Framed (1947) - full transcript
Mike Lambert, unemployed mining engineer, arrives in a small town with a bang when the brakes fail on the truck he's driving. After meeting seductive Paula at the La Paloma Cafe, he finds himself in trouble with the law. On the basis of a few burning glances, Paula pays his fine and finds him a room, but her motives are not what they seem. Mike lucks into a job with miner Jeff Cunningham, but against his will he's drawn ever deeper into Paula's schemes.

you're in a bad way last night yeah you
act as though you wish I hadn't come mmm
mmm I just got a lot of things I'm a
mine that's all I noticed that last
night what do you mean oh you kept
running away from liquor and women or
was it a woman don't count on anything I
said last night liquor blanked me out oh
I'm sorry about that
why
you said I was beautiful
I told you I never remember what I do
I've tried I've had a couple of drinks
you handle everything just like a man
going somewhere
what are you running away from this time
I got a job out of town
uncle worrying about your money you'll
get it back you know I'm not worried
about the money
you make more sense when you're drunk
maybe
you're afraid of what
has to show you how wrong you are lady
Paul is the name
I came here to get a job that's all no I
got it better than that the owners
cutting me in on ten percent of all the
silver I can get out of that mind it's
the first break I've had in a long time
now nobody's gonna support it not even
me
I'm sorry I didn't mean to interfere
John I'm forgetting
where's the mine yeah about 50 miles
from here who owns it fella named
Cunningham when you leave this afternoon
two o'clock if there's more hitch how
could there be a hitch you said it was
all set no not in my deal I mean the
money Arrangements Cunningham's at the
Empire Bank now negotiating alone it
takes dough to get that silver out I see
you know I wish you all the luck II
deserve my thanks if you ever need
another button sewed on your dress is
2-1-1 clark street
goodbye mine good luck
looks alright kyon mr. price you've ever
said truer word you know I never thought
that Hill had anything left in it but
rocks we'll have to send one of our men
out tomorrow to look at the property it
suits me fine now what would you
estimate the excuse me coming him yes
Helen Bailey on the phone I'll call her
later
she says it's very important all right
hello Steve are you alone
no then just listen there's a miner
named Cunningham on his way to see you
or maybe there already yes he's offered
our man a job I don't know how he made
the connection but he did I see yes it's
a very sound idea thank you goodbye now
I'll come again what did you estimate
alone should be well they wear Effie
greenie
comes 3,000 uh-huh how's that sound
well frankly it sounds like far too much
no no no I suppose we could scrape you
five thousand less and still too much
I don't figured that way Cunningham you
realize the bank can't afford to take a
gamble on as big as some was that why
not
I paid back every red cent I ever bar
and paid it on time this Bank knows me
oh we can't do business out sentiment
Cunningham this is not sentiment here's
what I suggest a short-term note say
three months shorter or $5,000 what they
wouldn't even pay for the tool Shack
what you're doing is turning me down oh
I wouldn't say that Cunningham I've done
business with this Bank for 15 years
it's long before you came here long
before you married your money long
before you ever sat in that chair just
gonna come this way you give me a lot of
greasy talk then you turn me down I'm
sorry you're not sorry but you will be
they did lots time now I'm strong no
loan what what happened I don't know
exactly that no good vice president of
the bank the deal was all set we
suddenly just don't understand it was
another Bank in town isn't there yeah
there is sure if they won't touch a
mining investment no I'll go out of town
see old partner Walt Donovan he may be
able to take me up a couple of thousand
maybe more come on what about what about
our deal is it still going well sure man
sure does Mike do you know how things
look if I'm not back in two or three
days maybe better get yourself another
job good luck to you Jeff you got new
hat out of it anyway huh he's good at
pretty even
same hmm what do you have you got a
match looking for someone in particular
mm-hmm she quit last night
good for her
come in
mic expecting somebody certainly not you
I thought you're on your way I was well
deal fell through oh I'm sorry
so my maybe I shouldn't be sit down like
I just left a lot Paloma
see anything interesting how'd you quit
your job I hope it wasn't because you
got mixed up in my troubles oh no
I was just tired you're a strange girl
working in a two-bit cafe and yet you
look like like what I'm trying to decide
Mike yeah there's a bottle of rye in the
kitchen
no thanks sure I don't need it what
happened did you swear off liquor in
women maybe the deal meant an awful lot
to you didn't it
you don't want to talk about that
depends on how you tell it oh it's a
very short story
money how much more than the bank wanted
to risk what are your plans depends if
y'all hang around a couple of days just
wanna what get you up on things and then
Vancouver Alaskan still running away not
yet
I can see several good reasons why I
should stay
put up my garage puller
what's happened nothing to be alarmed
about
it's hardly five o'clock we've never
come here this early what's the trouble
it's not trouble it's just at the bank
examiners are coming the day after
tomorrow then there is trouble no well
it's quite the usual thing but when they
arrive they work about two weeks I don't
want the delay I think it's dangerous I
agree we can't wait that long
how about your car plenty of gas on it
yes Steve all right we leave it here in
the garage lonely be for the night good
darling
what about the money you think I'd
forget that course nasty but there's so
many things it's in your safe deposit
box all of it
250,000 they'll be searching for that
money from here to Los Angeles and all
the while it'll be right under their
noses in my own Bank in your name now
Poland under that robe you'll find a
wrench
now about your friend Lambert I'll get
him here but remember it's your place
not mine he still thinks I'm a waitress
I want to go over this from beginning to
end that sign dangerous curve on the
right that's where I stopped and where
you I know
Steve yes I'm worried about one thing
what's that what if they find something
to identify it well as an accident
there's usually a fire suppose there
isn't it will be me nothing left to
identify in Lambeth becomes price yes
Steve just an for an embezzler let's
take a look
for the first time I really believe it's
going to happen tomorrow night tomorrow

debt 40 50 as for the fine
$3 for room number seven $5 she gave me
through whatever the $5 is for and here
that's for your trouble Mike you're
insulting no I couldn't insult you that
wouldn't be possible you're drunk
I wish I were now this is beginning to
make sense a waitress that doesn't look
like a waitress quitting a job why
because she's tired
expensive perfume plenty of money money
to throw away on a guy like me pay is
fine get in my room but for a laugh are
you through yeah I'm through now I'm
getting out of here you're getting out
of here but first you're gonna tell me I
got nothing to tell you what's the
matter with you I was standing at the
corner of 5th and Clark Street about an
hour ago you fool a car stopped at the
curb do you know who that was I don't
want to know you got to know it was
price who happens to be vice-president
of the Empire Bank congratulations I
didn't go for my sake I went for yours
that's great
doesn't the kind of CAM deal me anything
to you anymore what about it I persuaded
price to reconsider the loan he's going
with us tomorrow to look at Cunningham's
property you understand Mike you've got
the deal yeah you don't have to believe
it you have the appointment see for
yourself what did you do to persuade him
what's the difference no a lot of
difference I don't want a woman fronting
from me I wanted you to get the job I
couldn't let you drift away
pick up the money Mike
how does a waitress at the La Paloma
come to another vice president of a bank
a lot of people come to La Paloma so
I've noticed one way or another a smart
girl gets to know in which closet they
keep the family skeleton when she
rattles out skeleton bingo where's the
skeleton in the price family mrs. price
but it's a long story
going to stay to hear it
where are your cigarettes same places
they were last night
have you finished those letters no mr.
price you see those s never mind I'll
sign them tomorrow I'm driving out to
look at the Cunningham Holdings cancel
all my appointments for today yes mister
oh I want to see the examiners when they
arrive first thing in the morning in our
city long mr. Lambert a couple of days
see aren't you gonna have one of your
engineers look the place over a bank Oh
mr. Lambert has to know a little about
most everything I happen to have a
mining degree hmm good enough suppose we
take these samples back and have another
assay drawn on them just for
confirmation suit yourself it'll give us
a clearer picture just a second I'll get
something to carry to me
everything working out mr. price I
imagine so must seem a boring trip on
the contrary I had to dump out
Cunningham's laundry but he won't mind
you know mr. Lambert I think I may have
been too hasty yesterday telling him of
course was a little rude I got angry
naturally I don't think Cunningham meant
to be well it looks good to me
in fact I think we stand to make a
little money well that calls for a
celebration
not a bad idea what would you like to
stop
I don't know this section at all I'll
tell you what we might turn off to my
place I've got a little shack up there
I'm sure we can find the fixings
I need something to warm me up and
personally I'm awfully kur well one
drink won't shorten a man's life
appreciably now will it

take your hat
Thanks yeah I'll fix some tricks
wonderful how would you like it miss
Cregg water soda some sherry sherry

everyone is concerned it was an accident

drifter and they'll never believe that

cover for you to make it look like an
accident

convict you well I'm sorry Mike I didn't
mean to fly off the handle I'm in a
tough spot

your friend Donovan that's just it he he
wasn't there I stayed in his Shack
overnight and when he didn't show up the
next day I came went back to town well
they claimed that you you're threatening
price I did no such thing
I went to see him about the loan first

I think the deals all set and you're
interrupted he talked on the phone when
he got through he was cold wouldn't hear
the deal he offered me five thousand
I didn't threaten you I told him all

didn't do it yeah sure
you say my laundry bag was in the
wrecked car Mike I swear I don't know
how he got it I wasn't with him Jeff I
was the last man with Christ you drove
up to the mine he changed his mind about
your deal wanted to go through with it

may have killed him don't you little I
don't
I had a few drinks sang like you didn't
murder anybody no more than me I don't

excuses when they break the law
no man works for our outfit unless he
agrees to full responsibility for any
traffic violations we got to do that
judge of them drivers would bankrupt the
company did you agree to this
I suppose so I needed the money then
they hand me a truck without any brakes

feet in that crowded smoky place I
shouldn't have let you do it you
couldn't do it and it had to be done
five weeks looking waiting and looking
sometimes I fell it wasn't worth it
not even for a quarter of a million
dollars if it weren't for this place to
come here in my free time and relax and
feel like a human being I don't know
what I would have done Paula you think
it was wise to quit quit the La Paloma
yeah why not we're ready that's true
better to quit now than disappear
without a word
this way it's finished you sure he's the
man of course and he knows no one in
town relatives no connections no one

much like you really
not really remember the day I met you at

photographed and that Chicago wind was
blowing through your hair he looked like
an angel in furs someone else's furs

things you've been saying for weeks now

it I've told you repeatedly you imagine
all these things Steven no woman
imagines it when she ceases to feel like
a wife

about the way you avoid the issue you
have a quaint and childish way of
admitting all your sins I'm not asking
you to admit them I'm asking you to do
something about them
I'm sorry Beth but I'm a little too old
to change I'm not a hypocrite well I

all that I am and hope to be I owe to my
angel wife you talk as though you didn't
want it on the contrary it's exactly
what I do want my father described you
pretty accurately before we were married
an opportunist he was quite right Beth
but even he admitted I was an
intelligent one I had a good education

night what do you mean oh you kept
running away from liquor and women or
was it a woman don't count on anything I
said last night liquor blanked me out oh
I'm sorry about that
why
you said I was beautiful
I told you I never remember what I do
I've tried I've had a couple of drinks
you handle everything just like a man
going somewhere
what are you running away from this time
I got a job out of town
uncle worrying about your money you'll
get it back you know I'm not worried
about the money
you make more sense when you're drunk
maybe
you're afraid of what
has to show you how wrong you are lady
Paul is the name
I came here to get a job that's all no I
got it better than that the owners
cutting me in on ten percent of all the
silver I can get out of that mind it's
the first break I've had in a long time
now nobody's gonna support it not even
me
I'm sorry I didn't mean to interfere
John I'm forgetting
where's the mine yeah about 50 miles
from here who owns it fella named
Cunningham when you leave this afternoon
two o'clock if there's more hitch how
could there be a hitch you said it was
all set no not in my deal I mean the
money Arrangements Cunningham's at the
Empire Bank now negotiating alone it
takes dough to get that silver out I see
you know I wish you all the luck II
deserve my thanks if you ever need
another button sewed on your dress is
2-1-1 clark street
goodbye mine good luck
looks alright kyon mr. price you've ever
said truer word you know I never thought
that Hill had anything left in it but
rocks we'll have to send one of our men
out tomorrow to look at the property it
suits me fine now what would you
estimate the excuse me coming him yes
Helen Bailey on the phone I'll call her
later
she says it's very important all right
hello Steve are you alone
no then just listen there's a miner
named Cunningham on his way to see you
or maybe there already yes he's offered
our man a job I don't know how he made
the connection but he did I see yes it's
a very sound idea thank you goodbye now
I'll come again what did you estimate
alone should be well they wear Effie
greenie
comes 3,000 uh-huh how's that sound
well frankly it sounds like far too much
no no no I suppose we could scrape you
five thousand less and still too much
I don't figured that way Cunningham you
realize the bank can't afford to take a
gamble on as big as some was that why
not
I paid back every red cent I ever bar
and paid it on time this Bank knows me
oh we can't do business out sentiment
Cunningham this is not sentiment here's
what I suggest a short-term note say
three months shorter or $5,000 what they
wouldn't even pay for the tool Shack
what you're doing is turning me down oh
I wouldn't say that Cunningham I've done
business with this Bank for 15 years
it's long before you came here long
before you married your money long
before you ever sat in that chair just
gonna come this way you give me a lot of
greasy talk then you turn me down I'm
sorry you're not sorry but you will be
they did lots time now I'm strong no
loan what what happened I don't know
exactly that no good vice president of
the bank the deal was all set we
suddenly just don't understand it was
another Bank in town isn't there yeah
there is sure if they won't touch a
mining investment no I'll go out of town
see old partner Walt Donovan he may be
able to take me up a couple of thousand
maybe more come on what about what about
our deal is it still going well sure man
sure does Mike do you know how things
look if I'm not back in two or three
days maybe better get yourself another
job good luck to you Jeff you got new
hat out of it anyway huh he's good at
pretty even
same hmm what do you have you got a
match looking for someone in particular
mm-hmm she quit last night
good for her
come in
mic expecting somebody certainly not you
I thought you're on your way I was well
deal fell through oh I'm sorry
so my maybe I shouldn't be sit down like
I just left a lot Paloma
see anything interesting how'd you quit
your job I hope it wasn't because you
got mixed up in my troubles oh no
I was just tired you're a strange girl
working in a two-bit cafe and yet you
look like like what I'm trying to decide
Mike yeah there's a bottle of rye in the
kitchen
no thanks sure I don't need it what
happened did you swear off liquor in
women maybe the deal meant an awful lot
to you didn't it
you don't want to talk about that
depends on how you tell it oh it's a
very short story
money how much more than the bank wanted
to risk what are your plans depends if
y'all hang around a couple of days just
wanna what get you up on things and then
Vancouver Alaskan still running away not
yet
I can see several good reasons why I
should stay
put up my garage puller
what's happened nothing to be alarmed
about
it's hardly five o'clock we've never
come here this early what's the trouble
it's not trouble it's just at the bank
examiners are coming the day after
tomorrow then there is trouble no well
it's quite the usual thing but when they
arrive they work about two weeks I don't
want the delay I think it's dangerous I
agree we can't wait that long
how about your car plenty of gas on it
yes Steve all right we leave it here in
the garage lonely be for the night good
darling
what about the money you think I'd
forget that course nasty but there's so
many things it's in your safe deposit
box all of it
250,000 they'll be searching for that
money from here to Los Angeles and all
the while it'll be right under their
noses in my own Bank in your name now
Poland under that robe you'll find a
wrench
now about your friend Lambert I'll get
him here but remember it's your place
not mine he still thinks I'm a waitress
I want to go over this from beginning to
end that sign dangerous curve on the
right that's where I stopped and where
you I know
Steve yes I'm worried about one thing
what's that what if they find something
to identify it well as an accident
there's usually a fire suppose there
isn't it will be me nothing left to
identify in Lambeth becomes price yes
Steve just an for an embezzler let's
take a look
for the first time I really believe it's
going to happen tomorrow night tomorrow
night

what's the matter I came to pay off my
debt 40 50 as for the fine
$3 for room number seven $5 she gave me
through whatever the $5 is for and here
that's for your trouble Mike you're
insulting no I couldn't insult you that
wouldn't be possible you're drunk
I wish I were now this is beginning to
make sense a waitress that doesn't look
like a waitress quitting a job why
because she's tired
expensive perfume plenty of money money
to throw away on a guy like me pay is
fine get in my room but for a laugh are
you through yeah I'm through now I'm
getting out of here you're getting out
of here but first you're gonna tell me I
got nothing to tell you what's the
matter with you I was standing at the
corner of 5th and Clark Street about an
hour ago you fool a car stopped at the
curb do you know who that was I don't
want to know you got to know it was
price who happens to be vice-president
of the Empire Bank congratulations I
didn't go for my sake I went for yours
that's great
doesn't the kind of CAM deal me anything
to you anymore what about it I persuaded
price to reconsider the loan he's going
with us tomorrow to look at Cunningham's
property you understand Mike you've got
the deal yeah you don't have to believe
it you have the appointment see for
yourself what did you do to persuade him
what's the difference no a lot of
difference I don't want a woman fronting
from me I wanted you to get the job I
couldn't let you drift away
pick up the money Mike
how does a waitress at the La Paloma
come to another vice president of a bank
a lot of people come to La Paloma so
I've noticed one way or another a smart
girl gets to know in which closet they
keep the family skeleton when she
rattles out skeleton bingo where's the
skeleton in the price family mrs. price
but it's a long story
going to stay to hear it
where are your cigarettes same places
they were last night
have you finished those letters no mr.
price you see those s never mind I'll
sign them tomorrow I'm driving out to
look at the Cunningham Holdings cancel
all my appointments for today yes mister
oh I want to see the examiners when they
arrive first thing in the morning in our
city long mr. Lambert a couple of days
see aren't you gonna have one of your
engineers look the place over a bank Oh
mr. Lambert has to know a little about
most everything I happen to have a
mining degree hmm good enough suppose we
take these samples back and have another
assay drawn on them just for
confirmation suit yourself it'll give us
a clearer picture just a second I'll get
something to carry to me
everything working out mr. price I
imagine so must seem a boring trip on
the contrary I had to dump out
Cunningham's laundry but he won't mind
you know mr. Lambert I think I may have
been too hasty yesterday telling him of
course was a little rude I got angry
naturally I don't think Cunningham meant
to be well it looks good to me
in fact I think we stand to make a
little money well that calls for a
celebration
not a bad idea what would you like to
stop
I don't know this section at all I'll
tell you what we might turn off to my
place I've got a little shack up there
I'm sure we can find the fixings
I need something to warm me up and
personally I'm awfully kur well one
drink won't shorten a man's life
appreciably now will it
what a lovely place it's quite a Shack
mega sounds comfortable lambeth they
take your hat
Thanks yeah I'll fix some tricks
wonderful how would you like it miss
Cregg water soda some sherry sherry
what's good habit all right just a short
one

happy when he hears about it yes I think
we can do business

to all of us

let's go there ought to be a diner along
the road somewhere nonsense I have all
the staples in the refrigerator eggs

your friend Donovan that's just it he he
wasn't there I stayed in his Shack
overnight and when he didn't show up the
next day I came went back to town well
they claimed that you you're threatening
price I did no such thing
I went to see him about the loan first
he says yes Cunningham fine Cunningham
I think the deals all set and you're
interrupted he talked on the phone when
he got through he was cold wouldn't hear
the deal he offered me five thousand
I didn't threaten you I told him all
from walked out sat down I know you
didn't do it yeah sure
you say my laundry bag was in the
wrecked car Mike I swear I don't know
how he got it I wasn't with him Jeff I
was the last man with Christ you drove
up to the mine he changed his mind about
your deal wanted to go through with it
then he backed out again that's when I
may have killed him don't you little I
don't
I had a few drinks sang like you didn't
murder anybody no more than me I don't
know something local about this man
price changed his mind then he changed
it again I don't get it
he wasn't crazy not price and wait a
minute if you say that when you went
into his office he got a phone call
that's right he did what'd he say oh

he talking to I didn't pay attention
just a phone call none of my business

nothing but it's all we got police ought
to do they'd only throw me in jail

idea who might have done it but what I

hours
