
  Speaker 18: You look different, Daddy. I thought you would have white hair.
• 21:48
  Speaker 10: No.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: No, I... Well, aren't you going to kiss your father? Oh, Daddy, Daddy.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Let me kiss him, too. Let me kiss him, too.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: You kids, you... you kids.
• 22:02
  Speaker 17: Mama got hurt, Daddy. And we waited for you and
• 22:06
  Speaker 17: said prayers for you every night. And God sent you back.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Sure, Connie. Sure.
• 22:12
  Speaker 18: We're so lucky, Daddy. Of all the children, we're the
• 22:15
  Speaker 18: only ones here who have a daddy. Nobody else has.
• 22:19
  Speaker 18: Just Connie and me. We have a daddy.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I can't go back sometime, Mr. D'Angelo. I can't see
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: him again, can I? Sure, sure.
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: They're swell kids, Nick. What I've done, it's worth it.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Just to see him again, it's... Nick, as soon as
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: we get back to town, we put you in the
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: city jail.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: You call your lawyer. The Thompson fur job, right? Don't worry,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I'll keep my end of the bargain.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: Hey, Bianco.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Your lawyer's here. Well, well, we meet again, Nick. How
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: are you? Okay, Mr. Hauser. When I received your message,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: I dropped everything. Came right over. Thanks. Sit down, son.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Sit down. How long have they had you here? Since yesterday. Well,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: we can say this much for it. It's a change,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: at least. I don't like it. Course not. Course not.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Just making a bad joke. You've had quite a bit
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: of trouble, I hear. Besides this, I mean.
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: Your wife.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe it wouldn't have happened if you'd done your job
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: like you said. Your parole? Yeah, my parole.
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: Well, I've been pushing it, Nick, and I'm going to
• 23:39
  Speaker 11: get it. I gave you my word and I still
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: give it to you. I'm going to put that parole through. Now,
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: let's hear about this new trouble. Have they made any
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: specific charge?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The Thompson Fur Company heist. Four years ago. That's
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: reaching back, isn't it? Somebody must have had it in
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: for you. That's one way of looking at it. How
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: do you look at it? Like you said, somebody's been
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: doing some squealing. I see. Who's handling this upstairs? D'Angelo.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Our old friend, eh? Think he's finally got hold of
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: a squealer? That's what I think. Were you under suspicion
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: for the Thompson job at the time? No. Ah. Who
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: were you running around with in those days, Nick? I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: used to hang around with Pete Rizzo. He was your partner? Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Rizzo was my partner. Pete Rizzo?
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Hmm.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Did, uh, D'Angelo mention him when he talked to you?
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody mentioned his name. Ah, I don't think they've got
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: much of a case.
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: When D'Angelo finds that he's not going to scare you
• 24:39
  Speaker 11: out of anything, I'll wager he drops it.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: That'll be all I need. Another rap and I'll never
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: get my parole.
• 24:43
  Speaker 11: Everything's going to be all right, Nick. I think I'll
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: do a little checking on Pete Rizzo. Oh, say, if
• 24:49
  Speaker 11: they start roughing you up here, you'll let me know.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: I can take care of myself.
• 24:52
  Speaker 19: Fine.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Goodbye, Nick. And don't worry about a thing... Hello? Hello, Arthur.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: This is Earl Hauser. Let me speak to Tommy Udo.
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: Okay, Mr. Hauser. Hello, Early.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I want to see you, Tommy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: Your office?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: No, the other place. You know where. I've got a
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: little job for you, Tommy. Now, right away. Howzer speaking.
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: This is Tommy. Pete Rizzo ain't gonna squeal.
• 25:37
  Speaker 19: Again for a long, long time.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: Not too good. He ain't in town.
• 25:43
  Speaker 19: He skipped before I got there. And how do you
• 25:45
  Speaker 19: know that he's... Because he's gonna read something in the papers.
• 25:49
  Speaker 19: His old lady, see? She's had an accident. Fell down
• 25:54
  Speaker 19: the stairs. I think maybe she's dead.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Oh. That's too bad.
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: Yeah. And when that squirt Rizzo reads about it, he's
• 26:06
  Speaker 9: going to keep moving.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Well, just as long as you're sure there isn't going
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: to be any more talking. Good work, Tommy.
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: Anytime, Ernie. Taking care of squealers I really like.
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: Yes?
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Is Nettie Cavallo at home?
• 26:24
  Speaker 16: In just a minute, and I'll see you.
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, Nettie!
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: Yes, Mrs.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Keller?
• 26:29
  Speaker 17: There's a gentleman here to see you.
• 26:33
  Speaker 9: Nick!
• 26:33
  Speaker 17: Oh, for goodness sake, come home.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, if there's a phone call for Nick Bianco, that's me.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Will you call me, please?
• 26:38
  Speaker 16: Sure, I'll call you.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 26:40
  Speaker 17: Oh, Nick, Nick, I can hardly believe it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 16: You're out, but when? They didn't tell me last week.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I didn't know last week.
• 26:47
  Speaker 16: Oh, it's wonderful to see you like this, like you
• 26:49
  Speaker 16: used to be. I mean, not inside a jail or anything.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I wanted to surprise you, Nettie. I was hoping you'd
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: be home.
• 26:55
  Speaker 16: Oh, I almost went to the movies. Oh, Nick, what happened?
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: I got a parole.
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: No.
• 27:00
  Speaker 16: Oh, that's wonderful.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: It's... Nettie... Come here.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, Nick.
• 27:08
  Speaker 16: I love you so much.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: It's going to be all right, Nettie. Don't cry, honey.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Just give me a little time. Nettie, will you marry me?
• 27:16
  Speaker 16: Oh, I've waited for you. I've waited, waited.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: My kids. We'll have a home for the kids. A
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: real home, Nettie.
• 27:22
  Speaker 16: Oh, yes, a real home, darling.
• 27:24
  Speaker 9: Telephone, Mr.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Bianco.
• 27:26
  Speaker 16: Telephone?
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I'll be right down. Excuse me, Miss Nettie.
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Bianco, Nick.
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: I thought you might be interested to know I had
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: a call from Hauser. Just got word you'd been paroled.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: Wanted to do a little crowing.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: He thinks he got the parole over my dead body
• 27:44
  Speaker 9: and I let him go right on thinking so.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: Nick, that man I spoke to you about, he'll be
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: at the fights tonight.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: St.
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: Nicholas Arena, ringside.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be there.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Don't mention a word about Rizzo or what happened to
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: his mother. We're much more interested in that Larry Young murder.
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: That's what we want to find out about. I'll see
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: what I can do.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: Goodbye. Nick? I've got to leave.
• 28:09
  Speaker 16: Nick, please, don't go away like this.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: I've got to.
• 28:11
  Speaker 16: I don't want anything to happen, Nick.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Look, you've got to trust me.
• 28:14
  Speaker 16: Well, then tell me where you're going.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: I can't. Look, I don't want you to know.
• 28:18
  Speaker 16: I thought you wanted me. I thought when you kissed me.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Look, you thought right. I want you and I want
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: the kids. But you've got to trust me, Daddy. I'm
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: on a job and I might not see you.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: For a while. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Stop looking at
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: me like that. Look at me the way you did upstairs.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I'll need that look. Oh, Nick. Atta girl. I'll see
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: you as soon as I can, Nettie.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: I still can't figure out how you spotted me over there.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: At the fights, Tommy. I'm Tommy Udo. I got eyes
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: in the back of my head. I'm a big man. Hey, Squirt,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Champagne would celebrate. Yes, Mr.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: Udo.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: Udo.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: How do you like that, huh? That's class, huh? Would
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: you like to dance, Mr.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Bianco?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: No, he wouldn't like to dance. Just sit, Buster, and
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: keep your mouth shut.
• 29:17
  Speaker 16: Haven't I met you somewhere before, Mr. Bianco?
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I said don't stick your nose in.
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: We're talking.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: With pants.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Champagne, Mr.
• 29:25
  Speaker 13: Udo.
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: That ain't gonna be enough. Bring some more. Lots of bottles.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Don't you worry, big man. You'll be jumping in a
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: couple hours. It's always hard when you're busking out. Yeah,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: get a load of that music, huh? Sounds great, huh?
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: Right upstairs.
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Right upstairs, right upstairs.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Always come here when I get sprung. What a big
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: man that early house is. Remember what I told you, Nick?
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Take your rap and leave it to Early. Always gets
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: you out. Oh, that music, that music, that music. Come on, Jack.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Send it, Jack. Send it, Jack.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Beat it up, beat it up, beat it up.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: What's coming up, Nick?
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: What's on the line?
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: Well, I haven't figured it out yet, Tommy. I've got
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: to have some fun first. You know, I'm three years behind.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: That's talking, that's talking. You heard about me, didn't you?
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: No.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: In all the papers. Picked me up for a murder rap.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: It was in all the papers, yeah? Yeah, sure, ask her. Hey, Buster.
• 30:25
  Speaker 16: Sure, with this picture, the one I don't like.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: What do you mean you don't like? What's the matter
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: with it?
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: I like the one we took together. I don't like
• 30:31
  Speaker 16: it when they show you with a number on.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, who notices that? A lot of squids. Listen, Nick
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: and me, we're going to be busy. Go home. Wait
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: a minute.
• 30:40
  Speaker 16: Who are you talking to?
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Get out. I'm with a pal, see? We don't want
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: no old ladies around. You're not calling me an old lady.
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: Get out.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: You want something?
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: No, I.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: No, I... Go home and stay there, you hear? Okay, I...
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I'll go.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Home.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Dames are no good if you want to have some fun.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Come on, pal, drink up here. Drink up, drink up,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: drink up. They, uh, let you go, huh, Tommy? Oh,
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the bulls, yeah. Sure, sure. There was a squirt says
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: he seen me bending over Larry Young right after he
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: got plugged. Then he says he ain't so sure it
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: was me he seen.
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: Larry Young, he used to own a big cafe, didn't he?
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: A squirt pushing the wrong guys around. He got it good, Nick.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Him and his college ring. College ring? A ring, a ring,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: a ring. What you wear on your finger with a
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: couple of plugs. This joint's dead, it's sour. Let's go
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: someplace where they got some interest. What do you say, pal?
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I'm still three years behind, Tommy.
• 31:49
  Speaker 9: That's it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Stick to me, big man. You catch up. Come on,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: we shake this dumb joint. We go uptown.
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: I met Tommy Udo, like you said, Mr. D'Angelo, at
• 32:05
  Speaker 8: the fight. When they were over, we went to a cafe.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: What cafe? Where? Stassi's, Club 66. After the girl left,
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Udo started to talk. He said he'd done the Larry
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Young killing.
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: Alone?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: That's right, Mr. Shelby. He didn't know the guy that
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: hired him. He never saw him before. Did he describe him? No,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I couldn't push that. So you got nothing.
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: Go on, Nick.
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: Well, there were two things. He copped a ring off
• 32:29
  Speaker 8: of Larry Young, a gold ring from some college. His girl, Buster,
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: has got it. But she never wears it.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: It's not worth anything except as sort of a souvenir.
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: Then there's the guy that saw the shooting. A fellow
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: Udo called Sammy. Sort of a panhandler. Udo said that
• 32:47
  Speaker 8: Sammy saw the shooting and beat it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Sammy who? I don't know his last name. Well, that
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: does it. All we've got to do is find Sammy,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: produce the ring, and we've got a case. Congratulations, Nick.
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: You had quite a time, didn't you?
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't want to go through that again. I don't think
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: you'll have to. That's all? That's all. You know, you
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: might find out about Sammy by asking some of Larry
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Young's friends. Maybe we'll do that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: Well.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: So long, Mr. D'Angelo. Oh, Nick, wait. Everything all right?
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be all right. You're going to get married, huh?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: That nutty girl? Yeah. We're getting the kids out of
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the orphan home the first thing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: That's fine, Nick.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: That's fine. Oh, what about a job? I'll get a job. Well,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: maybe I can help you.
• 33:28
  Speaker 9: Here's an address.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: I wrote it all down for you. It's not much
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: of a job. Brickyard. But do your work there and
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: there won't be any questions. You think you can take
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: a brickyard? After the pen? What do you think? I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: think maybe everything's going to be okay.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Nick, that girl, does she know that I'm a squealer?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she knows. I had to tell her. Yeah.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: Good luck, Nick.
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: You know, Nettie, there may be worse jobs than in
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: a brickyard, but there ain't any dirtier.
• 34:06
  Speaker 16: It must be awful.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not really awful. Hey, give me a towel. Here.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Kids still roller skating? Yeah, they met me down at
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: the corner. How they been today?
• 34:17
  Speaker 16: Wonderful.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: As always. Anything wrong, Nettie?
• 34:19
  Speaker 16: Oh, no, darling. Except it worries me sometimes.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: What worries you?
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: You.
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: You?
• 34:26
  Speaker 16: Working in that brickyard all day, coming home every night
• 34:29
  Speaker 16: to just nothing.
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's right.
• 34:32
  Speaker 16: No excitement or anything?
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Every day, just like every other day.
• 34:36
  Speaker 16: Nick, please, don't make me worry too much.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: But that's what I need, someone to worry about me
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: all the time. Don't you ever let me get away
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: for one minute, honey. Or maybe I'll start busting into
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: jewelry stores with a rod.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: In my hand. Is that what you think?
• 34:48
  Speaker 16: Oh, no, Nick, you wouldn't.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe I wouldn't, but you'd better hang on.
• 34:51
  Speaker 16: Oh, I will. I'm mad about you, Nick. You're all
• 34:56
  Speaker 16: I think of. I've loved you ever since I was
• 34:59
  Speaker 16: a kid. And I feel the same way now as
• 35:02
  Speaker 16: I did then. Every time you kiss me, I... Ah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 16: that's pretty silly talk for an old married woman.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: No, it ain't.
• 35:09
  Speaker 16: Well, get out of the kitchen.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I gotta make dinner. I'll watch you.
• 35:12
  Speaker 16: You go get the kids.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: They.
• 35:14
  Speaker 16: Oh, I forgot. There's a telephone call for you.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Who? Mr.
• 35:19
  Speaker 16: D'Angelo.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: What did he want?
• 35:23
  Speaker 16: He wants to see you Saturday afternoon.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Did he say what for?
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: No.
• 35:27
  Speaker 16: Couldn't have been anything wrong, though. He was very nice.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: I haven't heard from D'Angelo in weeks. Something's cooking, Eddie.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: Something's gonna happen.
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: Well, that's the situation, Nick.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: I grabbed you two a few days ago. It goes
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: to trial on Monday. I've arranged for you to get
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: off from work.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: You said you had a sure case against you two. Well,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't go to trial otherwise.
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: Then what do you need me for? I need your evidence, Nick.
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: I'm building my case that way. Evidence from a stoolie?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: A squealer? That's not going to help.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: We've got that ring. We've got Sammy. And they'll verify
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: everything you say when we introduce them.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Look, I gotta go on the witness stand, huh?
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: What if I don't? You haven't any choice, Nick. You
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: mean if I don't, the DA will kill my parole?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: What would you expect? Look, I've got kids. I've got
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a home up Nyack.
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: I don't care about myself, but why do you have
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: to take it out on them just because.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I was a mug once? Will you listen to me?
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Go ahead.
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: It makes no difference. I've got no other way out.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: You're talking like a fool. At your job in your town,
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: you're known as Nick Cavallo. Your kids go to school
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: under that name. Who's going to connect you with Nick
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: Bianco and how?
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: My pictures in the newspaper. We'll see that no pictures
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: are taken. That'll help. Well, what's the matter then?
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: Well, I.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Nothing.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: I was just thinking of Yudo. When Yudo finds out
• 36:46
  Speaker 8: that I... Look, I know it's going to be pretty tough.
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: It isn't going to be any fun. But remember this.
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: When it's over, you'll be through.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Clean. Yeah. That's something.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: I'll try and remember that when I'm on the witness
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: stand looking at Yudo.
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: P.A., confident of conviction in Udo murder trial.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Bianco testimony vital, blow to defense.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Udo jury's still out.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Verdict expected tonight. Hello?
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Nick?
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: D'Angelo. Nick, I, uh, I got bad news. The jury
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: just came in. Udo not guilty. Hello?
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I'm still here.
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: Even the fact that Judo had Larry Young's college ring
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: didn't help.
• 37:41
  Speaker 6: How's it get over the point that there were 400
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: rings just like it made for Young's graduating class?
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: Jury went for it.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Not guilty.
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: Judo went free as soon as the verdict was read.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: They got a tail on him, but he's pretty fast.
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: Judo might shake him, so keep your eyes open.
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: He'll be looking for me. I squealed on him. I
• 38:02
  Speaker 8: tried to send him to the chair.
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: You better come in and see me tomorrow, Nick. We
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: are ready to do everything we can to help you.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: You'll need protection.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Goodbye, D'Angelo.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Columbia Broadcasting System.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: In a moment, we'll return with a third act of
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Kiss of Death. Tonight, it's our pleasure to introduce to
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: you Miss Randy Stewart, young 20th century Fox starlet. who,
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: like so many successful screenplayers, began her career in the theaters.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: A good preparation for the screen, isn't it, Randy?
• 39:05
  Speaker 20: I think so, Mr. Keeley, and so do other Hollywood actresses.
• 39:09
  Speaker 20: June Havoc, for instance, made her first great success in
• 39:12
  Speaker 20: a New York musical.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: And now she's playing an important dramatic part in 20th
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: Century Fox's new production, Gentleman's Agreement.
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: The day I dropped in to visit my friend June
• 39:21
  Speaker 20: Havoc on the set, I was introduced to Dorothy McGuire
• 39:24
  Speaker 20: and Gregory Peck, who play the leading roles. Both stars
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: said how thrilling it was to appear in a picture
• 39:29
  Speaker 20: that dramatizes the fight against intolerance.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Without doubt, their portrayals help Gentleman's Agreement win the New
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: York Critics Award for the Outstanding Picture of 1947. June
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: Havoc proves she can handle a serious dramatic role, too.
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
• 39:45
  Speaker 20: When I watched her do a scene with Gregory Peck,
• 39:47
  Speaker 20: I was impressed again with her beauty.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 39:49
  Speaker 16: Kennedy, there's a luxe girl for you.
• 39:52
  Speaker 13: Indeed she is.
• 39:53
  Speaker 20: June told me she never realized till she came to
• 39:55
  Speaker 20: Hollywood how demanding camera close-ups can be. She was grateful
• 39:59
  Speaker 20: that she'd always given her complexion the right.
• 40:01
  Speaker 16: Kind of care.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Nine out of ten Hollywood stars have discovered those gentle
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: luxe soap facials really do the trick. They give million-dollar
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: complexions such gentle, protecting care.
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: Screen stars use their complexion soap as a bath soap, too.
• 40:16
  Speaker 20: I just love that new bath-size cake, Mr.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: Kennedy.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Miss Stewart. I'm sure women everywhere will be
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: delighted with the new bath-size luxe toilet soap. This generous
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: big cake gives you lots of the rich, creamy luxe
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: soap lather. Has the same delicate, clinging perfume. For a
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: truly luxurious beauty bath, try this new size. Look for
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: the big bath-size luxe toilet soap in the famous sampler wrapper...
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: When you go shopping tomorrow, we return you now to
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: William Keeley.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: We continue with the third act of Kiss of Death,
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: starring Victor Mature as Nick Bianco, Colleen Gray as Nettie,
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: and Richard Widmark as Udo. A few hours ago, a
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: psychopathic killer was given his freedom. And Nick Bianco knows
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: that sooner or later, Tommy Udo will find him. It's
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: late at night, and in his home some 50 miles
• 41:13
  Speaker 5: from New York, Nick enters the bedroom.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Nick.
• 41:18
  Speaker 16: Nick, where were you?
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: I just went in the kids' room. I thought I
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: heard something.
• 41:22
  Speaker 16: Are they all right?
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I know I... Listen.
• 41:26
  Speaker 16: Oh, that's just the screen door, Nick. The wind.
• 41:30
  Speaker 16: You haven't slept all night. What is it?
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: I can't go to sleep, that's all.
• 41:34
  Speaker 16: Ever since Mr. D'Angelo phoned. Nick, if something's happened, I'll
• 41:39
  Speaker 16: read about it in the papers. Maybe I can help you.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Just forget about it, will you, honey?
• 41:43
  Speaker 16: You've been listening for something. All night you've been lying
• 41:46
  Speaker 16: here listening for something.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right. You'll read about it in the papers.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can help me. They let Tommy Udo off. Oh, Nick.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: He's loose.
• 42:00
  Speaker 16: After what you did.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Listen.
• 42:04
  Speaker 16: Nick.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I can't help it. I'm jumpy. It's... The police.
• 42:08
  Speaker 16: We'll call them.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: The police can't help me. Look, honey, I gotta get up.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I gotta go downstairs.
• 42:12
  Speaker 16: Then I'll go with you, Nick. Nick doesn't like you.
• 42:14
  Speaker 16: For one thing, he doesn't know where we live.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: He'll find out.
• 42:17
  Speaker 16: Not in time to come tonight.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Nettie. I gotta talk to you. No use hiding that
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: he's gonna come sometime. You can go away. Pete Rizzo
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: went away. You remember what happened to Rizzo's mother?
• 42:34
  Speaker 16: Tommy Udo did that?
• 42:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: We can all go away together, Nick.
• 42:39
  Speaker 5: No.
• 42:40
  Speaker 16: Some other town.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: No, too many mugs know me.
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: All the heisters I've known since I was a kid,
• 42:45
  Speaker 6: they don't stay in one place. They're in every town,
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: coming and going. The minute they saw me, they'd go
• 42:50
  Speaker 6: straight to Udo.
• 42:51
  Speaker 8: Wherever we went, we'd be just like this, waiting and
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: sitting and waiting for it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 16: It won't happen. We won't let it happen.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Take it easy. Take it easy. It won't happen if
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: you will help me.
• 43:01
  Speaker 9: Anything.
• 43:02
  Speaker 16: Anything.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Then start packing, Nettie. Turn on the lights. That's a car.
• 43:07
  Speaker 10: Listen.
• 43:09
  Speaker 16: It's all right, Nick. It's just the people next door.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: Start packing. You and the kids. You take a train
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: first thing in the morning. The country. I don't know where.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Just someplace. Anywhere away from here.
• 43:28
  Speaker 16: Stand away from the tracks, children. The train will be
• 43:30
  Speaker 16: coming soon.
• 43:30
  Speaker 12: We'll be careful, Maddie.
• 43:33
  Speaker 16: Not a soul around, Nick.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: There's a guy sitting in that car.
• 43:36
  Speaker 16: He's probably waiting for the train.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to find out.
• 43:40
  Speaker 10: Nick.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: It's all right. I've got a gun. Watch the kids. Hey, buddy.
• 43:49
  Speaker 9: You calling me?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you happen to know what time the number
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: 12 gets in? Oh, I'm sorry, but I... Well, that
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: sounds like it now. Oh. Yeah, thanks.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Daddy, Daddy, the train's coming.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Be careful. Stand back.
• 44:04
  Speaker 17: You have a suitcase, Daddy.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: Nettie, remember now. No letters until I call you.
• 44:11
  Speaker 16: I'm going to wire Mr. D'Angelo and tell him where
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: we are.
• 44:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: Take care of the kids. And yourself.
• 44:18
  Speaker 16: Nothing is going to happen.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Let the kids think it's a vacation. I want them
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: to have a good time, Nettie. And I know you'll
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: always give them a good time.
• 44:25
  Speaker 17: Can we get on the train now?
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Can we get right on?
• 44:28
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Just give me one great big kiss.
• 44:31
  Speaker 17: Goodbye, Daddy.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, Daddy.
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: Now, look.
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: I want you two to be good, you hear? And
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: have fun. And always remember to mind Nettie. She's your
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: ma and do what she says.
• 44:42
  Speaker 18: We'll miss the train, Daddy.
• 44:44
  Speaker 9: Up you go.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Bye, Daddy.
• 44:46
  Speaker 10: Bye.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Bye, Daddy. Better get on, Nettie.
• 44:49
  Speaker 10: Goodbye, darling. Goodbye, love.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: All day long. All night long. Walking up and down.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Jumping at every sound I hear. But I got a gun.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: You don't have to be scared with a gun in
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: your hand. Six shells. I ought to have more. No,
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: six ain't enough. Six hundred wouldn't matter. Cornered. Cornered in
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: my own house. Why don't he come and get over
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: with us? I'll go nuts if he don't.
• 45:57
  Speaker 9: The car. I can see him.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Get away from the window, sucker. I'm walking up the sidewalk. Okay.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Let him come. I feel good. I feel better than
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: I've felt ever since.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Nick! Mr. D'Angelo. Come in. Shelby, you and Lawson wait
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: in the car. Better give me that gun, Nick.
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Why didn't you come to my office today like I
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: told you? I had things to do. Sent your family
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: to the country. Oh, so that was your guy in
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: that car at the station.
• 46:41
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: Nick, a man lost you too early tonight. I came
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: as soon as I heard. Sorry, but I've got to
• 46:48
  Speaker 6: take you in.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: For what? For protection. I'll protect myself. It's him or
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: me now. I can't connive with murder, Nick. Yours or his. Look,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: if it's me that gets him, it'll be self-defense. You're wrong.
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: We're having a thing on Udo now. He was acquitted.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: If you kill him, the jury will call it murder.
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: Use your head, Nick, and you'll be safe. My wife
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: and kids won't be safe.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: What makes you think he'd go after them? Rizzo's mother.
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: We can take care of your family, too. Yeah, you
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: mean lock us all up for the rest of our lives?
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: Only until Udo makes his next mistake. Until he knocks
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: off somebody else. Until he does anything. He's a three-time loser.
• 47:18
  Speaker 6: All we've got to do is catch him with a
• 47:19
  Speaker 6: gun on him, then we can send him up for life.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: And suppose he don't make a mistake. He didn't the
• 47:22
  Speaker 6: last time. You made the mistake. You had the perfect case,
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: and he beat you on it. You couldn't even keep
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: a tail on him. He's nuts, and he's smarter than
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: you are. Sooner or later, he'll trip himself up. You've
• 47:32
  Speaker 6: got to trust me a little. I'm through trusting you,
• 47:34
  Speaker 6: the police, or anybody but me. There's only one way
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: to get you to, and that's my way. I'm sorry, Nick,
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: but you're under arrest. This gun, violation of parole.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: Well... I guess that's that, then. That's better. It won't
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: appear on your record, Nick. You came to us for
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: protection and we.
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to do that, Mr. D'Angelo. I really
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: didn't want to hit you, but that's the way it
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: had to be. I'm finding you, though, myself.
• 48:07
  Speaker 10: I'm finding you, though, myself.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I don't think we got any tables tonight, Mr. Bianco.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: I'm not looking for a table. Does Tommy Udo here? No. Thanks.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: I'll see you again.
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: Take a tip, Bianco.
• 48:23
  Speaker 9: Don't ever.
• 48:34
  Speaker 13: What do you want?
• 48:35
  Speaker 9: Come on, step aside.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: I got a date here with Tommy Udo. Udo ain't here. Okay,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: I'll wait for him. Udo ain't here. Now go.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 48:51
  Speaker 9: D'Angelo?
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Nick, where are you? We've got a general alarm out
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: for you. Never mind that.
• 48:55
  Speaker 9: I'm in town. I've been looking for Udo and I've
• 48:57
  Speaker 9: found him.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Where is he?
• 48:58
  Speaker 9: I told you you were going to play this my way.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: Udo's my job, Nick. You keep out of this. Take
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: it easy.
• 49:03
  Speaker 9: Although the only reason I'm calling is that I may
• 49:06
  Speaker 9: need some help.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: I want you to go to the 37th Precinct Police Station.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Bring some men along.
• 49:13
  Speaker 8: If my plan doesn't work, I'll be calling you there.
• 49:16
  Speaker 10: How long will it take.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: You to get uptown? About 20 minutes.
• 49:19
  Speaker 9: But Nick, listen to me.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: Look, I'll give you a half hour. When you get
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: to the police station, just wait for my call.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, you.
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: I said okay if you want to use the telephone,
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: but you're too late to eat.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: We close at 12. You see, there's nobody here. I'm
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: looking for Tommy Udo. He's not here.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: I saw him come in a few minutes ago. You know,
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: and a couple of others. They're in that room back there.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: Just tell him that Nick Bianco wants.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: To see him. Where's the big man? My pal. Hello, Tommy. Tommy,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: I got to talk to you.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, talk.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: I'm listening. I like to talk to you, not these characters.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Are you coming straight up? Who asked you anything? My
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: pal wants to talk to me. Go on, beat it,
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: both of you.
• 50:17
  Speaker 14: Wait over here, Tommy.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, pal, what's on your mind? I've got to square
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: myself with you, Tommy. There's nothing to square. You're my pal.
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: You're smart, too. I didn't know how smart till I
• 50:35
  Speaker 12: saw you in court. You fooled me, Nick. And that
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: takes a big man.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a big man.
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: Okay, play it straight, Tommy. I squeal on you. You
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: got a right to be sore. Now, what are you
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: going to do about it?
• 50:49
  Speaker 12: I ain't going to do nothing. You did nothing to me.
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: They let me off, didn't they? We're going right on
• 50:55
  Speaker 12: being pals, you and me. We're going to have some
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: fun together.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Lots of fun. You got a wife and kids, ain't you, pal? Yeah.
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: They're going to have some fun, too. I'm going to
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: enjoy meeting your family. Lay off of them, Tommy.
• 51:17
  Speaker 16: Why, huh?
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: Kids like to have fun. You and me and your
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: wife and your kids. From now on, lots of fun.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. Lay off of them.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: Is that all you've got to say to me? I
• 51:33
  Speaker 6: thought you'd listen to reason. But if it's trouble you're
• 51:36
  Speaker 6: looking for, you're going to get it. Leave me and
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: my family alone, or maybe I ain't through singing.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Whatever, pal. I'm clean. They can't try me twice on
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: the same record.
• 51:45
  Speaker 19: No, no.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: Not only are they young killing, maybe I know some
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: other tunes. When we were together, you told me a
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: lot of things.
• 51:51
  Speaker 8: You got your eyes full of smoke, and you talk
• 51:53
  Speaker 8: plenty just like the squirt that you are.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: You talked your fool head off, and I ain't forgetting
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: any of it. You saw, huh, pal?
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: You gave me enough to burn you a hundred times over.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: If I can get the other witnesses to back me up.
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: You even gave me a pretty good idea where to
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: look for those other witnesses. Take your hand out of
• 52:09
  Speaker 8: your pocket. You're dumb, but you're not that dumb. You'd
• 52:14
  Speaker 8: get life if they found a gun on you. Now
• 52:17
  Speaker 8: remember this. Touch my family, and you will hear singing
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: like you've never heard before.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: Now beat it. Pedal your papers. Go on, blow!
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: Luigi.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, Mr.
• 52:41
  Speaker 13: Yudel.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: This is my pal, Mr. Bianco. He's a big man,
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: biggest man in town. I want to show him what
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: I think of him. I want you to give him
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: your deluxe short dinner.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: But, Mr.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yudel, the kitchen is closed. Then open it, you squirt! Yes, Mr. Yudel.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Nothing's too good for my pal. Your best short dinner
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: and a bottle of that good wine. Yes, right away, Mr.
• 53:04
  Speaker 19: Yudel.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: Enjoy yourself, big man. Enjoy your dinner. Everything's on me.
• 53:26
  Speaker 9: Yes, Nick, this is D'Angelo.
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: I just talked to Tommy Udo. I tried to scare
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: him off, but it didn't work. There's only one thing
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: for me to do now. I'm going to give him
• 53:34
  Speaker 8: to you just the way you want him, with a
• 53:36
  Speaker 8: gun in his hand.
• 53:37
  Speaker 9: Nick, for the love of heaven, where are you? We'll
• 53:39
  Speaker 9: come and get you.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: I'm setting him up for you, Mr. D'Angelo.
• 53:42
  Speaker 6: He's waiting for me outside this place in a black sedan.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: I've needled him to the point where he's got to
• 53:47
  Speaker 6: get me. It'll take you two minutes to get here.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: In exactly two minutes, I'm walking out to that black sedan.
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: I'm having this call traced, Nick. You might as well
• 53:55
  Speaker 9: tell me where you are.
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you. Udo will shoot to kill. Maybe he does,
• 54:01
  Speaker 8: maybe he doesn't. Come in from both ends of the street.
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Forget the sirens or he'll throw his gun away.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Now get it. The name of the place is Luigi's.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: It's on 125th Street, just around the corner from where
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 54:13
  Speaker 9: Luigi's. Okay, Nick.
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Then come on. You've got exactly two minutes. Don't miss. Luigi. Yes,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: your dinner. We fixed it now. Eat it yourself. Something
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: wrong with me? Here.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: Gun?
• 54:27
  Speaker 12: No, no.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: Why are you giving me a gun? Take it.
• 54:31
  Speaker 8: I won't need a gun anymore. Keep it as a souvenir.
• 54:36
  Speaker 8: And in case anybody asks you, remember I gave it
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: to you. What's the matter, big man? You turned yellow?
• 54:57
  Speaker 8: You used to do your own shooting.
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: Start the car.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Give me that gun. All right, pal, start running. Why? Why,
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: he says.
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: Why, he says.
• 55:07
  Speaker 10: Yes, quite.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Come here, shall we?
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Is Nick all right? Is he dead? No.
• 55:32
  Speaker 9: Get an ambulance.
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 55:35
  Speaker 9: Nick.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: Nick. Did you get him?
• 55:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: And alive. Thanks, Nick. I'm glad you got here, Miss Bianco.
• 55:55
  Speaker 16: I came as quickly as I could. Nick, where is he?
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: In the operating room.
• 56:02
  Speaker 16: Is Nick.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: He may die.
• 56:05
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: The doctor... Well, they say he has a 50-50 chance.
• 56:12
  Speaker 16: Nick would settle for that.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I... I think he would.
• 56:19
  Speaker 16: Sometimes out of the worst comes the best. You got
• 56:22
  Speaker 16: what you wanted, Mr. D'Angelo. Nick got what he wanted.
• 56:28
  Speaker 16: And I got all I ever wanted. I got Nick.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: So ends an exciting drama brought to life by brilliant acting.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: And I'm sure that all of us are eager to
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: hear again from tonight's three stars, who return to the
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: footlights and answer to your curtain call. Victor Mature, Colleen Gray,
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: and Richard Widmark. I'm sure our audience will long feel
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: grateful to you for tonight's performance.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: Well, Mr.
• 57:08
  Speaker 8: Keeley, tonight's show was certainly a pleasant contrast to what
• 57:12
  Speaker 8: we went through when we made the picture.
• 57:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I can imagine it was pretty rugged. Shooting scenes
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: in places like the New York Tombs and Sing Sing.
• 57:19
  Speaker 16: It's the first time I was ever put behind bars
• 57:22
  Speaker 16: for acting.
• 57:22
  Speaker 12: No, you couldn't even send out for a sandwich without
• 57:25
  Speaker 12: getting the warden's permission.
• 57:27
  Speaker 8: Well, I imagine you and Dick Widmark have been going
• 57:30
  Speaker 8: through a pretty tough schedule on your new picture, Bill.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: A street with no name.
• 57:33
  Speaker 5: Yes, for nearly three weeks now, we've been filming scenes
• 57:36
  Speaker 5: from seven at night till five in the morning. In fact,
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: we're off for a downtown location as soon as we
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: leave this stage.
• 57:43
  Speaker 16: Duff to Donna. Sounds like a good cure for insomnia.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 57:47
  Speaker 12: In one picture, they keep me in jail all day,
• 57:49
  Speaker 12: and in the next, they keep me up all night.
• 57:52
  Speaker 5: Well, for that matter, Vic Mature went through a pretty
• 57:55
  Speaker 5: rough shooting schedule in his latest 20th Century Fox production,
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: Fury at Furnace Creek.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Bill.
• 58:01
  Speaker 6: This picture business sometimes makes me wish I were back
• 58:03
  Speaker 6: in that soft job of selling refrigerators.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: If Daryl Zanuck is listening, I'm only kidding.
• 58:10
  Speaker 16: Sometimes makes me wish I were back in Minnesota.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 58:13
  Speaker 5: That we'd never stand for, Colleen. I'd hate to deprive
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: picture goers of the chance to see that lovely Luxe complexion.
• 58:19
  Speaker 16: You're right about the Luxe complexion, Mr. Keeley. I use
• 58:22
  Speaker 16: Luxe soap faithfully. It's a wonderful beauty care.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: What's Luxe presenting next week, Mr. Keeley?
• 58:27
  Speaker 5: Next Monday night, we have the kind of play that
• 58:29
  Speaker 5: Luxe is always proud to bring its audience. One that
