My friends call me Kitty. >> What do your friends call you? >> Uh, Chris. >> Chris Cross. Chris Cross. >> Yes. The boys tease me about it, but I don't mind. Why are you looking at me? Is my face dirty? >> It's beautiful. >> I'll bet it is. Gee, what a sight. >> Oh, thank you, sir. Cheers, Chris. >> Oh, Miss March. Uh, >> Kitty. >> Yes, Miss I mean, uh, Kitty. Well, uh, look, uh, Kitty, since I'm old enough to be your father. >> You're not so old. >> You don't think so? >> Well, you're not a boy. You're just, uh, mature. I like mature people. >> Well, what what I wanted to say was uh you shouldn't be alone in the streets so late at night. >> I was coming home from work. >> You work this late. >> Mhm. >> What do you do? >> Yes. >> You're an actress. >> Oh, you are clever. Now that you know all about me, tell me about yourself. What do you do? >> I I um Well, you see. >> No, no, don't tell me. >> You work in a bank? >> No. >> Well, let's see. Greenwich Village is full of artists. [music] I meet you in Greenwich Village. >> You must be an artist, right? >> Well, I uh Yes. Yes. I I paint. >> Of course, you're a painter. I love paintings. [music] To think I took you for a cashier. You know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue? The prices they charge. I saw one little picture that cost $50,000. They call it um uh Cesan >> Tan. Oh, he was a great French painter. I'd like to own that painting. >> You would? >> For $50,000. >> Well, you you can't put any price on masterpieces like that. They're worth uh well, whatever you can afford to pay for them. >> You know what, Chris? I bet I saw some of your pictures there and didn't know it. Next time I'll look for your name. >> Oh, no, no, no, no. Uh um I I I I don't sell my pictures. >> Well, not in New York, you mean? >> No. I uh >> I know. I bet you sell your pictures in Europe, France, or someplace like that. >> Tell I don't know much about painting. I bet you get as much for your pictures in France as those Frenchmen get right here in New York. Are you never appreciated in your own country? >> Well, that's that's one way of looking at it. But, you know, when I paint, uh, uh, I don't think of money. I I just paint for fun. >> Fun? >> Yes. I think it's the most fun I know painting. I wish I had all the time to paint. >> Don't you have time? >> Oh, no. Well, yes. You see, I uh Well, you know, business takes a lot of time. No wonder when you get all that money. >> Well, um, what what play are you acting in? >> It closed tonight. >> Which one? >> The one I was in. What time is it? >> Oh, it's only 10 2 >> only. Oh, it's time for Killy to be in bed. >> So, you won't forget me? Thank you. >> Can't I see you again? >> Oh, sure. Sometime. >> Well, if you'll give me your telephone number. >> Have you got a phone? >> Well, may I write you? >> That's the address. Good night, Chris. >> Kitty, who's Johnny? >> Why do you ask that? >> Well, I I just heard you ask the bartender. >> Oh. Oh, sure. He's just a fellow I know. He's uh Milliey's boyfriend. You know, the girl I live with. Good night, Chris. >> Good night, Kitty. >> [music] >> Christopher. Christopher. Yes, Adele. Well, well, this is a pleasure. I didn't expect to see you, Charlie, but Chris, you asked me. my wife. Well, it's uh it's good to see you anyway. Hey, that was a swell party last night, wasn't it, Charlie? Uh say what time will we go home? Uh after midnight, wasn't it? >> You know, I haven't been to bed yet. >> You haven't? >> I guess I'm not as old as I thought I was. Hey, Charlie. >> No. No. >> Oh, I got to do the dishes for Adele. You don't mind, Charlie? Do you? >> No, no, no, no. Go right ahead. Hey. Uh, did you paint this? Great Scott. No, that isn't painting. That's mud done by photographer. Who is it? >> The, uh, late departed. >> Oh, your wife's former husband. >> Detective Sergeant Higgins. Homer Higgins. >> Say, that's a real medal, isn't it? Yeah. And [clears throat] Dell got it. Your wife? >> Yeah. After he was drowned in the East River, jumped in to save a woman. Neither body was found. >> Oh, too bad. >> Yeah. Too bad. Oh, thank you. >> How long have you been married, Chris? >> 5 years. Well, uh, she, uh, didn't want to spend his insurance money, and so she rented out the spare room, only $4 a week. Well, I was trying to save money to buy paints and so I moved in. Oh, she was sweet. Thought I wouldn't belt in her mouth. And uh well, you know how these things go smoke? Oh, I guess where are your paintings, Chris? Uh, they're out in the hall. Uh, would you like to see what I did today? >> Yes, I'd like to. >> Where did you find a a flower like that? Mhm. >> You mean you see this when you look at that? Well, yes. That is I I I sort of feel it. You see, when I look at that flower, I see someone. >> Is there anything private in this house? >> I'm sorry, Adele. We better get out of here. All right. Adele people are foolish and You know that. >> Can't you get those lazy legs off that couch? Baby, >> come here. >> Can't you do any better than that? That's all you think about, lazy legs. H >> what else is there to think about? >> If you want more heat in this apartment, miss, you'll have to call a generator. >> You idiot. >> How come you're holding out on me, baby? >> Oh, stop talking about Saturday night. >> I'm not talking about Saturday night. I'm talking about this. Sounds like a school boy trying to make a date. You must be Robin the cradle. What's so funny? >> You are. He's old enough to be my father. That's the old fellow who came to my rescue Saturday night. My hero. >> No kidding. >> See, you were too tight to remember anything. If I hadn't told the cop to go in the wrong direction, he'd have picked you up. >> This the old fellow who bu >> the painter. >> He's rich and famous and very sweet, too, Johnny. He doesn't pull any rough stuff like you. Well, I had a chance to clean up in a crap game. All I needed was 50 bucks. And what did you show up with? 15. For cat's sake. >> That's all I had. Besides, you kept me waiting 2 hours in the rain. >> And then you gave me a dirty look. >> I didn't give you a dirty look. >> Listen, any girl who waits 2 hours in the rain for a guy is going to give him a dirty look. Trouble with you, baby, is you have no imagination. [snorts] >> What do you expect me to do? I expect you to use your brains. But for cat's sake, this chump is crazy about you. This is a setup. He's in the big money, isn't he? You said 50,000 a picture, didn't you? >> Here I am knocking my brains out trying to raise a little capital. And this is right in your lap. You don't have to call what's his name and get him easily 50. >> This bird is goofy about you. Write and date him up. >> I can't take money off an old man like that. For cat's sake, get big-hearted and smart lazy legs. Why see fellas in the big dough without half my brains? But ability isn't enough. You got to have money to make money. Capital. And the boys at the Acme garage are cut me in on a half interest if I can put up the money. >> How much do they want? >> Oh, three or 4,000. >> Yikes. >> Well, for cat's sake, I'm not talking about chicken feed. Use your imagination. You get an interest in a business like that and it's a cinch to squeeze out your partners. Then you're on easy street. >> Cheers. The pipe dreams you have. >> Now, what about the letter? >> Well, I can get 50 or 100 perhaps, but I can't get the kind of money you're talking about. I wouldn't know how. >> Johnny. Johnny, where are you going? >> Well, I won't be wasting my time. >> Johnny. Johnny. I don't know why I'm so crazy about you. >> Oh, yes you do. Now, what about my proposition? You don't have to tap the old chump for much. Not at first. We'll get you a decent apartment. Someplace where I like to come and see you. Not a dope like this. Well, lazy legs. May I come into my own apartment? >> Hello, funny face. Why don't you just move in, Johnny? Then I can move out. >> You know, Melly, stop picking on my fiance. >> How do you spell that word? >> With an F, like a funny face. She pays half the rent, doesn't she? >> Well, that was a general idea, big shop, and we signed the lease. >> Well, I don't mind if you want this place to yourself. >> Do you, baby? >> What's he mean by that? >> Nothing. You know Johnny. >> Yeah, I know Johnny. All right. Has he bought you that engagement ring yet? You seem to worry more about it than I do. The >> new $45 model. Oh, Rogers let me have it for 18. Better [clears throat] he made a profit at that. >> I thought you were modeling girdles for the catalog. >> I have been. Oh, I ate like a dog. Of course, it's ever come back. I swear I'll quit modeling. Why don't you go back to work with that figure? If you weren't so darn lazy. Who do you think you are? My guardian angel? Not me, honey. I lost those wings a long time ago. That's what I thought. No wonder you got fired. You're so darn snippy. You never could get to work on time after you met that Johnny. It's funny what's happened to you. >> Don't you wish it could happen to you? I'm in love. Crazy in love with a man that pushes you around the way I wouldn't push a cat around. >> You leave Johnny out of this. >> With your lips and figure, you could get any man you want. >> Sure, but there's only one I want. >> Yeah, and he's making a out of you. >> You wouldn't know love if it hit you in the face. If that's where it hits you, YOU OUGHT TO KNOW. That robin stink just like I field. >> Hey, look. There's a pair of them up there. They're building their nest. Say, where'd you learn that? Oh, when I was a kid. I bet I haven't done that in 40 years. I I feel like a kid myself today. >> Sold any pictures lately? Mm-m. >> Why don't you paint my picture? >> I'd like to. >> Could I bring my easel to your apartment? >> Oh, I'm afraid my girlfriend wouldn't like that. >> How long does it take you to paint a picture? >> Well, sometimes a day, sometimes a year. [music] You can't tell. It has to grow. >> I never knew paint could grow. >> Well, feeling grows. You know, that's the important thing. Feeling. Well, now you take me. Well, nobody ever taught me how to draw. So, I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things. >> Yeah, I see. >> It's like [music] uh it's like falling in love, I guess. You know, first you see someone and then it keeps growing and you can't think of anyone else. >> That's interesting. >> Well, the way I look at things, that's all art is. Every painting, if it's [music] any good, is a love affair. I never heard anyone talk like that before. >> Oh, well, there aren't many people you can talk to this way. So, you keep it to yourself. You walk around with everything bottled up. >> Yeah, that's right. That's the way it is with me, too. I'm sort of keeping things bottled up, too, Chris. The truth is I'm in a jam. >> You, Kitty? >> Oh, you probably guessed it. I'm broke. Even this dress belongs to Millie. I can't pay my rent. >> Well, how much is it? >> Oh, forget it. I shouldn't have told you. [snorts] It'll spoil your day. >> Oh, but Kitty, >> I'll get out of it somehow. I couldn't take anything from you, Chris. >> No. Uh, yes. I I mean, >> no. No, I couldn't. I've never taken money from a man, and I'm not going to now. And I'm not going to spoil our friendship. Oh, but Kitty, uh, >> I couldn't pay you back. >> Oh, >> Chris, maybe I could pay you back. If you put up the money for a studio apartment, then I'd have a place to live and you could paint there. Don't you see? You could paint my portrait. What's the matter? Don't you want to paint my picture? >> There's something I've got to tell you, Kitty. What? >> I deceived you. I lied. >> I'm a married man, Kitty. >> Why didn't you tell me, Chris? You know I'm [music] not the kind of girl to run around with a married man, don't you? You know what you [music] said about meeting someone and how you begin to like them and then you can't think about anybody else? You should have told me you had a wife, Chris. >> Yes, but I'm not in love with her, Kitty. [music] >> Well, you married her. >> Well, I was lonely. I I I couldn't stand my loneliness. >> Poor Chris. >> Well, then you're not angry with me. >> I suppose I ought to be, but I'm not. Not with you, Chris. I'm going to let you [music] help me. >> How much do you need? >> $500. >> [music] >> I need $500. I could pay it back $10 a week. >> That's all right, Mr. Cross. You'll have to have a co-signer. >> Thank you. No >> property owner. >> Property owner. >> Just a formality. Thank you very much. >> Anytime. >> Well, why can't that old skin hog give you a raise? You don't even make enough money to buy me a radio. I have to run downstairs every night to listen to the radio. The way I have to scrimp and save and you wasting money on paints. I'd like to know what you do without me. Oh, dear Homer. If only you had a grave where I could put some flowers. Why? You couldn't even ask me to marry you. I had to put the words into your mouth. I'd have been better off a widow. The only reason I put up with you is because I'm married to you. I'm stuck. >> Yes. And I'm stuck, too. >> Have you been drinking? >> No, I haven't. >> Let me spend a breath. >> No. Then what's the matter with you? Why are you shouting at me? >> Well, you keep blaming me for not buying you a radio. >> But you think I like running downstairs every night to listen to the radio? Why don't you buy a radio? You have money. >> His insurance money. >> Well, I don't want a radio. You want it? >> I'll never touch those bonds. [music] They're for my old age. If Homer were alive, I'd have a radio. He made a good salary. He gave me a good home. >> Well, you're living in the same apartment, aren't you? >> Yes, but it didn't smell of paint. I can't sleep with the smell of paint and all your silly pictures scattering up the hall. If you don't get rid of that trash, I swear I'll give it to the junk man. Adele, >> I will. I swear I will. And the things you paint. It was bad enough when you used to copy picture postcards. >> Well, Utilio copies postcards and he's considered a great painter. >> Now I suppose you're copying Trillo, whatever his name is. They're getting crazier all the time. Oh, yes. I saw what you're doing. Girls, snakes. Next thing you'll be painting women without clothes. I never saw a woman wound without any clothes. >> I should hope not. >> The happy household hours just coming on, dear. >> I'll be right down, Dora. Mr. Cross came home late. >> Go ahead and eat and then do the dishes. This is the Happy Household Hour brought to you at this time by Happy Hour Bubble Suds. No soap gives you more happiness, more washings, and more suds per package than Happy Hour Bubble Suds. Ask your nearest groceryer for the large economyized package today. And now for the next episode of Hilda's Hope for Happiness. As you remember, we left Hilda in the laundry with Suds Hilda. Christopher. Christopher, >> what are you doing? >> I was uh I was looking for the paper. >> Hey, blind. >> Oh, well. Uh, didn't you uh didn't you like the radio? >> It went off right in the middle of a program. I wouldn't have such a radio. >> Hey, uh, did you read this? >> Read what? >> Uh, this murder in Queens. A man killed his wife with a window weight, put a body in the trunk, and shipped it to California. It says he had >> I've read the paper, thank you. >> He didn't get away with it, did he? He'll go to the chair as he should. >> Yeah. Man hasn't got a chance with these New York detectives. Can't you put that paper down and do the dishes? >> Adele, you didn't mean what you said about giving my pendings away to the junk man. >> You'll find out. Well, uh, you won't have to. A friend of mine is taking an apartment in Granny's village. I'll move everything there. >> Well, if he's fool enough to let you do it. Go ahead. The sooner the better. >> Yes. >> Top floor. You'll get plenty of light, lots of privacy. Uh, you've heard of Tony Rivera, the illustrator. He had this apartment on a three-year lease. Couldn't work anywhere else. Uh, this was his studio. The sketches on the wall are riveras. He'd do that with his models sometimes when he was working on a magazine cover. Some people pay a lot of money for those. Are you an artist, Miss March? >> Uh-huh. Where's the bedroom? >> This way. What's the rent, Mr. Jones? >> 150. Oh, there are some things that Rivera left here stored in the basement. There you go with the apartment if you care to use them. Here you are. Bedroom. >> I don't like the wallpaper. >> Will they change the paper? >> I guess so. On a year's lease. >> I'll pick it out myself. Well, Don't break the bank. >> Hello, lazy ladies. >> I thought I heard the doorbell. I didn't hear anything. >> Say, is this all you've got? >> I'm lucky I have that left the way you were throwing it around last night. >> You even bought me a book, honey. >> You're supposed to be an actress, aren't you? >> Shakespeare, for Pete's sake. Say, that's all I have left. >> You know where to get more, don't you? Lazy legs >> told me he hadn't sold any pictures for a long time. And I'm in hawk for all this. Look, Kitty, I need at least $1,000. >> Ouch. >> Well, you got him softened up. Now, push him around a bit. >> He seems to get scared when I talk about money. >> Listen, baby. You got him right where you want him. He's on the hook and can't get off. He can walk out, can't he? >> He's got a wife, hasn't he? Just drop a hint that his wife might find out about this apartment. He'll shell out fast. >> That's blackmail. >> It's only blackmail, baby, when you're dumb enough to get caught. >> Is that him? >> Told you I heard the doorbell. >> For cat's sake, get rid of him. Why don't you answer doorbells? Thought you were mad at me. Peace offering. Scotch. >> Thanks, honey. I didn't think you were out. It's only 10 12. I rang and rang downstairs and I found the door was open. Well, well, well. You're doing all right for a working girl. >> Don't start that again. >> Don't tell me he's under the sofa, too. >> No. Bright eyes. You can come out. Johnny, >> all you have to do is call. Funny face. >> Oh, you must have made a killing in Wall Street, Mr. Prince? >> Could be. Last time I saw Johnny, he was talking about going to Hollywood. I might try it yet. Well, I read in a movie magazine about a fellow who landed in Hollywood stone broke and cleaned up a million. No experience either. All he had was looks and he worked in a drugstore. >> If he worked, Johnny, he didn't look like you. Oh, >> you two stopped fighting. >> I'm not fighting, baby. She just doesn't know my speed. Why are movie actors getting five 10,000 a week for what? For acting tough. For pushing girls in the face. What do they do I can't do? >> You're so clever. Why don't you do it? >> I might, funny face. I might. >> Chris, >> I brought over some of my things, Kitty. I'll bring some more tomorrow. A rest on Saturday. >> Oh. Uh, you have company? >> Just Millie and John. Eh, >> sure. You know Milliey's boyfriend. Come on. I want you to meet them. Millie, this is a friend of mine, Mr. Cross. Miss Ray, >> how do you do, Miss Ray? >> Pleased to meet you, Mr. Cross. And uh Johnny Prince. >> Glad to know you, Mr. Cross. >> How do you do? Seems to me I've seen you before somewhere. >> Could be. Could be. Mr. Cross. >> Yes. I uh I just don't seem to remember. Maybe I'm mistaken. >> Could be. Well, aren't you run along, kid? >> I'll go with you, sweetheart. >> Oh, don't bother, Johnny. >> I wouldn't think of letting you go alone, darling. You might get run over by a street car. [clears throat] >> Goodbye, Mr. Cross. Nice to see you. >> Thanks for the scotch, Millie. That's okay. Bye. >> I'm kidding. So long, Johnny. >> What's the matter, Chris? >> I I don't think I'd like that young man she's in love with. >> Oh, Johnny's all right. >> Oh, I know he is, or he wouldn't be a friend, but uh there's something about him that >> she's crazy about him. Well, >> uh would you uh would you like to see my pictures? >> Not yet. Come sit down, Chris. You happy? >> For the first time in my life. >> Very happy. >> I think of you all the time. All I want is to see you be near you. I know I haven't any right to ask you this, but have you ever Well, there must have been other men who >> just one, Chris. Did you still see him? >> I've forgotten him. >> Look, Kitty, if I were single, if I had no wife. >> But you have a wife. >> Yes, I know. But if she'd uh Well, if something would happen that would make me free, would you marry me? >> Oh, let's not talk about it now, dear. What I'm worried about is getting a job. Living like this, it's expensive. I I don't like to ask you for anything more because Well, you say you haven't sold any pictures lately. >> Yes, but don't you have enough money? >> Oh, you have no idea what the problem money is for an actress, Chris. Talent doesn't count in the theater. Everything is pull contacts, knowing the right people. You have to get an agent. They charge plenty. Wear smart clothes. Be attractive. >> Oh, but Kitty, you're beautiful. >> A Chris, your face doesn't mean a thing. It's clothes, perfumes, making the right impression. My actress needs $1,000 just to get a decent wardrobe. >> $1,000 >> at least. Maybe I can borrow it from Millie or her boyfriend Johnny. He's got plenty of money. >> Oh, no. No. Uh, no, Kitty. Uh, not not from Johnny. >> Why not? >> Well, I I I'll get you the money uh some way. >> Chris, you're a darling. I really believe you're in love with me. >> I am, Kitty. I am. >> Chris, you're you're a caveman. I I like you to like me, but Well, there's a limit. >> Yes, I know. >> Well, I've got to go. I'm supposed to be back. I'll come here tomorrow noon, Kitty. >> I'll be waiting for you. I'm sorry you have to go. Bye-bye, dear. >> Don't forget the money. >> I'll get it. >> Bye-bye, Chris. >> Goodbye. I don't get it. The poor sack must be a hop seeing snakes on the el. Imagine anyone paying money for this stuff. >> Say, are you sure he's not a phony? >> He's too dumb to be a phony. >> You're right there. And how would he get all the money? Why, if he had to work for a living, he couldn't make $50 a week. You just don't owe art. >> Maybe not. But I'm going to find out about it. >> I kind of like this one. >> But where would you find flowers like that? >> I wonder if I couldn't sell these. >> And what do I do when he asks where they are? >> Say you put them in storage. You know, you got to protect them. You can't leave valuable paintings lying around where somebody can pick them up. You'd get in trouble. Any gallery know his work. >> He tried to kiss me today. And don't think I liked it. >> Oh, you've been kissed before. Say, they're not even signed. >> Oh, that doesn't matter. They'd know him. >> Not where I take him, baby. >> Johnny, I can't stand to have anybody touch me but you. >> I hate him when he looks at me like that. If he were mean or vicious or if he bore me out or something, I'd like him better. You don't love me or you'd understand what I mean. >> No. >> No. >> No. Well, maybe >> working late tonight, Mr. Cross? >> I'm a bathroom. You can let me out in a minute. >> Yes, sir. We just caught you in time. >> [music] >> Catch this for me, will you, Chris? [music] It's personal. >> Yes. Yes. Yes, of course. JJ. Good night, GJ. >> Thank you, Chris. Good night. >> Good night, GJ. >> Hello, mate. What you got? >> The fell that painted those gets 50 grand for a single picture. >> Hey, what's the matter with you, Nick? >> Where'd you pick them up? Over in Washington Square. The village long hairs are pedalling junk like that for the price of the canvas. These weren't painted by any village long hair. >> That's my pawn shop, isn't it? And that snake is strictly from the Bronx. >> This fellow lives in Brooklyn. He's famous. >> Yeah. What's his name? >> Well, I look, Nick, I brought your stuff before and you never asked for any name on it. >> That was jewelry. Bring me some more of that and we can do business. Johnny, take this junk back to Washington Square where you got it. I can see you've got an eye for art. That's one of my best. >> Take a look at these. >> Oh, I didn't know you were a painter. >> I'm not. >> Are they any good? >> Well, they've got something. A certain peculiar something, but no perspective. Is that important? >> I should say it is. Look at my painting. Where did you buy them? >> I didn't buy them. I want to sell them. >> Well, you [music] want me to sell them a commission? >> How much do you think they're worth? >> I always start everything at 25. Then you know it's a hard business selling pictures. Yeah, people don't buy art nowadays. No appreciation, no taste, no [music] perception, and no perspective. >> Let me have your name and address. I'll come back later. So long. Hello, John. >> Hi, Tanny. >> Where'd you get that? >> Off. Nicknick. >> What about my ring? >> You know how much a good diamond costs? >> I gave you $900. But you pipe down. [snorts] You've been telling me what a dope the old guy is. Maybe you're the dope. He tells you his paintings are worth a lot of money. Did you check up on his story? >> What's wrong with it? >> They're worth just 25 bucks a piece. That's what's wrong. >> You're crazy. >> If I weren't a gentleman. >> Well, don't get sore. Well, then don't tell me I'm crazy. >> I tell you, the old boys are phony. >> His money isn't phony, is it? >> He could borrow dough or have it stashed away or even steal it. >> Chris Steel Jeepers, Johnny. He's not the type. He wouldn't have nerve enough to steal. >> Well, he didn't get it from his pictures. >> May be dumb, but not about art. The day he took me to the museum, he explained how everything was done. You should have heard him. People stood around and listened. What museum? >> The Metropolitan. Yip. They've got pictures there worth a million bucks. >> Where you going? >> I'm going to make a monkey out of you. Lazy legs. >> Can I take his pictures to the museum? >> Who says I can't? You know who bought them? >> Jane Way. A Damon Jane Way. Don't you know who Mr. Jane Way is? >> Uh-uh. >> He's an art critic. The best authority in New York on modern art. He took one look and bought them both. I couldn't even give him my pictures. Not for nothing. He wants to get hold of you. Told me to telephone him. You wait here. No. No. >> [laughter] >> For cat's sake, what's so funny? >> You are smarty pants. You're the Mr. Fixer who was going to make a monkey out of poor dopey little kitty. So, you gave away two pictures for a couple of dimes and now you can't collect the dime. >> Oh, dry up. Jeepers. >> Now what? >> What am I going to tell Chris? >> He won't find out. >> The heck he won't. That Janeway is a critic. He writes for the newspaper. >> Golly, you got us in a spot. I told you not to do it. >> You're just nervous. The old guy who sold him doesn't know me from Adam. >> Say, give me that drink. I can use it. >> Chris. Uhuh. He's got a key. >> Well, go ahead. See who it is. Hurry up. Oh, I I beg your pardon, but we're looking for a man, and I'm afraid I don't know his name. >> Oh, and I'm afraid I can't help you. >> I'm sorry. Oh, look there. These are his Oh, there he is. Why did you run away from me like that? Huh? Here. $50 less 20%. I don't know what you're talking about. >> But the pictures you brought me. >> Perhaps we better introduce ourselves. My name is Jane Way. This is Mr. Delo. How do you do? >> What is it you want? >> We'd like to find out who painted the pictures. >> You don't know? >> Of course they don't know. That's what we're here for. >> Look, if you're a friend of the painter, you will put Mr. Delo in touch with him. >> Why'd you buy those pictures if you don't know who painted them? >> Because they're good. Who painted them? >> No, Johnny. No. >> Oh, don't be so modest, Miss March. Now, you see, you got me in bed. She made me promise not to tell. That's why I made out like I didn't know. [laughter] She's funny about her painting. Never lets anyone see it. Doesn't even put her name on her pictures. >> And so I observed. You're an extraordinary artist, Miss Martin. >> Oh, no. See, she can't stare for anybody to talk about her. She got the idea pictures weren't any good. That's why I took those two to you to give her confidence. I knew they were good. Now I'll take that money. I never would have guessed it was a woman. >> Nor I. Your work is very strong, Miss Mark. >> May we see some more of it? >> Sure. Go ahead. Look in the studio. >> Thank you. >> You're crazy to try a thing like this. >> God's sake. I thought they were cops. I know what I'm doing. They don't know from nothing. >> I can't fool that critic. >> You always wanted to be an actress. Now's your chance. You've been around the old boy long enough to pick up his lingo, feed Janeway some of that. I'll get him in here along with you. >> No, no, wait. >> How long has she been painting? >> Ever since she was a kid. Mr. Janeway >> never went to art school, did she? >> No, she just picked it up. I guess I'm the only one who's been encouraging her, kind of helping her along as a friend, you know. Just a friend. >> Oh. Uh, I didn't get your name. Prince. See, Mr. Jane, she's uh kind of upset. Maybe you're doing talk to her. You plan to. >> Well, Mr. Delo, >> I wonder if Miss March would let me have all of these. >> Well, that depends. Um, what's in it for prices will have to be built up, Mr. Prince? But I can usually tell whether a canvas has been painted by a man or woman, but you fooled me completely, Miss March. Your work is not only original, it has a masculine force. How long does it take you to paint a picture? Sometimes a day, sometimes a year. You can't tell. It has to grow. [music] Of course, >> it's a matter of feeling. You know how how feeling grows. It's like like falling in love. I guess >> that's a very good description. >> The way I look at it, every painting, if it's any good, is a love affair. May I quote that? >> Oh, no, no, no. Please don't write about me. >> I can see you're going to be a very hard case. Why don't you have confidence in your work? >> Because I can't draw. >> You do. All right. >> I just put a line around what I feel when I look at things. >> You're a very stimulating person to talk to. >> How you two getting along? >> I think I'm breaking the ice. >> Kitty, Mr. Delo wants to handle all your work exclusively. Is it all right? As a friend, I'd advise it. >> Could you come to the galleries tomorrow? >> What time? >> Anytime that's convenient. How about 12:00 and then lunch afterward with me? >> Well, I She'll be there. >> I'm glad you're around, Mr. Prince, to make up her mind for us. [laughter] >> I can see you're tired, Miss March. This has been enough for one evening. We'd better go until tomorrow. >> Thanks, Mr. Janeway. So long. >> Good evening. >> Night, Mr. Delo. >> Good night. >> Good night. >> Night. >> Lazy legs. I don't know what you told Jane Way, but you got them eaten right out of your hand. It won't stop with lunch. >> Well, what's the difference? >> If you mean, >> oh, stop acting like a green kid. Let him talk about what he wants to talk about and he won't talk about art. >> If I had any sense, I'd walk out on you. >> You haven't got any sense. right here. Just like you'd sign a letter. Come on, Katherine March. >> Kitty, >> for cat's sake, put that one back. >> Kitty. >> Chris. Oh, Kitty, I happen to be in the N. >> Oh, hello, Mr. Cross. I just dropped in. I thought Millie was here. >> See, I hope you don't mind my looking at your picture. >> Oh, no. Uh, not at all, Mr. Prince. >> Fine work, that remarkable painting. You have a little trouble with perspective, don't you? >> Yes, that's one thing I never could master. Perspective. >> Well, I I guess I'll have to run along. So long, Mr. Gross. If Millie drops in, tell her I'll be at Tmy's place. Don't bother. I'll let myself out. >> Has he been here long? >> No. Why? >> I don't like him. >> Johnny's all right. He's a nice fellow, Chris. Really is. I don't know why you don't like him. >> Well, was he the one? >> One what? >> Well, you said there was one man. Oh, for heaven's sake. Won't you ever forget that wasn't? >> No. >> Go ahead and paint if you want to. I'm not going to stick around if you're going to torment me. Kitty. >> Oh, Kitty. >> Oh, leave me alone. I'm going out for dinner. >> Kitty, don't be angry. >> Why do you come here if you want a quarrel? I didn't ask you to come here. >> Oh, please, Kitty. >> Oh, for Pete's sake. Go and paint. >> Well, I can't I I I can't do a thing when you're angry with me. >> Do you want me to go? >> I want you to stay here and paint. >> Chris, I'm sorry, Chris, but why do you torment me about something that's over and done with? Well, because I >> Would you marry me? >> You can't. >> Well, something might happen. >> What? You better not let your wife hear you talking like that. Of course, I'd marry you if you were free, but you're not. So, let's not talk about it. Now, you go on and paint. >> Well, could I paint you? >> Well, I was going to do this myself, but uh paint me, Chris. They'll be masterpieces. Hello, Adele. I dropped over at the butcher shop like you told me to. They got a nice piece of liver. How long have you known Katherine March? Answer me. I don't know what you're talking about. >> How long have you known her? Well, >> now don't get excited. Uh, let me help you off with your coat. >> Well, you're the one that's excited. Look at your Get away with that knife. You want to cut my throat? How long have you known her? >> I don't know what you're talking about. >> Don't lie to me. You've been copying her work for years, pretending you painted those pictures out of your own head and all the time you were just copying the work of a real artist. I'll bet you're at Del Rose every day making notes. >> Where? >> You know where. Delo's Art Gallery on 57th Street. They've got a window full of paintings by Catherine March. >> You're talking crazy. >> She gets $500 for a single picture. She's a genius. No wonder I used to think sometimes there was something in your work. Now I know why. If you ever do any more painting around here, I swear I'll write that woman a letter telling her you're stealing her ideas. You're a thief. Oh, they better watch out or next thing you were stealing his money. >> Not that one, honey. Delo is asking for more pictures. Chris just finished it. Don't mess it. Jane Way says the new pictures are the best things you've done. >> Wasn't I right about Jane Way lazy legs? >> Yeah, but he gets on my nerves. I've been out to dinner with him three times this week and now he's talking about breakfast. He's getting

That look in his eye. All you got to do is keep it there. Well, it's all very well for you to say, but what about the wear and tear on my nerves? Papa will take care of Kitty. Baby's gonna have a big diamond ring and a shiny limousine and a penthouse. And Johnny, he goes with the penthouse.

[music]

Chris, how did my pictures get into Delo's window? Oh, Chris, don't be angry with me.

No, I'm not angry. I just can't understand. It's not possible.

Forgive me, darling. I needed money. They were going to take the furniture back. It was humiliating. I couldn't ask you for more. You've been so generous. I just couldn't. So, I saw some pictures to Delo.

Uhhuh. You actually sold those pictures?

Uhhuh. Oh, I know. I shouldn't have put my name on him, but Mr. Delo wanted to know who painted him. And I just couldn't give him your name. No, I can't tell him different, can I?

Funny part is it it didn't seem to make any difference. You know what the funny part is? It made a great deal of difference. If I'd brought those pictures to a man like Delo, he wouldn't have taken them. I'm a failure, Kitty.

Oh, you're a great painter, Chris. Mr. Delo said so, and so did Mr. Janeway.

They say I am.

Well, they're going to keep on saying it.

Oh, Chris.

Oh, now don't don't kitty. Not don't cry. I'm happy. Why just like a dream?

Oh, Chris is so good, so kind.

Well, what difference does it make? Whose name is on those pictures? Yours or mine? Why just like we were married? Only I take your name. Well, that gives me a little authority around here. I want to paint your picture, Kitty. How about it? Come with me. You know what we're going to call this? Self-portrait.

Heat.

[music]

Well, hello Damon.

Hello there. Hello.

Well, this is the first time I've ever agreed with you, Jane Wade. Thank you.

I find the painter even more fascinating than a painting.

What's she like? Mona without the smile. Something hidden. Sometimes it seems as if she were two people. I mentioned that in my notice. Would you care to see it?

It's gross. The man outside says he wants to see you. Who? I ain't get no name, sir, but he said he was a detective. you the detective?

Well, I used to be, Mr. Cross. Don't you recognize me? Quite a shock, huh? And don't faint, Mr. Cross. Keep your head. I'll explain everything. Well, I was in trouble at the time. I've been collecting a little extra money from the speakeasies along the waterfront. Word got around the headquarters. I was up for investigation. One night I'm down by Brooklyn Bridge trying to fix things up. Man runs in to speakeasy and says woman just jumped off the bridge. So I run out and tear off my coat, jump in the way. I thought I'm hoping I don't come up again.

You mind? Yeah. Well, there I am swimming around in the dark. I had a hold of her hat once. Next thing I know, I'm all tired out. I heard a tugboat whistle and right down on top of me comes a coal barge. So, I grab a hole and climb aboard. I look down my hand. What do you think? I got her pocketbook. That's what I grabbed a hold of when I thought it was her hat. And inside is $2,700 in folding money. Imagine anybody committing suicide with that much money. Well, the coal barge unloaded on a banana boat bomb for Honduras. Well, I went with it. But if you're not dead, then I'm not really married to Adele, am I? What's it worth to you for me to keep my mouth shut and just uh fade it away?

Yes, but but if you are Adele's husband, wait a minute. I can see you need Adele. I need money. You're a cashier. It ought to be easy for you to put your hands on a couple of thousand.

Oh, I I I couldn't do a thing like that. You're going back to her?

No, but not to do you a favor, mister. I'm clearing out for Adele's sake. I don't think you're going to get any peace of mind either. I might turn up again someday. She'd kick you out in a minute for a man like me. Uh I I I'll get you some money.

Now you're using your head. Yeah, but you you'll have to wait here. I can't get it till after we close at 6:00.

Oh, wait. Cross.

Hello, Johnny. Hello, Kitty.

Hi, Marquetti.

Hi.

Don't forget the champagne, baby.

Nice car you have, Johnny. She go fast, huh?

I'd like to see any cop try to catch me. Say I give you four pits for a bucket full of that ice.

Okay, Johnny. Can I borrow the ice pick?

You give it back, huh?

Sure. Sure.

Thank you.

Only 200.

Well, that's all I could get.

Don't you think your wife's worth more than that?

Well, look, I I want you to get all that's coming to you, Mr. Higgins. Now, what about the insurance, Molly?

Insurance?

Yeah. $2,000 on your life. Adele collected it. It's really yours, isn't it?

She keeps it right in her bedroom. Now, I I wouldn't touch a penny of it, Mr. Higgins. But if you took it, it would be perfectly legal.

But just how would I get it?

That's easy. This is the night that she always goes out to the movies. I let you in. You take the money. I let you out.

But why don't you get it?

Oh, I got to be able to say that I didn't touch it. You know, Adele, what if she don't go out and I show up? Your goose is cooked, isn't it?

Yes. But I can play it safe.

How?

Well, will you come along the street at 11:00 tonight?

Okay. Shh. Why are you whispering? How come the lights are on?

Mrs. Michaels. You remember Mrs. Michaels, don't you?

Oh, yeah.

And the neighbors. Where's the money? In there in the bottom drawer of the chest.

Okay, give me the flag.

[screaming]

Please murder on the light. All your fears are foolish and love. Johnny.

Oh, Johnny.

Lazy. Lazy.

Jeepers. I love you.

What's that? Chris. Johnny, is it Chris? Call him quick. Chris. Chris.

I got to push you over on your head.

How did I know he was coming here tonight? I don't understand it.

You don't understand anything.

Well, why get sore at it?

Well, what use are my brains if I'm tied up with a dumb cluck like you? I told you to watch your step, didn't I?

That's right. Blame it on me. Oh, why'd you keep me here tonight? I didn't want to stay.

Johnny, don't talk like that.

Well, it's the truth. I'm fed up with you.

Johnny.

That's the only thing you ever understood. I'm through with you. Jeepers. I love you, Johnny. Jeepers, I love you, Johnny. Oh Lord, have mercy upon us sinners. The way of the sinner is made plain with stones, for the end thereof is the pit of hell. Oh Lord, be merciful to me a sinner. Millie. Yeah, Kitty. You seen Johnny? Oh, I thought he'd go to Tiny's. Was he getting tight? No, just a fight. Listen, he can't live without me anymore than I can live without him. Said he was coming back here to beat me up. Gee, the way that guy shoots off his mouth. Oh, you don't have to warn me. That's just the way he talks. If you were in love, you'd understand. Oh, stop it. Johnny wouldn't kill a fly. That's love, honey.

Here he is now. And has he got a butt on? Goodbye. Hello, Johnny. Come on, Johnny. I heard you. You lied to me, Kitty. Was him, wasn't it?

Can I help it if I'm in love?

No, just an infatuation. You You couldn't love a man like that, Kitty. He's evil. He wouldn't let you alone. Isn't that right? I wanted to kill him. Well, that's wrong.

Why'd you come here?

To ask you to marry me.

What about your wife?

I haven't any wife. That's finished.

But can't say your husband turned up. I'm free. Oh, now don't cry, Kitty. I know how you feel, but that's all over now. We all make mistakes. I don't care what's happened. I I can marry you now. I I want you to be my wife. We We'll go away together, way far off, so you can forget this other man.

Don't cry, Kitty. Please don't cry.

I'm not crying, you fool. I'm laughing.

Kitty.

Oh, you idiot. How can a man be so dumb? Kitty,

I've wanted to laugh in your face ever since I first met you. You're old and ugly and I'm sick of you. Sick, sick, sick.

Kitty, for heaven's sake.

You kill Johnny. I'd like to see you TRY WHILE HE'D BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY. He's a man. You don't want to marry me? You get out of here. Get out. Get away from me. CHRIS. CHRIS, GET AWAY FROM ME. CHRIS. CHRIS. HEY. OH, you look out, Johnny. You killed somebody.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

Christ. Hold on, Chris. Wait a minute. What made you do it, Chris? When these officers called me, I I wouldn't believe it.

We were tipped off on the telephone by a man named Higgins. I checked the cash before you came in. You know how much is missing? over $1,200.

We'll take him along. You can make the complaint, Mr. Hoggarth.

Hold on, Morris. I just can't do it.

What? It's Mr. Hogarth.

I know you've done your duty, and I'm obliged to you. There's a box of cigars on the table. Take them along with you.

Okay, Mr. Hoggarth. It's up to you, Chris. It was a woman, wasn't it? I thought so. I'm not going to put you in jail, Chris. Only, of course, you're through.

Well, I didn't do anything. I'm on a I want a lawyer.

Where was he picked up? Riverside Drive. You tried to get away in the murdered girl's car.

That was my car.

This is yours, too. It's got your initials on it, but it's her blood.

His $140 was taken out of a pocketable book.

It was mine. It's a diamond ring worth5 or $600.

You guys know a lot, don't you? It cost 1,200.

Here's her personal jewelry. Not much value, but he came her out.

Well, why wouldn't I? She didn't have any more use for it, did she?

Listen, you guys. I want a lawyer. I'm a citizen. And I got my rights.

This belongs to you, too, huh? It's got your fingerprints on it.

Well, naturally, I picked it up. How did I know she was dead? I thought she was asleep at first.

Mhm.

She didn't paint those pictures. Old Cross isn't as dumb as he looks. He painted them. The accused brought me two pictures. He told me Miss March painted them. In my expert opinion, there's no doubt about it. She was a very great artist.

She told me she was an artist when she rented the studio. He was with her. I didn't like him then, and I don't like him now.

Yeah, he was mean when he was drunk. He said he was going to fix her when he left my place around 2:00 a.m.

That's when I tell him, "You look out, Johnny. You kill somebody." So, he killed her with my ice pick.

And then I heard her say, "Hello, Johnny." before she hung up. He was there. All right. What I don't understand is this talk about her being an artist. I never saw her paint.

That was one of her peculiar traits. She never let anyone see her paint. I've compared her handwriting with a signature. There's no question.

Mr. Cross paint. He only copied her work. He's of faith. He stole from me from his employer from Katherine March.

My wife. Uh I I mean my former wife is correct. I really can't paint. My copies were so bad I had to destroy them.

For cat's sake, he's lying.

Hello, Mr. Cross.

Oh, Tom Crocker, evening globe.

Oh, yes. Tom Crocker.

Joe Williams, Morning World. Conways with a legend. Fine.

Cigarette.

Well, thanks.

Going to singing?

Yeah. I don't like to cover executions, but I must say this is one I don't mind.

You sure cooked Johnny's goose, Mr. Cross, when you testified you couldn't paint.

Nobody cooked Johnny's goose except Johnny. The way he shot off his mouth.

He was a dead pigeon when he dragged the girl's name through the mud. I watched the jury.

If he kept his trap shut, he might have got off in his life.

Sure. The evidence was only circumstantial.

What do you mean? got a fair trial, didn't he?

Yeah, but there's always a doubt.

I suppose you fellas are going to say it was a miscarriage of justice that someone is getting away with murder.

Not me. There's no such thing, Mr. Cross. Nobody gets away with murder.

How's that?

Oh, don't get him started. He'll talk your ear off. That's his pet theory.

All right, go ahead and laugh all you like, but no one escapes punishment. I figure we have a little courtroom right in here. Judge, jury, and executioner.

I don't get it.

Well, murder never solves anything. How about it, fellas? You've covered lots of trials.

I'm sorry, but I have to admit you're right.

The problem just moved in here where it can never get out. Right here in solitary. So what? So you go right on punishing yourself. You can't get away with it. Never. That doesn't make any sense.

Well, you haven't seen as much of murder as I have, Mr. Cross. I'd rather have the judge give me the words than have to do it to myself.

What time that throw the switch?

11:00 I didn't do it. I tell you I DIDN'T DO IT. WON'T ANYBODY BELIEVE ME? GIVE ME A BREAK. SOMEBODY. I NEVER HAD A SQUARE DEAL IN MY LIFE. OR SOMEBODY. SOMEBODY GIVE ME A BREAK. Johnny Johnny Oh, Johnny.

Lazy legs.

Johnny darling.

I'm here, baby, baby.

Jeepers. I love you, Johnny.

Johnny Johnny lazy leg youn. Oh, Johnny. Now we're together.

Yeah.

He killed me, too.

He brought us together, Johnny. Forever.

He did.

Oh, you idiot. I'm going to make me so dumb.

No, Kitty. No.

You wanted to marry me. You You

She's mine, Chris.

Mine forever.

You You killed me, Chris. You're old and ugly and you killed me. You killed me. You killed me.

No. No, Killy. It's him. You were innocent. You were pure. That's what he killed in you. He's the murderer.

No, he's not. Not Johnny.

See, Chris, she loves me.

That's why you had to die. You're the one I killed. Marsh is mine. Chris,

you kill Johnny.

John,

I'd like to see you try or he'd break every bone in your body. He's a

Johnny.

Oh, Johnny. Selmer, I love you, Charlie. There's something wrong with me. It's all right, old man. It's all right.

Who's that Rick?
