Penthouse Page #2

Synopsis: Racketeer Tony Gazotti is thankful that lawyer Jackson Durant helps him beat a murder rap, but Durant just does it for the thrill of it and refuses payment. Durant's defense of mobsters causes his firm to disown him and his girlfriend Sue to leave him. But when young Tom Siddall, Sue's new boyfriend, is framed for a murder, she is the first to come asking for Durant's help. Durant uses Gazotti's information network and the help of new girlfriend Gertie Waxted to find that rival gangster Jim Crelliman is involved in the framing of Siddall. When Durant sends Gertie to Crelliman's apartment in a bid to blow open the case, she is walking on thin ice.

As?

"You use me to make you jealous."

Do not.

It's been weeks for me.

Sue...

"If I thought-"

- Do not think.

You make a grave mistake.

Throw a losing horse.

Do not be so modest.

Honey...

I've always been in love with you.

- Tom.

- Yes darling.

Do not you have a

little detail to solve?

You mean with Mimi Montagne?

This does not bother me,

but it must stop

before we get married.

There you go.

"I do not want trouble with her.

"You will not."

- Are you sure?

- I'll do.

How are you, Mr. Siddall?

Hi, Lili.

Hello dear. Now I leave.

Hello, dear.

What are you doing?

Mimi, I want to tell you.

"Lili, you're dismissed.

Yes ma'am."

What dear?

We had some good times together.

Is that?

We can not go forward.

Did something happen.

Another girl?

- No.

- You lie!

Do not be hysterical.

You tell me we're breaking

up and I have to laugh?

"It could not last."

- Because?

I've always been nice to you.

I've always been faithful.

You have been wonderful. But...

I'm going to get married.

Oh, was that it?

Who is she?

I imagine one of those snobs.

He will not like you leaving!

I will take care of you.

I'm going to make a donation.

That would be very easy.

I left everything for you.

I left one that was crazy about me.

A good catch.

- Crelliman?

- Yes, Crelliman.

A blackmailer!

But he was good to me.

I would never have done it.

You will not run away with it.

I'll tell the whole story to the press.

I'm going to show your friend.

I forbid you!

I have nothing to lose.

I'll get revenge.

Ask for money, Mimi.

So I expected that.

I'm willing to pay.

I'm going to make a donation.

You are free to accept or not.

But if you create me

problems, get ready.

Filthy snob!

Call me with Jim Crelliman.

I'm Mimi Montagne.

Hello?

I'm Mimi, Jim.

Where are you?

Running around the world.

And your boyfriend?

What?

Park Avenue.

You confuse me with

my twin sister.

Certainly!

I wondered what you were doing.

The usual.

I wanted to call him.

Thank you.

I would like to see you.

When you want.

What are you doing today?

I'll be at the club.

You will come?

I will try.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Hi, Mimi. I'm glad to see you.

Hi, Jim.

Hi. What do you drink?

- What do you drink?

- Of everything.

You know what I like.

A dry Martini.

An elegant dress.

Ah yes.

I forgot what I was wearing.

"You look beautiful tonight.

Thank you."

Have you changed your hairstyle?

Do you remember?

Fully.

And no... happy day.

You broke?

- What do you think?

- Do not know.

"Shall I publish it?"

It's useless.

It will come in a few minutes.

- Who?

- Siddall.

"Who invited you?"

- You.

- I?

- Yes, you.

To say it's over.

I understand. You predicted everything.

Should I make a scene in public?

"You can do it in private."

In private. On here?

You can go to the terrace.

I want to check that you have broken.

According.

Let's Dance.

Mr. Siddall wants to see you.

Go and let him in.

You're gentleman twice

what he believes you are.

- Mr. Siddall.

- Good to see you again.

- I came to see Mimi.

- No problem.

- I'm leaving?

- No thank you.

- Want a drink?

- No thank you.

"You could be friendlier."

Leave it, leave it.

We finished. What happened?

- I want to talk to you.

- No, not here.

Get out of here.

What a face you have to come here.

This does not bother me.

I do not send it on Mimi.

Mimi has no claim on me.

I'm not old-fashioned.

Drink, then.

What?

- You heard?

- A shot!

Yes I heard.

Mimi!

Mimi!

Jackson!

Jackson! Please call the police.

- Good morning, Layton.

- Good day sir.

Simple curiosity.

Why have I slept on this side?

For the sense of travel.

I vaguely remember being

at a party last night.

- Where was?

- Here, sir.

- Did I have a lot of fun?

- Yes sir.

Good.

He was in a good mood.

I convinced the girl

that you gave the piano,

that no transportation would

come so late to take him away.

Thank you, Layton.

I dissuaded the other girl from

driving a convertible in the rain.

Was he so drunk?

When did they leave?

When you fell dead drunk.

Have I been relieved of my

duties with the guests?

Yes. "I sent the blonde home."

They behaved very well.

There are only 6 broken

glasses, 6 cracked plates...

and five cigarette

holes in the carpet.

Give me a drink.

Will you continue to drink?

I'm going to drink to have

a hangover and vice versa.

It's a vicious circle.

Lord Durant! Lord Durant!

- Mr. Durant!

- Stop yelling!

Come back to the office.

Lord Durant! Lord Durant!

What happens?

Big problem for Mr. Siddall.

PROGRAM GIRL MURDERED

IN THE NIGHT CLUB

- Go open it.

- Yes sir.

Where's Mr. Durant?

I must see him immediately.

- Immediately!

- Yes ma'am. Right now.

Quickly.

"Jack, did you hear me?"

I just read this.

- IM crazy.

- Tell me everything.

He was arrested for murder.

Sit down.

Tell me, why did your picture

come out in the paper?

We are involved.

I understand. How quickly.

I would not have come to see him,

but I did not know what to do.

I feel responsible.

I said I would see it.

They argued, he was drunk

and I think he was angry.

It's terrible!

They all accuse him.

An ugly case.

Jack.

You're going to help me, right?

Do not abandon it.

It will seem strange, I

always say in such cases.

Jack, this is different.

It is about.

Forget your resentment

toward him.

"It's useless to do it."

- What?

I'm sorry.

I do not know what else I can do.

- I'm going to jail.

- Thank you, Jack.

Layton, call a cab.

"I'll take you home."

"I'll do it myself."

I wondered...

If you could forgive me.

What does it matter, for now,

that you do what you want?

"No, I will not forgive you."

"You seem to hate me."

Why was my love to last

longer than yours?

How can you be so cruel?

You changed.

Yes. I welcome the change.

You're not the only woman in the world.

There are many seductive women.

Sue, if only...

It's terrible, sir.

Yes. Ask Inspector Stevens

when you can see me.

Yes sir.

Do you think you are guilty?

I hope not. But I'm afraid so.

Hello? Who's calling?

No, Mr. Durant is not.

Who's calling?

Who is it?

It does not mean.

She wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Durant speaks. Who is it?

My name does not matter.

Friendly advice:

If you have good sense,

leave the Siddall affair. Understood?

Do not go into it.

If not, your remains will be scattered

throughout the city. Understood?

Who are you?

Who are you? Hello? Hello?

What happens? Who was?

They just convinced me

of Siddall's innocence.

Prevent Stevens from my visit.

- Here they are.

- Bring them.

They are not dry yet.

The terrace, the body and the girl.

- She was murdered here.

- Pretty girl.

They always kill the prettiest.

"May I accompany you?"

Go! Go! Go.

Mr. Durant visits us.

- What about?

- And you?

"Are not you going to defend him?"

Siddall is a friend.

Leave it. This is a lost case.

What do you know?

He was interrogated.

We have news. Let's go.

Did they interrogate Crelliman?
