I'm so worried about him. 01:19.000 --> 01:23.000 We just located him through the Sheriff's Office Mrs. Anderson, they're bringing him over. 01:23.000 --> 01:24.000 Is he alright? 01:24.000 --> 01:27.000 He's more worried about you than you are about him. 01:27.000 --> 01:29.000 Have they told him what happened? 01:29.000 --> 01:32.000 Did they have to Mrs. Anderson? 01:32.000 --> 01:36.000 Well they don't think he did it do they? Well they mustn't think that. 01:36.000 --> 01:42.000 We don't know quite what to think. I suppose there's no doubt about the cause of death is there Doc? 01:42.000 --> 01:45.000 No doubt whatsoever, this is the gun that was used. 01:45.000 --> 01:49.000 You recognize this gun Mrs. Anderson? 01:49.000 --> 01:55.000 Yes, it's a dueling pistol. One of a brace that belonged over the fireplace in the trophy room. 01:55.000 --> 01:57.000 Funny they're being loaded. 01:57.000 --> 01:59.000 There was a reason for it. 01:59.000 --> 02:02.000 Well do you mind telling me what the reason was? 02:02.000 --> 02:05.000 I'd better start at the beginning. 02:05.000 --> 02:07.000 Yeah I think you'd better. 02:07.000 --> 02:12.000 Well Harvey, my husband and I have only been married a short time as you probably know. 02:12.000 --> 02:15.000 Well in a town this size you can't help knowing most of the vital statistics. 02:15.000 --> 02:18.000 Especially about old Judge Collins' daughter, eh Lieutenant? 02:18.000 --> 02:23.000 Yeah Doc. As I remember folks here about didn't know much about Mr. Anderson. 02:23.000 --> 02:33.000 No and neither did I. All I know was that he was good and kind and I felt so alone after my father's death. 02:33.000 --> 02:38.000 Oh I know what you're thinking but Harvey didn't kill that man. I know that. 02:38.000 --> 02:42.000 Oh I wish he were here. I feel so helpless facing this alone. 02:42.000 --> 02:44.000 You're among friends my dear. 02:44.000 --> 02:55.000 Yes, you're so very kind Doctor and you too Lieutenant. It's just that, well if they question Harvey, he might say anything trying to protect me. 02:55.000 --> 02:58.000 You sure you aren't trying to protect him Mrs. Anderson? 02:58.000 --> 03:02.000 I told you I, I'll have to start at the beginning. 03:02.000 --> 03:09.000 It was only last night that the phone call came. Harvey and I were sleeping here in this bedroom. 03:09.000 --> 03:14.000 At first I couldn't imagine what had happened. The call was an hour. 03:14.000 --> 03:33.000 One moment. Yes? 03:33.000 --> 03:35.000 Pittsburgh calling Mr. Harvey Anderson. 03:35.000 --> 03:36.000 Oh this is she. 03:36.000 --> 03:37.000 Mr. Harvey Anderson. 03:37.000 --> 03:39.000 Oh Mr. Anderson. 03:39.000 --> 03:40.000 What is it Helen? 03:40.000 --> 03:44.000 One moment. Harvey it's a long distance call from Pittsburgh. 03:44.000 --> 03:45.000 Pittsburgh? 03:45.000 --> 03:48.000 Yes, so late. Do we know anybody in Pittsburgh? 03:48.000 --> 04:08.000 Here give me the phone. Hello. Yes, alright operator. I can't imagine who's. Hello. Yes. Al. Oh, how are you? Yes. Well what are you doing in Pittsburgh? 04:08.000 --> 04:10.000 Who's Al Harvey? 04:10.000 --> 04:22.000 Yes? No, no Al. Tomorrow? No. Very well. Tomorrow. 04:22.000 --> 04:28.000 Well now who's Al and who does he think he is calling us up at three o'clock in the morning? 04:28.000 --> 04:32.000 What's wrong Harvey? Bad news? Who's Al? 04:32.000 --> 04:33.000 My brother. 04:33.000 --> 04:34.000 Brother? 04:34.000 --> 04:35.000 My brother. 04:35.000 --> 04:39.000 Harvey I never knew you had a. You never told me. 04:39.000 --> 04:42.000 The Lord said unto Cain, Where is thy brother? And Cain said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper? 04:42.000 --> 04:43.000 Makes sense Al. 04:43.000 --> 04:47.000 And the Lord answered, The blood of thy brother cryeth unto me from the ground. 04:47.000 --> 04:51.000 Yes and Eve probably took after him with a fig tree rolling. 04:51.000 --> 04:57.000 I'm not being facetious Helen. I don't know how to explain it. Something. It's just not easy to speak about it. 04:57.000 --> 04:58.000 Well obviously. 04:58.000 --> 04:59.000 No, it's not a joke. 04:59.000 --> 05:00.000 But Harvey. 05:00.000 --> 05:05.000 I'll show you. It'll be easier that way than talking about it. 05:05.000 --> 05:06.000 Where are you going? 05:06.000 --> 05:07.000 To get the papers. 05:07.000 --> 05:08.000 What papers? 05:08.000 --> 05:19.000 The papers that explain about my brother. They're locked in the safe in the trophy room. 05:19.000 --> 05:28.000 He wasn't out of the room very long, but it seemed an eternity. I sat up in bed and lit a cigarette. I was wide awake now. I was worried. 05:28.000 --> 05:37.000 I'd never seen that look on Harvey's face before. He came back with a sheaf of papers in his hand and without a word handed them to me to read. 05:37.000 --> 05:45.000 There was a good deal of legal language I didn't bother to wade through. The important thing was the signatures and the official stamps. 05:45.000 --> 06:02.000 They were commitment papers on Alan H. Anderson signed by his brother, a board of alienists and the warden of the state hospital for the criminal insane. 06:02.000 --> 06:04.000 You understand what those papers mean? 06:04.000 --> 06:08.000 Yes. Yes I do Harvey. Oh my poor, poor darling. 06:08.000 --> 06:17.000 No, no you mustn't take that view of it. I can speak of it now as if it had happened to another person not even related to me. I would prefer to do that if we're going to discuss it. 06:17.000 --> 06:18.000 How long since he... 06:18.000 --> 06:20.000 He escaped four years ago. 06:20.000 --> 06:22.000 And is he still... 06:22.000 --> 06:32.000 He was never violent all the time, just at once. He killed a woman, his wife. You can see hell and why you never knew I had a brother. 06:32.000 --> 06:41.000 Criminal insanity in one's immediate family is pleasant neither to reflect on nor to discuss. I suppose I shouldn't have played along with him as long as I have. 06:41.000 --> 06:43.000 How do you mean dear? 06:43.000 --> 06:55.000 I had a good deal of money four years ago at the time of the escape and brother Al's had every cent of it. I promised I'd never hear from him again but I guess blackmail gets into the blood. 06:55.000 --> 06:57.000 What are we going to do? 06:57.000 --> 06:58.000 Do? 06:58.000 --> 07:01.000 I don't want a man like that in my house. 07:01.000 --> 07:03.000 Helen, do you mean that you'll stick by me even... 07:03.000 --> 07:14.000 Darling, I love you. I see no reason why you should suffer for this dreadful thing. You had no control over it and it's all over and done now. You're the man I love and I'm not going to... 07:14.000 --> 07:21.000 Thanks darling. You're wonderfully understanding. But Alan Anderson is an escaped criminal. We must act accordingly. 07:21.000 --> 07:25.000 Your brother, he's coming here? 07:25.000 --> 07:28.000 He'll be in on the six o'clock train. I'll meet him at the station. 07:28.000 --> 07:29.000 Harvey, do you think you are... 07:29.000 --> 07:40.000 Leave this thing to me Helen. You have nothing to do with it. Now turn out to like darling. We better get some sleep. 07:40.000 --> 07:44.000 Harvey, what was it like? 07:44.000 --> 07:51.000 I can remember how it came on. It was horrible. Horrible. I'd almost forgotten about it until Al called just now. 07:51.000 --> 07:53.000 What about his wife? The one who... 07:53.000 --> 08:04.000 Beverly, she made a fatal mistake and I share the blame. We underestimated the seriousness of the attacks. Beverly paid with her life for our joint error of judgement. 08:04.000 --> 08:10.000 Seems a long time ago now. Brother Al. 08:10.000 --> 08:17.000 Strange how two people can grow up together, look alike, even think alike until one day something happens to one of them and it's as if they'd never known each other. 08:17.000 --> 08:19.000 What do you like Harvey? 08:19.000 --> 08:24.000 Very like me. You'll know we're brothers when you see him. 08:24.000 --> 08:28.000 Well darling, what's the use? Maybe I'd better go to the authorities before he gets here and... 08:28.000 --> 08:32.000 No, I won't hear of it. You've suffered enough. 08:32.000 --> 08:39.000 Darling, I can't tell you how wonderful you are. It doesn't make any difference. You're sure you aren't frightened? 08:39.000 --> 09:01.000 We'll be at the station at 5.30 tomorrow and... and do what has to be done. Now go to sleep darling. Go to sleep. 09:01.000 --> 09:09.000 I suppose if you want really to forget something you can and even the direct stirrings of premonition can be subdued by a good hard day of housework. 09:09.000 --> 09:16.000 I was helping Matilda and for some reason I worked with even more concentration and good spirits than usual. 09:16.000 --> 09:25.000 But somehow the doorbell intruded on that concentration. Disturbed the protective veil for a moment I guess. 09:25.000 --> 09:32.000 I seldom used the door slot. Now I did. I felt silly peeking out. 09:32.000 --> 09:33.000 Hello ma'am. 09:33.000 --> 09:38.000 Why hello Rutherford. Matilda, it's Rutherford. 09:38.000 --> 09:42.000 Excuse me, coming round the front ma'am. Tried knocking on the back but nobody answered. 09:42.000 --> 09:49.000 That's all right Rutherford. Matilda was running the vacuum for me. We didn't hear. You're early aren't you? It's only 2.30. 09:49.000 --> 09:54.000 Oh I told Till they'd expect me at 3. But I figured the train would be late and done if we didn't come in on time. 09:54.000 --> 09:56.000 Well Matilda will be right out. 09:56.000 --> 10:02.000 Oh I like tilling Miss Anson. It's mighty nice of you to give it afternoon off when my run makes town in the daytime. 10:02.000 --> 10:09.000 Well it's not often Rutherford. I don't mind. You must be tired. Your Pullmans are awfully crowded these days aren't they? 10:09.000 --> 10:18.000 Oh yes ma'am. Oh yeah I know what I want to tell you. I saw a man riding on the belforte. It's not my car. I was just passing through. 10:18.000 --> 10:25.000 Lordy Mammy looked just like your husband. Before I saw it wasn't I say hello Miss Danison. He said hello. 10:25.000 --> 10:33.000 And I say you ain't Miss Danison. And he said I am. Lord Mammy looked near enough like Miss Danison to be his brother. 10:33.000 --> 10:34.000 His brother. 10:34.000 --> 10:35.000 Spitting image. 10:35.000 --> 10:39.000 I think it might have been his brother Rutherford. 10:39.000 --> 10:40.000 You don't? 10:40.000 --> 10:41.000 Hello you. 10:41.000 --> 10:43.000 Ready Tilly? 10:43.000 --> 10:46.000 I'm ready. Come along. Bye Miss Anderson. 10:46.000 --> 10:47.000 Bye Miss Anderson. 10:47.000 --> 10:54.000 Goodbye. Rutherford did you say this man came in with you on the two thirty? 10:54.000 --> 10:56.000 Huh? Oh yes ma'am. 10:56.000 --> 10:58.000 He's here in town then. 10:58.000 --> 11:00.000 Something wrong ma'am? 11:00.000 --> 11:01.000 No I. 11:01.000 --> 11:02.000 You come over there man. 11:02.000 --> 11:05.000 Yeah yeah yeah yeah. Well goodbye Miss Anderson. 11:05.000 --> 11:10.000 Bye. The two thirty. 11:10.000 --> 11:13.000 Matilda! Matilda! 11:13.000 --> 11:17.000 Matilda! 11:17.000 --> 11:23.000 Oh. 11:23.000 --> 11:28.000 Two thirty. Harvey's brother Al had come in on the two thirty. 11:28.000 --> 11:31.000 At all costs I must not have been alone in the house when he arrived. 11:31.000 --> 11:35.000 And here he'd be arriving in three hours before we were ready for him. 11:35.000 --> 11:37.000 At any moment now. 11:37.000 --> 11:39.000 I bolted the door. 11:39.000 --> 11:42.000 Picked up the phone and started to dial the number of Harvey's office. 11:42.000 --> 11:46.000 My hand was shaking so that I fumbled the dial and had to start again. 11:46.000 --> 12:02.000 Hello? Hello Pearl. This is Helen Anderson. Is Mr. Anderson there? 12:02.000 --> 12:08.000 I'll ring his office. 12:08.000 --> 12:11.000 He don't answer honey. I guess he didn't get back from lunch yet. 12:11.000 --> 12:14.000 At three o'clock? Oh don't be silly. Try him again. 12:14.000 --> 12:17.000 Well honey he's not in there but then. I'll tell him you called. 12:17.000 --> 12:21.000 Well look connect me with Mr. Gutterby's office. It's important. 12:21.000 --> 12:24.000 Alright just a sec. 12:24.000 --> 12:25.000 Yes? 12:25.000 --> 12:26.000 Oh Ralph is Harvey there. 12:26.000 --> 12:30.000 Oh Helen. Why you. Oh no I haven't seen him since lunch. 12:30.000 --> 12:36.000 Well look Ralph. The minute he gets in or you hear from him tell him to call home at once. It's important. 12:36.000 --> 12:37.000 Sure Helen. Anything I can do? 12:37.000 --> 12:41.000 Oh no Ralph thanks. It's just a family matter. 12:41.000 --> 12:42.000 Well if I see him I'll tell him. 12:42.000 --> 12:45.000 Oh Ralph on second thought I better tell you what it is. 12:45.000 --> 12:59.000 Hello? Hello are you still on the line? Hello? 12:59.000 --> 13:04.000 The doorbell. It stabbed the air of the quiet house like a knife blade. 13:04.000 --> 13:09.000 I meant not to answer it but something made me walk over to the door and open the slot. 13:09.000 --> 13:16.000 Curiosity I suppose or perhaps something stronger than mere curiosity. Yes. 13:16.000 --> 13:19.000 Is this the Anderson residence? 13:19.000 --> 13:20.000 Yes. 13:20.000 --> 13:21.000 Mrs. Anderson? 13:21.000 --> 13:22.000 Yes. 13:22.000 --> 13:26.000 Mrs. Anderson I was given your name by Mrs. Colby down the street. 13:26.000 --> 13:28.000 She said you might be interested in our special offer. 13:28.000 --> 13:35.000 Now for only thirty cents a week or a little over four cents a day you can subscribe to any two magazines at their regular subscription rate. 13:35.000 --> 13:40.000 And this beautiful dictionary twelve hundred pages one hundred and twenty seven thousand words. 13:40.000 --> 13:43.000 Oh yes.

We sat facing each other and I, I tried to answer his questions but I, I didn't seem to be able to talk. 18:04.000 --> 18:14.000 It was a terrible self-feeding panic and I watched myself provoke the very situation I wanted to avoid because he grew more and more restless as I failed to answer him with grace or sense. 18:14.000 --> 18:24.000 I saw the corners of his mouth start working, his jaw and fingers tense. I told him I'd phoned Harvey and I fled out to the hall and up the stairs to the second floor. 18:24.000 --> 18:31.000 There was a phone in father's old trophy room. We used it for a den. I called Pearl, Harvey's secretary, but the line was busy. 18:31.000 --> 18:39.000 Then I saw the brace of dueling pistols. I think I decided then that I'd protect myself in any way that I could. 18:39.000 --> 18:43.000 I took the ammunition from the case, loaded the pistols and put them on the mantle. 18:43.000 --> 18:48.000 Then the perfectly simple solution of leaving the house by the back way came to me. 18:48.000 --> 18:49.000 Uh huh. 18:49.000 --> 18:51.000 I might be able to find Harvey and bring him back before. 18:51.000 --> 18:53.000 Yeah, I was going to ask why. 18:53.000 --> 19:02.000 If I had only thought of it sooner, of course I had to get downstairs first, past the archway that opened on the living room where he sat. 19:02.000 --> 19:12.000 I walked out into the corridor, just over to the head of the stairway I told myself softly, down the steps and around without through the back. 19:12.000 --> 19:14.000 Ellen, Ellen. 19:14.000 --> 19:17.000 I pulled back from the head of the staircase just as he appeared at the bottom. 19:17.000 --> 19:19.000 Ellen, you up there? 19:19.000 --> 19:25.000 I ran back along the hallway into the trophy room and shut the door behind me. I heard his footsteps coming upward. 19:25.000 --> 19:27.000 Ellen, Ellen. 19:27.000 --> 19:38.000 I heard him opening doors along the hallway. First he'd knock, then open the front bedroom, the guest bedroom, the second floor sitting room and then. 19:38.000 --> 19:39.000 Ellen. 19:39.000 --> 19:46.000 I was afraid to answer and afraid not to answer. He came into that room. I was afraid. 19:46.000 --> 19:48.000 Ellen. 19:48.000 --> 19:49.000 Yes? 19:49.000 --> 19:58.000 I'm sorry, I wondered where you were. You didn't come back to the drawing room. May I come in? 19:58.000 --> 20:03.000 Oh, yes, I haven't been able to reach Harvey. I've been trying everywhere. 20:03.000 --> 20:09.000 Oh, yes, my brother, my beloved brother, must reach him by all means. 20:09.000 --> 20:10.000 I've tried. 20:10.000 --> 20:19.000 Forget it. This room is a lot cozier than the front room. Couldn't we talk here? 20:19.000 --> 20:20.000 If you wish. 20:20.000 --> 20:25.000 The front room's too big. Don't like such big places. Do you? 20:25.000 --> 20:38.000 I like cozy places, cozy people too. Trouble is there's too many people who aren't cozy. Cut your throat. Love the jungle. 20:38.000 --> 20:40.000 Yes. 20:40.000 --> 20:45.000 This is a nice room. It's a nice house. Is it yours? 20:45.000 --> 20:49.000 Yes, that is my father's really. I inherited it. 20:49.000 --> 20:55.000 What are you laughing at? 20:55.000 --> 21:07.000 These trophies, these stuffed heads. I thought for a moment Harvey had gone in for the out-of-doors life. 21:07.000 --> 21:09.000 These are your father's then? 21:09.000 --> 21:10.000 Yes. 21:10.000 --> 21:18.000 That wolf's head. What savage teeth you have, said little red riding hood. Oh, look here. 21:18.000 --> 21:19.000 Don't touch those. 21:19.000 --> 21:20.000 I beg your pardon? 21:20.000 --> 21:23.000 Those guns are loaded. 21:23.000 --> 21:30.000 Loaded? You always keep loaded guns in your house? You think it's safe? 21:30.000 --> 21:32.000 Please, please put them down. 21:32.000 --> 21:44.000 Old dueling pistols. How beautiful. How many men died at sunrise because another man cocked the hammer and squeezed the trigger. 21:44.000 --> 21:45.000 Oh, don't! 21:45.000 --> 21:52.000 Oh, don't worry. I know how to handle a gun. There. Feel better? 21:52.000 --> 21:58.000 You must forgive me. I have a headache. A terrible headache. I'm all on edge. 21:58.000 --> 21:59.000 Oh, do you have headaches too? 21:59.000 --> 22:00.000 Yes, I. 22:00.000 --> 22:02.000 Oh, do I. Terrible ones. 22:02.000 --> 22:03.000 Oh, you do. 22:03.000 --> 22:06.000 So terribly painful. Sometimes they seem... 22:06.000 --> 22:08.000 What do you want? 22:08.000 --> 22:12.000 What do I want? A cigarette? Here, I'll get you. 22:12.000 --> 22:15.000 No, no, sit there. I'll get it. 22:15.000 --> 22:17.000 Thank you. Imagine. 22:17.000 --> 22:20.000 Oh! 22:20.000 --> 22:27.000 What's wrong with you? What do you want from me? I broke your lamp. I'll pay for it. What are you crying about? 22:27.000 --> 22:28.000 Stay away from me. 22:28.000 --> 22:30.000 I'll call the others. Come here. What are you afraid of? 22:30.000 --> 22:31.000 Stay away from me. 22:31.000 --> 22:33.000 Come here, do you hear me? 22:51.000 --> 22:54.000 It was horrible. Horrible. 22:54.000 --> 22:57.000 Now, take it easy, Mrs. Anderson. 22:57.000 --> 23:02.000 I must have stood there screaming. Just screaming. Looking at him. 23:02.000 --> 23:08.000 Then I just stood quiet and then you people came. 23:08.000 --> 23:13.000 Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Anderson. Shucks, I'm terribly sorry. 23:18.000 --> 23:20.000 Ah? Oh, thanks. 23:20.000 --> 23:28.000 Hello? Yeah? Oh, you did? Fine. 23:28.000 --> 23:33.000 What else? You checked it with Dr. Who? 23:33.000 --> 23:38.000 Uh-huh. Well, is he the chief of staff there? 23:38.000 --> 23:43.000 Well, well, that's good enough for me. 23:43.000 --> 23:48.000 Anything else? No, no, no. Hold everything there. 23:48.000 --> 23:55.000 Well, Mrs. Anderson, the identification of the body was checked through by telephone with State Hospital. 23:55.000 --> 24:02.000 Yeah, sure enough, the papers on him belong to an Alan Anderson who's been a fugitive from the state for the past four years. 24:02.000 --> 24:07.000 Oh, shucks, Mrs. Anderson, don't cry like that. 24:07.000 --> 24:11.000 Okay, then I gotta do it anyhow. 24:11.000 --> 24:18.000 You're under arrest, Mrs. Anderson, on suspicion of murder. 24:18.000 --> 24:22.000 Murder? No, no, don't go off again. 24:22.000 --> 24:27.000 I won't. Shucks, Mrs. Anderson, I hate to do it. 24:27.000 --> 24:30.000 While your dad and me was real close friends, he, uh... 24:30.000 --> 24:34.000 How did you know? Oh, he was just lucky. 24:34.000 --> 24:40.000 I mean, you did a real job of storytelling, Mrs. Anderson. Real fine. Never told a single lie. 24:40.000 --> 24:42.000 I, I thought... I know. 24:42.000 --> 24:50.000 You thought when we found him dead with your husband's old identification on him that your husband would be free finally and forever. 24:50.000 --> 24:54.000 Well, I wish it worked out that way, Helen, for your dad's sake. 24:54.000 --> 24:57.000 You, you know everything. Yeah. 24:57.000 --> 25:00.000 Yeah, your husband was the real Alan Anderson. 25:00.000 --> 25:03.000 Alan H. Ferhavi Anderson. 25:03.000 --> 25:08.000 Six years ago, he murdered his first wife and beat the rap on an insanity plea. 25:08.000 --> 25:17.000 When he escaped, he came to our nice little town in Pennsylvania, married our favorite and most respectable daughter after a whirlwind courtship. 25:17.000 --> 25:21.000 I guess she didn't find out much about him. 25:21.000 --> 25:25.000 I'm sorry, Mrs. Anderson, I really am. 25:25.000 --> 25:32.000 You needn't be, Lieutenant. If Harvey's going to be taken away, I don't care what happens to me. 25:32.000 --> 25:33.000 It was a good plan, though. 25:33.000 --> 25:40.000 Yes, sir, I'll have to hand it to you. You could have pleaded self-defense against an escaped lunatic. Brother Albert looked enough like your husband. 25:40.000 --> 25:47.000 You and he would identify the dead man and we'd wire the authorities out west that they could close their books on the fugitives. 25:47.000 --> 25:51.000 Uh, that was the plan, wasn't it, Mrs. Anderson? 25:51.000 --> 25:58.000 Yes, that was the plan. But, but how? How did you know? 25:58.000 --> 26:01.000 Well, I guess it was the strain. 26:01.000 --> 26:02.000 Strain? 26:02.000 --> 26:06.000 Strain on your husband. I guess it was a relapse. 26:06.000 --> 26:11.000 You see, when we picked him up on Elm Street, stock, staring, babbling, everything. 26:11.000 --> 26:12.000 Oh, no. 26:12.000 --> 26:16.000 Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Anderson. Shucks, I really am. 26:16.000 --> 26:24.000 But, but I didn't do it to avoid a scandal. I want that understood. I love him. I don't care what he is. 26:24.000 --> 26:30.000 I'm just sorry this business has made him ill again. That wasn't a part of the plan. 26:30.000 --> 26:35.000 Yeah? I guess there's always something missing in a plan for murder. 26:35.000 --> 26:41.000 I wouldn't know. You see, Lieutenant, this is my first experience of this sort of thing. 26:41.000 --> 26:48.000 Hmm. Ah. Well, Mrs. Anderson, are you ready to go? 26:48.000 --> 27:11.000 Yes, I'm quite ready. Poor Harvey. Poor, poor darling. 27:11.000 --> 27:22.000 Suspense. Presented by Roma Wines. R-O-M-A.

To bring out the fullest flavor of the red meat, I ordered Red Roma California Burgundy. 27:49.000 --> 27:54.000 Well, my friend's face lighted up at the first sip of that good Roma Burgundy. 27:54.000 --> 28:06.000 Roma Burgundy, he said, made every bite of hamburger tastier, more flavorful, and he vowed Roma Burgundy would be adding taste enjoyment to his meals from then on. 28:06.000 --> 28:13.000 Yes, Roma Burgundy adds tantalizing taste appeal to any meal. Prove it yourself. 28:13.000 --> 28:22.000 Tomorrow, serve delicious Roma Burgundy with a sizzling chop, savory piping hot spaghetti, or with whatever you're having for dinner. 28:22.000 --> 28:27.000 You'll agree that Roma wine deserves a regular place on your table. 28:27.000 --> 28:39.000 Get Roma wine tomorrow.
