Paramount News brings you a special coverage

of Princess Ann's visit to London,

the first stop on her much-publicized gooawill tour of European capitals.

She gets a royal welcome from the British,

as thousands cheer the gracious young member

of one of Europe's oldest ruling families.

After three days of continuous activity and a visit to Buckingham Palace,

Ann flew to Amsterdam,

where Her Royal Highness dedicated the new International Aid Building

and christened an ocean liner,

then went to Paris,

where she attended many official functions

designed to cement trade relations

between her country and the Western European nations.

And so, to Rome, the Eternal City,

where the princess’ visit was marked by a spectacular military parade

highlighted by the band of the crack Bersaglieri regiment.

The smiling young princess showed no sign of the strain

of the week's continuous public appearances,

and, at her country's embassy that evening,

a formal reception and ball in her honor

was given by her country's ambassador to Italy.

Her Royal Highness.

His Excellency, the Papal Nuncio, Monsignor Altomonte.

So terribly nice.

Hey...

These are pajamas.

They're to sleep In.

You're to climb into them. You understand?

Thank you.

And you do your sleeping on the couch, see, not on the bed.

Not on the chair, on the couch. |S that clear?

Do you know my favorite poem?

You've already recited that for me.

"Arethusa arose from her couch of snows

"In the Acroceraunian mountains.”

-Keats. -Shelley.

You just keep your mind off the poetry and on the pajamas.

Everything'll be all right, see?

-It's Keats. -Now, I'll be...

It's Shelley. I'll be back in about 10 minutes.

Keats.

You have my permission to withdraw.

Thank you very much.

-Well? -No trace, Your Excellency.

Have you searched the grounds?

Every Inch, sir, from the attics to the cellar.

| must put you on your honor not to speak of this to anyone.

| must remind you that the princess IS the direct heir to the throne.

This must be classified as top crisis secret.

-Have | your pledge? -Yes, Sir.

Very well.

Now we must notify Their Majesties.

So happy.

The pleasure's mine.

Screwball.

Holy smoke! The princess interview.

11:45.

Hi, Joe.

-Good morning, Joe. -Hello, honey.

Mr. Hennessy has been looking for you.

Thanks a lot, hon.

Come in!

You've been looking for me?

Just coming to work?

Who, me?

We start our days at 8:30 In this office.

We pick up our assignments...

| picked mine up last night.

-What assignment was that? -The princess. 11:45.

You've already been to the interview?

Sure. | just got back.

-Well, well, well, all my apologies. -It's all right.

-This Is very Interesting. -No, Just routine.

Tell me, tell me, did she answer all the questions on the list?

Well, of course she did. I've got them right here somewhere.

Don't disturb yourself. | have a copy here.

How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European federation?

She thought it was just fine.

She did?

Well, she thought that there'd be two effects.

Two?

The direct and the indirect.

Remarkable.

Naturally, she thought that the indirect would not be as direct as the direct.

-That Is, not right away. -No, no, no, no.

Later on, of course, well, nobody knows.

Well, well, well, that was a shrewd observation.

They fool you, you know, these royal kids.

They've got a lot more on the ball than we suspect.

How did she feel about the future friendship of nations?

Youth.

She felt that the youth of the world must...

Lead the way to a better world.

Original.

By the way, what was she wearing?

You mean, what did she have on?

That's usually what it means.

What's the matter? Is It a little warm In here for you?

NO, no. | just hurried over here, that's all.

Naturally, with a story of these dimensions.

Did you say she was wearing gray?

No, | didn't say that.

Well, she usually wears gray.

Well, it was a Kind of a gray.

| think | know the dress you mean. It has a gold collar.

That's the one. That's the one, yeah.

| didn't know exactly how to describe It, but that's...

| think you described It very well,

In view of the fact that Her Highness

was taken violently ill at 3:00 this morning,

put to bed with a high fever,

and has had all her appointments for today canceled in toto!

In toto?

Yes, Mr. Bradley, In toto.

It's certainly pretty hard to swallow.

In view of the fact that you Just left her, of course.

But here It Is, Mr. Bradley,

all over the front page of every newspaper in Rome.

All right, all right, | overslept. It can happen to anybody.

If you only got up early enough to read a morning paper,

you might discover little news events,

little items of general interest

that might prevent someone In the future from getting immersed

In such a gold-plated, triple-decked, star-spangled lie

as you have just told me.

If | were you, | would try some other line of business,

lIke mattress testing.

Is this the princess?

Yes, Mr. Bradley, that is the princess.

It isn't Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame Chiang Kai-Shek.

Take a good look at her.

You might be interviewing her again someday.

Am | fired?

No, you're not fired.

When | want to fire you, you won't have to ask.

You'll know you're fired!

The man's mad.

Giovanni, it's Joe Bradley.

Now, listen carefully. | want you to hurry up to my place

and see If there's somebody there... asleep.

Say, Mr. Joe, | look.

You wait.

Mr. Joe?

Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me. Tell me.

Giovanni, | love you. Now, listen.

Yes, Mr. Joe?

A gun?

No!

Yes, a gun, a knife, anything,

but nobody goes in and nobody goes out.

Okay.

You still here?

How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?

Are you referring to Her Highness?

I'm not referring to Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour or...

How much?

What do you care? You got about as much chance as...

| Know, but If | did, how much would It be worth?

Just a plain talk on world conditions might be worth 250.

Her views on clothes, of course, would pe worth a lot more, maybe 1,000.

-Dollars? -Dollars.

I'm talking about her views on everything.

The private and secret longings of a princess.

Her innermost thoughts,

as revealed to your Rome correspondent

In a private, personal, exclusive interview.

Can't use it?

| didn't think you'd like It.

Come here.

Love angle, too, | suppose?

Practically all love angle.

With pictures.

Could be. How much?

That particular story will be worth flve grand to any news service.

But tell me, Mr. Bradley, If you are sober,

just how you are going to obtain this fantastic interview.

| plan to enter her sickroom disguised as a thermometer.

You said five grand? | want you to shake on that.

And you realize, of course, Her Highness Is In bed today

-and leaves for Athens tomorrow? -Yep.

Now, I'd like to make a little side bet with you.

Five hundred says you don't come up with the story.

What are you looking at that for?

| just want to see what time It Is.

What day it Is.

It's a deal!

Now I'd like you to shake.

Let's see, you're Into me for about 500 now.

When you lose this bet, you'll owe me 1,000.

Why, you poor sucker, I'll practically own you.

You have practically owned me for a couple of years now.

But that's all over.

I'm going to win that money,

and with it, I'm gonna buy me a one-way ticket back to New York.

Go on, go on, | love to hear you whine.

And when I'm back In a real newsroom, I'll enjoy thinking about you,

sitting here with an empty leash in your hands

and nobody to twitch for you.

So long, pigeon!

Hey, Joe. What you know?

ls everything okay, Giovanni?

Nobody she's come. Nobody she's go.

Absolutely nobody.

Swell. Thanks a lot.

Giovanni...

How would you like to make some money?

-Money? -Yeanh.

That's the stuff. Now, 100k, I've got a sure thing.

Double your money back in two days.

Double my money?

Yeah, well, | need a little investment...

capital to swing the deal.

Now, If you'll just lend me a little cash...

You owing me two months’ rent,

and you want me to lend you money?

-Okay. -No.

Tomorrow you'll be sorry.

Your Highness?

Your Royal Highness?

Yes, what Is It?

Dear Dr. Bonnachoven...

Sure, yes, well, you're fine. Much better. Is there anything you want?

So many things.

-Yes? Well, tell the doctor. -So...

Tell the good doctor everything.

| dreamt, and | dreamt.

Yes? Well, what did you dream?

| dreamt | was asleep In the street, and a young man came.

He was tall and strong, and he was so mean to me.

He was?

It was wonderful.

Good morning.

Where's Dr. Bonnachoven?

I'm afraid | don't know anybody py that name.

Wasn't | talking to him just now?

Afraid not.

Have | had an accident?

No.

Quite safe for me to sit up?

Perfect.

Thank you.

Are these yours?

Did you lose something?

No.

Would you be so kind as to tell me where | am?

Well, this Is what IS laughingly known as my apartment.

Did you bring me here by force?

No, no, no. Quite the contrary.

Have | been here all night, alone?

If you don't count me, yes.

So I've spent the night here with you?

Well, now, | don't know that I'd use those words, exactly,

put from a certain angle, yes.

How do you do?

How do you do?

-And you are... -Bradley. Joe Bradley.

Delighted.

You don't know how delighted | am to meet you.

You may sit down.

Thank you very much.

What's your name?

You may call me Anya.

Thank you, Anya.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

-What time Is it? -About 1:30.

1:30! | must get dressed and go!

Why? What's your hurry? There's lots of time.

No, there isn't, and I've been quite enough trouble to you as it Is.

Trouble?

You're not what I'd call trouble.

I'm not?

I'll run a bath for you.

There you are.

Here we go now.

There you are. That does It.

Give me a little slack, will you?

Irving! Why don't you answer the phone?

Look, this is Joe.

Irving, can you get over here In about five minutes?

No, | can't come now, Joe. I'm busy.

No.

Joe, I'm up to my ears in work.

Go and get into your next outfit, will you, honey? The canoe.

What kind of a scoop, Joe?

LOOK, Irving, | can't talk over the telephone.

One word in the wrong quarter,

and this whole thing might blow sky-high.

It's front-page stuff. That's all | can tell you.

It might be political or it might be a sensational scandal.

I'm not sure which, but it's a big story.

It's got to have pictures.

But | can't come now, Joe. I'm busy...

I'm busy now, and I'm meeting Francesca at Rocca's in a half an hour.

Don't understand.

There you are.

Thank you for letting me sleep In your bed.

They gave me something last night to make me sleep.

Now I'd better get a taxi and go back.

Well, look, before you do,

Maybe another hour.

Live dangerously. Take the whole day.

You can't Imagine.

I'd like to do just whatever | like the whole day long.

You mean, things like having your hair cut, eating gelato?

Yes, and I'd like to sit at a sidewalk cafe and look In shop windows,

Doesn't seem much to you, does It?

It's great.

Tell you what.

Why don't we do all those things together?

It's a pact.

Well, what would you like to drink?

Champagne, please.

The last time was my father's anniversary.

Wedding?

No. It was the 40th anniversary of the day he got his job.

Forty years on the job. What do you know about that?

What does he do?

Well, mostly you might call it public relations.

Well, that's hard work.

-Yes, | wouldn't care for It. -Does he?

I've heard him complain about It.

Why doesn't he quit?

Well, people In that line of work almost never do quit,

unless It's actually unhealthy for them to continue.

Well, here's to his health, then.

You know, that's what everybody says.

It's all right?

Yes, thank you.

What Is your work?

If It wasn't for that hair, I'd swear that...

Thanks.

You slipped, Irving. You slipped, you almost hurt yourself that time.

| slipped? | almost hurt myself?

-Joe, | didn't slip! -You've got a bad sprain there.

Never mind | got a bad sprain, Joe.

We'd better go in here and get it fixed up.

-Yeah, I'd like to... -Will you excuse us for a minute?

Yes, of course. I'm so sorry.

-Come here, pal. -Joe, now wait a minute.

What are you trying to do now? Take your hands off me.

-Have you got your lighter? -What's that got to do with it?

-Have you got it? -Yeah, but what are you trying to do?

Listen, what would you do for five grand?

-Five grand? -Okay, look.

She doesn't know who | am or what | do.

LOOK, Irving, this Is my story. | dug It up. I've got to protect it.

She's really the...

Your tintypes are gonna make this little epic twice as valuable.

-"The princess goes slumming.” -You're In for 25% of the take.

-The take's five Gs. -Minimum. Hennessy shook hands on It.

-That's $1,500. -It's $1,250.

Okay. Now you shake.

Okay, now lend me 30,000.

30,0007 That's 50 bucks. Are you gonna buy the crown jewels?

She's out there now drinking champagne that | can't pay for.

We've got to entertain her, don't we?

Joe, we can't go running around town with a hot princess.

Do you want in on this deal or don't you?

This | want back Saturday.

Okay. Now where's your lighter?

Let's go to work.

Better now?

-Your ear. -My ear?

Yeah. Joe fixed It.

Would you care for a cigarette?

Yes, please.

You won't believe this, put it's my very first.

Your very first?

No smoking In school?

Your first cigarette.

There. The gizmo works.

Well, what's the verdict? Okay?

Nothing to It.

That's right. Nothing to It.

I'll stretch my legs a little here.

I'll pick this one up, Irving.

Yeah. You can afford It.

Well, what shall we do next? Shall we make out a little schedule?

Not that word, please.

| didn't mean a work... School schedule.

| meant a fun schedule.

Yes. Let's just go.

Well, how about you, Irving? Are you ready?

-Yeanh. -Let's go.

Francesca!

-This is... -Smitty.

She's a grand qirl, Irving. Grand.

Five grand, Irving.

-Joe! -Where are you going now?

Honey, | gotta work. I'll call you tonight.

Look at those men!

They were supposed to be inconspicuous.

You asked for plain clothes.

Hey!

Hey, Stop! Come back here! \Whoal

-Let me take this... -No, no. Let it go. | can do it.

Yeah.

I'm going straight from now on.

American News Service? What did he mean?

Well, you know, you say you're with the press,

you can get away with anything.

Going to church to get married on a scooter, that's a hot one.

Joe's a wonderful liar.

Congratulations. Congratulations.

You don't have to look so worried. | won't hold you to It.

Thank you very much.

You don't have to be too grateful!

Okay, | won't.

I'm a good liar, too, aren't |, Mr. Bradley?

The best | ever met.

Thank you very much.

Say...

Come with me.

The mouth of truth.

The legend Is that If you're given to lying and put your hand in there,

It'll be bitten off.

What a horrid idea.

Let's see you do It.

Let's see you do It.

Sure.

Hello.

You beast!

It was perfectly all right! You never hurt your hand!

I'm sorry. It's just a joke.

You never hurt your hand.

I'm sorry. You okay?

-Yes. -All right. Let's go.

Look out!

I'll park at the corner.

What do they mean, all these inscriptions?

Well, each one represents a wish fulfilled.

It all started during the war when there was an air raid right out here,

a man with his four children was caught in the street.

They ran over against the wall right there for shelter

and prayed for safety.

Bombs fell very close, but no one was hurt.

Later on, the man came back and he put up the first of these tablets.

Since then, it's become a sort of a shrine.

People come, and whenever their wishes are granted,

they put up another one of these little plaques.

Lovely story.

Read some of the inscriptions.

Make a wish?

Tell the doctor?

Anyway, the chances of it being granted are very slight.

Well, what now?

I've heard of a wonderful place for dancing on a boat.

You mean, the barges down by Sant'/Angelo?

Yes, couldn't we go there tonight?

-Why not? -Anything you wish.

And then at midnight, I'll turn Into a pumpkin

and drive away In my glass slipper.

And that'll be the end of the fairytale.

Well, | guess Irving has to go now.

| dO?

Yes, you know, that big business development of yours

that you have to attend to?

Oh, the development.

Yes, can't afford not to take care of that.

Yeah. I'll see you later, Smitty.

-Good luck with the big development. -Thanks.

Two, please.

Hello.

Hello.

Mr. Bradley, If you don't mind my saying so,

| think you are a ringer.

A what?

Thanks very much.

You've spent the whole day doing things I've always wanted to.

Why?

| don't know. It seemed the thing to do.

I've never heard of anybody so Kind.

It wasn't any trouble.

Or so completely unselfish.

Let's have a drink at the bar.

There you are!

| look for you a long time. | think maybe you not come.

Off... All off!

It's nice without, Isn't It?

Cool.

Very, very good.

This Is Mr. Bradley.

|, Mario Delani.

Old friends?

Yes. He cut my hair this afternoon. He Invited me here tonight.

Well, what did you say the name was?

Delani. Mario Delani.

Mario Delani. I'm very glad to know you.

Me, too.

May | enjoy myself... The pleasure... Do you mind?

No, no. Go right ahead.

Thank you.

-Did | miss anything? -You're just In time, pal.

Who's Smitty dancing with?

The barber.

Cut her hair this afternoon. Made a date for tonight.

The princess and the barber.

What Is It?

August.

Thank you!

Bye.

Your Highness.

You'll dance quietly towards the entrance.

There Is a car waiting.

-No. -Your Highness, please.

You've made a mistake.

Let me go. Will you let me go?

Mr. Bradley! Let me go, will you? Mr. Bradley!

Let go!

You...

Hit him again, Smitty!

-Joe, here are my car keys. -The police. The police. Come on.

The other side of the bridge.

All right?

Fine. How are you?

Fine.

Say, you know, you were great back there.

You weren't so bad yourself.

| guess we'd better get Irving's car and get out of here.

This 1s The American Hour from Rome,

continuing our program of musical selections.

Everything ruined?

No. They'll be dry in a minute.

Suits you.

You should always wear my clothes.

It seems | do.

| thought a little wine might be good.

Shall | cook something?

No Kitchen. Nothing to cook. | always eat out.

Do you like that?

Life isn't always what one likes.

IS It?

No, It isn't.

-Tired? -A little.

You've had quite a day.

A wonderful day.

This 1s The American Hour from Rome,

broadcasting a special news bulletin In English and Italian.

Tonight, there is no further word

from the bedside of Princess Ann in Rome,

where she was taken Ill yesterday

on the last leg of her European goodwill tour.

This has given rise to rumors that her condition may be serious,

which Is causing alarm and anxiety among the people in her country.

-The news can wait till tomorrow. -Yes.

May | have a little more wine?

I'm sorry | couldn't cook us some dinner.

Did you learn how In school?

I'm a good COOK.

| could earn my living at It.

| can sew, too, and clean a house and iron.

| learned to do all those things.

| just haven't had the chance to do it for anyone.

Well, it looks like I'll have to move

and get myself a place with a kitchen.

Yes.

| shall have to go now.

Anya...

There's something that | want to tell you.

No, please.

Nothing.

| must go and get dressed.

Stop at the next corner, please.

Okay.

Here?

Yes.

| have to leave you now.

I'm going to that corner there and turn.

You must stay in the car and drive away.

Promise not to watch me go beyond the corner.

Just drive away and leave me,

as | leave you.

All right.

| don't know how to say good-bye.

| can't think of any words.

Don't try.

Your Royal Highness, 24 hours, they can't all be blank.

They are not.

But what explanation am | to offer Their Majesties?

| was Indisposed. | am better.

Ma'am, you must appreciate that | have my duty to perform,

Just as Your Royal Highness has her duty.

Your Excellency,

| trust you will not find it necessary to use that word again.

Were | not completely aware of my duty to my family and my country,

| would not have come back tonight,

or, Indeed, ever again.

And now, since | understand we have a very full schedule today,

you have my permission to withdraw.

No milk and crackers.

That will be all, thank you, Countess.

Is It true? Did you really get it?

Did | get what?

The princess story. The exclusive. Did you get it?

No, no, | didn't get It.

What? But that's impossible.

Have a cup of coffee or something?

-Joe, you can't hold out on me. -Who's holding out on you?

-YOouU are. -What are you talking about?

| Know too much.

First you come into my office

and ask about an exclusive on the princess.

Next, you disappear.

Then | get the rumor from my contact at the embassy

that the princess isn't sick at all and she's out on the town.

What kind of a newspaperman are you?

You believe every two-bit rumor that comes your way?

Yeah, and a lot of other rumors

about a shindig on a barge down by the river

and the arrest of eight Secret Service men

from a country which shall be nameless.

And then comes the news of the lady's miraculous recovery.

It all adds up.

And don't think by playing hard to get you'll raise the price of that story.

A deal's a deal.

Now, come on, come on, where Is that story?

| have no story.

-Then what was the idea of... -Joe!

-Man, wait till you see these. -Irving...

Hiya, Mr. Hennessy. You got here at the right time.

-Irving... -Wait till you get a look...

What's the idea?

What do you mean charging in here and spilling things all over my place?

Who's spilling?

You did. | spoke to you about that once before.

Don't you remember?

Joe, look at my pants.

Yeah, you'd better come In here and dry them off, Irving.

Nuts to that.

-Hey, did you tell him about Smitty? -Irving...

Smitty?

-Mr. Hennessy... -Irving...

Wait till...

There you go again, Irving.

Joe.

-All right, save that till later. -Listen...

You're here early, anyway. Why don't you go home and shave?

-Shave? -Yeah, or else keep quiet

till Mr. Hennessy and | are finished talking.

Hey, what kind of a routine Is that?

What are you two guys up to? Who's Smitty?

He's a guy that we met. You wouldn't care for him.

What am | supposed to look at?

NO, Just a couple of Irving's dames. You wouldn't like them.

Maybe you would.

Don't change the subject. When you came back into my office yesterday...

Yeah, | know, yesterday at noon, | thought | had a good lead,

put | was wrong.

That's all there Is to It. There Is no story.

Okay.

She's holding the press interview today. Same time, same place.

Maybe that's one story you can get.

And you owe me 500 bucks!

Take It out of my salary, 50 bucks a week.

Don't think | won't.

Hey, what gives?

Have we had a better offer?

Irving, | don't know just how to tell you this, but...

Wait till | sit down.

Well, In regard to the story that goes with these,

there Is no story.

Why not?

| mean, not as far as I'm concerned.

Hey, the pictures came out pretty well. You want to have a look at them?

How about a blowup from a negative that size?

-That's her first cigarette. -Oh, yeah. At Rocca's.

Hey, the mouth of truth.

Oh, you want to know the caption | had in mind there?

"Barber cuts In."

Well, here's the one | figured would be the key shot for the layout.

"The wall where wishes come true."

Joe, that's good.

Lead off with that, then follow up with the wishes.

| dug that up out of the file.

"Princess inspects police.”

Yeah.

"Police Inspects princess.”

How about It?

-Joe, | got a topper for you. -Pretty good...

Wow!

-Is that a shot? -What a picture!

Is that a shot, Joe?

"Bodyguard gets body blow."

Yeah. No, how about this?

"Crowned head."

| get it! That's... Joe, you got...

She's fair game, Joe.

It's always open season on princesses.

You must be out of your mind.

Yeah, | know, but...

Well, look, | can't prevent you from selling the pictures If you want to.

-You'll get a good price for them. -Yeah!

You going to the interview?

Are you going?

Yeah. It's an assignment, isn't it?

Yeah.

I'll see you.

It ain't much, but it's home.

Ladies and gentlemen, please approach.

Her Royal Highness.

Your Royal Highness, the ladies and gentlemen of the press.

Does Your Highness believe that federation would be

a possible solution to Europe's economic problems?

as | have faith in relations between people.

May | say, speaking for my own press service,

we believe that Your Highness's faith will not be unjustified.

| am so glad to hear you say It.

Which of the cities visited did Your Highness enjoy the most?

Each In its own way...

Each In its own way was unforgettable.

It would be difficult to...

Rome.

By all means, Rome.
