00:01:30Make mine a scotch and soda, double.
00:01:54What about you?
00:01:55I'll have a root beer.
00:01:56Root beer?
00:01:57Well, it's your liver, my friend.
00:01:59Night desk?
00:02:07How about that shooting?
00:02:09The guy that was shot, his name is Leonard Morris.
00:02:12M-O-S-S.
00:02:13As in Sam, yeah.
00:02:14Hold it.
00:02:15Let's have another.
00:02:16Same thing.
00:02:17He was in a craft game.
00:02:18Hold it.
00:02:19Hey, you all right?
00:02:22I just never saw a stiff before.
00:02:23No?
00:02:24Well, I always thought newspaper reporters...
00:02:25This is my first day at it.
00:02:27Okay, I'll call you later.
00:02:30Hey, he wants us to stick around a while, just in case.
00:02:35You all right?
00:02:36I'm all right.
00:02:37That's probably that stuff you're drinking.
00:02:39How about bringing that bottle with you?
00:02:40All right.
00:02:41Another thing you've got to remember about newspaper work.
00:02:44The public always expects a newspaper man to do a lot of drinking.
00:02:48And so, you mustn't ever let the public down.
00:02:51You think this story will make the front page?
00:02:53It'll be lucky to get in at all.
00:02:55One dice hustler shoots another dice hustler.
00:02:57So what?
00:02:58They don't seem to have the murders these days like they used to.
00:03:01Different class of people, I guess.
00:03:05What's the matter with this crate?
00:03:07That thing ain't worked in ten years.
00:03:09I don't suppose there's any connection,
00:03:12but we haven't had a real good juicy murder story in this town
00:03:15since the Democrats got hold of the country.
00:03:17Back under the Republicans...
00:03:20Well, how do you like that?
00:03:24Ten years?
00:03:25That's more like 15.
00:03:30Mine in May is in June
00:03:33She forgot my day soon
00:03:421927.
00:03:44Remember that?
00:03:461927.
00:03:48Remember that?
00:03:50Yeah.
00:03:59There they go in their joy
00:04:02Happy girl, lucky boy
00:04:05And here am I
00:04:08Broken hearted
00:04:13That's what I mean.
00:04:14That's the song they sang for Roxy Hart.
00:04:17And was that a story?
00:04:19What was?
00:04:20Roxy.
00:04:24Customers.
00:04:25All right, I'll get them, I'll get them.
00:04:28Go boys.
00:04:29Charge your glasses, gentlemen.
00:04:31To Roxy Hart, the prettiest woman ever tried for murder in Cook County.
00:04:35Okay, partner.
00:04:37To Roxy Hart.
00:04:38To Roxy Hart.
00:04:41Well, what about her?
00:04:43You remember that story?
00:04:45Yeah, some of it.
00:04:471926, 27, 28.
00:04:50The bad old days when everything went
00:04:52and everything was big.
00:04:53Big money, big crooks, big murders, big stories.
00:04:56Keep cool with Coolidge, keep cockeyed with Capone.
00:04:59Keep daffy with Danny Browning.
00:05:01This seems to call for a spot of music.
00:05:03And serve everybody around on me.
00:05:06What about Roxy Hart?
00:05:08Roxy Hart.
00:05:09The Teapot Dome, the 18th Amendment,
00:05:12the Monkey Trial, Carl Wanderer, Texas Guinan,
00:05:15Mayor Thompson, the Black Bottom, Black Bottom,
00:05:20Paul Mills, Judd Gray and Ruth Snyder.
00:05:24I want to hear what you got to say about Roxy Hart.
00:05:29Why not?
00:05:30That was the best of them all.
00:05:32That was all of them rolled into one.
00:05:3515 years ago.
00:05:37And I remember it like it was yesterday.
00:05:39That first flash of a shooting.
00:05:48The police?
00:05:49This is Finnegan, the charge at 1442 South Melrose.
00:05:53Somebody just shot somebody in Apartment 6.
00:05:57And I make this statement voluntarily
00:06:00and of my own free will.
00:06:04Freely and gladly.
00:06:06I fired five shots into the man.
00:06:09Smack into him.
00:06:11Killing him instantly.
00:06:13Like a dog.
00:06:16Cheerful little assassin.
00:06:18Assassin?
00:06:19Is it assassination to shoot a burglar?
00:06:21What would you do if you came home
00:06:23and found somebody banging on the bedroom door?
00:06:25Check on the wife.
00:06:26But she wasn't here, I tell ya.
00:06:28Wasn't nobody here.
00:06:29I come home from the pool room and...
00:06:31You know, I'm the best hooker player down there.
00:06:33Yeah, and if I...
00:06:34Come on, come on, sign it.
00:06:35He ain't trying the case.
00:06:36He's just a reporter.
00:06:38Not bad, huh?
00:06:39One hour and we got the guy in a signed confession.
00:06:42Last week the jury thanked the man for killing a burglar.
00:06:45This week they're giving a Huffmobile.
00:06:47Where do you think the madam could be?
00:06:49The what?
00:06:51The wife.
00:06:52The movies, maybe.
00:06:53Come on, let's go outside and have a talk with the prosecutor.
00:06:56Say, is he trying to insinuate something?
00:07:01How do you look at this thing?
00:07:03That's my wife.
00:07:04She's artistic.
00:07:06I never see anything that reminded me less of Whistler's mother.
00:07:16Everybody through with this?
00:07:17It's all yours, doctor.
00:07:19I believe that if everybody would love everybody else...
00:07:22Okay, Billy Sunday, let's go.
00:07:26Yeah, well, that's about all it is, I'm afraid.
00:07:28Routine 12-B.
00:07:30Yeah, Joe the Jerk defends the Little Nest...
00:07:33while Miss Flapperwife is out mooning over John Gilbert.
00:07:38Okay, Tommy, see you later.
00:08:00Ah, boo.
00:08:03I have a couple of words with you.
00:08:08Hey, cut it out, will you? I only want to say a word.
00:08:12Oh, no.
00:08:15Will you cut it out?
00:08:18I'm not a copper.
00:08:20What are you?
00:08:21I'm a newspaper man.
00:08:26Don't fall.
00:08:31Come on.
00:08:32Oh, no.
00:08:34There's a cop in there. Do you want me to call him or not?
00:08:37What do you want?
00:08:38I want the story. I want you to tell me what really happened in here.
00:08:40You hurt him, I was...
00:08:41Don't give me that.
00:08:42You weren't skinning around the outside of this building just for your health.
00:08:45Come on, let's have it.
00:08:46You let me go.
00:08:52You plugged him, didn't you?
00:08:54You batty.
00:08:55Come on, what are you scared of? They won't do anything to you.
00:08:58This county never does anything to a dame.
00:09:00Cook County is the most gallant county in the whole country.
00:09:03Why, a pretty murderess is as safe here as she is in her mother's arms.
00:09:08What do you want me to do?
00:09:10Say I shot him when I didn't?
00:09:12Oh, no, you're not. Come here. Come here.
00:09:14Cut it out, will you?
00:09:15If you do that again, I'll break your arm.
00:09:20No more billy goats, either.
00:09:22Oh, please let me go. I didn't do it. I swear I didn't. He shot him.
00:09:25Yeah, but why did he shoot him? Because he busted in and caught you.
00:09:28Oh, he didn't have to bust in. The door was open.
00:09:30Oh, mercy me, mercy me.
00:09:32Bring the body back in the parlor.
00:09:36Get out of here.
00:09:37You and me has got to have a nice little talk.
00:09:40Look, honey sucker, you get right in there and daddy will be back in just a few minutes.
00:09:49We met this gentleman downstairs. He says he knows the stuff.
00:09:52Who are you?
00:09:54E. Clay Benham at your service.
00:09:56Benham and Casely. Theatrical booking agents.
00:09:59That is, or that was, my partner, the late Mr. Casely.
00:10:02I don't want to seem crude, but I'd like somebody to make up their mind about these remains.
00:10:07He wasn't no midget, remember?
00:10:09You positively identify this man?
00:10:11Gladly. That is, naturally.
00:10:13Take it away.
00:10:14Just ring twice, any time. Service with a smile.
00:10:17Now, what do you know about this?
00:10:18Very little, I'm afraid. I didn't even know that Roxy was married.
00:10:21Roxy?
00:10:22Mrs. Hart. She was a client of ours, in a way of speaking, though we were never able to place her.
00:10:26What particular talent was she peddling?
00:10:29She described herself, I believe, as a dancer.
00:10:32I don't believe it.
00:10:34She wouldn't lie to me like that.
00:10:36Well, she was here washing the dishes all the time.
00:10:39My dear fellow, it's a matter of record.
00:10:41She's been on our doorstep, or rather Mr. Casey's, for weeks.
00:10:44Only this afternoon she insisted on another audition.
00:10:46And she told me she'd never seen him before.
00:10:49She'd never seen him before in her life! A complete stranger!
00:10:52She liked Mr. Casely?
00:10:54Well, let us say, rather, that Mrs. Hart was ambitious and female.
00:10:58A coquette.
00:11:00The word is nicely chosen.
00:11:02Mr. Casely was responsive to her appeal.
00:11:04Fred was a man who was always sensitive to a well-turned ankle.
00:11:07A wolf?
00:11:11Demortuous, snill, nice-eyed bonham.
00:11:13There. A wolf.
00:11:15But why?
00:11:16Is Roxy the one that plugged him?
00:11:18She is!
00:11:19Why should I try to protect her?
00:11:21Why should I take the rap when all the time she was lying to me?
00:11:24I bring her to Chicago.
00:11:26I get her a job.
00:11:27And this is what she does to me.
00:11:29Why, I wasn't even in the room.
00:11:31I was coming up them stairs.
00:11:32Went bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:11:34And there she was with the rod in her hand.
00:11:36And him folding up right there.
00:11:39Well, let's do a little more like it.
00:11:41And all the time I'm trying to believe her.
00:11:43I'm trying to make myself believe her.
00:11:45Because I wanted to believe her.
00:11:46Where is she now?
00:11:47On the roof, hiding.
00:11:49Excuse me.
00:11:50Downstairs, cover the building.
00:11:51You come with me.
00:11:55On the hard story.
00:11:56A perfectly lovely situation has developed.
00:11:58Joe the jerk has now pinned it on the little woman.
00:12:01I want to issue a statement.
00:12:03Hold it, Tommy.
00:12:04You're not going to change your mind again, I hope.
00:12:06Why, you liar.
00:12:07I didn't do it.
00:12:08Get out of here.
00:12:11Hold it, Tommy.
00:12:12They're coming through the walls.
00:12:13Get out of here.
00:12:15Boy, it kisses us hard.
00:12:17Take it easy.
00:12:18Take it easy.
00:12:19Take it easy, will you, honey?
00:12:20You don't want to damage your defense.
00:12:27Nothing doing down here.
00:12:28All right.
00:12:29Help the sergeant up here.
00:12:30I'll watch the fire escape.
00:12:31OK.
00:12:33Keep this wire open, Tommy.
00:12:34Sandy Claus is coming.
00:12:35Wait till I get my hands on that dirty...
00:12:37Pipe down.
00:12:38Will you pipe down?
00:12:39Here's your lead.
00:12:40Roxy Hart, the prettiest woman ever charged with murder in this county,
00:12:43has just surrendered to a representative of the Gazette.
00:12:46Whilst the constabulary...
00:12:47All you got to do is to sign this.
00:12:49Buddy, the cops are still on the roof.
00:12:51Did you hear what he said?
00:12:52What?
00:12:55You really think I'm so pretty, like you said.
00:12:59Honey, you are a gardener, Holly Harts.
00:13:01How old are you, dear?
00:13:0418.
00:13:05Roxy is 23 and redheaded.
00:13:08Listen, old boy.
00:13:09Let me get the girls signed up before those monkeys get back down here.
00:13:11All right, shake it up.
00:13:12Hold it, Tommy.
00:13:13What's that?
00:13:14All you got to do, my dear, is to sign this contract.
00:13:19What contract?
00:13:20This is just a blank piece of paper, not even a fine print on it.
00:13:22I'm going to fill that in later.
00:13:23Cabarets, personal appearance, everything.
00:13:25Will you clean up?
00:13:26Unless, of course, you swing.
00:13:29What is this, the insane asylum?
00:13:31You're beginning to give me the creeps.
00:13:34You're not going to swing.
00:13:35Women don't swing in this county.
00:13:38And will you stop saying swing?
00:13:40Listen, Roxy, you are a very lucky girl.
00:13:43Today you are nobody and who cares?
00:13:45Tomorrow, money couldn't buy the publicity you'll have.
00:13:48Column after column of it.
00:13:49Pictures, measurements, what you eat, what you drink,
00:13:52how you feel when you get up in the morning.
00:13:54Advice to young girls.
00:13:55On the radio.
00:13:56Everybody in the country will know you.
00:13:57They'll fight to see you, like when you cross the sidewalk
00:13:59from the patrol wagon to the courtroom door.
00:14:02They want your autograph.
00:14:03They'll grab your clothes for souvenirs.
00:14:05They want to kiss you so they can tell their grandchildren.
00:14:07A million dollar production and you're the star.
00:14:09I'm telling you, honey, you'll be right up there
00:14:11with Peaches Browning, William Jennings Bryan,
00:14:13Queen Marie, Ma Ferguson.
00:14:15Mutton Jeff.
00:14:16Red Grains, Ruth Snyder, Amy Semple McPherson,
00:14:18Barney Google.
00:14:20Don't you understand, dear?
00:14:21This is Chicago, the city of opportunity.
00:14:24And that city only awaits one word from you,
00:14:27to be at your feet.
00:14:32Well, maybe I'm crazy.
00:14:35Listen, you female...
00:14:36Let me out of here, please.
00:14:37Are you going to throw away a veritable fortune?
00:14:39And how am I going to spend that fortune in a cemetery?
00:14:41You won't have to, I tell you.
00:14:43Who's going to stop at you?
00:14:44Billy Flynn.
00:14:47Billy Flynn?
00:14:48You mean the great mouthpiece?
00:14:49Get Billy Flynn and you can write your own ticket.
00:14:51Yes, and use it.
00:14:53The streets of the city are congested with women
00:14:55that Billy has saved from their just desserts.
00:14:57Well, do you think he'd take me?
00:14:59Honey, Willie would take an ape woman
00:15:01if there was enough publicity in it.
00:15:04He's good-looking, too, isn't he?
00:15:06Sex appeal rises from him like a cloud of steam.
00:15:09But you don't think there'd be any chance...
00:15:11Honey, I keep telling you,
00:15:12this county wouldn't hang Lucretia Borgia.
00:15:15I wouldn't want to get in any jam, you know.
00:15:17It's money for moment, dear.
00:15:18That's the only way to describe it.
00:15:20And you don't think that,
00:15:21well, all this you said about my career,
00:15:23you don't think I could have it if I was innocent?
00:15:26Oh, Roxy, Roxy, please.
00:15:29Well, then, of course.
00:15:33Naturally, I want to do everything,
00:15:35everything I can for my career.
00:15:40All right, honey.
00:15:41What's her name, Roxy?
00:15:42All right, Roxy, give it to us big mouth.
00:15:44Give it plenty of teeth.
00:15:45The old spider face,
00:15:46it's fine, hold it.
00:15:48Go!
00:15:49Wonderful, wonderful.
00:15:50Now, let's see.
00:15:51If I'd known this in time,
00:15:52I'd have got her myself.
00:15:54Uh-huh, this'll be a nifty, though.
00:15:56All right, hand up, that's fine.
00:15:57You got her in focus, boys?
00:15:58Get the orchard in.
00:15:59Ah, this is wonderful, wonderful, love it.
00:16:02Is that her?
00:16:03Yeah.
00:16:04Pip, huh?
00:16:05Wonderful, wonderful.
00:16:06She's just a girl, like me.
00:16:09How's that?
00:16:10I thought she'd be older and more sinful looking.
00:16:14She's...
00:16:15Where's the husband?
00:16:16What's his name?
00:16:17She's beautiful.
00:16:18Now, listen, I don't want any of this
00:16:19to get in the newspapers.
00:16:20I want the whole thing kept perfectly quiet.
00:16:23Sure, sure, you're too smart a guy.
00:16:25Step right over here.
00:16:26You ain't gonna drag me into this.
00:16:27You're a ready drug, you dope.
00:16:28Now, stop stalling and get over there.
00:16:29We gotta catch the male addition.
00:16:31I won't do it.
00:16:32There you are.
00:16:33No spirit of cooperation.
00:16:34Now, listen, Amos,
00:16:35you want people to think you're a yellow dog
00:16:37and ran out on your wife?
00:16:38A low, dirty bum?
00:16:39What else is he?
00:16:40Get in there and show the world
00:16:41you're gonna stand by her through thick and thin.
00:16:43The old bulldog spirit for the woman I love.
00:16:46How about it, kid?
00:16:47Why, with a man like you at her side,
00:16:48a woman could fight the whole world.
00:16:50Lefty.
00:16:51Well, naturally, if I thought...
00:16:53Attaboy.
00:16:54We'll send you a copy to hang in your den
00:16:55with the rest of your trophies.
00:16:57What about the stiff?
00:16:58The corpse?
00:16:59No corpse is gonna pose with me,
00:17:00especially that, and you can just count me out.
00:17:02Get back, honey.
00:17:03The stiff is gone.
00:17:04It's enough with that.
00:17:06We don't need the stiff.
00:17:07Hey, Fido, lay down.
00:17:08Lay dead.
00:17:09Here?
00:17:10Yeah.
00:17:11You, right over here now.
00:17:12Try and unloosen.
00:17:13That's fine.
00:17:14Beautiful.
00:17:15Beautiful.
00:17:18Come on, everybody.
00:17:19Big smile.
00:17:20Beautiful.
00:17:21How's this pose?
00:17:22Is this a good one?
00:17:23The knees, babe.
00:17:24How about profile?
00:17:26I hate to lose any part of that kisser,
00:17:28but let me see.
00:17:29Good.
00:17:30You're asking his forgiveness.
00:17:32Who's asking whose forgiveness?
00:17:34Look, Roxy, cooperate.
00:17:35The knees, the knees.
00:17:37I don't know what I want to get mixed up in this thing for.
00:17:39Look, you move out of there,
00:17:40and I'll bet you won't so help me.
00:17:41I'll hit you such a rough, you...
00:17:43Roxy, you're begging his forgiveness.
00:17:45Husband, you're smiling sweetly.
00:17:47Counselor, cook official.
00:17:48That's it.
00:17:49Hold it, everybody.
00:17:50The knees, Roxy.
00:17:51The knees.
00:17:52The knees.
00:17:56That's the way it started.
00:17:58Small, but brother how it grew.
00:18:00In one week, Roxy Hart was the best-known dame in the United States.
00:18:04Her fame covered this whole country like the morning dew.
00:18:07Like the dew.
00:18:08The prettiest woman ever charged with murder in the history of Chicago.
00:18:12Pretty soft, huh?
00:18:13That's the way it looked, yeah.
00:18:15Like a setup, a pushover.
00:18:17No risk, no danger, no chance of a conviction.
00:18:20That's the way it looked then.
00:18:22That's what she thought.
00:18:24Do you seriously think Billy Flynn is going to waste his time
00:18:27on every two-bit scuffle that gets into the papers?
00:18:30Two-bit scuffle?
00:18:31Eight pictures and nine columns in two days?
00:18:33I guess that ain't the bee's knees.
00:18:35My dear girl,
00:18:36do you realize that during my first week here,
00:18:39I had a total of 15 pictures, 27 and a half columns,
00:18:42and an editorial denouncing me?
00:18:45Please, you're so awful.
00:18:46It's all I can do to keep my mind on you.
00:18:48Children.
00:18:49No talk, you think you were the queen of the jail.
00:18:51Well, permit me to remind you, Miss Sloppy,
00:18:54your whole case is a very low class affair.
00:18:57Whereas my friend was in the social register.
00:19:01On a pass.
00:19:02In my opinion, Mrs. Hart,
00:19:04you're a very ordinary bum and you might as well face it.
00:19:07Bum? I'll bum you!
00:19:19No!
00:19:27Children.
00:19:33You girls have got to stop squabbling.
00:19:44Let's see, where was I?
00:19:50All together, Mr. Benham and I managed to raise $1,400 off the furniture.
00:19:54Never mind how, just count it out.
00:19:56Then there's $500 from the savings,
00:19:58and $500 from Roxy's life insurance.
00:20:00That's $2,400.
00:20:01$300 that I borrowed and $700 from the building and loan.
00:20:05That's $3,400.
00:20:06And that's all.
00:20:07All?
00:20:08All so far.
00:20:09I figured I could pay you, say, $20 a week.
00:20:11I could give you interest.
00:20:12Maybe double interest.
00:20:13Now, don't get me wrong, Mr. Benham,
00:20:15I figured I could pay you, say, $20 a week.
00:20:17I could give you interest.
00:20:18Maybe double interest.
00:20:19Now, just a minute, Hart.
00:20:20When you came to me and said,
00:20:21Mr. Flynn, will you take this case,
00:20:23did I say, is she innocent or is she guilty?
00:20:25No.
00:20:26I said nothing like that.
00:20:27I simply said, have you got $5,000, didn't I?
00:20:29That's right.
00:20:30You've been perfectly fair with me.
00:20:31All right, then I expect you to be fair with me.
00:20:33What about her father and mother?
00:20:35You tried them?
00:20:36Well, I don't think they got much.
00:20:37Well, whatever they've got,
00:20:38they'll give to save their daughter and their little baby, won't they?
00:20:40Well, I don't know.
00:20:41You don't know?
00:20:43Why, Hart, that's the most cold-blooded thing
00:20:44I've ever heard a man say.
00:20:46To even question the willingness of a father and mother
00:20:48to come to the aid of their child.
00:20:49Flesh of their flesh, bone of their bone.
00:20:51Well, I didn't mean that they...
00:20:52Now, where are they?
00:20:53Get them on the phone right now.
00:20:54They live down in the country.
00:20:55Well, call them.
00:20:56It's long distance.
00:20:57Well, put it on the bill.
00:20:58Call them.
00:20:59Will you get me Mr. Magnus J. Wadsworth in Zanesboro?
00:21:02Why, the best friend that any of us can have in this world
00:21:04may turn against us and become our enemy.
00:21:06Our son, our daughter,
00:21:07that we have reared with loving care,
00:21:09may prove ungrateful.
00:21:10Those we have trusted with our happiness and good name
00:21:12may prove traitors to that faith.
00:21:14But when all others have fled,
00:21:15when riches have taken wing,
00:21:17and reputation fallen to pieces,
00:21:19there still remains one absolutely unselfish friend
00:21:22in this selfish world.
00:21:23One who will never desert us.
00:21:25One who will never prove ungrateful nor treacherous.
00:21:27That's a mad dog, Errol.
00:21:31That's right it is.
00:21:33I was thinking it was...
00:21:34Mr. Wadsworth?
00:21:35This is Amos.
00:21:36Roxy's in some terrible trouble.
00:21:38What?
00:21:39Yes.
00:21:41Yes?
00:21:42No!
00:21:43Then if we don't do something pretty quick...
00:21:45Do what?
00:21:47I said they're liable to...
00:21:50Hang her.
00:21:51Good!
00:22:08They're gonna hang Roxy.
00:22:10What did I tell you?
00:22:13Now let's get this straight, Tootsie.
00:22:15I haven't committed myself on this proposition yet.
00:22:17Maybe I'll be able to handle it, maybe not.
00:22:19It all depends on developments.
00:22:21But I'm gonna give you a few tips now, just in case.
00:22:23Well...
00:22:25Maybe I shouldn't say this, but...
00:22:27I didn't do it.
00:22:29You didn't do it?
00:22:31Oh, well, then I'm not sure that I'm the man for the job.
00:22:33Now if you're guilty...
00:22:34Please, please, I'm sorry I mentioned it.
00:22:36Oh, that's all right.
00:22:37I'll keep it in mind in case of emergency.
00:22:38But for the present, we'll proceed along the customary lines.
00:22:41Now, uh, what we gotta do first...
00:22:43Is to go out for sympathy.
00:22:45Through the newspapers.
00:22:46The story of your life starts tomorrow in the Herald.
00:22:48From kindergarten to jail.
00:22:50What?
00:22:51My secretary is writing it this afternoon.
00:22:52Signed with your name, of course.
00:22:54An authorist?
00:22:56Beautiful southern home.
00:22:57Every luxury and refinement.
00:22:59Magnolias.
00:23:00Colored mammy.
00:23:01The full treatment.
00:23:03Educated in private schools.
00:23:04Sheltered like a little flower.
00:23:06And then ruined.
00:23:07Parents dead.
00:23:08Fortune swept away.
00:23:09A runaway marriage.
00:23:11And heartbreak.
00:23:12You're a lovely, innocent child.
00:23:14Bewildered by what has happened.
00:23:15Young, full of life.
00:23:17And lonely.
00:23:18Caught in a mad world of a great city.
00:23:20Music, lights, wine.
00:23:22The black bottom.
00:23:23Like a moth to the flame.
00:23:25And now the cold, gray dawn.
00:23:28Mad world ceased.
00:23:30Butterfly crushed on the wheel.
00:23:32And what's left?
00:23:33Regret.
00:23:34That's the important thing.
00:23:35Regret.
00:23:36Regret.
00:23:37You'd give your life this very minute to bring him back.
00:23:39Why'd I do it?
00:23:40Was I drunk or crazy?
00:23:41All you can remember is a fearful quarrel.
00:23:43And then he threatened you.
00:23:45My honor?
00:23:46No, no.
00:23:47We don't want to fall back on that unless we have to.
00:23:48He threatened to kill you.
00:23:49Later we'll work out why.
00:23:51You can see him coming toward you now.
00:23:53With an awful look in his eyes.
00:23:54A wild look.
00:23:55And get this.
00:23:56You're both grabbed for the gun.
00:23:58See?
00:23:59Self-defense.
00:24:00Whatever we work in later, that's there from the start.
00:24:03And everything went purple.
00:24:05Purple?
00:24:07Black?
00:24:08White?
00:24:09Red?
00:24:10Purple's good.
00:24:11It's new.
00:24:12As you're both grabbed for the gun, everything went purple.
00:24:14I like that.
00:24:15The reporter's downstairs.
00:24:16Okay, okay.
00:24:17Holy Moses.
00:24:18Haven't you got something else you could wear?
00:24:19What's wrong with this?
00:24:20Well, for a clip joint, it's great.
00:24:22But you've got to remember what I said, you dope.
00:24:24Regret.
00:24:25Remorse.
00:24:26Unhappiness.
00:24:27No matter what happens.
00:24:28There can never be any more life gave your happiness for you.
00:24:30You'll never smile again.
00:24:31You understand?
00:24:32I got it.
00:24:33Now, don't forget it.
00:24:34Bird brain.
00:24:36Ms. Martin, get me that black dress.
00:24:38The one with the sunflower on the stomach.
00:24:48How is she today?
00:24:49Poor child.
00:24:51She's holding up magnificently, poor bewildered kid.
00:24:53Right now, she can hardly realize what's happened.
00:24:57Mr. Callahan, I've just seen Finnegan, the janitor.
00:25:00What janitor?
00:25:01At the apartment house.
00:25:02And from what he says, she didn't do it.
00:25:05Are you...
00:25:06Are you nuts?
00:25:07What are you trying to do?
00:25:08Kill the story?
00:25:09Listen, you, I suppose, should be a newspaper man.
00:25:12Not a detective.
00:25:13You understand?
00:25:14You, I suppose, should build up a story.
00:25:16Not tear it down.
00:25:17Give me that.
00:25:19Never scare me like that again.
00:25:21Gentlemen.
00:25:22Mrs. Hart.
00:25:29Open.
00:25:30Open.
00:25:51Roxy, dear.
00:25:52This is Mary Sunshine, the famous feature writer.
00:25:57And these are some gentlemen of the press.
00:25:59How are you, Mrs. Hart?
00:26:00So glad to meet you.
00:26:01How do you do?
00:26:02Boy.
00:26:03Oh, you poor child.
00:26:04Come, sit over here.
00:26:07We all understand.
00:26:09I'm going to leave you now, Roxy,
00:26:10so that Miss Sunshine and the boys can interview you without being disturbed.
00:26:13Just answer their questions frankly.
00:26:15And don't forget what I told you.
00:26:16Yes, Daddy.
00:26:19Just a frightened kid, that's all.
00:26:20Goodbye, Mary.
00:26:21Goodbye, boys.
00:26:22Goodbye.
00:26:25Bye, Jake.
00:26:26Bye, Willie.
00:26:29Excuse me.
00:26:30Yes, of course.
00:26:34What's that?
00:26:35A dinner from the Ritz, madame.
00:26:37There's two more outside, but just from restaurants.
00:26:39No other hotels.
00:26:43Listen to this.
00:26:45My heart and hand are at your feet.
00:26:47With you, my life would be complete.
00:26:50Yours with pleasure, an unknown admirer.
00:26:53Isn't that lovely?
00:26:55Probably from Lord Byron.
00:26:57Then why doesn't he sign it?
00:26:59But Mr. Flint...
00:27:00Now, wait a minute.
00:27:01You get the dough, and I'll get you a pass, and not before.
00:27:10But what kind of a jail is it that everybody in the world can get into the wife but the husband?
00:27:17Everybody's been so lovely.
00:27:18You know, I haven't had to eat this jell-sop once.
00:27:20Just what did happen, Mrs. Hart?
00:27:23How's that?
00:27:24Tell us in your own words why.
00:27:29Well...
00:27:31All I can remember is a dreadful quarrel, and then a threat.
00:27:35I can see him coming toward me now with that awful look in his eye.
00:27:38A wild look.
00:27:40Oh, look how we get our pair.
00:27:41Gee, that fellow certainly doesn't give up, does he?
00:27:43He was bearing down on you with that wild look.
00:27:46And then what?
00:27:48And then...
00:27:50We both grabbed for the gun.
00:27:52And get that straight, we both grabbed for it.
00:27:54And then?
00:27:55And then...
00:27:56Everything went purple.
00:27:58Purple?
00:27:59A purple...
00:28:01Flash.
00:28:03Light or dark?
00:28:06Pardon?
00:28:07I say, light purple, like lavender, or dark purple, like violet?
00:28:18Violet.
00:28:19In other words, self-defense.
00:28:21You can bet your sweet life it was.
00:28:23They'd all be so glad to know you can eat.
00:28:27It's choking me every mouthful, but I feel it's my duty.
00:28:31Oh, it is, it is.
00:28:33You've got to keep up your strength.
00:28:35I can't sleep at night either.
00:28:37All night long I just walk up and down, tossing the floor.
00:28:40You recall nothing specific during this purple patch?
00:28:45How could I? I must have been mad, insane.
00:28:47Oh, dear.
00:28:48Oh, not enough for the asylum, understand?
00:28:49Over with, right away.
00:28:50Sane before and sane after.
00:28:52With a little teensy-weensy spot of insanity right in the middle, is that it?
00:28:56That's it, shoot me the jam, Sam.
00:28:58Is it true, Mrs. Hart, you were swept off your feet by jazz?
00:29:01Yeah, what about that black bottom?
00:29:03Well...
00:29:04You're good at it, ain't you?
00:29:06I ain't had no complaints yet.
00:29:08How about a little sample?
00:29:09Now?
00:29:10Sure, why not?
00:29:11Sure, Roxy.
00:29:12Come on, be a sport.
00:29:13Give, Roxy.
00:29:14Boy.
00:29:16Oh, you're really the nuttiest guy I ever saw.
00:29:18Why don't you, Mrs. Hart?
00:29:19It might take your thoughts off your tragedy.
00:29:21Do a few steps for us.
00:29:23You don't think it might be what you call out of place?
00:29:28Certainly not.
00:29:29You think we'd ask you if it would be?
00:29:32Well...
00:29:37I don't know if I ought.
00:29:48I don't know if I ought.
00:30:19Come on, get away, get away.
00:30:21Come on, Scats.
00:30:22Who wants to see any pictures of you, anyway?
00:30:24But I'm the husband, ain't I?
00:30:26I don't believe it.
00:30:31Well, hers were a big black mouth.
00:30:48Mrs. Hart, I think you're just wonderful.
00:31:12What?
00:31:13I know you didn't do it, I just know it.
00:31:15Oh, you're a sweetie pie to say that.
00:31:17But if you print it, I'll wrap a chair around your neck.
00:31:34Kinda liked her, huh?
00:31:36Kinda liked her?
00:31:37That's putting it feebly.
00:31:40I couldn't sleep for thinking about her.
00:31:42Go on, I wanna hear some more.
00:31:46Oil for the lamps of China, gentlemen.
00:31:53A month later.
00:32:15Chicago, Chicago, that's how the town...
00:32:26And how do you behave?
00:32:27Let go, you!
00:32:28Are you?
00:32:29Let go, I tell you!
00:32:30Are you?
00:32:31Yeah, I'll let go of my hair.
00:32:33And if I find you biting anyone else around here, I'll have the dentist pull every tooth in your head.
00:32:46Got a butt, buddy?
00:33:01Won't you tell us just how you happened to take up banditry, Miss Baxter?
00:33:06Did you suffer from an inferiority complex?
00:33:09Hello, Miss Sunshine.
00:33:11Later, Mrs. Hart.
00:33:12Or would you describe yourself as a thrill flayer?
00:33:17Oh, Mr. Callahan, I got a scoop for you.
00:33:21I'm thinking of going on a hunker strike.
00:33:23Okay, kid, happy hiccups.
00:33:25What about the guy who was with you?
00:33:26I got him outside, maybe you'd like to go out and take a little peek at him.
00:33:28Do you want to come?
00:33:37Roxy.
00:33:38Roxy.
00:33:41I'm awfully worried, Roxy.
00:33:42You're worried?
00:33:44Listen, my lawyer goes out of town on a vacation.
00:33:47My agent, whenever you want him, you can't find him.
00:33:49So in ten days, only one little scoop of a story and no pictures.
00:33:52And now this.
00:33:53You can figure for yourself how I feel.
00:33:55It's not that.
00:33:56Did you see that editorial in the Ledger this morning?
00:33:59About me?
00:34:00It said, why is it that men could be hanged in this county, but not women?
00:34:04It was called, We Demand Equal Rights for Women.
00:34:07Hey, that's swell.
00:34:08Roxy, please, this is serious.
00:34:10This case isn't going to be like the others.
00:34:12Everybody's getting sore.
00:34:13The mayor, the newspapers, the preachers, the women's clubs, everybody.
00:34:15It never was like that before.
00:34:17You're sweet.
00:34:21Don't you understand?
00:34:22They're going to try to make you pay the penalty.
00:34:27I never thought of anybody really worrying about me before.
00:34:32If anything happened to you, Roxy, I don't know what I'd do.
00:34:38How old are you?
00:34:4125.
00:34:43Well.
00:34:53Listen, sweetie pie, I'll tell you a secret.
00:34:56Any old time the going gets too tough, all I have to do is just say one word and I'm out.
00:34:59Just one word, that's all.
00:35:00So you needn't worry about me.
00:35:02Any old time the going gets too tough, all I have to do is just say one word and I'm out.
00:35:05Just one word, that's all.
00:35:06So you needn't worry.
00:35:07I'm so happy.
00:35:08Is there anything I can do for you?
00:35:10Yeah, go find that Benham, that agent guy, and tell him I want some action.
00:35:13Right away.
00:35:14Yeah, a proposition like this, you gotta keep it boiling.
00:35:16Something new all the time.
00:35:17And when you got your whole future tied up in it,
00:35:19you gotta grab it by the horn and hit it while it's hot.

00:37:34Yes, Daddy.
00:37:36Perhaps you'd better call me something else.
00:37:37Yes, Daddy.
00:37:45Boy.
00:37:58Oh, poor dear child.
00:38:03Thank you so much.
00:38:04I'm such a bother these days.
00:38:05Comfortable, my dear?
00:38:06Yes, Dad.
00:38:07Dear Mr. Flynn.
00:38:08Game, little woman.
00:38:09I've never seen anything like it.
00:38:10Isn't he gorgeous?
00:38:11Aren't you glad?
00:38:12Glad.
00:38:13Glad.
00:38:14To have your child born here.
00:38:15Now, now, dear.
00:38:16You promised me not to get upset again.
00:38:17Now, now.
00:38:18Now, now.
00:38:19Now, now.
00:38:20Now, now.
00:38:21Now, now.
00:38:22Now, now.
00:38:23Now, now.
00:38:24Now, now.
00:38:25Now, now.
00:38:26Now, now.
00:38:27Now, now.
00:38:28Now, now.
00:38:29Now, now.
00:38:30Now, now.
00:38:31You promised me not to get upset again.
00:38:32Oh, what a story.
00:38:33What a tragedy.
00:38:34When is it to be, dear?
00:38:37Oh.
00:38:46Not till summer.
00:38:48June.
00:38:51Harrison's trying to postpone the trial, you know.
00:38:54Till after election.
00:38:55For myself, it don't matter.
00:38:57But for the little one.
00:38:58Fat lot, Harrison cares about that.
00:39:02Hello, Mr. Callahan.
00:39:04We'll make him care.
00:39:05I'll see to that.
00:39:06I'll call every woman's club in the city.
00:39:08Every mother's and teacher's association.
00:39:10Oh, Mr. Callahan.
00:39:11Hmm?
00:39:12I think Miss Baxter's trying to attract your attention.
00:39:15We'll start a petition.
00:39:17Get thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of names.
00:39:19Swell.
00:39:20What a great idea.
00:39:21Boy.
00:39:22Demanding that bail be granted so an innocent babe can be born in God's great outdoors.
00:39:25You mean in the woods?
00:39:27No, not bail.
00:39:28For immediate trial.
00:39:29Oh, swell, Mary.
00:39:30Jake.
00:39:31Yeah?
00:39:32I think Miss Baxter wishes to speak with you.
00:39:35She probably has a scoop for you.
00:39:38Hiya, Gertie.
00:39:39Just a minute.
00:39:40Who is that dame?
00:39:41Scram, sister.
00:39:42Upstairs, Gertie.
00:39:43This is private.
00:39:44Scat.
00:39:49Aw, poor Miss Baxter.
00:39:51She seemed to live such a lonely life.
00:39:53I've got it.
00:39:54Oh, I've got it.
00:39:55Yeah?
00:39:56We'll demand that the trial start on Mother's Day.
00:39:57Wonderful, Mary.
00:39:58Magnificent.
00:39:59What a swell idea.
00:40:00But I'm the father.
00:40:01Don't you understand?
00:40:02I'm the father.
00:40:03Ain't there any room at all for the father?
00:40:06How many people did the state charge with the shooting of Casely?
00:40:09One.
00:40:10How many did the grand jury indict?
00:40:11One.
00:40:12How many are named in the charge?
00:40:14One.
00:40:15And how can the state try two?
00:40:16That's a mighty pretty question.
00:40:18All right, counselor.
00:40:19Don't you worry, my dear.
00:40:20The American public will fight to the death for you and your wee one.
00:40:23But what will beat the rap?
00:40:24That's the answer test.
00:40:26Every true woman in the country will be with you spiritually, Mrs. Hart.
00:40:29Motherhood itself will be at stake.
00:40:31You've been so kind, Miss Sunshine.
00:40:34If it's a girl, I'd like to name it after you.
00:40:38Oh, you darling.
00:40:40Oh, that's just too sweet.
00:40:42And if it's a boy, after you, Jake.
00:40:45No, not me, honey.
00:40:47That's just the same.
00:40:48You slip it to Billy here.
00:40:50Well, I appreciate the honor, naturally.
00:40:52But I happen to be married and happily and would like to remain so.
00:40:55Mr. Flynn, I thought Mr. Hart's outside making quite a fuss.
00:40:57Well, he's got a crust.
00:40:58He says he wants to make it up with her.
00:41:00Oh, for my dead body.
00:41:01He turned on her and he's going to stay turned on her.
00:41:03He can't switch back and forth like that.
00:41:05Why, he'll never get a defense set.
00:41:06Shall I tell him to throw him out?
00:41:07No, I'll see him.
00:41:08Why, we can't allow him to have any sympathy at all.
00:41:10He's got to be the heavy throughout.
00:41:12I'll have to get him to divorce you.
00:41:14If you don't lay off me, sir, help me.
00:41:16I just want to give you a cigar, that's all.
00:41:18Look, from you, I wouldn't take Clara Bolton.
00:41:20Be with you in a minute, baby boy.
00:41:22Well, Mr. Flynn, I guess the cigars are on me this time.
00:41:25Well, Hart, I congratulate you.
00:41:27Thanks, old man.
00:41:28That's the way to take it.
00:41:29Be a good sport about it.
00:41:30Came as quite a surprise, too, you know.
00:41:32Well, what does that matter?
00:41:33The whole affair was obviously somewhat awkward.
00:41:35But you're a man of the world, aren't you?
00:41:37Yes, but what do you mean, be a good sport?
00:41:39Exactly.
00:41:41Now, I'm a bit older than you are, Hart.
00:41:43Sit down.
00:41:44You know, I've seen such situations arise before.
00:41:46And the only way to take them is philosophically.
00:41:48Just laugh it off, that's all.
00:41:49Laugh?
00:41:50Yes, no matter what they say to you, just laugh at them.
00:41:54Laugh and the world laughs with you.
00:41:56Weep and you'll look like a chump.
00:41:58Maybe I better hold on to this for a little while yet.
00:42:01What's the matter?
00:42:02Maybe I ain't as big a chump as I look.
00:42:04Hart, you're not going to be a cad.
00:42:06Who says I ain't?
00:42:07Nobody can't make a fool out of me, you know.
00:42:09You amaze me.
00:42:10You talk as if you were going to divorce her.
00:42:12And maybe that ain't all.
00:42:14What do you mean?
00:42:15You think you're so smart, the both of you.
00:42:17But I know what you're figuring.
00:42:18You're figuring if the going gets too tough, you're going to call in Finnegan.
00:42:21And he'll clear her and hang it on me.
00:42:23Well, you ain't.
00:42:24And you know why you ain't?
00:42:26Because Finnegan is dead.
00:42:28Yeah, last week.
00:42:29He had another stroke and he's dead.
00:42:31Finnegan?
00:42:32Who is Finnegan?
00:42:33Not is, was.
00:42:34Who was Finnegan?
00:42:35Just tell her that, Mr. Wise Guy.
00:42:36See what she says.
00:42:38He's dead.
00:42:40Finnegan is dead.
00:42:48Is that the way them big shot lawyers go at a case?
00:42:51That's the way Mr. Billy Flynn went at one.
00:42:54You'd think they'd throw him out of the courts.
00:42:56They did.
00:42:57Skullduggery in the first degree.
00:42:59All right, go on, Homer.
00:43:00I want to hear what you've got to say about the trial.
00:43:07The day of the big game dawned crisp and clear.
00:43:11This account of the Roxy Hart trial, ladies and gentlemen,
00:43:14comes to you through the courtesy of Dr. Habakkuk Twist,
00:43:17president and founder of the Twist Health Institute,
00:43:19who guarantees to cure you of cancer, dropsy, gout,
00:43:22Wright's disease, lumbago, rheumatism, or sleeping sickness,
00:43:25or any combination of such diseases,
00:43:27in five days by mail.
00:43:29Your play-by-play announcer for the trial
00:43:31will be that veteran crime expert of the Daily Gazette,
00:43:33Mr. Jake Callahan.
00:43:34Take it away, Jake Callahan.
00:43:36Now, at that point, you're weak.
00:43:40I just wept.
00:43:41Well, then weep again.
00:43:42And every other time I say so.
00:43:44You may not know much law,
00:43:46but I do know juries,
00:43:48and that's all we need.
00:43:52Where was I?
00:43:54Hmm.
00:43:55My innocent, unborn babe.
00:43:57Yeah.
00:43:58I'll knock your throw your head back, nobly.
00:44:04Good.
00:44:05But don't look at the jury on that.
00:44:06Just forget them.
00:44:07Seek the eyes of your husband.
00:44:09He has divorced me and cast me aside.
00:44:12But he is still the father of my child.
00:44:15And the man I really love.
00:44:16And the man I really love.
00:44:18Well, you don't have to get out of the floor.
00:44:20You said slump, didn't you?
00:44:21But gently, delicately, like a lady.
00:44:24You were going on like a sea lion.
00:44:27Now, the cross-examination.
00:44:28You better watch your step there, Harrison.
00:44:30If he starts calling me names...
00:44:31You'll cry.
00:44:32I'll crown him.
00:44:33Now, listen.
00:44:34No matter what he says,
00:44:35or how mad he gets,
00:44:36you shrink.
00:44:37Shrink!
00:44:40And cower.
00:44:42And cry.
00:44:45With a little flutter.
00:44:49Until the jury wants to rise up
00:44:50and tear him limb from limb!
00:44:52And never forget.
00:44:53Always you're frightened.
00:44:55And helpless.
00:44:56And demure.
00:44:59Demure, I said.
00:45:02Don't you know what demure means?
00:45:04Certainly.
00:45:05What?
00:45:07What?
00:45:09Demure means shy.
00:45:11Timid.
00:45:12Modest.
00:45:15Oh.
00:45:18His Honor's here, Counselor.
00:45:23Now, don't get excited.
00:45:24I'm not excited!
00:45:27Let me look at you.
00:45:28Turn around.
00:45:30Here are your flowers.
00:45:31Take it easy.
00:45:37And now, folks,
00:45:38it looks like yes, it is.
00:45:39Here she comes now.
00:45:40Roxy Hart.
00:45:41That game little sharpshooter.
00:45:43All right, Roxy.
00:45:44Let's see you kiss her.
00:45:46Hey, Bill.
00:45:47What's with the geraniums?
00:45:49Okay, here we go.
00:45:50Open.
00:45:51Flash.
00:45:52Back, Donald.
00:45:55Darling, we're all for you.
00:45:56You've got to come through.
00:45:57Listen, you.
00:45:58This dame is alone.
00:45:59There's no sign of her forlorn.
00:46:00Cut out this fool until she's free.
00:46:01All right, Bill.
00:46:02Hold it.
00:46:03Open.
00:46:04Flash.
00:46:05Roxy, will you say a word or two to America?
00:46:07Hello, America.
00:46:08Hello, Mama.
00:46:10Mrs. Hart and I have nothing to say
00:46:11except that win or lose,
00:46:13we expect to play the game fair and square
00:46:15and let the court decide
00:46:16on the plain unvarnished facts.
00:46:19That's fine.
00:46:20That, ladies and gentlemen,
00:46:21was Roxy Hart and Billy Flynn,
00:46:22a simple barefoot mouthpiece.
00:46:25And now, here comes Judge Canton.
00:46:30Roxy, look.
00:46:31Let's see.
00:46:32Order up and action.
00:46:39The Honorable Court is in session.
00:46:42Now, folks, the preliminaries are over
00:46:44and we have a jury.
00:46:45A blue ribbon jury.
00:46:46Men of property.
00:46:47Brokers or better.
00:46:49And they haven't had their eyes off Roxy
00:46:51since they sat down.
00:47:03Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:47:08Amos Hart.
00:47:10Take the stand.
00:47:19All right, take your shutters.
00:47:20Will you hold still a minute?
00:47:21Just hold it.
00:47:22Okay.
00:47:23Hold it.
00:47:24Open.
00:47:25Flash.
00:47:26That did it.
00:47:27All right, fellas, bring it up.
00:47:32Your Honor,
00:47:33it seems to me
00:47:34that your testimony
00:47:35by the Court of Control
00:47:36holds not much truth.
00:47:37I do.
00:47:52Will Your Honor
00:47:53kindly request the jury
00:47:54to give some small attention
00:47:55to the witness
00:47:56during this testimony?
00:47:59Certainly, certainly.
00:48:00Pay attention to the witness, gentlemen.
00:48:06What's your name?
00:48:07Amos Hart.
00:48:08What is your relationship
00:48:09to the defendant, Roxy Hart?
00:48:11She used to be my wife.
00:48:12Mr. Hart,
00:48:13will you tell the Court
00:48:14in your own words
00:48:15what, if anything,
00:48:17happened in the apartment
00:48:18occupied by you
00:48:19and your ex-wife
00:48:20on the evening of September 5th?
00:48:21Well, sir,
00:48:22on the evening of September 5th
00:48:24I arrived at my home,
00:48:251442 South Belrose,
00:48:27apartment 6 from the pool room
00:48:28where I hang out
00:48:29on 1426 South Hoffman Boulevard
00:48:31at 717 o'clock p.m.
00:48:33And what did you find,
00:48:35Mr. Hart?
00:48:36I found Mrs. Hart
00:48:37shooting a man.
00:48:38Hold it!
00:48:39Hold it!
00:48:40That's been found.
00:48:41All right, that's good.
00:48:42Everybody ready?
00:48:43All right, hold it!
00:48:44Open.
00:48:45Flash.
00:48:46That did it.
00:48:47All right, break it up, fellas.
00:48:50Why don't you sit down
00:48:51right now
00:48:52and write a nice long letter
00:48:53to Dr. Habakkuk Twist
00:48:54and tell him
00:48:55about your gallstones?
00:48:56Tell us the details, Mr. Hart.
00:48:58Well, sir,
00:48:59I come up the stairs
00:49:00and blam!
00:49:01I heard this pistol shot
00:49:02in my apartment.
00:49:03So I bust in
00:49:04and there she was
00:49:05banging away
00:49:06at this Casely fella.
00:49:07Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
00:49:09Bang?
00:49:10No, sir.
00:49:11Just four bangs
00:49:12and the one I heard
00:49:13on the stairs.
00:49:14Five bangs altogether.
00:49:15Well, how do you like that?
00:49:17Did she speak?
00:49:18Was she saying anything?
00:49:19Yes, sir.
00:49:20She kept saying,
00:49:21take that, you cur,
00:49:22and that, and that.
00:49:23Can you beat it?
00:49:24I never said cur in my life.
00:49:26Your Honor,
00:49:27I protest against
00:49:28these interruptions.
00:49:29The defendant
00:49:30will keep quiet.
00:49:31Please.
00:49:36Did you say anything?
00:49:37Yes, sir.
00:49:38I said, Roxy,
00:49:39you ought not
00:49:40to be shooting
00:49:41that man like that.
00:49:42In other words,
00:49:43you protested.
00:49:44Yes, sir.
00:49:45And that was
00:49:46about what time?
00:49:477.19.
00:49:487.20, wasn't it?
00:49:50He said 7.19.
00:49:52I must insist, Your Honor,
00:49:53the counsel for the defense...
00:49:54And I am just
00:49:55as insistent, Your Honor,
00:49:56that this witness
00:49:57give a good performance.
00:49:58Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:49:59I resent that implication.
00:50:00Now, if the witness
00:50:01needs more rehearsal,
00:50:02I am...
00:50:03Take that back.
00:50:04Gentlemen, gentlemen.
00:50:06Your witness.
00:50:20When did you file
00:50:21suit for divorce, Mr. Hart?
00:50:22October the 15th.
00:50:24Was there any particular reason
00:50:25for your filing suit
00:50:26on this exact date?
00:50:27Well, sir,
00:50:28the papers came out
00:50:29with a story that...
00:50:30Well, the statement that...
00:50:32Well, there was
00:50:33going to be a little stranger.
00:50:35Mr. Hart,
00:50:36is this grounds for divorce?
00:50:38A little too much
00:50:39of a stranger.
00:50:40But they couldn't put
00:50:41anything over on you, eh?
00:50:42I'll say they couldn't.
00:50:44Had your wife apprised you
00:50:45of her condition
00:50:46prior to said statement?
00:50:48How's that?
00:50:49Had your wife told you
00:50:50of this...
00:50:51this stranger?
00:50:53No, sir.
00:50:54No, sir.
00:50:55Neither one of them.
00:51:00Now, tell us, Mr. Hart,
00:51:01do you expect this jury
00:51:03to believe that,
00:51:04with all due respect to the press,
00:51:06that our courts
00:51:07would grant you a divorce
00:51:08merely on a newspaper story?
00:51:10No, sir.
00:51:11I had a statement
00:51:12that she'd made
00:51:13and signed herself.
00:51:14All about her and this...
00:51:15Where did you get the statement?
00:51:16From him.
00:51:17I protest, Your Honor!
00:51:18So,
00:51:19the state prosecutor
00:51:21gave you a statement
00:51:22that enabled you
00:51:23to cast aside the woman
00:51:24that you had sworn
00:51:25to love and cherish,
00:51:26for better or worse.
00:51:28And what, Mr. Hart,
00:51:29did you give
00:51:30the state prosecutor in return?
00:51:31This is too much!
00:51:32I resent
00:51:33these infamous allegations!
00:51:34A deal was made!
00:51:36Take that back!
00:51:37I repeat,
00:51:38a thieves' bargain was made!
00:51:39A forged statement
00:51:41in exchange
00:51:42for this man's lying testimony!
00:51:44Why, you cheap,
00:51:45double-crossing shyster!
00:51:47No man can call me that
00:51:48and live!
00:51:49Come on, Michael.
00:51:50Fire!
00:51:51Fire!
00:51:52Fire!
00:51:53Fire!
00:51:54Fire!
00:51:55Fire!
00:51:56Fire!
00:51:57Fire!
00:51:58Fire!
00:51:59Fire!
00:52:00Fire!
00:52:01Fire!
00:52:02On the ground!
00:52:03Break it up, boss!
00:52:20Listen, Mr. Flynn, a photo finish may be good enough for you, but for me anything less than
00:52:35eight lengths is too close.
00:52:36That's a hanging district attorney out there.
00:52:38I tell you, there is no occasion whatever for alarm.
00:52:41All we need is one juror, and already I've got that number one guy, that big Irish foreman
00:52:46right there.
00:52:47The worst we can get is a hung jury.
00:52:50Or a hung Roxy.
00:52:51That's not good enough.
00:52:52So far I've been doing exactly what Jake and that agent said, let you carry the ball, but
00:52:58I don't like that DA.
00:52:59I'm scared of him.
00:53:00Oh, listen, listen.
00:53:01Give me time, will you?
00:53:03Listen, Mr. Flynn, the way I'm beginning to feel about my neck, I want you to get a fellow
00:53:07in here by the name of Finnegan, Michael Finnegan, and get him in here fast because we need him
00:53:10and I ain't kidding.
00:53:11Finnegan?
00:53:12Finnegan?
00:53:13Finnegan the janitor.
00:53:14Put him on the stand and ask him who he sold his gun to.
00:53:15Ask him what Amy said to him that very morning.
00:53:16Ask him.
00:53:17Ask him.
00:53:18Mr. Flynn, not a chance, buddy.
00:53:19But it's important, I tell you.
00:53:20I don't see anybody now.
00:53:21Roxy.
00:53:22Why, you are a newspaper man.
00:53:23We got the biggest story of the century right in our midst.
00:53:28Listen, if this game swings, it'll be a story you can tell your grandchildren about.
00:53:32Why, you fool.
00:53:33Finnegan could tell him that that very morning.
00:53:35Roxy, we can't get Finnegan.
00:53:38Of course you can.
00:53:41What do you mean?
00:53:44He's dead.
00:53:45Dead?
00:53:46Ah, no, he can't be.
00:53:49He's dead.
00:53:50He's been dead for two weeks.
00:53:51We got to do it my way.
00:53:52But he can't be.
00:53:53He can't do that to me.
00:53:54I've been dependent on him.
00:53:55He heard him say it.
00:53:56He sold him the gun.
00:53:57He's the only one who...
00:53:58Listen, I didn't do it.
00:53:59I never had anything to do with him.
00:54:00He was drunk, but I could have got him out.
00:54:01I could have handled him.
00:54:02He doesn't have to shoot him.
00:54:03Finnegan can tell him.
00:54:04Don't you understand?
00:54:05Roxy.
00:54:06Roxy.
00:54:07It's important, Roxy.
00:54:08I talked to that janitor.
00:54:09I interviewed him.
00:54:11Finnegan?
00:54:12You did?
00:54:13Let him in, Mike.
00:54:14Mr. Howard, on the day after the killing of Fred Casely,
00:54:15did you have a conversation with one Michael Finnegan,
00:54:16janitor of the apartment house in which the Harts lived?
00:54:17Yes, sir.
00:54:18Tell us what was said.
00:54:19When I talked to him...
00:54:20Your Honor, I object to the witness answering this question
00:54:21on the grounds that it would be purely hearsay.
00:54:22Why wasn't this man Finnegan brought here himself
00:54:23to tell what he knows?
00:54:24Well, he's dead, Your Honor.
00:54:25He died two weeks ago.
00:54:26Was there any other witness to the conversation?
00:54:27No, Your Honor.
00:54:28I object to the witness answering this question
00:54:29on the grounds that it would be purely hearsay.
00:54:30Why wasn't this man Finnegan brought here himself
00:54:31to tell what he knows?
00:54:33I object, Your Honor, to any further remarks
00:54:34for this witness.
00:54:35The witness will leave the stand.
00:54:36But this is important.
00:54:37It has an important bearing on...
00:54:38Such testimony is inadmissible.
00:54:39Leave the stand at once, sir.
00:54:40Step down, Mr. Howard.
00:54:41The jury will disregard everything
00:54:42that was said for the witness.
00:54:43I object to the witness answering this question
00:54:44on the grounds that it would be purely hearsay.
00:54:45Why wasn't this man Finnegan brought here himself
00:54:46to tell what he knows?
00:54:47Well, he's dead, Your Honor.
00:54:48He died two weeks ago.
00:54:49Was there any other witness to the conversation?
00:54:50No, sir.
00:54:51Objection sustained.
00:54:52You mean I can't take this subject...
00:54:53I object, Your Honor, to any further remarks
00:54:54for this witness.
00:54:55The witness will leave the stand.
00:54:56But this is important.
00:54:58The jury will disregard everything
00:54:59that was said for the witness.
00:55:08You see, in New York, or Los Angeles,
00:55:10or some other sissy town,
00:55:11that'd be the end of it.
00:55:13Nothing but law.
00:55:14But in Chicago, the law doesn't count.
00:55:16It's justice we're after.
00:55:18What do you say, kid?
00:55:21I'm scared.
00:55:22You can do it, you know.
00:55:27They're gonna hang me.
00:55:29Roxy, you know who's sitting out front there.
00:55:32I don't care. I'm scared.
00:55:34Ziegfeld.
00:55:36I don't care.
00:55:39Who?
00:55:40Ziegfeld, the greatest musical producer in the world.
00:55:45No kid.
00:55:52Mrs. Hart, take the stand.
00:55:58All right, all right, hold it.
00:56:00Hold it, Roxy. Let's take a nice one now.
00:56:02Big smile, honey, that's it.
00:56:04Open. Flash.
00:56:05That did it.
00:56:06All right, fellas, break it up.
00:56:18You sound so incensed,
00:56:19you want to admit it because the picture
00:56:20is holding nothing but the truth?
00:56:22Yeah, I do.
00:56:23Yeah, I do.
00:56:34No drugs, no surgery, no down payment.
00:56:40Where do you live, Mrs. Hart?
00:56:42County jail.
00:56:43When did you first meet Fred Casely?
00:56:46Ten minutes past five, January 8th.
00:56:48Where?
00:56:50At a bus stop.
00:56:51Tell the jury the circumstances.
00:56:54Well, it was raining
00:56:56and I was standing there with my girlfriend.
00:56:58Mr. Casely drove up in his coupe and he says,
00:57:00it's a nice day for ducks.
00:57:02And we said, yes.
00:57:03Both of you?
00:57:06She said it first, then I said it.
00:57:09And then he said, could he drive us somewhere?
00:57:12Well, you know how crowded the buses are.
00:57:15So you said yes.
00:57:18She said it first, then I said it.
00:57:21And so he drove you home?
00:57:23Yes, sir.
00:57:24How did Mr. Casely conduct himself during this drive?
00:57:27Unusually friendly in any way?
00:57:29Oh, no, sir.
00:57:30He's a perfect gent in every sense of the word.
00:57:32All he said was, wouldn't I like to have a screen test?
00:57:36When was the next time you saw him?
00:57:39The next day.
00:57:40It rained again.
00:57:42Would you say then that Casely was now pursuing you?
00:57:45I'll say.
00:57:47Other than these innocent rides home in the rain,
00:57:49did you ever have any social engagements with this man, Casely?
00:57:53Yes, sir.
00:57:54Once.
00:57:55And that was?
00:57:56The policeman's benefit ball.
00:57:58He asked you to go to this ball and you consented.
00:58:01Although you were married, Roxy?
00:58:04Yes, sir.
00:58:06You believe in the sacredness of the marriage tie, don't you?
00:58:09I object, Your Honor.
00:58:10What the witness believes is immaterial.
00:58:12You know that the marriage tie is sacred, don't you?
00:58:15Oh, yes, sir.
00:58:17That's what I kept telling him all along.
00:58:20Tell us then why you went to the policeman's ball that night with this man, Casely.
00:58:25Oh, I don't know.
00:58:27So many things happen, you don't know why.
00:58:31I wouldn't have if my...
00:58:34Mr. Hart and me hadn't quarreled that morning.
00:58:37Oh, Roxy.
00:58:39And who was to blame?
00:58:41Me, I guess.
00:58:43It seemed like I just couldn't stop pestering him.
00:58:46Pestering him?
00:58:47What about?
00:58:48Because I wanted a home.
00:58:50A real home with little kiddies.
00:58:52That's why.
00:58:53Hold it.
00:58:54Hold it.
00:58:55Hold it, Roxy.
00:58:56That's it.
00:58:57Get a little closer, Bill.
00:58:58That's it.
00:58:59Talk a little kiddies.
00:59:00That's it.
00:59:01Hold it.
00:59:02Open.
00:59:03Flash.
00:59:04That did it.
00:59:05All right.
00:59:06Break it up, fellas.
00:59:07Now, what happened at the policeman's ball?
00:59:10He gave me a drink.
00:59:12Really?
00:59:13What kind of a drink?
00:59:16Oh, I don't know.
00:59:20It just tasted bad.
00:59:22Nasty.
00:59:24If that's what whiskey is.
00:59:30That is just the kind of loose talk that is giving whiskey a bad name.
00:59:34Did Casely misunderstand your ambition to put your daughter in jail?
00:59:39Ambition to put your talents on the stage?
00:59:42Oh, yes, indeed, sir.
00:59:44Roxy Hart, the state charges you with the murder of Fred Casely.
00:59:48Guilty or not guilty?
00:59:50Not guilty.
00:59:51Oh, not guilty.
00:59:53Not guilty.
00:59:54I may have killed him, yes, but not murder.
00:59:56Oh, not that.
01:00:02Do you remember Friday, September the 5th?
01:00:05Yes, sir.
01:00:09Tell the jury now, in your own way, the happenings of that day in the late afternoon.
01:00:15Now, take your time and speak clearly.
01:00:27Well, that afternoon, at Mr. Casely's request,
01:00:30I went to his office and gave an audition for a Mr. Marcus.
01:00:33What kind of an audition, my dear?
01:00:35I did the black hula.
01:00:36The black hula?
01:00:37It's a mixture of the hula hula and the black bottom.
01:00:39I invented it myself.
01:00:40That's enough.
01:00:42Continue.
01:00:44So, when I finished, Mr. Marcus turned to Mr. Casely and said,
01:00:47Are you kidding? And walked out.
01:00:49Go on.
01:00:50So I took the cottage grove car to South Melrose and stopped at a grocer's to buy some baking powder for some biscuits for breakfast.
01:00:56He loved my biscuits.
01:00:59And this was about what time?
01:01:016.11 p.m.
01:01:03So I was singing about my housework when the doorbell rang and thinking it was my girlfriend, Irma.
01:01:07Never mind what you thought.
01:01:09I went to the door and who do you think it was?
01:01:12Casely?
01:01:13It wasn't his uncle.
01:01:15And, oh, was he intoxicated.
01:01:17So I said, Go away, Mr. Casely.
01:01:20You are intoxicated.
01:01:22But do you think he'd pay attention to that?
01:01:23He entered?
01:01:25He forced his way into my presence.
01:01:28Now, be strong, my dear.
01:01:29Bear up.
01:01:31So I said, You certainly got to crush Mr. Casely and please beat it.
01:01:34Because how do you think this is going to look to my...
01:01:37to my husband?
01:01:39And he still wouldn't go.
01:01:41Oh, he was really crocked.
01:01:42I mean, intoxicated.
01:01:45Well, why didn't you scream?
01:01:47Oh, I was ashamed for the neighbors to know.
01:01:50You know how you'd feel.
01:01:53But I kept saying to him we could easily get an awful jam here.
01:01:56So finally he said if I just take one drink with him, he'd beat it.
01:02:00Oh, I did.
01:02:01And then?
01:02:02Oh, he was really simply insane about me, you know.
01:02:05But you?
01:02:07Oh, I loved my husband.
01:02:10I really did.
01:02:13And when you told him that, what did he say?
01:02:17Nothing.
01:02:18He just grabbed me.
01:02:20And where were you at this time?
01:02:22Uh, standing by the pianola.
01:02:24Show the jury.
01:02:27Take it easy.
01:02:30Here.
01:02:31And Casely?
01:02:32On the floor. Uh, by the door.
01:02:35Roxy, tell the jury what happened next.
01:02:40Well, it just happened that Mr. Hart's revolver was laying on the telephone table.
01:02:45And Mr. Casely made a grab for it and I said, cut that out, Mr. Casely.
01:02:48And I knocked it out of his hand and it fell on the floor and we both grabbed for it.
01:02:51We both grabbed for it.
01:02:54Yes?
01:02:55I got it.
01:02:57And then he started for me.
01:02:59I can see him now with that awful look in his eye.
01:03:01A wild look.
01:03:02What kind of a look?
01:03:03Describe it to the audience.
01:03:04Uh, to the jury.
01:03:05Oh, it was terrible.
01:03:06Angry like a crazy man.
01:03:08Did you think he might kill you?
01:03:09Oh, yes, sir.
01:03:10I know if once he got that gun.
01:03:11It was his life then or yours.
01:03:12Oh, yes, sir.
01:03:13But he still kept coming toward me.
01:03:15On and on with that awful look.
01:03:18That wild look.
01:03:19And then I shut my eyes.
01:03:21Go on, Roxy.
01:03:22And then I fired.
01:03:24In defense of your life.
01:03:27My life?
01:03:29Yes.
01:03:30But not just mine.
01:03:33Hold it.
01:03:34Hold it.
01:03:35Hold it.
01:03:36Hold it, Roxy.
01:03:37Let's take a nice one.
01:03:38All right, get in a little closer.
01:03:39Oh, that's right.
01:03:40All right, everybody.
01:03:41Hold it.
01:03:42Open.
01:03:43Flash.
01:03:44That did it.
01:03:45Drag it up.
01:03:46Do you suffer from spots before the eyes?
01:03:47Now, here's where you weep.
01:03:51You may take her life, gentlemen, as the state asks.
01:03:54But that won't bring Casely back.
01:03:57That's always news to a jury.
01:03:59And for what purpose?
01:04:01To protect society?
01:04:03Well, weep, you fool.
01:04:07Open your mouth.
01:04:09Give me that gum.
01:04:11Give me that gum.
01:04:17You may take her life, gentlemen, as the state asks.
01:04:20But that won't bring Casely back.
01:04:22And for what purpose?
01:04:24To protect society?
01:04:26Do you fear that weeping girl?
01:04:33Do you?
01:04:34No.
01:04:35Do you?
01:04:36No.
01:04:38For her reformation?
01:04:40She learned her lesson, gentlemen.
01:04:42In those dark hours, alone in her cell.
01:04:45For punishment?
01:04:46Great heavens, gentlemen.
01:04:48Hasn't she been punished enough?
01:04:50No.
01:04:51None of these.
01:04:52But to satisfy the greedy ambition of the prosecution.
01:04:55Prosecution?
01:04:56No.
01:04:57Persecution.
01:04:59You are asked for a life, gentlemen, by one who would climb to fame on dead bodies.
01:05:04We cannot give her happiness, no.
01:05:06It is too late for that.
01:05:08Betrayed.
01:05:09Crushed.
01:05:10If we only let her pick up the broken fragments of her life, the tangled threads, we can give her another chance.
01:05:16Quiet.
01:05:18Gentlemen, if you convict this delicate child, it will be like taking these fragile flowers and crushing them into dead and broken blossoms.
01:05:30No.
01:05:31No.
01:05:32Oh, no.
01:05:35Oh, no.
01:05:38Stand back, gentlemen.
01:05:44The defense rests, Your Honor.
01:05:46Hold it.
01:05:47Hold it, Bill.
01:05:48That's fine.
01:05:49A little this way.
01:05:50That's right, Bill.
01:05:51All right, now, everybody, hold it.
01:05:52Open.
01:05:53Flash.
01:05:54That did it.
01:05:57Get ready, boys.
01:06:14Boy.
01:06:44The defendant, please rise.
01:06:55We, the jury, find the defendant...
01:07:13Hey, you roxy heart, brawler, brawler, roxy heart, sit on the river and a brawler, brawler, sew it.
01:07:36Thank you, thank you, thank you, all of my dear, dear friends.
01:07:41The man comes into your home, you've got a right to protect your home, haven't ya?
01:07:53Sure, sure.
01:07:55All I know is the judge said, bring you in.
01:07:57You tell him all about it.
01:07:58But if you find a man in your home, you've got a right to do something about it.
01:08:04Jake.
01:08:05Jake, hey, wait a minute, Jake.
01:08:06I'm sorry, kid, it's all over.
01:08:08Sorry, kid, it's all over.
01:08:09You're yesterday's news.
01:08:12Did you shoot Casely?
01:08:14Yes, but I couldn't...
01:08:15Then have no fear.
01:08:16Justice will prevail if we have to take your case
01:08:18to the Supreme Court of the United States.
01:08:20The whole thing is persecution.
01:08:22A deal was made.
01:08:24Open.
01:08:24Flash.
01:08:25I did it.
01:08:26Well, for crying out loud.
01:08:28Oh, Roxy, I can't tell you how happy I am.
01:08:31They never even let me thank them.
01:08:33Well, they didn't come in for so long.
01:08:35Oh, darling, you're free now, you know.
01:08:37We can go out, we can have dinner together,
01:08:38see a show, be together, dance together.
01:08:41Mrs. Hart, I just want to congratulate you.
01:08:44Oh, thank you, thank you.
01:08:46I don't want to be too forward,
01:08:47but could I give you a lift somewhere in my Packard?
01:08:50Packard?
01:08:52Roxy.

01:09:00What a day.
01:09:02So that was Roxy, gents.
01:09:05And the bad old days.
