this is our four thousand, one hundredth

7
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:07,519
episode special and we're going to bring
you the Locks Radio Theater adaptation of the

8
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Maltese Falcon. Now, typically I
don't do hour long specials except for two

9
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:19,000
hundredth episodes like four thousand, two
hundred, four thousand, four hundred,

10
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:26,280
etc. However, we have another
Maltese Falcon adaptation we're going to play when

11
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:33,239
we finish up the Sam Spade series
with Stephen Dunne. So I don't want

12
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,439
to have a situation we're playing that
story too often. All right, Well,

13
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:41,400
all that out of the way,
we're going to be bringing you Edgar

14
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,079
g. Robinson in The Maltese Falcon, the original airdate February eighth, nineteen

15
00:01:47,159 --> 00:02:07,280
forty three. Let's go ahead and
take a lesson Let's presents Hollywood. The

16
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:13,240
lux Radio Theater brings you Edward g
Robinson, Gail Patrick, and Laird Creegar

17
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,360
In The Maltese Falcon, Ladies and
Gentlemen. Your producer, mister Cecil B.

18
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:31,280
DeMille, readings from Hollywood, Ladies
and Gentlemen. Some people like mystery

19
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:38,400
stories because of the intellectual challenge they
present. Personally, I'm seldom able to

20
00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:43,039
figure out who done it without skipping
to the back of the book. But

21
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:46,240
give me a good detective story,
and like presidents, bankers, housewives and

22
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:52,120
chorus girls the country over, I
find that my own troubles hold up their

23
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:57,360
tents like the Arabs and silently steal
away to night. We point with pride

24
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,199
to a triumph of the art,
the Dashal classic The Maltese Falcon, brought

25
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,800
to us by three of our favorite
stars, Edward g Robinson, Gail Patrick

26
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:14,199
and Laird Krieger. The Warner Brothers
screenplay was masterfully written and directed by John

27
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:20,479
Houston, who comes by his talent
naturally because he's Water Houston's son. For

28
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,879
the next hour, we'll follow the
eerie trail of this fabulous falcon, which

29
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:30,000
is coveted by many people to their
gradial fortune and to the gradial health of

30
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,879
a few. I think most of
us have a secret desire to be detectives.

31
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,080
At least that seems to be very
true of this audience, because you've

32
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:45,000
done some good, practical detective work
by discovering dozens of different ways to use

33
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:51,120
Luck's Flakes, and that doesn't make
any of us unhappy. Nowadays, many

34
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:55,439
familiar materials are doing a wartime job. Nylon and silk are going into parachutes,

35
00:03:55,719 --> 00:04:00,560
cotton, rayon and wool into uniforms
and many other time uses. That

36
00:04:00,639 --> 00:04:05,400
means that we on the home front
must make the things we have last longer

37
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:11,280
so that our boys on the fighting
fronts will have what they need. You're

38
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:15,680
all trying to track down ways and
means to make washable fabrics last. And

39
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:21,639
the clue that's giving you domestic detectives
dissolution is Luck's Flakes. But now let's

40
00:04:21,639 --> 00:04:26,399
track down the boat He's falcon,
because here's the first act, starring Edward

41
00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,959
g. Robinson as Sam Spade,
Gale Patrick as Brigid, and Laird Krieger

42
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:46,160
as Gutman. At two o'clock in
the morning, the city of San Francisco

43
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,920
lies sleeping under a blanket of fog. Along a lonely street, a man

44
00:04:51,079 --> 00:04:57,879
walks slowly, his footsteps ringing hollowly
against the wet pavement. He passes a

45
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:01,879
deserted alley and stops. The man
turns and peers for a long time into

46
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:08,120
the shadows. Suddenly, one of
the shadows moved. The man stumbles backward,

47
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:23,279
his hands reach out to shield his
body. All right, straight,

48
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:26,360
open up. We know you're in
the strade. Come on, what is

49
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,600
it? It's Dundee and Paul Haws. I want to speak to you.

50
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,959
Let tenant, nice time to make
a call. Yeah, four in the

51
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,439
morning. What did you watch stuff? We don't have any hours. On

52
00:05:41,439 --> 00:05:46,519
the fourth Spade and a couple of
questions ask you, hi town, Hello

53
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,560
Sam? What do you know about
this killing? Spade? Very little?

54
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Aren't you with your partner? Wasn't
he that's right? Spade? And aren't

55
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,199
your private detective? I guess you'd
have to change that name. Yeah,

56
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,720
now on, I just am Spade. Yeah, you don't seem very broken

57
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,720
up over this Spade Miles. Aren't
you get shot dead two hours ago and

58
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040
you toss it off like a Scotch
and soda? No excuse me, will

59
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,040
you have one lieutenant, No,
I won't okay, mind if I have

60
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,759
one lieutenant? You don't like me, do you don? I don't like

61
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,879
any cups who on on the force. I asked you what you knew about

62
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:23,759
miles Arts are getting killed? Once
again? Very little ther boys called me

63
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:27,439
a ten after two. I understand
they found a webbly automatic in the alley

64
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,360
with one bullet out of it.
Yeahs, aren't you out on a job

65
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:31,920
last night? For sure? He
was supposed to be telling a fellow named

66
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:35,560
Floyd Thursby. Thursby, what for? Come on speed? What for?

67
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,600
We were trying to find out where
he lived state? Suppose you answer once

68
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:44,560
without thinking so hard? I don't
like this done? They what are you

69
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,680
sucking around for? Tell me to
get out? He asked you why you

70
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,120
were telling Thursby? I wasn't miles
wide, but as well reasonab we had

71
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600
a client. It was paying good
United States Monday to have him. Who's

72
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:55,240
the client? And I'm sorry I
can't tell you that they reasonable, Sam,

73
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,879
give us a chance. How can
we turn up anything on miles killing

74
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,160
if you won't tell us what you've
got? Okay? It was a girl

75
00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:06,120
who wanted us to tale Thursday.
What girl came into the office yesterday afternoon.

76
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:10,319
I didn't know who she was.
Eff He announced her about three o'clock,

77
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:18,600
said there was a girl to see
me, Carolyne. Girl to see

78
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,199
you, mister Spade. She says, her name's Wonderly. What is she

79
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,399
for your customer? I guess so
you'll want to see her anyway, mister

80
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Spade. She's a naca. Oh
if you were in, Effie Darling,

81
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,360
will you comm Thank you Spade?
That's right? And what can I do

82
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:39,759
for you this wonderly? Well,
I I don't know where to start.

83
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,160
I asked at the hotel for the
name of a reliable private detective and they

84
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,879
mentioned yours. And I suppose you
tell me about it from the very beginning.

85
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,439
Well, I'm from New York.
I've come here to find my sister.

86
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:56,000
Well, are you sure she's in
San Francisco? She was two weeks

87
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,920
ago. I had a letter from
her. She she came here with a

88
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,480
man named Thursday. Floyd Thursday,
I mean she ran away with him,

89
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,360
yes, or mister Spade. I've
got to find her modern father and Honolulu,

90
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,399
and it would kill them. I've
got to get her back before they

91
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:11,560
come home. Well, what did
she say on the letter? Nothing except

92
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,439
that she was all right. I
sent her a note begging her not to

93
00:08:13,439 --> 00:08:16,439
do anything foolish. I sent it
to General Delivery. I told her I

94
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,519
was coming out together. I shouldn't
have done that, should I? Oh,

95
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,920
it's not always easy to know what
to do. I haven't found her.

96
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,600
No, No, I told her
I'd be at the Saint Mark for

97
00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:30,240
her to meet me there. But
I've waited three whole days. She didn't

98
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:35,279
come, didn't even send a message. It was horrible waiting. Yesterday afternoon

99
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,960
I went to the post office.
Karin didn't come for her, Mayor,

100
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,240
but Floyd Thursday did or did you
speak to him? Yes, he wouldn't

101
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,039
tell me where Karin was, but
he promised to bring her to the hotel

102
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:52,240
this evening. Oh's all right,
all right, oh, miss Wanderle.

103
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:56,360
This is mister Roger, my partner. How do you do anything I can

104
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,360
do? Sam? Well, Miss
Wanderles sister ran away from New York with

105
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,279
a fellow named Thursbay As Wanderley seems
thirsty and has stated with him, knight

106
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,879
at the Saint Mark if you bring
your sister with him before your chances already,

107
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,000
won't Miss Wanderley want us to find
him as sister and get her away

108
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,600
from him back home? Right?
Yes, but I want you to know

109
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:18,360
that he's a dangerous man. I
don't think you'd stop at anything. I

110
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,720
don't believe he'd hesitate to kill Corin
if he thought it would save him.

111
00:09:22,879 --> 00:09:24,840
At what time it's coming to see
you? Between eight and ten? All

112
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,799
right, Miss Wanderley? Will have
a man? Oh no, Sam,

113
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,639
No, this is too important for
that. I'll look after it myself,

114
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,480
Miss Wonderley. Oh, thank you, not at all? Oh? Oh

115
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,639
here, I I've brought some money. Will two hundred dollars be enough?

116
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,039
Oh? Again with yeah? Oh? Well, by the way, it

117
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,360
what helps him? If you meet
Thursday in the lobby, why will you

118
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:50,200
don't have to look for me,
Miss Wanderley. I'll see you all right,

119
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,440
thank you? Goodbye, goodbye by
Miss Wanderley. So good night,

120
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:01,559
yes, goodbye. What do you
think of you saw her first? Sam?

121
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,279
When I spoke first, I wasn't
talking about a figure? What about

122
00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:09,960
a story? Huh? Oh?
What about it? Well? You got

123
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:20,200
a great brain, Mile, Yes
you have. Miles went out to tailor

124
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,559
Thursbay last night. Yeah, and
Thursbay shot him? Is that what you

125
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,039
think? Oh, that's what you
think that I don't know. Tom,

126
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:28,279
get on the phone, call a
Saint Mark and ask for a girl name

127
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,519
Winderling. I thought of that myself
to Tanna, he's never registered. The

128
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,600
whole story was probably a fake,
wasn't. How about yours, mister Spake?

129
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,440
Tell him what's your boyfriend getting at? I'll tell you what I'm getting

130
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,159
at, boyd. Thursday was shot
down in front of US hotel an hour

131
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,919
ago. Take a pause off me, easy, boss, don't got the

132
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,720
mother? Well were you the night
spade? I was right here all night

133
00:10:48,759 --> 00:10:52,399
long? Got me proof? No? Do you think I shot Thursbay?

134
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,399
Huh yeah, I think you did. I know where I stand now Thursby

135
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,519
die? How did I kill him? I forget? He was shot three

136
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:05,759
times in the bank with the forty
four. I'll tell people know anything about

137
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,080
him, nothing except they've been there
a week alone alone? Or did you

138
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,639
find out who he was? What
his game was? No, we thought

139
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,159
you could tell us dead. I've
never seen Thursday dead. Are alive?

140
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,159
Now? It looks if you did
get Thursbey, you'll get a square deal

141
00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,279
out of me. In most of
the breaks know that I blame you a

142
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:24,000
life the man who killed your partner. But God wouldn't keep me from there.

143
00:11:24,039 --> 00:11:28,399
To you fair enough, and I
feel better about it if you'd have

144
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,240
a drink with me. No,
no, Well, good night, gentlemen.

145
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:54,320
I'm tired. Hello, yes,
oh, hello, this one la?

146
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,440
Where are you? Well? God

147
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,399
I'll be there in a few minutes. Oh, by the way, what's

148
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:16,879
your name? Was warning Missus le
Blanc? Okay, Missus LeBlanc, I

149
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:20,919
have a terrible confession to make.
Yeah, go ahead, Missus le Blanc.

150
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Well that that story I told you
yesterday was all a story. Oh

151
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,519
that's all right. I didn't believe
your story anyhow. I believe you have

152
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,480
two hundred dollars. Oh you paid
too much for someone who was telling the

153
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,600
truth. I see. Oh,
let's clear up one thing first, mister

154
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,320
Blank, what your name now?
What is it? Not le Blink?

155
00:12:35,519 --> 00:12:41,840
No, it's really Shaughnessy. First
name, Bridget Brigard Shaughnessy. Oh that's

156
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,840
what I can believe. Mister Spade. Tell me, am I to blame

157
00:12:43,919 --> 00:12:46,960
for last night? Well, you
warned us that Thursby was dangerous. I

158
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,039
wouldn't say it was your porn.
Oh thank you. Mister Archer was so

159
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,919
so alive yesterday, so solid and
heart stop it any what he was doing.

160
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,919
Those are the chances we take anyway. There's no time for worrying about

161
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,440
that. Right now. There's a
flock of cops running around with their noses

162
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,759
to the ground, mister Spade.
Do they know about me? Well,

163
00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:09,039
so far, all they know is
if there's a girl somewhere. But must

164
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,720
they know about me at all?
Mister Spade. Couldn't you manage to shield

165
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,200
me from home? Maybe? But
I'll have to know what it's all about.

166
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,840
Well, I can't tell you now. Later I will. You'll have

167
00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,320
to trust me. Oh I'm so
alone and afraid. I've got nobody to

168
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,519
help me. If you won't please
trust me, help me. Be generous,

169
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:33,840
mister Spinning. You don't need much
of anybody though you're good people arrived,

170
00:13:33,919 --> 00:13:37,000
I think I man frob you get
into your voice when you say things

171
00:13:37,039 --> 00:13:41,320
like he generates Spade All right,
I deserved it, But the lie was

172
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,840
in the way I said nothing.
What I said You're gonna leave if you're

173
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:48,639
like, oh no, not yet. I've got nothing against trusting you blindly,

174
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,480
but I can't do you any good
if I don't know what it's all

175
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:54,200
about. For instance, I've got
to have some sort of a line on

176
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,559
your friend's hrsby I met been Hong
Kong. We came here just last week.

177
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Where not from Hong Kong? Where? Why? I can't tell you.

178
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,600
I'll go on. I needed him, I was completely dependent on him.

179
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,440
He knew with me, took advantage
of it to double Crossmo. Wow,

180
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,120
I can't tell you that either.
Well, why do you want him

181
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,120
shadowed? I wanted to learn how
far he'd gone whom he was meeting?

182
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,600
Did he kill Archer? Yes,
certainly, Firsbee had a luger in his

183
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,840
shoulder. Archer wasn't killed with a
lugar. Floyd always carried an extra devolve

184
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,759
in his overcoat pocket. Why all
the guns? He lived by them?

185
00:14:28,519 --> 00:14:31,720
Picked the nice playmate? All right, let's have it now. How bad

186
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,240
a spot are you in? As
bad as bad? Could be physical danger?

187
00:14:35,399 --> 00:14:39,399
Yes, and I'm not heroic.
I don't think there's anything worse than

188
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,879
death. Oh, shut out.
I mean someone I might kill you,

189
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,039
Yes, and they'll get me unless
you help. You've got to help you

190
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,639
here. You've got to shut up
all right, I'll help you, and

191
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,399
they'll probably give it to me too, all right, So why I guess

192
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:54,600
I won't be the first guy who
let a name make a sucker out of

193
00:14:54,679 --> 00:15:09,679
him. Back again, mister Spade, whoever the fellow was here this morning,

194
00:15:09,759 --> 00:15:18,559
here's his card. You'll Carol cure
your character foreign type. He smells

195
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:24,440
like Guardinia da Well shoot him in
effie. Right? Are you come in

196
00:15:24,519 --> 00:15:31,080
with Carol? Very kind? Thank
you? No sit down now, mister

197
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,720
Carol, thank you. I'm Sam
Spade something I no volumes, Yes,

198
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,960
thank you. But first, may
a stranger offer condolences for your partner's unfortunate

199
00:15:41,039 --> 00:15:46,600
death. Thank you? And may
I ask mister Spade if there is a

200
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:52,519
certain relationship between that and the death
of the man Thursby. May I ask

201
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:56,639
that no, I beg your pardon, mister Spade. I'm trying to recover

202
00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:03,240
an ornament that has been I always
say mislaid. I thought and hoped you

203
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,559
could assist me. The ornament is
a statuette, the black figure of a

204
00:16:07,679 --> 00:16:10,679
bird. Yeah. Now, I
am prepared to pay on behalf of the

205
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:15,360
figure's rifle owner the sum of five
thousand dollars for its recovery and what is

206
00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:21,799
the phrase no questions will be asked? Five thousand dollars, a lot of

207
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:26,240
money, come in? Is there
anything else for me to say? Hello?

208
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,639
Good night, effie, and a
lot the door when you go with

209
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:33,720
you as mister car or five thousand
dollars. What do you think you're doing?

210
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,440
I'm pointing a revolver the spot directly
between your eyes. You will please

211
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,000
clasp your hands together at the back
of your neck and do not move.

212
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,960
I tend to search your office,
and if you attempt to prevent me,

213
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,039
I should certainly shoot you. All
right, go ahead. You will please

214
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,480
stand. I should make sure you
are not armed. Certainly, all right?

215
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,799
Rob the down? Please drop it, Robert? Or do I twist

216
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:06,400
your arm off the elbow? You
here? Take it? Thanks? I

217
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:11,599
sit out over there and behave yourself. You you have grooved me, mister

218
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,480
spade, and I'm sorry. I
guess I got a little annoyed. I

219
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,559
don't like guys who make a phony
offer of five thousand dollars. You are

220
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:21,880
mistaken. This spade that wasn't is
a genuine offer. Yeah, and I

221
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,200
am prepared to pay five thousand dollars
for the figuous return. You have to

222
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,480
figure now, and why did you
risk serious injury to prevent my searching for

223
00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:33,240
it? Well, I should sit
around, let people come in and stick

224
00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:36,799
me up, so the offer still
goes. Uh oh, certainly, all

225
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,119
right, let's put the cards on
the table. Your first guess was that

226
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000
I have a bird. Now there's
nothing to that. I want your second

227
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,559
guest. But you know where it
is, or at least that you know

228
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,880
it is. Way you can get
it where. You're not hiring me to

229
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,880
do any murders or burglaries for you, but simple to get it back if

230
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,599
possible, and an not as lawful
way, if possible, and in any

231
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:59,400
event, with discretion. I am
at the hotel Belvet deal when you wish

232
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,039
to communicate with me, Good evening, mister Spade. Oh I wait,

233
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,920
you know girl in Wonderley. No
I do not love Blank No, I

234
00:18:10,039 --> 00:18:12,640
love about Bridge. Chan. Say
the hotel bell with you, mister Spade,

235
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:19,000
Room six five five okay, oh
biden, way, may I have

236
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,599
my repover back? Please? Oh
yeah, sure, sure I've forgotten.

237
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,119
Yeah, there you are. Thank
you. Now you will please keep your

238
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,599
hands behind your head. I still
intend to search your office. Well I'll

239
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:48,279
be all right, go ahead,
thank you, I mean, mister spad,

240
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,119
do you have any news for me? Yeah? A little? I

241
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,000
mean, did you manage itself that
the police won't have to know about me?

242
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,279
Oh? They won't for a while
anyway. Oh you won't get into

243
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:00,720
any trouble. You won't, mister
spool. Oh I don't mind a reasonable

244
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:07,519
a lot. Do sit down?
Please sit down. I like you aren't

245
00:19:07,519 --> 00:19:10,920
exactly the sort of person you pretendedly, are you? I'm not sure I

246
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,359
know what you mean a schoolgirl manner, stammering, blushing and all that,

247
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:18,200
because if you are, honey,
we'll never get anybody. I'll stop acting,

248
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,519
all right, I'm sorry, I'm
good. I saw Joel Cairo to

249
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,319
night. You know him only slightly. What do you say about? What

250
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,599
about me? Nothing? But what
did he talk about? What he offered

251
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,119
me? Five thousand dollars the black
Bird? Oh? Did he? And

252
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,759
what did you say? I said, five thousand dollars A lot of money,

253
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,039
it is. It's a lot more
than I could ever offer you if

254
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:42,880
I must bid for your loyalty.
Oh that's good coming from you. I

255
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,759
What have you given me besides two
hundred dollars? Have you given me any

256
00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:49,480
of your confidence? Any of the
truth. Can't you trust me a little

257
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,839
longer? How much is a little? What are you waiting for? Well,

258
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,440
I must talk to Joel Cairo.
You can see him tonight. He

259
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:56,720
can't come here. I can't let
him know where I am. I'm afraid

260
00:19:56,759 --> 00:20:02,240
of my place. Then what about
it? All right? But wait,

261
00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:03,960
you'll have to let me go about
this in my own way. You mustn't

262
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,119
have a fair well, yes,
sit and listen while you talk over all

263
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:15,400
time. You're a strange person.
I like you. Yeah, Well,

264
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:26,960
no, one overdoing. No,
I'm just got on. No shaughnessy,

265
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,599
I might advise you, mister Spade. There's a boy outside who seems to

266
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,839
be watching the house as I parted. Boy who is he? Oh?

267
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,839
I don't know. I've done my
nightcare. I'm telling me around town all

268
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:38,559
evening. Did he follow you to
my apart? I shouldn't be far that.

269
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,160
Well, let's start the meeting.
I'm delighted to see you again,

270
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,000
miss Shaughnessy. I was sure you
wouldn't be jo I'll make a drink.

271
00:20:47,519 --> 00:20:51,119
Let's go ahead, Bridget let's just
stay and told me about your order for

272
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,160
the for the falk and how soon
can you have the money ready, It

273
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,640
is ready in cash. Oh,
yes, you're ready to give us five

274
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,039
thousand dollars if we turn over the
falk and to you, I should be

275
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:02,400
able to give you the money to
say half past ten in the morning.

276
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:04,759
But I haven't got before. Oh, don't worry, I'll have it in

277
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:07,480
another week at the most. I
must wait a week, or perhaps not

278
00:21:07,519 --> 00:21:10,759
a whole week. And why,
if I may ask, are you willing

279
00:21:10,759 --> 00:21:14,000
to sell it to me at all? I'm afraid after what happened to Floyd,

280
00:21:14,519 --> 00:21:17,079
I'm afraid to touch it except to
turn it over to somebody else right

281
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,319
away. Tell me exactly what did
happen to Floyd? It was murdered.

282
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,960
But the fat man fat man,
did you hear? I don't know,

283
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:27,400
I suppose, So what difference does
it make? Might make a world of

284
00:21:27,559 --> 00:21:30,759
difference. Yes, you might be
able to get around the fat man Joe

285
00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:33,839
or as you did that one.
It needs to hand bool what was his

286
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:40,279
name? The one you did away
with? You get away to you here?

287
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:47,759
I pulled down this. This is
the second time you've put your hands

288
00:21:47,759 --> 00:21:51,279
on me, mister Spade. I'll
try and make it the last. You

289
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:53,039
better get out. Cayrol I'll call
you tomorrow. You're working for her now

290
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,480
said, I'm working for myself.
I want to go. You offer,

291
00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:00,400
just say so, the offer still
staying. I get out very well,

292
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:07,359
good night, used to space.
Well, we've got some fine friends,

293
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,920
mishaughnessy. They always try to throttle
you. I suppose I ought to thank

294
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,960
you. You've had to talk with
Cairo, and I can talk to me.

295
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,279
Well, it didn't work out the
way I hoped. I'll have to

296
00:22:18,319 --> 00:22:21,599
go now. No, no,
no, not until you've told me about

297
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,440
it. Am I a prisoner?
Maybe? Or maybe that kid outside hasn't

298
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,759
gone home yet? Do you think
he's still there? Likely I'll stay for

299
00:22:29,799 --> 00:22:33,480
a while anyhow, Okay, Oh, well, what's this bird? This

300
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,839
falcon? Maybe everybody's all steamed up
about it. It's a black figure of

301
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,680
a bird, a hawk or falcon, about a foot high or what makes

302
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,720
it sound important? I don't know. They wouldn't tell me, but they

303
00:22:44,759 --> 00:22:47,440
promised me five thousand dollars if I
helped them get it from the man who

304
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,200
had it, that was an Istanbul. Yes, I'll go ahead, that's

305
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,759
all. They promised me the money
to help them, and I did.

306
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:56,440
And then we found out that Joel
Cairo wento deserters, taking the falcon with

307
00:22:56,519 --> 00:23:00,480
him and leaving forward in me nothing. So we did exactly that to mister

308
00:23:00,519 --> 00:23:03,319
Cairo. Then I wasn't any better
off than before, because Floyd hadn't any

309
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:07,720
intention of keeping his promise to me
about sharing. Equally, I learned that

310
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,000
by the time we got here.
What's the bird made of? Porcelain of

311
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:15,759
black stone? I don't know?
You're a liar? What a liar?

312
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:18,279
Yes I am, I've always been
a liar. Don't brag about it.

313
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,759
There any truth at Tall and Landyard? Some not very much. All right,

314
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,920
we've got all night before us.
I'll put some coffee on. We'll

315
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:36,359
try again. Oh I'm so tired. I'm so tired of lying and thinking

316
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,720
up lies and not knowing what's the
lion? What's the truth? Don't ask

317
00:23:38,759 --> 00:23:41,880
me? Please, don't if there's
any kindness in you at all? Now,

318
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,720
what are you trying? Now?
That's right? Going on the beauty?

319
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,799
Let your eyes get nice and starry. What's your arm from mine?

320
00:23:48,799 --> 00:23:52,920
I can look pleadingly at me.
Oh you're great. Do you think it's

321
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,880
going to get you any place?
I couldn't with you? No, Well,

322
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:19,480
don't be so sure, we'll hear
Act two of The Maltese Falcon,

323
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,160
starring Edward g. Robinson, Gail
Patrick and Laird Creegar in just a moment.

324
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,680
Meantime, I have exciting news for
you. The package of luck you

325
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:33,559
have in your home now looks just
like the package you've always bought, But

326
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,079
the flakes inside have been improved so
that they can help you more than ever

327
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:42,920
to save washables in wartime, washables
that may be irreplaceable. Remember the luck

328
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,400
your dealer has now in the same
familiar package is New Improved Lucks, improved

329
00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:53,319
three ways. The first way,
Missus Burton, how would you like to

330
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,839
have a lux that's even milder and
safer than ever? Why that would be

331
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,960
wonderful. But it's hard to see
how Lucks could be milder. Well,

332
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,799
New Improved Lucks is the mildest,
safest ever made to give today's precious washables

333
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:12,079
the super safe care they need to
make them last longer. Now, Missus

334
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:18,160
Johnson, suppose I told you SuDS
from New Improved Lucks are even richer,

335
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,039
more cleansing than before. Why that's
just what I need for the children's things.

336
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:27,240
A soap that's really mild, But
that really gets after the dirt and

337
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,720
missus Sutherland. How would you like
a luck made with SuDS that are even

338
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:37,799
longer lasting, even longer lasting than
before. Why that would make lucks thriftier

339
00:25:37,839 --> 00:25:42,920
than ever. Yes, New Improved
Lucks is better than ever for every soap

340
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,599
and water job you have to do. First, it's the mildest, safest

341
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,920
lucks ever made. Second, its
SuDS are richer, more cleansing. Third,

342
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,400
they're longer lasting SuDS that do more
work. Have more of your washables.

343
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,039
The super safe luck scare not only
silks and woolens and rayons, but

344
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,279
gay cottons, all your colored things. New Improved Luck comes in the same

345
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:18,000
familiar box your dealer has it now
now our producer mister the mill at two

346
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,599
of the Maltese Falcon starring Edward g
Robinson as Sam Spade, Gail Patrick as

347
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:40,480
Bridgid, and Laird Krieger as Gutman. On the trail of the Black Falcon,

348
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,400
Sam Spade has followed nothing but blind
alleys. But now a call comes

349
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,960
from his secretary. He was here
twice, mister Spade. He wouldn't leave

350
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,240
his name though, no place like
region. He said something about the Hotel

351
00:26:52,319 --> 00:26:55,160
Barkley. Well, what did he
look like, ethic? Can you describe

352
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,000
him? Lass? Easy enough?
A big fellow, about two hundred and

353
00:26:57,039 --> 00:27:07,839
seventy pounds, Yeah, a fat
man. In the lobby of the Hotel

354
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,359
Barklay, Sam Spade watches for the
fat man, but he sees only the

355
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:19,640
boy who has followed him for the
last three days. All right, all

356
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,240
right, son where is he?
What? Come on? Where is he?

357
00:27:22,759 --> 00:27:26,160
You worked for him? Don't you
oho? A fat man? I

358
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:27,960
want to speak to him. What
do you think you're doing, Jack Kittenley,

359
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,400
I'll tell you when I am.
We've been tailing around after me for

360
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,039
three days now. I'm getting a
little sick of it. You can tell

361
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,000
the fat man, I said,
so shove off. You have to talk

362
00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:40,920
to me before you throw Sonny,
So will he? I said, shovel

363
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,799
and take a hat out of your
pocket. Comes, don't scare me much.

364
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,799
Keep asking food. You're gonna get
it plenty. People lose their teeth

365
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,759
talking like that. You want to
hang around people? Light and tell the

366
00:27:52,799 --> 00:28:00,039
fat man I called me. Leave
his name, hello, mister Spade,

367
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,960
Mister Gutman called he says the boy
gave him a message. Room four or

368
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:15,319
seven the Barkley this afternoon at three, mister Spade, lighted to see you.

369
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,880
Delighted. How do you do it? Witan? Sit down, my

370
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,240
friend will have a little drink.
I can't stay long. Sorry, I've

371
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,920
got an appointment at the attorney's office. So it's interesting say when missus Spade

372
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,440
excellent, excellent. I just trust
a man who says we he's got to

373
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,920
be careful not to drink too much. It's because he not to be trusted

374
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:42,720
when he does. You're a close
mouthed man, mister Spade. I liked

375
00:28:42,759 --> 00:28:48,440
the dog. I enjoy it better
and better. I just trust a close

376
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:52,119
mouthed man. He generally picks the
wrong time to talk, says the wrong

377
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,640
things. Wilson, we'll talk as
well when we talk about the black bird.

378
00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:02,559
You're them and for me, sir, no beating about the bush,

379
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,279
but right to the point. But
first, sir, answer me a question.

380
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,519
Are you here as miss shaughness is
representative or mister Cairo. There's not

381
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,000
being certain about it either way yet. It depends, But which will you

382
00:29:17,079 --> 00:29:22,640
represent? It will be one or
the other, not necessarily. Who else

383
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:27,920
is there? Well? Me,
that's wonderful, sir, wonderful. I

384
00:29:29,119 --> 00:29:32,039
do like a man who tells you
right off that he's looking out for himself.

385
00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:37,880
Let's talk about the blackbird. Let
mister Spain, have you any conception

386
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,079
of how much money can be got
for that blackbird? No? Well,

387
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,599
sir, if I told you him, if I told you half, you

388
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:52,759
call me a liar. No,
not even if I thought so. You

389
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:56,240
know what the bird is? Of
course, no, I don't. You

390
00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:00,240
don't. They didn't tell you that. Well. I know what it's supposed

391
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,279
to look like, and I know
the value in human life you people put

392
00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:06,319
on it. But miss sure as
he didn't tell you what it is,

393
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,319
and Cairo didn't, I that I
must know what it means. What do

394
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:18,960
they? What is your impression,
sir? Well, there's much to go

395
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,799
by. Cairo wouldn't talk. Girl
said she didn't know that. I took

396
00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:27,880
the grant that she was lying.
Then they don't know. I am the

397
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:33,559
only one in this whole, wide, wonderful world who does. That's great

398
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:41,039
when you've told me that'll make two
of us mathematically correct, sir, But

399
00:30:41,119 --> 00:30:42,480
I don't know if that I'm going
to tell you now, don't be foolish.

400
00:30:42,599 --> 00:30:45,440
You know what it is. I
know where it is. That's why

401
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,359
i'm here. Well, sir,
where is it there? You see?

402
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,160
I must tell things, but you
refuse. That is hardly equitable, sir.

403
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:56,079
No, no, no, no, I don't think we can do

404
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,640
business along these lines. You don't
here. I think again, I think

405
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,720
fast. I told that gunman of
yours that you'd have to talk to me

406
00:31:02,799 --> 00:31:04,119
before you finished. Now i'll tell
you now that you'll do your talking the

407
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,880
day you're through. What are you
wasting my time for? I can get

408
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:14,559
along without you not talk talk Come
in, willma? Oh yeah, yeah,

409
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,359
come in, sunny. Keep your
hand off your gunn or I'll lock

410
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:25,720
your ears down. Listen, you
just stand over there, Wilma. Excitable

411
00:31:25,799 --> 00:31:29,039
young man. Missus, I'll make
up your mind gutman while you're doing it.

412
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,200
Keep that council away from me.
I'll kill him. Mister Spade,

413
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,359
I must say, you're the most
violent temper. I'll think it over.

414
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:51,200
You've got all five thirty, and
you're either in or out for keeps lead.

415
00:31:51,559 --> 00:31:53,799
Oh. I guess might be excellent
or might be crumbing. But missus

416
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:56,640
Spade didn't raise any children dippy enough
to make guesses in front of a distant

417
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,759
attorney in a stenographer. Mister Spade, I wish you wouldn't regard this as

418
00:32:00,799 --> 00:32:06,039
a formal inquiry. And please don't
think I have any belief in those theories.

419
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:10,960
The police see before you see they
think you chay. Yeah, what's

420
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,000
your theory? Is simple? Tell
me who ought you was shadowing Thursday before,

421
00:32:15,279 --> 00:32:20,799
and I will tell you the murder. Oh, that's where you're wrong.

422
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,759
Whether or not I'm wrong isn't for
you to judge. I'm a sworn

423
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,720
officer of the law, mister Spate, my duties. Thought this was an

424
00:32:25,799 --> 00:32:31,440
informal talk. At least think I
mixed up in those kelleyes. My best

425
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:35,799
chance of clearing myself it's bringing the
murder is all tied up. My only

426
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,680
chance of ever tying them up is
by keeping away from you and the cops,

427
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:39,839
because you'd only come up the world. Now just a minute. I

428
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,799
don't want any more of these informal
talks. You want to see me again,

429
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,000
pinch me or subpoena me or something, and I'll come down with my

430
00:32:47,119 --> 00:33:07,440
lawyer. See you at the end. Quiest. Hey you well, hy

431
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,960
son. I didn't expect to see
you in the five twenty five. I

432
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,319
hope, I haven't kept you waiting. Keep on riding me and they'll be

433
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:16,720
picking iron out of your living and
cheap with a crooked bagaudy of a pattern?

434
00:33:17,799 --> 00:33:22,200
Got being ready to dark? He's
waiting at the hotel. Get going?

435
00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:34,079
Are They're on their way up now? Thank you? Oh? Hello,

436
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,680
operator, I don't want to receive
any calls for about an hour.

437
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:45,920
Yes, thank you. I get
at Sunday. Yeah, got, here's

438
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,319
a common six shooter. Well,
what's this? I took it away from

439
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,880
him as a faith he might hurt
himself. I'll get you space someday.

440
00:33:52,880 --> 00:34:00,640
I'll let you have it right,
wait outside will Bye dads. Sir,

441
00:34:00,799 --> 00:34:05,759
you're a chap worth knowing an amazing
character. Yeah. I have mixed a

442
00:34:05,839 --> 00:34:07,400
drink for you. Oh, by
the way, I owe you in a

443
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,920
part la. Never mind, let's
talk about the bird, all right,

444
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:16,440
sir. Let's mister Spade. This
is going to be the most astounding thing

445
00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:22,440
you ever heard. What do you
know, sir about the Knights of Rome?

446
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:28,519
Nothing? Well, they were crusaders, mister Spade. In fifteen thirty

447
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:32,400
nine, these crusading knights persuaded the
Emperor Charles the fifth to give them the

448
00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:37,719
island of Malta. He made but
one condition. They were to pay him

449
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:43,840
each year the tribute of a falcon, an acknowledgement that Malta was still under

450
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,079
spade. You follow me, Yeah, so far? Good, well,

451
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:52,800
sir. The knights were profoundly grateful
to the Emperor for his generosity towards them.

452
00:34:52,599 --> 00:34:58,079
The very first year, they sent
him not an insignificant live bird,

453
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:04,840
but a glorious golden falcon, and
crusted from head to foot, with the

454
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,360
finest jewels in their coffers. Well, sir, what do you think of

455
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:16,760
that? I don't know. These
are facts, historical facts. They sent

456
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,639
this jeweled bird to Charles, who
was then in Spain, but it never

457
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,840
reached Spain. Famous Admiral of Buccaneers
took the knight's galley and the bird.

458
00:35:28,039 --> 00:35:31,840
In seventeen thirteen it turned up in
Sicily. In eighteen forty it appeared in

459
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:37,280
Paris. It had by that time
acquired a coat of black enamels, so

460
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:43,239
that it looked like nothing more than
a fairly interesting black statuette. Then,

461
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,920
in nineteen twenty two, a great
dealer named Charalius founded in an obscure shop

462
00:35:50,119 --> 00:35:53,800
no thickness of enamel could conceal value
from his eyes. Three cups, sir,

463
00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,800
Yeah, Oh, go on,
wellsurn to hold it safe. Charleos

464
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:04,519
re enameled the bird. I got
wind of his fine, But when I

465
00:36:04,639 --> 00:36:08,119
arrived in Athens, I discovered that
the bird was gone and Charleius murdered.

466
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:17,039
That was over twenty years ago.
Well, sir, it took me twenty

467
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,599
years to locate that birth, but
I did. I traced it to the

468
00:36:22,679 --> 00:36:29,239
home of a Russian general, one
Kemiedoff, East Tamboo. I sent some

469
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:37,360
agents to get it. Well,
sir, they got it and I haven't

470
00:36:37,519 --> 00:36:45,599
got it. Where's kamdot oh Keemdoff? He died very saddled. Yeah,

471
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:52,440
his heart was there a knife in
it or a bullet? Your glass?

472
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:58,639
Sir? There go And now before
we start to talk prices, how so

473
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,199
are you willing to produce the falcon? That's quite satisfactor. Well, sir,

474
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:13,440
here's to a fair bargain. Break
up. Oh, what's your idea

475
00:37:13,519 --> 00:37:17,440
of the fair bargain? Twenty five
thousand dollars when you deliver the falcon to

476
00:37:17,639 --> 00:37:22,480
me, and another twenty five thousand
later on, or I'll give you one

477
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:29,159
quarter of what I realize on the
falcon. That would amount to a vastly

478
00:37:29,639 --> 00:37:36,880
greater solf. How much greater?
Oh? No, shall I say one

479
00:37:37,199 --> 00:37:45,960
hundred thousand? That would be the
minimum? M h And the what what's

480
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:51,960
the maximumber? What would you say
to a quarter of a million? Well,

481
00:37:51,960 --> 00:38:00,559
then you think the fingers is worth
a million at least? That's that's

482
00:38:00,559 --> 00:38:05,840
a lot of doll A lot of
doll No, no, huh and the

483
00:38:06,079 --> 00:38:14,119
um matt maximum? And what's the
matter, mister Spain? Are you feeling

484
00:38:14,199 --> 00:38:22,239
you? I feel? What is
the what is in that? That drank

485
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:28,840
a dream? Oh? I drugged
it? Yeah, you will be unconscious

486
00:38:29,039 --> 00:38:32,559
very shortly, mister Spain. You'd
better lie down. I wouldn't want you

487
00:38:32,639 --> 00:38:47,719
to fall. That's We're very good. That's very Oh Joe, Joe,

488
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:58,320
come in. Is he unconscious?
Yes, you know he's a very interesting

489
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,920
person, Joe, the kind of
a man I am sure dealing with.

490
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:47,559
We pause now for station identification.
This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. After

491
00:39:47,639 --> 00:39:52,519
a brief intermission, Edward g.
Robinson, Gail Patrick, and Laird Creeker

492
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:59,199
will return in the third act of
The Maltese Falcon. Now here's a question

493
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,599
for the women in our audience.
If you could make your stockings last far

494
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:08,280
longer just by doing one very easy
thing. Would you do it? Of

495
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,960
course you will? Then listen to
this. Recent tests show how to cut

496
00:40:14,039 --> 00:40:20,039
down stocking runs over fifty percent.
Yes. A famous laboratory, the United

497
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:28,000
States Testing Company Incorporated, repeatedly washed
rayon stockings different ways, then tested them

498
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:34,519
on an almost human machine, a
sort of mechanical leg that strained stockings the

499
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:39,199
way you do in actual wear.
Here's what they found. Washing with new

500
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:47,360
improved LUX cut down runs over fifty
percent. Yes, the luxed stockings tested

501
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,039
on the machine didn't go into runs
nearly as easily as stockings washed with a

502
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:58,280
strong soap or rubbed with cake soap. They lasted ever so much longer.

503
00:40:58,679 --> 00:41:04,960
You see, new improved LUX saves
elasticity, so stockings can take extra strain

504
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:09,679
without breaking into runs so easily.
And here's what girls find in actual experience.

505
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:15,400
Why I got over twice the wear
from my LUX stockings. Lucks cut

506
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,400
my runs almost in half. That
means a lot now that stockings are so

507
00:41:19,559 --> 00:41:24,000
precious. Better stick to LUX and
avoid those enemies of stockings, cake soap,

508
00:41:24,119 --> 00:41:30,840
rubbing and strong soaps. One special
hint about rayons they need twenty four

509
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:37,159
to forty eight hours drying time,
get new improved lucks tomorrow. It's in

510
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:42,920
the same familiar box and your dealer
has it right now now, mister de

511
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,360
Mill returns to the microphone. One
of tonight's stars through the Atlantic recently.

512
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:52,559
We'll hear about it right after play
now. The third act of The Marty's

513
00:41:52,599 --> 00:42:05,320
Farton starring Edward G. Robinson,
gave Patrick and Laird Prigar. When Sam

514
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:08,679
Spade woke up, he was alone
in the hotel room, pale and still

515
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,639
shaking from the effects of the drug. He's gone to his office, where

516
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:17,880
Ethel stares at him in alarm.
Mister Spade, what happened to you?

517
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,719
No? I went visiting this afternoon
with that knockout drops and came through just

518
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,400
a little while ago. I spread
out on a man's floor. Who did

519
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,960
it? A fat man? But
why? Didn't have a chance to ask?

520
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,519
Evidently wanted to get me out of
the way for something. But I

521
00:42:34,599 --> 00:42:40,000
don't get at you. Hello,
Yes, what I can't hear you?

522
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:46,559
Give it to me again? Yes, I've got that captain who Jacoby?

523
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:53,039
Yes? I hello, Hello,
she's gone? Who's gone? Who was

524
00:42:53,079 --> 00:42:58,679
the shaughnessy. Girl, she wants
you. Here's the address. She's in

525
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,440
some kind of trouble, mister Spade. She was telling me something about a

526
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:06,239
captain, a ship captain named Jacobe, and then and then something happened to

527
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,840
her. What happened, I don't
know. Like she was being choked.

528
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:16,840
Listen, is that the outside door? I'll see? Yes? What do

529
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:23,840
you do? Who is it,
Eppie? I don't know what. Let's

530
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:31,119
do, Spain. Yes, this
package? What you he told me?

531
00:43:32,599 --> 00:43:44,880
What are you? What's the matter
with you? Or you du lock the

532
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,760
door? Yes, give me the
scissors from the desk. But yeah,

533
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:53,320
I want to see what's in this
package. Here. He did about four

534
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,679
slugs and then that's all. Come

536
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:09,920
Yeah, yeah, what is it? You've got it? Angel, We've

537
00:44:10,079 --> 00:44:15,039
got it. The Maltese falcon.
The fuck look at it? The blackbird

538
00:44:15,599 --> 00:44:19,760
a million bucks under a coat of
an armor. She send him with it.

539
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,039
That's what he tried to tell us. He must be Captain Jacobby.

540
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,920
Listen, I've got to get to
her as soon as I've done formed the

541
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,519
police. Tell him out happened to
forget it, brought a bundle O can't

542
00:44:28,519 --> 00:44:30,800
get it straight now, Yes,
I leave a bird and a safe when

543
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:31,800
I call you, bring it to
that anti street address. Caught it.

544
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,800
Yeah, and after you bring it
to me, go out and call Dante.

545
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:36,840
Tell him to come on the rondad
about six cops. No mistakes,

546
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:46,519
SEPPI, I may need them.
Just keep your hands up, mister Spade

547
00:44:46,599 --> 00:44:52,920
and come in whom to shut the
door. Well, so we're all here

548
00:44:52,679 --> 00:44:59,079
waiting for you. Now, let's
sit down, mister Spade and be comfortable.

549
00:44:59,679 --> 00:45:00,920
Yeah, Sam, I tried to
call y'all. I wanted to tell

550
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:05,320
you it's all right. They've been
holding me here all last night and today.

551
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,880
But you've come to no harm,
Miss Shaughnessy as yet. Oh,

552
00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:13,679
mister Spade, I believe you know, mister Cairo. Yeah, how do

553
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,719
you do? And Wilma go.
You're carrying a rod. Let me sing,

554
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,320
I get away. You're not going
to frisk me. Stand still,

555
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,840
but your pawn, man, I'm
going to make you use that gun.

556
00:45:22,679 --> 00:45:25,360
Ask your boss if he once we
shut up before we talk, sit down,

557
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:34,360
will mister Spade, you're certainly a
most headstrong individual. Well let's talk.

558
00:45:34,679 --> 00:45:37,000
Yeah, you're ready to make the
first payment and take the falcon off

559
00:45:37,079 --> 00:45:39,679
my hands. You're sure you have
it, Sam, have you? I

560
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:43,360
didn't just after noon, but I
have now. Then I am willing to

561
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,199
pay Joel the money play. Wait, there's another thing to be taken care

562
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:52,280
of. First. We've got to
have a fall guy. I they your

563
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,280
pardon. At least you've got to
have a victim, somebody they can stick

564
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,800
for those three murders too. Oh, only two murders, mister Spade,

565
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:07,280
thurs be undoubtedly killed your part all
right too. The point is I've got

566
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:09,039
to come through with somebody a victim
when the time comes. If I don't,

567
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:13,800
I'll be it. And whom do
you recommend as this victim? Oh?

568
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,480
Well I'm not. I say how
about giving him a wellmer here he'll

569
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:22,639
do? Why you get away punk? By goading? Mister Spade, you

570
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,719
are a character. I'm best dead. We tell them all the cops will

571
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,440
be happy and we'll be free as
the air. But what do you think

572
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:35,199
of this? Will Man? Mighty
funny? Yeah, mighty funny. Well,

573
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,679
anyway, killed Thursday made the order
for the part. Get up on

574
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,119
your feet, away, Punk,
I've taken all the riding for you.

575
00:46:40,199 --> 00:46:45,559
I'm gonna take it up and shoot
it down yourself, will man. Mister

576
00:46:45,639 --> 00:46:49,639
Spade, your plan is not at
all practical. Let's not say anything more

577
00:46:49,639 --> 00:46:52,519
about it, all right, I've
got another suggestion. Want to hear it

578
00:46:52,119 --> 00:46:57,519
most assuredly. Give him the old
Chiro first. We give them you,

579
00:46:57,679 --> 00:47:01,760
mister Spade or Misshaughnessy. About that. You people want the falcon, I've

580
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:06,559
got it in the fall guy's part
of the prize. As for Mishaughnessy,

581
00:47:07,559 --> 00:47:09,079
who think you can be rich for
the part, I'm perfectly wanting to discuss

582
00:47:09,119 --> 00:47:13,960
it with you. What's the matter. You don't mean that you couldn't because

583
00:47:14,039 --> 00:47:17,679
I don't think the cops will be
happy. Questionally, I see only one

584
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:22,360
guy who's really right. That's woman. I'll kill him. I'll kill he

585
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,800
stop it, stop here, I'll
let him go. I told him a

586
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:31,519
way off me. I want him. I hated to do that, but

587
00:47:31,639 --> 00:47:37,679
the punk had it coming to him. There's your fall guy. Mister Godman,

588
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,440
what do you say? I don't
like it. Either you'll say yes

589
00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:43,639
right now, or I'll tell the
falcon. I'm a whole lot of you

590
00:47:43,800 --> 00:48:04,960
in no right you're gonna have Willman
call him inside. Joe, my secretary

591
00:48:05,039 --> 00:48:07,760
left an hour ago at the park
and shareaby here in a few minutes.

592
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:13,559
What about money government in a few
minutes when she gets here? Oh wow,

593
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,679
let's get the details. Face why
that well might killed Thursday? And

594
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,239
why and where did he shoot Captain
Jacoby? Well, I shall be candid

595
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:28,639
with you, sir. Thursby was
Miss Shaughnessy's alive. We believed that disposing

596
00:48:28,679 --> 00:48:32,639
of him would frighten Miss Shaughnessy into
patching up her differences with us. Sounds

597
00:48:32,679 --> 00:48:38,280
all right, now, Jacoby.
Captain Jacoby's death was entirely Miss Shaughness's fault.

598
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:43,440
That's a lie. I'll tell you
what happened. Cairo saw in the

599
00:48:43,559 --> 00:48:47,480
newspaper that jacoby ship was arriving.
He remembered that Jacoby and Miss Shaughnessy had

600
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:52,719
been seen together in Hong Kong.
Well, Sir, he put two and

601
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,679
two together. Guess the truth.
She had given the bird to Jacoby to

602
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:00,000
bring here. As at that juncture
you decided to slipped me the makey.

603
00:49:00,199 --> 00:49:05,880
Huh. Well, I'm sorry there
was no place for you in our plans,

604
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,800
mister stayed, mister Cairo, and
Wilma and I went to the boat

605
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:14,400
to call on Captain Jacoby and Misshaughnessy. We persuaded Miss Shaughnessy to come to

606
00:49:14,519 --> 00:49:16,559
tourneys, or so we thought.
Well, so we mere men should have

607
00:49:16,639 --> 00:49:22,039
known better. Our route to my
hotel, Captain Jacoby and the Falcon slipped

608
00:49:22,079 --> 00:49:27,719
completely through our fingers, except that
Wilmer put a few bullets in him while

609
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:31,840
he was running away. Oh,
by the way, you said Jacoby died,

610
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:37,519
Yes, but not until after we
brought me up the falcon. And

611
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:42,000
there's a bright side to everything,
isn't there. I'll get it. It's

612
00:49:42,039 --> 00:49:45,239
my secretary. You don't mind if
I go to the door with you all.

613
00:49:45,559 --> 00:49:51,880
Come on, mister Space. Well, thanks a lot. I wrapped

614
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,599
it up again. Is there anything
else? Oh? Thanks? Let me

615
00:49:55,639 --> 00:50:02,440
have it quickly here all right?
Guess the pleasure ought to be after twenty

616
00:50:02,599 --> 00:50:12,800
years? Twenty years? There it
is there? You are, beauty?

617
00:50:13,199 --> 00:50:15,679
Is it? Is it? The
Falcon? The original? We will make

618
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:17,960
sure your knife Joe here, thank
you. Just a tiny cut in the

619
00:50:19,079 --> 00:50:23,800
enamel, and underneath we find gutman. What's the matter. It's a fake,

620
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:31,159
it's dead. It's a Faketrey Cathy. All right, Sean, I

621
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:34,719
say you've had your little Joe.
Now tell us about it. No,

622
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,519
Sam, No, that's the one
I got from Kemiedoff. I swear you

623
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,360
bundled it, gutman, you and
your stupid attempt to buy it. Kemedoff

624
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,320
caught on how valuable it was.
He put a fake in its place.

625
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:51,119
Yes, that is Kemedoff's sound,
There's no doubt of it. Well,

626
00:50:51,199 --> 00:50:57,440
Joel, what do you suggest that
we stand here and shed tears and call

627
00:50:57,519 --> 00:51:00,920
each other names? Or shall we
go to East Stamboul? Stamboul? You

628
00:51:01,599 --> 00:51:05,760
you are still going to look for
the falcon. For twenty years I have

629
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,320
wanted that little item and have been
trying to get it. I'll go on

630
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:14,000
trying very well. I'll I'll go
with you. Get Wilma. Let's start

631
00:51:14,039 --> 00:51:19,599
tomorrow, Yes, tomorrow, windom
week. Why he's gone, the window

632
00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:23,159
is open, she's gone. Well, a lot of things we have little

633
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,000
enough to boast about. The world
hasn't come to an end just because we've

634
00:51:28,039 --> 00:51:30,800
run into a little setback. I'm
sorry about your money, mister Spade,

635
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:34,639
but of course you didn't earn it. I held up my end. You

636
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,639
got your falcon. You're all right, luck not mine, but it wasn't

637
00:51:37,679 --> 00:51:39,239
what you wanted my hat, Joe. I'll wait a minute, mister Spade.

638
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,559
It will do you no good to
argue. I haven't the money with

639
00:51:42,639 --> 00:51:45,599
me anyhow, I had an idea
that with it. Now, sir,

640
00:51:45,679 --> 00:51:47,960
we'll say goodbye to you, and
since the shortest farewells are the best,

641
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:53,719
adieu and to you, miss Shawn, and say I leave the lead falcon

642
00:51:54,480 --> 00:52:00,400
as a little memento adieu. Sam, Sam, what are you going to

643
00:52:00,519 --> 00:52:04,679
do? Nothing but those murders?
You are mixed up in them. You

644
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,760
said yourself the police needed a victim. Call him, now tell him about

645
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,280
Gutman. I don't have to call
him. Gutman will be nailed before he

646
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,920
goes a block. But when he's
nailed, he'll talk. That's you.

647
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,960
We're sitting on Dynham. We've only
got a couple of minutes to get offsets

648
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:20,239
with the cops. Now give me
all of it, fast talk. Where

649
00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,920
shall I begin? Well, the
day he first came to my office,

650
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,320
why did you want thesby shadow?
I told you, Sam, I suspected

651
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:27,599
him of betraying you know, I
wanted to find out. That's a lie.

652
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,760
You had to fesby Hook and you
knew it. You wanted to get

653
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:30,920
him out of the way before Jacob
became with a bird. Isn't that so?

654
00:52:31,519 --> 00:52:34,719
Yes? What was your scheme?
Well? I thought that if he

655
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:37,199
saw someone following him, he might
be frightened him. The going away,

656
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,079
Well, he must have told Thasbie
that Archer was following him. Yes,

657
00:52:39,159 --> 00:52:42,920
I told him, But please believe
me, Sam, I wouldn't have told

658
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,440
him if I thought there's the good
killing Well, if you thought he wouldn't

659
00:52:45,519 --> 00:52:49,360
kill Archie, you were right,
Angel didn't. No, Archer had been

660
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,159
a cop too long to be caught
like that up a blind alley where's gun

661
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,000
tucked round his hip and his overcoat
buttoned. But he would have gone up

662
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,559
there with you, Angel. He
was just dumb enough for that, Sam.

663
00:52:57,679 --> 00:52:59,639
And then you could have stood us
close to him as you were likeding

664
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,000
the dog and put a hole throw
him with a gun you had gotten from

665
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,400
Thursby that night. Don't don't talk
to me like that, Sam. You

666
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,360
know I didn't shut up there in
this part of the school girl. Why

667
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,039
did you shoot him? No?
I didn't mean to it first, I

668
00:53:10,159 --> 00:53:13,960
didn't really, But when I saw
that Thursby couldn't be frightened. I,

669
00:53:15,119 --> 00:53:16,679
Sam, go on, go on, when you found the thirst, we

670
00:53:16,679 --> 00:53:19,960
didn't mean to tack larger. You
borrow the gun and did it yourself.

671
00:53:20,079 --> 00:53:22,800
Right. Yes, you didn't know
then that Gutman was here hunting for you

672
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,199
until you have First we had been
shot, and then you knew you needed

673
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:29,199
another protector, so you came back
to me. Yes, But but Sam,

674
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,280
it wasn't only that. I would
have come back to you sooner or

675
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,000
later. From the very first minute
I saw you, I knew that.

676
00:53:35,079 --> 00:53:38,599
I well, if you got a
good break, you'll be out of Saint

677
00:53:38,639 --> 00:53:42,880
Quentman in twenty years and you can
come back to me. Then. Oh

678
00:53:43,039 --> 00:53:45,519
no, you're not going to I'm
going understand you. Oh oh no,

679
00:53:45,639 --> 00:53:49,000
don't, Sam, don't say that
you're taking the fall, Darlly. You're

680
00:53:49,039 --> 00:53:52,639
doing this to me. Don't you
understand, Sam, I'm in love with

681
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,159
you. That's good. But you
can't you can't, Yes, I can't.

682
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:59,280
You kill the man, darling.
Remember you know, deep down in

683
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,840
your heart you know that, in
spite of anything I've done, I love

684
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:05,000
you. I don't care who loves
too. I'm not going to play for

685
00:54:05,079 --> 00:54:07,000
soccer. I won't walk in Fsbi's
and I don't know how many Alice foot

686
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,800
steps. You killed Myles and you're
dying over for it. Sam, that's

687
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,440
the cops. Don't let them in. Please sit tied, honey, Sam

688
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,639
Man, you got the fat boy. They get too a swell. Here's

689
00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:22,960
another one for you. She killed
Myles? Can you prove it? And

690
00:54:23,119 --> 00:54:27,920
I'm as shaughnessy, Can I prove
it? Go on tell them? Yes,

691
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:35,000
all right? Come on, hold
on Ashaughnessy. This this doesn't mean

692
00:54:35,079 --> 00:54:40,360
anything to you, does it.
Maybe you're going anyway. The chances are

693
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,280
you get off for twenty years.
You do, I'll wait for you,

694
00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:59,320
and if they hang you, Angel, I'll always remember you as times you'll

695
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,320
return to the your phone in just
a moment. But now listen a minute.

696
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:15,679
Ammunition for attack shells for a defense
against the enemy. Our boys must

697
00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:21,079
have these things to win the war, and you may be unknowingly throwing away

698
00:55:21,159 --> 00:55:24,679
material needed to help them win.
Waste fats and greases from your kitchen contain

699
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:29,559
bliscerin, one of the things that
goes into the making of explosives. No

700
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:32,880
amount is too small to save.
Think of it this way. One man

701
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,159
doesn't make an army. Yet together, millions of individual Americans make up the

702
00:55:37,199 --> 00:55:43,360
finest army in the world. If
every American housewife turns in one pound of

703
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,159
waste household fats a month, together, that will make five hundred and forty

704
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:52,159
million pounds of smokeless powder a year. Now here's what our government asks us

705
00:55:52,199 --> 00:55:57,119
to do. Strain waste fats and
greases into a can and a clean,

706
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,880
smooth edge can. Don't use glass
or paper. Contain is because they break

707
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:04,480
your leap. The cans you use
will be salvaged later. Keep the can

708
00:56:04,599 --> 00:56:07,239
in a cool place, and when
it's full, take it to your local

709
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:09,960
meat dealer. You'll pay you cash
for each pound of fat. Try to

710
00:56:10,039 --> 00:56:14,320
do this early in the week when
he's not so busy as weekends. Remember,

711
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,719
only waste fats and oils are wanted, not anything you can use or

712
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:22,920
reuse yourself. Every bit is precious. Save it carefully. Within twenty one

713
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,840
days of the time you turn it
into your butcher, it will be on

714
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:31,719
its way to send your message to
the exits. Now here's mister Demill.

715
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,239
Next week's play asks a very vital
question. So vital I'm taking it to

716
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,840
the man on the street for an
answer before I introduce our stars, the

717
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:46,480
question our husband's necessary. Now here's
a man who's just come in from the

718
00:56:46,519 --> 00:56:51,679
street. What do you think,
sir, A husband's necessary? My wife

719
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,639
says yes. My draft boot says
no. Me. I just do what

720
00:56:54,800 --> 00:57:00,559
they tell me. Now I say
what it is. Yet lady has to

721
00:57:00,599 --> 00:57:07,960
say, in your opinion, miss
husband's necessary? Are you kidding? That's

722
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,679
the way it goes. Nobody agrees, but they'll go into that matter later

723
00:57:13,039 --> 00:57:16,760
because the big news has to do
with George Burns and Gracie Allen. To

724
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:22,679
night the Maltese Falcon had its share
of thrills, but in recent weeks Edward

725
00:57:22,719 --> 00:57:25,440
g Robinson has been on the road
to adventure in real life. We'll get

726
00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:30,360
the inside story now, is he
and Gail Patrick and Laird Gregor come back

727
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:34,039
for a curtain call? Must have
been pretty exciting crossing the Atlantic in wartime,

728
00:57:34,199 --> 00:57:37,280
Eddie Oh. We went over by
playing Gale and as we approached the

729
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:38,920
other side it was nipping tut there
for a few minutes. I wasn't sure

730
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:42,800
whether I'd make it or not.
Nazi planes go after you. No,

731
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,840
we were playing bridge and I made
the bit doubled and redoubled. Did you

732
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:50,639
fly back to Eddie. I came
back on a ship layered. I was

733
00:57:50,719 --> 00:57:52,800
sure I got a chance to see
a submarine, but nothing happened. The

734
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:58,239
word must have gone out the Little
Caesar was a board. I don't care

735
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:01,039
about that CV. Purely because of
Little Caesar I received a great distinction.

736
00:58:01,519 --> 00:58:06,760
Fellows made me an honorary member of
the gun crew. Seriously, Eddie.

737
00:58:07,039 --> 00:58:09,360
In entertaining our soldiers in England,
how did you find them? Are they

738
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:15,760
cheerful? Cheerful and determined? CB? As for the English people, nothing

739
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:20,400
seems to bother them. They've had
rationings so long it isn't the topic of

740
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,920
conversation now. That great clot Big
Ben was somebolic of the whole country.

741
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:30,360
To me, every time it strikes
it seems to be saying it's later than

742
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,400
you think it all fit. Love. I suppose you did some broadcasting yourself

743
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,960
over there, Eddie. Well,
one afternoon I broadcast six messages to the

744
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,719
continent in French, Spanish, Romanian, German, Danish and Italian. What

745
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,880
no Greek? While I'm working on
Russian at the moment. I want to

746
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:49,760
be able to say thank you to
all the Russians I meet from now on

747
00:58:50,079 --> 00:58:52,599
have you read many successes on the
screen, But in years to come,

748
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:57,800
I think you will value most the
success you achieved in this job for your

749
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,280
country. Thank you, CD.
What are you doing here next week?

750
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:04,920
Now, that's when the big question
comes up again, Eddie, because next

751
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:09,960
week our play is the paramount comedy
hit, Our Husbands Necessary, and in

752
00:59:10,079 --> 00:59:17,159
it we'll present those eminent thespians George
Burns and Gracie Allen's. In the play,

753
00:59:17,239 --> 00:59:22,000
George works in a bank and Gracie
is secretly trying to help his career.

754
00:59:22,639 --> 00:59:25,760
So tune in next Monday night and
get Gracie Allen's answer to that burning

755
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:30,679
question. Our Husband's Necessary sounds like
a lot of fun cyd good Night,

756
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:42,920
good night, good night, and
don't miss George and Ratie. Our sponsors,

757
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,199

what Betty said, hasn't Jane got a

769
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:46,039
lot of pep and charm? But
here's what Betty thought. That woman gets

770
01:00:46,079 --> 01:00:50,760
in my hair? Where does she
get all that energy? Do you envy

771
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,280
others because they have more pep than
you? Maybe your trouble is plain vitamin

772
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:59,400
deficiency. Thems may help you feel
better than you ever thought you could.

773
01:01:00,039 --> 01:01:04,880
Limbs have the six vitamin formula.
Doctors and doors three vital minerals also get

774
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,280
that vim's feeling. It's VII for
vitamins double ms for minerals them. This

775
01:01:09,559 --> 01:01:22,199
is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Welcome
back. Well, this is an interesting

776
01:01:22,599 --> 01:01:30,760
episode of the Locks Radio Theater.
Typically when we play Lucks Radio Theater presentations,

777
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:36,920
we typically have some of the original
cast present. For example, in

778
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:42,199
the adaptation of Laura, I think
the only person we were missing was Clifton

779
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,760
Webb. Here we don't have anyone
from the original movie. And this is

780
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:52,440
something you would see with Locks Radio
Theater when you got towards the end of

781
01:01:52,559 --> 01:01:58,320
its run in the fifties, and
budgets were not what they once were and

782
01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:02,800
viewership wasn't what it was During the
war, the issue tended to be actor

783
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:12,559
availability. Add to normal issues that
you would have with an actor's schedule in

784
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,880
terms of other movies that they're working
on, and the top four or five

785
01:02:17,039 --> 01:02:22,639
players in the multi se Falcon we're
all very busy during wartime, the fact

786
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:28,639
that many of them were involved in
war work and entertaining the tropes, and

787
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,000
you could easily end up in a
situation where you just couldn't get anybody.

788
01:02:32,199 --> 01:02:38,199
Now, this can be a freeing
thing for a director as well as for

789
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:43,559
actors. If you have someone who
is in the original film, then the

790
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:49,119
radio costars are going, to some
degree or another, try to match their

791
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:54,400
performances to what was seen on screen. Here, you've essentially got a talented

792
01:02:54,559 --> 01:03:02,000
cast that could make their own performance
choices not necessarily be tethered to what happened

793
01:03:02,039 --> 01:03:07,320
in the screen version. And I
think that there are some key differences that

794
01:03:07,559 --> 01:03:14,360
set this apart from the movie,
and it's still a very good interpretation of

795
01:03:14,599 --> 01:03:19,480
the novel, although it does make
some interesting choices along the way. But

796
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:24,760
in no means is it a bad
adaptation or a bad play or performance.

797
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:30,840
It's just different from the movie.
There were some interesting choices, to be

798
01:03:30,079 --> 01:03:35,960
sure. Some of the most memorable
lines of dialogue in the film were left

799
01:03:36,079 --> 01:03:40,000
out, but somehow we kept the
brief scene where they met the da That

800
01:03:40,199 --> 01:03:46,239
said, I think the cast captured
the spirit of the novel really well and

801
01:03:46,559 --> 01:03:53,960
with their own unique twist on the
material. Laird Kreegar gave an interesting performance,

802
01:03:54,079 --> 01:04:00,320
and I think to his credit,
he didn't do what nearly everyone's sense

803
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:08,519
has done in coming to the Maltese
falcon in trying to invoke Sydney Green Street.

804
01:04:09,079 --> 01:04:14,880
Rather, he did his own performance, made his own effort to take

805
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:20,840
Casper Gottman off the page and bring
him to life. And it was in

806
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:27,440
and of itself a good performance.
And what's really impressive about it is,

807
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:33,840
I honestly don't remember having heard of
mister Kreegar before listening to this, and

808
01:04:34,079 --> 01:04:39,320
I was imagining, you know,
what type of films like, had he

809
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:44,800
had some career, you know,
going back to the decades, And I

810
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:50,400
found out that mister Kreegar was twenty
nine years old when he did this performance,

811
01:04:50,599 --> 01:04:55,119
and I would not have thought that
at all. And so to me,

812
01:04:55,280 --> 01:05:00,480
this comes across as a really confident, in gutsy performance. The same

813
01:05:00,679 --> 01:05:09,159
time, it does highlight how completely
and utterly brilliant Sydney green Street was in

814
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:15,679
the film and how he just absolutely
elevated the film. Either way he played

815
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:21,119
Casper Gottman. Kreegar turned in a
good performance, but it's not going to

816
01:05:21,239 --> 01:05:27,840
make anyone forget Sydney green Street.
And then you have Edward g Robinson,

817
01:05:28,199 --> 01:05:35,199
who very subtillite gives a completely different
take on Sam Spake. The radio version

818
01:05:35,719 --> 01:05:42,880
doesn't meant some key moments that were
in the film, such as when Sam

819
01:05:43,519 --> 01:05:50,039
did the whole like mocking of all
the lines that bridget had fed him,

820
01:05:50,719 --> 01:05:59,679
and the scene where he turns Bridget
in is so much shorter than in the

821
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:06,360
film, and of course you don't
get the famous line about the falcon being

822
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:12,400
the stuff dreams are made of,
And to me, his take on Sam's

823
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:19,079
fade is a lot more cynical than
Bogart's. What comes across is that Sam

824
01:06:19,599 --> 01:06:28,159
was not the least tempted by bridget
O'Shaughnessy as portrayed by Robinson, who remains

825
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:35,079
just this very cool customer throughout the
entire play. With Bogart, you get

826
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:44,760
a sense that he really and truly
was into bridget and was tempted by her

827
01:06:45,639 --> 01:06:50,199
to go against his better judgment.
And the scene where he talks about things

828
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:57,840
how it has a duty if someone
kills his partner to do something, and

829
01:06:58,079 --> 01:07:04,039
that if someone kills it detective,
it's bad for detectives everywhere is him reminding

830
01:07:04,159 --> 01:07:12,639
himself of his duty and to do
what is right instead of what feels good

831
01:07:12,719 --> 01:07:18,079
in the moment, and the line
the stuff dreams are made of really comes

832
01:07:18,159 --> 01:07:27,840
off as this sort of philosophical pause. With Robinson's Sam Spade, it's really

833
01:07:28,039 --> 01:07:32,519
not all that complicated. He is
not going to be a sucker for anyone.

834
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:41,639
He's not going to get himself sent
to the gas chamber because he fell

835
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,440
for a pretty face. And even
the lines that were the same, for

836
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:54,320
example, when he talked about her
coming to him after she's released from prison,

837
01:07:54,599 --> 01:08:00,519
well there's a subtle sense with Bogart
that Sam really means it. All

838
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:08,440
you get from Edward G. Robinson's
Sam is a bit of contempt for her.

839
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:13,480
He has one, he has caught
her, he has turned the tables,

840
01:08:13,679 --> 01:08:16,760
and now he's turning her in and
washing his hands of the whole affair.

841
01:08:17,079 --> 01:08:24,439
The changes are relatively small, but
they really pack a punch and change

842
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:30,079
how you feel at the end of
the production. Now, obviously there's a

843
01:08:30,199 --> 01:08:36,520
case for both performances, and both
men were and in Bogart and Robinson you

844
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:43,399
have two of the greatest actors who
ever lived. So it does come down

845
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,119
to a matter of preference. I'm
someone who is always going to lean towards

846
01:08:47,239 --> 01:08:55,720
the original, but I can appreciate
that Robinson gave a performance that was again

847
01:08:56,159 --> 01:09:00,840
very different from what we got on
screen and on a to be different.

848
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:09,159
So again this was intriguing for just
how different it was while still being so

849
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,960
very similar to what ended up on
screen. And the other thing I did

850
01:09:14,039 --> 01:09:19,279
want to talk about is the commercials. And what's really astonishing at with Locks

851
01:09:20,279 --> 01:09:28,319
is if you listen to the series
enough, you get to see how a

852
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:34,800
company that sells essentially the same product
changes its sales pitch to suit the times,

853
01:09:35,039 --> 01:09:41,279
to suit what consumers are thinking about
at any given moment, because the

854
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:48,079
earliest episodes of the Locks Radio Theater
came during the sluggish sort of recovery from

855
01:09:48,119 --> 01:09:54,600
the Depression, and then of course
you had the World War two era episodes,

856
01:09:55,159 --> 01:09:59,720
and then the post war era and
into the fifties, and it's interesting

857
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:05,680
to see how their sales pitch evolves
over time. So really intriguing even on

858
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:10,960
the commercials. I hope you enjoyed
it. Now it's time to thank our

859

Patreon supporter of the day, and
I want to go ahead and thank Laura.

01:10:56,359 --> 01:11:02,000
celebration of the one hundred tenth birthday
of Bob Bailey with an episode of What

868
01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:06,399
George Do It? Where at the
local newspaper Angel the woman the desk gave

869
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:10,720
me hers. Everybody in this town
sure has an opinion, all right,

870
01:11:11,079 --> 01:11:15,039
the guy killed his wife, simple
as that. Listen. It is now

871
01:11:15,239 --> 01:11:21,479
three days since the strange disappearance of
missus Grip George. She was drawn,

872
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,760
Oh I know. They went swimming
together off the place down Shore Road and

873
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,079
she got a cramp and drawn.
We claimed he tried to rescue were I

874
01:11:29,119 --> 01:11:34,079
don't see what's Oh well, maybe
it is kind of an unusual time of

875
01:11:34,239 --> 01:11:38,199
year for swimming. I'm a day
too. It wasn't day, it was

876
01:11:38,319 --> 01:11:41,760
night. Yeah. Guy in the
barbershop said he saw missus brill once a

877
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:45,039
couple of years ago when they first
moved here. Sort of a drab mousie

878
01:11:45,079 --> 01:11:48,039
brunette. Not exactly the I want
to go swimming it's so beautiful in the

879
01:11:48,119 --> 01:11:53,159
moonlight type. They haven't found her
body yet. That's where Riley is dragging

880
01:11:53,199 --> 01:11:57,880
the bay. There were no witnesses. Caretaker named Nicholson, but he didn't

881
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:00,840
see it. Rills were away traveling
most of the time. They just got

882
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:03,880
back. He's a writer of sorts. The chambermaid's full of gossip too.

883
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:10,119
Mister Brill is behind in his rent, and yet somehow he had enough money

884
01:12:10,199 --> 01:12:14,159
to keep up the premiums on a
big life insurance policy on his drab little

885
01:12:14,199 --> 01:12:18,479
wife life insurance. Lots of nails
in the coffin? Aren't there double indemnity?

886
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:23,239
Does it say that? What?
Oh excuse me, well, I

887
01:12:23,239 --> 01:12:27,760
happen to know what you're talking about. Who doesn't he had her insured double

888
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,560
double indemnity. Oh yes, it's
fifty thousand in case of an accident like

889
01:12:32,359 --> 01:12:35,640
drowning. But we must say something. You want a paper friend, go

890
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:41,479
ahead takes of course, Of course, I wanted makes good reading. Doesn't

891
01:12:42,399 --> 01:12:45,920
more excitement than this little old town
has ever had. Sympathizes with a husband.

892
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,600
What a rope around is? W'll
stop it? All of you be

893
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:54,960
quiet. Wow, we're running a
forum. I think it's simply horrible.

894
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,159
All this talk. The man's wife
died, that's all strategic. It's none

895
01:12:59,159 --> 01:13:01,159
of your business, you know her, lady. Nobody in town really did

896
01:13:01,279 --> 01:13:08,439
or him either. But I think
thanks for the newspaper, mister. I

897
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:12,920
guess he didn't care for your opinion. Lady. That man was marking grill.

898
01:13:13,319 --> 01:13:15,399
I hope you'll be with us then. In the meantime, do send
