00:00This is my boss, Jonathan Hahn, a self-made millionaire. He's quite a guy.
00:17This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous. What a terrific lady.
00:27By the way, my name is Max.
00:31I take care of them, which ain't easy.
00:34Because their hobby is murder.
01:00Tommy, I know the Dodgers are out of it, but are you in?
01:10Tommy, I know the Dodgers are out of it, but are you in?
01:24What the hell good is four out of seven?
01:32No wonder you lost to the Yankees.
01:34My fault.
01:35Sid, what have you got?
01:42Ace is full.
01:44I'm ruined.
01:46Isn't that pretty?
01:47I got burned.
01:48I got burned.
01:49Oh, look at that lovely lot.
01:52What?
01:53What's the name of the game?
01:54Cut them.
01:57Here you are, Jerry.
01:58Oh, thanks.
02:00Can you buy that on the last card?
02:01When you're hot, you're hot.
02:02When you're hot, you're hot.
02:03Five card draw.
02:05Hey, we've been invited to a wedding in Monte Carlo.
02:07Really?
02:08Who's?
02:10Mickey Stefanos.
02:11No kidding.
02:12Big time.
02:13Very big money.
02:15Didn't you once have a thing with her, Jonathan?
02:16No.
02:17She and Mr. H were just good friends.
02:20They were more than just friends, Max.
02:23He explained the whole thing to me, didn't you, darling?
02:26Is anybody going to play?
02:27Come on.
02:28Annie up.
02:30That's strange.
02:31Are you in, Jonathan?
02:32Sure.
02:34She's marrying Alexander Constantine.
02:37So what's so strange?
02:38No, thanks, Max.
02:40He was her father's right-hand man.
02:42She couldn't stand him.
02:43She used to call him Old Steely Eyes.
02:45All people change.
02:47I'll open.
02:49I haven't seen Nicky for seven years.
02:52I'll call.
02:54Why would they send a cable instead of an invitation?
02:58Jonathan, are you in?
02:59And why would they send it four days before the wedding?
03:01Jonathan.
03:02No, I'm out.
03:04And why hasn't there been word won about this in the newspaper?
03:06I mean, this is a big wedding.
03:08What is this, multiple choice?
03:11I'm in.
03:12Me too.
03:14Cards, folks?
03:15Uh, yeah, please.
03:16Give me three.
03:18Two.
03:20I'll start packing.
03:22We better start packing.
03:24Jonathan, not now.
03:25Look, darling, there's something going on, and I'm gonna find out more.
03:28Maybe we better stay a while.
03:31If you keep winning like that, you're not going to be invited to play.
03:43How could they not invite me to play?
03:44It's my house.
03:45You don't understand.
03:46I'm not going to invite you.
03:47A sore loser.
03:48You want me to make it up, do you?
03:49It's a pleasure to welcome you both to Monte Carlo again.

08:41from the moment she decided to marry him
08:44nikki sees no one speaks to no one
08:47i begged her to tell me the truth she refuses to speak even to me
08:50i think that nikki is in danger

09:59nikki's fiance
10:00how do you do
10:01won't you sit down
10:03well i mustn't stay
10:04but er nikki asked me to call upon you
10:06she felt that
10:07perhaps this morning she wasn't as welcoming as she might have been
10:10no not at all
10:11i gather there was some confusion about your invitations to the wedding
10:14yes er you might say that
10:16well it's only going to be a very small affair you understand
10:19no publicity just a few close friends
10:22i must confess that i had hoped to surprise nikki with your presence
10:28you see i sent you the invitation
10:30i mailed it to you without her knowledge
10:33but we should be extremely disappointed
10:36if you're not at the wedding
10:39well we're awfully glad to get the mystery of the invitation solved aren't we darling
10:44i expect it was something of a surprise to you jonathan that nikki finally yielded to my entreaties
10:55yes
10:57it certainly was a lesson in persistence
11:01yes well nikki is not the person that you knew you understand
11:05she's become very grown up now
11:08much more mature
11:09she has her own set of values
11:12indeed we look forward to a very long and successful marriage
11:17cheers
11:22well i must be off
11:29mrs hart if there's anything i can do to make your stay in monte carlo more agreeable please don't hesitate to call upon me
11:35thank you very much
11:37oh
11:38johnson
11:41holly x
11:43i wonder how many other people are going to claim they sent us that invitation
11:50you weren't exactly
11:52overly friendly to mr constantin
11:55there never was a lot of love lost between us
11:58Between us
12:21It's spring south of France beautiful day beautiful lady
12:28And I love you
12:30You're so romantic
12:34I wonder where Paul is

12:38I'm having such a lovely time
12:40Well he said he'd be around three
12:42There he is

13:06Oh
13:08Oh
13:10John
13:12John
13:18John
13:20He looks like Alex was starting to play for keeps
13:22That's what Paul gets for trying to talk to us
13:26What do we get for trying to listen
13:34Well the police couldn't have been nicer
13:36But they said there are so many fiats in town
13:38That without a license number there's nothing they can do to him
13:40You suggest they question Alex
13:42They didn't seem too eager to offend him
13:46Oh yes Mademoiselle Nikki Stefanos please
13:48Jonathan Hart
13:50The same one
13:52Well when she can come to the phone
13:54Would you please ask her to call me at the Excelsior Hotel

26:06Make wondrous love.
26:10We didn't mean to meddle.
26:12It's only that marriage is such an important choice.
26:16I knew that.
26:18Your father was a good man.
26:22I had a great deal of respect for him.
26:25I was proud to have him as my friend.
26:28And I loved him very much, Nicky.
26:34It hurts me to see this happening to you.
26:38To his daughter.
26:47Goodbye, Nicky.
26:49Goodbye.

27:27the road it hit two women one of them was killed alex was following behind tail he got there before
27:40the police did and took care of things at first i blessed him for it and about a week later

27:56you either marry him or tail goes to prison now you can understand
28:02teo is my brother the last of my family i love him and i promised my father that i would look after
28:12him does alex stand to get a share of the stefanos empire when you marry
28:17he's forcing me to sign an agreement once the marriage takes place he has control of everything
28:24so you see there is nothing you can do
28:29i don't know there's still a little time before the wedding
28:35please understand the two men i love teo and paul will be destroyed if i don't go through with this
28:43trust us nikki will you do that just trust us

31:06of course i knew it was you who else could sir rodney eastminster have been
31:14it's good to see you smiling again lately there has been little reason to
31:21i should have gone to the police right away
31:25but i was frightened when the longer i waited the harder it became and now one woman dead
31:34another crippled my sister forced into a marriage she doesn't want
31:40it is wrong i must let the truth be known
31:48if it is the truth i was there you don't remember anything no not after i left the party when was that
32:01exactly maybe two maybe three
32:07that hour of the morning a country road two women on it who were they
32:18the one who died was uh marie sagana tourist from geneva her friend the
32:27one who was crippled is uh janine duval she is uh
32:34she was a dancer and she agreed to remain silent yes alex and his uh money can be very persuasive
32:48why don't we see how persuasive mr constantine was
32:59i bear no grudges i tell myself this was my fate perhaps it was meant to be
33:06but surely you want more than just this sufficient for my needs
33:13i prepare my own food i listen to my music sometimes i dream of dancing again but
33:20i know it is only a dream
33:24would you care for some wine oh thank you mademoiselle duval
33:29we lied to you when we said we were friends of the stefanos family actually we're business
33:39acquaintances competitors if you like
33:45why did you lie to me to gain your confidence it's worth millions to us to destroy the stefanos entrists
33:53if you could tell the police the truth about marie sagana's death the stefanos family would be ruined
34:04i told you i bear no grudges
34:08what's worth millions to us could be worth a great deal to you
34:13i do not understand these things i know nothing of wealth monsieur
34:29you think about it we'll be at the hotel excelsior
34:33what do you think i'm not sure i'll see what more i can find out about her why don't you look
34:50into the tragic death of marie sagana
35:04all the swiss insurance companies employ such attractive young investigators
