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.
00:04:47It's a better place to be.
00:04:49I'll go and see if he's in there.
00:05:17Anything you say, Massa. Anything you say.
00:05:21Flight seven to Los Angeles, calling El Paso.
00:05:28Hello there.
00:05:30Well, fancy meeting you here.
00:05:31How are you, Mr. Parker?
00:05:32Bill to you, I hope.
00:05:34Coffee, Mr. Bill?
00:05:35Yes, thanks.
00:05:36And I'll also take guests for an answer on a date with you tomorrow night.
00:05:39Of course, this is our community.
00:05:41Except social invitations and the passengers.
00:05:43I know, you've told me before.
00:05:45Rule 23.
00:05:47Just how many times does a passenger have to ask before 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?
00:05:57I fly.
00:05:58What?
00:05:59Myself, I mean.
00:06:00Oh.
00:06:01I have 200 hours solo already.
00:06:02Splendid.
00:06:05What'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.
00:06:18Of course, I know it's a tough assignment to give her the right to Harry,
00:06:20but I think she'll be able to handle her.
00:06:22She was so easy to handle when she first started.
00:06:25What a difference now.
00:06:27Still, Diana Audray in our air picture will mean plenty at the box office.
00:06:31Worst of it is, she knows it.
00:06:33That's what makes her think she has the right to be temperamental.
00:06:35Well, you'll never get her to make this picture with Lane.
00:06:38Why not?
00:06:39Just because he's new?
00:06:41The only way I can build up a name for him is by teaming him with a star.
00:06:44You're right.
00:06:45And we can use some fresh faces.
00:06:51Did you gentlemen ring?
00:06:52Sure did, lady.
00:06:54Another radio message from Mr. Miller.
00:06:57How goes it, Brad?
00:07:00Oh, I can't complain, kittens, I really can't.
00:07:05You know, that's what I southern gentlemen call a nice kid.
00:07:09Oh, so you noticed that too, did you?
00:07:10Uh-huh.
00:07:12Radiogram for you, Mr. Miller.
00:07:14Oh, thank you.
00:07:21Now she's even howling about her costume.
00:07:23Says they conflict with her personality.
00:07:26I don't know what else an air hostess can wear other than an air hostess uniform.
00:07:30I can't see why she objects to that costume.
00:07:32It looks all right to me.
00:07:34What do you mean?
00:07:35The hostess.
00:07:36The 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?
00:07:48He seems to be enjoying it.
00:07:50Oh, he never cries.
00:07:52Except in my husband's sleep.
00:07:55God bless him.
00:07:57Say, 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.
00:08:08Oh, hostess.
00:08:10Tell me, how long have you been flying?
00:08:12Why, about two years.
00:08:14You 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're kidding 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.
00:08:52We could start you at, say, 200 a week.
00:08:57Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:08:58That's quite all right.
00:09:00Sure, this is okay.
00:09:01Safe and sound and all the thrills of being a floor walker.
00:09:05And I'm not going to stick to chauffeuring these flying rubbernecks all my life.
00:09:08No, sir.
00:09:09Brad, 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.
00:09:20Oh, thanks, Mr. Miller.
00:09:22Oh, no.
00:09:23You scream as well as I think you're going to.
00:09:25I'll be thanking you.
00:09:26Oh, and here's your sandwich.
00:09:31Harry, you never can tell where you're going to find the stars of tomorrow.
00:09:34Bring up teaching.
00:09:35Tell him how we're doing, will you, pal?
00:09:37Flight seven to Los Angeles.
00:09:39Ten miles east of Big Springs.
00:09:41Ceiling unlimited.
00:09:42Visibility unlimited.
00:09:44Not a cow on the street.
00:10:02How are you, Woozie?
00:10:04Well, the king of the airways, Marshall Olley,
00:10:06reports another successful battle with storms and bad schedules.
00:10:09How's the town been behaving?
00:10:11It was all right till you blew in.
00:10:13What's the matter? Aren't you happy?
00:10:15No, I'm not.
00:10:16I'm not happy.
00:10:17I'm not happy.
00:10:18I'm not happy.
00:10:19I'm not happy.
00:10:20I'm not happy.
00:10:21I'm not happy.
00:10:22I'm not happy.
00:10:23I'm not happy.
00:10:24I'm not happy.
00:10:25I'm not happy.
00:10:26I'm not happy.
00:10:27I'm not happy.
00:10:28I'm not happy.
00:10:29I'm not happy.
00:10:30Aren't you happy?
00:10:31The weariest with joy.
00:10:33Here's your pay envelope.
00:10:35Thanks, Woozie.
00:10:36Sign here.
00:10:37I'm leaving my box by mistake, Brad.
00:10:39They're all from women and they're all the same.
00:10:41Mr. Bradshaw, would you please call?
00:10:43Please.
00:10:45How do you do it, Brad?
00:10:46Do you feed them caviar?
00:10:48Can I help it if I've got everything?
00:10:50Yeah, someday you're gonna get hooked, too.
00:10:52No, sir.
00:10:53Marriages are made in heaven.
00:10:54So I'm safe.
00:10:55Yeah.
00:10:56Yeah.
00:10:57Ann.
00:10:58Sissy.
00:10:59Dora.
00:11:00Kitty.
00:11:01And 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!
00:11:25I'm looking for a candidate and you're it.
00:11:27Candidate?
00:11:28Yes, you see, I just got some great news
00:11:29and I need somebody to celebrate with.
00:11:31And who do I run into but the one girl for the assignment?
00:11:33Oh, Brad, I'm awfully glad.
00:11:35What is it?
00:11:36Tell you tonight, kittens.
00:11:37I've got some news, too.
00:11:38See, it just goes to show you how lucky you are.
00:11:40I might have asked her to somebody else instead of you.
00:11:43Told you, I've got big news to celebrate tonight
00:11:45and you wanted to order a beer.
00:11:47Well, champagne's expensive.
00:11:49That's a word we're going to forget.
00:11:50Cigarette, sir?
00:11:51Yeah.
00:11:54Here you are, kittens.
00:11:55Thanks.
00:11:56Here you are, Mom.
00:11:57Keep the change.
00:12:00What have you done?
00:12:01What have I done?
00:12:02What have I done?
00:12:03What have I done?
00:12:04What have I done?
00:12:05What have I done?
00:12:06What have I done?
00:12:07What have I done?
00:12:08What have I done?
00:12:09What have I done?
00:12:10What have I done?
00:12:11What have you done?
00:12:12Inherited a fortune?
00:12:13That's the general idea.
00:12:15Be serious about it for a minute, Brad.
00:12:17Pardon me.
00:12:18You ordered champagne, sir?
00:12:19Yes, I certainly did.
00:12:23Wonderful stuff, this champagne.
00:12:25What is the big news, Brad?
00:12:27Tell 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?
00:12:37Tell me.
00:12:38All right, all right.
00:12:39Be patient.
00:12:40I'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.
00:12:47No.
00:12:48A part in Andre's new picture and a contract.
00:12:52How much they offer you?
00:12:54200 a week.
00:13:02Only 200, huh?
00:13:05Last night I was so excited I didn't dare to think.
00:13:08Let's not talk about me.
00:13:10Here's to your big news.
00:13:14Now tell me, what is it?
00:13:17Oh, it's nothing much.
00:13:19Really doesn't amount to anything.
00:13:23Come on, let's dance.
00:13:39Well, then what do you think I ought to do about this new deal?
00:13:43Oh, I don't know.
00:13:45I wasn't thinking about that.
00:13:47That's a lot of money, all right.
00:13:49Brad, would you...
00:13:51I mean, do you think the gang would miss me?
00:13:55Oh, well, you know how it is.
00:13:57Out of sight, out of mind.
00:13:59Kittens, I wouldn't try to tell you what to do,
00:14:01but gosh, I wouldn't take a job on the ground for anything.
00:14:05Of course, with a girl it's different,
00:14:07but gee, I wouldn't take all the movies made in Hollywood
00:14:10for an old jetty with a sewing machine to run the propeller.
00:14:20Yeah?
00:14:21Who?
00:14:22Oh, yes, I'll talk to her.
00:14:24No, Harry, I'm afraid you'll have to have them redesigned these sets.
00:14:26Okay, Dave, I'll take it up with him.
00:14:27All right.
00:14:28Hello.
00:14:29Oh, hello, Miss Lawson.
00:14:30How are you?
00:14:31I'm fine.
00:14:32Oh, hello, Miss Lawson.
00:14:33How are you?
00:14:34I've made up my mind, Mr. Miller.
00:14:36You have?
00:14:37Good.
00:14:38Well, 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 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, I do.
00:15:01Oh, come in, Diana.
00:15:02I'm sorry too, Miss Lawson,
00:15:04but I still think you're making a mistake.
00:15:06Goodbye.
00:15:08Hello, David.
00:15:09Hello, Diana.
00:15:10Come in.
00:15:11Sit down.
00:15:13Cigarette?
00:15:14How are things down in Malibu?
00:15:16Barny, I guess.
00:15:18I'm glad you came in.
00:15:20I wonder if you are, David.
00:15:22Yes, of course I am.
00:15:27I wanted to talk with you about sky fever.
00:15:30You like the story?
00:15:31Oh, I like the story very much.
00:15:33Good.
00:15:34Then we start shooting right away.
00:15:35No, we won't.
00:15:38Now, look here, Diana.
00:15:39I thought when I got back,
00:15:40I'd find you'd gotten over your tantrum.
00:15:41It's not a tantrum.
00:15:42It's a decision.
00:15:43Hello?
00:15:46Oh, it's for you.
00:15:49Hello?
00:15:51Oh, yes, Donald.
00:15:53Hello, Diana.
00:15:55I thought we were doing anything tonight.
00:15:56Well, maybe we could...
00:15:57I'm sorry.
00:15:58I'll be busy.
00:15:59Yes, and I'll be busy then, too.
00:16:02Ah, well, that's what I thought.
00:16:04Goodbye.
00:16:08I brought you along this far.
00:16:09Why don't you trust my judgment now?
00:16:12I won't let Lane play opposite me,
00:16:14and that's final, David.
00:16:16But why not?
00:16:17Just because he's new?
00:16:18Why, I think it'll be the finest thing in the world...
00:16:19No, he's a washout.
00:16:21He hasn't any more personality
00:16:22than a post office pimp.
00:16:24And he can't act.
00:16:25You'll let me be the best judge of that.
00:16:28I won't do a picture with him,
00:16:30and that's final.
00:16:32Diana, I hate to say this,
00:16:33but I've got to remind you
00:16:34that there's a little slip of paper that you signed.
00:16:37Remember?
00:16:38You mean the contract?
00:16:39Yes, the contract,
00:16:40which provides that we have the final decision
00:16:42in casting of pictures.
00:16:43It also provides that I can disapprove of stories.
00:16:46Yes, but you've already said you like Sky Fever.
00:16:48Ah-ha, but not in writing, David.
00:16:51Disapprove Lane,
00:16:52or I will not approve the story.
00:16:55Oh, yes, you will.
00:16:57You forget that Stanton is the president of this company,
00:17:00and that my original deal was with him.
00:17:03I am in charge of production.
00:17:05I give the orders here.
00:17:07Stanton promised me personally
00:17:08I would not have to play opposite Lane.
00:17:11Unfortunately, he's in New York
00:17:13and can't be reached by phone.
00:17:14I know because I've tried.
00:17:15Then you'll have to wait until I get back.
00:17:18I'm leaving for New York.
00:17:21Madam, it's impossible.
00:17:23All planes are grounded by fog and storm.
00:17:27Of course, I believe you could,
00:17:29but it wouldn't make any difference
00:17:30if you paid $1,000.
00:17:34Lady, if you were the queen of Sheba,
00:17:37we could not fly you out of here tonight.
00:17:40Hello, Lizzie.
00:17:41Oh, what are you doing on the coast?
00:17:43The little woman's got alimony fever again.
00:17:46Oh, women, women, women.
00:17:49Oh, go right ahead, madam.
00:17:50I'm listening, go right ahead.
00:17:51Yes, yes.
00:17:52I rate Dame demand service, eh?
00:17:54Just to call her name's Diana Audrey,
00:17:56she thinks...
00:17:57Diana Audrey!
00:17:58Out of my way.
00:17:59Hello, Miss Audrey.
00:18:00This is Mr. Johnson speaking.
00:18:02Yes, I'm the vice president of this line.
00:18:04Yes, clerks are clerks, Miss Audrey.
00:18:07Now tell me what I can do for you.
00:18:09You crazy nut.
00:18:11Yes.
00:18:12Oh, certainly, of course.
00:18:13I'll attend to it myself.
00:18:14We'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 plithering 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.
00:18:40We've got places to go and things to see.
00:18:42Shh, shh, shh.
00:18:43I'll be inside.
00:18:44Hello, Mr. Gray.
00:18:45This is Spud Johnson.
00:18:48This is Tops.
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.
00:18:55We can't send a plane up in the weather you have out there.
00:18:59But it's news if 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.
00:19:12How long have we been flying?
00:19:1535 minutes.
00:19:18Look, if you want to sit up here instead of back there
00:19:20where you belong,
00:19:21keep your hands off the wheel, please.
00:19:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:25You're a good pilot, aren't you?
00:19:27Put it conservatively, I am.
00:19:29I hope you are, because it seems terribly rough tonight.
00:19:32Yep, it is.
00:19:35Get your hands off me.
00:19:37Oh.
00:19:39Get your hands off me.
00:19:40Oh, I'm sorry.
00:19:47What time is it, pilot?
00:19:51Oh, 9.20.
00:19:55I hate to keep on calling you pilot all the time.
00:19:57It's really informal.
00:19:59I, uh, noticed your initial is M.
00:20:03Yeah, it is.
00:20:04M for Nebuchadnezzar.
00:20:06A foreign name.
00:20:08It's an odd name.
00:20:10Yeah, it's Arabian for Nebuchadnezzar.
00:20:13So you really are a human being, aren't you?
00:20:16And a very superior one, madam.
00:20:18I didn't mean to be a smart aleck back there,
00:20:20but that was a pretty rough stretch of weather,
00:20:22and I'm a fellow that just can't fly and talk at the same time.
00:20:25I'm sorry.
00:20:27You know, I've seen a lot of your pictures.
00:20:29And did you like them?
00:20:30Yes, I did.
00:20:31Something 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, uh, 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. I hope 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 give you the latest bulletin on the search for them.
00:21:34Radio.
00:21:35Anything from Bradshaw?
00:21:37No word from Bradshaw yet.
00:21:39I told that little bitch
00:21:41not 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
00:22:01half-wit named Johnson is there.
00:22:03You want it on the phone?
00:22:05Sound like bad news?
00:22:06Well, it takes you quite exactly complimentary.
00:22:09I 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 washy now.
00:22:22A little bulk of blub.
00:22:23Behind my berry patch.
00:22:25Yes.
00:22:26When you go up there,
00:22:28take a look beyond Pine Hill.
00:22:30My wife says she's seen another plane
00:22:32or 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.
00:22:41Okay, 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 sells newspapers.
00:22:47The road's out.
00:22:48Join her plane.
00:22:49Now get going.
00:22:53Well, boys, if she's safe,
00:22:54she's got a million dollars worth of publicity
00:22:56and she's doubled her audience interest
00:22:57with an ad story for her next picture.
00:22:59Boss, that's the kind of publicity
00:23:00press agents dream about.
00:23:04And he reported that he sighted the plane
00:23:05resting in the clearing.
00:23:06Press, camera and newsreel men
00:23:07are already on their way
00:23:08to this remote mountainside.
00:23:16They're here.
00:23:17Well, they better be.
00:23:18They're ain't gonna let this thing
00:23:19down the hill again.
00:23:20Mr. Bradshaw.
00:23:22Come on out.
00:23:23We're waiting.
00:23:24Come on out.
00:23:25Hello, Bradshaw.
00:23:26Hi there.
00:23:27Hiya, Bradshaw.
00:23:28We sure had a hard time finding you.
00:23:29Do you mind coming out
00:23:30and giving the newsreel
00:23:31and the reporters a little break?
00:23:32Not a bit.
00:23:33Be right there.
00:23:34All right.
00:23:35All right, boys.
00:23:36Get your cameras ready right now.
00:23:37Glad to see you, boys.
00:23:40This is your talking reporter
00:23:41interviewing Audrey and Pilot Bradshaw.
00:23:44Hello, folks.
00:23:45There really isn't very much to tell.
00:23:46We were forced down the side of that ridge
00:23:48and blew out both tires
00:23:50and weren't able to take off again.
00:23:52And, well, here we are.
00:23:55Were you scared?
00:23:56Oh, not in the least, were we?
00:23:58Well, I'll have to admit
00:23:59I was a little scared, yeah.
00:24:01Well, tell me,
00:24:02how'd you happen to find
00:24:03this shack in the storm?
00:24:04Well, we were just lucky
00:24:05and stumbled onto the trail,
00:24:06that's all.
00:24:07Oh, what Pilot Bradshaw
00:24:08failed to mention was his heroism.
00:24:09Now, we were on the other side
00:24:10of the ridge.
00:24:11Hey, hey, forget it.
00:24:12Oh, my Brad.
00:24:15Folks, this is really
00:24:16a big fuss over nothing.
00:24:17The motor conked and we pancaked
00:24:19and then hiked to the cabin
00:24:20and I, uh, then, well, I, uh...
00:24:25Come on, let's get out of here.
00:24:26Thanks, Mr. O'Grady.
00:24:31I know you have no way to get back.
00:24:33Look out, boys, here he comes,
00:24:34all together now.
00:24:35Hail to the conquering hero!
00:24:38Oh, Braddy.
00:24:39Our hero.
00:24:40Did great big hero
00:24:41rescue beautiful movie actress?
00:24:43Just let me touch you.
00:24:45That's very funny.
00:24:46I don't think.
00:24:47What's the matter, Braddy?
00:24:48Can't our little hero take it?
00:24:50This scene is typical
00:24:51of the South Seas,
00:24:52the islands of music and romance,
00:24:54peace and happiness.
00:24:55We'll be flying right over
00:24:56that spot someday, kittens.
00:24:58Yes, together.
00:25:00Shh, can't hear the music.
00:25:04One of the most interesting
00:25:05air adventures of recent times
00:25:06was the safe landing
00:25:07made by pilot Bradshaw
00:25:09while Diana Audrey
00:25:10was his only passenger.
00:25:12Well, hello, folks.
00:25:14There really isn't
00:25:15very much to tell.
00:25:16We forced down on the island
00:25:18on the other side of that ridge
00:25:19and blew out both tires
00:25:21and 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
00:25:27this shack in the storm?
00:25:28Well, we were just lucky
00:25:29and stumbled onto the trail,
00:25:30that's all.
00:25:31Oh, what pilot Bradshaw
00:25:32failed to mention
00:25:33is his heroism.
00:25:34Now, when we were on
00:25:35the other side of the ridge...
00:25:36Hey, hey, forget it.
00:25:37Oh, my Brad.
00:25:39Folks, this is really
00:25:40a big fuss over nothing.
00:25:42The motor conked
00:25:43and we pancaked
00:25:44and then hiked to the cabin
00:25:45and I, uh, then, well, I, uh...
00:25:49Come on, let's get out of here.
00:25:51Come on, let's go.
00:25:53All right.
00:25:54Hey, we ain't seen
00:25:55the Mickey Mouse yet.
00:25:56Be quiet, Tommy.
00:25:58Well, my life ain't my own.
00:26:00Come on.
00:26:16We have all the earmarks
00:26:18of a flop in the making,
00:26:19if you ask me.
00:26:21I've never had a failure.
00:26:22There's always a first time.
00:26:24I don't have to listen
00:26:25to this sort of talk.
00:26:26Stop arguing, you two.
00:26:27That'll never get us anywhere.
00:26:28We're here to decide
00:26:29on what to do.
00:26:30Simply laying out of the picture.
00:26:32Yes, and get who?
00:26:33I'll tell you who to get.
00:26:34Who?
00:26:35Neil Bradshaw.
00:26:36Neil what?
00:26:37Bradshaw.
00:26:38The airplane pilot?
00:26:39No, the actor.
00:26:40Oh, I never heard of him.
00:26:41What do you mean?
00:26:42I mean simply this.
00:26:43Bradshaw the pilot
00:26:44has ten times
00:26:45the personality of Lane,
00:26:46and he made twice the actor.
00:26:48Don't come down to us, Dinah.
00:26:49This is serious.
00:26:50But I am serious.
00:26:51You realize the publicity value
00:26:53of using his name with mine
00:26:54in a picture now?
00:26:55Why, it's like telling me
00:26:56to pick a man off the street.
00:26:57It's silly.
00:26:58It's the most sensible thing
00:26:59that's been said here yet.
00:27:01But it'll take weeks.
00:27:02Where's the time for tests?
00:27:03We have tests already.
00:27:04What tests?
00:27:05Where?
00:27:06We have miles of newsreel
00:27:07shots of him.
00:27:08Couldn't want better tests.
00:27:10And I think he'd fit
00:27:11the part beautifully.
00:27:12Let's go to an orphanage,
00:27:14adopt an actor,
00:27:15and raise him.
00:27:17Wait a minute, Harry.
00:27:19If the man has got something,
00:27:21it'll be the slickest showmanship
00:27:22stunt in years to team him.
00:27:24Mr. Miller,
00:27:26get me all the clips
00:27:27on the ordinary newsreel
00:27:28airstop right away.
00:27:29Yeah, projection room five,
00:27:31and 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 from you.
00:27:41Me?
00:27:42Yeah, I'll take over.
00:27:43Okay, you got it?
00:27:44Yeah.
00:27:46Hello?
00:27:47Ratchaw?
00:27:49This is David Miller,
00:27:50the producer at Empire Studios.
00:27:53Oh, yeah?
00:27:54Well, this is Shirley Temple the ape.
00:27:57Now listen, you wise guys,
00:27:58a gag's a gag,
00:27:59but I'm getting tired of it.
00:28:00So go buy yourself some rompers
00:28:02and play in somebody else's
00:28:03backyard, will you?
00:28:05Hello?
00:28:06Hello?
00:28:08Boy's a play, huh?
00:28:10Yeah, they still think it's funny
00:28:11to use that bratty stuff.
00:28:13I guess I'll have to send a wire
00:28:14to Neil Bradshaw.
00:28:16Kid, see if there's another photo
00:28:17of that new plane in there.
00:28:19Aye, aye, sir.
00:28:20Hold it, Eddie.
00:28:21I'm looking.
00:28:23Uh-uh.
00:28:24The other drawer.
00:28:26That is the shellacking file.
00:28:29Yeah, it's in there, I think.
00:28:31Yeah.
00:28:32Yes, Eddie.
00:28:33I 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
00:28:52of that giggle water in years.
00:28:54That's exclusively
00:28:55for the visiting fireman.
00:28:57Listen, kid,
00:28:58I've got a stunt cooked up with Eddie
00:29:00to land a helicopter
00:29:01on the governor's lawn.
00:29:02And you're looking for a candidate.
00:29:04How about it?
00:29:05Oh, no.
00:29:06Brad will be here in a second.
00:29:07We have three days off
00:29:08and we want to use
00:29:09every minute period.
00:29:10I know.
00:29:11The manila flight.
00:29:13Hiya, Brad.
00:29:14Howdy, howdy.
00:29:15Hello.
00:29:16Kittens.
00:29:17Spud, take a look at this.
00:29:18Is that something or not?
00:29:23This is really the top swing you see it.
00:29:26Oh, Brad,
00:29:27did you get a new backer
00:29:28for the manila flight?
00:29:29Oh, it's bigger than that,
00:29:30right or not, Spud?
00:29:31It's big, all right.
00:29:32Well, Brad, what is it?
00:29:33Don't stand there like a sphinx
00:29:34when I'm dying of curiosity.
00:29:35Lady, you're looking at real wealth.
00:29:37I've 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 10 years
00:29:52to earn that kind of dough here,
00:29:53if ever.
00:29:54Yes, sir, Lady Luck's perching
00:29:55right on my shoulder.
00:29:57She certainly is.
00:29:59Colossalific, that's what it is.
00:30:01Just goes to show you
00:30:02you never know what's coming
00:30:03your way, do you?
00:30:04Hey, Brad,
00:30:05there's a reporter
00:30:06from the Times to see you.
00:30:07All right, Mac,
00:30:08I'll be right with you.
00:30:09There you are, my public.
00:30:11See you later.
00:30:17I'm sorry, kid.
00:30:19For what?
00:30:20It's my fault.
00:30:22If I hadn't started
00:30:23that dizzy publicity stunt
00:30:24with Diana Audrey,
00:30:25it'd never have happened.
00:30:27Forget it.
00:30:30Means a lot to you,
00:30:31that goof, doesn't he?
00:30:34I don't know why.
00:30:36Yeah, but I know.
00:30:39What a bright little genius I am.
00:30:42Spud.
00:30:43Yeah?
00:30:44Unlock the photos.
00:30:46Unlock them?
00:30:48I think I can stand one myself.
00:30:50Huh?
00:30:52Oh.
00:30:53Oh, sure.
00:30:59Spud, if that helicopter stunt
00:31:01is still open,
00:31:02I'll take it.
00:31:16You can go now, Edwards.
00:31:17I won't be needing you anymore today.
00:31:19Yes, ma'am.
00:31:21Hello, 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, uh,
00:31:29you weren't doing anything tonight
00:31:30that we could just...
00:31:31Sorry, I'm busy.
00:31:32Oh, sure.
00:31:33Well, how about maybe we could go out and...
00:31:36Goodbye, Donald.
00:31:37Goodbye, Diana.
00:31:41Well, Diana, what do you think of it?
00:31:43It's simply gorgeous.
00:31:44Just a little bagatelle I picked up.
00:31:46Wait till you see the Sunday job, though.
00:31:48You're really putting it on.
00:31:50Why not?
00:31:51Studio tore up the old contract,
00:31:52wrote a new one into bigger figure.
00:31:54Oh, that's grand.
00:31:55I'm glad, Brad.
00:31:56Very much afraid I'm gonna be a success,
00:31:58thanks 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.
00:32:18He's bathing somebody.
00:32:19Bathing somebody?
00:32:20What do you mean?
00:32:21Well, that's what he told me anyway.
00:32:23He said he was ducking alimony
00:32:25and not to let anybody come in.
00:32:28Tommy, you go home.
00:32:29Oh, gee whiz, sis.
00:32:44Enter, madam.
00:32:46Well.
00:32:48Hmm.
00:32:49Nice little spot you have here, Spud.
00:32:51Have to take a long lease?
00:32:52The sheriff is staging a sit-down strike in my office,
00:32:55so I moved in here.
00:32:56Say, that helicopter gag was dynamite.
00:32:59Get a load of those clippings, will you,
00:33:01while I attend to my cooking.
00:33:02I have things on the stove.
00:33:04Imagine all this attention for that silly little fright I...
00:33:16Now, if I do say so myself,
00:33:18that's the best play any yarn has gotten locally in months.
00:33:21Yes, it's funny, isn't it?
00:33:23Funny?
00:33:24What do you mean, funny?
00:33:25Well, that...
00:33:26Oh.
00:33:27Oh, I'm sorry, Joan.
00:33:29I didn't mean for you to see that.
00:33:31It's all right.
00:33:33Still thinking about him, eh?
00:33:35Mm-hmm.
00:33:36I suppose I'm a fool, Spud,
00:33:37but I just can't help it.
00:33:39Well, I'm not the man to criticize anybody
00:33:42for the lack of willpower,
00:33:44but I wouldn't take this thing backing down.
00:33:47What do you mean?
00:33:48Doe and glory.
00:33:50Open your soup and stop talking riddles.
00:33:53Now, listen.
00:33:54You'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
00:34:00and 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 Tom.
00:34:06I'll let him in.
00:34:08Come in, Squirt.
00:34:09This 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.
00:34:21I'm only the man who signs your paychecks.
00:34:24But I wonder if you wouldn't mind telling me
00:34:26what you're doing here.
00:34:28I...
00:34:29I was just testing the livableness of our plane, you know,
00:34:33to 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.
00:34:39You know the company rules, Miss Lawson.
00:34:42What are you doing here?
00:34:44Why, I...
00:34:45It's all right.
00:34:46She was just helping me out.
00:34:48Turn in your uniform.
00:34:50Hey, wait a minute.
00:34:51You can't do that.
00:34:52You fire her, and that goes for me, too.
00:34:55That's fine.
00:34:56I was just going to get to you in a moment.
00:34:58You can both pick up your checks at the cashier's office.
00:35:06But you shouldn't have done that.
00:35:08No.
00:35:09But it's a great break.
00:35:11Now I can spend all my time building you up.
00:35:14Never did like that guy, anyway.
00:35:16No imagination.
00:35:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:35:19I was just about to tell you before Skirk came in
00:35:22that when you make that flight to test the, uh,
00:35:25the new speed motor...
00:35:26What flight?
00:35:27Evening papers will tell you all about it, baby.
00:35:29Here, let me do that.
00:35:30Give me a little room.
00:35:34Consomme.
00:35:50Anything on that plane that's down in Wyoming?
00:35:52Not yet.
00:35:53Keep after it.
00:35:54Joe, baby, listen.
00:35:55Rocky Mountain Airlines has a plane down somewhere in Wyoming.
00:35:58I just got the word from Eddie here.
00:36:00Now, listen.
00:36:01Get in a plane and fly that route and try to find it.
00:36:04I'll have stories on the wires in half an hour.
00:36:06Okay, kid.
00:36:07Good luck.
00:36:08Give us a good break on this, will you?
00:36:10Yeah, sure.
00:36:20Lawson to Denver.
00:36:22Lawson to Denver.
00:36:23Just found a Rocky Mountain plane in an isolated valley.
00:36:26It appears undamaged.
00:36:27We'll try to land and give first aid.
00:36:29Stand by for further information.
00:36:50Back to Malibu.
00:36:52Uh-huh.
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?
00:37:07That little detail has been attended to.
00:37:10Good.
00:37:19Oh, yeah.
00:37:28All right, thank you.
00:37:30Hey, do you see what I see?
00:37:33Well, jar my pick.
00:37:36I like this place, Brad.
00:37:37That's fine.
00:37:38I thought you would.
00:37:39Want to dance?
00:37:40No, I've got to have my drink first.
00:37:41Would Mr. Brad Shardene to dance with a mere actress?
00:37:44He wouldn't and he will.
00:37:46You don't mind, do you, dear?
00:37:47No, it's not, darling.
00:37:48You know, she was right.
00:37:53Hello, 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
00:38:01and I noticed you here.
00:38:02So I thought I'd come over and see if,
00:38:04well, if maybe you weren't doing anything tomorrow night,
00:38:06that maybe we could go...
00:38:07I'm sorry, Donald.
00:38:08I'm busy.
00:38:09Oh, sure.
00:38:10Well, thanks anyway.
00:38:12You're welcome.
00:38:13Hiya, Brad.
00:38:14Hello, Tex.
00:38:15How are you?
00:38:16How's Hollywood doing out here?
00:38:18Just slumming.
00:38:19Yeah?
00:38:20Plenty of room in the pew.
00:38:21Why don't you boys join us?
00:38:32Thanks very much.
00:38:33That was a lot of fun.
00:38:35Oh, Brad.
00:38:36I hear our premiere's a sellout.
00:38:38Gee, that's wonderful, isn't it?
00:38:39I think so.
00:38:40Hello, Spud.
00:38:41How are you?
00:38:42Hello, Brad.
00:38:43Gee, what are you doing out here?
00:38:44Oh, just a little unofficial business.
00:38:45Diana, this is Spud Johnson.
00:38:46Mr. Johnson?
00:38:47Oh, I've met you over the telephone.
00:38:49Oh, yeah.
00:38:50We've met.
00:38:51Pull up a chair, Spud, and join us.
00:38:52Oh, thanks.
00:38:55Well, how does it feel to be way up there?
00:38:58I don't know.
00:38:59I guess it feels pretty good.
00:39:00Sort of wondered.
00:39:01Didn't hear from you or anything.
00:39:03Well, you know how it is, Spud.
00:39:04You get busy in one thing or another.
00:39:05Yeah.
00:39:06Thought you might be going a little bit high hat or something.
00:39:09Oh, don't make me laugh, Spud.
00:39:10You and me?
00:39:11I don't mean me.
00:39:14Well, I don't get you.
00:39:15I mean Joan.
00:39:16Oh, did she fly in with you?
00:39:18No.
00:39:19How is she, Spud?
00:39:20Oh, she's sound.
00:39:21Don't get this wrong, Brad.
00:39:22Talking to you about her is strictly my own idea.
00:39:25Your own idea about what?
00:39:26Well, 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 that...
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.
00:39:40Why don't you snap out of it, Spud?
00:39:42Well, on second thought, Bernhard,
00:39:44maybe you'd better leave us alone.
00:39:45Listen, Spud, pipe down, will you?
00:39:46Brad, please.
00:39:49I'm sorry, Spud.
00:39:50I didn't mean anything.
00:39:51Forget it, will you?
00:39:52Come on.
00:39:53Shall we dance?
00:39:54I'd be delighted.
00:39:55You sure I'm not taking you away from your priorities?
00:39:57Don't be silly.
00:40:02It is getting late.
00:40:03How about dinner with me tomorrow night?
00:40:04Also Tuesday and Wednesday.
00:40:06Don't you think a working girl ought to lead a quieter life?
00:40:09Not when she can go out with me.
00:40:12I really had better go in.
00:40:14Now, Joan,
00:40:17do you mind if I tell you I'd rather be with you
00:40:19than anybody I know?
00:40:20Thanks.
00:40:21I had a lovely evening, too.
00:40:23Oh, don't bother to get out.
00:40:25It's only a few steps.
00:40:26Now, Joan, don't get formal again.
00:40:28I'm not.
00:40:29Only I, uh...
00:40:30You what?
00:40:31I must go in.
00:40:32Please, Bill.
00:40:33Tell your dad I'll give the ship another test
00:40:35next week before the race.
00:40:36All right.
00:40:37See you at the field.
00:40:38Good night.
00:40:40Well, here we are, safe and sound.
00:40:42Home again.
00:40:44Gee, Diana, you're a funny person.
00:40:46What do you mean by that?
00:40:48The more I know you, the less I know you.
00:40:50I never know what you're really like.
00:40:52I'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.
00:41:08Don't you think the scene ought to end the same way?
00:41:11You're the director this time.
00:41:23That wasn't in the picture.
00:41:25Honey, 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.
00:42:38Whoa!
00:43:02The owner's in fourth place.
00:43:04Not a cigarette, Dad?
00:43:07No.
00:43:12Great stunt, but she's cutting those pilots close.
00:43:27Look, Dad, she's cutting them down.
00:43:29I told you that plane isn't handling well.
00:43:34Good luck, Mr. Parker.
00:43:35Parker Plane does it.
00:43:36Thanks, Bruno.
00:43:37And if we win, the Army ought to give our plan another order.
00:43:39Do our best.
00:43:49She's running!
00:43:52She's running!
00:43:56Parker Plane's won again.
00:43:58Joan Lawson is a great pilot
00:44:00and a great salesman for Parker Plane.
00:44:05Joan is mopping the whole everything.
00:44:06I'm going to try to get Joan to say a few words for you.
00:44:08Here she is.
00:44:09Oh, I'm too excited and tired to say very much now.
00:44:12It was a wonderful race, and I'm terribly happy I won.
00:44:16Bill, I like her idea for a trans-Pacific flight.
00:44:20I'm going to back her to beat the Clipperships.
00:44:22To Manila?
00:44:23A non-stop solo.
00:44:26To the Philippines.
00:44:28You've got to lay the law down to Bradshaw, Dave.
00:44:31I think you're exaggerating a bit, eh?
00:44:33Oh, I am, am I?
00:44:35When he wants to lease a home in Beverly Hills and hire four servants,
00:44:38I don't care.
00:44:39When he buys a Rolls Royce and a Ford, that's none of my business.
00:44:42And when he wants to stay out all night and play tag with the roulette wheels,
00:44:44that's no sand in my shoes.
00:44:46But when he tries to tell me how to direct a picture on the set,
00:44:49then I tell you, you've got to pull him out of it.
00:44:52Oh, it's like that, is it?
00:44:54Plenty.
00:44:55Well, what's the idea of keeping it all a secret until now?
00:44:57Why don't you tell me all this before?
00:44:58Well, you know now.
00:44:59He's gone hog wild.
00:45:00I'm out here to talk to you about it.
00:45:02Oh, my head.
00:45:05Why me, Spud?
00:45:06Well, the lover might because she won't listen to me.
00:45:09She might listen to you.
00:45:10Well, what's the difference?
00:45:11Why shouldn't she do what she likes?
00:45:12Let her try flying to Manila?
00:45:14To Manila?
00:45:15Well, she hasn't got a chance.
00:45:16She must be out of her mind.
00:45:17That's just what I've been trying to tell you.
00:45:19Why, that crazy little fool.
00:45:20What does she know about navigation?
00:45:21She loses the course, she's out of gas, and there she is.
00:45:23Well, she must be crazy.
00:45:24That's exactly what I told her.
00:45:25That dumb little half-pipe.
00:45:27Who does she think she is?
00:45:29I know how to put a squelcher on this.
00:45:31Where is she?
00:45:32Signing the contracts at Old Man Parker's estate on Long Island.
00:45:37Give me long distance.
00:45:43Good evening, sir.
00:45:44Good evening.
00:45:46Is Miss Lawson here yet?
00:45:48I believe she's down in the billiard room, sir.
00:45:53Oh, hello there.
00:45:54Hello.
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.
00:46:05Now you'll do better.
00:46:08You're a great help.
00:46:09Well, it was the right idea anyway.
00:46:12Joan, did you ever stop to consider what a nice guy I am?
00:46:16Very frequently.
00:46:18And on the other hand, do you realize you're very lovely?
00:46:20You're going to miss that shot.
00:46:24And in the third place, do you realize I'm crazy about you?
00:46:28I know, Bill, but...
00:46:29I'd like to see you give up that flight, Joan.
00:46:31Forget it.
00:46:32But sail to Manila anyhow with me on the yacht.
00:46:37Your yacht sounds good.
00:46:38But your intention?
00:46:39Bad.
00:46:40It would be a grand trip, Joan.
00:46:42Just the two of us.
00:46:43We could take six months doing it.
00:46:45Go by way of Tahiti.
00:46:47Six months?
00:46:49That's a long time, Bill.
00:46:50No.
00:46:51Not when there's you and me in the boat.
00:46:55The moon.
00:46:56The 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 long enough to enjoy life.
00:47:06You make it sound all too interesting, Bill.
00:47:09Pardon me, sir.
00:47:10Well, what is it, Walker?
00:47:11Long Distance is calling Miss Lawson.
00:47:13They insist I'm speaking to her.
00:47:14Well, tell them she's busy.
00:47:16Long Distance from where?
00:47:17Mr. Bradshaw of Los Angeles.
00:47:19Oh.
00:47:20I'd better see what it is.
00:47:23I'll be right back, Bill.
00:47:24All right, Joan.
00:47:25Oh, Walker, you'd better clean this up.
00:47:27Very good, sir.
00:47:29Hello.
00:47:30Hello, Brad.
00:47:31Hello, Joan.
00:47:32How are you?
00:47:33Swell.
00:47:34It's nice to hear your voice again.
00:47:36Listen, you harebrained little halfwit.
00:47:38What's all this hooey about your flying to Manila?
00:47:40Whoever told you you could navigate?
00:47:42Oh.
00:47:43Is that what you called up to say?
00:47:45Listen, you're just grandstanding.
00:47:48What do you know about ocean flying?
00:47:49You wouldn't get 50 miles offshore before you'd get in trouble.
00:47:52Now, forget it.
00:47:53Are you trying to tell me what to do?
00:47:55No, I'm trying to tell you what you can't do.
00:47:58That's what you think.
00:48:05And now let's make that trip a promise.
00:48:07I'm afraid not, Bill.
00:48:08You're not going to make that flight.
00:48:10I'll make it if it's the last thing I do.
00:48:12Oh, but Joan, you're...
00:48:13I'm leaving for the coast Wednesday.
00:48:19Excuse me, sir.
00:48:20Would you mind passing me the eight ball?
00:48:22What?
00:48:23Oh, 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.
00:48:33Check on Bradshaw yourself.
00:48:35Right.
00:48:40Okay, we're rolling.
00:48:42Quiet, please, for sound.
00:48:44Hammer.
00:48:46You're making a fuss over nothing.
00:48:47I won't have it.
00:48:48You can't go off and leave me like this.
00:48:51Cops.
00:48:52What's the matter here?
00:48:53I'm trying to make a picture.
00:48:58Go see who's making that noise.
00:49:00This has been done before.
00:49:01Fine, kids.
00:49:02Reduce the low pitch to 13.
00:49:06Excuse me.
00:49:07Can you hold that noise for a few moments?
00:49:09What for?
00:49:10We're shooting a movie scene out there,
00:49:11and the hammer goes over our soundtrack.
00:49:13Oh, all right.
00:49:14Hold it a few minutes, Stan.
00:49:16Thanks a million.
00:49:21I'll be right back, boys.
00:49:27Camera.
00:49:30You're making a fuss about nothing.
00:49:32I won't have it.
00:49:33You can't go away and leave me like this.
00:49:34You're staying here.
00:49:35I'll be back before you have a chance to miss me.
00:49:38Cut.
00:49:40It's a honey.
00:49:41We'll do that air stuff now.
00:49:42Go ahead and relax, kids, and get in the shade.
00:49:44Nice work.
00:49:45Fine work.
00:49:46Doc, where's Smitty?
00:49:47Where's Smitty?
00:49:48I'm making pictures.
00:49:49I'm making pictures here.
00:49:50Watch your blood pressure.
00:49:51Here he is.
00:49:52Smitty, I want you to show me some fancy flying.
00:49:54Bob, it's really hot.
00:49:55You bet.
00:49:56Where's my chair, do you know?
00:49:57Right over there, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:49:58Thanks.
00:49:59How about a cold drink?
00:50:00Coming up.
00:50:01Attaboy.
00:50:02Well, hello, kittens.
00:50:03Long time no see.
00:50:04Hello, Brad.
00:50:05Drink, Mr. Bradshaw?
00:50:06Yeah, how about you?
00:50:07Mm-hmm.
00:50:08Just been watching you.
00:50:10You like it?
00:50:11You sort of take things easy now, don't you?
00:50:13Easy?
00:50:14For 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?
00:50:20I'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...
00:50:27Oh, I know how it is.
00:50:29You 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?
00:50:48You'll find out.
00:50:52You better clear, Smitty.
00:50:53I'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!
00:51:04You can't take that shit, huh?
00:51:08Doc! Doc!
00:51:09Hey, wait a minute.
00:51:10You can't take a chance like that.
00:51:18Crazy fool!
00:51:20Follow him with the camera, Charlie.
00:51:21Maybe we'll get some good stuff.
00:51:48You idiot, be careful.
00:51:56He's doing everything to play the hound with that ship.
00:51:58The crazy nut and all the dough we got sunk in this picture.
00:52:01Look at him.
00:52:05Brad can do anything.
00:52:07Doc! Doc!
00:52:08Do something! Stop him!
00:52:10What, am I an angel?
00:52:17How'd you like that one?
00:52:48I'm glad that's over.
00:53:00Did you get it, Charlie?
00:53:01It's in the bag.
00:53:02I got stuntmen for these things, Doc.
00:53:04Brad, what's the idea?
00:53:06I'm trying to make a picture.
00:53:08Well, do you think your stuntman could do it any better?
00:53:10The next time I make a...
00:53:12Boss! Boss! Boss!
00:53:13What's your blood pressure?
00:53:14All I'm asking is a little cooperation.
00:53:16And listen, Doc.
00:53:17That gets everything but the oil leak.
00:53:19We're checking that now, Miss Lawson.
00:53:21Okay.
00:53:25Well, did that suit you?
00:53:26Did what suit me?
00:53:28Me, the ship, the flying, I mean.
00:53:31Oh, were you flying?
00:53:33Of course I was flying.
00:53:35Now you can go back to your knitting and forget that crazy flight.
00:53:39I can manage my own affairs very well.
00:53:41It's all right with me.
00:53:42I just thought I'd tell you, that's all.
00:53:44You can only break your neck once.
00:53:46Thanks for the encouragement.
00:53:48Don't mention it, Captain.
00:53:58I came a long way to ask you this, Brad.
00:54:01What do you want me to do about it?
00:54:02Stop her.
00:54:03Don't let Joan make that flight.
00:54:05It looks possible.
00:54:08Stop her.
00:54:09Don't let Joan make that flight.
00:54:11It looks, but she's doing all right without me.
00:54:13She's now reached a point where nobody can even talk to her.
00:54:16You don't understand.
00:54:17She's doing this not because she wants the glory.
00:54:20You're behind it all.
00:54:21Me?
00:54:22What 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.
00:54:28She's bullheaded and won't listen to reason.
00:54:30I've done everything I can do.
00:54:31I suppose you'd like me to get on my knees and beg her.
00:54:34Well, you're wrong.
00:54:35This time I won't do it.
00:54:36Hello?
00:54:37Oh, yes, Diane.
00:54:39Sure, sure.
00:54:40Just a couple more scenes.
00:54:42Eight?
00:54:43Okay.
00:54:44Bye.
00:54:47That's another reason I'm out here.
00:54:49Say, listen.
00:54:50You're not falling for that Bernhardt game, are you?
00:54:52Listen, Spudge, you can just leave Diane's name out of it.
00:54:54There's certain things I don't like to discuss, even with you.
00:54:56Yeah?
00:54:57And 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?
00:55:03Oh, you're going to bring that up again, are you?
00:55:04Well, I told you, I've done everything I can.
00:55:06Come in.
00:55:07You are on stage five, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:55:09Coming up, Doc.
00:55:10Oh, well.
00:55:11I guess there's nothing more I can say, Brad.
00:55:13I'm sorry.
00:55:15Yes, Spudgy, so am I.
00:55:18We're here, Mr. Bradshaw.
00:55:20Okay.
00:55:24See you later, Spud.
00:55:27I want to speak to Miss Diana Audrey.
00:55:30Yeah, Diana Audrey.
00:55:32That's who the Empire Studios is calling.
00:55:34Huh?
00:55:35Well, don't you know where she is?
00:55:37This is very important.
00:55:38Very important.
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:43Yeah.
00:55:48I'm from the studio.
00:55:49They sent me over with the new scenario for Miss Audrey to OK.
00:55:52I'm sorry, Shumster.
00:55:53They want Mr. Bradshaw to see it, too.
00:55:55He's not here either.
00:55:56As a matter of fact, he used to be a guest here at dinner this evening.
00:55:59But 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.
00:56:04I'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.
00:56:10She said to say she's very busy.
00:56:12Oh, thank you.
00:56:14Oh, so you're waiting for Bernhard, too.
00:56:16Bernhard?
00:56:17No, she doesn't live here.
00:56:19I'm waiting for Miss Audrey.
00:56:20And I'm waiting for the guy that's with her.
00:56:22Suppose we wait together.
00:56:24Splendid idea.
00:56:26Oh, would you like to sit in my car?
00:56:28Splendid idea.
00:56:29All right.
00:56:32Well, a little scooter.
00:56:35Glad you like it.
00:56:41Have you ever been in love?
00:56:42Yeah, once.
00:56:44And I'm still paying for it.
00:56:46Ever hear of alimony?
00:56:47Oh, well, you just married the wrong girl.
00:56:50As far as Diana and I are concerned, we're going to...
00:56:52Are you two going to be married?
00:56:54Well, that's where our ideas seem to differ.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:58That's the way it is.
00:56:59It's all one-sided.
00:57:00You're in love with Diana.
00:57:01Diana's in love with another guy.
00:57:03The other guy's in love with himself.
00:57:05Yeah, it's very distressing.
00:57:10Hold it.
00:57:11Hold it.
00:57:12Let's have a fight.
00:57:13How about it?
00:57:14Give us a break.
00:57:15Take a snappy, boys.
00:57:22Holy smoke.
00:57:23Hey, hey.
00:57:24Wake up.
00:57:25We must have overslept.
00:57:26It's 5.30.
00:57:27Joe takes off in 20 minutes.
00:57:29Oh, Diana, you'll never know the pain you've caused me.
00:57:37Here, I'll fix that for you.
00:57:39Relax.
00:57:41Open your pores.
00:57:43That feel better?
00:57:46Excuse me.
00:57:47Did you gentlemen ring?
00:57:48Oh, yes.
00:57:49Remember me?
00:57:50I'm the guy from the studio.
00:57:51Miss Audrey did not come home last night.
00:57:53Remember me?
00:57:54I'm the guy from the studio.
00:57:55Miss Audrey did not come home.
00:57:56And if she had, I know she wouldn't be home to you, sir.
00:57:59Well, fancy that.
00:58:00Say, you want to be a pal?
00:58:02Anything you ask, old man.
00:58:03There's a girl going to commit suicide in a few minutes if we don't stop her.
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:08Oh, well, we should do something about it, shouldn't we?
00:58:11Right.
00:58:12Will you drive me to the airport?
00:58:13Gladly.
00:58:14Come on.
00:58:15Step on it.
00:58:16Miss Lawson, this is the start of an historic occasion.
00:58:23Hurry up.
00:58:24We've only got three minutes.
00:58:26So good luck and Godspeed.
00:58:29Thanks.
00:58:30Clear the field, Stan.
00:58:37Can't you make this go any faster?
00:58:39Well, I can, but I don't think it's a good idea.
00:58:43I'll phone you from Manila.
00:58:44And I'll be waiting.
00:58:46Goodbye, Mr. Parker.
00:58:47Good luck, my dear.
00:58:48Goodbye, everybody.
00:58:50I'll stop her if I have to carry her off the field.
00:58:53Does she weigh very much?
00:58:56All right, boys.
00:58:57Pull the block.
00:58:58Pull it over.
00:59:21I'll tell you.
00:59:22Hey!
00:59:23Stop the car!
00:59:27Stop!
00:59:28Stop, wait!
00:59:33There she goes.
00:59:51All right, mister?
00:59:57Hey, are you crazy?
01:00:00Three on a match?
01:00:01Ain't things bad enough now?
01:00:03Some people have no consideration for others.
01:00:09Lawson to Catalina.
01:00:10Testing.
01:00:11Lawson to Catalina.
01:00:12Testing.
01:00:13One, two, three.
01:00:16Testing.
01:00:17Lawson to Catalina.
01:00:18Testing.
01:00:19One, two, three, four, five, six.
01:00:23Are you getting me OK?
01:00:25Thanks, Catalina.
01:00:27Hey, 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, you will appreciate the understanding,
01:00:42quiet, helpful aid of the Updike Undertaking Service.
01:00:48You got something, all right.
01:01:00Lawson to Airways, Los Angeles.
01:01:02Lawson to Airways, Los Angeles.
01:01:04Come back, please.
01:01:06OK, Airways.
01:01:08Six hours out of Los Angeles.
01:01:10Weather getting heavier.
01:01:11Position uncertain.
01:01:12Please give radio bearing.
01:01:17OK, Airways.
01:01:19Six hours out of Los Angeles.
01:01:22Weather getting heavier.
01:01:23Position uncertain.
01:01:25Please give radio bearing.
01:01:32Hello.
01:01:33Ah!
01:01:35Don't mind me.
01:01:36I just dropped in to borrow a cup of sugar.
01:01:42But where did you come from?
01:01:44I've been back there.
01:01:45It just suddenly occurred to me that when you cracked up on this flight,
01:01:48I'd be responsible because it was my idea in the first place.
01:01:51Well, why did you come?
01:01:52Just so you wouldn't come back and haunt me, kittens.
01:01:55All right, I'll take over.
01:01:57You do nothing of the sort.
01:01:58Well, I better take over.
01:01:59You're miles off your course, aren't you?
01:02:01Haven't you done enough without spoiling this for me?
01:02:04I didn't really think you'd be crazy enough to go.
01:02:06As soon as I get you out of this mess,
01:02:08I won't spoil things for you anymore.
01:02:10You just did it to get publicity.
01:02:13Keep them coming.
01:02:14Yes, sir.
01:02:17Have 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.
01:02:27I've never been so humiliated in my life.
01:02:29Taking 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.
01:02:34Every day we learn something new, Bernhard.
01:02:37Donald, take me home.
01:02:39I'm very sorry.
01:02:41I'm busy.
01:02:46How about doing?
01:02:47That's the way to treat them, Donny.
01:02:49Never give a woman an even break.
01:02:52And Joan Lawson is still unreported,
01:02:5421 hours after taking off from Los Angeles
01:02:56in a redacious solo attempt to reach Manila
01:02:58in record-breaking time.
01:03:00Not a word.
01:03:02This thing is getting out of hand.
01:03:05Not a word.
01:03:06This thing's got me so far down,
01:03:08I'll never be the same again.
01:03:10I don't want to shave.
01:03:12I don't want to sleep.
01:03:13I don't want to eat.
01:03:14I don't even want to drink.
01:03:17Two double scotches.
01:03:18Yes, sir.
01:03:27Hey, hostess.
01:03:31Hostess.
01:03:33Rise and shine, you big beauty,
01:03:34and bring me some coffee, will you?
01:03:36I'm getting just a little bit tired.
01:03:39At your service, Mr. Bradshaw.
01:03:41Here's your coffee.
01:03:42Oh, thanks.
01:03:43Take over, Wif.
01:03:44All right.
01:03:49I thought you were out there asleep.
01:03:50No fire, no sleep.
01:03:51That's the reason I'm here.
01:03:52No, I'm just a little tired.
01:03:53Yeah, maybe you're right.
01:03:54Well, I'm just getting a little tired.
01:03:55Don't worry about it.
01:03:56I'm going to get you some coffee.
01:03:57I'll go get it.
01:03:58Take your time.
01:03:59I'll get it.
01:04:00I'm going to get it.
01:04:01I'll get it.
01:04:02I'll get it.
01:04:03I'll get it.
01:04:04I'll get it.
01:04:05I'll get it.
01:04:06I'll get it.
01:04:07I'll get it.
01:04:08I'll get it.
01:04:09I'll get it.
01:04:10How long did you let her sleep?
01:04:11About five hours.
01:04:12Five hours?
01:04:13Yep, and you snored through an hour of the dirtiest kind of weather.
01:04:17Oh, what did you come for anyway?
01:04:19It was my idea to start with.
01:04:21Besides, the publicity from all this is going to put me right on top of the heap for good.
01:04:35Hey, hey! Look, we've done it!
01:04:40By my reckoning, that's the Bay of San Miguel, only 20 miles from Manila.
01:04:43We have done it!
01:04:45Hey, take over here, will you?
01:04:46Why?
01:04:49Well, I want to get cleaned up. I want to get ready for those cameramen.
01:04:52I really believe that's all you care about.
01:04:54Why not? It's dough, and that's what publicity pays off in, pal. You okay there?
01:05:08Hey, kittens!
01:05:09Yes?
01:05:10I'm hitting the south. There's a nice, flat field down there.
01:05:13What for? What's the matter, Brad?
01:05:15Well, nobody knows I'm aboard. I haven't made any radio calls.
01:05:18Now, you just get in there, hop out of the ship, and say nice things to the crowd, will you?
01:05:22And if you tell a soul you didn't make this flight solo, I'm going to brain you!
01:05:26Brad!
01:05:40She's done it! She's done it! We can see her from here.
01:05:46And the crowd is going wild!
01:05:51Oh, she can do it all the time!
01:06:06She's so great!
01:06:07John's plane is coming down in a wide curve!
01:06:14Hello, John! Hello, America!
01:06:37John's plane is coming down in a wide curve!
01:06:40John's plane is coming down in a wide curve!
01:07:06Silence, please! Silence!
01:07:10Vanilla is proud and honored to greet you on your...
01:07:14...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 let me alone!
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.
01:08:03Myra!
01:08:05Oh, Spud! How could you do what you've done to me?
01:08:09Oh, Myra! Myra! 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!
01:08:36The 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!
01:09:01No, worse luck.
01:09:05But I have hurt you and I'm terribly sorry about it.
01:09:08I guess I'm stuck on you.
01:09:11You're not crazy, are you?
01:09:15Not you.
