[theme music]

- And now, Hotpoint presents
America's favorite family

comedy, "The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet,"

starring the entire
Nelson family.

Here is Ozzie, who plays
the part of Ozzie Nelson.

And, of course, his lovely wife,
Harriet, as Harriet Nelson.

The older of the Nelson boys,
David, appears as David Nelson.

And his younger brother,
the irrepressible Ricky,

played by Ricky Nelson.

The Nelson's next-door
neighbor, Thorny,

is played by Don DeFore.

- Hiya, Pop.
Hi, Mom.

- Oh, good morning, Dave.

- Morning, Dave.

- Where's Rick?

- He was with me a minute ago.

- Ricky!

- I'm coming.

- Come on, breakfast
is just about ready.

- How do you like that?

The darn television
set's busted again.

- I thought I told you
not to watch television

before breakfast.

- I can't watch it
now, that's for sure.

- Well, I'll call the repairman
right after breakfast.

- Yeah, but he probably
won't be here till tomorrow.

- Well, he'll come
as soon as he can.

I'm sure we can do without
television for one night.

We'll find something to do.

- David has some
Shakespeare to read tonight,

haven't you, David?
- Yes, ma'am.

- Oh, good for you.

What are you going to read?

- "Hamlet."

- Well, that's a wise selection.

- Thanks, Pop.

Our teacher made it.

- "Hamlet" is possibly the
greatest play ever written.

It's the goal of all
Shakespearean actors.

The title role is the
longest role in the theater.

- Yes, sir.

That's what our English
teacher told us, too.

- "Alas, poor Yorick.

I knew him, Horatio."

- I know that part, Pop.

That's when they're
out in the graveyard,

and Hamlet picks
up this old skull.

- Please, David, I'm eating.

- Oh, Ricky, don't
be ridiculous.

- Yeah, Shakespeare was the
world's greatest playwright.

His works are known
the world over.

- I think he's a
little corny myself.

- I don't see anything
corny about him.

- Oh, no?

What about that "Hamlet"?

Guys talkin' to themselves
about committin' suicide,

walkin' through graveyards,
pickin' up old skulls.

It just isn't commercial.

- Are you kidding?

This play's only been
a hit for 200 years.

- You'll never regret
studying Shakespeare, Dave.

Some of the immortal Bard's
lines will live forever.

"To be or not to be,
that is the question.

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows

of outrageous fortune,
or to take arms

against the sea of trouble
and, by opposing, end them."

- Well, that's quite a
memory you've got there.

- Oh, thanks.

I learned that in high school.

It's one of those things you
never forget, you know, like

how to swim or your first date.

- That's right.

- "To die, to sleep, to
sleep, perchance to dream.

Ay, there's the rub."

- Well, actually, I didn't pay
enough attention to Shakespeare

when I was in high school.

- Heck, why bother with
Shakespeare when you have Pop?

- I think they're in slightly
different age groups.

- You know, Harriet,
I don't think

I fully appreciated the old
Bard myself at the time.

- Well, I think that's
true of most young people.

They just don't seem to get
enough out of the place.

- Well, that's because they
don't have the understanding

or maturity.

- I guess we're
pretty dull, huh?

- Speak for yourself, Horatio.

- Well, it isn't a
question of being dull.

It's just that Shakespeare
requires a little application

and patience and
study if you want

to really appreciate his works.

- It's a little difficult
to read, though.

If somebody read it to
me, I wouldn't mind.

- Hey, that's an idea.

- What's that?

- Well, as long as our
television set isn't working,

why don't we put on our own
production here tonight?

- Yeah!

How about, "This is your
Life: Ricky Nelson."

- I have a better idea.

"You Asked For
It: Ricky Nelson."

- No, I'm really
serious about this.

We could all take turns
reading the different parts.

We'll make Hamlet come to life
right here in our living room.

- When do you figure
on doing this?

- Tonight.

- Suppose we already
have something to do.

- Like what?

- Well, if you let me
make a few phone calls,

I'll sure dig up something.

- Relax, will you?

Pop's serious about this.

- Well, I don't want
to sound like I'm

forcing you into anything,
but I know you'll enjoy it.

- I'm sure we will, dear.

- Well, then we'll
consider it a date, OK?

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Holy smokes.

- What's the matter with you?

- Sounds like we're
all going steady.

[music playing]

- Hi, Oz!

I was just coming
over to see you.

- How now, Thornberry?

How goes thou?
- Wait a minute, Oz.

Don't tell me.

David's studying Shakespeare.

- Yeah.

[chuckles] How'd you guess?

My stentorian tones?

- No, not exactly.

- My classic gestures, perhaps?

- Nope.

- Well, how'd you guess?

- My boy Will's in
David's English class.

- You know, it brought back
a lot of pleasant memories

when I heard the boys
were studying "Hamlet."

- Well, not to me, it didn't.

I never could get
interested in that stuff.

- Oh, really, Thorny?

It's really-- it's part
of a liberal education.

- Well, I'll probably
get around to reading it

again one of these days.

- Say, I have an idea.

Why don't you come over
to our house tonight?

We're going to read
Hamlet in our living room.

- Oh, not tonight, Oz.

- Well, why not?

- Well, we're trying to get up
a little poker game for tonight.

That's why I was
coming over to see you.

Gee, you got to come.

- Oh, I'm sorry,
but I can't, Thorny.

See, I promised the
family, and we're all

looking forward to it.

- Well, we're looking
forward to having you

play a little poker with us.

- Oh, that's very nice, but
I'm not much of a poker player.

- I know, that's why we're
looking forward to it.

[laughs] We want to teach
you some of the finer

points of the game, Oz,
the hard way, of course.

Should be a lot of fun.

- Well, it sounds
very interesting.

I wish you'd told
me about it before.

- Well, we just thought
of it a few minutes ago.

Doc Williams is going
to be there, too.

You could ask him about
the trouble you're

having with that football knee.

- Well, it has been
bothering me lately.

Gee, I'm sorry, Thorny.

As I say, we've made
these arrangements

to read Shakespeare, and I
just can't go back on my word.

- Oz, you can read
Shakespeare any time.

He's been around for
a couple of 100 years.

He's not going anywhere.

- No, I-- I know, but
a promise is a promise.

- OK, OK, Oz, but
you're going to miss out

on a very interesting evening.

Playing cards, jokes,
laughs, good fellowship.

[chuckles] You're
not going to let

William Shakespeare come between
you and culture, are you?

- Well--

- Listen, Oz, you
leave everything to me.

I'll figure out some way to get
you out of the house tonight.

- No, you don't understand.

I don't want to get
out of the house.

- Why not?

- Well, I just
couldn't, that's all.

I've given my word.

- Oz, I won't take
no for an answer.

I'll get you out of the
house, one way or another.

- Th-- Th--
Thorny!

Thorny, come back
here, will you, please?

- Yeah?

- When you figure out
something, let me know.

[music playing]

- Hey, Mom, the television man
didn't get here yet, did he?

- No, he didn't, dear.

He said he'd get here as soon
as he could, probably tomorrow.

- Now we're stuck with that
darn Shakespeare tonight.

- Now, that's not
a nice attitude.

We promised your father.

- Hello there.
- Oh, hello, dear.

- Hiya, Pop.
- Hi.

- Dinner will be ready
in a little while.

I thought we'd have
it early tonight

so we could get
started with the play.

"Hamlet" is quite
long, isn't it?

- Yeah, about 10 miles.

- Hmm?

Oh, uh, Harriet, you know, I've
been thinking a little more

about this Hamlet situation.

- So have I. You
were perfectly right.

It's going to be a lot of fun.

- Oh, you really think so?

- I certainly do.

- Well, gee, I was
thinking perhaps

it might be a little
dull for the boys.

You know, Ricky said something
at breakfast this morning.

It's pretty silly when you
think about those soliloquies.

I mean, nobody in his right mind
goes around talking to himself.

- Now, dear, stop
making excuses.

You're not forcing
us into this at all.

I think it's going
to be a lot of fun

and a wonderful
evening for all of us,

so you can just stop trying
to talk me out of it.

- Honestly?
- Honestly.

Now, why don't you
get ready for dinner?

- [sighs] Why do I always open
up my big mouth and put my foot

in it?

- What'd you say, dear?

- Hmm?

Oh, uh, nothing.

Just talking to myself.

[music playing]

We'll all take turns at this.

I'll deal first.

[chuckles] I'll, uh, read first.

Everybody comfortable?
- Yes, Pop.

- Just fine, Pop.
- Yes, fine.

Thank you.
- Oh, good.

It's a long play, so we better
settle down for the evening.

Fine print here.

"The Tragedy of Hamlet,
Prince of Denmark."

[clears throat]

- You want a glass
of water, Pop?

- Uh, no, thank you.

Well, maybe that would help.

Suppose you bring in a pitcher.

- Do you want me to bring
in that bowl of fruit, Pop?

- Yeah, that's a
good idea, Dave.

- I think this is going
to be very interesting.

Don't you?
- Oh, yeah.

I remember this from school.

It's a little dull at the
start, but once you get into it,

it's a wonderful way to
spend a couple of hours.

At least it certainly
can't hurt you.

- No, not at all.

Maybe we ought to spend one
evening a week like this.

- Well, let's not
overdo a good thing.

It might be a little
too much for the boys.

We could try it once every, say,
three or four months, though.

Oh, thank you, son.

- Anybody want any fruit?

- I'll take a walnut.

- Well, shall we start
the reading again?

- OK.

[clears throat]

- More water, Pop?

- No thanks.

"The Tragedy of--

[nut cracking]

Now, Ricky, try not to make
so much noise, huh, please?

Son, it's very disconcerting.

- They come in a shell, Pop.

- Yes, yes.

Why don't you try one of
those grapes over there?

Where was I?

- "The Tragedy of Hamlet,
Prince of Denmark."

- Oh, oh, oh, yes.

It's really an interesting
play once you get into it.

- Yeah, I'm enjoying
it, very much.

- I'm sure we'll all enjoy it.

[doorbell rings]

- I'll get it.

- No, I'll get it.

Right at the interesting part.

Yes?

- Good evening.

I'm sorry to bother
you at this hour,

but I'm looking for an address,
and I seem to have lost my way.

- Oh, won't you come in, please?

What's the address
you're looking for?

- 1623 Avon Way.

- Uh, Avon Way?

I don't believe I've
ever heard of that.

I'll ask my wife.

- Oh, you're very kind.

- Oh, uh, Harriet,
this gentleman

is looking for a
place called Avon Way.

Have you ever heard of it?

- Avon Way?

No, I'm afraid I haven't.

- I have a street
map upstairs, Pop.

You want me to get it?

- Oh, yeah, would
you, please, Dave?

- Sure.
- I'll go with you, David.

- I don't want to put you
through any inconvenience.

- Oh, it's no
inconvenience at all.

We're happy to do it.
- Oh, certainly not.

Won't you come in and sit down?
- Thank you.

- Yes, please.

We were just having a little
group reading of "Hamlet"

when you came in.

- Ah, "Hamlet."

That's one of my favorites.

- Oh, really?

Ours, too.

- Oh, this is hire and
salary, not revenge.

He took my father grossly, full
of bread, with all his crimes

broad blown, as flush as May.

And how his audit stands,
who knows, save heaven?

Oh, forgive me, please.

I was carried away
there for a moment.

- Oh, say, that was wonderful.

I see you're quite
familiar with the play.

- Ah, yes, I've appeared in
many Shakespearean productions.

- I kind of sensed that.

I noted the rich, resonant
timbre of your voice.

It's the mark of a
professional actor.

- Thank you, mister--

- Nelson, Ozzie Nelson.

- How do you do?

My name is Cameron Whitfield.

- Oh, I'm happy--
- Glad to know you.

- Very happy to know you.
This is my wife, of course.

- How do you do, Mrs. Nelson?
- How do you do, Mr. Whitfield?

- Here's the map, Pop.

- Oh, thanks.

These are my two
boys, David and Ricky.

This is Mr. Whitfield, a
professional actor, boys.

- How do you do?
- How do you do, boys?

Tell me, boys, what do
you think of "Hamlet"?

- It's very interesting,
sir, once you get into it.

- Mr. Nelson, I don't
want to seem presumptuous,

but may I suggest that
you not only read the play

but also act out
the parts, as well?

It's really more fun that way.

- Say, that sounds
like a wonderful idea.

- Sure.

We had to read it out
loud in school anyway.

- Now, your two lads can
play Bernado and Francisco.

The play opens with them.

- Where do we start?

- Well, let's see.

Here, let's play the platform
scene on the staircase.

Francisco stands on the stairs,
and Bernado enters to him.

- Oh, here you are, boys.
- Oh, thanks, Pop.

- Thanks, Pop.

- You be Francisco,
and I'll be Bernardo.

- Francisco, eh?

My friends just call
me San, San Francisco.

[chuckles]

Nothing, huh?

- Absolutely nothing.

- Bernado's right.

Now, shall start the play?

All right.

Curtain.

- Who's there?

- Where?

- No, we're starting the play.

Read your lines.

- Bernado says, "Who's there?"

All right, Bernado.

- Who's there?

- Nay, answer me.

Stand and unfold yourself.

"Stand and unfold yourself"?

Hey, that's a pretty good
trick if you can do it.

- Never mind the
comments, Ricky.

Just stick to the script.

- Allow me, boys.

- A countenance more in
sorrow than in anger.

- Pale or red?

- Nay, very pale.

- And fixed his eyes upon you?

- Most constantly.

- I would I had been there.

[doorbell rings]

- Hark, the doorbell
rings thither!

- Hi, Oz!
- Oh!

- Hello, Ozzie.

- Doc Williams and
I just stopped by

to see if you're feeling
any better tonight.

- What's this?

- You don't look
too good, Ozzie.

Probably need a little more
fresh air and exercise.

- And there's no better
exercise than a good poker game.

You know that, Oz.
- Oh--

- Shuffling cards is wonderful
for those digital muscles.

- Well, look, fellas,
you're a little late.

I've gotten so darn
interested in this "Hamlet"

that I couldn't possibly
break away for a poker game.

- This man is sicker
than I realized.

- No--

- Hello, Dr. Williams.

Hi, Thorny.
- Hello.

- Hi, Harriet.

I just stopped by to
have a look at Ozzie.

- Oh?

What for?

- Well, he did
have that bad cold,

you know, and I like to keep
a close check on my patients.

We don't want any
further complications.

- Oh, well, that cold was
about four months ago.

I'm sure he's all right now.

- Oh, was it really
four months ago?

Seemed to me a
little more recent.

He just paid his bill last week.

- Come on in and meet our guest.
- Yeah.

- Hi, Mr. Thornberry.
Hi, Dr. Williams.

- Hi, Mr. Thornberry,
Dr. Williams.

- Oh, hi, boys.
- Hello, boys.

- Mr. Cameron Whitfield.
Mr. Thornberry.

- How do you do, sir?
- Hello.

- And Dr. Williams.
- How do you do?

- Doctor.

- I just stopped by to
check over Mr. Nelson.

This will only
take a minute, Oz.

- Uh, Doc--
- Let's see.

Where did I put
that stethoscope?

- Uh-- ooh.

- Did you see the
size of those pills?

- What are you doing
with those, Doc?

- Oh, Harriet, you
might as well know.

This is all a little scheme to
get me out of the house to play

poker at Thorny's.

- Oz, you turncoat.

- Well, can't you play poker
after you've read "Hamlet"?

- Say, hey, that's an idea.

Why don't you and Doc
stay and listen to us?

It'll only take a few
hou-- uh, a few hours.

- You mean we're going to have
to wait here and watch you play

"Hamlet" before we play poker?

- Well, why not?

A little culture
would do you good.

Come on, sit down and--

- Come on, Doc, give
me an anesthetic.

- Well, let's see.

Mr. Whitfield, what
is the next scene?

- Let me see.

Oh, yes, the
platform at midnight.

- At, uh, midnight?

Ricky, set the clock,
would you, son?

- Come, go we to the king.

This must be known,
which being kept close

might move grief to hide
than hate to utter love.

Come.

Now.

[applause]

- Both your majesties might,
by the sovereign power

you have of us, put
your dread pleasures

more into command
than to entreaty.

- But we both obey, and
here give up ourselves

in the full bent, to
lay our service freely

at your feet to be commanded.

- Thanks, Rosencrantz,
and gentle Guildenstern.

- To be or not to be,
that is the question.

Whether it is nobler in the
mind to suffer the slings

and arrows of
outrageous fortune,

or to take arms against a sea
of troubles and by opposing--

[doorbell rings]

- Oh, I'm sorry.

There's somebody
at the door, Doc.

You just go right ahead.

- No, that's all right.

I'll wait.

- Mr. Nelson?
- Yes?

- I'm from the television
repair service.

- Oh, oh, yes, fine.

The television set is
right in the den here.

- Thanks.

- Right over to your left.

If you hear any noise
in the front room,

don't let it disturb you.

We're reading a
little play in there.

- Oh, a play, huh?

I used to be interested
in dramatics myself.

- Oh, is that so?

You an actor?

- No, I was a wrestler.

- Well, good for you.

- Maybe you saw me in
some of my matches.

I used to wrestle under the
name of Babyface Mulligan

- The name sounds familiar.

- Well, I'll have your set
fixed in a jiffy, Mr. Nelson.

- OK, fine.

And if you need anything, I'll
be right in the living room.

- OK.

- Tis nobler in
the mind to suffer

the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune,

or to take arms--

- Saw you not his face?

- Oh, yes, my lord.

He wore his beaver...

- Tis now the very witching hour
of the night, when churchyards

yawn, and hell itself breathes
out contagion to this world.

- --expend your
time with us awhile,

for the supply and
profit of our hopes.

Your visitation shall
receive such thanks as fit

to King's remembrance.

- Oh, I die, Horatio.

The potent poison quite
o'ercrows my spirit.

I cannot live to hear
the news from England,

but I do prophesy the
election lights on Fortinbras.

He has my dying voice.

So tell him, with the occurents,
more and less, which have

solicited, the rest is silence.

- Now cracks a noble heart.

Good night, sweet prince.

And flights of angels
sing thee to thy rest.

[sniffles]

- Well, good.

- Oh.

[chuckles]

[applause]

- Well, that was
very interesting.

- Say, Rick, you did a pretty
good job in that death scene.

- Oh, thanks a lot,
Mr. Thornberry.

When somebody tells me to drop
dead, I really drop dead, boy.

- I think we all died
very realistically.

- Hey, Pop, how come you
got stabbed with a fork?

- Oh, well, there
weren't any knives left.

- I wish you would have
let me use a catcher, Mom.

It would have been
more gruesome.

- Oh, no thing doing.

This was gruesome
enough as it was.

- May I say a word?

- Please do.

- I think it was all
very fine, and I just

wanted to say that in all my
experience playing "Hamlet,"

this is certainly at least as
good a company as I've ever

had.
- Oh!

[applause]

OK, Oz, I'll go over and
get the card table set up,

and you'll be over
as soon as you can.

- We'll be waiting for you, Oz.
- Oh, fine, fine.

- It sure was a wonderful
evening, Mr. Nelson.

Simply delightful.

- Well, thanks a lot.

- I'm so glad you
enjoyed "Hamlet."

- I wish it had a
happy ending, though.

I'm too emotional
for these dramas.

- Oh, yes.

- Good night, all.
- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- I fear that I too must
bid a reluctant farewell

to you charming people.

- Oh, well, just a second.

I'll get the address for you.

- Oh, no, please don't
bother, Mr. Nelson.

I can only humbly
crave your forgiveness.

- Forgiveness?

For what, for goodness sakes?

- I have a confession to make.

I had no address that I sought.

I used that merely
as a subterfuge

to enable me to share
this delightful evening,

to bask once again in the
radiant glory of "Hamlet."

- But how did you know
we were reading "Hamlet"?

- My dear, it is difficult
indeed to explain.

Why does the salmon
swim upstream?

What draws the homing
pigeon back to his perch?

I can only say that
something seemed

to say to me, inside that
house, within those walls,

Shakespeare lives again tonight.

I heard the voice calling to
me, saw the sign, you might say,

sensed the bond between us.

- That's really beautiful.

- Yeah.

Well, as I said before, we
sure are happy you stopped by.

Please feel free to come
by here any time at all.

You're always more than welcome.

- Well, thank you.

And I shall be listening for the
voice, watching for the sign.

Goodnight, my good friends.

Farewell.

- Farewell.

That's really amazing,
isn't it, Harriet?

He just knew we were going to
read Shakespeare here tonight.

- I still don't
understand how he knew.

- Well, you heard
his explanation.

- Well, yes, but I'm still
not sure I understand it.

- Did sound a little mysterious,
as though he were almost

like the spirit of Shakespeare.

- I wonder if he'll
ever come back again.

- Well, sure he will, Mom.

Didn't you hear?

All we have to do is
put out the sign again.

- Uh, no, no, no, no, Rick.

His reference to the sign was
merely a figure of speech.

The mysterious
something that made him

realize that Shakespeare
was being read here tonight.

- Oh, I thought
he meant my sign.

- What sign?

- Yeah?

- The sign I put out
on the front lawn.

- Is this some of
your work, Ricky?

- Yeah, that's it.

I figured as long as we were
going to put on a play tonight,

we might as well make
some money out of it.

The only trouble, though,
a lot of people showed up

and nobody paid.

- Wait a minute, Ricky.

Looks like you had
two paying customer.

Isn't that a quarter
on the table?

- Oh, yeah, the stranger
left it when he went out.

I saw him.

- Boy, can I keep it?

- I don't see why not.

- Hey, this isn't a quarter.

How about that?

He leaves me a phony coin.

- What is it?

- Says, "one shilling."

[music playing]

- Uh, I pass.

- Buy me.
- Buy me.

- I pass.

- If you're sure you'd like
to play, it's your deal.

- Gentlemen, it's very kind of
you for permitting me to play.

I haven't indulged in this
pastime for a good many years.

I'm afraid you'll just have
to lead me as you would

a little child by the hand.

Uh, now let me see,
um, it's my deal?

- Yes, that's right.

First of all, you shuffle
the cards, however.

You mix them all up, and
then you give each person

five cards, one at a time.

- Uh huh.

Yes, now, I believe we
open for naves or better?

- [chuckles] Uh,
