00:00You're the top, you're the Colosseum, you're the top, you're the Louvre Museum,
00:21you're a melody from a symphony by Strauss, you're an ascot bonnet, a Shakespeare sonnet, you're Mickey Mouse.
00:31You're the night, you're the Tower of Pisa, you're the smile on the Mona Lisa.
00:43I'm a worthless jet, a total wreck, a flop, but if baby I'm the bottom you're the top.
01:00We have to wait.
01:02Somebody from the police departments arrived.
01:08Did they say if he was in a uniform? A man who was drowned?
01:11What?
01:13Oh never mind.
01:15What are you talking about a uniform for?
01:17Stop being so pedantic Donald.
01:19He could be in the...
01:21Joan what are you talking about?
01:25They didn't say for sure that it was Rafe.
01:27They didn't say anything.
01:29That's what they want to hear from us.
01:31We're here to identify the body.
01:35Well you might be but I'm not.
01:37Donald you are not going to like this.
01:43I can't stay here.
01:44Why ever not?
01:45They'll need you as well as me.
01:46I don't care what they'll need.
01:47I have never seen a dead body before and I am not going to start by looking at poor Rafe.
01:51Oh it's poor Rafe again is it?
01:53Well of course it is if he's dead.
01:54I mean if it is him.
01:55But if it isn't him in there who else could it be?
01:57In last night's star it said...
01:58I know what it said in last night's star.
02:00Donald I am not going to do it and that is final.
02:05Rafe's dead.
02:06I don't want to look at him.
02:08Now will you please get them to ring for a taxi for me.
02:11I simply must get away from this dreadful place.
02:13I must.
02:14If you don't want to do it I don't know why you came with me in the first place.
02:16Because you bullied me into coming along Donald.
02:18Because you're so desperate to find out if that's poor Rafe in there.
02:21And to look at him and to gloat.
02:23Gloat?
02:24Please get them to ring for a taxi for me.
02:26I'll wait for it outside in the good clean air.
02:29Where will you go?
02:33I shall be at the Carlton Hotel.
02:36I'll see you in the lounge there in an hour.
02:39Whenever you're through with this dreadful business.
02:47Got your message?
02:48Sorry if it was in porno mate.
02:50Take a deep breath and read that.
02:54You put your own clobber on him didn't you?
03:00RAF officer wasn't he?
03:03Henry there's no use trying to blackmail me.
03:05I'm trying to help you mate.
03:06Not putting a blag on you.
03:07You hadn't seen it had you?
03:09No.
03:10It was on the late edition of the Star last night and all.
03:12Ralph's planning to put a two noodle together old son.
03:14It's only a matter of when.
03:15I didn't kill him Henry.
03:16I believe you.
03:17Who else will?
03:18I just left him on the beast I thought.
03:19Yeah well that was his hard luck.
03:21What do you do now?
03:22I'm not sure actually.
03:25You've got to get rid of that uniform.
03:27I told you.
03:28It's a protection.
03:29I must say you're taking this very calm.
03:32Have you got some kind of stroke going have you?
03:35Something to get you out of all this?
03:37I sincerely hope so.
03:39I don't think I'll be seeing you for a very long time.
03:43I ain't seen you.
03:45Don't know you.
03:46Never spoke to you.
03:48Take care sir.
03:58Excuse me sir.
03:59Mr. Stimson is it?
04:00Yes.
04:01Detective Sergeant Hammond CID.
04:02Sit down a minute will you sir?
04:03I haven't much time Sergeant.
04:05I'm engaged on work of national importance.
04:08Aren't we all these days sir?
04:12Seems the jacket the deceased man was wearing was made by a West End tailor two years ago.
04:18He had the name Gorse in his order book and the initials RE.
04:21No address given but he remembers because the customer paid him with a dud check.
04:26A dud check.
04:28A dud check.
04:29That's what the tailor said.
04:30He said he was young slim which certainly fits the dead man.
04:33Does that mean something to you sir?
04:35I think I have to see the body first don't I sir?
04:38Hmm.
04:39Certainly sir.
04:40They have him ready for us if you'd like to step this way.
04:44I mean if this man Gorse is a particular friend of yours.
04:47Anything but.
04:56Mr. Stimson.
05:10Is that your Mr. R. E. Gorse?
05:16Can I speak to Miss Clarice Manners please?
05:20What time will she be there?
05:23All right what time is she on duty then?
05:27Well can I leave her a message?
05:30What do you mean I'm not...
05:32Well thank you very much.
05:38How many R. E. Gorses can there be?
05:41I don't know sir but I'd settle for one if somebody could identify him for sure.
05:46It's the war.
05:47People can't be traced.
05:50Everything in a state of flux.
05:53We'll probably never know who he is.
05:54So you won't do any more?
05:57We can't keep him on ice forever.
06:00We'll put him on the general missing list but if nobody claims him in a week or two then the coroner will call it misadventure and that's it.
06:09Can you tell me the cause of death?
06:12Well I shouldn't but it was drowning.
06:15The lungs were full of water.
06:19Were there any marks on him?
06:21Any suggestion of foul play?
06:22Anything like that?
06:23None whatever.
06:25He choked on his own vomit.
06:27The pathologist says a lot of alcohol in his blood obviously drunk when it happened.
06:32We get that sometimes.
06:34Here they fall asleep on the beach.
06:37They forget the tide comes in.
06:39Yes I see.
06:43Well thank you sergeant.
06:45Good day to you sir.
06:47Sorry you've had a wasted journey.
06:49Not necessarily sergeant.
06:51Any messages?
07:00Go in there as well.
07:31May I help you, madam?
07:58No, no, thank you. I'm just waiting for a friend.
08:04Would you like to wait in the foyer bar, madam?
08:07Where is that?
08:08This way, madam.
08:10Perhaps I could bring you coffee or perhaps a drink.
08:20What have you been doing with yourself all day, Ralph?
08:22I tried your room several times.
08:25Oh, this and that.
08:26I, um, I try to get a couple of extra days leave.
08:29I telephoned my unit, but no such luck.
08:32Is the time so important?
08:34What?
08:35You keep looking at your watch.
08:37Oh, I'm sorry.
08:38I was just hoping to hear from an old pal
08:40about what my chances are of getting my ticket out of the Air Force.
08:45You know people in high places, do you?
08:48Oh, no, no.
08:48No, just an opinion.
08:50From an old friend, that sort of thing.
08:52You seem to have an awful lot of old friends, Ralph.
08:54Yeah.
08:56Well, I really must pop up to my room and make that call.
08:59I'll only be a minute, really.
09:29Um, where shall I put it, madam?
09:34Here will do.
09:35Very well, madam.
09:38Excuse me, madam.
09:43Do you mind?
09:45I'm sorry.
09:46I'm expecting someone.
09:50May I speak to you for a moment?
09:52I don't think we've met, have we?
09:54No, but we have something in common.
09:56Or rather, somebody.
09:57Really?
09:59Who could that be?
10:03Rafe Gorse.
10:05You know Ralph?
10:06Oh, yes.
10:07Very well.
10:09I see.
10:10Were you expecting to meet him here?
10:14Not really, no.
10:15No.
10:16I was surprised, actually.
10:19Yes, surprised.
10:23My name is Joan Plumley-Bruce, by the way.
10:25I'm Alison Warren.
10:26Have you known Ralph a long time, Mrs. Plumley-Bruce?
10:32Well, let us say, it seems like a long time.
10:34He and I were quite close friends for a while.
10:40I see.
10:41I see.
10:45Rafe isn't the reliable sort, but I...
10:47I like him.
10:49I always have.
10:50He has such charm, don't you find?
10:53Oh, yes.
10:55He has that all right.
10:57You sound a little upset, are you?
11:00Have I upset you?
11:01I'm sorry.
11:02I'm perfectly all right, thank you.
11:06You're going to find this a very impertinent question, Mrs. Warren.
11:08But have you lent Rafe any money at all?
11:13I think that's my business.
11:16Yes.
11:17It was an impertinent question, I'm sorry.
11:22I'm afraid I may have been rather foolish.
11:26Oh, don't reproach yourself.
11:29Was it a lot of money?
11:30Two hundred pounds.
11:31Oh, that's not a lot of money to Rafe.
11:32It is to me.
11:34I suppose you could call it payment in kind, really.
11:37What?
11:38You've slept with him, haven't you?
11:40Really?
11:41This is outrageous.
11:42No, it isn't.
11:43I did the same thing myself.
11:44Well, I'm sure that's your business and nobody else's.
11:47Have you never felt that perhaps Rafe isn't all that he seems to be?
11:53Now, be honest with yourself, Mrs. Warren, if not with me.
11:57I really have no idea what you're talking about.
12:01And I'm wasting my time.
12:04Excuse me.
12:05No, this is not a personal call.
12:32It's Pilot Officer Gore speaking.
12:39Ralph?
12:39Thank God, Clarice.
12:41Look, I've got to get out of here now.
12:43The police have got my name.
12:45My tailor's label must have given me away.
12:46It was in the jackets.
12:47Nobody's been to see you from the police.
12:50No, but they soon will be.
12:52I'm not sure if my doctor friend will be at a surgery.
12:55But come up to London now.
12:56Go straight to my flat by taxi.
12:58Well, how will I get in?
12:59I'll leave the keys next door at number 27.
13:01Have you got that?
13:02Yeah, I've got it.
13:03And Ralph, keep calm.
13:05Just get rid of that uniform.
13:06Yes, of course.
13:07I've got my civvy suit, so it's all right.
13:09Okay, fine.
13:10Look, I must go.
13:11I'll see you later.
13:11Right, and Clarice?
13:13Yes?
13:15Thank you, darling.
13:16I'd like to settle my bill, please.
13:42Gorse.
13:43G-O-R-S-E.
13:44Very good, sir.
13:45Yes, I'm having to leave urgently.
13:46I've just been given a new posting.
14:05Your chain, sir.
14:07Shall I tell the porter to bring your bags down, sir?
14:09I think I can manage.
14:10Oh, Donald, you gave me a shock.
14:28I've another shock for you.
14:29Sir, that body in the mortuary is not Ralph Gorse.
14:34Really?
14:35It isn't?
14:36No, it isn't.
14:38Oh, waiter.
14:39Sir.
14:39Got a pint of bitter?
14:40We serve only half pints in the lounge, sir.
14:43Well, bring me two half pints from here.
14:45Two half pints?
14:46Yes.
14:46Certainly, sir.
14:47The point is, if that body in the mortuary is not Ralph Gorse, where the hell is he?
15:01He's here, Donald.
15:03In this hotel.
15:06Here?
15:08And you knew about it all the time?
15:10Well, he wrote to me a begging letter a couple of days ago.
15:16Why the hell didn't you tell me?
15:17Oh, for heaven's sake, Donald.
15:20He has nothing to do with us anymore.
15:23It was a mistake to come here.
15:25And don't get worked up about it.
15:28Ralph is a pilot in the Air Force.
15:30He has his wings.
15:31He's a hero.
15:32Ha!
15:33A hero?
15:34If he was given the Victoria Cross by King George himself, I wouldn't believe it.
15:45You asked about the dead man wearing a uniform, didn't you?
15:48In the mortuary.
15:50You suspected something even then.
15:52And tried to protect him even then.
15:56What else are you keeping from me about Gorse?
16:00Well, if you mustn't know, Ralph has a lady friend.
16:04Rather well-to-do woman, I would say.
16:06Mrs. Alison Warren.
16:08And he seems to spend most of his time with her.
16:11My God, you sound jealous.
16:13I don't give a damn how I sound, Donald.
16:17And I'll tell you something else.
16:19This woman he's picked up.
16:22She's lent him money.
16:24How do you know that?
16:26She told me.
16:27What are you doing?
16:47I've got to go.
16:48I'm sorry.
16:48I'm in a bit of a hurry, darling.
16:50Who is it this time?
16:51The beautiful Wren?
16:52Oh, I told you she's just an old friend.
16:55I know what you told me.
16:57What's the matter, Alison?
16:59I rather think you are, Ralph.
17:02Me?
17:04What have I done?
17:06What's happened to your hand?
17:07Where's your bandage?
17:08I took it off.
17:10Didn't seem to be helping much.
17:11Anyway, I've got to go in front of a medical board tomorrow.
17:13Really?
17:14Yes.
17:14And if I show them it's improved a lot,
17:16there's always a good chance they might post me back to duty.
17:18I don't believe a single bloody word you say, Ralph.
17:20I really don't.
17:23Take it.
17:24I could manage without it.
17:25Goodbye, Alison.
17:33Ralph, I knew you're a fake.
17:37In how many ways I can only guess.
17:43Do you want to talk about it?
17:45Or do you want me to report it?
17:47Let's talk about it.
17:48In my room, then, I have something to show you.
17:55All right.
18:02I must say,
18:04I think you are being utterly
18:06crass about the whole business.
18:08But the dead man was in Gorse's suit.
18:11And if he was,
18:12how did he get into it, eh?
18:14If he was, if he was,
18:16the whole thing's it and that's...
18:18But the man's dead, Joan.
18:21And Gorse,
18:22according to you,
18:23is still in this hotel, isn't he?
18:26Mr. Gorse's room number, please.
18:27Mr. Gorse has just checked out, sir.
18:29Checked out?
18:30Yes, sir.
18:31Room 521.
18:32He's probably left the key in the room.
18:35521.
18:35This is from my brother at the Air Ministry.
18:54He checked with RAF records at Gloucester.
18:58There's no such person as Pilot Officer Ralph Gorse.
19:01Rubbish.
19:03He made a mistake.
19:04No, he didn't.
19:06If you're not an officer,
19:07who are you, for God's sake?
19:09Alison.
19:09A thief?
19:10It isn't what it seems.
19:11A confidence man?
19:12Oh, I know all about that.
19:14I had it firsthand from your ex-lady friend,
19:17Mrs. Joan Plumley,
19:18whatever her name is.
19:19When did you talk to her?
19:21Just now.
19:22Well, she's here.
19:23Very much so.
19:24And still starry-eyed about you, I'd say.
19:27But I'm not.
19:28Not in the least.
19:30Not anymore.
19:31Is she alone?
19:33Is anybody with her?
19:34Is anybody with her?
20:04Hello?
20:09RAF?
20:11Joan?
20:20Hello?
20:22Operator?
20:24There's an explanation, Alison.
20:25If only you'd listen.
20:27I'm none of the things that Joan told you I was.
20:29I'm quite simply a deserter.
20:31You see, I'm on the run.
20:32I've got to go.
20:33Deserter?
20:34Oh, darling, if I get caught,
20:35I get put inside a military prison
20:36and they aren't very nice.
20:38I'm sorry if I've lied to you,
20:39but that is the absolute truth.
20:41You have...
20:42Excuse me, I've got to go.
20:43I've lost a husband.
20:45A better man dead than you are alive.
20:46Yes, I'm sure of that.
20:47I'd respect you, at least that.
20:49If you'd give yourself up and take what's coming to you.
20:57That's perhaps you're right.
20:57If I promise to give myself up, would that be enough?
21:05If I give you my word, I'll walk straight out of this hotel
21:07and to the nearest military police unit.
21:10Would that satisfy you?
21:11No, because you wouldn't do it, would you?
21:19Darling.
21:23No, don't!
21:25You've made a complete, bloody fool of me.
21:29You've taken my money.
21:30Alison.
21:32Did you no harm?
21:34You're not the worst for having known me.
21:36What have you lost?
21:36A few quid.
21:38It was a nice little interlude.
21:41Surely we can leave it at that.
21:43Why make more of it than it is?
21:44Because you can't be allowed to get away with it.
21:46Because you've been getting away with murder for a very long time.
21:49That woman downstairs.
21:50Me.
21:51God knows who else.
21:53No, Ralph!
21:55This is the end.
21:56Because I intend to tell my brother just exactly who and what you are.
22:01You are an absolute, unmitigated bastard, Ralph Gould!
22:07You're contemptible.
22:09You pretend to be a gentleman, but you're just a nobody.
22:12And a military prison's the right place for you,
22:14and I intend to see that's where you go,
22:15and I hope you rot there.
22:17Oh, Ralph.
22:41Ralph.
22:47Ralph.
22:47I don't know.
23:17I don't know.
23:47I don't know.
24:17I don't know.
24:47I don't know.
24:59But isn't anyone in, sir?
25:02Seemingly not.
25:03I think there was, sir.
25:04At least there was a couple of minutes ago.
25:07Oh?
25:07Oh, they must have gone out, sir.
25:16How did you know there was somebody in the room?
25:24Well, I went to turn the bed down and I heard voices, so I didn't go in.
25:28Don't you ever go in a room when people are in it?
25:30I'm not really supposed to say, sir, but they were having a...
25:33They were having words, I think, sir.
25:37A lady and a gentleman.
25:39Words?
25:40Did you hear what they were saying?
25:43No, sir.
25:44Oh, sorry.
25:47Well?
25:49Well?
25:53Of course, it's gone.
26:13Mrs. Warren's room is locked.
26:17Oh?
26:18Well, she's gone out.
26:22Well, the clerk said she was in.
26:25The key's not at reception.
26:27Well, she took it with her.
26:29I mean, people do sometimes.
26:30Just a minute.
26:38Excuse me.
26:39Did Mr. Gorse have a motorcar with him?
26:42Yes, I believe he did, sir.
26:43In fact, it's still in the car park.

34:32Let's go.
34:33Let's go.
34:34Let's go.
34:35Why are you here?
34:36Because until you came into my life, I was content.
34:38Until you violated the woman I loved and respected of all else in the world.
34:40That's why I'm standing here.
34:41That's why I will not rest until I see you gone from this Earth.
34:55Oh, my God.
35:25Oh, my God.
35:55The taxi's here, ma'am.
36:25The taxi's here.
36:55I wish I didn't have to do this.
37:23Oh, my God.
37:25I'm dreading it.
37:26There's nothing to worry about.
37:28Just give your evidence in a clear voice.
37:30You're enjoying it.
37:32Your damn vendetta.
37:34I'm dreadful, sordid publicity, the newspapers writing all that awful stuff.
37:40I tell you, Gorse is finished.
37:43I'll never be able to go in the Fox and Hounds again, or anywhere else for that matter.
37:47My life is in ruins.
37:49The forensic evidence has linked him to the murder.
37:52The prosecution has established motive.
37:54I don't think I'm going to go into that witness box.
37:59Well, I had to, and so do you.
38:01We've got no choice.
38:03We were witnesses to the whole business.
38:05You don't care about me, do you?
38:06All you care about is seeing Rafe convicted.
38:09Our evidence will be the final nail.
38:12Who knows what they'll ask in that witness box.
38:14Oh, why worry?
38:15You've got nothing to hide, have you?
38:20Mrs. Jo Lomley-Bruce.
38:39I was waiting by the motor car.
38:41Rafe's motor car, when...
38:46When?
38:49What happened?
38:50Take your time.
38:54I saw him come into the car park.
38:58And what happened then?
39:01He saw me.
39:04And then?
39:08He ran away.
39:10You're sure it was the defendant?
39:12Just point to him, if you will, Mrs. Plumley-Bruce.
39:15It was Rafe.
39:18It was Ralph Ernest Gorse, the accused.
39:20Yes, yes.
39:22No more questions of this witness, my lord.
39:28Do you still love Ralph Gorse?
39:30What?
39:31It's perfectly straightforward question.
39:32Do you still love Ralph Gorse?
39:35I...
39:36I'm...
39:37Fond.
39:40I...
39:41I mean, I was...
39:42Fond of him.
39:43Fond of him?
39:44I admit that you were much more than fond of him, Mrs. Plumley-Bruce.
39:48I admit that you and he were intimate on a number of occasions.
39:53And that you loved him.
39:55And that perhaps you still do.
39:58No, I don't...
40:00Please, that's not fair.
40:02You and your present, uh...
40:05Paramore, Mr. Stimpson,
40:07pursued Gorse to Brighton, did you not?
40:11We did not pursue him.
40:13I did not pursue him.
40:14I submit that you did.
40:15In an attempt to get him back into your bed.
40:18When you found you couldn't, you invented the story of seeing him running away from the scene of the murder.
40:23No.
40:25I further submit that in common with Donald Stimpson, you were sexually jealous of the accused.
40:31In Stimpson's case, because Gorse had slept with you.
40:35In your case, because he'd slept with Alison Warren.
40:39No.
40:41That isn't true.
40:43I've no further questions of this witness, my lord.
40:47May I put a supplementary, my lord?
40:49Do so.
40:51Mrs. Plumley-Bruce,
40:54you were once the lover of Ralph Gorse.
40:58Yes.
41:00Very well.
41:02Now, was there anything at all strange about the lovemaking of Ralph Gorse?
41:11I don't know what you mean.
41:14Let me put it another way.
41:17Did he ever frighten you?
41:19Or threaten you?
41:22No.
41:23Did he ever tie anything around you?
41:26Around your neck, for example?
41:36It was only in play.
41:37And what was it?
41:41A sash.
41:43He tied a sash around your neck?
41:46Once, yes.
41:49Did you like it?
41:50No.
41:52Then why did you allow him to do it?
41:55Because I loved him then.
42:00I loved him then.
42:01Thank you, Mrs. Plumley-Bruce.
42:06You may stand down, Mrs. Plumley-Bruce.
42:22Joan?
42:24How'd it go?
42:27Joan?
42:31It was absolutely the worst thing I have ever had to do in my life.
42:39Shaming.
42:41Degrading.
42:44Horrible, and you made me do it, Donald!
42:46Joan!
42:48It was Gorse, not me.
42:50Without him, none of this would have happened.
42:51Now, look, Joan.
42:53Let's go away from Reading.
42:55Let's find a house somewhere else.
42:57Let's put all this behind us.
42:58Just the two of us, together.
43:00Now, forget Ralph Gorse.
43:02Forget and forgive.
43:03Forgive.
43:04You may forget and forgive if you want, Donald Stimpson.
43:07And good luck to you.
43:10But I have been branded a loose woman in that courtroom for all the world to see.
43:15And I do not forget and forgive.
43:18Goodbye.
43:33Ralph Gorse.
43:37Ralph Gorse,
43:39In accordance with the law,
43:42you will be taken from this place
43:45to a place of execution
43:47and held there for three clear Sundays.
43:50And there,
43:52on a day to be decided,
43:54you will be hanged by the neck until you are dead.

48:07Don't do tight, old boy.
48:37You're a turkey dinner.
48:41You're the time of a Derby winner.
48:45I'm a toy balloon that's faded soon to pop.
48:50But if, baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top.
48:53I'm a worthless check, a total wreck of luck.
49:08But if, baby, I'm the bottom, you're the top.
49:12I'm the bottom, you're the top.
49:19I'm the top.
49:21I'm the bottom.
