"FINGER OF GUILT" "Subtitles by Seglora" "Look up here,please" "When did these letters start coming?" "About two months ago" "Now let your eyes follow the light" "Nothing until then you never heard of this girl?" "No,as far as I can remember" "I'm going to move the light towards you" "Tell me when it goes out of focus" "Now" "You saw two lights?" "Yes" "Wasn't I supposed to?" "Perfectly normal reaction, you can get dressed now" "We'll have to wait for the lab report but I don't say there is not very much wrong with you physically" "You mean there is something wong with me mentally?" "I didn't say that." "You are tired and run down" "That seems to be an occupational disease with you film people" "I don't think it is so simple like that" "I suppose you tell me the rest of it" "First I,I want to ask you a question,doctor" "And I want a straight answer" "Is it possible for a person to have,well,like two selves one of them not knowing what the other self does?" "Dual personality?" "Oh,yes it is medical fact but rather rare" "And hardly likely in your case if that what you are driving at" "I am not so sure" "Let's start a little further back" "How long have you been in this country?" "Three years" "And before that you were in Hollywood?" "I was a cutter there,a film manager" "How did you come to England?" "That was a little trouble, scandal I suppose you call it" "Married woman?" "Is that so unusual in your business?" "And in this case it happened to be my boss's wife" "I see" "Close to went to New York, I thought of going into theatre but out of pictures I was like a duck out of water" "So I decided to try my luck over here" "Big Ben,that's my father in law, Mr Case" "Gave me a job editing at Commonwealth Pict." "From film editor to an executive?" "Isn't that quite a jump?" "I always wanted to produce and about a year ago,Ben let me try my hand at it" "It was an ordinary run of the mail picture that" "I cut the story as tight as a drum" "The studio had a bad run of pictures, I brought them a winner" "That's when Ben gave me my big chance, the chance I'd thrown away in America" "Up to then Commonwealth had pretty much a one man studio" "Big Ben was getting on and wanted someone else to carry the ball" "At least that what I thought at the time" "Right after I got my new job I married Leslie,the boss's daughter" "I suppose you think I did that for the usual reasons like other people did,maybe even Ben,I don't know" "But it wasn't true,doctor" "I loved Leslie,I loved Leslie" "(DrGray)Try to keep relaxed,Mr Wilson" "Not that I hadn't used people in the past friends I cultivated,even the girls I made love to" "Only give half your heart and keep your eye on the main chance" "That's the law of the jungle, we call the picture business" "But I found that,there was another way of living,another reason for love" "Now it is too late" "The year after I married Leslie was just about perfect" "Until those letters started coming" "Mail for Mr Wilson" "Thank you,Danny" ""il n'y a pas de quoi"" "Brushing up on my French, going over the Bank Holiday" "I'm not certain if that accent should be exported" "These Americans,they make decisions like that" "Has a big project coming on?" "Yes,getting bigger every day,another year in the studio won't know itself" "Every time Steve comes in, the budget on the clips goes up another 10000 quid" "Ben wants to know the latest figures" "There is the revised sheet but tell Ben it is only an estimate" "Sidney Marsh called,he wants to go over with Miss Wallace's costumes with you" "About Miss Wallace's costumes?" "Let's have them now" "Tell him leave the sketches and I'll look over them at lunch" "All right,how many days we take on the "Native",production wants to know" "Three,btw better camp there near the Queens" "Retakes coming up, and then we will be able to make it by Friday" "What about Mrs Wilson?" "Thank heavens I'm married to the one woman in the world who understands" "Yes Miss Tyson" "Hello,come in" "It's Miss Wallace" "Kay is here?" "Fine" "For God's sake,swell" "Hold it till I get rid of my flowers" "Same old Kay" "You know,how you look great,just good" "No,no" "Tell me about the sight seeing" "My feet hurt" "Have a chair,Miss Wallace" "George Mearns,he interprets native customs for me" "Is he good student,George?" "He learns fast,Miss Wallace" "Thanks for the car,you arranged that didn't you?" "(George)Mr Wilson thinks of everything" "Honey,the car,the chauffeur are yours for as long as you are here" "Now,let's hear about that trip" "I'm afraid it will sound like a weather report" "I went to Edinburgh,it rained." "I went to Newcastle,it rained" "Newcastle?" "Why?" "Cousin on my mother's side" "Then,Bristol,that was the cloudburst, then back to London looks as if the game is still cold, does it ever stop?" "Never" "I must say you landed on your feet" "Yeah" "Not bad is it?" "They didn't know they were kicking me upstairs" "This time,don't throw it away,in Hollywood you are still on the bad boy's list" "Yeah,how did you know?" "I made some inquiries before I left if you fumble this one I'm afraid it is the fade out Reggie Wilson" "Don't worry,I'm crazy about another year" "You always knew what you wanted" "So did you" "But I didn't always get it" "How did we get on that subject" "Tell me about your personal life." "So far there has been no mention of it" "Nothing never works" "I know you are married,of course, it was in the trades" "That's right" "Come on,Reggie,give,are you really married?" "What do you mean?" "You know what I mean" "Up to about here" "That's the head.How about the heart?" "All the way this time" "Not that it didn't happen before, at least once" "That's what you call letting a girl to keep her pride but you can't make that sort of thing retroactive" "Kay,I was young and I was a jerk" "I congratulate your wife" "Thanks" "Btw don't forget you are coming to dinner tonight you and Leslie are going to be real,real great friends" "Reggie,if one of your writers put that line in the script,you would throw him out of the studio" "They said they would want me for some stills" "Btw I haven't asked you,what do you think of the script,honey?" "If I didn't like it,I wouldn't be here,would I?" "George,you take Miss Wallace down the stairs" "I'd be delighted" "I hope you believe this but you are not just a star who has come here to do a film,you are a friend and it means a lot to me having you here almost like old times" "Almost" "This way Miss Wallace" "I'm going to go to the meal now, Miss Tyson,give me ten minutes,no calls" "Shall I heat your coffee?" "That's all right" "Miss Tyson I thought I told you to hold the" "Of course put her on" "Darling" "I was going to call you" "What's you been doing?" "Fine,fine,yeah,I wish I were with you" "I got some bad news, darling,repeats coming up" "I'm afraid we have to postpone our trip until after "Eclipse"" "Never mind we'll get there, those tropic nights,full moons palm trees rustling in the breeze and this is the last postponement I swear to you on my.." "My other" "It have to be I guess" "Don't worry about it,darling,we waited this long,we can.." "Reggie?" "Are you still there?" "Reggie,are you all right?" "All right,there is somebody that's came in" "Look,Leslie,I'll try to get home early tonight we'll make some new plans,how about it?" "That's my girl,bye darling" "Reggie" "Do you have a few minute,Ben, I want to see you,it's a personal matter" "Always have time to you" "I'll be right over" "Come in" "Sorry to break in,Ben,hello Ernie" "Joe's going over some figures, nothing that can't wait till tomorrow" "Well boy,what's on your mind?" "Read that" "She wants money" "I suppose so" "How much?" "She never mention it" "She will.How many of these have you had?" "Four or five but nothing as urgent as that one" "The next question is personal and you don't have to answer it unless you want to" "I want to,Ben,it's a complete fabrication" "As far as I know,I never even saw the girl" "What about putting the police on it?" "No,in your position,you certainly get bad publicity and drag Leslie's name into it" "A particular girl that court she's got got to be able to prove something" "Keep away from the courts in this sort of things,jury always believe the woman" "What am I going to do?" "My advice is, for the time being,do nothing" "If you are quite certain you.." "Of course I'm certain" "In that case you maybe just a movie struck girl,a crank,it'll blow over" "But a funny thing abut these letters they seem to be written by someone who actually believe what she writes" "Which probably means she is cleverer than most of her sort" "Another reason for not coming to grips with her" "I suppose you're right" "One more thing,have you told Leslie?" "No.Should I?" "I would in case she hears it some other way" "I'll tell her tonight" "Thanks,Ben" "I always feel better after talking something up with you" "Why don't you do it more often, that is what I'm here for" "Ben,if I don't come here as often I'd like because I'm going like a crazy racehorse all day" "Don't run your legs off in the first furlong my boy,save something for the stretch" "Thanks for everything" "Btw,Reggie,Ernest has being going over those new figures on the clips with me" "Yeah" "We think they are getting a little out of line" "Out of line with what?" "With what we can hope to get back" "Now look,Ben" "This is a big picture, with Kay Wallace name to carry it we're going to make a real depth in the world market" "I hope you're right.Just cut a few corners in case" "Ben,you never really liked the clips,did you?" "Not for 400000 pounds worth" "I mean the sight and match" "Perhaps it's not my kind of picture,to be quite honest" "No,the story is good,if it's kind, and as you say,it's big and showy" "Showy,yes,that's what's wrong with it from my point of view" "These studios made a lot of real gems in its time but you know as well as I do, that the little picture is finished" "Perhaps I shouldn't have outlived it" "All right,tomorrow I start chipping away at the budget" "OK?" "Fine" "Don't forget the night,Ben,Leslie and I are expecting you" "But why cut it Reggie?" "It's one of the best scene in the picture" "Ah,ha,but one of the most expensive" "Ernie,what's you down for on the budget?" "10000 £." "Not counting music and dubbing" "Money" "Don't be.After all,you wrote it" "I feel it's a good scene for Miss Wallace, it builds up sympathy for her" "Look,Dave,I can tell you that the scene doesn't come off that it's badly written" "The plain on Barney's troup is that it cost too much and over the budget" "We are spending 400000 quid so what's another ten?" "You say that every time,Steve, but the tens add up" "Look,I'm sticking my neck out on the clips as it is the old man doesn't like the picture, he's afraid we won't get our money back" "If you ask me,Big Ben is becoming nothing but an alarm clock" "It's a nasty and ungrateful thing to say,you ought to be ashamed" "I only meant Ben could be wrong and like Reggie I got my heart set on this picture" "He's been right a lot of times in the past.He built this studio,didn't he?" "Everyone seems to forget that" "I'm not forgetting it,Ernie" "And I don't need you to remind me" "Don't need me at all.You'll do what you want anyway" "He forgot his briefcase" "Our friend Ernest has been making time with the starlets" "But I've never seen him with the girl better he should have a wife than being married to the studio" "Ah,look fellows,let's get back to these cuts" "Sorry,you are wanted on phone" "Can it wait?" "It's long distance" "OK" "Would you like to take it in my office?" "I'll be right back,you fellows kicking around" "It's the girl" "What girl?" "Evelyn Stewart" "You'd better take it down on the other phone" "Yes" "It's Reginald Wilson" "But a second,Miss Stewart,you're mistaken" "You must have the wrong person, because you see I,I don't know you" "I tell you I don't know you and stop sending me those letters or I have the police on you" "Are you listening?" "Wait" "Wait" "And she said if she didn't hear from me by Saturday she'd do something desperate" "Did you bring up the question of money?" "I'd never had the chance" "If that's what she is after, she's taking her time" "Ben she talks just the way she writes, I swear she believes what she says" "Maybe she's crazy" "I don't know that sort of woman,too crazy enough to want money" "Then I wish she'd come out with it, at least I'd know where I stand" "Now I feel as though I am out in the open with somebody who is ready to take a pot-shot at me" "I don't know who or where or the hour" "Reggie,why don't you go out and see her?" "No,that wouldn't be wise,then she would have something on him" "Just sit tight and wait it over" "Got enough on my mind without this" "That's what you wanted isn't it?" "What?" "Responsibility,running the show, you can't have that without paying a price" "Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it" "Look,give me the kind of life you want it don't try to fool yourself if you want something else" "Here,have some tea,you'll feel better" "You're right" "No, talking with you is just like talking with my real father" "Lemon or milk?" "Just that way,please" "No,actually,Ben,no matter how this crazy business grinds you down" "I wouldn't trade it for anything else" "The way you feel certain moments the people on the outside just wouldn't understand like when you're sitting in a projection room watching the first rough cut of a film you've just sweated blood over" "You say to yourself,this one I like" "I get my pleasure a little later when the audience say they like it" "You know I feel I am the audience by laugh they'll laugh by cry they'll cry" "I thought that way once too but when you get a little older and you made a few bad guesses if you are crying they probably laugh" "I hope I turn out to be one of your good guesses,Ben" "Reggie I never asked you about that Hollywood business" "It was somebody's wife wasn't it?" "Yeah" "Where is she now?" "Still there I suppose,why?" "Did you tell Leslie about those letters?" "Yes,the same night" "How did she take it?" "Oh,just as we figured,wonderful, just dismissed it" "Well,then you've nothing to worry about" "Her mother was like that too" "You still miss her,don't you,Ben?" "I miss a lot of things, in that is the cure of musings" "Oh,Mr Wilson,I'm sorry to interrupt but Miss Wallace is trying to get through to you something about her wardrobe" "Don't tell me she is driving about that again" "All right,I'll go down.Where is she?" "In her dressing room,stage 7" "Thanks,Ben,maybe I ought to be real English and come and have tea with you every day" "Whenever you wish" "Wilson,they can't get here by this evening" "Not now,I'm busy" "She is impossible,Reggie, nothing I ever do is right this is the third dress she is throwing back at me" "What's the thing for?" "Dino d'Ellsmere you remember you approved the design yourself, the shocking pink net with the flame" "You just hold it,I'll talk to her" "Who is it?" "Me,Reginald" "Oh,come in" "If it was old mother Goose coming back,did he weep on your shoulder?" "What's wrong with the dress,Kay?" "It's looks like a piece of bunting left over from the coronation,that's what's wrong" "I selected those designs myself" "Now,don't you start" "Seems to me,we've had a lot of complaints lately" "You don't like this,you don't like that" "Since you brought the subject up yourself, I'll tell you something else I don't like" "I don't like what you are doing to the script" "I've just reading the blue pages, you are cutting the heart out of it" "The heart being a couple of your scenes" "Well,if you cut me more it will solve the problem what I am to wear" "Let's get out of the nonsense,Kay, and get down to business" "The big producer act" "They start rolling in two weeks, I want those wardrobe test tomorrow" "When did you decide that?" "The conference this morning" "I'm sorry you are a little late,I'm afraid you have to wait to Monday" "I promised my cousin to go back to Newcastle for the weekend" "Newcastle?" "You've heard of the place,I take it" "You bet your life I've heard of it" "Is this your idea of joke,Kay,or maybe joke is too pretty word for it?" "What are you talking about?" "You know very well what I am talking about those letters with all my heart and the telephone call this morning" "Did you fix this up with your cousin, is her name Evelyn by any chance?" "Are you out of your mind by any chance?" "That's the question I would ask myself if I were you" "Sure I let you down once a couple of years ago but is that any reason to stoop to a low sneaking trick like this just to get revenge" "Will you shut up and listen to me" "I don't know anything about any letter and I've not the faintest idea who Evelyn is but I do know you and whoever she is or whatever she is doing" "I'll bet you have given her plenty of reasons" "Reasons?" "I don't never know the girl never saw her in my life" "Come in" "Sorry Mr Wilson, Miss Wallace,we are ready for a take and your voices are.." "We'll be quiet" "Sorry to disturb" "Is your lighter out of fuel?" "I'm sorry" "I've no right to accuse you,Kay" "I shouldn't have done it,it's just that everything gone wrong today" "I never seem to bring up the best in you yet you had to lure me over here to get the precious picture done" "That was a kind of a fraud,Reggie, you were trading on an old affection" "You knew you could get me if I thought there were any chance that" "I was fool enough to swallow the bait" "I said I was sorry,Kay, can't we leave the past alone?" "I'd like to,believe me" "I'd like to go home if I couldn't be sued the Kingdom come of breaking my contract" "Please go now I want to study the script" "I, I put those scenes back, if you want me to" "I don't care what you do,just go" "And it isn't any of my business but you got a fine wife" "I'd stop playing around with any Evelyns if I were you even if you can't remember their names afterward" "I'm not playing around,Kay,I don't suppose I could ever make you believe that" "I'm afraid Wallace cancelled after you sell her for" "At least we are alone for once" "It's funny,so we around some desert island" "I assure you it will be a real one" "Bermuda" "Yes" "Why not going down right after the clips,what about November?" "November?" "Tropic nights,full moon,palm trees rustling in the breeze" "Sounded good in the travel folder" "Kept chilled my soup" "Kay is a monstrosity anyway" "It's not so bad" "You are just in the mood" "No,I'm not Ernie" "Well,should be a monstrosity that awful little man is always around father,his wedding gift to us" "Ernie?" "He's not a bad sort once you get to know him" "Specially if you don't call him Ernie" "What's up,darling?" "Maybe we just shy ,wheel along" "I'm a bit foggy tonight aren't I?" "It is nothing important I'll tell you after dinner" "How is the retakes coming?" "Not now,please" "One of that Evelyn woman letters came to me today" "Where is it Leslie?" "Let's forget it until after dinner" "Look,don't worry about spoiling my appetite,I haven't got one" "You haven't had it for a week" "I think our honey moon is overdue, that is if you still intend to take it" "What is this letter got to do with our honey moon?" "I didn't say that it had anything to do with it" "It's you who is making the connection" "Once you are giving back to me where you really belongs,of all the crazy" "But she gets this up away,she doesn't even know we are married" "She has a good follow up, if you read a little further she goes on to say you married me for the sake of your career" "I could kill her" "I really could" "She says I'm trying to forgive you" "She is even name places we've been together" "And dates" "You do believe there is something in it?" "Don't you?" "I looked up some of the dates, Reggie,I couldn't help myself" "All of them where exactly the same dates you were away from here on business" "You never let me come to the plane with you on any of your trips" "I have to think of that" "I couldn't keep it back,could I?" "Maybe you never took those flights,maybe all the time.." "Leslie,you do not know what you say" "I was only trying to spare you of the tedious way" "Spare me?" "Reggie,what were you trying to spare me?" "How many things have you tried to spare me?" "This is open flood gates" "Now I want to know why you left Hollywood" "I never cared before" "It was a woman involved in that,wasn't it?" "That's the past" "Father warned me that your sort of past wouldn't stay in the past" "Ben said that?" "I shouldn't have told you" "He was fond of you,Reggie but yes, he was against my marrying you" "At least until they saw I was set on it" "Look,Leslie" "You got to trust me" "I've done some rotten things in my life maybe but these letters are from someone I don't know" "You would tell me" "I swear" "I try to understand" "It's not good enough,I want your trust" "I'm going to Newcastle" "I'm going to find that woman, if it's the last thing I ever do" "Will you come with me?" "It isn't necessary" "I love you,Reggie" "I trust you" "No.Unless we go together" "There always be a doubt" "I don't want that" "Not with you" "What are we doing here in Newcastle?" "I can't even remember what last night was all about" "I was a fool,please,darling, let's forget about Evelyn Stewart" "No,you don't" "This could be our honey moon trip I long to show you the moors" "We've always been too busy and a bird in the hand is worth two.." "I mean" "But there is a bird in this bush, and we are going to pursue it,so watch" "Come on" "Is there a Miss Evelyn Stewart live here?" "She has a room in my house" "We would like to see her, do you tell us which room?" "Straight ahead down the hall" "But she went out for a few minutes" "Couldn't we come back later,Reggie?" "She is only after cigarettes" "Come in.I'll take you to her room" "Thank you,if you would" "She would be pleased to see you it's must be lonely for her here the only American girl" "American?" "You're in the same business" "What business is that?" "You've not seen her for a long time?" "No" "She is an actress on the telly" "But she is here in Reportary to get experience" "This old place has seen lots of their ups and downs" "They have to keep up appearances,poor girls which isn't easy on the money they get" "Mean she hasn't been doing very well?" "She's a pretty girl,pretty girls get along" "Have a chair Mrs" "Wilson" "I'm Mrs Lynton,the landlady" "I try to make a good home for the girls" "Miss Stewart lived here long?" "Three months" "Did she ever happen to mention us?" "No.But she is not like the others, they tell me everything,not her" "Sometimes I take telephone message,that's all" "Do you ever my calling her on the phone,Reginald Wilson?" "No" "I'm sorry Mr Wilson,you're an American,aren't you?" "I would have remembered your accent" "That's all right,wait Mrs Lynton" "Would you look at me,please?" "Carefully" "Yes?" "Do you ever remember my being here?" "Are you from the police?" "No,no" "Why do you ask me?" "Please,I have a very good reason for asking" "Tell me the truth" "Have you ever seen me before?" "No,I can't remember" "Thank you,Mrs Lynton" "Reggie,I'm not a judge" "This is awful,you don't have to collect witnesses to build up your case" "That's what we came here for" "I'm sorry we did,let's leave,couldn't we?" "You,we should have left it with the police" "Look here,darling,I know this sort of thing is not very pleasant but we are in it" "Let's get rid of this ghost once and for all" "She may not come for hours" "You heard Mrs Lynton,she said she would be right back" "In the mean time let's see what we could pick up" "All right" "She is an actress,all right, photographs all over the place" "I wonder which one is hers" "Landlady said she is pretty" "All of my movies are pretty,darling" "Not sure that's a good joke" "Here is her desk" "There is where she probably sits to write those heartbroken letters" "I wonder if there is any sign" "Found anything interesting?" "No,no.Nothing yet.Just some old bills and things" "Really,Reggie,you might tell me that you were coming especially if you're bringing your wife" "Now look here Miss Stewart" "Miss Stewart?" "Really,Reggie, who do you think you're fooling" "Who I am fooling?" "But at least this time you knew who I was over the phone while you pretended like you never heard of me" "I hadn't.I've never seen you in my whole life and you know it" "You can say that after.." "I'm sorry,Mrs Wilson,I don't know why he dragged you here" "I don't want your sympathy" "You're his wife,and I understand how you must fell but I have some rights too" "What are your rights?" "Not that way,Reggie,it's no use" "What's your game?" "What do you want?" "What I want?" "You know very well what I want, Reggie,and it wasn't very much" "He never said he'd marry me,Mrs Wilson, I never fitted into his career that way" "But I was content with just friendship that much he promised me" "But now" "Now I don't know what he is trying to do" "You lie,every word you say is a lie" "You don't believe her,Leslie?" "Reggie I want to go" "Don't you see,Reggie,you are only making it worse for all of us" "Tell her the truth so we can settle this" "Settle?" "At last it's out.What's your price?" "Because within reason I'll pay anything to get rid of you" "Buy me off?" "You.." "All right,Reggie,you win" "I won't bother you again" "Leslie" "Don't run out of me now" "Got to give you one more chance, if you tell the truth or I call the police" "Your picture?" "Reggie you've taken the only one I have" "Picture?" "You know very well it was here,right here" "Will you listen to me" "Since I'd been left with one single thing" "Leslie,I swear" "Oh,Reggie" "I don't care what you do" "Reggie,why have you done this?" "This is Miss Stewart,Sergeant" "Sit down,Miss Stewart" "You are not under arrest or not charged with anything you are only called here to answer some questions,is that clear?" "Yes" "While you are not compelled to answer and you are entitled to take advise of counsel" "I suggest it is to your interest as well as Mr Wilson to clear this matter up" "I have nothing to conceal,Sergeant" "In that case we'll proceed" "Full name?" "Evelyn Stewart" "Birthplace?" "Elmyre,that is a city in New York state" "How old is you,Miss Stewart?" "26" "Your profession is an actress?" "That's right" "You're employed here in Newcastle?" "I've been with the Reportary company since April" "I think I remember seen your name on playbill" "Miss Stewart,why are you sending these letters to Mr Wilson?" "He showed them to you?" "Yes three or four of them" "Sergeant" "If you are in love with a person is it strange writing letters?" "It's strange to be in love with a person you don't know" "He told you that?" "He's told you that hasn't he?" "Yes,yes ever since.." "Since what?" "Since a few weeks ago when I guess he wanted to break it off" "I could hardly break off that was never on" "Where did we ever meet before today?" "Just name one place" "You ask me that?" "Miss Stewart,suppose you tell your version of it from the beginning?" "Beginning?" "Any background you think has bearing" "But I ought to warn you we'll check on these facts whenever we can" "So I advise you to make them accurate" "I started acting in my home town but to make a career of it you have to get on Broadway or go to Hollywood" "I went to New York that was three years ago" "I've no idea whether you know how hard it is to get start in the theatre but.." "They won't give you a part until you've had professional experience" "You can't get experience until they given you parts" "So you go around in circles,either you break the circle or it breaks you" "Then you go back home,well,I stuck it out" "I was lonely and discouraged, that was the way I met Reginald" "Sergeant" "Just ours,Mr Wilson" "When do you claim you met Mr Wilson?" "About three years ago in New York" "He had some trouble in Hollywood and had just" "Is that true Mr Wilson?" "About the trouble,yes" "And you were in New York at the time?" "Yes,that was just about the time I came to England" "Go on,Miss Stewart" "We were both down in our love but it was so wonderful to be in love so I didn't mind" "but Reggie was unhappy being out of pictures so he decided to go to London" "By this time I had a small part on Broadway,so I was to follow soon after" "Before it folded" "I was picked for the lead in a television series they were producing in London" "Of course I jumped at the chance" "You could check on all these things btw" "The company was United Films and we made thirteen at Nettleford" "And you saw Mr Wilson when you came over?" "Not as often I'd expected" "Where did you see me?" "Who saw us together?" "Did you ever come to my office?" "Why do you keep asking me that ,Reggie when you told me not to under the circumstances" "What circumstances?" "By the time I arrived he was married to an English girl,Sergeant" "Our meetings I'm afraid were what you call,clandestine" "What about that Mr Wilson?" "It's true that I married an English girl,nothing else" "I never saw you in New York,here or any place else,never in my life,never" "Sergeant,call up the landlady and ask her if I've ever been that before ever been in the house before tonight" "That's true,Sergeant" "He had his wife to think of and his position at the studio" "Maybe he was getting frightened all I know is I didn't hear from him for three weeks" "Why else would I write those letters?" "Miss Stewart would you wait in the next room with Constable Burton for a few minutes?" "Reggie" "I know how mixed up you are and I'm sorry" "Please try to believe that" "Well,Mr Wilson,what do you think?" "Want to press charges?" "I don't know" "If you had any doubt in your mind I'd advise against it" "She could make trouble for you, also rest of all that" "She can't prove that I ever had anything to do with her" "But can you prove that you didn't?" "Beside there is a question whether writing these letters is a crime" "Unless you can prove a motive,like extortion" "But you said she didn't ever try to get money?" "All right,we'll forget about the charges" "I think you're wise" "In the meantime we'll investigate her here and let you know at the studio anything we find out" "Thank you" "Sergeant" "I'd like you to ask a question and you'll be frank with me" "You" "You believed her story,didn't you?" "Since you ask me,I admit,I don't really know what to believe" "It will surprise you,if I admitted at this moment,I had it on myself" "Oh,Mrs Lynton is Miss Stewart in?" "You're the lady who was here with her husband this morning?" "Yes" "Miss Stewart went out about two hours ago" "You don't know where?" "Well she did a telephone made then seemed in a hurry" "But she didn't tell me where she was going" "My husband wasn't with her" "God Gracious,no" "He left soon after you did" "I've been waiting for him at the railway station and he didn't come and I thought perhaps Miss Stewart might know where he is" "You could try the Pub" "Let me see" "Half past five.She is usually at the Bell  Crown for a nip around this time" "You could have a look there" "The Bell  Crown?" "Down the bottom of the road, round the corner and follow your nose" "Thank you,Mrs Lynton" "Why don't you watch out!" "You ignore me?" "Don't tell me you're sorry for me" "This is my pub" "I think we both need a drink" "Two Irish whiskies,Johnny,please" "OK,Miss Stewart" "Must belong with Mirror's" "Cigarette?" "Or have you changed your brand?" "Thank you" "I'll keep the bottle,you keep the change" "Thank you,Sir" "Seagram" "This much?" "Whiskey rest water" "Right?" "Why ask me?" "As they say here,cheers" "Nah,the big spectacle, you never watered your drinks?" "I haven't hated anyone as I hate you" "Careful ,Reggie,that's the kind of thing a man says to a girl when he is about to make a pass at her" "Don't worry you are safe" "Now I wonder if you are with broken hearts strewn from here to Hollywood and back" "Your seems to be in a pretty good condition" "I've grown some extra layers of skin over it" "We've a lot more in common than you think" "That doesn't sound quite like the heart broken girl in those letters" "I have my moods" "Right now I feel all warm and happy" "Maybe it's the drinks and not me" "Besides you're looking a little less green yourself" "Evelyn,I've never seen anything like you" "I've seen lots of actresses" "Reggie,you're not still going to pretend this is an act?" "Oh,I didn't look it a two away" "Where will be able to get together,not just the city but I will take you to theatre, a ball game what will we do in New York?" "Have you really forgotten?" "Some day I'll let you read my diary, so you can refresh your memory" "Now will you pour me another drink before you finish the bottle?" "I wasn't baiting you" "I really wanted to know" "Reggie,can't we forget the past?" "At least,we are now and together" "That's there we will be alone,lately it's been coming up much more sites" "Even my wife's gone" "When I left you, and went down the street,she'd driven away" "God knows where" "I'm sorry" "Don't expect you to believe that" "I think I'd better go" "I'll take you home" "No thank you,it's just around the corner" "I know it is" "I'll take you home" "Now this street reminds me of the picture we did once" "A story about a dame, who is blackmailing the guy" "Get putting the screws on him" "I hate women that blackmail" "Yeah,you will be happy to know that this one came to a bad ending" "Did she?" "Yeah,one night she led a bit too far, this guy,he upped and killed her" "Strangled her to death" "Is this your.." "letter box,Evelyn?" "Don't you recognize it?" "No,one of these days,they are going to put one of those blue and white quacks on" "This is where" "Come on,Reggie,it's nine o'clock rehearsal call" "What do you want to rehearse for?" "You're perfect" "Better perfect" "I don't think that's very funny" "You don't,aha" "God night,Reggie" "You are not going to leave me now?" "After all I meant to you" "There is a ten o'clock train, you can still catch it,if you mind" "I don't want to catch it" "It's not going to be so easy,all that" "Get me to come all the way out here and you think I turn around" "Good night, Reggie,been fun" "Fun?" "That's what you call it" "I haven't had fun enough" "Not nearly enough" "I want to see yesterday's rushes as soon as they come through" "Lyndsay is waiting for you" "Yes,we'll decide then" "Miss Cedric call for a production meeting here for three this afternoon" "Yes, Mr Case" "Mr Wilson has been waiting some time to see you" "Very well,have him come in" "You may come in now,Mr Wilson" "Ben,George said you had some news from Leslie" "I have.She's gone" "You mean your home?" "In that case I just swung you.." "Reggie,you can't see her now if you have a message for her I'll take it home this evening" "Are you trying to tell me that I can't see my own wife?" "No,wife came home at four this morning after driving all night" "She was in a horrible state, I gave her a couple of sleeping pills and send her straight to bed." "She is probably still sleep" "I can explain that, Ben,I.." "Perhaps you can tell me how you happened to be in the company of Evelyn Stewart last night?" "How do you know that?" "Leslie went back to try and find you she thought she had acted too hastily she saw you and the Stewart girl going into a pub" "Yes" "Steve" "No,I can't see her today" "Yes,it's definitely off" "I can't go into the reasons now" "You were about to explain" "What's the use" "The explanation will have to be very convincing" "Ben, I got to see Leslie" "The whole thing is crazy but at least I can try to make her understand" "Look at it from her point of view" "Your past record is far from reassuring then those letters and your long pretence that you didn't even know the girl" "I didn't.That hasn't changed" "She obviously knew you" "She had your signed photograph and on top of that your assignation with the girl" "Stop,Ben" "I know how awful it sounds" "How can you expect Leslie to believe anything you say?" "You mean that we are washed up?" "Leslie and I" "That isn't for me to decide" "If you want my advice, you should go away for a while sort things out in your own mind and then come back and face whatever has to be faced" "But I can't do that,Ben,with the clips coming up I got to be on deck ship" "Anything gone wrong with the clips?" "I wanted to spare you this, at least at the moment we are not doing the picture" "What?" "I've taken it off schedule" "But you can't do that not until.." "I'm still head of the studio even if my authority has been somewhat nominal but I can't approve this high budget for a picture I don't believe in" "But you did approve,we've been all over that" "That was when you were taking personal responsibility" "In your present state" "I can't advise the board of directors to let you continue that responsibility" "Have a dig at this straight" "You went to the directors and persuaded them to fire me" "Is that right?" "Not quite,I suggested a leave of absence until we think you are in shape to resume your duties" "In the mean time I take over for you" "I'd warn you,Ben,I'm going to the board and put up a fight" "I'm afraid the odds are somewhat against you" "Not all together the studio is committed to Kay Wallace, Kay could sue us blind on the contract" "Miss Wallace and I came to an understanding this morning it seems that she is as anxious to get rid of her commitment as we are" "You've thought of everything" "Haven't you?" "Oh,won't it be nice to get back to California,and all that sunshine" "And those yellow oranges growing back on the trees" "Mary,stop talking like a chamber of commerce" "Aren't you just a little homesick,Miss Wallace?" "Homesick?" "Not sure I know what home is" "Wherever I'm making a picture I guess" "Come in!" "You look as you've been doubling for ghost" "I've got to talk to you" "I'll go out,Mr Wilson,time enough leave to pack these" "Thanks,Mary" "Kay,you can't walk out on Eclipse" "After my conversation with Ben" "I was under the impression that Eclipse were walking out on me" "I can pause and put it back on schedule if you stand by me" "Reggie,no good ever came of forcing people do a picture they don't want to do,you know that" "Besides I've personal reasons for wanting to call it quit" "After all it sounds if it was the last picture in the world" "It might be for me" "Have you forgotten?" "All right" "You want a shoulder to weep on" "Well,go ahead" "Ben is easing me out of my job" "That's not the worst of it" "Leslie is left me,she is home with her father" "When did all this happen?" "Yesterday,we went out to see Evelyn Stewart and she stuck to her story that I was her lover" "And Leslie believed her?" "Even the police believed it" "I had her questioned but she had answers for everything" "Then I did a fool thing" "After we left the police I went into a pub with her" "And Leslie saw us" "I know that doesn't make any sense but I was in the mood to find out just how far she'd go,and she was fascinating,I will say that for her" "We had a couple of drinks and I.." "Well,what's the use,let's skip the rest" "I think I can fill in the details" "Kay,how can my life fall apart like this over something that I haven't done" "Have I done something that I can't even remember?" "Sometimes it's the things we haven't done that pay us back for the things we have" "There is one thing I can say since I've been married I haven't even looked at another girl" "Except Evelyn Stewart" "Reggie,is it possible that you could have known this girl before you met Leslie?" "I'd remember her" "I have known cases where there been a quite a few amours and one got lost in the shuffle" "I swear I never even saw this girl until yesterday" "Unless" "Kay,you suppose that could be something wrong with me,with my mind something" "Now don't make it worse than it is" "That's the only explanation that makes any sense" "See I'm crazy" "Everybody else" "Reggie,now stop it,stop it and listen to me" "You're fade out and you are in no condition to think clearly about anything" "Now look,I got the a name of a very good doctor" "You're going to see him" "Just as soon as I can" "Then she calls you and made this appointment but first I didn't want to come but then I thought" "Well,what could you lose?" "That's right" "And that's all?" "It's just one thing more" "I usually keep an extra suit at the office in case I had to make a hurried trip some place like Paris and New York" "Yesterday I found these in the pocket of that suit" "Newcastle?" "I've checked them" "It's a space on the Flying Scotsman" "Space you never used" "Unless I used the space and then I forgot about it" "Doctor,you got to help me, if I'm not crazy now,I soon will be" "Mr Wilson,I'm a medical doctor and this is really not my field" "But I'm going to have a neurologist, whom I know, to have a look at you" "Don't be too alarmed about your mental condition" "I believe in checking all possibilities" "Drink this it'll quiet your nerve" "What am I got to do?" "I can't work,I can't.." "I think your father in law gave you an excellent advice" "After the check up we'll send you away for a while" "Get your mind on something else" "Time has a way of solving nine tenth of our problems" "What about Leslie?" "I had a word with your wife" "They given me leave" "A month be all right?" "Not long enough,my advice is four to six months" "I can't" "You don't know this industry if I left for that long I couldn't be sure of my job" "What else have I got left?" "Your life" "Just came for you" "Flowers?" "Couldn't it come on a more appropriate time?" "Until it all blow over" "Sure,in thousand years and we are all dead" "Mr Wilson,are you feeling all right?" "I'm all right" "I'll send anything you forget, don't worry about anything" "She forgives me" "Yes,Mr Wilson?" "Is Ben there,Miss Cedric?" "No,he is on one of the stages looking over the set" "Can I give him any message,Mr Wilson?" "No,I just wanted to say good bye" "He'll be sorry to have missed you" "Yes" "Everybody is sorry" "Sorry Miss Stewart,I'm just behalf of going over changes in this set" "I've got a unit moving in here tomorrow" "Well I have to go back tonight Mr Case it's about something important to both of us" "Then put it in a letter and send it to me you seem to be pretty familiar with our postal service" "Very funny.So that's the way you're going to play it" "Innocent" "Young lady have you come here to threaten me?" "Well I had hope we could have a frank talk but it seems that I got to spell everything out" "I'm certainly not going to write it in a letter" "I shouldn't have to tell you why" "Miss Stewart if you are not out of here in thirty seconds,I'm going to call the police" "I wouldn't if I were you,we might both land in adjoining cells" "I think you are out of your mind" "It could be that you are out of yours" "Or have you forgotten about me and Reggie Wilson?" "Of course I know about you and Mr Wilson but there is no longer any concern of mine he's leaving studio today, he's probably left by now" "That's what you wanted,isn't it?" "Really,Mr Case,you ought to be a little more grateful" "Miss Stewart,what is it you want of me?" "That's more like it" "Say" "Could really believe that a battle has been fought here" "What picture is it?" "Will you please go" "You haven't got a part in it for a talented brunette with blue eyes 5' 3"" "It's all cast" "Too bad.Never mind.I can wait" "So long you don't forget that I'd been promised a job as soon as one comes up" "I haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about" "Who offered you a job?" "Ernest Chaple,who else, he paid me the money but" "Mr Chaple is my assistant but he has no authority to offer anyone a job without consulting me" "Mr Case,let's stop pretending,shall we?" "Right from the start I suspected you were behind this thing" "It was your studio,and your daughter,Mr Wilson's was married to" "Then one day your friend,Ernest, rang me from a pub in Newcastle remember?" "I just happened to be in the boot next to him and overheard what he told you" "He rang to tell me that my son in law was involved with you" "He ought to know since he was the one that did the involving" "What?" "Now you are not going try and tell me that you didn't know that the whole affair between your son in law and me was cooked up" "To get rid of him?" "You're lying" "Not this time,Mr Case" "I've done some pretty fancy lying for you these past few months but I can still tell the truth when it suits me" "That's good to know because you are gonna have to tell quite a lot of it under oath,both of you" "Reggie,I thought you.." "Left" "I almost had,if I had not happen to see a familiar face from my window" "What's the matter,honey, aren't you glad to se your old lover?" "I can explain everything,Mr Wilson" "I'm sure you can but the last few minutes you've been doing real well" "This time the police would really be interested" "I understand how you must feel ,Mr Wilson but are you sure you want this kind of publicity?" "Yes.I am" "I'm glad you called me Mr Wilson but if you said Reggie I might not been able to keep my hands off you" "You didn't keep your hand off me,Mr Wilson,or your lips" "Remember that when you prefer charges" "I'll remember" "And you,Ben" "You'd been close to me as a real father, it's as my own father tried to kill me" "You are not going to believe this girl after all lies she's told" "Some of them are pretty good lies she knew things about me,she couldn't possibly find out by herself" "If you let me go,Mr Wilson,I promise" "I don't care about your promises" "I've never laid eyes on this girl until today" "You didn't have to see her,as long as you had Ernie to do your dirty work" "Don't dear accuse me" "Why was Ernie in Newcastle,he called you from there,I heard you admit it" "He went out to find out about this girl" "You were pretty quick to believe what he found out,weren't you?" "Why not?" "It all fitted in,those letters all I knew of your past and then Leslie herself confirmed it" "I still want to know why Ernie was prying into my private life,and who put him up to it" "All right,I'll tell you,I did" "That's what I thought" "Sometime ago I had him track you on your journeys out of town" "You had them spy on me,Ben." "Why?" "What right did you have?" "To protect Leslie I didn't believe you were a proper husband for her" "It's a fine way of protecting her by breaking her heart" "You wanted me out of the way and you dreamt up this pack of lies as a pretext" "Now I'll tell you something" "You had this girl come here today to throw me off the track to save your own skin" "That's what you want to believe" "Quite a coincidence you're turning up just at the right moment, in my opinion a little too carefully rehearsed" "All right,Ben,let's find out who is telling the truth" "Where is Ernie?" "He's supervising some dubbing on stage 7 and I'm not going to disturb him" "Oh,yes you are.You are going with me and so is that girl" "I want to see Ernie's face when he is.." "Let me get park gate" "Ah,Pat,Mr Wilson" "Put some extra men on all the gates" "I'm looking for a girl named Evelyn Stewart,don't let her go through" "She is about 5' 3" dark hair wearing a black dress and carrying a light raincoat" "We got encircled,come out with fire" "Do as I say" "Hurry up will you,we haven't got the all day" "Ready now,Mr Chaple" "OK,let's this time get it right" "That's enough,that's all for now,break for lunch" "It's only 11 20 am, Mr Chaple" "I said we are breaking for lunch" "Get out" "You must be crazy coming here,why couldn't you wait.." "Turn off these lights" "I told you I call you as soon as Wilson left the lot" "Well he didn't leave soon enough" "Kay Wallace came to see me in Newcastle and she threatened to go to the police if I didn't let Reggie off the hook" "How could she found out?" "She knew plenty and including some dates I made up in America" "She said she was with him then and she'd swear to it" "You didn't tell her about me?" "It's all you can think about,isn't it?" "Saving your own hide" "Well it's too late now,the whole thing is out of the bag" "What?" "I went to see Mr Case to try and saw up a job for Kay Walsh got to see his daughter" "Reggie must have followed me and he overheard what I said" "No,no" "Don't just stand there you got me into this and get me out" "Get them here,it is out with us" "Then break up something" "There must be a way out of the back lot" "They are watching all the gates" "Yes,no other way out.Any way would good would it do?" "Then brothers starts saying you prayers if you know any" "If you only hadn't gone to Ben" "All staff one" "You had me believe he was behind the whole thing,didn't you?" "Yes,I was doing it for Ben this is Ben's studio,Wilson had no right to put him on the shelf" "So you were only doing it for a friend" "Yes I was" "Evelyn you got to believe me, you got to help me convince Ben" "Oh,don't hand me that stuff" "You hated Reggie and you wanted to get him out of the way" "I hated him,he was getting what he deserved" "There is real dirt under his feet" "I've heard enough and call the gates" "Oh shut up,listen,Reggie is a pretty decent guy" "I was a fool ever get mixed up in this" "As for you,you are a scheming,spying informer" "You know I'll enjoy seen you squirm when he finds you" "Don't talk to me like that" "You come here on purpose to make trouble because you got a crush on him,yes that's it" "You went out with him in Newcastle,Ben told me" "He was making love to you,and you fell for it like all the others" "Don't tell me you are jealous" "Or dreamy ideas about me,I could feel your eyes taking the hurdles" "I bet you never had a girl in your life" "You tramp you" "Come down,Ernie" "Come down" "Or I come up there and throw you to that glass cage" "Ben,where is Ben?" "Save your breath Ernie" "Your mike was open,we heard the whole thing" "Come on,Ernie,keep walking" "Take that light off me" "You never took it off me,did you,Ernie?" "Tailed me everywhere and when you drew a blank,you rigged the whole thing" "My out of town trips,photographs, sleeper stubs,followed me everywhere" "Couldn't get away from it" "Thought I was going out of my mind" "Prop gun,prop girls,everything phoney" "The story of your life,Ernie" "You stay with us" "You're all right,Reggie" "Where about is our man,Mr Wilson?" "Back there" "You go to my office and make a complete statement" "My secretary will take it down" "You understand?" "Yes" "Mr Wilson" "Haven't got a match,have you?" "I guess I had Evelyn Stewart coming to me" "I think we both had" "You know Ben,I've been thinking" "People ought to have,like two lives" "One to practice on and the other one they could really.."
