And with Bank Holiday and with a 00:59.600 --> 01:03.520 performance of Bonita Granville, Roma wines hope indeed to keep you in... 01:03.520 --> 01:06.520 Suspense! 01:09.560 --> 01:14.640 It happened the morning after I became engaged to Harold. I got to the bank a 01:14.640 --> 01:18.240 little early that morning, hoping I'd be able to see him for a minute before we 01:18.240 --> 01:22.120 opened for business. And sure enough, Harold was just hanging up his hat and 01:22.120 --> 01:26.760 coat when I came in the door. You see, I'm one of the junior tellers at the main 01:26.760 --> 01:32.560 branch here in town, or rather I was, and Harold is assistant manager. That's how 01:32.560 --> 01:37.200 we met. So this morning I didn't stop at my own cage but went on through the gate 01:37.200 --> 01:45.240 and walked up quietly behind Harold. Hello darling. What? Why Mr. Osborne, don't you 01:45.240 --> 01:49.280 remember me? I'm the girl that you're... Jane, please. Good morning Mr. Osborne. Oh, good morning 01:49.280 --> 01:56.720 Johnson. Miss Evans, would you step into my office for a moment? Certainly. 01:58.600 --> 02:04.320 Jane, really, you mustn't. Mustn't what? It didn't do anything. I just said... 02:04.320 --> 02:08.480 Suppose someone had overheard. Don't you see how... What if they had? They'll all know about it in a 02:08.480 --> 02:12.960 day or two anyway. That's just the point, my dear. They mustn't. They mustn't? But we're 02:12.960 --> 02:17.120 going to tell our friends, aren't we? Jane, I thought you understood all that. You 02:17.120 --> 02:21.080 know how the bank frowns on office romances. After we're married it'll be 02:21.080 --> 02:27.160 different... But Harold, this is different. We're engaged. Nevertheless, my dear, the policy of 02:27.160 --> 02:31.280 the bank distinctly is... Oh, fooey on the policy of the bank. This is our business. 02:31.280 --> 02:36.280 But Jane, the bank is my career and I'm only thinking of... Of the bank. And I'm 02:36.280 --> 02:40.720 thinking of our life together. Now Jane, please be practical. In my position here I 02:40.720 --> 02:44.600 simply must live up to the standards that the bank... The bank, the bank, the bank. 02:44.600 --> 02:51.240 Sometimes I wish I could meet somebody, just somebody, who hated banks. 02:51.520 --> 02:56.080 It wasn't a very good way to start off an engagement or even to start off a day's 02:56.080 --> 03:02.600 work for that matter. Back to my cage feeling miserable. I got out my cash for 03:02.600 --> 03:06.640 the day including the little package of 25 $1,000 bills that a client of ours 03:06.640 --> 03:11.240 always called for on Friday. We never asked why. That isn't a bank's business. 03:11.240 --> 03:16.120 And I unlocked my cash drawer and put the money away. Then it was 10 o'clock. I 03:16.120 --> 03:21.760 opened my window for business. There weren't many people in the bank yet, but 03:21.760 --> 03:28.280 at my window there were two men. Good morning. Good morning. Can I help you? 03:28.280 --> 03:32.240 Yeah, this is a stick-up. What? Just take it easy and do what we tell you and you 03:32.240 --> 03:36.200 won't get hurt. But my friend here's got a gun under that newspaper he's carrying. 03:36.200 --> 03:41.600 I love to use it, sister. What? Well, what do you want me to do? Here's a paper bag. 03:41.600 --> 03:48.200 Fill it up. All right. And don't forget those 25 G notes that George Oliver calls 03:48.200 --> 03:51.880 for every Friday. What? Don't stall. We know all about them. That's one reason 03:51.880 --> 03:58.560 we're here. And don't make any funny moves, sister, because if you do it, curtains. 03:58.840 --> 04:03.200 I'd often wondered what I'd do if this ever happened, but now I couldn't even 04:03.200 --> 04:07.760 think. As I fumbled with the money, I looked at the two men. One of them was 04:07.760 --> 04:13.320 about 35 with dark hair and a square jaw and hard blue eyes. The other, the one 04:13.320 --> 04:17.880 with the gun, was a nervous, evil-looking boy about 21. I knew they meant everything 04:17.880 --> 04:22.160 they said. I glanced sideways for a moment toward Harold's office. As luck 04:22.160 --> 04:25.400 would have it, he was just coming out the door. He must have seen that something 04:25.400 --> 04:28.880 was wrong because he started over to my window. Come on, sister, snap into it. I'm 04:28.880 --> 04:34.000 I'm trying to hurry. Who's that coming over here? It's Mr. Osborne, the manager. 04:34.000 --> 04:38.000 All right. Just don't try to make any bright conversation. I'll do the talking. 04:38.000 --> 04:42.760 Is there anything I can do here, Miss Evans? Yes. Just stand right where you are and keep 04:42.760 --> 04:47.120 quiet. What? Harold. Don't look so hurt. You've heard of Banks being held up before, 04:47.120 --> 04:52.520 haven't you? Come on, Miss, hand it over. We haven't got all day. Here you are. 04:52.520 --> 04:56.640 Thanks. We ought to take her along. Don't be crazy. Come on. We ought to take her. 04:56.640 --> 05:01.680 I know you can't do that. Miss Evans is one of my most trusted employees. 05:01.680 --> 05:06.680 And I'm his fiance. Oh, you were, are you? Jane. Now I know we're gonna take her along. 05:06.680 --> 05:10.040 You're a fool, Sonny. Oh, yeah? Well, Harold here don't think I'm so dumb, do you, Harold? 05:10.040 --> 05:12.960 Because you know what happens to your girlfriend if you set the cops on us. 05:12.960 --> 05:32.080 No. Yeah. Curtains. Don't do anything, Harold. I'll be all right. I'll be all right. 05:32.080 --> 05:36.480 For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you a star, Bonita Granville, whom you have heard 05:36.480 --> 05:41.160 on the first act of Bank Holiday by Robert Richards, which is Roma Wines' presentation 05:41.160 --> 05:51.560 tonight of Suspense. 05:51.560 --> 05:57.960 Between the acts of Suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. Elsa Maxwell is an 05:57.960 --> 06:04.240 acknowledged expert on the niceties of dining and entertaining. Recently, she said, gracious 06:04.240 --> 06:10.480 little touches can do so much to make meals more enjoyable, dined by subdued light. If 06:10.480 --> 06:17.440 possible, adjust radio or phonograph for soft, mellow music. And as the crowning touch, serve 06:17.440 --> 06:24.480 well-chilled Roma California Sauternes. A most excellent idea from Miss Maxwell. Good Roma 06:24.480 --> 06:32.320 Sauternes is pale gold, delightful in bouquet, and even more important, exquisite in taste. 06:32.320 --> 06:37.720 Created in the Roma tradition, Roma Sauternes is always unvaryingly good. The goodness of 06:37.720 --> 06:44.800 luscious grapes, selected at peak of flavor richness in sunny California's choicest vineyards, 06:44.800 --> 06:50.520 carefully pressed, then unhurriedly guided to perfection by the ancient wine skill of 06:50.520 --> 06:57.240 Roma's famed wineries. Good Roma wines are always delicious, yet cost only pennies a 06:57.240 --> 07:04.320 glass. Remember, because of uniformly fine quality at reasonable cost, more Americans 07:04.320 --> 07:13.920 enjoy Roma than any other wine. R-O-M-A, Roma wines. And now Roma wines bring back to our 07:13.920 --> 07:19.120 Hollywood sound stage, Bonita Granville, who as Jane Evans in Bank Holiday continues a 07:19.120 --> 07:33.240 narrative well calculated to keep you in suspense. 07:33.240 --> 07:37.080 Why would I tell a couple of bandits who came in to hold up the bank that I was engaged 07:37.080 --> 07:42.320 to Harold, particularly when Harold was the manager of the bank? It was crazy. But there 07:42.320 --> 07:47.080 were a lot of crazy things I did that day that I didn't understand myself until later. 07:47.080 --> 07:51.680 Naturally, when I told them that, they took me along as a hostage. And the next thing 07:51.680 --> 07:57.720 I knew, I was sitting in the front seat of a big blue car beside the one called Frank, 07:57.720 --> 08:03.560 and the other one called Sonny had tied a blindfold over my eyes. And we were driving. 08:03.560 --> 08:09.120 Once we drove in somewhere, and for 15 or 20 minutes, there was a lot of banging and 08:09.120 --> 08:15.280 clattering around the car. Then we drove on. At first, I was too frightened to even 08:15.280 --> 08:23.480 breathe. Then I began to get angry. Just what do you think you're going to do with me? 08:23.480 --> 08:25.520 To tell you the truth, I haven't quite made up my mind. 08:25.520 --> 08:26.920 Yeah, well, I have. 08:26.920 --> 08:27.920 Shut up, Sonny. 08:27.920 --> 08:29.960 I demand that at least you take this silly blindfold off. 08:29.960 --> 08:31.760 I know. We couldn't do that, darling. 08:31.760 --> 08:32.760 Well. 08:32.760 --> 08:35.360 Then you might see how we'd strip this car down just now. Change the hood and offenders 08:35.360 --> 08:36.360 and the place. 08:36.360 --> 08:37.360 Shut up, Sonny. You talk too much. 08:37.360 --> 08:38.880 What's the difference? She ain't going to be around telling you... 08:38.880 --> 08:39.880 I said shut up! 08:39.880 --> 08:41.880 What's the matter? You getting soft? 08:41.880 --> 08:45.800 No, but a bank wrap is enough without having some trigger-happy punk of a kid. 08:45.800 --> 08:46.800 You better not talk to me that way. 08:46.800 --> 08:51.800 I'll talk to you any way I want to. Watch out the back for cops. 08:51.800 --> 08:54.360 Cops? Don't think a little lady's boyfriend is kind of... 08:54.360 --> 08:58.560 I wouldn't want to bet too much on it. Would you, Miss Evans? 08:58.560 --> 09:03.600 I don't know what you're talking about. All I know is that at least Harold isn't a cowardly, 09:03.600 --> 09:04.600 bullying... 09:04.600 --> 09:10.160 Oh, I'm sure Harold is the perfect gentleman. But I got a hunch he's also the perfect banker. 09:10.160 --> 09:11.400 I don't know what you're talking about. 09:11.400 --> 09:15.360 You just don't want to admit what I'm talking about. Which is that in spite of anything 09:15.360 --> 09:17.360 that might happen to you, Harold will turn us in. 09:17.360 --> 09:19.360 He wouldn't. 09:19.360 --> 09:25.520 I don't know. Maybe we can check on that. I'll turn on the radio. 09:25.520 --> 09:26.800 What's that going to prove? 09:26.800 --> 09:27.800 Shortwave. 09:27.800 --> 09:31.360 All the latest equipment for bank robbers, sweetheart. That's us. 09:31.360 --> 09:40.360 LAPD. Car 17. Car 17. Disturbance at 8th and Pico. The disturbance at 8th and Pico. 09:40.360 --> 09:42.360 That's all. LAPD. 09:42.360 --> 09:46.360 Car 17. Roger. That's all. Car 17. 09:46.360 --> 09:47.360 Well? 09:47.360 --> 09:51.360 LAPD. General alarm. A general alarm. 09:51.360 --> 09:52.360 Uh-huh. 09:52.360 --> 09:57.360 Two unidentified men are wanted for a holdup. Main branch of the 42nd Bank and Trust Company. 09:57.360 --> 09:58.360 You see? 09:58.360 --> 10:03.360 And for kidnapping a woman employee answering to the name of Jane Evans. 10:03.360 --> 10:11.360 The last scene was wearing a light blue dress, black shoes, has blonde hair, blue eyes. 10:11.360 --> 10:12.360 He done it. 10:12.360 --> 10:14.360 See what I mean, Miss Evans? 10:14.360 --> 10:16.360 Well, it was his duty. Why shouldn't he? 10:16.360 --> 10:21.360 No reason at all. It's just a question of who rates the most with a guy, I guess. His boss or his woman. 10:21.360 --> 10:23.360 All right, he asked for it. I told him what I'd do. 10:23.360 --> 10:25.360 What are you going to do? 10:25.360 --> 10:29.360 Miss Evans, I think we'll drive up this little side road here and let you out. 10:29.360 --> 10:30.360 Oh? 10:32.360 --> 10:35.360 You shouldn't have any trouble hitching a ride back. 10:35.360 --> 10:39.360 If you do, just try what Claudette Colbert did in that picture. Remember? 10:39.360 --> 10:40.360 Say, are you kidding? 10:40.360 --> 10:44.360 You heard what they said. She was nothing but excess baggage anyway. Now she's just another way they can identify us. 10:44.360 --> 10:48.360 All right, but that don't mean we let the guy get away with it. I told him what I'd do to her if he squawked and I'm done. 10:48.360 --> 10:49.360 You're going to do what I tell you. 10:49.360 --> 10:52.360 Oh, yeah? Well, if I'd known you were so yellow, I... 10:52.360 --> 10:55.360 Now, what was that you said, Sonny? 10:55.360 --> 10:58.360 All right, Frank, but... 10:58.360 --> 10:59.360 Cops. 10:59.360 --> 11:02.360 They're turning in here. Give me your gun, Sonny, and get down on the floor under that blanket. 11:02.360 --> 11:03.360 I'll plug him, Frank. I'll plug him. 11:03.360 --> 11:04.360 Give me that gun and get down on the floor. 11:04.360 --> 11:06.360 You're nuts. They'll get us, Frank. 11:06.360 --> 11:10.360 I know what I'm doing. You do what I tell you. That's right. Keep covered up and keep quiet. 11:10.360 --> 11:11.360 All right. 11:11.360 --> 11:12.360 Take off that blindfold, Miss Evans. 11:12.360 --> 11:14.360 Well, look here, if you think... 11:14.360 --> 11:16.360 Now you're going to kiss me and you better make it good because this gun's going to be right in your ribs. 11:16.360 --> 11:17.360 All right, now. 11:17.360 --> 11:19.360 Oh, no. Let go of me. 11:20.360 --> 11:21.360 Hey. 11:23.360 --> 11:24.360 Where? 11:31.360 --> 11:32.360 You kind of startled me, officer. 11:32.360 --> 11:34.360 What are you doing here? 11:34.360 --> 11:37.360 Well, if you must know, I'm getting engaged. 11:37.360 --> 11:38.360 Is there anything wrong with that? 11:38.360 --> 11:39.360 Let me see your license. 11:39.360 --> 11:41.360 We haven't got the license yet, but we're... 11:41.360 --> 11:42.360 I want your driver's license. 11:42.360 --> 11:45.360 Oh, sure. What's the matter? 11:45.360 --> 11:46.360 Just let me see your license. 11:46.360 --> 11:49.360 Here you are. You looking for somebody? 11:49.360 --> 11:52.360 Just a couple of guys who held up a bank and kidnapped a girl. 11:52.360 --> 11:53.360 Is that right? 11:53.360 --> 11:56.360 The young lady got any identification? 11:56.360 --> 11:57.360 Well, I... 11:57.360 --> 11:58.360 Go on, tell him, honey. 11:58.360 --> 12:02.360 You see, we left town in sort of a hurry. You might call it a sort of elopement. 12:02.360 --> 12:05.360 Oh. Sort of a elopement, huh? 12:05.360 --> 12:06.360 Yes. 12:06.360 --> 12:12.360 Well, I guess you're all right. But you know, you shouldn't be parking in here in the broad daylight like this. 12:12.360 --> 12:14.360 Yeah, but you know how it is. 12:14.360 --> 12:17.360 Sure. I know how it is. 12:17.360 --> 12:20.360 You can come up for air now, sonny. They'll have it. 12:20.360 --> 12:21.360 Are you sure? 12:21.360 --> 12:22.360 Yeah. 12:26.360 --> 12:29.360 Well, Miss Evans, I'm afraid that under the circumstances, 12:29.360 --> 12:32.360 you'll have to put up with our company a little longer. 12:32.360 --> 12:35.360 There wasn't as bad as all that, was it? 12:36.360 --> 12:38.360 Well, was it? 12:39.360 --> 12:41.360 She slaps her right in the voice. 12:41.360 --> 12:43.360 Does that answer your question? 12:43.360 --> 12:46.360 Yeah. I guess it does. 12:50.360 --> 12:52.360 That was crazy, too. 12:52.360 --> 12:55.360 Here I was, my life completely in this big ape's hands, 12:55.360 --> 12:57.360 and I had to slap his face. 12:57.360 --> 13:00.360 I knew I'd made him angry, and what was even more dangerous, 13:00.360 --> 13:02.360 I'd hurt his pride. 13:02.360 --> 13:04.360 But there was nothing to do about it now. 13:04.360 --> 13:08.360 For a long time, we just drove along, and nobody said anything. 13:08.360 --> 13:12.360 We were crossing a stretch of desert, heading toward a mountain range, 13:12.360 --> 13:14.360 and had just passed through a little town. 13:14.360 --> 13:18.360 I saw the car pull out of a side road as we flashed by, 13:18.360 --> 13:20.360 but neither of the two men did. 13:20.360 --> 13:22.360 And all of a sudden, my mind began to race, 13:22.360 --> 13:25.360 thinking that maybe now was coming my chance to escape, 13:25.360 --> 13:27.360 wondering what I could do, and... 13:27.360 --> 13:31.360 and then my blood ran cold again, the way they were talking. 13:31.360 --> 13:33.360 Still heading to the same place, Frank? 13:33.360 --> 13:35.360 Yeah. 13:35.360 --> 13:36.360 Mom place? 13:36.360 --> 13:38.360 That's right. 13:38.360 --> 13:40.360 What about Miss Spitfire here? 13:40.360 --> 13:42.360 I'll take care of that when the time comes. 13:42.360 --> 13:43.360 She knows too much. 13:43.360 --> 13:45.360 That's right. 13:45.360 --> 13:48.360 If I thought you was getting soft, Frank... 13:48.360 --> 13:50.360 What would you do? 13:50.360 --> 13:52.360 Well, you know what we gotta do, don't you? 13:52.360 --> 13:53.360 Yeah. 13:53.360 --> 13:54.360 Where? 13:54.360 --> 13:57.360 Not right out here in the open desert.
