00:00You have a date with the angel starring Betty White, Bill Williams as Gus Angel presented
00:28by Plymouth, star of the forward look, and the Plymouth Dealers of America.
00:41The time, about eight months after Vicki and Gus Angel were married.
00:45The characters, three strangers.
00:48The plot, truth is stranger than friction.
00:58There'll be four of us, sir.
01:01Good evening.
01:02How are you?
01:03Come here, please.
01:03This way.
01:04Mr. and Mrs. Clemson are on their way over.
01:17Aren't those caricatures great?
01:20There's Clark Gable.
01:21Where?
01:23Not about your skin like that.
01:24He's up there.
01:28Oh, look, sweetie, there's Lana Turner, and there's William Frawley, and there's Alan Ladd,
01:37Tallulah Bankhead.
01:39I didn't know you were so starstruck.
01:41Me?
01:42You?
01:43Oh, don't be silly.
01:45I'm not at all, and you know it.
01:47I just think actors lead very interesting lives, that's all.
01:51Sure you do.
01:57Gus!
01:57Huh?
01:58There's Liberace.
02:00Where is he?
02:01Don't look.
02:01Don't, don't, don't, don't look.
02:03Honey, how can I see him if I don't look?
02:06Well, just don't be obvious.
02:07They don't like to be stared at.
02:11Look up this wall to that beam, as though you were looking at the pictures.
02:17Now, follow the beam across.
02:19Down the other side.
02:25Oh, honey, will you tell me where he's sitting, and never mind the radar?
02:36He's getting up.
02:37Shh, don't look.
02:44Hello, Tom.
02:45How are you?
02:48Hello.
02:54Well, that was nice of him to say hello.
02:57He doesn't know me.
02:59Who said hello?
03:00Liberace.
03:01He probably thought he knew me from someplace.
03:04Honey, I was sitting right here, and if he said hello to you, I'm Donald Duck.
03:07We're going to join the angel.
03:11Wonderful to wait in for you.
03:13Hello, sweetie.
03:14Hi, Kitty, huh?
03:15Did you get a place to pass?
03:17Honey, he made it.
03:18Finally got him.
03:19Nice.
03:19There you go.
03:21Oh, I love it.
03:23Guess who just said hello to Vicki?
03:26Liberace, no less.
03:28Vicki, did he really?
03:30Well, he must have thought I was somebody else.
03:32He sure must have, because he said hello to somebody else.
03:38They're all the same, Gus.
03:40Wilma claims that Clark Gable waved at her once at a benefit.
03:44She forgets that Clark Gable was on the stage, and she was in the last role of the Hollywood Bowl.
03:50I don't ask you to believe me.
03:52We don't.
03:53We don't.
04:02Well, how do you do?
04:05I just ran out of gas in front of your house.
04:08Would you mind if I use your phone to call the auto club?
04:23I just ran out of gas in front of your house with...
04:26Did I say something offensive?
04:31Oh, no, the phone.
04:36The phone's right over there.
04:37Oh, thank you.
04:41You are Dennis Day, aren't you?
04:43Yes, that's right.
04:44You know, it's funny how things happen just when you're in the biggest hurry.
04:47Let's see.
04:48Oh, here it is.
04:49The auto club.
04:50Hmm.
05:01Hello, uh, auto club?
05:05Say, uh, this is Dennis Day.
05:07I just...
05:08No, Dennis Day.
05:12Day.
05:12D-A-Y.
05:15Yeah, that's right.
05:15Look, I ran out of gas on Filbert Street.
05:18Would you send sir?
05:19Oh, um, what's the address here, please?
05:21Oh, 1712 Filbert Road.
05:23Oh, um, 1712 Filbert Road.
05:27Yeah, and will you please tell him to hurry?
05:28I'm due at a recording session in a half hour.
05:30Right.
05:31Thanks very much.
05:33Thank you very much, miss.
05:35Mrs.
05:36Mrs. Angel.
05:39Couldn't I fix you a cup of coffee or something?
05:40You have to wait anyway.
05:42Oh, gee, that's very nice of you.
05:44If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like a nice glass of ice water.
05:48Ice water.
05:49Ice water?
05:53Couldn't I fix you a sandwich or...
05:55Oh, no, no, ice water would be fine.
05:58Just...
05:58Just ice water.
05:59Just ice water.
05:59Oh, thank you very much.
06:23Pretty thirsty.
06:24Hi.
06:35Hi.
06:36You seem a little nervous.
06:41I guess I just can't get used to the idea of Dennis Day in my house.
06:46I'm afraid I'm one of your fans, Mr. Day.
06:48Oh, don't be afraid of a thing like that.
06:50And incidentally, my fans call me Dennis.
06:54Oh, no, really.
06:55I...
06:55I have almost all your records.
06:58Yeah?
06:59And I know all about your wife and Peggy and your five wonderful children.
07:04Oh, Peggy's going to be glad to hear about the five kids.
07:06She thinks we have six.
07:14I heard you say you were going to make a record.
07:18How do you go about picking a hit song, Mr. Day?
07:21I see you'll never call me Dennis unless I call you...
07:24Vicky.
07:26Oh, Vicky.
07:27Well, answer your question, Vicky.
07:28You know, I don't think anyone knows what really makes a hit record or a hit song or a hit anything, for that matter.
07:35I never thought of it that way.
07:37No, really, it's true.
07:38You know, it's a strange thing about show business, but you can't figure out what the public is going to like.
07:43I mean, what they're going to accept.
07:44You take...
07:45Well, take Billy Williams.
07:46You know, for years he's been singing, and he finally made it with his wonderful record of that old standard.
07:50I'm going to sit right down and write myself a letter.
07:55Oh, yeah.
07:56Oh, yeah.
07:57And I'll make believe it came from you.
08:01Oh, yeah.
08:02Oh, yeah.
08:03I'm going to sit right down and write myself a letter.
08:08Oh, yeah.
08:09And I'll make believe it came from you.
08:14Oh, yeah.
08:15I'm going to make believe it came from you.
08:21Oh, no.
08:28Maybe the best way for me to get a hit might be to just, I don't know, change my style.
08:32Stop being so legit.
08:34You know, and just let myself go.
08:36Like, one for the money, two for the show.
08:39Three to get ready now.
08:40Go, cat, go.
08:41But don't you?
08:43Well, I'm going to be quite you.
08:44You can do anything but lay off the blue suede shoes.
08:48Oh, go.
08:49Go.
08:50Go.
08:50Cat, go.
08:51Go.
08:52Go.
08:52Go.
08:52Cat, go.
08:53Go.
08:54Go.
08:54Go.
08:55Go.
08:55Oh, oh, oh, oh, I got a seizure.
09:06Gee, I hope that fellow with the gas shows up pretty soon because I'm sure to be late for
09:09the recording session.
09:10Oh, I wish my husband were here to hear this.
09:14I know how busy you must be, Mr. Dave.
09:16Where do you ever find time to learn new songs?
09:18Well, I'll tell you, Vicki.
09:19You see, right now I'm up in Vegas and the orchestra up there, they made a recording for
09:23me, you know, without any lyrics.
09:25Well, what's the name of the song?
09:26I want to buy it the minute it comes out.
09:28Well, it's a, it's a ballad.
09:29It's called Smile at Me and it, hey, wait a minute.
09:34Vicki, would, would you listen to the song if I sang it for you?
09:37Me?
09:37I knew you would.
09:38Now, don't move.
09:39I'll be right back.
09:39I'll get the record.
09:45Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
09:46I hope you'll forgive me for stepping out of character for a really big moment, one I've
09:52been eagerly awaiting for weeks.
09:54For the many of you who have asked, what will the leader do next, I'm thrilled to present
09:59Plymouth's proud reply.
10:02Ladies and gentlemen, this is the moment.
10:09Plymouth, star of the forward look, car with the forward look, tomorrow's new car is
10:23Plymouth's new day, Plymouth, star of the forward look, car with the forward look, Plymouth
10:32leads to every way.
10:34So meet the star of the show, with brilliant new beauty revealed.
10:41Meet the star of the show, star of all cars in the low price field is Plymouth.
10:50Plymouth.
10:51Plymouth, car that's the head for keeps, car that's the head for keeps, Plymouth, star
11:07of the forward look.
11:15Here it is, the big, beautiful new Plymouth, and it's simply wonderful.
11:20Well, star of the forward look.
11:29This is the luxurious four-door sedan.
11:31Isn't the new grill beautiful?
11:33Everything about this new Plymouth is years ahead.
11:36And this Plymouth Suburban is the biggest station wagon of them all, designed for any kind of
11:48a job.
11:49It has more new, exclusive features than any other station wagon in the low-priced field.
11:54A wonderful car to own and drive.
11:56And here's the new Plymouth convertible, just like mine.
12:06Never before has so much beauty and riding fun been built into any car.
12:11Just drive one.
12:12Yes, sir.
12:13One look, one ride, and you'll agree.
12:15There's no catching Plymouth now.
12:17Plymouth really is ahead for keeps.
12:20Plymouth, car that's the head for keeps.
12:28Car that's the head for keeps.
12:32Plymouth, star of the forward look.
12:35Now, look, the lyrics of this song are all about Paris.
12:45So why don't we just set a little mood, huh?
12:48You sit over here.
12:49Now, let's just imagine that over here is the left bank, here is the Seine, and you are
12:54sitting in a little cafe, a little sidewalk cafe.
12:57You are waiting for me.
12:59Oh, yes.
13:00The moon is shining.
13:02Voilà .
13:02Si?
13:03Oh, you'll have to forget that you're married, Becky.
13:05Nothing personal, of course, you know, but my wife wouldn't want me carrying on with
13:08a married woman.
13:13Anyway, here we go.
13:14Now, you are sitting at the sidewalk cafe.
13:17I approach.
13:18You are waiting for me.
13:19You see me approach.
13:20Ah, you see me, and you smile.
13:26No, no, you don't laugh.
13:27You smile.
13:27When you smile at me, smile at me, Paris soon becomes the lovely city it was meant to be.
13:47Smile at me, smile at me, smile at me, and when you hold my hand, touch my hand, winter rain
14:01become champagne, and I am in a wonderland.
14:06All my hand, hold my hand, hold my hand, but have a care, Paris loves her lover, have a care, or you
14:21will discover romance that you never knew, hear her sigh, sigh, fall in love, fall in love.
14:41All the love surround you, look around you, and you'll fall in love, fall in love, too.
14:54Oh, that was just beautiful.
15:08Oh, wonderful.
15:09Look, now, here are the words, and you sing it.
15:11Oh, I'm not a singer.
15:13Oh, well, so much the better.
15:14Now, when the music comes around again, you join in.
15:16Come on.
15:16Oh, no.
15:17When you smile at me, smile at me, smile at me, Paris soon becomes the lovely city it
15:32was meant to be, smile at me, smile at me, smile at me, and when you hold my hand, touch
15:44my hand, winter rain becomes champagne, and I am in a wonderland, hold my hand, hold my hand,
15:59but have a care, Paris loves her lover, have a care, or you will discover romance that you
16:12never knew, never knew, hear her sigh, sigh, sigh, fall in love, fall in love, other loves
16:29surround you, look around you, and you'll fall in love, fall in love.
16:40Who said you don't have a voice?
16:56Oh, gosh.
16:57Hey, listen, what'd you think of the song?
16:59Oh, Dennis, I just love it.
17:02Well, at least that's one record I'll sell.
17:03Oh, it's just...
17:05Here, you better take it.
17:06Oh, thank you.
17:07Oh, yeah, Mr. Day was waiting for you.
17:12Mr. Day, uh, Dennis...
17:13Oh, I'll be right there.
17:16Gee, I'm awfully sorry to have to rush off like this, but, you know, I've got to do the record
17:20date and be back at Vegas for the dinner show.
17:22Tonight?
17:23Tonight.
17:24I tell you, it isn't all beer and skittles in the show business.
17:29Sure, you didn't.
17:30Thanks for the ice water.
17:32Oh, thank you, Dennis.
17:33Goodbye.
17:34And the man from the Auto Club came right after we sang the duet, and Dennis left not five
17:45minutes ago.
17:46He, uh, he asked me to call him Dennis.
17:50Sounds wonderful, sweetie.
17:54Well, I thought you'd get kind of a kick out of it.
17:57And, Wilma, he asked for a glass of ice water.
18:00Oh, Vicki, dear, don't you think...
18:05Ice water!
18:08Honey, you sound a little skeptical.
18:10Oh, wait, it's not that I'm skeptical, but I just wouldn't tell too many people, Vicki.
18:15The truth always sounds so...
18:16Right there, huh?
18:18What happened after he gave him the ice water?
18:21Well, we got talking about hit records.
18:23You know how you do.
18:24And he was doing some impersonations of people who've made big records.
18:29Oh, he was so cute, honey.
18:30I wish I could remember.
18:32He was standing right here.
18:34Oh, one ball of the money.
18:36He's gonna say...
18:37Oh, he was...
18:39Oh, he was...
18:40Dennis Day did that?
18:47Well, naturally, he did it a little better, but...
18:52And then we sang a duet?
18:57Together?
19:00I know what a duet is.
19:07Ice water?
19:09Ice water?
19:10Gus, if I can't tell you something, whom can I tell?
19:13Oh, honey, I believe you.
19:15After all, why would you make up a story like that?
19:18Thank you, darling.
19:20Let's keep the whole story just between the two of us, huh?
19:28Why?
19:29Oh, what I meant was, don't tell the neighbors.
19:32It's a little hard to believe that Dennis Day was here.
19:34Oh, I don't know.
19:43Special delivery for Mrs. Angel.
19:46Oh, thank you.
19:47I thought you were my husband.
19:48Anytime.
19:49Anytime.
20:13Oh, hi, honey.
20:22Hello, darling.
20:23Boy, is that freeway murder.
20:25I'll bet it is.
20:27Um, did you have a nice day?
20:29Ah, so-so.
20:31What's new with you?
20:36Sabu stopped by to use the phone.
20:38His elephant blew a trunk.
20:45That, I believe.
20:48Oh?
20:50Oh, what?
20:51I thought you believed what I told you about Dennis Day.
20:54Honey, if you tell me he was here, that's good enough for me.
20:58Honey, let's get dinner over with before Wilma and George get here.
21:01And, sweetheart, don't tell them the story.
21:03Gus, I won't tell them anything you don't want me to.
21:06Honey, um, do you want to answer this or should I?
21:11Not now, sweetheart.
21:12Wilma and George are...
21:14Dear Mrs. Angel, it just occurred to me that if I were not in show business
21:18and I came home from a hard day's work
21:21and my wife told me that Jimmy Durante stopped by and sang a duet with her,
21:26I'd hit her with a flounder.
21:27I'm sending you a rehearsal record so you can sing your husband the song and prove it.
21:37Thanks again for the ice water.
21:40Sincerely, Dennis Day.
21:42And he was here.
21:47Was there ever any doubt?
21:50Honey, listen to this.
21:53Now, you sit right there.
21:54Now, this is a song all about Paris and you're in a little sidewalk cafe
22:01and you're just sitting there waiting for me and you're not married.
22:05Wait a minute.
22:06Come to think of it, yes, you are.
22:07When you smile at me, smile at me,
22:20Paris soon becomes the lovely city it was meant to be.
22:26Smile at me, smile at me, smile at me, and when you hold my hand, touch my hand,
22:38winter rain becomes champagne and I am in a wonderland.
22:45Hold my hand, hold my hand, hold my hand.
22:52But have a care, Paris loves her lovers, have a care.
22:59Or you will discover romance that you never knew.
23:08Hear her sign, sign, fall in love, fall in love.
23:20Other loves surround you, look around you, and you'll fall in love, fall in love too.
23:34Did you like it?
23:52Like it?
23:54Honey, if I could only...
23:56Wait till Wilma and George hear that.
24:00Not only that, he did several imitations for Vicki.
24:09Of what, the guy drinking ice water?
24:12No, it was one of these, uh, one for the money, two for the show,
24:17sweetie, get ready and go, cat, go!
24:19Go, go, go!
24:20I know what it is, Rudy Valley.
24:22Suppose I can prove Dennis Day was here.
24:31How?
24:32Show him the letter, sweetheart.
24:34What letter?
24:36The one...
24:37Well, you got a letter today.
24:38Honey, we were talking about Dennis Day.
24:40Now, it isn't very nice to change the subject.
24:48You looking for something, dear?
24:49Honey, what'd you do with the record?
24:51What record?
24:52Honey, don't play games.
24:54They think I'm making up a big story.
24:55I know exactly what they think.
25:00I'm sorry.
25:03Here, darling.
25:05Wait, let me...
25:06Read this.
25:16And he really was here, Vicki.
25:19I told you.
25:20And they stood right there while they sang the duet.
25:25Go ahead, sweetheart.
25:27Oh, no, God, not in front of people.
25:30They're not people.
25:31They're Wilma and George.
25:32I can't, honey.
25:34I'm sorry.
25:36Bye.
25:42Come on.
25:42Come on.
25:47Come here.
25:48Well, my George, you're late.
25:52That always happens when you take two cars.
25:55Enjoy the premiere?
25:56Oh, honey, I just loved it.
25:59See, weren't you supposed to call Mr. Chase before 11.30?
26:01Oh, my gosh, I forgot.
26:04Oh, sweetheart, have you got a dime?
26:14I'll be right back.
26:15See you, darling.
26:18Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
26:23Oh, that's dark.
26:25I hope nothing's broken.
26:28No, everything's fine, Mr. Ir...
26:30Mr. O'Brien.
26:35You just call me Hugh.
26:38I know you hear this from everybody,
26:40but I think you have the best Western show on television.
26:43Well, thank you kindly, ma'am.
26:45That's very nice of you.
26:46Is that your new album?
26:47Oh, yes, it is.
26:49Yeah, I just made it my first try at singing.
26:52Hugh O'Brien TV's Wyatt Earp sings.
26:56Wow.
26:57Very subtle title.
27:01I hear there are some wonderful songs in there.
27:03Well, thank you very much.
27:05My husband and I think you have the most beautiful voice.
27:07Your husband.
27:08Well, it's really been a pleasure meeting you.
27:12I hope I see you again sometime.
27:13Mm-hmm.
27:14Bye.
27:14Goodbye.
27:15The line was busy.
27:20I'll have to call back.
27:22Oh, Gus, he even looks better without his boots.
27:25What?
27:30Honey, you'll never believe this.
27:33Oh, here come on.
27:34Oh, here come on, Gus.
27:35We're going to join the angels again.
27:36Oh, that's all right.
27:37Wilma, joy.
27:38Hi.
27:39All right, you made it.
27:40Sure.
27:41Ah.
27:42That's it.
27:43We're going to take two cars again.
27:46Never.
27:46Oh, no.
27:47Nothing left to play.
27:50Another reason we were late.
27:52Wilma's looking for movie stars.
27:53Oh, didn't you see anybody?
27:57Not at all.
27:58Honey, what were you about to say?
28:02I was going to say, you'll never believe this,
28:05but I'm not a bit hungry.
28:08I'll have a New York steak on the dinner with a show.
