Short filmTranscript
00:01:30It all started back in the days we were still shoving the Nazis out of Italy. I've been
00:01:45through the whole African campaign. After we hit the beach at Anzio, I got myself a
00:01:49soft spot in the quartermaster's corps, driving a supply truck on the run from Salerno to
00:01:54Naples. I found out quick that a guy with half a brain could make himself a fast buck.
00:02:00I had a gimmick. I never got loaded up with heavy stuff, only negotiable goods that I
00:02:05could turn over for a good price. Strictly A1 merchandise like, oh, cigarettes, canned
00:02:11milk, chocolate, that kind of stuff. Later, someone dreamt up a name for it, Black Market.
00:02:17That made it sound dirty. But nobody got hurt in my operations, and I figured I was collecting
00:02:22a bonus for living. I recognized the signal. It was a guy from my company. He'd been looking
00:02:42for me up and down the road to tip me off that an MP reception committee was waiting
00:02:46for me up ahead in camp. I figured they'd have to get wise one of these days, but I
00:02:51didn't know then how much the brass had on me. Now I had to figure out what I was going
00:02:58to do. I wasn't going to let myself be caught red-handed with the profits, no sir. You see,
00:03:05I'd never been dumb enough to send that dough through the mails. Besides, I had nobody left
00:03:09back home that I could trust it with. I carried it where I could see it and touch it, almost
00:03:15next to my skin. I sat on it. I decided to ditch my bundle right where I made it, for
00:03:23the time being, that was. Four million lira, a lot of dough in any man's town, although
00:03:29right now it's only about 6,000 bucks American. Enough folding money to let me sit in the
00:03:35sun while I figured out how to multiply it. This looked like a good spot. So I picked
00:04:01my landmark, just to make sure I put my brand deep into it. First letter of my last name.
00:04:16I'd never forget that three. Three was my lucky number, so I walked three steps north
00:04:31and put my spade into the ground. I took a last look around to make sure it was safe to dig a
00:04:41vault for my dough. The MPs grabbed me the minute I got back to camp. They asked me all
00:05:03kinds of questions, and even without the money on me, I didn't have a chance. I got sent up.
00:05:09But four years go by, even if you sweat them out in an army prison detail, back home. And
00:05:15from that night on, that little piece of Italy became as much a part of me as my arm.
00:05:30I dreamt about that money as if it was a woman.
00:05:33I got out of the army at last, with a swell reference for getting a job, a dishonorable
00:05:47discharge. But it wasn't exactly a job that I was after. It was my dough that I wanted.
00:05:59It took too much red tape to get a passport, so I didn't waste any time
00:06:04contacting a guy named Vince. I was told that he could finagle a way to get me back over the big pond.
00:06:28Come on, Hazel, that's it. Lucky six. Shut up and watch me make ten the hard way.
00:06:43That does it. Hey, banker, let me know the 20 bucks in the little, will ya? Sure, sure,
00:06:52Keele, if there's a limit. I made him money. This'll be the last that's happy for him. Hey,
00:06:57get out the car for Vince, will ya? He says not made out of money. Yeah,
00:07:00needless to call it a bank. Thanks, Vince. I'll see you later, huh? That's right, kid,
00:07:05go get slicked up. I'll show you this burg inside out. Now, wait a minute. Let you and I settle up.
00:07:11You owe me 200,000, 20,000, 30,000. Have you seen Keele? No.
00:07:41Keele, wait a minute. I want to talk to you, just a second. Where you going,
00:07:50Buck? Let go of me. Running out on me, huh? I said let go of me. Can't get sorted a guy for
00:07:58worrying, can you? You owe me a hatful, Frankie. Hey, chicken scratch. Chicken scratch, Rockefeller
00:08:03says. He owes me 200 for getting him on his ship, 120 for incidentals. That comes to, uh,
00:08:08320, and he says chicken scratch. You'll get it, you'll get it. Listen, Frank,
00:08:13the deal was you'd pay off when we got Titley, so I figure when is now. First,
00:08:19I gotta get it. We're not showing up till six in the morning. Maybe I'd better come along. No.
00:08:23How do I know you're coming back? You don't. So? Think, stupid, without a passport,
00:08:28this ship's my only way of getting home. I'll be back in three or four hours. You'd better be.
00:08:33Meet me in Ronaldo's bar right up the street. Uh-huh, you see that? Now,
00:08:41wise guy, how are you gonna get past that gate without papers? Is it worth 50 bucks?
00:08:4720. Three bills. Okay, Sherlock.
00:10:33I don't know when I'll be back. How much?
00:10:59600. I understand. 600. Six and a half.
00:11:29It was my marker, all right. But it couldn't be.
00:11:38But I would have bet my life that I didn't bury my dough in a cemetery.
00:11:45That looked like my old tree.
00:11:46Yeah, that was my initial, just like I carved it that night.
00:11:53I paced those three steps to the north again.
00:12:02My hands itched to get on my shovel, but I couldn't then. Not with all those people around.
00:12:20Ah, you Americano? Ah, un amico. William Day, you know him? Were you soldati together?
00:12:43Uh, no, he was my brother. Ah, William's lips a nice place, huh? Perfect.

00:13:02on Island Avenue. I was Brooklyn. My sister girl be Mary. 15 years past. Sister want me to stay,
00:13:14but Brooklyn is for young man. Too fast, not me. But I like it. You don't say.
00:13:23How is doing Dodgers? Leading the league. Baseball, home run, Di Maggio, La Guardia,
00:13:32Roosevelt Delano, Cristoforo Colombo, all good Italians. I speak American good, no?
00:13:43Just like an idiot. You stay in Murphy? No. Come back see brother? Maybe sometime.
00:13:51Very good. Lots of work. You like? What is it?
00:14:00Eh, come on, you see. It's chapel. Cattolica, protestante, braga, makes no difference.

00:36:31man carried in his purse a large sum of money in American dollars as well as
00:36:35Frank's and later this money was missing from his body also his passport.
00:36:42Obviously a guilty man will not be caught with these things on this person my man
00:36:47has searched your room he did it and and found nothing.
00:36:54Except.
00:36:56So the police must assume that the murderer has hidden the loot perhaps buried
00:37:02it. This earth is still fresh.

00:40:35Must we always look for reasons.
00:40:37Isn't it enough you have an alibi.
00:40:40No.
00:40:42I'm still on the hook with the cops.
00:40:44And so am I.
00:40:46What do you mean?
00:40:47Lying for you.
00:40:48They know it.
00:40:50I don't get it.
00:40:54First you brush me off like dandruff and then when the cops you make like the Marines.
00:41:01It doesn't add up.
00:41:03Like the way you acted.
00:41:06Okay.
00:41:08So I'm a heel.
00:41:10So every guy ever kissed a girl is a heel.
00:41:14But you and I never did make orange blossom talk you know.
00:41:17Did we?
00:41:18The answer is what you want it to be.
00:41:20Did we?
00:41:22No.
00:41:27Why'd you go to the police?
00:41:28Before you question me I would like to have some hours with myself.
00:41:33Why did you come to Amalfi?
00:41:37For the sea air.
00:41:40I remember you baby.
00:41:42You think you smell dough don't you.
00:41:44You think I killed Vince and I got his money.
00:41:46Well get yourself on your crystal ball baby.
00:41:49All I got is a couple of bucks.
00:41:51Oh you will be rich again Frankie.
00:41:54You will get the money.
00:41:55You will get the money.
00:41:59What do you mean what money?
00:42:01Oh I don't know.
00:42:03But you have always been pretty smart.
00:42:06Haven't you Frankie?
00:42:09What do you think?
00:42:11You hungry?
00:42:13Yeah.
00:42:15I was just cooking breakfast.
00:42:17Will you have some?
00:42:18Are you kidding me?
00:42:20Let me see what you've got cooking.
00:42:22Oh it's sunny side up just the way I like it.
00:42:26So you weren't expecting me huh?
00:42:33Oh well it's raining oh boy.
00:42:37Give me your pants Frankie.
00:42:40I will press them.
00:42:56Hey welcome to Amalfi.
00:42:59Chamber of Commerce?
00:43:01No just a citizen.
00:43:03The moniker is Jack Conway.
00:43:05So?
00:43:06You never heard of Conway before?
00:43:08Should I have?
00:43:10Depends on what part of the states you come from.
00:43:12Around Newark, New Jersey Conway is a character ask anybody.
00:43:14Could be.
00:43:16Ever hear of Big Eddie O'Hara back home?
00:43:18Sure who hasn't?
00:43:20The racketeer why you work with him?
00:43:22Not exactly but Big Eddie and me were going to get together.
00:43:24Well I'm glad I've met you.
00:43:26Wait a minute fella you don't have to act like you've got something catching.
00:43:28I'm doing you a favor.
00:43:30Like what?
00:43:32Give the guy behind me a quick eye.
00:43:36All right I've seen him so what?
00:43:38A matter of interest.
00:43:40Hey okay let me tell you about him.
00:43:54I'm telling you he's a police bloodhound.
00:43:56He's been trailing you ever since you got out of the police station.
00:44:00Watch him follow us up to the top.
00:44:02Come on.
00:44:04So he's a cop what's he expect me to do?
00:44:06Lead him to the money.
00:44:08What money?
00:44:10The one your friend had on him.
00:44:12The cop has figured to catch you where you put it.
00:44:14Two plus two adds up to a murder rap.
00:44:16Everybody in this town knows more about me than I do.
00:44:19It's a small joint.
00:44:20And a long way from Newark.
00:44:22Exactly the right distance.
00:44:24You can have Newark and any other part
00:44:26of the states double in spades.
00:44:28This is the place.
00:44:30No income tax boys looking for you all the time.
00:44:32Ah so that's it huh?
00:44:34Taxes.
00:44:36A matter of forgetting the date.
00:44:38Why should a right guy be slapped into the can?
00:44:40Because he ain't got a calendar.
00:44:42Hey democratic.
00:44:44You gotta take the breaks the way they come.
00:44:46I figure you're about ready to listen to a proposition.
00:44:48What is it?
00:44:50I know you came to town to pick up a lot of dough.
00:44:54Yeah sure.
00:44:56My grandmother died here and left me her oil stocks.
00:44:58I figure it can't be legal money.
00:45:00You'd go after it right out in the open.
00:45:02You can't touch it with the coppers watching you.
00:45:04They'll figure it's your friend's money.
00:45:06So here's the deal.
00:45:08You tell me where it is or who's holding it for you.
00:45:10I get it for you.
00:45:12Help you get out of here.
00:45:14And you pay me a percentage.
00:45:16You sure can dream can't you?
00:45:18Dough, stocks, percentages.
00:45:21I don't own a button.
00:45:23When I do I'll make sure not to do business in your store.
00:45:26Evaporate chiseler.
00:46:18Hmm.
00:46:48I'll be right back.
00:47:18All right.
00:47:25Signore.
00:47:27After you.
00:47:29Instead of following me why don't you walk along with me.
00:47:31I think that you're mischievous.
00:47:33I know you're one of Messina's men.
00:47:35I'll be right back.
00:47:37I'll be right back.
00:47:39I'll be right back.
00:47:41I'll be right back.
00:47:43I'll be right back.
00:47:45I'll be right back.
00:47:46I know you're one of Messina's men.
00:47:48It's my duty to observe your movements.
00:47:51So you can observe them better if you walk along with me can't you?
00:47:54If you wish, signore.
00:47:57What did you boys find out about me anyway?
00:47:59That I'm the guilty party?
00:48:01I'm not allowed to discuss the case with you my friend.
00:48:05Oh, if we're going to be pals what do I call you?
00:48:08Marco Baldori, detective.
00:48:10I do some odd jobs for the police.
00:48:12I used to be in the regular police force.
00:48:15But I like to eat too much.
00:48:19Pleasure.
00:48:21Pleasure for me.
00:48:23You've been on the mountain long?
00:48:25About four years.
00:48:43Whiskey.
00:48:45You?
00:48:47I didn't drink.
00:48:49Tell me about last night.
00:48:51Non comprendo l'inglese.
00:48:53When the man who was murdered was here.
00:48:55Non capisco l'inglese.
00:48:57You ask him.
00:48:59I want to know exactly what happened.
00:49:00Did he give the names of all the people who were here last night?
00:49:31He said what he told the police.
00:49:33The man drank five whiskers and had plenty of money.
00:49:39Ah, great.
00:49:42I come hotel, ten o'clock.
00:49:50Come on Baldori.
00:49:52Let's get out of here.
00:50:00Come on.
00:50:12I'm going to wash my hands.
00:50:14I'll be right back.
00:50:26Do you hear me?
00:50:28Do you hear me?
00:50:30Do you hear me?
00:50:37Signor Dei.
00:51:00Signor Dei.
00:51:30Signor Dei.
00:52:00Here it is, Mr. Conway.
00:52:02Ah, nice work.
00:52:04Good boy.
00:52:05See, my message got to you all right, Muller.
00:52:07Let me tell you.
00:52:10Four hundred and fifty.
00:52:12Four hundred and fifty thousand.
00:52:15You have it for me, the passport?
00:52:16Yeah, I got it for you.
00:52:17You'll have to pick it up tomorrow.
00:52:19Hey, what did you call me for?
00:52:21I'm sick and tired.
00:52:23I have your studies after.
00:52:24I want to see you again.
00:52:25No trouble, baby.
00:52:31I'll see you tomorrow.
00:52:58Okay, get in there.
00:53:00Come on.
00:53:06Hi, amigo.
00:53:08That means friend.
00:53:09How'd you find out where I live?
00:53:11Newark telephone directory.
00:53:13I like a joke.
00:53:15That's what I miss most from the States.
00:53:17The comics and the radio.
00:53:19Now I listen in shortwave.
00:53:20I could be even funnier if you told this monkey to get his gun out of my back.
00:53:23Renzo, why sure.
00:53:25What are you doing here?
00:53:26I think Handsome here tried to hold me up last night.
00:53:29I want to find out why.
00:53:31He did, did he?
00:53:32Yeah, he's not very good at it.
00:53:34You can tell him from me that he even forgot to get the two bucks I had on me.
00:53:38I had a local talent.
00:53:39What do you expect?
00:53:40Did you think about my proposition?
00:53:42I'm still thinking about it.
00:53:44Okay, chum, if you think you can afford to wait, why, it's okay.
00:53:48What do you want from there?
00:53:50I want to talk to an old friend of mine.
00:53:51Who?
00:53:52You know.
00:53:53Ah, the Greek.
00:53:55I didn't know he was a friend of yours.
00:53:56Conway.
00:53:58Maybe you're beginning to see things, pal.
00:54:00My old man was like that.
00:54:02Liver trouble.
00:54:04Saw snakes.
00:54:06But don't kid yourself, I'm not sick.
00:54:08I see things the way they are.
00:54:10A wise guy, huh?
00:54:15You better take a walk, chum.
00:54:18Your pal, the bloodhound you left down there is getting heartburn.
00:54:22By the way, fella, remember, I don't like no snoopers.
00:54:27Okay, amica.
00:54:31Follow that guy.
00:54:38Hello, Marco Baldori.
00:54:40I didn't get very far away from you, did I?
00:54:42I didn't let you, Mr. Dean.
00:54:44Shall we go?
00:54:45Come on, I'll show you an easier way down.
00:54:47Easy.
00:54:48Yeah.
00:54:50This sure is an easier way.
00:54:52I wonder why my friend went up the back.
00:54:54Your guest is as good as mine.
00:54:57Really, I think it's the most wonderful place I've ever seen.
00:55:00I told you I'd be looking for my friend.
00:55:04So, you know the guy who lives up there, huh?
00:55:06Jack Conway.
00:55:08New Jersey City.
00:55:10Came here from New Jersey.
00:55:12He's got a house up there.
00:55:14He's got a house up there.
00:55:16He's got a house up there.
00:55:18Three years ago, evasion of taxes.
00:55:20You know just about everything, don't you?
00:55:22Grazie, signore.
00:55:24We try to.
00:55:26I thought you liked to eat. Aren't you getting hungry?
00:55:28I was just thinking about that.
00:55:30Come with me.
00:55:32We have soup de pesce and cannelloni.
00:55:34There's good vitello meat and mozzarella.
00:55:37You want to come?
00:55:38Sounds great.
00:55:39But all I want is a cup of coffee.
00:55:42I'll have a cup of coffee with you.
00:55:45This coffee I must have in private.
00:55:49Come in.
00:55:51Hi.
00:55:53I didn't expect you again today, Frankie.
00:55:56I came to get my coat.
00:55:58Oh, yes. It's right here.
00:56:02Hungry again?
00:56:05I could use a cup of coffee.
00:56:07Good idea.
00:56:09I'd like one myself.
00:56:13I'll have a cup of coffee with you.
00:56:15I'll have a cup of coffee with you.
00:56:17What gives between you and Conway?
00:56:20Conway?
00:56:22Your glasses.
00:56:25Why'd he slap you?
00:56:27How do you know?
00:56:29Your cheek's still ripe.
00:56:31If you must know, he's jealous.
00:56:33He heard I was with you last night.
00:56:35But you weren't.
00:56:37Yes, that's what I told the police.
00:56:39And he saw you leave here this morning and...
00:56:41Try again, baby.
00:56:43You can't make me believe you'd go for a tea break.
00:56:44You can't make me believe you'd go for a tea break.
00:56:46He's not your type.
00:56:48And you are?
00:56:50Let's not change the subject.
00:56:52That wallop he gave you was no love trap.
00:56:54What kind of racket are you two in?
00:56:59Sit down, Frankie.
00:57:01The coffee will take a minute.
00:57:03All right, tell me.
00:57:06Have you the right to ask?
00:57:07Have you the right to ask?
00:57:13No.
00:57:15I guess not.
00:57:18It's so good to be sitting here in this room with you.
00:57:22After this long time, Frankie.
00:57:27Right now...
00:57:30You are like you used to be.
00:57:33When you had on your uniform.
00:57:34Rough to the touch.
00:57:36With the smell of the cleaners.
00:57:39You and I were good for each other, baby.
00:57:41Oh, why didn't you say goodbye to me, Frankie?
00:57:44I couldn't. I got into trouble.
00:57:46Trouble?
00:57:48Yeah, army prison.
00:57:50They got me for selling things.
00:57:52Black market.
00:57:54Ah, where do you think all that money came from that I threw around?
00:57:57Oh, yes, you made a lot.
00:57:59Enough.
00:58:01And they got the money for you.
00:58:03And they got that too.
00:58:05Don't worry, baby.
00:58:13What's that?
00:58:17The coffee. A warning.
00:58:32Good night.
00:58:49He's been gone quite a while.
00:58:51You talk of arresting?
00:58:54This is a delicate question.
00:58:56You bring up Signore.
00:58:59He's a woman to be trusted.
00:59:02The Bible shows us to Eve.
00:59:05But what were her motives, the inducement of the apple
00:59:08that banished her and Adam from heaven?
00:59:12Curiosity?
00:59:14Deceit?
00:59:16Maybe she just wanted to make coat.
00:59:18Or a change of scenery.
00:59:21A boy.
00:59:23What time you got?
00:59:25Ten o'clock, precisely.
00:59:27Ten o'clock, huh?
00:59:29But her house is in your name.
00:59:30Buona notte.
00:59:32I suppose I'll see you in the morning, huh?
00:59:34Of course.
00:59:48Listen.
00:59:50For the information of the police, I'm in for the night.
00:59:52It's just after ten.
00:59:54I'm not the police spy, Signore.
00:59:56But Madame Day from America
00:59:58is here and asked to talk to you.
01:00:00Oh?
01:00:02Madame Day?
01:00:07Oh, are you Mr. Day?
01:00:09Yes.
01:00:11I'm Mrs. Robert Day.
01:00:13The concierge told me another person of the name of Day
01:00:15was staying in the hotel.
01:00:17And I thought it funny, two people of the same name.
01:00:20Yes, well, nice to meet your acquaintance.
01:00:22I'm from Providence, Rhode Island.
01:00:24Although my family originated from Kentucky.
01:00:26Of course.
01:00:28Of course, Day is not an unusual name.
01:00:30And it amuses me to think we might be related.
01:00:33I'm afraid not.
01:00:35I'm from Detroit.
01:00:37I don't think there's a branch of that family in Detroit.
01:00:39But you never can tell, can you?
01:00:41No.
01:00:43And may I inquire what you are doing in Amalfi, sir?
01:00:45Oh, I'm just seeing the sights.
01:00:47I thought perhaps you'd come
01:00:49to visit someone at the cemetery.
01:00:52No.
01:00:54Pietro, that's the caretaker,
01:00:55told me a young American called yesterday
01:00:57and gave him some money
01:00:59to put flowers on my son's grave.
01:01:01Bill was my son's name.
01:01:03Did the caretaker say who it was?
01:01:05No.
01:01:07He wouldn't tell me.
01:01:09Well, maybe it was some guy in your son's outfit.
01:01:13Perhaps.
01:01:15When the war ended,
01:01:17I came to Italy to be near Bill.
01:01:20You see, he was my only child.
01:01:22Were you in the war, sir?
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:26With the quartermasters.
01:01:28Oh, my Bill was an infantryman
01:01:30and he won ever so many decorations.
01:01:33But I'm sure you've many citations too, Mr. Day.
01:01:37The only one.
01:01:39That was when they discharged me.
01:01:41Oh, that's nice.
01:01:43It's the only way our country has
01:01:45of showing its gratitude
01:01:47to you brave boys.
01:01:49Yes.
01:01:50Well, I must be going.
01:01:52Nice to talk with you.
01:01:54Well, perhaps we can meet again tomorrow.
01:01:56Perhaps.
01:01:58Good night, Mrs. Day.
01:02:00Good night.
01:02:02I tell you who killed Bill's...
01:02:04Oh!
01:02:20Oh!
01:02:50Oh!
01:03:20Oh!
01:03:46Yes?
01:03:48It's me, Frankie.
01:03:51What's the matter?
01:03:53What are you doing here?
01:03:55Come to the back door.
01:03:57I want to talk with you, quick.
01:03:59All right.
01:04:17I'm getting out of town.
01:04:18Are you leaving?
01:04:20Yeah. You want to go with me?
01:04:22Can you get ready right away?
01:04:24You were always like that, Frankie.
01:04:26Quick like a wind in a hurry.
01:04:28I was sure I would like to.
01:04:30But the police, remember,
01:04:32they ordered you to stay.
01:04:34I don't like their invitation.
01:04:36Look, I don't have any papers.
01:04:38We'll need a car or something
01:04:40to get us across the border.
01:04:42Can you do anything about it?
01:04:44I don't know. It's so quick.
01:04:46It will take money.
01:04:48You're lying.
01:04:51Your friend Guido is dead in my room
01:04:53with a knife in his back.
01:04:55Guido dead?
01:04:57Why did you...
01:04:59No, no, not me.
01:05:01But the police think I did it.
01:05:03They got a five-bell alarm off me right now.
01:05:05That's why you wanted me to go away with you.
01:05:08You just wanted to use me
01:05:10to help you get out of this trouble.
01:05:12It's not true.
01:05:14How much you give me if I help you?
01:05:16How much do you want?
01:05:18How much do you have?
01:05:39Buona sera.
01:05:46Let me go.
01:05:48No, baby.
01:05:50Let's spend the money together.
01:05:52You'd forget me like you did before.
01:05:54No, I wouldn't.
01:05:56Not this time, believe me.
01:05:58You'd better not.
01:06:05I'll meet you in an hour.
01:06:07But not here.
01:06:09At the 66-kilometer mark
01:06:11around the road to Naples.
01:06:13At the 66-kilometer mark?
01:06:15Yes.
01:06:45Let's go.
01:06:46Elena.
01:07:17What a nice surprise.
01:07:21How are you?
01:07:23Why didn't you tell me?
01:07:25There's a lot of mess here.
01:07:27I'm sorry.
01:07:29A man without a woman who takes care of him.
01:07:31A man needs a woman.
01:07:34Would you like a glass of wine?
01:07:40Did you know Guido tonight?
01:07:42Yes.
01:07:44No one knows when they die.
01:07:47Moira.
