- 2:14 I'll take that brick for you.
- 2:20 Women. Women!
- 2:43 Yes, sir, what is it? I want to talk to Mrs. Rankin. Is she expecting you, sir? No.

- 3:00 Where's Danny?
- 3:02 Yeah.
- 3:03 What's the matter? Doesn't your new husband want him around?
- 3:05 He wouldn't be happy here we entertained too much.
- 3:07 It's cool.
- 3:08 My husband can support him very much better than you can, ever could or ever will. That's fine.

- 3:18 Where is he?

- 3:29 I'm not going to ask you again.
- 3:33 You can't bully me, Jeff. I'm not afraid of you.
- 3:35 I've done nothing wrong.
- 3:37 Maybe not according to your code.
- 3:39 But it could cause quite a scandal by reopening the divorce case. You wouldn't want that, would you?
- 3:47 Call the people who've got Danny and tell them I'm coming after him.
- 3:51 Go ahead, Millie.
- 4:01 After all, I am Danny's mother.

- 11:25 I'll sing my favorite song.
- 11:30 Danny boy.
- 11:32 The pipes, the pipes are calling.
- 11:38 From glen to glen and down the mountainside.

- 13:28 Excuse us.
- 13:30 Come along, son. I think we'd better be there.
- 13:32 Good night.
- 13:33 Good night.
- 13:43 Gee, Dad, you seem great.
- 13:45 Thanks, son.
- 13:47 That's the best review I'll ever get.
- 13:50 Danny, what time you're supposed to be in bed, son?
- 13:52 We have lights out at 8 o'clock.
- 13:53 Cool.
- 13:55 You'd better be getting undressed then.
- 13:56 Yes, sir.
- 13:59 Again?
- 14:00 Yes, sir.
- 14:02 Don't I have to go to school anymore? Why shouldn't you go to school?
- 14:06 Aww.
- 14:06 I just wondered.
- 14:08 We'll find you at school tomorrow.
- 14:10 You see, I don't want anybody to say, "Well, let a thing slip just because you're living with me now."
- 14:15 You've got to help me out now and then.
- 14:16 How?
- 14:17 Well, tell me the things to do in case I forget.
- 14:19 Oh.
- 14:20 I'll try, very hard. Oh, that's good enough for me.
- 14:26 Dan?
- 14:28 Yes, huh?
- 14:32 Could I ask you something? Oh, I don't see why not.
- 14:36 Can't mom be with us too like she used to be?
- 14:44 I'm afraid not, son.
- 14:47 Why not?
- 14:51 Things like this happen to a lot of married people.
- 14:53 You see?
- 14:54 Sometimes they find out they're happier living apart.
- 14:58 Why, Dad?
- 15:00 when you know your mother's a beautiful lady.
- 15:02 She loves beautiful things, but...
- 15:05 Daddy hasn't been able to make enough money.
- 15:08 so far.
- 15:09 to be able to buy those beautiful things for us.
- 15:12 Oh, mother.
- 15:13 wasn't happy living under those conditions.
- 15:17 You see?
- 15:19 I guess we just have to do the best we can.
- 15:23 Understand, Danny?
- 15:25 I guess so.
- 15:27 It's kind of mixed up, isn't it?
- 15:30 Saw that.
- 15:32 Dad. There are tears in your eyes. No not me son I'm I'm just.
- 15:36 Just happy to see you again, that's all.
- 15:38 Me too, Dad.
- 15:42 I did.
- 15:43 Hmm?
- 15:44 Look at things trading now how won't you bet your life will
- 15:47 You run along and get undressed.
- 15:57 You know Charlie but Charlie told me to hire me when I had enough European study on my belt.
- 16:02 I've been studying plenty don't worry about a thing leave everything to me it's a sense but telling me or just like that.
- 16:13 How do you do?
- 16:20 Read it.
- 16:22 Representing Mr. Jefferson Carter.
- 16:24 to see Senor Vachali. What about?
- 16:26 What about?
- 16:27 He's hiring singers, ain't he?
- 16:28 Well, I got one of the best.
- 16:29 Go on, tell him.
- 16:30 Signor Pacelli never interviews.
- 16:32 So now, how does he get him?
- 16:33 - What is the sense for them?
- 16:35 Well, I'll give it, Charlie.
- 16:37 I sank for Senor Pacelli a number of years ago. In the meantime, I've been in Europe studying.
- 16:41 Would you be kind enough to give my name please? Carter.
- 16:44 Jeff Carter.
- 16:45 Tell him if you don't grab Mr. Carter quick, I'll take him somewhere else. I got a dozen opera companies crazy to get my man right now.
- 16:52 Amen.
- 17:01 Oh
- 17:06 And the sign of the cellar party.
- 17:08 What is it? What is it?
- 17:10 Where is the list of singers? Oh, right here, signor Pocelli, right here. Read the names quickly. - Mini Fiore. - Has been. Guilhermo. - Never was been. Armanda. - Mi, mi, mi, mi, ho flat. Pui.
- 17:22 Why? Why? No more. No more. Please.
- 17:25 Why does this happen to me? Why? It's a conspiracy. But, Sr. Pacelli. Always the same.
- 17:30 Same, all is the same. Why are there no new voices? Somewhere on this earth there must be a man whose voice is new, but do I find him? No. Does he come to me? No. Senior Fratelli, there's a man out there. Says his name is Brady. But can he sing? I don't think so. Anyway, tell me. He represents a singer. But who? A man by the name of Jeff Carter.
- 17:50 He says you heard him sing several years ago. I do not remember. If I do not remember, he is no good. If he is no good, he is no good to me. I go to the baseball game. Oh, shall I tell Mr. Grady? Tell him to tell his singer to go get a reputation. Then Fashel will send for him.
- 18:17 Charlie.
- 18:20 You sure Pacelli knows you? Oh, sure, sure, come on.
- 18:25 Well, is Mr. Procelli ready to see us?
- 18:27 And Signor Pacelli is gone for today.
- 18:29 Con?
- 18:31 I didn't see him go. Nevertheless, he's gone.
- 18:34 A new kind of show business, huh?
- 18:36 Let me tell you something, for every 10 minutes that guy keeps me waiting, it's gonna cost him just that much more to get Mr. Jefferson Carter.
- 18:43 Come on, Jeff.
- 18:47 And don't forget it.
- 18:58 Amen.
- 19:05 Oh.
- 19:11 *throwing*
- 19:16 Right.
- 19:18 It's time we're getting home.
- 19:21 Don't tell me you didn't see Pacelli today either.
- 19:24 After two weeks?
- 19:25 Why, what's the matter with that man?
- 19:27 Let you in on a secret, Mrs.
- 19:30 Pacelli hates
- 19:31 Singers.
- 19:33 I want to pay some rent.
- 19:35 How much do I owe you, sir, Father?
- 19:36 Have I asked you for it?
- 19:38 how much pressure.
- 19:41 Well...
- 19:42 Make it $10.
- 19:45 Two weeks boarding room for two ten dollars.
- 19:47 Oh, no.

- 25:03 Oh, yeah.
- 25:29 Hmm.
- 25:45 Hi, Dad. Hi, soldier.
- 25:47 What's all this?
- 25:48 Presents from Mom.
- 25:50 We've been shopping all afternoon, all over.
- 25:52 You must have quite a day. We had a great time.
- 25:56 Mom got me a new suit and...
- 25:57 some shoes and all kinds of stuff.
- 26:01 I wish Mama had known your home. You know what, Dad? Mom's got a new car. Limousine.
- 26:06 Goes like that.
- 26:07 How is your mother?
- 26:08 Oh, but the
- 26:09 same
- 26:10 You know what, Dad?
- 26:12 Mom's sitting in the chauffeur with a car to get me Saturday.

- 26:17 Just for me.
- 26:18 Saturday.
- 26:20 My birthday, did you forget Dad? Of course not son.
- 26:23 I think that's fine of your mother.
- 26:25 Only I wish you'd be there too, Dad.
- 26:28 Oh, you'll have a wonderful time and Dad will be thinking of you.
- 26:33 I think it's great son I think it's great well come on let's see what you got.
- 26:46 Hi, Charlie. Hi, Jeff. What's new? Oh, not a thing. I don't know. I've tried everything, but nothing seems to break.
- 26:53 I'm all right with tap dancers and acrobat but for you.
- 26:56 Well, I guess I'm just not the man.
- 26:58 If you can't get me a job, nobody else can, Charlie. I know that.
- 27:01 I'm glad you feel that way about it, but...
- 27:03 For once in my life, I'm just about ready to quit.
- 27:05 Well, I'm getting sort of discouraged myself.
- 27:08 Charlie.
- 27:13 I want to ask you a question that I should be able to answer myself.
- 27:17 Do you think I should let the boy go back with his mother?
- 27:20 Better put him back in military school.
- 27:23 You're gonna get mad if I say yes.
- 27:24 No.
- 27:25 Well then, Jeff, that's it.
- 27:26 Look, a fella in your place can't afford to carry any extra weight.
- 27:29 I know it hurts to give the boy up.
- 27:31 But I know and you know
- 27:33 that you're in no spot to do the things for him she can.
- 27:36 That's right.
- 27:39 This is his birthday.
- 27:40 that's all
- 27:42 His mother is having him over for the day. She's giving him a party.
- 27:46 For us, there'll be presents.
- 27:49 Well...
- 27:50 I asked you.
- 27:51 You told me.
- 27:53 That's that.
- 27:55 Now, wait a minute, Jeff.
- 27:56 You got a great voice there's a market for this simply got to be.
- 28:00 I'm not quitting I don't want you to quit either.
- 28:02 Come on let's just keep plugging a few days long and see what happens.
- 28:06 Is that okay with you?
- 28:08 OK, Charlie.
- 28:54 Where's my mother? She sent you this note.
- 29:20 Oh, oh.
- 29:29 Danny child.
- 29:31 What is it?
- 29:36 Dear Johnny,
- 29:38 Mother is very sorry.
- 29:39 but she won't be able to have you come to see
- 29:42 here today.
- 29:43 Oh,
- 29:44 Oh, Danny.
- 29:49 What a mother.
- 29:51 something wrong Mrs. Price?
- 29:57 I can't believe a mother would do such a thing.
- 30:00 She would.
- 30:01 And she did.
- 30:03 call it.
- 30:04 fellow.
- 30:05 All he gets for his birthday is a broken heart. I'll go upstairs and see if I can cheer him up
- 30:11 I doubt if anyone can do that.
- 30:13 At least I can try.
- 30:22 - Oh, so you're back here again, huh? - Yes, I want to borrow some money on my music.
- 30:27 My friend, I'd like to do business with you, but what good to me is music?
- 30:31 - You've got my watch, you've got a suitcase full of money.
- 30:33 close and
- 30:34 My overcoat, you might get stuck with those, but...
- 30:37 - This music was so good.
- 30:37 This means everything in the world to me.
- 30:39 I couldn't get a job without this.
- 30:42 I sang this role in Europe.
- 30:44 This one too.
- 30:45 Classics, huh?
- 30:46 Well, I'm sorry. There ain't no market for that stuff.
- 30:52 How much is that radio?
- 30:54 - With one?
- 30:55 $10 practically new my music's worth a lot more than that look at the
- 31:00 Hold my music and let me have the radio.
- 31:02 What do you want with a radio?
- 31:04 I have a son 11 years old.
- 31:05 birthday
- 31:07 I've got to take him something.
- 31:09 How are you going to make a living if you haven't got your music?
- 31:12 There's a lot more music in that radio than there is in me now.
- 31:14 Well, I'm sorry. Can't do business like that.
- 31:22 Yeah.
- 31:28 Wait a minute.
- 31:30 Wait a minute.
- 31:36 Take the boys' radio.
- 31:39 I don't know.
- 31:44 Oh, I'll be back for it, don't worry.
- 31:56 Count, count, count, count the bullets in your bandolier. If your eyes drop, they'll get atop of you.
- 32:09 Roots moving up and down again. There's no discharge in the war.
- 32:52 Oh, my God.
- 32:56 Amen.
- 32:57 Hello, Mrs. Price.
- 33:00 Can I get home yet?
- 33:02 Why, he never left.
- 33:04 What do you mean?
- 33:06 He sat out there on the steps for hours, all dressed up.
- 33:09 and his shoes polished so you could see your face in them.
- 33:12 And then this note came.
- 33:20 I think Millie would pull a thing like that.
- 33:22 Jeff, don't you ever let that woman get near the child again after what she did to him today. It's something he'll never forget as long as he lives.
- 33:32 Referred to you by his price.
- 33:34 Oh, yes, I know.
- 33:36 Have you had any microphone experience and I'm afraid not.
- 33:39 Just stand there and don't talk too loudly.
- 33:41 And when I give you the go-ahead...

- 35:18 Hi, Dad.
- 35:19 Sunday, did you ever hear of a radio program called
- 35:22 Red deer, laughing cowboy.
- 35:24 What?
- 35:25 Why sure, Dad. Lots of times. All the time when I was at military school, we had a radio. Do you like it?
- 35:31 Oh, it's great.
- 35:32 Do you like red deer?
- 35:33 Roger the brave Indian. Why if it wasn't for Redger the laughing cowboy never get out of anything. Oh a handy fella.

- 35:49 He isn't gonna be killed, is he?
- 35:53 Son?
- 35:55 Meet the new red deer.
- 35:56 Huh?
- 35:57 - You rat, dear? - Mm-hmm. Look here, son.
- 36:00 You know...
- 36:02 Your dad used to be an actor before he tried to be an opera singer. So he's just going back to acting a while, playing the part of Red Deer the Brave Indian.
- 36:09 For death.
- 36:10 - Amos? - Amos?
- 36:12 On the radio all the time? On the radio all the time. I hope. - When do you start being Red Deer? - Saturday.
- 36:19 Can I tell the kids at school? Sure.
- 36:21 Is Red you're gonna sing now? No, just going to be an Indian.
- 36:29 What kind of a fellow is this Reddy?
- 36:31 Oh, he's a wonderful fella. I know, but...
- 36:33 How does he talk? How does he sound?
- 36:35 You're a red deer expert.
- 36:37 I never heard him.
- 36:38 I did.
- 36:41 Want to be anything, cowboy?
- 36:43 Me? Sure.
- 36:46 But she's an actor. So are you.
- 36:50 If you're not there a lot of generations have gone to waste.
- 36:53 You know, your granddad...
- 36:55 played Shakespeare 30 seasons.
- 36:57 Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
- 37:01 As a matter of fact, your dad wasn't the worst actor in the world.
- 37:03 Your mom acted too.
- 37:06 Mom was a dancer. She told me.
- 37:08 Hector's blood just the same. Come on.
- 37:12 You're right there.
- 37:13 Now...
- 37:14 I talk.
- 37:15 You talk.
- 37:16 And I talk and...
- 37:17 Maybe I got set for the rehearsal.
- 37:21 Horses who, spading on. Yeah, now wait a minute. You don't play all the parts, you know.
- 37:26 You just read the lines where the Latin cowboy talks.
- 37:29 Oh.
- 37:30 Laughing cowboy, coldly.
- 37:32 Stand where you are. Don't nobody move a finger.
- 37:35 I got you covered. Drop those guys.
- 37:38 Hey.
- 37:39 You want to smile when you say that, partner.
- 37:43 I'm sorry, son.
- 37:44 Guess I'd better stick with it.
- 37:46 Go on.
- 37:47 - Up.
- 37:49 Sound, oncoming hoops.
- 37:50 Here comes Red Gear now. Come on, Dad. You talk now.
- 37:54 Oh, yeah.
- 38:01 What's the matter?
- 38:02 That isn't a very good war.
- 38:04 Well, what's wrong with my Wahoo?
- 38:06 It didn't scare me.
- 38:08 Whoa.
- 38:09 Look, sir.
- 38:11 As actor to actor, I'll tell you a secret.
- 38:13 Only ham actors resent criticism.
- 38:16 It's a hound.
- 38:17 or what I do.
- 38:18 I certainly hope I'm not one.
- 38:20 You see?
- 38:21 Acting is just pretending.
- 38:23 for example.
- 38:24 You pretend to be somebody you aren't or.
- 38:27 to mean something that you don't mean at all, really.
- 38:30 The audience believes you?
- 38:32 They don't believe you.
- 38:33 Then you're not an actor.
- 38:34 That's the secret.
- 38:36 - You understand?
- 38:37 Yes, sir.
- 38:38 But if you act whether you need to act or not,
- 38:41 Then you're a ham.
- 38:43 Yes, sir.
- 38:45 Listen.
- 38:46 If you ever catch me being a ham, you let me know, and I'll let you know too. Oh, all right.
- 38:52 It's your turn.
- 38:53 Oh.
- 38:54 Stand where you are. Don't nobody move. I got you coming.
- 38:58 Drop them guns and don't hesitate.
- 39:03 *crying*
- 39:05 We're surrounded now.
- 39:10 What's the matter?
- 39:13 You don't sound like Red Deer.
- 39:15 Why not?
- 39:16 What?
- 39:17 Well, Red, you're kind of scared.
- 39:18 Scared.
- 39:19 Well,
- 39:21 Give me a rough idea.
- 39:24 Me too.
- 39:26 The critics no like.
- 39:28 Red deer, no eat.
- 39:29 Come on, give me that war hoop. Come on.
- 39:34 All right.
- 39:40 I see what you mean, all right.
- 39:50 For mercy's sake, what's going on here? Oh, it's all right, Miss Price.
- 39:53 Just a couple of actors rehearsing that's all. Rehearsing for what? For my job.
- 39:58 Did you get it? We're all set.
- 40:00 We'll be back in a minute, Sam. Come on, I'll tell you all about it.
- 40:08 Mrs. Price, I finally quit kidding myself about Pacelli.
- 40:11 From now on I'm going to be an actor again.
- 40:13 I'm going to play the part of Red in the Laughing Cowboy program.
- 40:16 What do you mean? I sent you over there so they could hear you sing.
- 40:19 They'll never hear me sing on this program.
- 40:21 After all,
- 40:23 It's a job and that's what I need.
- 40:25 Does that mean you're going to give up your career? What career?
- 40:28 After all you've gone through to get to be an opera singer look.
- 40:32 I lost my wife.
- 40:33 I almost lost my son trying to be a singer.
- 40:36 From now on, all I want is a job.
- 40:38 a steady job so I can keep my son.
- 40:41 Don't worry, everything will be fine.
- 40:50 - Oh, I beg your pardon, sir. - Well, what is the pick? Aren't you Raffaele Almonte? Yes, I am Almonte. What do you want? My own breath.
- 40:57 Wait, please.
- 40:58 They're waiting for me.
- 41:00 The orchestra every night. I just wanted to meet you, senor. I've heard so much about you.
- 41:04 I used to listen to your records a lot while I was studying.
- 41:07 - You're singing? - Yes, I...
- 41:08 Well, that is, I did. The greatest voice in opera for Celli's crazy to get him. The kind of voice they ought to have in opera instead of some of those has-beens they've been hiring me. You're speaking to a monkey.
- 41:19 Well, so what? Meet a real singer. No, no. Chime in, sorter. Go away. Senor. Go away. Go away. I'm terribly...
- 41:26 What's the matter with you?
- 41:28 Nice work, Charlie. For what I do.
- 41:30 Almonte only gets a thousand a week on the air.
- 41:33 Read in the paper this morning, Pichelli signed him up for another season.
- 41:36 What do you mean, that guy? That guy. You mean that's the kind of opposition you're up against?
- 41:39 Mister, you're a cinch. No, Charlie.
- 41:42 Alamont is still a big name and he's got the job.
- 41:45 You're not going to worry about that for a year. Nope. I just wish I was him. That's all.
- 41:49 Forget about it.
- 41:50 Look, son.
- 41:51 Mr. Great will get a cab and take you over your mother's I've got to get inside this rehearsal is going to be planted tough.
- 41:56 To tell you the truth, I'm not a stage fright.
- 41:59 5:15 is going to be a big minute for me.
- 42:02 You'll be all right.
- 42:04 I'll bet you're gonna be the best red deer they ever had. I studied with a great teacher.
- 42:09 Thanks, Dad. I'm going to listen to the program
- 42:11 I'm gonna ask Mama. She won't listen, too.
- 42:13 Have a good time, sir.
- 42:14 I will, dear. I'll see you at home tonight, huh?
- 42:16 Yes, Ren.
- 42:17 Good luck. That's my sentiments too. If you've got to be an Indian
- 42:21 Be a good Indian and I know you will be. Thanks Charlie. Goodbye. So long Jim.
- 42:27 Come in.
- 42:31 Sam, what are you doing home?
- 42:33 I decided to take the day off. Thank you, Marie.
- 42:36 Did a little shopping on the way home. Oh.
- 42:39 Darling, now don't tell me you've been buying more things for me. Really, you shouldn't.
- 42:43 No, these are for Danny. For his birthday.
- 42:47 Sorry I'm a week late, but you didn't tell me.
- 42:49 Sam, I think you're pretty foolish of you.
- 42:51 I don't think so.
- 42:53 I like that boy.
- 42:54 Wish he liked me.
- 42:56 Incidentally, he's due here any minute. Shouldn't you be dressed and ready when he gets here?
- 43:00 I'll dress in a minute.
- 43:02 Marie.
- 43:03 I'll try that dark nail polish tonight.
- 43:24 Oh, how do you do, Master Derry? Come in.
- 43:30 Hello, Danny.
- 43:31 Good afternoon, sir.
- 43:34 Is my mother... She'll be with us in a few minutes.
- 43:38 How are you?
- 43:42 Let's go sit down.
- 43:44 All right.
- 43:45 What are you doing with yourself these days?
- 43:47 Nothing much.
- 43:49 Here we are.
- 43:52 How schooled.
- 43:55 Playing any baseball?
- 43:56 No, sir.
- 43:57 Why not? Don't you like baseball?
- 44:00 Well...
- 44:01 You see, I don't have much time.
- 44:03 Right after school, I go home and help my dad.
- 44:06 Help your father do what, Annie?
- 44:08 Well, he says I'm a very good audience.
- 44:10 For what?
- 44:11 From today on, Dad's Red Deer on the radio.
- 44:15 He's what?
- 44:16 He's an actress.
- 44:17 I thought your father was a singer.
- 44:19 Oh, he gave that up. This is much better.
- 44:22 He's a red deer now.
- 44:24 Red deer's a brave Indian.
- 44:28 He, uh, Dad and me rehearse together, so he'll do Red Deer just right.
- 44:32 and
- 44:33 I'm learning to act too.
- 44:34 It says I got actor's blood in my veins.
- 44:37 Don't you ever listen to the laughing cowboy?
- 44:39 No, I don't think so, Danny. What is it?
- 44:42 Well, it's a big, swell radio program.
- 44:45 It's on every Saturday afternoon at 5:15.
- 44:47 Today's Dad's first time on the show.
- 44:51 It'll be all right if I listen to 5:15, Mr. Rankin.
- 44:54 I don't see why not.
- 44:56 Well, you see, Dad's the brave Indian that's always rescuing the laughing cowboy.
- 45:01 And everybody. You don't want to kill anybody, but sometimes it has to just to save people.

- 46:00 That fellow's a real actor.
- 46:03 Oh, chap. Hey, you back?

- 46:16 And they pay every Wednesday.
- 46:18 So that takes care of the touring opera company. Yes and it takes care of you Jeff the wrong way.
- 46:22 You want to be in Indian all your life?
- 46:24 You don't.
- 46:25 I've got this fella steamed up to where he wants you. You and nobody else.
- 46:29 He's got to give his decision between now and Monday.
- 46:31 But I'm going to get somebody else now wait a minute you're giving up the greatest chance you'll ever have and for what.
- 46:36 the most important thing in my life.
- 46:38 No, you're wrong, Jeff.
- 46:40 Now if you've seen that boy when he went over to his mother's how tickled he was.
- 46:43 He'll come home with his arms full of presents, you know that.
- 46:46 Now suppose you do get 50 bucks a week for playing Indians the rest of your life.
- 46:50 You can't do much for the boy with that.
- 46:53 I think we can get along all right, Charlie.
- 46:55 Come on, I'm thirsty. But, Jeff, please.
- 46:57 No, this is the chancellor.
- 47:01 Here's where I spend a month fishing every summer. You and I can have a lot of fun up there.

- 47:37 Already have a guest, you know.
- 47:40 Well, it's time for Danny to go home.
- 47:42 Does it bother you having your son around?
- 47:44 What's the matter with you, Sam?
- 47:46 As far as I know, nothing. I'm trying to understand what's the matter with you.
- 47:50 I don't know what you mean.
- 47:51 I don't know.
- 47:53 Well, I think it's a little ridiculous for us to argue about my son.
- 47:56 worse than ridiculous my having to entertain the boy alone while you spend the afternoon in your room.
- 48:01 He wants to listen to his father on the radio.
- 48:03 Well, I don't.
- 48:04 It won't hurt you, Annie.
- 48:06 It might make the boy feel better.
- 48:08 I think you'd better join us.
- 48:11 All right, Sam.
- 48:14 if you insist upon making an issue of it.
- 48:27 - Heavens, we're not at home to anyone. - Very good, sir.
- 48:36 Hi, Evan. I'm, uh, David. Who happened? Oh, David. All right, that's all about a drink. Yes, sir. I get a flock of drinks. Very good, sir, yes.
- 48:42 So he's an expecting guest.
- 48:53 Quite occasion finding you home, Sam. Yeah, what is the girl have to do to get a drink or already told Evans to get us some. I'm quite sure Evans will take good old Evans.
- 49:02 - Mmm. - Huh?
- 49:04 This requires the hands of an expert. Indeed, yes, sir. I'll take out this. An expert, he says.
- 49:08 Uh, that's a bit of fun.
- 49:12 Terrific.
- 49:13 I'll take one.
- 49:17 I know what you want, Millie.
- 49:22 The finest machine is in town.
- 49:24 Oh, I tell you what. Did you get your station, Danny?
- 49:28 Yes, sir.
- 49:39 Right here.
- 49:42 It's on the air. Well, there's another radio in the kitchen, Danny.
- 49:45 He'll listen right here.
- 49:46 Millie, is this your little boy?
- 49:48 Cute.
- 49:49 - Hi, fella. - Hello, little boy. What's your name, honey?
- 49:52 Danny, say, how do you do?
- 49:55 How do you do?
- 49:57 Danny wants to listen to a program called The Laughing Cowboy.
- 50:01 And so do I.
- 50:04 All right.
- 50:04 Laughing what?
- 50:05 The laughing cowboy.
- 50:07 My dad's Red Deer, the brave Indians.
- 50:09 Now, wait a second. Let me get it straight. Your dad is an Indian?
- 50:12 No, Danny's father is an actor.
- 50:13 He plays Red Deer on the program he wants to hear.
- 50:16 I helped my dad rehearse.
- 50:18 Today's the day Red Deer rescues the drowning girl.
- 50:23 Her father owns a lazy W ranch, but their gold mine...
- 50:27 and um,
- 50:28 - It's Nick Long and his game off the ranch.
- 50:30 So they walk on us.
- 50:31 stole or kidnapped, Nancy Lakin took her a prisoner.
- 50:36 But she jumped in the river trying to get away.
- 50:39 She can't swim.
- 50:40 And the Laughing Cowboy can't...
- 50:43 A rescuer because they guarded him tied up in dead man's cave.
- 50:46 The Red Deer comes to the rescue.
- 50:48 Listen.
- 50:51 And the American Stove Hour presents
- 50:53 The Laughing Cowboy and his friend Red Deer.
- 50:56 The brave Indians.
- 50:57 Hey!
- 50:58 Look out!
- 50:59 Scatter.
- 50:59 Take cover. There comes the engine.
- 51:01 Don't let him get the girl.
- 51:02 start you'll kill that in here goes my dad.
- 51:05 Me.
- 51:06 Red Deer.
- 51:08 That's awful.
- 51:14 We have to listen to that.
- 51:16 Get the engine.
- 51:17 Turn it off. Get some music. We want to dance.
- 51:22 I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not drunk enough for this.
- 51:25 Ye not want to kill nobody.
- 51:30 Yeah.
- 51:33 more, amen.
- 51:35 I am.
- 51:41 I have another big problem.
- 51:48 Oh, my God. After all, I had a day in a...
- 51:54 I don't know, but more in there.
- 51:56 Yeah, I'm not going to let you. I'm not going to let you. I'm not going to let you. I am.
- 52:08 Get up.
- 52:10 Hey.
- 52:11 What did you say?
- 52:12 I said get out.
- 52:14 Get out before I throw you out.
- 52:16 And don't come back.
- 52:18 Sam, you're talking to my friends.
- 52:19 Yes, I know.
- 52:21 But I'm also thinking about your son.
- 52:23 Well, then.
- 52:24 If that's the way you feel about it,
- 52:26 We'll go.
- 52:27 Come on, dear.
- 52:32 Where are you going?
- 52:34 To talk to Danny.
- 52:35 If you talk to me.
- 52:36 After what's happened?
- 53:01 Danny!
- 53:13 Where are you going?
- 53:15 Mr. Rankin.
- 53:17 going home.
- 53:18 I want to
- 53:19 - She's dead.
- 53:20 Long walk to your house, Danny.
- 53:23 Hadn't you better get in the cab and...
- 53:24 Let me take you home?
- 53:26 There's a radio.
- 53:27 We can listen to Red Deer on the way if you want to.
- 53:32 I just as soon walked.
- 53:35 - I'm red.
- 53:58 Hi, Dad. Hi, soldier. Home rather late, aren't you?
- 54:02 Is it late?
- 54:03 It's almost dinner time.
- 54:06 I guess I was enjoying myself so much, I didn't notice the time.
- 54:10 Have a good time.
- 54:12 Oh, great.
- 54:13 fine.
- 54:15 Did you...
- 54:17 Did you hear the program today?
- 54:19 Yes, sir.
- 54:21 You're swell.
- 54:29 Hi, Jas. - Charlie.
- 54:30 Hi, Danny. Hello, Mr. Grady.
- 54:33 I gotta see your dad on business.
- 54:38 Now what?
- 54:39 Well, that, uh...
- 54:41 That opera company fellow was over to see me again.
- 54:43 Look Charlie I told you I'm not interested and I'm not but you will be knowledge to this now.
- 54:48 deposit four weeks
- 54:49 pay in advance.
- 54:50 and if we're sending it on the tape.
- 54:51 Why he'll star you Jeff. Photos, billing and everything. Guarantee a build up. Let's pick your own roles. It's a chance for your life. You'll never get another one like it. Jeff.
- 54:59 Be what you was born to be. Take this job and go places.
- 55:02 - It's for your own sake. - Yeah.
- 55:03 And for the boys' sake, good.
- 55:06 Charlie.
- 55:19 Dad?
- 55:20 Hmm?
- 55:22 Do you like being red, dear?
- 55:25 What?
- 55:25 Do you really like being red deer?
- 55:28 Good job, son.
- 55:30 Easy working.
- 55:31 The checks don't bounce back.
- 55:33 But do you like it, Dad?
- 55:35 Why?
- 55:36 Oh yeah.
- 55:38 I guess I'm not as interested in the laughing cowboy as much as I used to be.
- 55:43 wives
- 55:45 Boys, you heard Charlie. Grady talking to me just now.
- 55:48 Does talk pretty loud, doesn't he, son?
- 55:50 Well...
- 55:52 Danny.
- 55:54 You know that job that Charlie was talking about?
- 55:57 That's not for me.
- 55:58 You know what I'd have to do?
- 56:00 I have to travel all the time.
- 56:02 Sleep in hotels.
- 56:04 Mean nothing but strange people.
- 56:06 And I'd have to stand out on the stage with grease paint all over my face and
- 56:11 light shining in my eyes.
- 56:13 I have to sing my silly head off whether I liked it or not.
- 56:17 Stand out there and...
- 56:18 Bowels like a jack in the box.
- 56:21 waiting for the people to applaud.
- 56:23 Oh, gee, Dad, wouldn't that be fun?
- 56:25 Fun.
- 56:27 That's hard work.
- 56:28 for what?
- 56:30 Mr. Grady says $100 a week.
- 56:32 That's a lot of money, isn't it, Dad?
- 56:34 More than you get for being red, dear.
- 56:37 Expenses would eat it all up.
- 56:39 But you'd rather be a singer than an actor, wouldn't you?
- 56:44 I'd rather be red.
- 56:46 Take my word for it, Sam.
- 56:48 I'd rather be red, dear.
- 56:49 Now don't you worry about anything. Everything is going to be all right.
- 56:54 Hey, there's a dinner bell. You better get dressed. Now hurry up.
- 57:30 Amen.
- 57:55 Carter? Yes?
- 57:56 My name is Rankin.
- 57:57 Sam Rankin.
- 57:58 We got some presents for your boy today. He forgot and left him.
- 58:01 my home.
- 58:02 I thought I'd bring them over.
- 58:04 Very kind of you.
- 58:06 Mr. Carter, I'd like to talk to you about it.
- 58:12 Alright.
- 58:13 a second.
- 58:35 What is it, Mr. Rankin?
- 58:37 Danny's a fine boy. I think so.
- 58:39 I haven't known him very long and I haven't had the opportunity to
- 58:42 You know him very well, but...
- 58:44 I've grown to like him as much as if he were my own son.
- 58:47 Very good to Danny and I.
- 58:50 I hope you're...
- 58:53 I have nothing.
- 58:56 I trust you won't mind my saying so but...
- 58:58 I believe Danny's future matters as much to me as...
- 59:01 as it does to you.
- 59:04 He is my son.
- 59:05 Granted.
- 59:06 that I
- 59:07 I wondered if we couldn't make some arrangements
- 59:10 Make things better for everyone concerned.
- 59:12 especially for Danny.
- 59:15 What sort of arrangement?
- 59:16 I can give the boy everything he wants and needs.
- 59:19 the finest education money can buy.
- 59:21 A real start
- 59:25 that his mother sent.
- 59:26 No.
- 59:27 She doesn't even know I'm here.
- 59:29 This is just between you and me.
- 59:32 I'd like to adopt Danny legally.
- 59:34 I think the boy will be better off and...
- 59:36 You'll be free to follow your career.
- 59:39 I don't think the arrangement will work, Mr. Ratkin.
- 59:42 As a matter of fact, I know it won't.
- 59:43 But I can't believe that you'd ever have left Danny to go to Europe and study if singing wasn't the most...
- 59:48 in your life.
- 59:50 I admire you very much, Mr.
- 59:53 or sacrificing a career,
- 59:55 and playing an Indian on a mediocre radio program.
- 59:58 in order to support your family.
- 1:00:02 Well, I...
- 1:00:03 I appreciate your interest in my son, Mr. Rankin, but...
- 1:00:07 I have made plans for Danny and me.
- 1:00:10 I have a feeling they're going to work out somehow.
- 1:00:17 If you ever need any help,
- 1:00:19 Don't hesitate to call them.
- 1:00:23 Good night, Miss.
- 1:00:25 Good night.
- 1:00:57 Oh, hi, dear.
- 1:00:58 Hi, soldier.
- 1:01:01 I thought I heard somebody talking. Mr. Rankin was here and he left the presents you found.
- 1:01:05 - You can open them in the morning. - I'd rather now.
- 1:01:16 Okay.
- 1:01:19 Oh!
- 1:01:20 - What is it? - A uniform.
- 1:01:25 camera to take pictures with him.
- 1:01:28 Oh, and some roller skates.
- 1:01:32 Oh, excuse me.
- 1:01:33 socks and the gloves and
- 1:01:35 Oh.
- 1:01:35 And there's some sweaters out there.
- 1:01:37 Well, next time's a beer.
- 1:01:42 Look at these.
- 1:01:43 I'm sorry.
- 1:01:44 - I will.
- 1:01:45 Yeah.
- 1:01:50 - Mr. Reagan's sure doing it in the prison.
- 1:01:52 didn't he?
- 1:01:53 Good.
- 1:01:54 Oh, look at these things.
- 1:01:55 What is this?
- 1:01:56 Pope Behring's in everything.
- 1:01:58 It's in your closet. I want all the lights on so you can see everything.
- 1:02:05 You shouldn't get so excited.
- 1:02:07 Why, get help being excited, dear?
- 1:02:09 You know what Mr. Rankin said to me?
- 1:02:12 He said if I was his boy and lived at his place with him,
- 1:02:15 He took me cabin way out west.
- 1:02:17 and he'd buy me a motorboat all on my own.
- 1:02:20 Aunt Adam McCartan!
- 1:02:22 And it'd be all my own, all of that.
- 1:02:25 I can go to college when I grew up and...
- 1:02:28 And the...
- 1:02:29 And he has a big house way out in the country.
- 1:02:32 And I could have horses and all the dogs I want to.
- 1:02:35 And everything.
- 1:02:36 and look.
- 1:02:38 It's all right. It all sounds fine.
- 1:02:42 Just talk things over again.
- 1:02:43 Sit down.
- 1:02:46 Now, there's one thing between you and me.
- 1:02:48 Now and always.
- 1:02:50 We're always going to be on the level with each other.
- 1:02:54 have something on our minds, we're going to come right out with it.
- 1:02:57 Man to man.
- 1:02:58 That's right.
- 1:03:00 Sure, kid.
- 1:03:01 All right.
- 1:03:02 I want to ask you a question.
- 1:03:05 I want you to answer me right out.
- 1:03:07 Don't worry about hurting Daddy's feelings because...
- 1:03:10 The only way you could hurt them would be to...
- 1:03:12 - You want something and hate the truth.
- 1:03:16 Would you...
- 1:03:18 Rather go into the woods.
- 1:03:19 Mr. Rankin and your mother?
- 1:03:23 She did?
- 1:03:27 Would you?
- 1:03:28 If you can, if you want to.
- 1:03:31 Well, it isn't much fun around here.
- 1:03:34 Mr. Rankin's got a big place to live in
- 1:03:37 and how do you have a room all the time?
- 1:03:39 She'll...
- 1:03:39 You're right, it's.
- 1:03:40 I'd just push a button if I wanted something.
- 1:03:43 to wait on me?
- 1:03:45 Of course I'd like it there.
- 1:03:47 I'd like it much better.
- 1:03:49 Who wouldn't?
- 1:03:51 I like it.
- 1:03:57 And I cried, I cried.
- 1:03:59 Yes, son.
- 1:04:01 You try.
- 1:04:07 You said you can't ask so people believe you.
- 1:04:12 You're no good. You're just a ham-etcher.
- 1:04:18 Well, I guess I'm just a ham.
- 1:04:20 No, son.
- 1:04:23 The greatest acts in the world.
- 1:04:25 rehearses a long time before he plays the biggest scene in his life.
- 1:04:30 Didn't you know that?
- 1:04:31 Everything takes time.
- 1:04:34 But we're all right.
- 1:04:35 You and I.
- 1:04:38 Oh, Dad, I love you so.
- 1:04:48 Well, it is bad news for Latin cowboys.
- 1:04:50 Red Deer see Killer Regan Wade in ambush.
- 1:04:53 I've been cowboy stay away from last chance river.
- 1:04:56 Oh, gee, Dad, you're getting it better all the time.
- 1:04:58 No wonder. Look who's coaching you.
- 1:05:00 Look, sir.
- 1:05:02 As soon as the broadcast is over.
- 1:05:03 Red deer and small papoos go places.
- 1:05:05 Mm-hmm.
- 1:05:05 I always did want to go to Corny Island. That's where you'll be less than an hour from now.
- 1:05:09 Well, I gotta get in here now. Can't hold up rehearsals. That's very wrong when an actor holds up rehearsals, isn't it?
- 1:05:14 - You bet it is. - Yes.
- 1:05:15 Red Deer go.
- 1:05:16 The red deer better come back.
- 1:05:18 - Okay, so it's good.
- 1:05:22 You have to worry, you know, we'll go in the air in five minutes.
- 1:05:26 What's the matter? Don't you see? I'm sick.
- 1:05:28 I've been...
- 1:05:29 I was here for the whole day.
- 1:05:32 I might feel better, but...
- 1:05:33 It's no use. You've got to call off to shore.
- 1:05:36 I cannot sing.
- 1:05:37 I must lie down, please.
- 1:05:41 - Please. - Hey, wait a minute, almighty. You've got to sing.
- 1:05:47 Hey, Mister, my dad can take his place. He's our greatest thing in the world. How close he is. Run along.
- 1:05:53 What do we do now?
- 1:05:55 I'm going in and talk to him. He's got to go on. That's all there is to it.
- 1:05:58 Only one thing to do, men. Kill the laughing cowboy.
- 1:06:02 That's what I've been saying all along.
- 1:06:05 We gotta get that engine too.
- 1:06:06 Bad medicine, that red deer.
- 1:06:09 I'll take care of him.
- 1:06:10 - Leave them to me. - Wait a minute, folks.
- 1:06:13 Let me see that last line.
- 1:06:17 Let's take a...
- 1:06:18 - We'll do it again in this next rehearsal, and the next time, cut it down. - And Dad! - And projector brushes. - Son, you know you shouldn't come in disturbing.
- 1:06:25 - Rehearsals like that. - But Dad, I gotta talk to you. I got it. It's terribly important. It's awful important.
- 1:06:31 Mr. Trimble, excuse me. I'll be right back.
- 1:06:33 Okay, make a stopping.
- 1:06:34 All right, shall we go again?
- 1:06:36 What is it, son? Senor Armani's sick, so we can't sing on the air.
- 1:06:40 But you can take his place. You can sing better than your Armani ever could. But wait a minute, I... You haven't got a minute to wait, Dad.
- 1:06:46 Just as you said.
- 1:06:47 The show must go on.
- 1:06:49 It doesn't know about you, that's all.
- 1:06:53 Well?
- 1:06:53 Don't go. You'll have to make an announcement.
- 1:06:55 Hey, mister! Mister, I got a single for you, better than your almighty ever was.
- 1:07:00 What are you talking about, little boy? Oh, my dad!
- 1:07:02 He's our great singer. He's singing Italy, France, and all over.
- 1:07:06 Is that right?
- 1:07:07 Well, I...
- 1:07:08 sing the usual baritone repertoire.
- 1:07:11 Have you ever sung Herodian many times.
- 1:07:14 I'll take a chance.
- 1:07:16 Come on.
- 1:07:16 I'll be listening, Dad. I'll be listening.
- 1:07:50 Hello.
- 1:07:55 What?
- 1:07:56 Yeah.
- 1:07:56 I'm running sick so I can't go in the air.
- 1:07:59 And Ned's gonna take his place right away. Okay, okay, I'll take care of it, Shelley.
- 1:08:02 Yes, sir. Go on.
- 1:08:14 One minute.
- 1:08:18 Oh, we're on the air in one minute.
- 1:08:20 I'm counting on you, Carter.
- 1:08:22 Good luck.
- 1:08:23 Thank you very much.
- 1:08:34 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:08:36 Five o'clock, and once again, gold and silver music hour.
- 1:08:39 On the air.
- 1:08:49 This is enough for you to take America from me.
- 1:08:59 Esperanza trop brave, que vinha a ver-se em mocar.
- 1:09:06 It's troubling my reason.
- 1:09:13 Oh
- 1:09:15 ...ne t'en t'y pas.
- 1:09:19 Mmm.
- 1:09:23 He lives in all.
- 1:09:29 Come on.
- 1:09:30 I tell her.
- 1:09:31 I've got to see for Chelly.
- 1:09:32 My man's on the air, he's got to listen. - Antonio Pacelli's gone home. - Look, fella, once and for all, I'm gonna find out if there is a Pacelli.
- 1:09:39 You can't go in there. I'm going in if I have to carry you on my back.
- 1:09:43 Ladies and gentlemen, two on, two out. Yankee's leading, two to one. Madik at battle. Is the wind up? Get out! Get out! Listen! Get down and listen! My singer's on the air!
- 1:09:55 Don't touch it! Look down! It's funny, it's nice!
- 1:10:01 Oh,
- 1:10:01 Who is this man? He's my boy. Who has it been all this time?
- 1:10:06 Right outside your door and he couldn't get in.
- 1:10:08 Why'd you do this to me?
- 1:10:10 I'll fire somebody. I'll do something. Right now, I'll listen. That's a good idea.
- 1:10:40 Toi, c'est un fort pour cette plame, sans remords et sans plaintes.
- 1:10:52 # Je donnerai mon âme pour toi. #
- 1:10:59 Mon amour.
- 1:11:04 Monastery
- 1:11:06 What is your city like?
- 1:11:15 But who are you? Marl, my name is Marl. You are my friend.
- 1:11:22 Come on, let's go.
- 1:11:24 We sat on.
- 1:11:32 Oh, Namur!
- 1:11:36 When will fall on the moon?
- 1:11:45 Morn as the one.
- 1:12:08 Oh gee, Dad. Sound all right? All right?
- 1:12:13 - I think you're a dynamite.
- 1:12:15 sensational as Mr. Gritty says.
- 1:12:17 All the time.
