1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:25,000 Suspense! 2 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:32,000 Tonight, a banner presentation of Emeline Williams' classic, Night Must Fall, directed by Anton M. Leder and produced by Robert Montgomery. 3 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:40,000 Our stars, Mr. Montgomery and Dame Mae Whitty, with Heather Angel, Richard Ney and Matthew Bolton, in Night Must Fall. 4 00:00:40,000 --> 00:01:03,000 This is Robert Montgomery. I cannot introduce Night Must Fall. I have no words in prologue, so surely do I feel that the play is the thing. 5 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:17,000 But I can introduce, with great anticipation and pride, the performance of Dame Mae Whitty as Mrs. Bramson, Heather Angel as Olivia Grain, Richard Ney as Hubert Lowry, and Matthew Bolton as Inspector Belsize. 6 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:29,000 It is our particular pride that both Dame Mae Whitty and Matthew Bolton are playing the roles they created in the original stage play in London. And I, I will play Danny. 7 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000 With these performances, and with Night Must Fall, we again hope to keep you in... 8 00:01:35,000 --> 00:02:01,000 Suspense! 9 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:13,000 It is a smallish place. A typical English country cottage, rambling and comfortable, with roses climbing upon the walls and the fences. 10 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Surrounding it on every side stands the dark bulk of the forest, the massive trees, close packed, their interlacing canopies shadowing the undergrowth below. 11 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:37,000 It is an out of the way place, far from the nearest village, a mile or more from the nearest neighbor. A proper place for a murder, you might say. 12 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:52,000 Usually the forest quiet is undisturbed, but today one might hear a few scattered shouts, see strange men in uncomfortable city clothes poking about through the brush, searching. 13 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:58,000 And in the Bramson cottage, Dora the maid is receiving a visitor in the kitchen. 14 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:07,000 Oh Danny, I'm so glad you've come. I've been half off Meraka, what with that old witch in there, saying all those terrible things about you and me. 15 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,000 The police turning the place upside down and asking all kinds of questions. Oh Danny! 16 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Here, here, here, steady now. What's all the rattle? What police? 17 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:30,000 You mean you haven't heard? That Mrs. Chalfont, the woman from the tall balls, has disappeared. Nobody knows what's become of her. 18 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000 All that? 19 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,000 And there's even a man from Scotland Yard. 20 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Scotland Yard? That is gratifying. 21 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Gratifying? 22 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Well I mean there being Johnny on the spot like that, shows we're getting our tax money's worth. Now, what's the matter with the old girl? 23 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:54,000 Oh Danny, she knows about us. And she says if you don't marry me, she'll give me the sack. 24 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Oh Danny, you will. You will, won't you? If you don't... 25 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000 No, I've heard about it. Always had the very same thing in mind myself. 26 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000 Oh Danny. 27 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 I expect she wants to talk to me. Where is it? Through there? 28 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000 Oh, you can't go in now. She's got people with her. The Scotland Yard man. 29 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000 Well I can look, can't I? 30 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Danny, be careful. If she hears you... 31 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Cat can look at a king, you know. So that's Mrs. Bramson there. They say she don't have half a bit tucked away. 32 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Oh, she's rich and all, but try to get hold of her. 33 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 Who's the girl with the spectacles? 34 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Oh, that's her niece, Miss Grine. Miss Olivia Grine. Poor thing. 35 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000 And the chap with her, I suppose? 36 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000 Mr. Lorry. He wants to marry her, but... 37 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000 I don't think she wants to, not really. 38 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Well now, if you see anything unusual or anybody strange wandering in the woods, our men are stationed nearby and they'll just let them know. 39 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Good morning, Mrs. Bramson. 40 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Who's that? Just left. 41 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 The detective. Scotland Yard. 42 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Wish I had a better look at him. Never seen anyone from Scotland Yard before. 43 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Dora? Is that your young man, I guess, talking about out there? 44 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000 No, Mum. That is... Yes, Mum. 45 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Well, send him in here. Instantly. 46 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Yes, Mum.

somebody there, behind the curtains. 731 00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,760 We'll see. 732 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:35,480 We'll see. 733 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:43,080 Ah, it's you. 734 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,440 I've never seen a dead body before. 735 00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:50,800 I climbed through the window, nearly fell over it. 736 00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:57,240 Like a sack of potatoes or something, I thought it was at first. 737 00:48:57,240 --> 00:48:58,240 That's murder. 738 00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:01,360 But it's so ordinary. 739 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,200 I came back expecting... 740 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,880 I don't know. 741 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,120 And here I find you smoking a cigarette. 742 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,760 You might have been tidying up the room for the night. 743 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:13,760 It's so ordinary. 744 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,920 Why don't you say something? 745 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:21,200 I thought you were going to spend the night in town. 746 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,760 I was. 747 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,600 Why did you come back? 748 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,880 To find you out. 749 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,840 You've kept me guessing for a fortnight, guessing hard. 750 00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,640 I very nearly knew all the time, but not quite. 751 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,640 And now I do know. 752 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:36,960 Why are you so keen on finding me out? 753 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:41,480 In the same way any sane, decent-minded human being would want... 754 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,160 would want to have you arrested for the monster that you are. 755 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,840 Why did you come back? 756 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:47,840 I... 757 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:48,840 I told you. 758 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:49,840 Ha! 759 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,760 She didn't keep any money anywhere else, did she? 760 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,680 I've read a lot about evil. 761 00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:57,800 I never expected to come across it in real life. 762 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,720 You shouldn't read so much. 763 00:49:59,720 --> 00:50:02,080 I never got through a book yet. 764 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,080 But I'll read you all right. 765 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,680 You haven't had a drop to drink, and yet you feel as if you had. 766 00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,120 You never knew there was such a secret part inside of you. 767 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:12,120 I hate you. 768 00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:13,120 I hate you. 769 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,640 You feel as light as air, same as I feel sometimes. 770 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,920 Why, this is my big chance. 771 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,000 You're the one I can tell about myself. 772 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,440 I'm sick of hearing how clever everybody else is. 773 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:26,760 I want to tell them how clever I am for a change. 774 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,800 Money I've got to have, and people doing what they're told, 775 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:29,800 and me telling them what to do it. 776 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,040 There was a woman at the tall boys, wasn't there? 777 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:33,600 She wouldn't be told, would she? 778 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,280 She never knew it was me she was dealing with. 779 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:37,280 Me? 780 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:41,040 Because I made her think she was a chronically invalid, 781 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,380 this old girl who's been treating me like a son. 782 00:50:43,380 --> 00:50:46,120 She's been more used to me tonight than she's been to any other buddy 783 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,600 in her whole life. 784 00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:48,600 Stupid. 785 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,080 That's what people are. 786 00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,080 Stupid. 787 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,400 You said just now, murder's ordinary. 788 00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,640 Well, it isn't ordinary at all, see? 789 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,760 And I'm not an ordinary chap. 790 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,680 There's one big difference between me and the other fellows 791 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,040 that tried this game. 792 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:07,240 I'll never be found out, because I don't care that. 793 00:51:07,240 --> 00:51:09,800 The world's got to be fair from me. 794 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:10,800 That's me. 795 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:11,800 You wait. 796 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,800 But you can't wait, can you? 797 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,680 What do you mean? 798 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,160 Well, when I say I'll never be found out, what I mean is, 799 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:28,080 no living soul will ever be able to tell any other living soul about me. 800 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,920 Can you think of anybody who can go tomorrow and tell the police 801 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:35,120 the fire at Forrest Corner wasn't an accident at all? 802 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:36,120 I can. 803 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:37,120 No, you can't. 804 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:38,120 Why can't I? 805 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,480 Well, I'm not against a very serious problem, I am. 806 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,680 But the answer to it is simple as pie to a fellow like me. 807 00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,000 And as pie, she isn't going to be the only one found tomorrow 808 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,480 in the fire at Forrest Corner. 809 00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,520 Aren't you frightened? 810 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,800 You ought to be. 811 00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:56,800 Don't you think I'll do it? 812 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:57,800 I know you will. 813 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,200 I just can't realise it. 814 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:02,280 You know, when I told you all about myself just now, 815 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:04,800 I made up my mind then about you. 816 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:05,800 That's what I am, see. 817 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,240 I make up my mind to do a thing, and I do it. 818 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:10,240 I... 819 00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:12,640 What's that light in there? 820 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:13,640 What light? 821 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,640 There's somebody in this room holding a flashlight. 822 00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,480 It can't be in this room. 823 00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:17,480 It must be a light in the wood. 824 00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:18,480 Well, it can't be. 825 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,480 Look, there, the window. 826 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:20,480 Somebody's watching the bungalow. 827 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:21,480 Nobody's watching. 828 00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:22,480 I'm the one that watches. 829 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:23,480 They've got no call to watch me. 830 00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:24,480 I'll go out and tell them that and all. 831 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:25,480 I'm the one who watches. 832 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:26,480 Look, behind them trees, hundreds of eyes back of each tree, 833 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:27,480 thousands of eyes, the whole world's on the track. 834 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,480 What's that? 835 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:29,480 What's that noise? 836 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:30,480 Like a big wall falling over into the sea. 837 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:31,480 I don't know. 838 00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,480 I don't
