Romance on the High Seas (1948) - full transcript

Socialite Elvira Kent suspects her husband of fooling around with other women. When he announces he can't join her on their scheduled ocean voyage, she hires a nightclub singer, Georgia Garrett, to pose as her on the cruise. Elvira stays at a hotel near home so she can spy on her husband. She's unaware, however, that her husband has hired a detective, Peter Virgil, to keep an eye on her at sea. Of course, Peter doesn't realize that Georgia is not Mrs. Kent...

["WEDDING MARCH"
PLAYING ON ORGAN]

Did you see that, uncle?

Did you see the way
he looked at that bridesmaid?

Oh, no.
He was just looking around,

and accidentally
there was a bridesmaid.

Why doesn't he look at me?

Oh, he has seen you.

[WHISPERING]
Did you catch that?

Flirting right up
to the last minute.

Oh, don't be silly.



I'll never be able
to trust that girl.

[♪]

[INAUDIBLE]

[INAUDIBLE]

Oh, I won't need you
anymore today, Thompson.

Good morning, Mrs. Kent.

Oh, good morning,
Charles.

We've booked you and Mr. Kent

on the Southern Queen
sailing next Tuesday.

Good. Did you get us a stateroom
on the promenade deck?

Naturally.
We've also arranged

for your
accommodations in Rio

at the Hotel Atlantico.

The presidential suite.
Of course.



How do you do?
Good morning.

Don't worry about a thing,
Mrs. Kent. In Rio,

our man will meet you
at the boat

and escort you to the hotel.

Fine.

Uh-oh.
Here she is again.

You take care of her,
Dudley, in a nice way.

I got stuck last time.

Quite a character.
Comes in here every few months.

Loads up on literature,
plans elaborate tours.

Never goes on one of them.

Really?
Why is that?

Well, she's just a singer
in a honky-tonk.

Hasn't got a dime.

I think there are some papers
here for you to sign, Mrs. Kent.

Oh, how do you do,
Miss Garrett?

Oh, greetings, chum.

My, we haven't seen you,
let's see now,

since, uh, you didn't go
to Switzerland.

Yeah. I got a big kick
out of planning that trip.

What looks good
this time of the year?

How about
the Canadian Rockies?

Canadian Rockies?
Don't you remember?

I already haven't
been there.

Oh, of course, I'm sorry.

What about a cruise
through the Canal,

and return home by train
from Los Angeles?

The Canal's for schmoes.

Come on, what really
looks good?

Well, uh, South America's
getting a heavy play.

Matter of fact, we have
some literature on it,

if you'll just
step right over here.

Sure.
CHARLES: Here are the papers.

Hello, Miss Garrett.
Hi.

South America,
the seat of ancient cultures.

Museums, missions,
archeological ruins abound.

South America.

[HUMS]

♪ You could tell
By her mañana ♪

Mañana, that fractures me.

Hey, what has South America got
besides romantic ruins?

Let's see. It says here
there are approximately

four men to every woman--

That's enough. Doesn't hurt
a girl to be outnumbered.

Pardon me, Mrs. Kent.
Yes?

We're set up to take your
passport photo.

Oh, thank you.
I'll be right in.

As long as I'm handy, I might
as well have one taken too.

But, Miss Garrett,
you've already had

seven passport
pictures taken.

But never as a blond.

[♪]

Are you going
to tell your husband?

Oh, no, no. Not yet.

I want some time
to prepare him for it. Well...

Before you go,
there's just one more thing.

Uncle. Uncle.

Yeah.
What happened?

Do you see what I see?

What do you see?
Isn't that Elvira down there?

Now, Michael, don't tell me
you are still jealous of her.

Well, why did they
raise the top?

I don't know.

Maybe they are afraid
it will rain.

Ohhhh.

Let's face it, uncle. Elvira's
a flirt, always has been.

Thought marriage would
change her, but it hasn't.

Just the opposite,
my boy.

When a woman is married,
she has to flirt twice as hard,

to prove she's still
got it.

Yes?

Yes, what?

Whom do you wish to see?

Mr. Michael Kent.

Who are you?

Oh, I'm Mr. Kent's
secretary.

Oh? Since when?

Since 9:00 this morning.

Who are you?

Mrs. Michael Kent,
since three years ago.

Oh, really?

Why do you say,
"Oh, really"?

Well, I didn't know
Mr. Kent was married.

Well, you've only been here
since 9:00.

He couldn't have gotten very far
in the story of his life.

Shall I announce you to Mich--?
Uh, I mean, Mr. Kent?

Uh, never mind.

I'll just walk in
on Mr. Ke--

I mean, uh, Michael.

Hello.

Oh, hello, darling.
Your hat's on crooked.

Well, it's supposed
to be that way.

Oh, is it?

Looks very cute.
Very cute.

We'll take care of that
a little later.

Uh, who was that
you just drove up with?

Oh, I was hoping
you wouldn't see me.

Well, if you must know,
it was an automobile salesman.

You two looked so chummy,

I could've sworn
he was a friend.

Well, he was just showing me
how the car worked.

Oh? You didn't tell me
you were getting a new car.

You didn't tell me you were
getting a new secretary.

Where did, uh,
she come from?

Oh, from the Acme Secretarial
School, I suppose.

Maybe by the time we're back
from South America,

she'll be able to type
with all 10 fingers.

Oh, South America. Oh...
Ahem.

What's the matter,
dear?

Nothing, nothing.
Oh, excuse me.

Mr. Kent, you wanted
to see these.

Fine. Fine.

Put them out on the whole chain.
I want everyone to smell good.

Yes, sir.
Oh, uh...

Michael, every time you say
"Oh, uh, um" like that,

I know there's something on your
mind and not in your throat.

What about our trip?

Well, darling, uh,
this is it.

I'm afraid we're going
to have to postpone it again.

Postpone it? Why?

Business. Something came up
this morning.

About 9:00 this morning?

Yes, yes, about 9.

Phone call from the West.
Great chance for a merger.

Listen, marriage
is a merger too, you know,

and a darned important one.

I know, I know.

But if we can grab
the Great Western Drug Company,

there won't be a hot-water
bottle without our name on it.

That's a comfort.

Tell J.B. to put those
bottles on a national network.

You wanted me to remind you
of your lunch appointment.

Oh, yes, thank you,
Miss Medwick.

Bye-bye, dear.
May see you at dinner.

Glad you see it
my way.

Come along,
bring your notebook.

You know, this is not only
lunch, it's business.

[♪]

Would you please
sign these?

Oh. Oh, yes, yes.

Mmmm.

That's a wonderful perfume.

Don't believe we carry that
in our stores.

Would you mind telling me
what it is?

It's called
Tonight or Never.

It's your passport photo.

A messenger brought it
from the Baker Travel Agency.

A lot of good
it'll do me now.

Maybe we'd better
put it in stock.

Oh, yes, sir.

Well, uh, if you don't want it,
I'd be glad

to keep it as a souvenir.

You're sweet.

[♪]

Excuse me.

Would you mind finishing?

Oh.

Hello, dear.

Hello, Uncle Lazlo.

Your hat is on crooked.

It's supposed to be
that way.

Oh.

I guess you heard Michael
cannot go to South America.

Uncle Lazlo, couldn't you handle
this deal yourself?

No, darling, I cannot do
anything without Michael.

I am the president
of the company,

but he is my brains
in the drugstore business.

When I started in this business
nobody was helping me.

No. I was a soda jerker.

Pssht. Heh-heh-heh.

I was such a thin boy,
my boss was such a guy.

One mistake, I got
a punch in the nose.

But now it is different.

I am the success,
so he does all the work.

No, no, no, I cannot let Michael
go, not for a day.

He's the great business head.

I didn't marry Mike
for his business head.

He's so attractive,
but he's such a wolf.

Uncle Lazlo, don't you think
it's a little strange

that this business deal
should pop up

the same morning he hires
a beautiful new secretary?

I know what you are insinuating,
but you are 90 percent wrong.

Oh? What about the other
10 percent?

Oh, well, I'm not saying
that Michael

has not looked
at another woman.

Who hasn't?

I have looked at women, and the
few that looked back, I married.

That cured me of looking.

I will tell you what,
I still like women,

but I...
I stopped looking.

Well, that isn't me.

Is there a phone number
on the back? Let me see.

A nice girl.
I thought you'd stopped looking.

Why, I know who that is.
That's that girl in the agency.

She's quite a character.

Elvira, dear, why not forget
about Michael

and take this trip yourself.
Why?

And leave him here
with a free hand? Oh, no.

Don't be silly.

Even if you were here,

if Michael wanted to play around
in a city like New York,

with a little caution...
Ah.

If he thought
I was away,

he wouldn't bother
about being careful.

How I'd love to go to South
America and catch Michael here.

My dear niece, not only
is it impossible,

but it cannot be done.

Uncle.

What?
I think I have an idea.

What--? What idea?

Get me the Baker
Travel Agency,

and I wanna speak
to Charles, please.

Uncle, we're going
nightclubbing tonight.

Night-- Nightclubbing?

Hello, Charles.
This is Mrs. Kent.

[UPBEAT JAZZY MUSIC PLAYING]

Uncle. Uncle.

Yes?

This is the girl.

I hope you know
what you are doing.

Waiter, have you
a table for two?

Sorry, no formal dress
allowed.

Why?

Makes the customers
feel uncomfortable.

Oh, makes them uncomfortable.

And how much makes them
comfortable?

You rich guys think
that money can buy anything.

How right you are.

[MUSIC ENDS, APPLAUSE]

Nobody would ever suspect
you love music.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

That ought to prove
I'm not rude.

We now present our singing star,
an Oscar Farrar discovery

trained by Oscar Farrar,
and appearing here

through the courtesy
of Oscar Farrar.

Incidentally, my name is Oscar--

Seems to escape me
for the moment.

Miss Georgia Garrett.

[WHISTLING]

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

What was the name of that song?

"I'm in Love."

Did I do right by you?

You always do.

But all this is beneath me.

Why don't you marry me
so I can quit this job.

You know, I'm getting a little
tired of turning you down.

Marry me and get yourself
a dependent. I'm deductible.

Oscar, you're a sweet kid,
but just a little offensive.

I always wanted to marry
a girl who could tune

a piano on the side.

Once and for all,
will you marry me?

Answer yes or no.

No.

We'll continue
this discussion later.

Will you see me home?

Hey, Georgia, a couple
of income-tax evaders

want you to have a drink
with them. Table seven.

I'll drink with them,
but autographs are out.

Okay.
Captain, did they ask for me?

No one ever asks for you.

How did a sweet kid
like you

ever get into
this kind of a racket?

Aaaaahh!
Aahh! Aahh!

Hello.
Hello.

Hi.
Miss Garrett, I'm Elvira Kent.

This is my uncle, Lazlo Lazlo.
Hello.

If he isn't your uncle,
is that my business?

You can believe me,
she's my niece.

I have experiences in nieces.

Won't you sit down?

Don't be surprised if I do.

That's cute.

We ordered champagne cocktails,
if it is all right with you.

So I'm stuck with it.

Say, haven't I seen you
someplace?

Baker Travel Agency.

And what's more they sent me
your passport photo by mistake.

Of course, the schmoes,
they sent me yours.

It's in my room,
you want it?

There's no hurry.

You can keep mine.
I'm not going anyplace.

Well, neither am I.

Did you run out
of money too?

Oh, no, no, no. My niece
cannot run out of money.

I am the owner of one of
the greatest drugstore chains.

When I came in this country
I was a soda jerker.

I was such a thin boy,
my boss was such a guy.

One mistake, I got a punch
in the nose-- No, no.

Miss Garrett.

Listening.

How would you like to go
to South America after all?

How would I like
to go to S--?

Oh, you mean
as a stowaway?

No.

In a first-class cabin,
all expenses paid,

and $1000 spending money.

What radio program
do you two represent,

and how did I win it?

Oh, no, nothing to do
with radio

or contests or
anything like that. No.

What's the catch?
There must be a catch.

There is.
Mm.

You see, you have to travel
under my name.

Under your name?
You tired of it?

No. You see,
I'm married and--

Oh, ashamed of it.

No.

Miss Garrett, I don't trust
my husband.

Natch.

Well, if he thought
I was in South America,

he'd play around
quite openly--

And she would be here
to catch him.

Well, why not let him
play around?

Keeps them off the streets.

Yuy.

Please.

This is
a legitimate offer.

LAZLO:
Yes, it is.

Do you mean after all
these years

of planning and dreaming

and never getting
out of Far Rockaway...?

You mean this thing is just
gonna fall right in my lap?

LAZLO:
Right in your laps.

Well, what am I
asking questions for?

Lady, have you got
yourself a deal.

Let's drink to that.
Wonderful.

A votre santé.
A votre-- A votre what?

A votre santé.

What does that mean?
Your health.

Mine's fine, thanks.
How's yours?

Don't pack that.
I'll need that in New York.

Beg pardon?

I mean, I won't be
using it in Rio.

You can stop packing, Marie.

Hello, darling.
Hello.

I'll finish the merger
by the end of the week,

and then I can go with you.

Huh?

I said I'll be finished
in a few days.

Aren't you happy?

Uh... Oh, yes,
I certainly am.

It's just that it interferes
with all my plans.

Plans? What plans?

What she means is,
her boat leaves tomorrow

and not in a few days,
you know.

But another one leaves Saturday.
That's only 96 hours.

But-- But-- But, darling,
you can't complete

a decent merger in 96 hours.

She's right. If you should
mess up this deal

you'll never
forgive yourself.

Oh, yes, I will.
Then I'll never forgive you.

[PHONE RINGS]

Oh, the phone.
Now, look, darling, this is--

Hello. Oh, hello, Georgia.
Uh...

Oh, I can't talk to you now,
dear, I'm in a hurry.

I'll see you on the boat.
Goodbye, Georgia.

Who's this you'll see
on the boat?

George who?
George who?

Oh, George who?
Oh, not George who...

Georgia. Just a girlfriend
of mine.

But no, darling, you stay here
and take care of your affairs.

Well, this seems
very funny to me.

Very funny that you
can't wait till Saturday.

Only four days.

Don't you think
it's funny, uncle?

No, it isn't funny at all.

Well, maybe not to you,

because you have no
feelings of such matters.

What--? I have no feeling?
You have no feeling.

You are just talking,
talking, don't know what about.

She cannot postpone her trip.
It's settled with Georgia.

What's settled? Say, who is
this Georgia, anyway?

You see, you haven't
the faintest notion.

Georgia is the girl
who has to--

You are driving me crazy.

Oh.

[SHOWER RUNNING]

Elvira, don't you think
you owe me an explanation?

[ELVIRA SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY]

I can't hear
a word you're saying,

the shower's making
too much noise.

Just what are you up to?

I can't talk to you
about it now.

I want one reason,
at least one good reason

why you have to go off
by yourself.

I can't talk to you
about it now.

Well, if I can't hear you,
at least let me see you.

Now, are you gonna wait for me?
Yes or no?

[♪]

Oh, uh, hello.

Come in.

Excuse me,
are you, uh, Peter Virgil?

I am.

Peter Virgil,
the detective?

Yes.

A client suspects his wife
is slowly poisoning him

and I was just
examining the evidence.

No, there's no poison. It could
stand a little sugar, though.

Excuse me. See I, uh...

I figure as long as
there's no poison,

why, I might as well
drink it.

Would you join me
in a cup of evidence?

No, thanks.

Well, sit down.
What can I do for you?

Well, you'll excuse me
for being blunt, Mr. Virgil.

Uh...

Tell me, Mr. Virgil, uh,

are you a good detective?

Well, naturally.

Hm. Uh, where did you
get your training?

In the Army.
Intelligence G-2.

Well, were you good
at your job?

We won the war,
didn't we?

Before that I was
a vaudeville hoofer,

professional wrestler,
and a magician's assistant.

So you can see, I'm a man
of wide experience, Mr., uh...

Kent. Michael Kent.

See how I wormed that
name out of you?

Uh, Mr. Virgil, I'm here
on a very delicate matter.

I suppose you're married?
Yes.

I know what I'm doing
is not quite the right thing--

But what you suspect your wife
is doing is even worse?

The fact of the matter
is, Mr. Virgil

my wife is leaving
day after tomorrow

on a South American
cruise,

and, well, she insists
on going without me.

Mm. To a man of your nature,
that means only one thing:

another man
on the boat.

See, I don't know. That's what
I want you to find out.

Well, you've come to
the right man.

I've handled so many
of these cases, I--

[PHONE RINGS]

Excuse me.

Hello.

Oh, yes, how are you?

Well, certainly
I shadowed your wife.

I hate to tell you this,
but you were right.

She's been two-timing you.

[THUD]

Hello? Hello?

He fainted.

Sometimes there's a shot.

Now, where were we?

Well, Mr. Virgil, I want you
to get on the same boat

with my wife
and shadow her.

I'll have to leave
all of my business.

I'll make it up to you.

I can tell you right now
without batting an eyelash,

it'll cost you $1000 a week.

Well, that's a little steep,
isn't it, old boy?

Yes, yes, it is,
but I'll probably get seasick.

Well, all right, all right.
I'll book your passage.

Move your chair closer,
will you?

There's a little confidential
information I must have.

[PHONE RINGS]

Oh, excuse me.

Hello.

[GUNSHOT]

Well, what do you know?

He didn't even wait
for me to tell him.

[♪]

MICHAEL:
It still isn't
too late, darling.

Can't you wait
two or three weeks?

Don't be ridiculous.

Here I am, we're
sailing any minute.

Well, I can get you off
the boat in a while.

Will you please not worry about
me? I'll be back in no time.

Yeah, I know, but I'm gonna
miss you so much.

You just have the feeling
that I'm always near you.

I'll try. And, darling,
I want you to remember

that wherever you are,
I'll be watching over you.

Oh, what a lovely
sentiment.

Oh, isn't that
the warning whistle?

Well, I didn't hear anything.
Did you, uncle?

The whistle?
Yes, sure I heard.

I still hear it.

Well, goodbye, darling.

Goodbye.

Have fun.

Come along, uncle.

Well, goodbye, darling.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

[FOGHORN BLOWS]

I didn't lie, just the whistle
is a little late.

I understand running
away from me,

but not on such
an elaborate scale.

It was very sweet of you
to come down. Goodbye.

I'll give you
one more chance to explain.

Where did you get
the money to go on this cruise?

I told you.
You didn't tell me.

That's right, I told you
I couldn't tell you.

Ah, you treat me
like an empty suit.

Are you
going with somebody?

Scouts honor,
I'm traveling alone.

That's no fun. Georgia,
I won't let you do this.

It's not only walking out
on your job and me,

once you go, you cut down
my list of friends 100 percent.

Think of that.
I have thought about it.

That's the gratitude
I get.

I taught you everything
you know, gave you a career.

I picked you up when you were
working behind a ribbon counter

for $45 a week and gave you
a job at the club.

At a snappy 40 a week.

You can't expect to start
at the top,

although I've often
wondered why not.

Oscar, you better go.

I have so many things to do
before we sail.

I know when I'm not wanted.
It happens to me constantly.

Oscar.

Aren't you gonna kiss me?

I don't know how.
Will you show me?

You don't know how either.

[FOGHORN BLOWS]

B flat, that's your key.

Don't forget
to put your shoes

in front of the cabin
every night.

Be sure to write.
I will.

You sure you're not
going with somebody?

Goodbye, Oscar.

You sure everything's
gonna be all right?

Don't worry.

I want you to write me
every chance you get.

If what I have to report
can't go through the mails,

I-I'll phone you.
All right.

I've had a lot of these cases.
I hope what I'm doing is right.

You're all right.

Everything's all right.
Okay.

Oh, excuse me.
Sorry.

Should I wait for you?

You'd better go with Michael.
He might get suspicious.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Come in.

All clear?
Yes. Nobody here but my uncle.

And I am practically
gone already.

Have a nice trip, my da--
Oh, pardon me.

You have a-- Oh, excuse me.

See you later.
Yes, all right.

Good luck to you.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.
You all right?

Oh, you don't know
what a tough time I had

getting rid of my boyfriend.

Phew. I'm beat.

Uh, Georgia--
I mean, Elvira,

because that's gonna be your
name for the next few months.

--please be careful
of your speech.

Mrs. Kent may be fatigued,
but she's never beat.

Okay, I'm fatigued,
but my feet hurt.

Eh-- Excuse me.
Michael!

Michael. I thought I lost you.

Well, you see,
I was just seeing a friend

about some business
in South America.

Well, goodbye, Georgia.
Best of luck.

Have a wonderful trip.
Thanks.

Oh, and I almost forgot
to tell you, I overtip.

Okay. It's your money.
That's right.

Now let me see,
checked the passenger list,

nobody knows me.
So far so good.

Now here.

I've written letters
to my husband

addressed from
various ports.

Please be sure to mail them
one by one

at each place you stop.
Uh-huh.

That ought to convince him.
It's a cinch.

Well, goodbye again
and good luck to you.

Oh, I almost forgot
the most important thing.

How do you feel about men?

They're grand. I mean, they're
the most important thing.

With your figure and my name,

the men will be
flocking after you.

Say, that's happened to me
plenty under my own name.

Well, just remember, while your
lips are being kissed,

it's my reputation
that's suffering.

Yeah, I'll make a note of that.
Good.

[FOGHORN BLOWS]

Oh, dear, I'm liable
to be trapped on the boat.

Well, goodbye, Georgia.
Goodbye.

I hope you make me
very proud of me.

I'll try.

Oh, do me a favor,
have a wonderful time,

but please stay in your cabin
as much as possible,

and as alone as possible.

I'll make a note of that too
and underline it.

Good. Bye.

[SIGHS]

[CHIMING]

All ashore
that's going ashore.

[♪]

What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with you?
I think I for-- I forget.

Forget what?
I for--

Nothing at all.

I think I get seasick.

The ship isn't even moving.
Why didn't you tell me that?

[♪]

[PEOPLE CHATTERING,
SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Late for work, aren't you?

Could you tell me what table
Mrs. Elvira Kent has reserved?

Table 64.
Is that where you're stationed?

What do you mean?
Aren't you a new waiter?

Me? Certainly not.
I'm a passenger.

I've got one of the most
luxurious cabins on the boat.

Oh, I beg your pardon.
You certainly should.

If I were not a headwaiter,
I'd be flustered.

Uh... What gave you the idea
I was working here?

It was a natural mistake.

You see, onboard, no one dresses
the first night out.

Oh.

Well, what's good enough for you
is good enough for me.

[GASPS]

Oh, I'm so sorry.

A votre santé.

My dear young lady.
Yes?

I advise you to go to your cabin
and get out of your clothes.

Pardon?
Don't go in there.

You'll be frightfully
embarrassed.

Embarrassed? Why?

Nobody dresses
the first night out.

They don't?

Even if it's chilly?

This I gotta see.

[GIGGLES]

You mean
nobody dresses up.

Of course.
Didn't you know that?

Then what are you doing
in that monkey suit?

Confidentially,
this is my first boat trip too.

Really?
Yes.

My dear man,
I've been on more world cruises

than you could shake a stick at.

It's just that compared
to my other gowns,

I don't consider this very
formal, that's all.

Is that so? Well, if you
don't consider that formal,

I, uh... I'd like to see
the rest of your wardrobe.

Mrs. Elvira Kent.

I have one little item--
MAN: Paging Mrs. Kent.

--that's backless, strapless,
almost frontless.

Mrs. Elvira Kent.

Toujours sensa--
Mrs. Elvira Kent.

Oh, my goodness. Mrs. Elvira
Kent, that's me. Hey, boy.

Are you Mrs. Kent?
Natch. I mean, naturally.

Radiogram.
Oh, thank you.

Just a moment.
May I?

No, no, I'll take care of it.
Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.
That's all right.

I'm told I overtip.

Really?

Would you excuse me, please?
Yes, certainly.

"Don't dress first night out."

Now she tells me.

Mrs. Kent,
now that I know your name,

perhaps it's fair
you should know mine.

It's immaterial.
It's Peter Virgil.

I was wondering if you're
as hungry as Mr. Virgil.

I could eat a cow.

Then our dress notwithstanding,
will you have dinner with me?

If I'm overdressed,
I might as well overeat.

Unless you have some other
dinner engagement?

Oh, no, no, no.

Oh, now, surely you must have
some friends onboard.

I don't mean male friends.

I mean, girlfriends
often go on cruises together.

I don't know a soul on this tub.
Huh?

Except Mr. Peter Virgil.

Well, then, chin up,
eyes straight ahead,

and what care we
if the peasants stare.

Carry on.

Oh, waiter.

Come here.
Table for two, please.

Oh, I'm very sorry, the dining
room's just been closed.

What do you mean,
closed?

First you ritz me,
then you try to starve

two perfectly good
paying customers.

Eh, eh, eh.
The man is only doing his duty.

After all, it's our fault
that we dawdled.

Did we dawdle?
Mm-hm.

Just the same, thanks ever so.

Why don't you try
the cocktail lounge?

The pretzels are delicious.
[BOTH LAUGH WEAKLY]

That's an excellent suggestion.
I'm famished.

PETER: More pretzels, please.
MAN: More pretzels. Yes, sir.

Yes, thank you.

Tell me, Mr. Virgil,
what business are you in?

I stick my nose
into other people's business.

You know how it is
when a man's retired.

Retired? Retired from what?

I, uh, I made my fortune
in the entertainment business.

Oh, really?
Mm-hm.

I invented a new system
for clearing audiences

out of theaters.

You're cute. You know something?
Thank you. What?

I've always had an ambition

to be a singer.
Is that so?

Most singers have secret
ambitions to be society dames.

I don't see why you're wasting
your time with a married woman

when there's many attractive
single girls.

Oh, yes, yes.

The single girls
look for husbands,

while married women
run from their husbands.

Frankly, I'd rather be
with those that are running

than with those
that are looking.

Don't you want
to be married?

Well, most husbands I know
speak very poorly of marriage.

What do you think
of your marriage?

Would you believe I haven't felt
married for a minute?

Yours must be
a very unusual marriage.

It certainly is.

I think we had quite enough
dinner, thank you.

What would you
like to do now?

I wish I could.

[PLAYING LIGHT JAZZ MELODY]

Isn't that lovely?

Hello.
Good evening.

Oh, then you do sing?
A little.

You know this song?
Yes.

Could you raise it a little,
please?

Sure. B flat, fellas.

Reverse charges? Oh.

Just one moment, please.

Havana calling, Mr. Kent.
Wishes to reverse the charges.

Oh. Oh, yes.
I'll accept it.

Hello.

Yes, yes, I'll accept
the charges. Hello. Who?

It's me, Peter Virgil.

We're in Havana. I thought
I'd call and give you the news.

Yes, yes, of course.
Well, what is the news?

No news.
What do you mean, "no news"?

She hasn't even looked
at another man.

Professionally,
I'm very disappointed.

Well, personally, I'm not.

You mean she really
hasn't spoken to another man?

Well, she's spoken to me.

What? Y-you two know
each other already?

Well, naturally,
I had to make her acquaintance.

Well, was it difficult?

Tell me, uh, who spoke first?

I did--
Look, don't worry.

The slogan of my firm is
"Never kiss a client's wife."

Well, don't change slogans

Hello, is this Mrs. Elvira Kent?

Yes.

It is? Well, this is
Mrs. Elvira Kent speaking.

Oh, excuse me, this is Georgia,
Georgia Garrett.

I'm taking my work so seriously
I already don't know who I am.

Good. Have you been sticking
close to your cabin?

Have I?
I've only spoken to one man,

and he's harmless, quite.

I thought I warned you
about that.

Well, I figured if I don't
speak to any men at all,

it's sure to attract
attention to me, you see.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. Kent,
I know it's none of my business,

but have you got anything
on your husband yet?

I'm afraid his conduct
has been impeccable.

Ooh, caught him with the goods,
huh?

No. That means he's been
behaving himself.

Oh, too bad.
Well, maybe he'll do something

unimpeccable before I come back.

Well, goodbye. And look,
keep in touch with me, will you?

Okay. Goodbye.

Oh, I thought you
were waiting outside.

Well, I-I suddenly remembered
I had to call New York.

Girlfriend, huh?
No, no, business. And you?

I was calling New York too.

Boyfriend, huh?

Better than a boyfriend.
My husband.

You were talking
to your husband just now?

I just hung up.
Does that surprise you?

Yes, it certainly does. I--

Poor darling.
He was home waiting for my call.

He's quite a treasure.
I think I'll send him a letter.

Well, uh, don't you
have to write it first?

Oh, no, I'm way ahead

Here you are.
Gracias, gracias.

Will you have dinner
with me tonight?

Why not? We've had it together
every night so far.

Just a moment, sir.
I gotta catch that boat.

Your tickets.

What's the matter,
don't you trust me?

Your table or mine?

Say, I've got an idea.
What about table nine?

Table nine?
That's in a nice dark corner.

Georgia!

[GASPS]
What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.
If I'm gonna be ready in time,

I'd better start
dressing right now.

Wait a minute. What's the hurry?
I'll see you later.

[♪]

OSCAR:
Georgia!

May I help you, sir?

Well, you're not exactly my
type, but you can take my bags.

Good evening, madam.
Good evening.

Did you give the message
to Mr. Virgil?

Yes, madam. I told him
that you weren't having dinner

because you were indisposed.

Thank you.
Yes, madam.

Did you bring
a little herring?

Yes, madam. Marinated.

Uh, the purse is right over
there, help yourself.

It's all right,
I overtip.

Thank you so much, ma'am.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Who is it?

It's me, Peter.
How do you feel?

Terrible. Just terrible.

Well, we'll fix you right up.
I brought you a doctor.

I don't need a doctor.
I just want to be left alone.

I can't stand in this passageway
all night, young lady.

It's drafty,
and I'm--I'm catching cold.

[COUGHS]

Take two aspirins and go to bed.

DOCTOR:
Thank you very much.
Sounds like a very good idea.

I'll do that. But first,
I'll have to examine you.

It might be something
contagious, you know.

GEORGIA:
All right, doctor.
Just a minute.

[WEAKLY]
Come in.

You better stay outside. We
don't want to start an epidemic.

[COUGHS]
[MOANS]

Now, tell me,
where does it hurt?

Everywhere.

Oh, well, then, I suppose we
should start looking someplace.

Yes, let me see your tongue.
[BONES CRACKING]

What's the matter?
Oh, I get dizzy when I bend.

I must be coming down
with something.

Oh, thank you very much, yes.
Oh, may I feel your pulse?

Yes, ah.

You might as well feel mine.

If you'd be so kind. Thank you.

Yes, your pulse is normal.

Yours is fast.

I was sure of it.

Well, I suppose
I ought to tap something.

Here.
Oh, thank you so much.

Now say, "Ah."

Ah.
Ah.

[COUGHS]

My diagnosis was correct.
What do you recommend, doctor?

A sea voyage.
A sea--

Oh, but then we're on one,
aren't we?

I'm so sorry. How silly of me.

I'll give you an injection
and put you to sleep.

That shouldn't do you any harm.

Will it hurt, doctor?

Well, it shouldn't,
but I'm a bit clumsy, you know.

Couldn't I just
read myself to sleep?

No, I'm afraid not.
Now just one moment.

Oh!

Oh. I feel faint.

Who got jabbed, me or you?

I seem to smell food odors.

[SNIFFS]

That's always a bad sign.
And herring too.

Why do I smell herring?

I guess there's a school
of herring following the ship.

No, no, not marinated herring.

Oh.

I don't feel so hot.

I think I better be going.

[SIGHS, COUGHS]

Good night, doctor.

Good night.

And I hope I sleep well.

I hope so.

[COUGHING]

Well, doctor?
Yes, she'll live,

but I can't make any prediction
about myself.

Would you mind helping me
to my cabin?

Not at all.
Is something wrong?

Thank you very much.
I don't feel too good, I...

[♪]

Oh, mess boy.

I'm a purser.
What can I do for you?

There's something wrong
with your passenger list.

You haven't got Georgia Garrett
listed.

What was that name again?
Georgia Garrett.

Georgia as in
"marching through."

Garrett as in "starving in."

I'm sorry, if she isn't listed,
she's not onboard.

Don't be coy. I've just been
chasing her all over the ship.

Tell me, you know this tomato?

Why, certainly. This toma--

This lady is Mrs. Michael Kent.

Oh, she's Mrs. Kent now.

And what is Mrs. Kent's
stateroom?

Twenty-three, B deck.

Thank you. And take
the next two weeks off.

Sure-- What?

I haven't eaten all day.

[♪]

GEORGIA:
Come in.

Oscar, how did you get
on this boat?

I lied about my age.

You chooch.
You followed me here, huh?

That's right.

I was sitting alone
in a restaurant.

The waiter put down a check and
you weren't there to pick it up.

Oscar, please go away,

Incidentally, I picked up
your last two paychecks.

It was barely enough
to pay for my plane ticket.

Didn't even leave me enough
to buy you a present.

I feel like a cad.

You crook. You can go to jail
for that.

Marry me and you won't have
to testify against me.

I'm so sleepy.

And you know I don't love you.

I don't know whether
to believe

what I'm hearing
or what I'm feeling.

Uh, where's the radio room?

Top deck, sir,
next to the lounge.

Thanks.

I have all the seductive powers
of a sedative.

You chooch.

[MORSE CODE SIGNAL BEEPING]

Will you please send
this radiogram at once?

And send it collect.

[♪]

Good morning.

Well, good morning.

Good morning. And I use
the expression loosely.

How are you?
I feel just fine.

I think you'd be interested
to know that I feel fine too.

I was sure you would.
I wanna thank you.

You left me in good hands
last night.

Yes, yes, I saw as much.

That doctor sure gets results.

Of course,
sometimes he needs help.

Huh?

That specialist that was
called in on the case.

Specialist?

Can you explain to me
why that man

was in your cabin kissing you?

No.
Well?

Well, can you explain
why you were watching my cabin?

No.
Well?

Well, maybe--

Maybe what?

Maybe I'm narrow-minded,

but I don't like married women
who play around with other men.

Would you feel different
if the other man was you?

That's beside the point.

It is, is it?
Yes, it is.

Everything they've said
about women like you

on boats like this
turned out to be true.

Or don't you follow me?

I've wanted to, Peter,
anywhere, anytime.

Well, don't.

Peter, you can't mean that.
I ca--

I've only one thing to say
to you, Mrs. Kent:

I would certainly hate
to be Mr. Kent.

Oh, chooch.

[BAND PLAYING SLOW JAZZ MUSIC]

Good morning, madam.

Good morning.

I'd like to get higher
than a kite.

Yes, madam, uh,
what shall it be?

I don't know. I don't drink.

Well, how about, uh, cherry--?

Never mind. I'll get my kicks
my way. Just forget it.

Hi, fellas.
Hi.
Hi.

Why so glum?

I don't know. I'm in a mood,

Oh. Thanks, fellas.

Excuse me.
That was fun.

So it's you.

I accept that as a greeting.

Very funny.
Oscar, what do you want?

For one thing,
I'd like to get

this Mrs. Michael Kent
business straight.

Oh, please,
why don't you go home?

I can't swim.

Oscar, if you really love me,
you'll pretend not to know me.

Listen, I didn't come all this
way and spend all your money

to pretend I don't know you.

Does that instrument interfere
with your work?

[OSCAR PLAYING PIANO]

You're in some kind of trouble,
aren't you, honey?

The worst kind of trouble.

Oscar, I'm in love.

Don't you think you're being
a little forward?

Heh. Not with you.

That was a short romance.

It's all so complicated.

You remember the night
when that classy couple

asked me to have a drink?
Mm-hm.

GEORGIA:
They turned out to be
Mrs. Elvira Kent and her uncle,

head of a drugstore chain.

What a deal they threw my way.

A chance to cash in
on all my dreams,

so I accepted.

My first night onboard,
I met him.

There must be something about
salt air,

he looked so wonderful to me.

By the time we reached Cuba,
I was in love with him.

Head over heels,
if you know what I mean.

Oh, Havana was heaven.

And all the time I had
to pretend that who I was,

I wasn't.

Then, this morning,
what does he give me?

The gate, hinges and all.

So here I am.
He thinks I'm married.

If I kiss him, I lose him.

On the other hand,
if I tell him the truth,

who will he hate most,
a cheat or a phony?

I know you're phony
and I don't hate you.

You don't know what it's like
to want someone

and not be able
to do anything about it.

Don't I? Oh, well,

I guess I'll just have to
bury myself in my work.

[PLAYS PIANO DRAMATICALLY]

Is that your
"Brooklyn Rhapsody"?

Who said anything
about Brooklyn?

It's now called "The Caribbean
Rhapsody." I'm adaptable.

Have you finished?
I don't want to.

People will like it,
they'll make a big fuss over me.

I'll have no time.
I'll be the toast of the town.

Then what happens to that
sweet boy you and I love?

Aren't you being modest?
I have confidence in you, Oscar.

Everybody has confidence in me.
That's my trouble.

In high school, I was voted
the boy most likely to succeed.

In college, they said
I had a brilliant future.

I wonder what ever
became of me?

They didn't leave anything out

Breeze, moon, stars.

And all working overtime.

Wants a woman in his arms.

And...vice versa.

If only you weren't married.

How I wish I could tell you
I wasn't.

How easy it would be

I'd take you in my arms.

Like how?
Like this.

Then what?

On your lips I'd--
I'd plant a kiss.

Such as?

But then, you have a husband.

And you have principles.

Elvira.
Yes, Peter?

There's something I've gotta do.
I can't help myself.

Well, if you can't help
yourself,

you can't help yourself.

I gotta send a cablegram.

[SIGHS]

Another radiogram
to be sent at once.

Send that one collect too.

You'll let me know
how it comes out, won't you?

[PEOPLE CHATTERING,
FOGHORN BLOWING]

Mrs. Kent,
a message from Mr. Farrar.

I have a message for you
from Mr. Virgil.

I'm first.
Mr. Farrar would like you

to join him at the Flambio
for dinner.

That's my message.

Mr. Virgil said he had
to go ashore to make a call

and would you please meet him
at the Flambio?

Flambio?

You on the same boat?

Yeah, the Southern Queen.

Ah.

[BAND PLAYING CALYPSO MUSIC]

Good evening.
What is your pleasure?

A double.
A double what?

Double anything.

And you, sir?

The same.

Ahh. Women.

I agree with you 100 percent.

They're a bad influence
on a man.

Not only that,
but they're habit-forming.

You know, I can't think

of one single good thing
to say about them.

That's a mighty smooth drink.

[WHISTLES]

Another.

Me too. Only this time
make mine a triple.

A triple, sir.
Very good.

Who was it, said you can't live
with them or without them?

Probably the same guy who said
more truth than poetry

and I wouldn't care to meet
either of them.

The cause of all
human suffering, you know.

To think that we gave up
a perfectly good rib.

And not that they
appreciate it.

What does yours look like?

Well...

Funny, mine looks
exactly the same.

Yeah?
I drink to your woman.

I drink to yours.

One more for me.

I likewise.

I'm beginning to feel
two those drinks.

Me too. I should have had
something to eat.

Yeah, that's always
a good idea.

Is yours a blonde too?

This season.
I've loved her as a brunette,

a brownette and a redhead.

A little peroxide
will never come between us.

[LAUGHS]

[SLURRING]
Speaking about figures,

curves?

[SLURRING]
Curves?

When you put your arm
around her waist,

you gotta go into second.
Heh.

What color are her eyes?

Well, I never could tell.

Every time I look into them
I get dizzy.

My experience, exactly.

Hey, we could be talking about
the same girl.

What's your girl's name?

Georgia. Georgia Garrett.

Georgia Garrett.

Oh, no, that's
a different girl.

Mine's gonna go be here
any minute.

I want you to meet her.

PETER:
Mine will be here too.

I bet they'll like each other
at first sight.

OSCAR:
While waiting, what do you say
we have another drink?

Just the thing. Yes, sir.

Fill 'em up again,
bartender.

That is a wonderful
suggestion.

I came through, didn't I?

Boy, you can say that again.

I come through.
Yes, sir.

Of course, the rub is
that mine's married.

How about yours,
is yours a Mrs.?

At the moment.
Ah.

I don't know about you,

but I'm really getting
a little high.

So am I.

I don't know what he puts
in those drinks,

but he's really won me over.

Dare we try another?

Second the motion.

[BOTH WHISTLE]

BARTENDER:
Coming right up.

Oh, waiter.

Yes, miss.

Do you see
those two gentlemen

sitting at the far end
of the bar?

Yes, miss.
Would you be so kind

and give them
these messages?

Thank you.

BARTENDER:
Here you are, gentlemen.

PETER: Keep the change.
Thanks.

I'm not leaving
till I get this recipe.

Excuse me.
The lady send this.

The lady send this.

What do you know,
she's standing me up.

Yeah? Well, shake hands.

Mine isn't coming down either.

I'll show her.

I've got a good mind
to catch a plane to New York.

Maybe I ought to go
to New York myself.

I'm certainly not doing
any around good here.

You mind if I go with you?

Have you got the price
of two tickets?

Oh, I got better than that.

In that case, be my guest.

Steady, steady, steady.

They'll never let us
on that plane if we're drunk.

You know, these slanting floors
will never be popular.

[♪]

Peter. Peter.

Good morning,
Mr. Virgil, it's 9:15.

Lovely day, temperature normal.

Hey, you've had
your beauty rest. Come on, get--

Excuse me, are you looking
for the gentleman?

Do you know
where Mr. Virgil is?

He didn't return
to the ship, madam.

We received a radiogram
from him and Mr. Farrar.

Mr. Farrar too.
Yes, madam.

They said they were taking
a plane to New York

and would we please
forward their baggage.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Oh. Thank you.

Thank you, madam.

[SOBS]

[♪]

ATTENDANT:
Fasten your safety belts,
please.

Fasten your safety belts,
please.

Sorry, sir, but will you fasten
your safety belt, please?

Yeah, sure.

We're landing in Rio
in a few minutes.

What? Where did you say?
Rio.

Hey, Peter, wake up.
Yeah?

Wake up.
What?

Hey, one thing I'll say
about that Trinidad liquor.

Not a sign of a hangover.

Well, maybe this
will bring it on.

That stewardess says
we're landing in Rio.

Rio? Ha.

She's probably just not used
to flying.

Would you mind
looking out the window?

[♪]

Did you ask for tickets
to New York?

I certainly did.
In my best Spanish too.

But the official language
in Trinidad is English.

Oh?

Do you suppose
that had anything to do with it?

[WHISTLING]

These from the passengers
on the Southern Queen?

No, there is another car coming.

Cigarette?

Be my guest if it doesn't
run into too much dough.

Here.
After you.

Thank you.

Hm.

Hey, we can check right now.
Here's a bulletin board.

Due today, Southern Queen.

We better get down
and claim our baggage

before they ship it
back to New York.

Yeah. Well, look, you go,
will you?

My girl's onboard.

She'll think
I'm running after her.

My girl's onboard too.

Let's make 'em both suffer.
Calling Mr. Virgil.

Hey.
Calling Mr. Virgil.

Hey, Virgil, that's me.

Pardon, Mr. Virgil,

there is a phone call for you
from New York.

You can take it
on a house phone here.

New Yo--

New York?

Tell them to transfer

my unemployment insurance
down here.

PETER:
Hello?

Hello? Hello, Virgil?

Uh-- Uh-- Uh...
Uh-huh.

Well? What's happened?

Well, how have you been?
How's the weather up there?

Listen, I didn't call you 5000
miles to discuss the weather.

As a matter of fact,
it's a very nice day here.

That's funny,
it's a nice day here too.

Never mind that. Why haven't you
called me in all this time?

Well, that's-- That's because

I didn't want to give you
the bad news.

Bad news? What's the bad news?

Hold on for a minute.

Something new
has just developed.

Elvira.

Peter.

Hello? Hello?

I don't know what to say--

How silly for you
to try to run away.

Think of the time we've wasted.

It took me those few days
to make me realize

that you don't really love
your husband.

Not another word
about my husband.

Would it be wrong
if I said I loved you?

It would be wrong
if you didn't.

Aren't you going
to introduce me?

Darling.

Always thinking of your own
selfish pleasures.

I'll try the other shoulder.
Hm? Huh.

Oh, darling,

this is my boon drinking
companion, Oscar Farrar.

Oscar, this is Elvira Kent.

How do you do, Mr. Farrar.

You can't imagine my feelings
at meeting you.

In that case,
try to imagine mine.

[CHUCKLES]

[BOTH LAUGH]

Say Oscar, is she anything
like your girlfriend?

You mean Georgia?

Oh, no, not at all.

Well, I have to phone down
about the baggage.

Phone? Oh, excuse me.

Oh, thanks, Oscar.

Do you get the feeling
you're growing away from me?

You're a peach. Thank you.

I'm used to that.

Hello, Mr. Kent.

Virgil, what took you so long?

Believe me, it was all
in the line of duty.

Listen, Virgil, what's been
happening with my wife?

Plenty.

Well-- Well, tell me.

I-- I'm a grown man.
How bad is it?

Pretty bad. I'm a grown man too
and I hope it gets worse.

This connection must be bad.

I can't understand
what you're babbling.

But whatever it is,
do something to stop her.

Oh, I'm going crazy here.

Mr. Kent, I've been taking your
money under false pretenses.

I'd advise you to give me
my two weeks notice.

Goodbye.

Huh?

[BUZZES]

Yes, Mr. Kent?

Miss Medwick,
get me my broker.

Call Randall.

I want to check the change
in the routine shipping report.

Also get the wire
that came yesterday

concerning the Canadian merger.

Anything new, Humphrey?
No, ma'am.

It all looks very businesslike
and proper to me.

Oh.
Uh, let-- Let me for a minute.

E-Excuse me.

Mm-hm.

Oh, he's talking to her.

So sh-she's going out
of the room

without even looking backward.

Uh, you can go to lunch,
Humphrey.

After all these weeks,

you'd think he'd give her
a pinch or a pat.

On the shoulder, I mean.

Uh, you sound disappointed
that he hasn't.

I think I'll see what else
is happening.

Wait-- Wait a minute.
You know, it's very irritating.

Here I give up a perfectly
wonderful cruise

to trap my husband
and what happens? Nothing.

Just goes to show
you can't trust men.

And that girl that's having
a perfectly wonderful time

under my name,

I haven't heard a thing
from her in days.

Who knows
what's going on there.

Just goes to show
you can't trust women either.

The best thing you can do,
Elvira,

is to get on the first plane
to Rio.

What for?

Then you can phone Michael
to join you

and you can take the boat back
together.

Half a cruise
with a whole husband

is better than no cruise
with no husband.

Maybe you're right.
Come on, let's go.

Oh, and this one
too.

You know what to do
while I'm gone.

Yes.
The car is downstairs.

Your bags are in it.

Thank you.
I'll be right with you.

Get some new displays pushing
hair tonic and triple malts.

Yes.
Miss Medwick, pack those too.

Now, if anything comes up,
wire me at the Hotel Atlantico.

Yes, sir.
Here's your briefcase.

Thank you.
And bon voyage.

We'll all miss you.
Thank you.

Hello.
Where have you been?

I was seeing a lady friend
of mine off at the airport.

Well, you can see me off too.
I'm leaving for Rio.

Rio--? Rio--? When?
Immediately.

I have a chartered plane
waiting.

I-is that as fast
as going by regular airlines?

Much faster. I want to get there
as soon as possible.

Mi-- Michael, you have company.
I am going with you.

Oh, Michael...

[PIANO PLAYING ATONAL MUSIC]

Good, good, good.
But I'm not interested.

What can I do with that type
of music in my show?

Mr. Plinio,
take my advice,

as one musician to another,
you need me.

Mr. Farrar,
as one businessman to another,

I can't afford you,
You can't afford me?

Why, money is of the utmost
indifference to me.

All I want
is a chance to play.

That's not the point.

I'm spending a fortune
to redecorate this place,

so I can reopen in time
for the Carnival.

And to get my investment back,
I need an attraction.

A real attraction.

I need someone with a name.

What do you think my mother
gave me, a number?

Let me play it again.

Very generous of you,
but I can't use it.

That's what I admire about you.
You have such an open mind.

She not only sounds good,
she looks good.

Take it from me, that girl
has all sorts of talent.

Do you want to sign her up?

She could be the finest singer
in the world,

but if she hasn't got a name...

What do you mean,
she has no name?

Why, that's
Mrs. Elvira Kent,

one of the classiest
society dames in New York.

Mrs. Elvira Kent?

Why, when she came out, she made
all the other debutantes

look like social climbers.

A society singer.
That's right, and very talented.

That could be something new
around here.

Want me to talk to her?
Oh, no, no.

You wouldn't know how to handle
an important lady like that.

I'll-- I'll talk to her.

Mrs. Kent, you will not
be angry with me?

Why should I be angry with you?

Well, I-- I was about
to offer you a contract

to sing in my Casino Room.

I beg your pardon?

I knew you would be offended,

but it's a good proposition.

A thousand dollars a week.

A thousand bucks--?
Dollars. For me?

Of course,
it's obviously nothing

for a lady in your position
but, uh,

if I said a thousand,
I can say 2500.

Are you kidding?
Once you say 2500,

it's not difficult to say 5000.

After you pay your taxes here
and in United States,

it will cost you very little.

I'll tell you what I'll do,
Mr. Plinio.

I'll sing for you
for a thousand a week.

What?
But not as Elvira Kent.

Oh!

Well, suppose I took
another name. Any name.

Let's say Georgia Garrett,
for instance.

What's wrong with that?
Listen, honeybunch,

if you use a name
like Georgia Garrett

and sang like an angel even,

I could still shoot llamas
in the balcony.

But if I had Mrs. Elvira Kent--
Did I say 5000? I mean seven.

Okay. I'll do it.

Wonderful. Wonderful.
It's no accident

that I happen to have
the contract right with me.

Ah-ha. What a coincidence.
Here.

Señora, I predict
that you are going to be

the greatest attraction
I ever had.

I know she will.
Thank you.

I'm only sorry that your husband
will not be here to see you.

Oh, I'm so sorry too,
but he's such a busybody.

Uh, well, goodbye.
See you later.

Goodbye.
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]

How do you do?
Oh, how do you do, sir?

Can you tell me where
I can find Mr. Peter Virgil?

Mr. Peter Virgil?
Yes.

I believe you'll find him
in the Casino Room.

Thank you.
I-- I stay here and register.

Where's the house telephone?

Uh, you may use
this phone right here.

Mrs. Michael Kent, please.

Ahem.
Mrs. Michael Ken--

Thank you,
but what's the number.

314.

Why don't you go up
and rest for awhile.

I'm not tired.
Just excited and happy.

Yeah, but by tonight
you'll be slaphappy.

You're not used to this
professional grind.

Take the advice
of an old trouper.

While you can, go upstairs
and catch 40 winks.

I'll need 80 now.
[CHUCKLES]

Pardon me.

[SIGHS]

Mr. Kent. I didn't know
that you were coming down here.

After that double-talk
telephone conversation,

where did you
expect me to be?

I'm kind of glad
you did come down.

I want to explain
the problem I'm facing.

All you need to explain
is the meaning of this.

Oh, that just means

that your wife has
a wonderful voice, that's all.

My wife has a terrible voice,
and that's not all.

I didn't pay you to let her sing
in a nightclub.

I was hired
to shadow your wife.

I mean, to stop her from singing
would have been extra.

Oh! What about that man?
That other man?

Well, I, uh...

I've almost finished a complete
written report, Mr. Kent.

I don't want a written report,
I want my wife.

Where is she?

Uh, well, uh,
she's around somewhere.

Oh, she's around somewhere.

A fine detective you are.

No, I'm gonna do
the decent thing.

Your wife is in her room,
Mr. Kent. Go to her.

What?

Maybe it was just being away.

Maybe she does
really still love you.

Maybe it was the tropical skies.

Maybe it was just--

Maybe you can tell me
what you're raving about.

I don't know.
You what?

I mean, it hurts too much
to talk about it.

Go to her, Mr. Kent.

It's the best thing
for everybody.

[BLOWS]

Mrs. Michael Kent,
she is not in her room.

I just saw Mrs. Kent
step into the elevator.

Oh, the elevator. Yes.

Where you going?

Nowhere.

Say, what's the matter
with you?

Mrs. Michael Kent's room,
please.

Is Mrs. Kent expecting you?

What difference does that make?
I'm Mr. Kent.

Oh. Oh! Heh.

Uh, Room 314.

Thank you. Come on.
You're welcome.

I said, come on.
Good, good, good.

Uh, I was going off duty
in 10 minutes,

but I think I'll stay.

Michael, I-- I think
it's better you go alone.

I don't want to spoil
your nice reunion.

Going up, sir?
Yes. All right, uncle.

Hello?

[SPEAKING IN PORTUGUESE]

Yes?

Darling, I want to--

[GASPS]

Oh, I-- I beg your pardon.

I-- I must be
in the wrong room.

Really?
If it was the right room,

that's no way
to open the door.

Yes, you're so right.

I-- I'm so sorry.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Would you like to play
a little three-handed gin?

That's all I need.

GEORGIA:
Come in.

Say, you gave me
the wrong room number.

My wife isn't in 314.

I'm sorry, but she is,
Mr. Kent.

Oh, but there's a strange girl
up there.

You'd better look it up again.

314 is correct, Mr. Kent.

Heh! Rio is getting
more like Paris everyday.

Don't be so excited.

Now, let me get this straight.
You mean Mr. Kent is here?

That's right.
Your husband.

If we have a fourth,
we can play bridge.

Shut up, Oscar.
I've got to think.

You have no time to think.
You must leave immediately.

What's the matter?
Bec-- Shut up, Oscar.

[KNOCK AT DOOR]

Michael. Come, come, come.

GEORGIA:
Me and my ambition
to travel.

[KNOCKING CONTINUES]

Darling.

Darling, it's me, Michael.

Who are you
and what do you want?

Isn't this Room 314?
That it is.

Well, isn't this
Mrs. Michael Kent's room?

Do I look like
a Mrs. Michael Kent?

I must be dreaming. I--

Well, uh--

Wasn't there a woman in this bed
five minutes ago?

I'm no blabbermouth.
Get out or--

All right, excuse me.
I'm sorry.

It must have been
that plane trip I took.

My goodness, it's getting
so that a man isn't safe

around here
at Carnival time.

Now, run along. Run along.
All right, I'm sorry.

It was my mistake.
I didn't mean any trouble by it.

What are we gonna do now?
He's sure to find out.

First put on some decent
clothes. I'll start packing.

That's right. I-- I will help
you, darling. Come, come.

Mr. Lazlo!

I take off my glasses.
Come, come.

Ooh!

Oh.

What is the number
of Mrs. Michael Kent's room?

314. Who, may I ask, is calling?

Mrs. Michael Kent,
and I'll be back.

What if there is bloodshed
in 314?

We're going to do the whole
third floor over anyhow.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I'm checking out.

Is there something wrong?
Yeah. Everything.

Mr. Virgil.
What's the matter?

I'm going crazy.
I'm going insane.

I can't find my wife.
She's disappeared.

She probably just
couldn't face you.

For heaven's sake,
what's this all about?

I might as well
tell you the truth.

Mr. Kent, I've fallen in love
with your wife.

You what?
And she's in love with me.

What?
The only thing I'm ashamed of...

is it was on your time.

Virgil. Peter Virgil,
you're fired.

Your bill,
Mr. Virgil.

Oh, Mrs. Kent.

A fine job
you've done for me.

So I'm going to sing tonight,
am I?

Excuse me. It seems
I'm caught between two bags.

[GASPS]

Oh, and I see the way you've
taken care of my reputation!

Uncle Lazlo, you too?

Yes, me too.

Well, I am surprised.

You are--
You are not surprised yet.

You will be surprised
when I tell you

that Michael is here too.

What?

Yes.
Oh, what am I gonna do?

I have a wonderful idea.

We will tell him that--

It's not good. No.

I just want to find out who's
in that bed now, that's all.

Darling!

Oh, so you finally made it?

Oh, Michael,
I'm so glad you came.

It's been so lonely without you.

That's not the way I heard it.

Oh, I know all about
your little escapades.

This Peter Virgil
you think you're in love with

happens to be
a private detective.

I hired him to shadow you.

Everything you've done
has been reported to me.

That's a lie.
How do you do?

Peter Virgil is not
a detective

and he hasn't met your wife.
You're back!

You can't deny there's something
between you and Virgil.

He confessed everything to me
just before he checked out.

Checked out?
Oh, I gotta go!

Say, what has she got to do
with this?

[DOOR CLOSES]
Michael, if--

Elvira, you'd better tell me.
Tell me.

Michael, I can't--
[CRASH]

A-ha!

[GASPS]

Who are you?
What are you doing here?

Don't you think we've been
seeing too much of each other?

Elvira, what's the meaning
of this?

Uncle! Why are you hiding
in the closet?

I-- I will--
I will tell you.

It's awful. There is such
a hurly-burly in this Rio.

I was happy to find
a quiet place.

Quiet place?

[BAND PLAYING FESTIVE MUSIC]

[INAUDIBLE]

[INAUDIBLE]

Well, you're not gonna sing
and that's final.

Well, shout all you want to.

They paid to see
Mrs. Elvira Kent,

and that's who they'll see.

Oh, no, they're not.

But, Michael, it'll be fun.

Why, I sang for the Milk Fund
benefit, didn't I?

Yes, and for two years
after that

everyone was drinking
their coffee black.

But, Oscar,
the contract is illegal.

I said I was Elvira Kent.

But you had Mrs. Kent's
permission to use her name.

They can ask her.

Please, Oscar,
let's forget it.

No, you've gotta do it
for the sake of your country.

If Elvira ever gets out there
to sing,

she'll set the Good Neighbor
policy back 20 years.

I suppose if I'm lucky,

they'll take me back
at the Club Casa.

Five shows nightly
at 40 a week.

And I can go back to haunting
the travel bureau,

piling up literature
on places I'll never see.

Maybe if I'm very lucky,

I'll meet a man who won't just
pretend to be in love with me

because it's his job.

Who are you to complain?

If Peter's a phony
that makes two of you.

You two should be
very happy together.

The only thing is, he left
thinking I was Elvira Kent.

Now I'll never know how he feels
about Georgia Garrett.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Why, Mr. Virgil, I thought
you went back to the States.

I was going, but I didn't.

I beg your pardon, sir?

Can I help it
if I can't help it?

Yes, sir. Waiter,
table for Mr. Virgil.

This way, sir.

[FESTIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

[INAUDIBLE]

[MUSIC ENDS]

[APPLAUSE]

And now, it is my great pleasure

to introduce to you

the star of our show.

The beautiful
New York society lady

who will charm you
with her singing.

Mrs. Elvira Kent.

[APPLAUSE]

ELVIRA:
Just a moment, please.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I came here tonight with every
intention of singing for you,

but first, I'd like you to hear
from a very good friend of mine.

She's a girl
who dreamt for years

of visiting
your beautiful country

and always wanted the chance
to sing in a glamorous place

before a distinguished audience.

Will you give her that chance?

Thank you very much.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Miss Georgia Garrett.

[APPLAUSE]

Oh, it's magic.

It sure is.

Oh! A fine detective
I turn out to be.

I didn't do so well
as a married woman either.

You need practice.
