00:01:09Low pressure area is moving north, Brad.
00:01:11Thanks, Skipper.
00:01:12In about six months, I won't have to worry
00:01:14about schedules anymore.
00:01:15Are you still talking about that crazy idea of yours?
00:01:18What's crazy about flying to Manila?
00:01:20In the kind of plane you can get?
00:01:22In an ironing board with an electric fan on the front.
00:01:24I'm going places, my boy.
00:01:26You've got a long way to go yet, Dan.
00:01:29Well, Lindbergh started just where I did.
00:01:31Yeah, I know.
00:01:34There you are.
00:01:36Now can I see the hangers?
00:01:38Tommy, if you don't mind me, I'm going to...
00:01:39Tamper, tamper, tamper.
00:01:41Remember, the first rule of the air is to check the emotions.
00:01:44Yeah, make it the same as usual.
00:01:46Tommy, this is pilot Brad Shaw.
00:01:48He'll tell you nobody's allowed in the hangars.
00:01:50Brad, this is my brother.
00:01:51Oh, so you're pilot Brad Shaw.
00:01:53Well, I know all about you.
00:01:54How my public grows.
00:01:57All she does when she's home is talk about you.
00:01:58Oh, Tommy.
00:01:59Well, you do.
00:02:01I guess you're a pretty good pilot, though.
00:02:03Lady, that's a smart young brother you've got there.
00:02:05Now go straight home.
00:02:06Oh, gee.
00:02:10Oh, gee.
00:02:12How about some coffee?
00:02:13Please.
00:02:14Make us two, will you please?
00:02:16Now look, I got a line on a new backer today.
00:02:19No, who?
00:02:20I'll tell you about it after I've talked to him.
00:02:22I also got some new dope, too.
00:02:24You see how this wind comes down here west of Molokai?
00:02:28Well, I think we ought to cut south and then head for Manila.
00:02:31Oh, you mean we'd fly west and we'd reach longitude 160?
00:02:35Flight seven westbound to Los Angeles.
00:02:38Your plane will be ready in 10 minutes at gate two.
00:02:42Come on, slave.
00:02:44I'll be right with you.
00:02:46You think that over and see if you don't think
00:02:47this is a better plan, will you?
00:02:48Oh, come on, come on.
00:02:50OK, OK.
00:02:52I don't mind telling you that this fast life
00:02:54is really ruining my digestion.
00:02:55I'll be with you in a minute.
00:03:04Final passenger list, Spud.
00:03:06Give me the city desk.
00:03:07This is Spud Johnson speaking.
00:03:10Thanks, Jones.
00:03:11How goes it with Brad?
00:03:13Outside of flying, I don't think he knows I exist.
00:03:16He will, baby, he will.
00:03:18Better look that list over carefully.
00:03:20They'd know he's flying across with us.
00:03:22Holy case, Spud.
00:03:23You mean the movie producer?
00:03:24That's right.
00:03:26Oh, sourpuss, how's Trix?
00:03:29How's Trix?
00:03:30You've got a plane leaving in five minutes.
00:03:32Why didn't you let me know that big shot was on it?
00:03:35Who's on it?
00:03:36Miller, Dave Miller, the big movie producer who, say,
00:03:41you're supposed to be a press agent.
00:03:42You're supposed to be telling me.
00:03:44Now, listen, Eddie, you're getting
00:03:45yourself all excited over nothing.
00:03:47I saved you the trouble of sending a man down.
00:03:49I interviewed him myself, and I have his type statement
00:03:52right here in front of me.
00:03:54He said, uh, well, well, come on, come on.
00:03:59And he was very definite about it, too.
00:04:01He said, uh, there it is.
00:04:08Quote, this tobacco, uh, the picture of the future
00:04:12is a blend of several basic products,
00:04:14since we do not believe any one single source has
00:04:17all the necessary qualities for full richness.
00:04:20That's fine, Spud.
00:04:21We can give that thing a big spread.
00:04:24But I thought that I was a pal of yours.
00:04:27Why didn't you give me exclusive
00:04:29on that story of your own?
00:04:31What story?
00:04:32Your wife's just gotten a warrant for your arrest
00:04:35for nonpayment of that alimony.
00:04:37I understand the sheriff's on his way to see you now.
00:04:40Oh, he is, is he?
00:04:41Well, not if I see him first.
00:04:47Oh, I'll pass over my boy, and see
00:04:49if there's any change in the weather.
00:04:50And I'll inform you of my destination.
00:04:52OK.
00:04:53Well, I'll be down at the hotel,
00:04:54and I'll tell you when to call me.
00:04:55Tell me right away.
00:04:56Yes, sir.
00:04:58I'll handle it, Prob.
00:04:59Go for it.
00:05:00Go.
00:05:01Good luck.
00:05:03You go, Mr. Dance.
00:05:05You'll catch up with me.
00:05:06You'll see what the sheriff is up to.
00:05:08I know, I know, I know.
00:05:09You called.
00:05:10I'll catch up with him on your own.
00:05:11Well, I'll call you later, all right?
00:05:12I'll see you later, sir.
00:05:13Bye.
00:05:14I'll see you later, Mr. Dance.
00:05:15Good night.
00:05:16if there's any change in the weather ahead.
00:05:18Anything you say, Master.
00:05:19Anything you say.
00:05:22Flight seven to Los Angeles, calling El Paso.
00:05:29Hello there.
00:05:30Well, fancy meeting you here.
00:05:32How are you, Mr. Parker?
00:05:33Bill to you, I hope.
00:05:34Coffee, Mr. Bill?
00:05:35Yes, thanks.
00:05:37And I'll also take guests for an answer on a date with you tomorrow night.
00:05:40Of course, this is our community.
00:05:41Except social invitations and the passengers.
00:05:44I know, you've told me before.
00:05:45Rule 23.
00:05:48Just how many times does a passenger have to ask
00:05:50before a hostess breaks that rule?
00:05:52Seems to me I've asked on five trips so far.
00:05:54Thanks, but I can't really.
00:05:56Well, what do you do with your leisure?
00:05:58I fly.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Myself, I mean.
00:06:01I have 200 hours solo already.
00:06:03Splendid.
00:06:06What's the matter?
00:06:07Another radio message from Miller.
00:06:08Say, that guy must be Sam Parkinson.
00:06:11Well, he's to the movies when I am to aviation.
00:06:13You get it?
00:06:14Yeah.
00:06:15Right.
00:06:18Of course, I know it's a tough assignment to give her the right to Harry,
00:06:21but I think she'll be able to handle her.
00:06:23She was so easy to handle when she first started.
00:06:26What a difference now.
00:06:27Still, Diana Audray in our air picture will mean plenty at the box office.
00:06:32Worst of it is, she knows it.
00:06:34That's what makes her think she has the right to be temperamental.
00:06:36Well, you'll never get her to make this picture with Lane.
00:06:39Why not?
00:06:40Just because he's new?
00:06:42The only way I can build up a name for him is by teaming him with a star.
00:06:45You're right.
00:06:46And we can use some fresh faces.
00:06:52Did you gentlemen ring?
00:06:53Sure did, lady.
00:06:55Another radio message from Mr. Miller.
00:06:58How goes it, Brad?
00:07:00Oh, I can't complain, kittens. I really can't.
00:07:06You know, that's what I said in Gentleman, call a nice kid.
00:07:09Oh, so you noticed that too, did you?
00:07:11Bye.
00:07:14Radiogram for you, Mr. Miller.
00:07:15Oh, thank you.
00:07:22Now she's even howling about her costume.
00:07:25Says they conflict with her personality.
00:07:27I don't know what else an air hostess can wear other than an air hostess uniform.
00:07:31I can't see why she objects to that costume.
00:07:34It looks all right to me.
00:07:35What do you mean?
00:07:37The hostess.
00:07:39Oh, his first trip?
00:07:41Yes, he's teething too.
00:07:44I don't see anything wrong with it, do you?
00:07:49He seems to be enjoying it.
00:07:50Oh, he never cries.
00:07:52Except in my husband's sleep.
00:07:55God bless him.
00:07:58Now, wait a minute.
00:07:59The girl's got a nice quality here, eh?
00:08:01The hostess?
00:08:03She's got sparkle.
00:08:04Firm.
00:08:05I like her.
00:08:09Oh, hostess.
00:08:11Tell me, how long have you been flying?
00:08:13Why, about two years.
00:08:15You ever done anything else?
00:08:16Nursing. We have to be graduate nurses.
00:08:18Yes, I know.
00:08:19You ever tried in the acting?
00:08:21Oh, I know.
00:08:22Well, I don't think you'd make any mistake in trying.
00:08:24Oh, I wouldn't be any good at that.
00:08:26I have an idea that you have possibilities.
00:08:28And what's more, my government would be willing to pay to find out.
00:08:31You hear me?
00:08:32You come into the studio tomorrow and we'll talk about it.
00:08:35You are David Miller, aren't you?
00:08:37Yes.
00:08:38I'll tell you what I have in mind for you.
00:08:40We're starting an air picture very soon.
00:08:42And I have a notion that you'll fit very well into the second lead.
00:08:45But what about the...
00:08:47You mean the job?
00:08:48Yes.
00:08:49Oh, I think we can arrange a contract that will take care of that satisfactorily.
00:08:53We could start you at, say, 200 a week.
00:08:57Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:08:58It's quite all right.
00:09:00Sure, this is okay.
00:09:02Safe and sound and all the thrills of being a floor booker.
00:09:05I'm not going to stick to chauffeuring these flying rubbernecks all my life.
00:09:08No, sir.
00:09:10Brad, you're crazy as a hoot owl.
00:09:12Sure, but I have a lot of fun.
00:09:15Oh, you take all the time you want.
00:09:17When you've made up your mind, you come to the studio to see me.
00:09:19Here's my card.
00:09:21Oh, thanks, Mr. Miller.
00:09:23Oh, no, you scream as well as I think you're going to.
00:09:25I'll be thanking you.
00:09:27Oh, and here's your sandwich.
00:09:31Mary, you never can tell where you're going to find the stars of tomorrow.
00:09:35Bring up teaching. Tell him how we're doing, will you, pal?
00:09:38Flight seven to Los Angeles.
00:09:40Ten miles east of Big Springs.
00:09:42Ceiling unlimited. Visibility unlimited.
00:09:45Not a cow on the street.
00:10:06How are you, Woozie?
00:10:08Well, the king of the airways, Marshall Olley,
00:10:10reports another successful battle with storms and bad schedules.
00:10:14How's the town been behaving?
00:10:15It was all right till you blew in.
00:10:17What's the matter? Aren't you happy?
00:10:19No, we're just with joy.
00:10:21Here's your pay envelope.
00:10:23Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:24Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:26Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:27Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:28Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:30Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:31Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:33Oh, thank you, sir.
00:10:34Thanks, Woozie.
00:10:35Sign here.
00:10:36I'm leaving my box by mistake, Brad.
00:10:38They're all from women, and they're all the same.
00:10:40Mr. Bradshaw, would you please call? Please.
00:10:43How do you do it, Brad? Do you feed them caviar?
00:10:47Can I help it if I've got everything?
00:10:49Yeah, someday you're going to get hooked, too.
00:10:51No, sir. Marriages are made in heaven.
00:10:53So I'm safe.
00:10:55Yeah. Ann.
00:10:57Sissy. Dora. Kitty.
00:11:00And I can't even get a postcard from my own sister.
00:11:04Boy, I wish I had his sister.
00:11:20Hey, Tex, you seen Joan anywhere?
00:11:22Sure, as far as she blows off your port bow.
00:11:24Hey, Joan!
00:11:28I'm looking for a candidate, and you're it.
00:11:30Candidate?
00:11:31Yes, you see, I just got some great news, and I need somebody to celebrate with.
00:11:33And who do I run into but the one girl for the assignment?
00:11:35Oh, Brad, I'm awfully glad.
00:11:37What is it?
00:11:38Tell you tonight, kittens.
00:11:39I've got some news, too.
00:11:40See, it just goes to show you how lucky you are.
00:11:42I might have asked you to somebody else instead of you.
00:11:54Told you, I've got big news to celebrate tonight, and you wanted to order a beer.
00:11:58Well, champagne's expensive.
00:12:00That's a word we're going to forget.
00:12:02Yes, sir.
00:12:05Here you are, kittens.
00:12:06Thanks.
00:12:07Here you are, Mom. Keep the change.
00:12:11What have you done? Inherited a fortune?
00:12:13That's the general idea.
00:12:15Least serious of value for a minute, Brad.
00:12:17Pardon me. You ordered champagne, sir?
00:12:19Yes, I certainly did.
00:12:23Wonderful stuff, this champagne.
00:12:25What is the big news, Brad? Tell me.
00:12:28Honey child, I really got something to celebrate.
00:12:30Hope everything will be all right, sir.
00:12:35Now, what is the big news? Tell me.
00:12:37All right, all right. Be patient.
00:12:39I've got to build up to a gradual life.
00:12:42Well, then I'll tell you something first.
00:12:44I've just been offered a movie contract.
00:12:46No.
00:12:47A part in Andre's new picture and a contract.
00:12:52How much they offer you?
00:12:53Two hundred a week.
00:13:01Only two hundred, huh?
00:13:04Last night I was so excited, I didn't dare to think.
00:13:07But let's not talk about me.
00:13:09Here's to your big news.
00:13:13Now tell me, what is it?
00:13:16Oh, it's nothing much.
00:13:18Really doesn't amount to anything.
00:13:22Come on, let's dance.
00:13:30Come on.
00:13:44Well, then what do you think I ought to do about this movie offer?
00:13:47Oh, well, I don't know.
00:13:50I wasn't thinking about that. That's a lot of money, all right.
00:13:53Brad, would you...
00:13:55I mean, do you think the gang would miss me?
00:14:00You know how it is. Out of sight, out of mind.
00:14:03Kittens, I wouldn't try to tell you what to do, but...
00:14:05Gosh, I wouldn't take a job on the ground for anything.
00:14:08Of course, with a girl it's different, but...
00:14:11Gee, I wouldn't take all the movies made in Hollywood...
00:14:14for an old jelly with a sewing machine to run the propeller.
00:14:24Yes?
00:14:25Who?
00:14:26Oh, yes, I'll talk to her.
00:14:27No, Harry, I'm afraid you'll have to have them redesigned these sets.
00:14:29Okay, Dave, I'll take it up with him.
00:14:30All right. Hello.
00:14:32Oh, hello, Miss Lawson. How are you?
00:14:34I've made up my mind, Mr. Miller.
00:14:36You have? Good.
00:14:37Well, then come out sometime tomorrow.
00:14:39We'll talk about making a fest.
00:14:41No, I've my mind to stick to flying.
00:14:44Well, I...
00:14:45I must say that I'm surprised.
00:14:49I know I must sound silly to you.
00:14:52You must like flying an awful lot...
00:14:54to be willing to pass up an opportunity like this.
00:14:57Yes.
00:14:58I do.
00:15:00Oh, come in, Diana.
00:15:01I'm sorry too, Miss Lawson.
00:15:03But I still think you're making a mistake.
00:15:05Goodbye.
00:15:07Hello, David.
00:15:08Hello, Diana. Come in. Sit down.
00:15:12Cigarette?
00:15:13How are things down in Malibu?
00:15:15Barny, I guess.
00:15:17I'm glad you came in.
00:15:19I wonder if you are, David.
00:15:21Yes, of course I am.
00:15:24I wanted to talk with you about Sky Fever.
00:15:26Do you like the story?
00:15:28Oh, I like the story very much.
00:15:30Good. Then we'll start shooting right away.
00:15:32No, we won't.
00:15:34Now, look here, Diana.
00:15:35I thought when I got back, I'd find you'd gotten over your tantrum.
00:15:38It's not a tantrum. It's a decision.
00:15:40Hello?
00:15:42Oh, it's for you.
00:15:45Hello?
00:15:47Oh, yes. Donald.
00:15:49Hello, Diana.
00:15:50I thought we were doing anything tonight.
00:15:52Well, maybe we could...
00:15:53I'm sorry. I'll be busy.
00:15:55Yes, I'll be busy then, too.
00:15:59Well, that's what I thought. Goodbye.
00:16:04I brought you along this far.
00:16:05Why don't you trust my judgment now?
00:16:08I won't let Lane play opposite me,
00:16:10and that's final, David.
00:16:12But why not? Just because he's new?
00:16:14Why, I think it'll be the finest thing in the world.
00:16:16No.
00:16:17He's a washout.
00:16:18He has any more personality than a post office pimp,
00:16:20and he can't act.
00:16:22You'll let me be the best judge of that.
00:16:25I won't do a picture with him, and that's final.
00:16:29Diana, I hate to say this,
00:16:30but I've got to remind you
00:16:31that there's a little slip of paper that you signed.
00:16:33Remember?
00:16:34You mean the contract?
00:16:36Yes, the contract,
00:16:37which provides that we have the final decision
00:16:39in casting your pictures.
00:16:40It also provides that I can disapprove of stories.
00:16:43Yes, but you've already said that.
00:16:45Aha, but not in writing, David.
00:16:48Disapprove Lane,
00:16:49or I will not approve the story.
00:16:51Oh, yes, you will.
00:16:54You forget that Stanton is the president of this company,
00:16:56and that my original deal was with him.
00:17:00I am in charge of production.
00:17:02I give the orders here.
00:17:03Stanton promised me personally
00:17:05I would not have to play opposite Lane.
00:17:08Unfortunately, he's in New York,
00:17:10and can't be reached by phone.
00:17:11I know, because I don't have his number.
00:17:13Then you'll have to wait until I get back.
00:17:15I'm leaving for New York.
00:17:20Madam, it's impossible.
00:17:21All planes are grounded by fog and storm.
00:17:26Of course, I believe you could,
00:17:27but it wouldn't make any difference
00:17:29if you paid $1,000.
00:17:33Lady, if you were the queen of Sheba,
00:17:35we could not fly you out of here tonight.
00:17:38Hello, Lucy?
00:17:39Oh, what are you doing over there?
00:17:41Hello, Lucy?
00:17:42Oh, what are you doing on the coast?
00:17:44The little woman has a fever again.
00:17:47Oh, women, women, women.
00:17:50Oh, go ahead, madam.
00:17:51I'm listening, go ahead.
00:17:52Yes, yes.
00:17:53I rate Dame demand service, eh?
00:17:55Just to call her name's Diana Audrey, she thinks...
00:17:57Diana Audrey?
00:17:58Out of my way.
00:18:00Hello, Miss Audrey.
00:18:01This is Mr. Johnson speaking.
00:18:03Yes, I'm the vice president of this line.
00:18:05Yes, clerks are clerks, Miss Audrey.
00:18:08Now, tell me what I can do for you.
00:18:10You crazy nut.
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12Oh, certainly, of course.
00:18:13I'll attend to it myself.
00:18:15We'll have a plane ready for you in an hour.
00:18:17Oh, no, no.
00:18:18It's a pleasure.
00:18:19You double-barrel blithering idiotic fool.
00:18:22Spud, what are you doing out here?
00:18:23Oh, hello, Brad.
00:18:24I came out here on a matter of business,
00:18:26and it looks as if...
00:18:27Oh, hey, Tootsie,
00:18:28will you get me the home office on long distance?
00:18:30I want to speak to the general manager.
00:18:32We're organizing a little party tonight, Spud,
00:18:34and you're on it.
00:18:35Now, wait a minute.
00:18:36Hold it, my pal.
00:18:37I think I might have a little job of flying for you to do.
00:18:39Oh, no, no.
00:18:40We've got places to go and things to see.
00:18:44Hello, Mr. Gray.
00:18:45This is Spud Johnson.
00:18:48This is Topps.
00:18:49Diana Audrey, the biggest name in pictures,
00:18:51will be here in an hour,
00:18:53and that new speed cabin job is here.
00:18:56We can't send a plane up in the weather you have out there.
00:18:59But it's news.
00:19:00If a movie star races across the country
00:19:02and sets a new record
00:19:03and happens to do it in one of our planes,
00:19:06I wouldn't approve it if you argued a thousand years,
00:19:09and that's final.
00:19:16How long have we been flying?
00:19:18Thirty-five minutes.
00:19:22Look, if you want to sit up here
00:19:23instead of back there where you belong,
00:19:24keep your hands off the wheel, please.
00:19:26Oh, sorry.
00:19:29You're a good pilot, aren't you?
00:19:30Put it conservatively, I am.
00:19:33I hope you are, because it seems terribly rough tonight.
00:19:35Yep, it is.
00:19:38Get your hands off me.
00:19:40Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:46What time is it, pilot?
00:19:50Oh, 9.20.
00:19:54I hate to keep on calling you pilot all the time.
00:19:56It's really informal.
00:19:59I, uh, notice your initial is M.
00:20:02Yeah, it is.
00:20:03M for Nebuchadnezzar.
00:20:05It's a foreign name.
00:20:07It's an odd name.
00:20:09Yeah, it's Arabian for Nebuchadnezzar.
00:20:12So you really are a human being, aren't you?
00:20:15And a very superior one, madam.
00:20:17I didn't mean to be a smart aleck back there,
00:20:19but that was a pretty rough stretch of weather,
00:20:21and I'm a fellow that just can't fly and talk at the same time.
00:20:24I'm sorry.
00:20:26You know, I've seen a lot of your pictures.
00:20:28And did you like them?
00:20:29Yes, I did.
00:20:31There's something I always wondered about, though,
00:20:33in those final scenes.
00:20:35What was that?
00:20:37Well, I was wondering if kissing you
00:20:39was half as exciting as it looked.
00:20:42I, uh, wouldn't be able to answer that.
00:20:46Oh, no, you wouldn't, would you?
00:20:48Do you mind if I find out?
00:20:53I'm afraid I do.
00:20:56Yeah, I don't like the sound of that motor.
00:21:00Is there anything wrong?
00:21:01No, no, no, everything's all right.
00:21:03I hope.
00:21:12Kansas City to Bradshaw.
00:21:13Kansas City to Bradshaw.
00:21:15Kansas City to Bradshaw.
00:21:18Hello, give me the press room.
00:21:25Due to the extraordinary country-wide interest
00:21:27in the disappearance of Diana Audrey and her pilot,
00:21:29Neil Bradshaw,
00:21:30we interrupt this national broadcast
00:21:32to bring you the latest bulletin on the search for them.
00:21:34Radio.
00:21:35Any word from Bradshaw?
00:21:37No word from Bradshaw yet.
00:21:39I told that little bitch not to send a plane out.
00:21:43Kansas City to Bradshaw.
00:21:44Kansas City to Bradshaw.
00:21:46Anything yet on Diana Audrey?
00:21:48Keep checking all the airports and all the radio stations.
00:21:51Hello.
00:21:52This is Joan Lawson speaking.
00:21:54Have you heard anything on Neil Bradshaw yet?
00:21:57Nothing at all.
00:21:59I was told that a lame-brained half-wit named Johnson is there.
00:22:03You want it on the phone.
00:22:04Sound like bad news?
00:22:06Well, I think you've caught exactly complimentary.
00:22:08I left for China an hour ago.
00:22:11Mr. Johnson isn't here.
00:22:13Highway Patrol.
00:22:15This is Stiles Mayberry of Orchard Corner.
00:22:18I thought I'd call you fellas up.
00:22:20The road's washing out a little above the bluff.
00:22:23Behind Mayberry Pass.
00:22:25Yes.
00:22:26When you go up there, you might take a look beyond Pine Hill.
00:22:30My wife says she's seen another plane or something coming down.
00:22:35But you'd better look at the roads first.
00:22:38Hold it for a minute.
00:22:39We just got a flash.
00:22:40Get out everything you've got on Audrey.
00:22:41OK, boss.
00:22:42Come on, you guys.
00:22:43I don't care if you have to go by dog sled.
00:22:44Get up there.
00:22:45Audrey's name says newspapers.
00:22:47The road's out.
00:22:48China a plane.
00:22:49Now get going.
00:22:53Well, boys, if she's safe, she's got a million dollars worth of publicity.
00:22:55And she's doubled her audience interest with an air story for her next picture.
00:22:58Boss, that's the kind of publicity press agents dream about.
00:23:03And you reported that you sighted the plane rushing into clearing.
00:23:05Press, camera, and newsreel men are already on their way to this remote mountainside.
00:23:15They're here.
00:23:16Well, they better be.
00:23:17Or I ain't gonna let this thing down the hill again.
00:23:19Mr. Bradshaw.
00:23:21Mr. Bradshaw.
00:23:26Hiya, Bradshaw.
00:23:27We sure had a hard time finding you.
00:23:29Do you mind coming out and giving the newsreel and reporters a little break?
00:23:31Not a bit.
00:23:32Be right there.
00:23:33All right.
00:23:34All right, boys.
00:23:35Get your cameras ready right now.
00:23:36Glad to see you, boys.
00:23:39This is your talking reporter interviewing Audrey and pilot Bradshaw.
00:23:43Hello, folks.
00:23:44There really isn't very much to tell.
00:23:46We were forced down the side of that ridge and blew out both tires and weren't able to
00:23:50take off again and, well, here we are.
00:23:54Tell us.
00:23:55Were you scared?
00:23:56Oh, not in the least, were we?
00:23:58Well, I'll have to admit I was a little scared, yeah.
00:24:00Well, tell me.
00:24:01How'd you happen to find this shack in the storm?
00:24:03Well, we were just lucky and stumbled onto the trail, that's all.
00:24:06Oh, what pilot Bradshaw failed to mention was his heroism.
00:24:08Now, we were on the other side of the ridge.
00:24:10Hey, hey, forget it.
00:24:11Oh, my Brad.
00:24:14Folks, this is really a big fuss over nothing.
00:24:16The motor conked and we pancaked and then hiked to the cabin and, uh, I, uh, then, well, I, uh...
00:24:23Come on, let's get out of here.
00:24:25Thanks, Miss Audrey.
00:24:26Come here, Paul.
00:24:27Come on, let's get this bag.
00:24:29I know you have no way to get back.
00:24:32Look out, boys.
00:24:33Here he comes.
00:24:34All together now.
00:24:35Hail the conquering hero!
00:24:36Come!
00:24:37Oh, Braddy.
00:24:38Our hero.
00:24:39Did great big hero rescue beautiful movie actress?
00:24:42Just let me touch you.
00:24:44That's very funny.
00:24:45I don't think.
00:24:46What's the matter, Braddy?
00:24:47Can't our little hero take it?
00:24:52This scene is typical of the South Seas.
00:24:54The islands of music and romance.
00:24:56Peace and happiness.
00:24:57We'll be flying right over that spot someday, kittens.
00:25:00Yes, together.
00:25:02Shh.
00:25:03Can't hear the music.
00:25:06One of the most interesting air adventures of recent times was the safe landing made by pilot Bradshaw,
00:25:11while Diana Audrey was his only passenger.
00:25:13Well, hello, folks.
00:25:15There really isn't very much to tell.
00:25:17We forced down on the other side of that ridge and blew out both tires and weren't able to take off again.
00:25:22And, well, here we are.
00:25:25Well, tell me.
00:25:26How'd you happen to find this shack in the storm?
00:25:28Well, we were just lucky and stumbled onto the trail, that's all.
00:25:31Oh, what pilot Bradshaw failed to mention was his heroism.
00:25:33Now, we were on the other side of the river.
00:25:35Hey, hey, forget it.
00:25:36Oh, my Brad.
00:25:39Folks, this is really a big fuss over nothing.
00:25:41The motor conked and we pancaked and then hiked to the cabin and, uh, I, uh, then, well, I, uh...
00:25:48Come on, let's get out of here.
00:25:50Come on, let's go.
00:25:52All right.
00:25:53Hey, we ain't seen the Mickey Mouse yet.
00:25:55Be quiet, Tommy.
00:25:57Well, my life ain't my own.
00:25:59Come on.
00:26:12We have all the earmarks of a flop in the making, if you ask me.
00:26:17I've never had a failure.
00:26:18There's always a first time.
00:26:20I don't have to listen to this sort of talk.
00:26:22Stop arguing, you two.
00:26:23That'll never get us anywhere.
00:26:24We're here to decide on what to do.
00:26:26Simply lane out of the picture.
00:26:28Yes, and get who?
00:26:29I'll tell you who to get.
00:26:30Who?
00:26:31Neil Bradshaw.
00:26:32Neil what?
00:26:33Bradshaw.
00:26:34The airplane pilot?
00:26:35No, the actor.
00:26:37So I never heard of him.
00:26:38What do you mean?
00:26:39I mean simply this.
00:26:40Bradshaw, the pilot, has ten times the personality of Lane,
00:26:43and he made twice the actor.
00:26:45Don't come down to us, Dinah.
00:26:46This is serious.
00:26:47But I am serious.
00:26:48You realize the publicity value of using his name with mine in a picture now?
00:26:52Why, it's like telling me to pick a man off the street.
00:26:54It's silly.
00:26:55It's the most sensible thing that's been said here yet.
00:26:58But it'll take weeks.
00:26:59Where's the time for tests?
00:27:00We have tests already.
00:27:01What tests?
00:27:02Where?
00:27:03We have miles of tests.
00:27:05What tests?
00:27:06Where?
00:27:07We have miles of newsreel shots of him.
00:27:08Couldn't want better tests.
00:27:10And I think he'd fit the part beautifully.
00:27:12Let's go to an orphanage, adopt an actor, and raise him.
00:27:18Wait a minute, Harry.
00:27:20If the man has got something,
00:27:21it'll be the slickest showmanship stunt in years to team him.
00:27:25Mr. Miller, get me all the clips on the ordinary newsreel airstop right away.
00:27:30Yeah, projection room five, and hurry.
00:27:32I'm coming, Harry.
00:27:33No, I think I'll sit this one out.
00:27:38Wait a minute.
00:27:39Wait a minute.
00:27:40Personal call for you.
00:27:42Me?
00:27:43Yeah, I'll take over.
00:27:44Okay, you got it?
00:27:45Yeah.
00:27:47Hello?
00:27:48Ratchaw?
00:27:50This is David Miller, the producer at Empire Studios.
00:27:54Oh, yeah?
00:27:55Well, this is Shirley Temple, the ape.
00:27:58Now listen, you wise guys,
00:27:59a gag's a gag, but I'm getting tired of it.
00:28:01So go buy yourself some roppers
00:28:02and play in somebody else's backyard, will you?
00:28:05Hello?
00:28:06Hello?
00:28:09Boys will play, huh?
00:28:10Yeah, they still think it's funny to use that bratty stuff.
00:28:13I guess I'll have to send a wire to Neil Bradshaw.
00:28:16Kid, see if there's another photo of that new plane in there.
00:28:19Aye, aye, sir.
00:28:20Hold it, Eddie. I'm looking.
00:28:24Uh-uh.
00:28:25The other drawer.
00:28:26That is the shellacking file.
00:28:29There.
00:28:30It's in there, I think.
00:28:31Yeah.
00:28:32Yes, Eddie, I got it.
00:28:34I'm sending it over with the boy, Eddie.
00:28:36Oh, yeah, that's swell, Eddie.
00:28:38Oh, sure.
00:28:39Okay, Eddie.
00:28:40Goodbye, Eddie.
00:28:42That was Bill.
00:28:44The shellacking file, eh?
00:28:46Bud, give me the key to that drawer.
00:28:48All right, here's the key.
00:28:51I haven't touched a drop of that giggle water in years.
00:28:55That's exclusively for the visiting fireman.
00:28:57Listen, kid.
00:28:58I've got a stunt cooked up with Eddie to land a helicopter on the governor's lawn.
00:29:02And you're looking for a candidate?
00:29:03How about it?
00:29:04Oh, no.
00:29:05Brad will be here in a second.
00:29:06We have three days off, and we want to use every minute period.
00:29:09I know.
00:29:10The Manila flight.
00:29:12Hiya, Brad.
00:29:13Howdy, howdy.
00:29:14Hello.
00:29:15Kittens.
00:29:16Spud, take a look at this.
00:29:17Is that something or not?
00:29:22This is really the tops when you see it.
00:29:24Oh, Brad, did you get it?
00:29:26Oh, Brad, did you get a new backer for the Manila flight?
00:29:28Oh, it's bigger than that, right or not, Spud?
00:29:30It's big, all right.
00:29:32Well, Brad, what is it?
00:29:33Don't stand there like a spaceman.
00:29:34I'm dying of curiosity.
00:29:35Lady, you're looking at real wealth.
00:29:36I just okayed a movie contract.
00:29:39Movie contract?
00:29:40Yeah, $500 a week.
00:29:41What do you think of it?
00:29:48Well, I think it's grand, Brad.
00:29:51It'll take me ten years to earn that kind of dough here, if ever.
00:29:53Yes, sir, Lady Luck's perching right on my shoulder.
00:29:57She certainly is.
00:29:59Colossalific, that's what it is.
00:30:01Just goes to show you never know what's coming your way, do you?
00:30:04Hey, Brad, there's a reporter from the Times to see you.
00:30:07All right, Mac, I'll be right with you.
00:30:09There you are, my public.
00:30:11See you later.
00:30:16I'm sorry, kid.
00:30:18For what?
00:30:20It's my fault.
00:30:21If I hadn't started that dizzy publicity stunt with Diana Audrey,
00:30:24it'd never have happened.
00:30:26Forget it.
00:30:29Means a lot to you, that goof, doesn't he?
00:30:33I don't know why.
00:30:35Yeah, but I know.
00:30:38What a bright little genius I am.
00:30:41Spud.
00:30:42Yeah?
00:30:43Unlock the photos.
00:30:45Unlock them?
00:30:47I think I can stand one myself.
00:30:49Huh?
00:30:51Oh.
00:30:53Oh, sure.
00:30:59Spud, if that helicopter stunt is still open, I'll take it.
00:31:16You can go now, Edwards. I won't be needing you anymore today.
00:31:19Yes, ma'am.
00:31:20Hello, Diana.
00:31:22Hello, Donald.
00:31:23Have a peanut?
00:31:24No, thank you.
00:31:26I've been waiting an hour for you.
00:31:28I thought maybe if you weren't doing anything tonight that we could...
00:31:31I'm sorry, I'm busy.
00:31:33Oh, sure. Well, how about maybe we could go out...
00:31:36Goodbye, Donald.
00:31:37Goodbye, Diana.
00:31:41Well, Diana, what do you think of it?
00:31:43It's simply gorgeous.
00:31:45Just a little bagatelle I picked up.
00:31:47Where do you see the Sunday job, though?
00:31:48You're really putting it on.
00:31:50Why not? Studio tore up the old contract, wrote a new one into bigger figure.
00:31:54Oh, that's grand. I'm glad, Brad.
00:31:56Very much afraid I'm going to be a success, thanks to you.
00:31:59Oh, forget it.
00:32:00Want to go for a ride?
00:32:01I'd love it.
00:32:02Come on.
00:32:03Oh.
00:32:09Tommy, what are you doing here?
00:32:11Didn't I tell you to stay out of the hangars?
00:32:13Shh.
00:32:14He's in there.
00:32:16Who?
00:32:17It's Spud. He's bathing somebody.
00:32:19Bathing somebody? What do you mean?
00:32:21Well, that's what he told me, anyway.
00:32:23He said he was ducking alimony and not to let anybody come in.
00:32:28Tommy, you go home.
00:32:30Oh, gee whiz, sis.
00:32:45Enter, madame.
00:32:48Wow.
00:32:50Nice little spot you have here, Spud.
00:32:52Have to take a long lease?
00:32:54The sheriff was staging a sit-down strike in my office, so I moved in here.
00:32:58Say, that helicopter gag was dynamite.
00:33:01Get a load of those clippings, will you, while I attend to my cooking.
00:33:04I have things on the stove.
00:33:06Imagine all this attention for that silly little flight I...
00:33:18Now, if I do say so myself,
00:33:20that's the best play any yarn has gotten locally in months.
00:33:23Yes, it's funny, isn't it?
00:33:24Funny? What do you mean, funny?
00:33:26Why, that...
00:33:28Oh, I'm sorry, Joan.
00:33:30I didn't mean for you to see that.
00:33:32It's all right.
00:33:34Still thinking about him, eh?
00:33:36I suppose I'm a fool, Spud.
00:33:38But I just can't help it.
00:33:40Well, I'm not the man to criticize anybody for the lack of willpower.
00:33:44But I wouldn't take this thing backing down.
00:33:47What do you mean?
00:33:49Dough and glory!
00:33:51Open your soup and stop talking riddles.
00:33:53Now, listen. You've got places to go.
00:33:55And we're going to show some people we know a trick or two.
00:33:58Why, with your looks and my brains and the way you can fly,
00:34:02in six months I'll make you...
00:34:04I wonder who that is.
00:34:05Oh, it must be Thomas.
00:34:06I'll let him in.
00:34:08Come in, Squirt.
00:34:10This is the chance I've been waiting for.
00:34:12Oh, hello, Mr. Gray.
00:34:18I trust I'm not intruding.
00:34:20Of course, I'm only the man who signs your paychecks.
00:34:24But I wonder if you would mind telling me what you're doing here.
00:34:28I was just testing the livableness of our plane.
00:34:32You know, to make sure that the stove would work
00:34:35and to see if the seats were comfortable and everything.
00:34:37And, well, everything is fine.
00:34:38You know the company rules, Miss Lawson.
00:34:41What are you doing here?
00:34:43Why, I...
00:34:45It's all right. She was just helping me out.
00:34:47Turn in your uniform.
00:34:49Hey, wait a minute. You can't do that.
00:34:51You fire her and that goes for me, too.
00:34:53That's fine.
00:34:55I was just going to get to you in a moment.
00:34:57You can both pick up your checks at the cashier's office.
00:35:04But you shouldn't have done that.
00:35:06No.
00:35:08But it's a great break.
00:35:10Now I can spend all my time building you up.
00:35:13Never did like that guy anyway.
00:35:15No imagination.
00:35:18I was just about to tell you before Skirk came in
00:35:21that when you make that flight to test the new speed motor...
00:35:25What flight?
00:35:27Evening papers will tell you all about it, baby.
00:35:29Here, let me do that. Give me a little room.
00:35:33Consomme.
00:35:38Consomme.
00:35:54Anything on that plane that's down in Wyoming?
00:35:56Not yet.
00:35:58Joe, baby, listen.
00:36:00Rocky Mountain Airlines has a plane down somewhere in Wyoming.
00:36:02I just got the word from Eddie here.
00:36:04Now listen, get in a plane and fly that route and try to find it.
00:36:06I'll have stories on the wires in half an hour.
00:36:09Okay, kid. Good luck.
00:36:11Give us a good break on this, will you?
00:36:22Lawson to Denver. Lawson to Denver.
00:36:24Just found a Rocky Mountain plane in an isolated valley.
00:36:27It appears undamaged.
00:36:29We'll try to land and give first aid.
00:36:31Stand by for further information.
00:36:51Back to Malibu.
00:36:53But I'm tired of Malibu.
00:36:55But we're meeting everyone there and then going to the Lido.
00:36:57Tired of the Lido, too.
00:37:01I've got a better idea.
00:37:03New place?
00:37:04Not exactly.
00:37:06What about the others?
00:37:08That little detail has been attended to.
00:37:10Good.
00:37:30Hey, do you see what I see?
00:37:31Well, you're my pick.
00:37:34I like this place, Brad.
00:37:36That's fine, I thought you would.
00:37:38Want to dance?
00:37:40No, I've got to have my drink first.
00:37:42Would Mr. Brad Shardane to dance with a mere actress?
00:37:44He wouldn't and he will.
00:37:46You don't mind, do you, dear?
00:37:48Well, of course not, darling.
00:37:50You know, she was very into it the first day.
00:37:52Hello, Diana.
00:37:54Hello, Donald.
00:37:56I wouldn't have bothered you for anything in the world,
00:37:58but I happened to come out here to see some friends off
00:37:59and I noticed you here,
00:38:01so I thought I'd come over and see if,
00:38:03well, if maybe you weren't doing anything tomorrow night,
00:38:05that maybe we could go out...
00:38:07I'm sorry, Donald, I'm busy.
00:38:09Oh, sure.
00:38:11Well, thanks anyway.
00:38:13You're welcome.
00:38:15Hiya, Brad.
00:38:17Hello, Tex, how are you?
00:38:19What's Pride of Hollywood doing out here?
00:38:21Just slumming.
00:38:23Plenty of room in the pew.
00:38:25Why don't you boys join us?
00:38:30Thanks very much, that was a lot of fun.
00:38:33Oh, Brad, I hear our premiere's a sellout.
00:38:36Gee, that's wonderful, isn't it?
00:38:38I think so.
00:38:40Hello, Spud, how are you?
00:38:42Hello, Brad.
00:38:44Gee, what are you doing out here?
00:38:46Oh, just a little unofficial business.
00:38:48Diana, this is Spud Johnson.
00:38:50Mr. Johnson? Oh, I've met you over the telephone.
00:38:52Oh, yeah, we've met.
00:38:54Pull up a chair, Spud, and join us.
00:38:56Oh, thanks.
00:38:57How's your day up there?
00:38:59I don't know, I guess it feels pretty good.
00:39:01Sort of wondered.
00:39:03Didn't hear from you or anything.
00:39:05Well, you know how it is, Spud.
00:39:07You get busy in one thing or another.
00:39:09Yeah, thought you might be going a little bit high hat or something.
00:39:11Oh, don't make me laugh, Spud.
00:39:13You and me?
00:39:15I don't mean me.
00:39:17Well, I don't get you.
00:39:19I mean Joan.
00:39:21Oh, did she fly in with you?
00:39:23No.
00:39:24How is she, Spud?
00:39:25I've got my own idea about what.
00:39:27Well, I sort of feel responsible for...
00:39:29Well, you two wouldn't have broken up
00:39:31if it hadn't been for that stunt I started.
00:39:33Well, that flight you made with...
00:39:36If you'd rather talk about this privately, why, it's all right.
00:39:39Don't be silly, Diana.
00:39:41Why don't you snap out of it, Spud?
00:39:43Well, on second thought, Bernhardt,
00:39:45maybe you'd better leave us alone.
00:39:47Listen, Spud, pipe down, will you?
00:39:49Brad, please.
00:39:51I'm sorry, Spud, I didn't mean anything.
00:39:53Forget it, will you?
00:39:55I'm sorry I'm not taking you away from your friends.
00:39:57Don't be silly.
00:40:01It is getting late.
00:40:03How about dinner with me tomorrow night?
00:40:05Also Tuesday and Wednesday.
00:40:07Don't you think a working girl ought to lead a quieter life?
00:40:09Not when she can go out with me.
00:40:11I really had better go in.
00:40:14Well, Joan.
00:40:16Do you mind if I tell you
00:40:18I'd rather be with you than anybody I know?
00:40:20Thanks.
00:40:22I had a lovely evening, too.
00:40:23Oh, don't bother to get out.
00:40:25It's only a few steps.
00:40:27Now, Joan, don't get formal again.
00:40:29I'm not. Only I, uh...
00:40:31You what?
00:40:33I must go in. Please, Bill.
00:40:35Tell your dad I'll give the ship another test
00:40:37next week before the race.
00:40:39All right. See you at the field.
00:40:41Good night.
00:40:43Good night.
00:40:45Well, here we are, safe and sound.
00:40:47Home again.
00:40:49Gee, Diana, you're a funny person.
00:40:51What do you mean by that?
00:40:53I'm afraid I'm rather easy to understand, Brad.
00:40:57Gee, this is like that movie scene we played today.
00:41:00Moonlight, automobile, you and me.
00:41:03And you and me.
00:41:07Don't you think the scene ought to end the same way?
00:41:10You're the director this time.
00:41:24That wasn't in the picture.
00:41:26Honey, this is an added scene.
00:41:38I hope you're going to like my new picture.
00:41:40And I know you're going to like my new leading role.
00:41:42May I introduce him?
00:41:44Mr. Neil Bradshaw.
00:41:46Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
00:41:48Well, I've walked up and down Hollywood Boulevard
00:41:50a good many times,
00:41:51but this is the first time I've ever walked up to a theater
00:41:53and seen my name in lights.
00:41:55And I don't mind admitting it's a thrill.
00:42:52Joan, he's in fourth place.
00:42:54Got a cigarette, Dad?
00:43:01Great Scott, but she's cutting those pilots close.
00:43:22Look, Dad, she's cutting them down.
00:43:24Right.
00:43:26Joan, but that plane isn't handling well.
00:43:29Wish her luck, Mr. Parker.
00:43:31I hope your plane does it.
00:43:33Thanks, Fredo.
00:43:35And if we win, the Army ought to give our plan another order.
00:43:37Do our best.
00:43:46She's in running!
00:43:51Yes, she's done it!
00:43:55Parker planes win again.
00:43:57Joan Lawson is a great pilot
00:43:59and a great salesman for Parker planes.
00:44:03The crowd is mobbing the whole everything.
00:44:05I'm going to try to get Joan to say a few words for you.
00:44:07Here she is.
00:44:09Oh, I'm too excited and tired to say very much now.
00:44:11It was a wonderful race,
00:44:13and I'm terribly happy I won.
00:44:15Bill, I like her idea for a trans-Pacific flight.
00:44:18I'm going to back her to beat the Clippers.
00:44:19To Manila?
00:44:21A non-stop solo.
00:44:23To the Philippines.
00:44:26You've got to lay the law down to Bradshaw, Dave.
00:44:28I think you're exaggerating a bit, eh?
00:44:30Oh, oh.
00:44:32I am, am I?
00:44:34When he wants to lease a home in Beverly Hills
00:44:36and hire four servants, I don't care.
00:44:38When he buys a Rolls Royce and a Ford,
00:44:40that's none of my business.
00:44:42And when he wants to stay out all night
00:44:44and play tag with the roulette wheels,
00:44:46that's no sand in my shoes.
00:44:47And when he tries to tell me
00:44:49how to direct a picture on the set,
00:44:51then I tell you you've got to pull him out of it.
00:44:53Oh, it's like that, is it?
00:44:55Plenty.
00:44:57Well, what's the idea of keeping it all a secret until now?
00:44:59Why don't you tell me all this before?
00:45:01Well, you know now, he's gone hog wild.
00:45:03I'm out here to talk to you about it.
00:45:05Oh, my head.
00:45:07Why me, Spud?
00:45:09Well, the lover might, because she won't listen to me.
00:45:11She might listen to you.
00:45:13Well, what's the difference?
00:45:15Why shouldn't she do what she likes?
00:45:17That's just what I've been trying to tell you.
00:45:19Why, that crazy little fool.
00:45:21What does she know about navigation?
00:45:23She loses the course, she's out of gas,
00:45:25and there she is when she must be crazy.
00:45:27That's exactly what I told her.
00:45:29That dumb little half-pipe.
00:45:31Who does she think she is?
00:45:33I know how to put a squelcher on this.
00:45:35Where is she?
00:45:37Signing the contracts at Old Man Parker's estate
00:45:39on Long Island.
00:45:41Give me long distance.
00:45:43Good evening, sir.
00:45:45Good evening.
00:45:47Is Joan here yet?
00:45:49I believe she's down in the pavilion, sir.
00:45:53Oh, hello there.
00:45:55Hello.
00:45:57Well, you seem to be having a little difficulty.
00:46:00Here, try this.
00:46:02Now put your right hand underneath.
00:46:04That's right.
00:46:06Now you'll do better.
00:46:08You're a great help.
00:46:10Well, it was the right idea, anyway.
00:46:12Joan, did you ever stop to consider what a nice guy I am?
00:46:15Very frequently.
00:46:17And on the other hand, you realize you're very lovely.
00:46:19You're going to miss that shot.
00:46:22And in the third place,
00:46:24you realize I'm crazy about you.
00:46:26I know, Bill, but...
00:46:28I'd like to see you give up that flight, Joan.
00:46:30We'll get it.
00:46:32But sail to Manila anyhow with me on the yacht.
00:46:35Your yacht sounds good,
00:46:37but your intention, bad.
00:46:39It would be a grand trip, Joan.
00:46:41Just the two of us.
00:46:43We could take six months doing it.
00:46:45Or by way of Tahiti.
00:46:47Six months?
00:46:49That's a long time, Bill.
00:46:51Not when there's you and me
00:46:54and the boat and the moon
00:46:56and the sea
00:46:58and the fact that you've got all the glory you want now.
00:47:00You ought to look away from these stunts
00:47:02long enough to enjoy life.
00:47:05You make it sound all too interesting, Bill.
00:47:08Pardon me, sir.
00:47:10Well, what is it, Walker?
00:47:12Long Distance is calling Miss Lawson.
00:47:13I'm speaking to her.
00:47:15Well, tell them she's busy.
00:47:17Long Distance from where?
00:47:19Mr. Bradshaw of Los Angeles.
00:47:21Oh, I'd better see what it is.
00:47:23I'll be right back, Bill.
00:47:25All right, Joan.
00:47:27Oh, Walker, you'd better clean this up.
00:47:29Very good, sir.
00:47:31Hello.
00:47:33Hello, Brad.
00:47:35Hello, Joan, how are you?
00:47:37Well, it's nice to hear your voice again.
00:47:39Listen, you harebrained little halfwit,
00:47:41what's all this hooey about your flying to Manila?
00:47:43Is that what you called up to say?
00:47:45Listen, you're just grandstanding.
00:47:47What do you know about ocean flying?
00:47:49You wouldn't get 50 miles offshore
00:47:51before you'd get in trouble.
00:47:53Now, forget it.
00:47:55Are you trying to tell me what to do?
00:47:57No, I'm trying to tell you what you can't do.
00:47:59That's what you think.
00:48:05And now let's make that trip with Thomas.
00:48:07I'm afraid not, Bill.
00:48:09You're not going to make that flight.
00:48:11I'll make it if it's the last thing I do.
00:48:13I'm leaving for the coast Wednesday.
00:48:18Excuse me, sir.
00:48:20Would you mind passing me the 8 ball?
00:48:22What? Oh, where is it?
00:48:24You're right behind it, sir.
00:48:30Have the entire company on board tomorrow morning.
00:48:32We're shooting at 8.30.
00:48:34Check on Brad Shaw yourself.
00:48:36Right.
00:48:40Okay, we're rolling.
00:48:41Quiet, please, for sound.
00:48:43Camera.
00:48:45You're making a fuss over nothing.
00:48:47I won't have it.
00:48:49You can't go up and leave me like this.
00:48:51Cut.
00:48:53What's the matter here?
00:48:55I'm trying to make a picture.
00:48:57Go see who's making that noise.
00:48:59This is who's on board.
00:49:01Fine, kids.
00:49:03Reduce the low pitch to 13.
00:49:05Excuse me.
00:49:07Can you hold that noise for a few moments?
00:49:09Of course.
00:49:11There's a lot of noise out there
00:49:13and the hammock is over our sound drug.
00:49:15Oh, all right.
00:49:17Hold it a few minutes, Stan.
00:49:19Thanks a million.
00:49:23I'll be right back, boys.
00:49:28Camera.
00:49:31You're making a fuss about nothing.
00:49:33I won't have it.
00:49:35You can't go up and leave me like this.
00:49:37You're staying here.
00:49:39I'll be back before you have a chance to miss me.
00:49:41It's a honey.
00:49:43We'll do that air stuff now.
00:49:45Go ahead and relax, kids, and get in the shade.
00:49:47Nice way. Fine way.
00:49:49Doc, where's Smitty? Where's Smitty?
00:49:51I'm making pictures here.
00:49:53Smitty, I want you to show me some fancy flying.
00:49:55Bob, it's really hot.
00:49:57Where's my chair? Do you know?
00:49:59Right over there, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:50:01Thanks. How about a cold drink?
00:50:03Hello, kittens. Long time no see.
00:50:05Hello, Brad.
00:50:07Just been watching you.
00:50:09You like it?
00:50:11You ought to take things easy now, don't you?
00:50:13Easy?
00:50:15For a gentleman who's telling other people they can't fly,
00:50:17your statements don't pack much authority.
00:50:19What do you mean by that?
00:50:21I'm glad to see you take your own advice and stay on the ground.
00:50:23It's hair, brain, idiocy to fly, isn't it?
00:50:26Hey, now, listen, I...
00:50:28Oh, I know how it is.
00:50:30You can't afford to take chances when you're a picture star.
00:50:32Now, look, get down to the field there, see?
00:50:34And when you're coming up, kid...
00:50:36Oh, no?
00:50:41Take it easy, Smitty.
00:50:47What's the big idea, Brad?
00:50:49You'll find out.
00:50:52You better clear, Smitty. I'll take it up myself.
00:50:55After the stunt stuff, we'll take that next sequence.
00:50:57What's that guy doing?
00:51:03Brad! Brad! You can't take that shit up!
00:51:08Doc! Doc!
00:51:09Hey, wait a minute. You can't take a chance like that.
00:51:33Crazy fool.
00:51:35Fire him with the camera, Charlie. Maybe we'll get some good stuff.
00:51:40You idiot, be careful.
00:51:50He's doing everything to play the hound with that ship.
00:51:53The crazy nut and all the dough we got sunk in this picture.
00:51:56Look at him.
00:52:01You idiot, be careful.
00:52:03He's doing everything to play the hound with that ship.
00:52:06You idiot, be careful.
00:52:08Brad can do anything.
00:52:10Doc! Doc! Do something! Stop him!
00:52:13What am I, an angel?
00:52:17How'd you like that one?
00:52:38I'm glad that's over.
00:52:48Did you get it, Charlie?
00:52:50It's in the bag.
00:52:52I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:52:54What?
00:52:56I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:52:58What?
00:53:00I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:53:02What?
00:53:04I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:53:05I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:53:07Brad, what's the idea? I'm trying to make a picture.
00:53:10Well, do you think your stuntman could do it any better?
00:53:13The next time I make a...
00:53:15Boss, boss, what's your blood pressure?
00:53:17All I'm asking is a little cooperation.
00:53:19And listen, Doc.
00:53:21That gets everything but the oil leak.
00:53:23We're checking that now, Miss Lawson.
00:53:25Okay.
00:53:28Well, did that suit you?
00:53:30Did what suit me?
00:53:32Me, the ship, the flying, I mean.
00:53:33Oh.
00:53:35Were you flying?
00:53:37Of course I was flying.
00:53:39Now you can go back to your knitting and forget that crazy flight.
00:53:42I can manage my own affairs very nicely, thanks.
00:53:45It's all right with me. I just thought I'd tell you, that's all.
00:53:48You can only break your neck once.
00:53:50Thanks for the encouragement.
00:53:52Don't mention it, kittens.
00:54:03I came a long way to ask you this, Brad.
00:54:06What do you want me to do about it?
00:54:08Stop her. Don't let Joan make that flight.
00:54:10Look, Spud, she's doing all right without me.
00:54:12She's now reached a point where nobody can even talk to her.
00:54:15Oh, you don't understand.
00:54:17She's doing this not because she wants the glory.
00:54:19You're behind it all.
00:54:21Me? What have I got to do with it?
00:54:23Oh, you put the idea in her head,
00:54:25and now she's out to show you she can do it alone.
00:54:27All right, let her.
00:54:29She's bullheaded and won't listen to reason.
00:54:31I've done everything I can do.
00:54:33Well, you're wrong this time. I won't do it.
00:54:36Hello? Oh, yes, Diane.
00:54:38Sure, sure.
00:54:40Just a couple more scenes.
00:54:42Eight? Okay.
00:54:44Bye.
00:54:47That's another reason I'm out here.
00:54:49Say, listen.
00:54:51You're not falling for that Bernhardt game, are you?
00:54:53Listen, Spud, you can just leave Diane's name out of it.
00:54:55There's certain things I don't like to discuss, even with you.
00:54:57Yeah? And I wouldn't either, if I were in your place.
00:54:59But, oh, skip it.
00:55:01What are you going to do about Joan?
00:55:03You're going to bring that up again, are you?
00:55:05Well, I told you, I've done everything I can.
00:55:07Come in.
00:55:09You want her on stage five, Mr. Bradshaw?
00:55:11Coming up, Doc.
00:55:13Oh, well, I guess there's nothing more I can say, Brad.
00:55:15I'm sorry.
00:55:17Yes, Spudgy, so am I.
00:55:19We're here, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:55:21Okay.
00:55:24See you later, Spud.
00:55:27I want to speak to Miss Diane Audrey.
00:55:29Yeah.
00:55:31Diane Audrey.
00:55:33Huh?
00:55:35Well, don't you know where she is?
00:55:37This is very important.
00:55:39Very important.
00:55:41Yeah.
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:48I'm from the studio.
00:55:50They sent me over with a new scenario for Miss Audrey to OK.
00:55:52I'm sorry.
00:55:54They want Mr. Bradshaw to see it, too.
00:55:56He's not here either.
00:55:58As a matter of fact, he used to be a guest here at dinner this evening.
00:56:00But we haven't heard from Miss Audrey nor Mr. Bradshaw since noon.
00:56:01Haven't you any idea where they are?
00:56:03I really don't know, sir.
00:56:05I'll have Miss Audrey call up the studio as soon as she gets home.
00:56:07Oh, William, is there any message for me?
00:56:09Yes.
00:56:11She said to say she's very busy.
00:56:13Oh, thank you.
00:56:15Oh, so you're waiting for Bernhard, too.
00:56:17Bernhard?
00:56:19No, she doesn't live here.
00:56:21I'm waiting for Miss Audrey.
00:56:23And I'm waiting for the guy that's with her.
00:56:25Suppose we wait together.
00:56:27Oh, splendid idea.
00:56:29Oh, would you like to sit in my car?
00:56:31Sure.
00:56:35Swell little scooter.
00:56:37Thanks, glad you like it.
00:56:44Have you ever been in love?
00:56:46Yeah, once.
00:56:48And I'm still paying for it.
00:56:50Ever hear of alimony?
00:56:52Oh, well, you just married the wrong girl.
00:56:54As far as Diana and I are concerned, we're going to...
00:56:56Are you two going to be married?
00:56:58Well, that's where our ideas seem to differ.
00:56:59Yeah, that's the way love is.
00:57:01It's all one-sided.
00:57:03You're in love with Diana,
00:57:05Diana's in love with another guy,
00:57:07the other guy's in love with himself.
00:57:09Yeah, it's very distressing.
00:57:14Hold it, hold it, let's have a fight.
00:57:16How about if you and Austin would give it a break?
00:57:18Take it snappy, boys.
00:57:25Holy smoke.
00:57:27Hey, hey, wake up.
00:57:29It's 5.30.
00:57:31Joe takes off in 20 minutes.
00:57:33Oh, Diana, you'll never know the pain you've caused me.
00:57:41Here, I'll fix that for you.
00:57:43Relax.
00:57:45Open your pores.
00:57:47That feel better?
00:57:50Excuse me, did you gentlemen ring?
00:57:52Oh, yes.
00:57:54Remember me? I'm the guy from the studio.
00:57:56Miss Audrey did not come home.
00:57:57I know she wouldn't be home to you, sir.
00:57:59Well, fancy that.
00:58:01Say, you wanna be a pal?
00:58:03Anything you ask, old man.
00:58:05There's a girl gonna commit suicide in a few minutes
00:58:07if we don't stop her.
00:58:09Oh, well, we should do something about it, shouldn't we?
00:58:11Right.
00:58:13Will you drive me to the airport, Bradley?
00:58:15Come on, step on it.
00:58:17Miss Lawson,
00:58:19this is the start of an historic occasion.
00:58:23Hurry up, we've only got three minutes.
00:58:24So good luck and Godspeed.
00:58:27Thanks.
00:58:29Clear the field, Stan.
00:58:35Can't you make this go any faster?
00:58:37Well, I can, but I don't think it's a good idea.
00:58:41I'll phone you from Manila.
00:58:43And I'll be waiting.
00:58:45Goodbye, Mr. Parker.
00:58:47Good luck, my dear.
00:58:49Goodbye, everybody.
00:58:51I'll stop her if I have to carry her off the field.
00:58:53Does she weigh very much?
00:58:56All right, boys, pull the box.
00:58:58Pull the box!
00:58:59Pull the box!
00:59:21I'll tell you.
00:59:23Pull the box!
00:59:25Pull the box!
00:59:27Pull the box!
00:59:32There she goes!
00:59:55All right, mister?
01:00:01Hey, are you crazy?
01:00:03Three on a match?
01:00:05Ain't things bad enough now?
01:00:07Some people have no consideration for others.
01:00:12Lawson to Catalina.
01:00:14Testing.
01:00:16Lawson to Catalina.
01:00:18Testing.
01:00:20One, two, three, four, five, six.
01:00:22Are you getting me okay?
01:00:24Thanks, Catalina.
01:00:26Hey, hey, hey.
01:00:28You're too high on the dial.
01:00:30She's got a short wavelength set.
01:00:33Shh, shh, shh.
01:00:35I think I got something.
01:00:38And at times like this,
01:00:40you will appreciate the understanding,
01:00:42quiet, helpful aid
01:00:44of the Updike Undertaking Service.
01:00:48You got something, all right.
01:00:55Lawson to Airways.
01:00:57Los Angeles.
01:00:59Lawson to Airways.
01:01:01Los Angeles.
01:01:03Come back, please.
01:01:05Okay, Airways.
01:01:07Six hours out of Los Angeles.
01:01:09Weather getting heavier.
01:01:11Position uncertain.
01:01:13Please give radio bearing.
01:01:15You can't hear me.
01:01:17Okay, Airways.
01:01:19Six hours out of Los Angeles.
01:01:21Weather getting heavier.
01:01:22Position uncertain.
01:01:24Please give radio bearing.
01:01:31Hello.
01:01:34Don't mind me.
01:01:36I just dropped in to borrow a cup of sugar.
01:01:42Where did you come from?
01:01:44I've been back there.
01:01:46It just suddenly occurred to me
01:01:48that when you cracked up on this flight,
01:01:50I'd be responsible because it was my idea
01:01:52Why did you come?
01:01:54Just so you wouldn't come back and haunt me, kittens.
01:01:56All right, I'll take over.
01:01:58You'll do nothing of the sort.
01:02:00Well, I better take over.
01:02:02You're miles off your course, aren't you?
01:02:04Haven't you done enough without spoiling this for me?
01:02:06I didn't really think you'd be crazy enough to go.
01:02:08As soon as I get you out of this mess,
01:02:10I won't spoil things for you anymore.
01:02:12You just did it to get publicity.
01:02:14Keep them coming.
01:02:16Yes, sir.
01:02:18Have either one of you gentlemen seen Mr. Bradshaw?
01:02:20If this is another one of your publicity stunts, Mr. Johnson,
01:02:23I'll have you know that I am not in a laughing mood.
01:02:26I've never been so humiliated in my life.
01:02:28Taking me to a party and then leaving me all alone.
01:02:31No man can do that to me.
01:02:33Not even Mr. Bradshaw.
01:02:35Every day we learn something new, Bernhard.
01:02:39Donald, take me home.
01:02:41I'm very sorry.
01:02:43I'm busy.
01:02:46Oh.
01:02:50How about doing?
01:02:52That's the way to treat them, Donny.
01:02:54Never give a woman an even break.
01:02:57And Joan Lawson is still unreported
01:02:5921 hours after taking off from Los Angeles
01:03:01in a redacious solo attempt to reach Manila
01:03:03in record-breaking time.
01:03:05Not a word.
01:03:07This thing's got me so far down,
01:03:09I'll never be the same again.
01:03:11I don't want to shave.
01:03:13I don't want to sleep.
01:03:15I don't want to eat.
01:03:17I don't even want to drink.
01:03:18May I?
01:03:20Yes, sir.
01:03:28Hey, hostess.
01:03:31Hostess.
01:03:33Rise and shine, you big beauty,
01:03:35and bring me some coffee, will you?
01:03:37I'm getting just a little bit tired.
01:03:40At your service, Mr. Bradshaw.
01:03:49Here's your coffee.
01:03:51Well, thanks.
01:03:53Take over, will you?
01:03:55All right.
01:03:59How long have you been out there asleep?
01:04:01About five hours.
01:04:03Five hours?
01:04:05Yep, and you snored through an hour
01:04:07of the dirtiest kind of weather.
01:04:09Oh, what did you come for?
01:04:11I didn't come for anything.
01:04:13I just wanted to get some fresh air.
01:04:15Oh.
01:04:16Oh, what did you come for, anyway?
01:04:18It was my idea to start with.
01:04:20Besides, the publicity from all this
01:04:22is going to put me right on top of the heap for good.
01:04:34Hey, hey, look, we've done it.
01:04:39By my reckoning, that's the Bay of San Miguel,
01:04:41only 20 miles from Manila.
01:04:43We have done it.
01:04:44Hey, take over here, will you?
01:04:46Why?
01:04:48Well, I want to get cleaned up.
01:04:50I want to get ready for those cameramen.
01:04:52I really believe that's all you care about.
01:04:54Why not?
01:04:56It's dough, and that's what publicity pays off in town.
01:04:58You okay there?
01:05:07Hey, kittens.
01:05:09Yes?
01:05:11I'm hitting the shelf.
01:05:12What's the matter, Brad?
01:05:14Well, nobody knows I'm aboard.
01:05:16I haven't made any radio calls.
01:05:18Now, you just get in there, hop out of the ship,
01:05:20and say nice things to the crowd, will you?
01:05:22And if you tell a soul you didn't make this flight solo,
01:05:24I'm going to brain you.
01:05:26Brad!
01:05:43She's done it.
01:05:45She's done it.
01:05:47We can see her from here.
01:05:51And the crowd is going wild.
01:05:56She can do it all the time.
01:05:58Oh, boy.
01:06:00She's saved.
01:06:02John's plane is coming down in a wide curve.
01:06:04Oh, boy.
01:06:06Oh, boy.
01:06:08Oh, boy.
01:06:10Oh, boy.
01:06:12Oh, boy.
01:06:17Hello, John.
01:06:19Hello, America.
01:06:43Hello, America!
01:07:07Silence, please, silence!
01:07:09It's lost.
01:07:10Vanilla is proud and honored to greet you on your completion of the greatest solo flight in the history of aviation.
01:07:19Miss Lawson, the world is waiting to hear you.
01:07:23The only thing I want to say is that I didn't do it alone. This is wrong.
01:07:27Neil Bradshaw did all the flying. Let him have the credit.
01:07:31He left the plane in a parachute ten minutes ago.
01:07:34Miss Lawson, he don't know what you're saying.
01:07:37Don't leave me alone.
01:07:40Quick, quick!
01:07:49There you are.
01:07:51I didn't know you were a family man.
01:07:53I'm a free man. No entangling alliances.
01:07:57Oh, hello. Haven't we met somewhere before?
01:08:00Yes, at the altar.
01:08:02Myrtle!
01:08:04Oh, Spud! How could you do what you've done to me?
01:08:08Oh, Myrtle, Myrtle, what are you crying about?
01:08:12Because you owe me $1,600 dollars.
01:08:16$1,600 dollars? Holy smoke! We could live a long time on that.
01:08:21Oh, Spud! Darling!
01:08:24Wait a minute. Before we settle this, we've got to discuss terms.
01:08:28Can I wear pleated shirts?
01:08:30Yes, dear.
01:08:31Will you take care of the cat?
01:08:32Yes, dear.
01:08:33Can I sleep in my underwear?
01:08:34Oh, yes, dear.
01:08:35Yes, dear.
01:08:36The armistice is on. Let's go.
01:08:39Oh, Spud!
01:08:41How am I doing?
01:08:43Swell.
01:08:48Oh, please go away. I can't see anybody now.
01:08:57Gibbons?
01:08:59Brad! You're not hurt.
01:09:02No, worse luck.
01:09:06But I have hurt you and I'm terribly sorry about it.
01:09:09I guess I'm stuck on you.
01:09:12You're not crazy, are you?
01:09:16Not you.
01:09:35You're not crazy, are you?
