"I'm in Love All Over Again"]

* I'm in love

* All over again
I'm in love *

* All over again

* Tell me what did you do
You're better than you *

* I'm in love
all over again *

* Got a trick

* Of fixing your hair
pretty slick *

* The clothes that you wear

* Baby even your kiss
was never like this *

* I'm in love
all over again.. *

[tires screeching]

[people chattering]

Here they come.

That college gang is here.

Half strength
on all their drinks.

[indistinct chatter]

* I'm in love
all over again *

- Ted.
- Get me my secretary.

- Ah, here you are, Molly.
- Hail maestro!

- Hello, Jane. How are you?
- Fine.

- Your show was grand, Doug.
- Did you like it?

You've certainly produced the
best musical done at college.

I had a great gang.
How about a dance later?

- Certainly.
- I'll be over.

- You beautiful thing...
- Uh-uh.

Okay.

* Aah I'm in love

* All over again
I'm in love *

* All over again

* Tell me what did you do
You're better than you *

* I'm in love
all over again *

* Got a trick

* Of fixing your hair
pretty slick *

* The clothes that you wear

* Baby even your kiss
was never like this *

* I'm in love
all over again *

* Even thought we try
a separation *

* Our little romance
was growing strange *

* When you floated back
in circulation *

* The situation
began to change *

* Here is my heart

* All over again
can't we start *

* All over again

* I just needed a shove

* And heavens above

* I'm in love
all over again *

* I'm in love

* All over

* Again *

[crowd clapping]

[instrumental music]

* Palsy Walsy
how're they treatin' you? *

[shouting]

* Palsy

* Walsy

* Lend me your elegant ear

* Met your darling mother
your sister too *

* They're young as ever
and so are you *

* Palsy Walsy

* Fancy my meetin' you here

* Are my senses leaving me
and are my eyes deceiving me *

* Why sweetheart, it's
your uncle from Spokane *

* Will you get off the floor

* Please have someone
show you out *

* Before we have
to throw you out *

* You can't throw out
your uncle from Spokane *

* Mmm, that's what you think

* How I've longed to meet
somebody like you soon *

* If I never meet you
that'll be too soon *

No!

* Palsy Walsy

* How're they treatin' you?

* Fancy my meeting you here

* Palsy Walsy..

Let me throw 'em out.

Did you ever play football?

* Met your darling mother
your sister too *

* They're young as ever
and so are you *

* Palsy Walsy

* How're they treatin' you?

* Fancy my meeting you here *

[crowd applauding]

You hear that?
We're a hit.

And to see,
I owe it all to you.

[applause continues]

[clapping and whistling]

[knocking on door]

Who is it?

[knocking continues]

Hello, partner.

'Thanks. I'll wait
out here.'

Would you mind
passing me out a chair?

Hello.

Will you tell the manager
that one of those

fresh college boys
is annoying me?

I'm the manager.
Get away from that door!

I was only waiting to take Miss,
uh, Miss what's-her-name home.

Or maybe she doesn't want you
to take her home.

Silly of her if she doesn't
'cause I'm a pretty nice fella

and I think she's divine.

'Get out of here
before I throw you out.'

- Oh, you're gonna get tough?
- Yes, I'm gonna get tough.

- Well, start something.
- That's just what I'm gonna do.

[grunts]

'I'll drag you out of here
by the neck.'

Let go off my throat.
Let go.

Let go off me.
Let go.

Well, fancy meeting
you here.

- What...
- Shh.

[knocking]

Hello, partner.

"Breathes there the man
with soul so dead

"who never to himself
hath said.

You're an angel."

That gives me an idea.

I'm gonna write a little song
about you someday.

[clattering]

Now, that's hardly
a friendly attitude.

Do you have to annoy me?

I just dropped around to tell
you I'll be back

tomorrow night,
and the following night

and each consecutive night
for an interminable period.

I hope you enjoy the new show.
This is my last night.

Leaving us?
Tch-tch-tch.

Would you mind autographing
this for me?

Where did you get
my picture?

From a little frame
out by the door.

Oh, hold on, that's mine.

Oh, well, I'd prefer
whenever you're smiling.

- Do you, ever?
- Yes, when I'm amused.

You know, I think I could use
you in my fall production.

I don't play animal-act.

No, really. I'm putting on a
Broadway show next season.

You're putting on your show
right now, and it's a flop.

Wait a minute.
I'll meet you out front.

Hey.

[laughing]

I hope you make it in time
for your fall production.

How did I get in?

Oh, man!

Goodbye, partner.

[screaming]
Help!

[intense music]

[tapping foot]

[swing music]

- You're a college graduate?
- Yes, sir.

- Travelled here and abroad?
- Yes, sir.

- How many languages you speak?
- Five, sir.

Well, I think we can use you.

Salary, 22.50 a week.

- But don't you think that...
- Report at 9 in the morning.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Thank you, sir.

[people chattering]

This radio station is one of the
largest enterprises of its kind.

A Metropolis in itself
complete with theatres

stores, cafes, and offices
representing every form

of art and industry, employing
an army of men and women.

There are 1222 miles
of hallways and corridors.

666,000 square feet
of floor space

and 1,000,283 separate and
distinct articles of fabrication

were used in its construction.

So what!

And now, we will enter
the main broadcast auditorium.

The Rex Hour is on the air, and
absolute silence must prevail.

[instrumental music]

* I'm in love
all over again *

* I'm in love
all over again *

* Tell me what did you do
You're better than you *

* I'm in love
all over again *

* Got a trick
Got a trick *

* Of fixing your hair
pretty slick *

* The clothes that you wear

* Baby even your kiss
was never like this *

* I am in love
all over again *

* Even thought we try
a separation *

* Our little romance
was growing strange *

* When you floated back
in circulation *

* The situation began
to change *

* Here's my heart
all over again *

* Can't we start
all over again *

* I just needed a shove

* And heavens above

* I am in love
all over again *

* Love is magic

* What I know of it
has me up a tree *

* Love is crazy

* After full of it
what's come over me *

* We both said goodbye
and parted *

* We agreed that
it was there *

* Now I've got to
make up all of it *

* Why haven't I confessed?

* I'm in love

* All over

[banging on the drum]

* Tell me what did you do
You're better than you *

[whispering]
What do you mean by bringing
those people here?

Take off that uniform
and get out. You're fired!

You're fired.

He beat you to it.

Shh.

Get those people out of here.

[mark tree jingling]

Oh, I beg your pardon, sir.

Young man..

I'm looking
for the Patio Bar.

- Good idea.
- Yes, indeed.

- Hi, Doug.
- Hi.

Let me see, just-just
where are we now?

Hello, pop. I thought
you were going to Patio Bar.

Well, bless me,
so did I.

- What place is this?
- Well, sir..

You're now in the locker
rooms of one of the largest

enterprises in the world.
Complete with...

- Yes, I know, I know.
- If you watch closely

you'll see a young man make
a quick change and get out.

Oh, you're quitting your job.

That, in substance,
is the idea, major.

Commodore, Sir.

Commodore Jason T. Thatcher.

Commodore it is then.
If you'll just port your helm

and bear slightly windward,
I'll slip into these stripes.

I suppose you're going
into a better business.

Show business.
Would you call that better?

No, sir, I would not.

You are talking, sir, to a man
who has given his life's blood

to the theater.

There is no business
so precarious

- 'so uncertain of rewards.'
- 'But think of the fun.'

My young friend, it's
a wretched business at best.

It has nothing to offer
a man without capital.

But I can get capital.

Eh, well, my boy, of course

that puts a different face
on the matter.

It always does.

Actually, the theatre offers
a splendid opportunity

to a man with a small amount
of capital.

Ahem, now, by a strange
coincidence, I happen to know

of a play that's in production
at this very minute

in which a man could invest
a few dollars

and indubitably reap
a small fortune.

Uh, I say, ah, young man.
Here, here.

Father, where have you been?

Have you seen a young man
that just changed his pants?

- His pants?
- Yes.

I had him right in the palm
of my hand and lost him.

Confound the luck.

But you can see him
some other time.

- I've got to find him now.
- Oh, father, but...

Oh, there you are.

Daughter, I want you
to meet one of my oldest

and dearest friends,
mister, uh-uh..

Tyler, Douglas Tyler,
I'm delighted Miss Thatcher.

How do you do?

Ah, Mr. Tyler and I have
a mutual affection, my dear.

- The theater.
- Oh.

Ah, shouldn't we
be going, father?

There's no hurry.

I was just about to ask
Mr. Tyler up for dinner.

But we have such
an early dinner.

Then we should get started,
don't you think?

Why, by all means.

Oh, look here now, Tyler, that's
taking an unfair advantage.

- There you are.
- My guest you know.

Oh, I'm sorry, Commodore,
I paid without thinking.

Well, it's a bad habit
to get into.

Quarter's a bit down

nothing elaborate
you understand but cozy.

A little teaser
to loosen us up a bit.

Thanks.

Now, let me see

just when did you say
this money would be available?

Hmm? Money?
Oh, the money. Anytime.

Tell me, um,
did Miss Thatcher go out?

No, no, no, she's
about somewhere.

- Sit down, my boy.
- Thanks very much.

Now, as I was saying,
the production, Hooray For Love

is taking on fine shape.

Fortunately, the producers
are two of my oldest

and dearest friends.

And, uh, ahem, I may be able
to persuade the boys to part

with a small piece
of the show.

Mind you, I said
I might be able to.

Chop's coming right
along, my dear?

- Yes, in a moment, father.
- Uh, may I?

- Thanks, I think I can manage.
- Ah..

Charming girl, your daughter.

Nice of you to go
to all this trouble for me.

Oh, anything
to make you happy.

(Tyler)
'It's a special ambition
of mine to feature you'

'in my first production.
Or did I tell you.'

(Patricia)
'Yes, I think you did.'

Sorry, I'm already rehearsing
in a play.

- What kind of a play?
- A musical

called Hooray For Love,
if you must know.

Ooh, Hooray For Love.
Good show?

(Patricia)
'Surely not as good as the one
you'll produce, but it'll do.'

Huh, hot.

Careful, not too much salt.

- You don't like salt?
- Hate salt.

You forgot this little corner
over here.

Thank you.

Tell me, uh,
is the young one mine?

How did you guess?

Mr. Ganz, do you recall
telling me the other afternoon

when my daughter
was rehearsing

that you could use
some additional money?

Whether you like it or not,
you'll be in my fall production.

- Bet you my high head I won't.
- It's a bet.

Ganz, I've got your man.

Shrubbery and ground's
all in good shape.

- What rent is it bringing in?
- Just enough to pay the taxes.

But it's a valuable property.
Surely, you could loan me

15,000 on it.

You know, Douglas

it was father's wish
that you keep the place.

Yes, I know.

I hate to take a chance on
losing it, it's all I have left.

But I've got
to have the money.

But the theater business
is an outright gamble.

Anything is a gamble to a fellow
who doesn't know his oats.

But I think I know something
about the theater.

There's a wide difference
between college plays

and Broadway productions.

But one has to start somewhere,
and there doesn't seem to be

any room for me at the bottom.
So I'll start at the top.

Alright, take your
positions, girls.

Music.

[piano music]

Come ahead.

Wait a minute,
where's Gambarelli?

She's supposed to enter
with her father.

(male #1)
'She's coming.'

Well, tell her to hurry up,
Mr. Ganz is waiting.

I'm afraid you won't get much
idea of the number this way.

We expect it to be one
of the highlights of the show.

Chowsky, explain how
you're putting it on.

With pleasure, Mr. Ganz.

The setting is
a magnificent art saloon

with terrific big pictures
all around, very lovely.

Gambarelli is coming with her
father to sell his paintings.

I see.

Visualize it, Tyler.

With beautiful costumes
and a full orchestra.

[slow-paced orchestral music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

[music intensifies]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

[music pauses]

[music resumes]

Splendid! Splendid!

What do you think
of it now, Tyler?

Uh, shouldn't Miss Chummy appear
for Mr. Tyler's benefit?

You see, uh, Judge Peterby owns
a small piece of the show.

I've contributed, not only
in the shape of money

but also in the shape
of, uh, Miss Chummy.

- Like it?
- It looks pretty good.

We have enough capital
for a good show

but we wanna put on
a great show.

Your 15,000 would allow us
to do it.

Hmm, well, I feel it needs
certain changes.

Now, the Bill Robinson number.
I think if you played that

in a street in Harlem,
you'd get more out of it.

Good idea, we'll use it.
Right Grady?

Right.

Miss Chummy brings a new
personality into the theater.

Uh, my advice would be to accept
the boys' generous offer, Tyler.

You don't have
to sell me, Commodore.

All I wanna know is, will I have
a voice in the production?

As a partner, you'll have as
much to say as Grady and myself.

They've adopted a little
idea of mine, Tyler.

- Let's sign the papers.
- You're using good judgment.

We'll go right up
to the office.

Alright, we can rehearse
Miss Chummy now.

Aah!

(Commodore)
Mr. Ganz, Mr. Ganz?

We may as well adjust
our little business now.

The understanding was

that I was to receive
10% if you recall.

Uh, 10% of the show.
No cash, Commodore.

Oh, but confounded, sir,
I insist upon the cash.

I'm not putting money
into plays at my age.

Well, if you'd prefer $1500
to a possible fortune

it's alright
with me, Commodore.

Uh, Regan?

Yes, Mr. Ganz.

Has Bryson called
about the ticket buy?

- 'Bryson?'
- Yes.

He was to call and make
an offer for a block of seats

for six weeks.
Uh, let me see, um

300 seats at four dollars,
uh, $1200.

Multiplied by eight, uh, $9600.

Multiplied by six

roughly, uh,
$58,000, uh...

Pardon, pardon me, Mr. Ganz.
On, ahem, on second thought

I may take an interest
in the show for my percentage.

I'm not in need of cash
at the moment

and it may offer me
a bit of diversion.

Well, now you're talking.
Come along, Commodore

we'll fix you right up.

- Are you alright?
- Mm-hmm. Oh, I feel fine.

You see, Trixie, now that
this young Tyler

has brought more money
into the play

I shall arrange for you
to have more to do.

- And you may become a star.
- A real star?

A great star. Possibly as big
as-as a planet.

Well, where is she?
Where's Miss Chummy?

Well, I've called her twice,
she's over there with the judge.

Tell everybody else to go home,
I'll attend to her.

Okay.

Alright, Miss Chummy

we'll go through that new number
you've been telling me about.

- I brought my own piano player.
- You wouldn't trust ours, heh?

Yes, but he knows
all my routines.

He does, huh? Mm-hmm.

[wailing]

Listen, being that
it's a new number today

just for the sake of novelty,
please try to sing

the same notes
what he plays.

- Alright, ahem.
- Music.

[clears throat]

[falsetto singing]

What have you got in your mouth?
Firecrackers?

Must you give out
with that shrill gargling?

Well, I'm a dramatic coloratura.

Coloratura?

Music.

[piano music]

* Fluttering chirping
birds of spring *

* Come back to your home
in the north and sing *

[falsetto singing]

What do you think
you're doing now?

- 'Singing.'
- Who told you?

Here, here, none of that.
Give the little girl a chance.

Remember, Rome was not built
in a day.

Please, please.

Not too close
to the artist.

My dear Miss Chummy, straighten
out your tonsils and try to...

Mr. Chowsky, I can't sing if
the atmosphere isn't cogelial.

- The atmosphere isn't what?
- Cogelial.

Not only sings a broken melody
but speaks a broken English.

- Music.
- Winter.

* Winter has passed,
oh winter no more *

* So way up in the sky
you can soar, can soar *

[yodeling]

* All is such a..

* And you are free

* To build your nest.

Wait a minute.

What's that business
with the tangled digits?

I'm building a nest,
you see it's all symbolical.

I see.

- Music.
- Flying.

* Flying and floating
rest on your wing *

* Just joy and happiness
around you bring *

[piano music]

- Do you have to dance also?
- I gotta show my versatility.

That's versatility, huh?

Yes, you can never tell
what I'll develop into.

You should only develop
into double pneumonia.

Here, here, here.

Sweetheart, is he annoying you?

Well, no.

No one beneath me
could hurt me

and no one above me
would hurt me.

What a beautiful sentiment.

Now, you let her finish.

Music.

Cooing.

* Cooing, billing birds
of spring *

* Come back each year
and sing and sing *

Cooing and billing birds
of spring, come back and...

Pardon me, something
is bothering you?

- I forgot the words.
- That's fine.

* Oh that is what
he taught me to.. *

* Spreading sunshine
and gladness *

* And teaching lessons of love

* Fluttering, chirping
birds of spring *

[yodeling]

[yodeling continues]

What a lovely pizzicato.

To you, that's a pizzicato.
To me, that's a pizzinati.

I know, music.

[yodeling]

All my life, I've looked forward
to America.

I suffered fire, floods,
pestilence, and starvation

to get here. And when I arrive,
what does America give me?

- A hillbilly.
- Oh.

Now, you see what you've done?
I warn you.

Any more insults, and I take my
money and Miss Chummy

out of this production.

Wait, to compromise,
just take out Miss Chummy.

Ignoramus.

Hold it.

(Douglas)
Stand right where you are.

No, I mean Miss Thatcher.

Mm-hmm, in something of silk.

Hurry up. Get to the funny part
so I can laugh.

The funny part is, I've won your
high hat. Off with it please.

Tell me more.

You are now talking
to one of your employers.

The young man with a fall
production, remember?

Oh, yes, that is funny.

Where would you get money
to put into a show?

Well, young lady,
I'll tell you.

The only thing ahead was the old
homestead in Connecticut.

So I put a plaster on it.

You trying to tell me
you mortgaged

something to buy into this show?

Any law against it?

Did my father talk you
into this?

The old gentleman
with a lovely daughter?

(Patricia)
Answer my question.

Well, being my oldest
and dearest friend

he was kind enough to introduce
me to the producers.

'Ah, just a minute.'

- You owe my a high hat.
- Sue me?

Oh, hello, my dear.

Just sitting here anticipating
a few small profits.

Your rehearsal go well?

Father, you got him to put
everything into this show.

But, my dear, I did him
a great favor.

The show unquestionably
will be a tremendous success.

I know you expect it,
but what if it isn't?

Well, I didn't mean
any harm.

I didn't know you were
interested in him.

I'm not interested in him.
But why do you do such things?

But, my dear, I was just trying
to earn a small pittance.

At somebody else's expense.

Well, I've done the wrong
thing again I suppose.

I know I haven't been much
of a father to my little girl.

More or less
of a reprobate I guess.

No tragics, father, please.

Oh, I'm an old rascal,
and it's a fact.

I've been a burden
to you all your life.

But it isn't to late
to right matters.

I shall square everything
with one magnificent gesture.

'Though it means putting my head
in the pillar, eh.'

I shall do it.

Father, what are
you talking about?

I'll marry the duchess.

You're not going
into that duchess routine again.

- This time, I mean it.
- She's a very nice woman.

A little kittenish perhaps,
but you'd be lucky to get her.

But then, you wouldn't
marry anyone

you think too much
of your freedom.

No man should ever marry a woman
unless he can't do without her.

And I can do
without the duchess.

So that's out.

Well, one thing remains.

From now on,
I shall stand on my own feet.

[thumps cane]

[orchestral music]

[music continues]

[melodious piano music]

* You're an angel

* You're so understanding

* Think of heaven handing me

* A dream like you

* You're an angel

* You're an inspiration

* What a combination

* You're a sweetheart too

* Makes no difference
where I look *

* You're all I see

* Close as pages in a book

* That's how we'll be

* For

* When you taught me

* What my heart
was made for *

* I got what I prayed for

* You're an angel *

Very lovely..

- Like it?
- You're amazing.

Produce plays, direct,
write songs, even sing them.

Well, think
of my an inspiration.

Regan, where's Mr. Ganz?

He and Mr. Grady are
in Atlantic City, Judge

arranging for the opening.

Don't worry, my pet.

If Chowsky
won't rehearse you today

I shall have him discharged.

[whistling]

Can't you see I'm busy?

The Judge wants
to talk to you.

Pardon me.

What are we going to do
about this Chummy individual?

We can't allow her to sing.

The minute she opens her mouth,
the ushers will open the doors.

That's where
you're wrong, Chowsky

she'll be the biggest laugh
in the show.

- But she takes it seriously.
- The audience won't.

Tell her her number's in.

[sighs]

Go on.

Alright, dearie, let's try it.
Start from the first.

[piano music]

* Never felt so humbler to me

* So completely awed
I couldn't speak *

* Never knew a heart
could beat this way *

* When we meet this way

* Can I help

* But say

* You're an angel

* You're so understanding

* Think of heaven handing me

* A dream like you

* You're an angel

* You're an inspiration

* What a combination

* You're a sweetheart too

* Makes no difference
where I look *

* You're all I see

* Close as pages in a book

* That's what we'll be

* For

* When you taught me

* What my heart

* Was made for

* I got what I prayed for

* You're

* An angel

* Dear.

And so, my dear duchess.
Tomorrow, I may be in possession

of the city
and its treasures.

- A theatrical titan.
- Not really, Commodore.

Success is
in my very grasp.

- Confounded flies.
- Tell me about it.

I have invested practically
everything I have

in a theatrical venture which
is certain to make millions.

Millions, duchess.

Do you know, Commodore,
since you've called me duchess

when others address me
as Mrs. Schultz.

I positively shudder.

Yes, I can understand that.

Now, as I was saying...

But let's not talk anymore
of money.

There are so many
more important things.

- Name one.
- Well, happiness.

There are times when I feel
I could trade all my wealth

for just a sip
from the cup of dreams.

For a cottage, small,
by a waterfall.

You're so understanding.

Uh, tell me,
what is your opinion

of the privileges of love?

- I'm in favor of them.
- I mean..

Do you think a woman in love
is privileged to speak her mind?

How can you stop them
from doing it?

Pardon, my dear,
I feel the need of a cigar.

[jazz music]

- The check.
- Uh, yes, ma'am.

I'll take care of it.

[music continues]

- You may keep the change.
- Thank you.

We must go now, my dear,

pressing business engagement
at the theater.

Waiter, check if you please.

Never mind, I paid.

My dear duchess, why are you
always paying the check?

It's deuce and embarrassing.
Anybody think we were married.

Oh, Commodore,
what are you saying?

Oh, come, come,
we must be dashing.

[engines revving]

Taxi.

[car honking]

Drop you at the theater,
Commodore?

No, my dear, just a bracer
from here.

I shall call for you
opening night and escort you

to what no doubt will prove to
be one of my greatest successes.

Until then, au revoir,
my dear.

- Set right, cabbie.
- Bye, goodbye, Commodore.

- Ah, Chowsky.
- Please, Mr. Commodore.

Ah, what's the trouble,
what's up?

I'm going to drown myself
in a sea of vodka.

Pleasant death,
any particular reason?

Particular reason?
It is the end of Chowsky.

Read that.

You know, I'd like
to say something

big and brave
right now but..

I can't think
of a thing.

How about this?

(Patricia)
'You may be down
but not out.'

Sharp one.

Well.

There's, um..

"They think they have me
licked, but I'll show 'em."

Here's one.

"In the fell clutch
of circumstance

"I have not winced
nor cried aloud.

"Under the bludgeonings
of fate

my head is bloody,
but unbowed."

Magnificent!

You display a bit of histrionic
talent there, my boy.

You should have been an actor.

Of course, I perform best
in my native surroundings.

- You know, the open fields.
- Oh, I hate the country.

- I'm afraid of wild flowers.
- Yes. I've heard that one.

Tell me, were you ever born
in a big white house

surrounded by
a high green hedge?

With an orchard, a patch of
woods and a natural spring.

- 'Yes.'
- No.

What? No big house with little
thatches growing all around it?

There's nothing like going out
in the morning

and picking yourself a nice
fresh bunch of thatches.

Boy, am I glad I got rid
of that house.

And now, you haven't
a care in the world.

No. If this hadn't happened I'd
never discover what a sap I am.

Oh, yes, you would.

- I would have told you.
- Yes, I suppose so.

We won't have to put up with
each other any longer, will we?

- Yes.
- I was afraid of that.

Now let's see. No house,
no show, no prospects.

Don't I get anything
out of this?

[clears throat]

Might just as well
smoke a doormat.

You don't happen to have a new
cigar about you, do you, Tyler?

I'll, uh... I'll walk out
and get you one, Commodore.

- Uh, no, no, no, don't go.
- 'It's alright.'

I feel the need
of a short walk anyway.

- I don't want to trouble you.
- No trouble at all.

Doug.

Yes.

You know, this is only
the beginning of all.

Patricia, it was
hardly my fault.

No one could have foreseen
that Ganz and Grady would...

But you didn't
know those men.

You did it for what
you get out of it.

With his interest at heart.

I felt it provided
an opportunity for him.

I really did.

You have my word, dear.

Your word.
What good is your word?

What's he gonna do now?
He's lost everything he had.

No great amount
of money, Patricia.

Oh, it isn't
the money, father.

He had dreams.

They're gone, perhaps... perhaps
even his faith in himself.

- Everything.
- But the boys is young.

I'll think of something.

- I'll find a way to help him.
- Oh, don't talk to me.

I don't wanna hear any more
alibis. I don't wanna see you.

Oh, I didn't mean that.

I don't know what I mean.

Well, I understand.

I-I have failed you.

- But if I could make amends..
- Oh, what could you do?

I might be able
to arrange backing.

So he could go on
with his production.

Father, where would you
get any money?

I'll get it... someplace.

[ship horn blowing]

Jason, when is the captain
going to marry her?

As soon as we're upon
the high seas.

- You have the license?
- Right here in my pocket.

Though I understand,
we won't need it.

While we are waiting, couldn't
we go some place and snuggle?

Snuggle?

Yes, I believe
it is customary.

I suppose we go on the deck and
into the matter comfortably.

I'll get my wrap.

There we are, my sweet.

Bermuda.

We'll ride bicycles
and everything, won't we?

I myself prefer a horse
and the open range.

With the vine
fanning my cheeks.

And the stars for me guide.

What was that, Jason?

- What was what?
- What you just said.

I don't know, my dear.

I'm afraid
I wasn't listening.

[ship horn blowing]

The pilot boat.

I must get this letter off, my
dear. You'll pardon me.

You'll hurry back,
won't you, Jason?

I'll be back before you
can say abracadabra.

Abracadabra.

Have you tried the cut-rate
ticket brokers?

I've tried everyone. Everywhere.

Nobody wants to put money
into a show with a black eye.

- Oh, if father only had...
- Your father isn't responsible.

I went into the show
because I liked it.

I thought it had
good possibilities.

It's no great tragedy.
There'll be other shows.

But what about now?

Well, I'll get
some kind of a job

and start up
the old road again.

(male #2)
'What's the assessment,
my good fellow?'

(male #3)
One forty, sir.

Here you are, there's five
dollars. You keep the change.

Thank you, sir.

And buy yourself
a haircut with it.

Ah, there you are, children.

Father, where were you?
I've been worried to death.

Serving our noble cause,
my dear.

Here, just feast
your eyes on that.

Fifteen thousand!

Well, who's Magenta P. Schultz?

- Why, that...
- Father, how did you get it?

When I told the Duchess
the predicament we were in

she insisted
on helping us out.

- Insisted?
- Yes, my dear. Insisted.

Ah, there's a woman for you.
Isn't it splendid?

Come, come, my boy.
Reassemble the cast.

Order the costumes,
strike up the band.

The show will go on.

[laughing]

[mumbling]
Abracadabra. Abra..

Abracadabra! Abracadabra!

Here's your money.

We're having a dress rehearsal
Monday afternoon.

- The scenery must be there.
- I doubt if we can finish it.

That gives us only three days.

You've got to finish it!
The show opens Monday night.

- Oh, alright.
- Fine.

Here you are.

Now remember, we must have
the costumes Monday morning.

[snaps]

- What about those amber spots?
- 'Right away.'

They should be on
when the curtains come through.

Do you realize we open tonight?

- What's next?
- The Bill Robinson number.

Off with the footlights.

Johnny, take your curtain cue
from the music. Alright shoot.

Ready! Take it away.

[fast-paced music]

[music continues]

[fast-paced music]

[peppy music]

[knocking]

Come in.

What's the matter, honey?

What are you crying about?
Tell the man.

I can't pay
my rent, Mr. Mayor.

And they put me out
in the streets.

Well, child, that ain't
nothing to cry about.

Look here.

Here you got an apartment,
right smack on the corner

with the highest
ceiling in Harlem.

'Look at that electric light.'

'Why, you even got
running water.'

Ah-h, child, with that smile
you got everything.

'Why, you're the richest gal
in Harlem.'

What do you care about
being outdoor?

What will I do
when it rains?

If you insist on being inside,
go in and tell that landlord..

["I'm Livin'
InA Great Big Way"]

* You got a snap
in your fingers *

Got that.

* And a rhythm in your walk.

Got that too.

True mama.

[piano music]

[tapping continues]

[music continues]

Did you hear,
what the lady said?

Not exactly,
what did she say?

She said

* I got a snap in my fingers.

And.

* And a rhythm in my walk.

You don't tell me.

* As the elephant say

* I'm livin'
in a great big way *

Oh, get away from here.
That's too much.

* I got a handful of nothin'

What?

* But I peep at it like a hawk.

Peep at nothin'?

Tell me more.
Tell me more.

Listen here, sir.

Mm.

Mm-hm.

Not the President?

* Got a snap in my fingers.

'Yeah, yeah.'

* Rhythm in my walk.

No, no.

*I'm doin' okay
living in a great big way *

*Got a handful of nothin' *

Quite right.

*Watching like a hawk *

'No, you didn't.'

Now listen here,

[humming the song]

[humming continues]

No, no. Don't play that.

[scatting]

[humming continues]

What's the matter with him?

Oh, get away from here.

* Aye, ah, o-oh, oh

[both humming]

- Do you understand me?
- Alright then.

What did the landlord say?

* I'm the salt in the ocean

I know that.

* I'm the sun in thesky *

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

* To move my stuff
back in my room *

* Oh, I'm a million dollars

[feet tapping]

[tapping continues]

[tapping continues]

[audience clapping]

Great stuff, Bill. Do it like
that tonight and we're okay.

- Much better now.
- Yeah, fine.

Now look,
it's six o'clock.

We'd better break
until it's showtime.

You've been swell. I know we've
been working against time.

If you do it as well tonight,
as this afternoon

we're bound to put it over.

Now, get some rest
and good luck everybody.

Back here at half past seven,
and I don't mean 7:30.

I'll change, Your Honor.
It'll just take a minute.

- Tyler has done a great job.
- Yes. I think he's a genius.

Yes, indeed.

Thrilled, my boy.
Positively thrilled.

Tired?

- But I know you must be.
- Mm-mm.

I'm proud of you Doug.

- I hope it comes out alright.
- It will. I know it will.

Looks like a success
to me, Douglas.

It's got to be.

There he is.

I'll get my hat.

Oh, hello, boys.
I'm sorry you're late.

The scenery and the costumes
looked fine. Great job.

- This is the fellow.
- Come along, son.

- Come along where?
- You passed bad checks on us.

- Bad checks?
- The checks you gave were bad.

Of course, they were.
There must be some mistake.

The mistake is doing
business with him.

He drew paper
on an empty bank account.

That couldn't be. I deposited
the check to cover everything.

Yes, but it was
a blue check, mister.

The Duchess must be back. She
stopped payment on the check.

- Come on.
- Here, release this man, sir.

- I'll attend to everything.
- Oh, go away, you.

- Trucks are here, boss.
- Alright, get the scenery out.

You can't take the scenery out.
The show's tonight.

- Argue with the Judge.
- You can't do this!

- Come along.
- Douglas!

What can we do?

It's alright, dear. I'll have
a lawyer come down to the jail.

Now, don't you worry.

Did you ever hear
anything like this.

- They took all our costumes.
- Some trouble about money.

(male #4)
Gang, later.

Mr. Hedron, what can you
gain by doing this?

You can't throw all
these people out of work.

- Step on it, boys.
- Say, what is this?

(male #5)
'Looks like we're
not opening tonight.'

I'll explain everything on the
way now. Where are those men?

- Father!
- Now, see here.

You wait here. I'll be back
with the money in an hour.

Dear, keep the company together.
I'll be right back.

- Where are you going?
- I'll get you out of this mess.

I've never failed you yet,
my dear. Come on, Judge.

My father is getting the money.
Wait until he gets back.

If he gets the money,
we'll be in my office.

We'll wait till 8 o'clock.
Not one minute later.

Funny, she called out
just a moment ago.

She must be on
her way downstairs.

Oh, thank you, thank you.

- The Duchess.
- You.

Oh, my darling. The Duchess!

- Just a moment, darling.
- Don't you ever speak to me.

But, Duchess, you've
got to listen to me.

- You get out of this cab.
- Drive on, cabbie.

But, Duchess, I've searched
the town for you, believe me.

Believe you.

I assure you, madam,
it's all a misunderstanding.

And who is this?
Waving his chin at me.

(Commodore)
'Oh, pardon, my love.
This is Judge Peterby.'

Judge, Mrs. Schultz,
to whom I'm affianced.

You're what? How dare you
link your name with mine?

Oh, Duchess, you're
wounding me to the quick.

- Let me out of this cab.
- Duchess.

Why? I'm being kidnapped.
I shall notify the law.

I'm the law, madam.

Then I want a restraining
order against this man.

- What would you say, Commodore?
- I love this woman, Judge.

- And do you love this man?
- I despise him.

I'd rather marry a seahorse.
He deserted me without a word.

Hardly my fault, my dear.

While I was mailing the letter,
the pilot boat sailed.

Surely you got my message.

By whom did you
send me a message?

You didn't get it?

Why, I put it an a bottle
and threw it overboard.

This is the end. I demand
to be let out of this cab.

But, my darling,
you don't understand.

I'm asking you
to be my wife.

'Look, I have
the marriage license'

'and the Judge here will
perform the ceremony.'

(Judge)
'And do you, Magenta,
take this man..'

Close that book!

This is unfair,
my dear. Unfair.

Hey, did you phone
that lawyer?

- Sure, I phoned him.
- Why isn't he here?

Maybe he's coming
by dog team.

Well?

My father hasn't come
back yet, Mr. Hedron.

I've tried, but I
couldn't raise the money.

Then that's it. Put the stuff
in the warehouse, Joe.

- Oh, no, please.
- Yes, sir.

Your scenery and costumes
are no good.

They're made for this. They
can't be used for others.

We'll decide that.

Look, if you
let us open, you can

collect the money every night,
until all your bills are paid.

If we let Tyler
get away with this

every shoestring producer on
Broadway would try this trick.

But it wasn't his fault.
He didn't do it deliberately.

He had no idea payment
would be stopped on that check.

This means everything to him.
You must give him a chance.

[indistinct chattering]

What is going to happen?

A whole house full
of people out there

and no money to give them back.

And who's got to tell them?
You know who, me, Chowsky.

Why did I ever learn
to speak English?

This is the first show
I ever saw

that closed twice
before it opened once.

I'm being tortured
and you're soliloquizing.

[brakes screeching]

Keep the change, my boy.
Careful, careful.

- The children will be thrilled?
- Yes, my dear.

- You-you have your checkbook?
- Oh, yes, yes.

Patricia, what does the mean?
The show is on.

I fixed everything, father.
Where's Doug?

The Judge is attending to that.
But the show, the show.

- Two minutes, Ms. Thatcher.
- 'Alright, hold on.'

Patricia, the show.
What is happening?

They loaned me costumes and
scenery. I'll tell you later.

Wait, Patricia. We haven't
told you. We're married.

Married?

Welcome home, mother.

She called me mother.

Yes... I have given
my all to the theatre.

[soft music]

[Ann Sothern singing
"You're An Angel"]

* You're an angel *

* You're so understanding

* Think of heaven

*Handing me a dream like you *

* You're an angel..

It's marvelous.
It's clicking.

* You're an inspiration

* What a combination,
you're a sweetheart too *

* Makes no difference
where I look *

* You're all I see

* Close as pages in a book

* That's how we'll be

* For

* When you taught me

* What my heart was made for

* I got what I prayed for

* You're an angel

* Dear *
