Young Man With A Horn

en
00:01:21 My name is Willie Willoughby,
00:01:25 I play piano in a run-of-the-mill
00:01:28 Kind of monotonous.
00:01:30 But there were times when I got my kicks.
00:01:35 Like when I palled around with Rick Martin,
00:01:41 What a guy.
00:01:43 We were in the thankless business
00:01:46 ...and phrases of music together
00:01:49 ...that somehow turned out to be jazz.
00:01:52 Strictly off-the-cuff, but a lot of fun.
00:01:56 Of course, Rick is practically
00:02:00 People ask me about him
00:02:04 Ordinarily, I don't talk much about it.
00:02:08 But I think a lot about it.
00:02:11 He had a lot of friends.
00:02:15 He was a lonely kind of guy.
00:02:17 Always, I guess from the time
00:02:19 He never knew his father.
00:02:21 And his mother died
00:02:26 So he went to live with his sister.
00:02:32 He did a lot of traveling
00:02:36 From Missouri...
00:02:38 ... on through Texas...
00:02:40 ... Oklahoma...
00:02:42 ... and finally, California.
00:02:46 He never did get much out of school, and
00:02:59 Why don't you go play
00:03:01 Hanging around the house day after day.
00:03:05 - You hungry?
00:03:07 After you eat, don't forget to put
00:03:11 Yes.
00:03:13 - What's wrong with you?
00:03:15 I haven't got time.
00:03:18 But I'll tell you one thing, either you gotta
00:03:22 You just can't do nothing.
00:03:25 Hey, Marge, that man's here.
00:03:29 - I told you I'd be ready, didn't I?
00:03:34 Don't forget, the bread in the box.
00:03:37 So long. There's a little Chinese place
00:03:41 ...I was thinking of tonight.
00:05:35 And now, my friends...
00:05:37 ...the good Lord has provided.
00:05:39 And there'll be a hot meal served
00:06:30 The story goes that by the time it got dark,
00:06:33 He could play the whole song.
00:06:35 After that, he had a place to go to
00:06:40 And for a while, he wasn't
00:06:51 Hey, you've been banging
00:06:54 Now, get out of here.
00:06:55 Excuse me.
00:07:26 Hello, sir. Which one's the cheapest?
00:07:30 - You mean, the instruments?
00:07:32 Well, let me see. I think the trumpet.
00:07:36 I can let you have this one for about $9.
00:07:39 - You play a trumpet?
00:07:43 I started to learn piano.
00:07:45 Well, the piano's a little different.
00:07:47 So you're a musician, eh?
00:07:49 If I had one, I could carry it with me
00:07:53 - You got the money?
00:07:58 Well, now. I think maybe
00:08:02 Yes, sir.
00:10:06 And that kid out there...
00:10:08 ... he had a perfect ear for it.
00:10:11 He could hear it, and he could feel it.
00:10:14 It hit that boy right where he lived.
00:10:39 Well, look at this.
00:10:42 - How about that.
00:10:44 Let's take a breather for a few.
00:10:47 - What do you want?
00:10:49 I was just listening to the music.
00:10:51 - Well, do you like the way we play?
00:10:58 - Kind of late for you to be out, isn't it?
00:11:04 Well, you'd better come on in
00:11:08 - Thanks.
00:11:12 - A ham sandwich, perhaps, Mr...
00:11:16 Oh, but you gotta.
00:11:18 You can't listen to music
00:11:22 Thanks.
00:11:25 You sure your folks won't care?
00:11:27 I don't have any real folks.
00:11:30 My sister wouldn't know
00:11:33 Oh, I see.
00:11:37 Gentlemen, this is Mr. Martin.
00:11:40 - Pleased to meet you.
00:11:42 - Mr. Martin, what would you like to hear?
00:11:45 I don't know what you'd call it,
00:11:51 You know, where you start off, and then
00:11:56 - But you finish alone.
00:11:58 But how do you know
00:12:01 I can hardly remember myself most times.
00:12:05 You a musician, Mr. Martin?
00:12:06 Oh, I kind of play the piano a little.
00:12:10 Piano player, huh?
00:12:11 Yes, but what I really wanna learn
00:12:15 You hear that? Mr. Martin knows talent
00:12:19 What are we waiting for?
00:12:22 Have a chair, Mr. Martin. Sit down.
00:12:24 Thank you, Mr. Hazzard.
00:13:16 - Good luck, maestro.
00:13:23 Have a cigar, Mr. Hazzard.
00:13:26 - It's a two-bit one.
00:13:30 Thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:13:43 If he had to be a trumpet player,
00:13:46 ... because he couldn't have bought
00:13:57 That's the way it started. There was no way
00:14:01 He couldn't see anything but notes and
00:14:05 He was cut out to be a jazzman the way
00:14:09 You're playing sharp on the high notes.
00:14:12 You're getting a roll.
00:14:14 What do I do wrong?
00:14:16 You're dropping your mouthpiece
00:14:19 Once you get that roll, it closes your lips,
00:14:23 And you get tired after a half-hour
00:15:05 And it was about then that
00:15:09 One way for money,
00:15:12 ... and one way for himself.
00:15:14 That was his way of talking.
00:15:35 Well, hello, Mr. Hazzard.
00:15:37 - How am I doing?
00:15:41 You don't sound as if you mean it.
00:15:44 Nothing.
00:15:46 What's the matter, pops?
00:15:49 - Did you know we're going on the road?
00:15:52 How long will you be gone?
00:15:54 Booker's got a good deal for us
00:15:56 We've been figuring on staying there,
00:15:59 - Hey, swell. I'll go with you.
00:16:04 - Even if you could, you shouldn't.
00:16:06 You've got to think about
00:16:09 - What you're going to be.
00:16:12 I'm gonna be a trumpet man like you,
00:16:15 You think that's all there is to it?
00:16:18 Well, you... You taught me to play
00:16:22 You play a fine trumpet.
00:16:24 - Well, then...
00:16:26 Look at me.
00:16:28 What have I got after 20 years of it?
00:16:32 A wife, kids, money in the bank?
00:16:36 - No.
00:16:41 I guess I'm playing with a heavy mute.
00:16:45 Look, boy.
00:16:47 You've got music in you.
00:16:49 You've got it here.
00:16:51 And you've got it here.
00:16:54 But the way things are, very few people
00:16:58 - Or what you're trying to do.
00:17:02 I play for myself.
00:17:04 Look, boy.
00:17:07 A man's got a lot of living to do
00:17:10 But you, you're kind of locked up
00:17:15 You're like a... Like a bird trying to fly
00:17:20 You'll stay up for a while.
00:17:24 Then you're going to fall.
00:17:28 Have a drink of milk.
00:17:34 I'm gonna miss you, pops.
00:17:38 Oh, I almost forgot.
00:17:47 Thank you, Mr. Martin.
00:17:55 - Take care of yourself.
00:18:20 Finally, he got his first good job.
00:18:49 And that was when I met him.
00:18:53 ... searching expression on anybody else.
00:18:56 Even then, he looked like a guy
00:19:02 Hello.
00:19:09 - Better get your skates sharpened.
00:19:14 - Here, let me help you with that thing.
00:19:20 Thanks a lot.
00:19:21 - What kind of hotel towels you got in here?
00:19:26 Mostly Art Hazzard.
00:19:28 I got just about every one
00:19:30 - Really?
00:19:34 - Taught me how to play.
00:19:37 Yeah.
00:19:38 Oh, my name's Martin. Rick Martin.
00:19:41 I'm Willie Willoughby.
00:19:43 They call me Smoke.
00:19:45 Never could figure out why.
00:19:47 Me neither.
00:19:53 You know Art Hazzard?
00:19:56 Boy, he's the greatest trumpet player
00:20:30 Glad to know you.
00:20:41 - Hi.
00:20:42 - Hi, Smoke.
00:20:44 Honey, will you hand out
00:20:46 - How are you, Mr. Chandler?
00:20:49 Oh, you're over there. All right,
00:20:55 Kenny, hand those out, please.
00:20:59 - Graham.
00:21:01 - Jack Flanagan. This is Tommy.
00:21:06 - Tommy.
00:21:07 Hello, my name's Jo Jordan.
00:21:10 How do you do?
00:21:13 All right, boys, let's get with it.
00:21:15 As you know,
00:21:17 First, I want you to remember...
00:21:19 ...we're a dance orchestra. Our job
00:21:23 No blues and no low-down jive.
00:21:27 And that's what we're gonna give them.
00:21:31 Number three in the new books,
00:21:34 We'll take yours first, Josie,
00:21:38 One, two...
00:22:05 Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
00:22:07 Hold it. Hold it.
00:22:12 What's the matter, Martin,
00:22:14 - Sure.
00:22:17 You want every number played
00:22:20 Exactly. What do you think
00:22:23 I don't know.
00:22:26 I mean, do we have to play every
00:22:29 That's right. This is no jam session,
00:22:33 - I was just asking.
00:22:38 All right, let's take it again
00:22:41 One, two...
00:25:24 That was very good.
00:25:27 Thanks.
00:25:29 You must like it here to stay so late.
00:25:31 It's a good place to play.
00:25:35 Nobody in the next room
00:25:37 Oh, I'm sorry about the mix-up
00:25:40 If I hadn't stopped singing, maybe Jack
00:25:44 It was your number. I didn't have
00:25:49 It seemed kind of right.
00:25:53 Incidentally, you're about the best
00:25:56 Well, thanks. You know something?
00:25:59 There's a guy on records who has a style
00:26:04 - Art Hazzard.
00:26:07 Since I was a kid.
00:26:09 He taught me to play.
00:26:13 He had a lot of trouble with me once.
00:26:16 A what?
00:26:18 When you drop your mouthpiece
00:26:20 Keep playing that way, you get
00:26:24 Worst thing can happen to a trumpet man.
00:26:27 It gets you tired awful easy.
00:26:29 But he straightened me out. He gave me
00:26:37 Boy, it did the trick.
00:26:39 Yeah, he knows. He really knows.
00:26:42 I guess it's his fault I switched to a
00:26:47 ...but the trumpet...
00:26:49 I don't know.
00:26:51 Maybe because it's so close to you, huh?
00:26:54 It's like it's a part of you.
00:27:01 How about it? This is a dance hall,
00:27:04 - I gotta lock up.
00:27:08 I was wrong.
00:27:10 There's always somebody in the next room
00:27:15 Well, good night.
00:27:42 Oh, Rick.
00:27:44 - Aren't you going to the party?
00:27:47 Well, Jack's buying drinks for all the boys.
00:27:49 No, thanks, I'm not much for parties.
00:27:55 Oh, sorry.
00:27:57 Thanks.
00:28:02 You know, it's lucky you switched
00:28:06 The way you baby that thing,
00:28:09 Well, it's awful good company.
00:28:11 Whatever you tell it to do, it does.
00:28:15 Never lets you down.
00:28:17 You're kind of sold on it, aren't you?
00:28:20 You gotta be sold, or you got no business
00:28:25 You gotta love it.
00:28:26 Can't just like it and understand it the way
00:28:31 You can't write it down and keep it.
00:28:34 You can only hear it right while
00:28:37 ...and you feel it.
00:28:40 Someday, when I'm really good...
00:28:42 ...I wanna do things with this trumpet
00:28:46 I'm gonna hit a note
00:28:51 You've got to have some other interest,
00:28:56 You need a hobby, like collecting stamps,
00:29:02 How about a girl?
00:29:03 Don't pick on me, Rick.
00:29:06 Married?
00:29:08 You're married to that trumpet.
00:29:10 I certainly wouldn't wanna
00:29:13 Sorry.
00:29:16 Well, I guess you wanna get
00:29:22 I think I'd rather breathe some fresh air.
00:29:33 Chandler wouldn't like this, would he?
00:29:36 No. I guess he wouldn't.
00:29:53 - Hey, Smoke, take over the rest of the set.
00:29:57 What do you say we grab a quick drink?
00:29:59 - No, thanks.
00:30:01 - No.
00:30:04 - It's just that I've been busy lately.
00:30:08 Why do you have to say things like that?
00:30:10 Hey, Smoke.
00:30:13 - You're kidding.
00:30:15 Let's have a little change of pace.
00:30:20 - Well, I've been fired before.
00:30:23 Everybody take five, except Frank,
00:30:27 - What's up?
00:30:29 - Play a little jazz?
00:30:31 - Chandler won't like this.
00:30:35 - What will we play?
00:30:37 - Okay, but I ain't.
00:30:40 Well, your answer won't be far off.
00:31:43 Here comes your answer.
00:31:46 I'm used to it. Well...
00:31:48 ...it's been nice, fellas.
00:31:52 Thanks very much. See you around, Smoke.
00:31:56 - You're through, Martin.
00:31:59 You better watch your second trumpet.
00:32:08 If the rest of you wanna keep your jobs,
00:32:19 Door's open.
00:32:21 Hi, Rick. I just talked with Chandler,
00:32:25 I know he'll take you back,
00:32:28 - Lf I'm a good boy, you mean?
00:32:32 All right, he doesn't like you.
00:32:34 But he knows you're the best lead
00:32:36 Not in this band. I just couldn't take it.
00:32:40 What made you do it, Rick?
00:32:41 I had to.
00:32:43 Was it that much fun?
00:32:45 - Guess so.
00:32:48 - Why do you live in left field all the time?
00:32:51 If you keep on, you're gonna work
00:32:55 Look, Jo, l...
00:32:57 You like what you're doing. You got a good
00:33:01 I don't know where I'm going. Well,
00:33:05 All right, Rick, you've made your point.
00:33:08 - Thanks a lot anyway.
00:33:13 All the baggage you really need
00:33:16 - Your trumpet.
00:33:20 Can I lend you some money?
00:33:22 Wouldn't know what to do with it.
00:33:24 - You're probably broke.
00:33:29 Young man with a horn.
00:33:31 Crazy young man with a horn.
00:33:36 I'm sorry, Jo, I...
00:33:39 It's all right.
00:33:41 We'll keep in touch, huh?
00:33:43 Sure.
00:33:46 So long, Jo.
00:33:48 So long, Rick.
00:34:17 You know, that piano of mine's been out
00:34:21 How much can an artist take?
00:34:23 Smoke, you'll never amount to anything.
00:34:30 You coming?
00:35:27 Boy.
00:36:08 Maxie.
00:36:10 - Tell them to play something with pep.
00:36:18 Hey, professor, how about
00:36:22 Mike wants something with more pep.
00:36:25 We're all through for the night.
00:36:28 - Hey, you hard of hearing or something?
00:36:41 Maxie!
00:36:46 Max.
00:36:49 Hey, you. Trumpet player. Come here.
00:36:56 You're a handy guy.
00:36:59 Handy with the trumpet
00:37:01 He didn't have to do that.
00:37:03 Sit down.
00:37:09 Play me something snappy.
00:37:12 - You know "Ain't She Sweet"?
00:37:14 Well, play it.
00:37:20 Don't stop. Keep playing.
00:37:31 What? Don't you like my beer?
00:37:33 No.
00:37:35 Try some more, you might
00:37:38 Mike!
00:37:49 - Come on, let's have a drink.
00:37:53 - Deal me in, I feel lucky tonight.
00:38:03 Maybe I'm getting too old
00:38:06 It's not much fun anymore, and you
00:38:11 Sure you won't come with me?
00:38:14 - Indiana's awful nice this time of year.
00:38:18 Oh, stop kidding. You'd like my folks.
00:38:22 No, thanks, I'd only be in the way.
00:38:25 I ought to go see my own folks.
00:38:27 I think I will, honest.
00:38:29 Where do they live?
00:38:31 Texas.
00:38:32 Thought you said you were
00:38:36 I haven't any folks.
00:38:39 You just got one love,
00:38:42 How you fixed for dough?
00:38:44 Oh, loaded. Oh, this is it.
00:38:58 Here.
00:39:00 - Oh, no, Smoke, l...
00:39:03 Well, remember, it's only a loan.
00:39:07 - Will you write?
00:39:10 - So long, kid.
00:39:14 Board!
00:39:16 See you soon, Smoke.
00:42:09 - Thanks for waiting.
00:42:11 I'm impressed. You're better than I thought,
00:42:16 - Say, you look fine.
00:42:18 - Oh, sure.
00:42:21 I'd like to, but I'm anxious to find
00:42:25 Yeah.
00:42:27 He's at a place called Galba's
00:42:30 You haven't heard from him
00:42:33 Why?
00:42:34 Well, he doesn't play the way he
00:42:38 Oh, but he's better now.
00:42:41 - It'll just take me a minute to change.
00:42:58 Hello. I'd like you to meet my friend
00:43:02 - Trumpet player?
00:43:04 I hear lots of trumpets.
00:43:06 - Glad to see you anyway.
00:43:08 Eddie, table for Miss Jordan.
00:43:15 - Hello, Jo.
00:43:17 - Hello, Jo.
00:43:39 I see what you mean.
00:43:43 He was the greatest.
00:43:54 Hi, pops.
00:43:56 - Is this really you?
00:44:00 Well, here.
00:44:01 Don't smoke it all at once.
00:44:03 Brought it all the way from Wheeling,
00:44:08 Shut me up if it isn't.
00:44:10 - Hello, Art.
00:44:13 I've been hearing some things
00:44:16 - I hear you're pretty good now.
00:44:22 - I'd like to hear you.
00:44:26 - Come on.
00:44:27 - Now is as good a time as any.
00:44:30 Back this gentleman up,
00:44:32 - Why, sure.
00:44:33 - It's all yours.
00:44:36 I'll think of something,
00:44:39 - Oh, go right ahead.
00:46:14 - What do you think?
00:46:16 - Rick Martin.
00:46:18 He just came in from Chicago.
00:46:20 He's told me about offers. I don't
00:46:23 Boy's good. I could use him.
00:46:26 - I'll bring him over later to meet you.
00:46:29 Ladies and gentleman, this is Rick Martin.
00:46:33 I've known him from the time
00:46:38 I...
00:46:40 I taught him how to hold that
00:46:45 But I didn't teach him how to play it.
00:46:48 Not the way he does.
00:46:51 That's something that you can't learn.
00:46:55 You've got to have it.
00:48:20 Oh, Rick. I just wanted to tell you
00:48:24 Oh, thanks. Thanks a lot.
00:48:25 How you live is your business, but I've been
00:48:30 - No. What's the matter, Mr. Morrison?
00:48:34 Don't you get enough trumpet playing here?
00:48:36 Well, not my kind of playing.
00:48:38 I pay you good money.
00:48:41 You're a big draw there,
00:48:44 - That may be nice...
00:48:47 Okay, okay. It's just that you're
00:48:51 - Staying up all night.
00:48:54 I am, I am. I'm just telling you
00:48:57 Why bother with a bunch of...?
00:48:59 Wait a minute. Where are you going?
00:49:01 Galba's.
00:49:10 Violets, mister?
00:49:26 - Good evening.
00:49:28 There's no need to
00:49:30 It's packed like this every night.
00:49:34 - Good.
00:49:40 This is that crazy musician
00:49:44 Come on, let's sit down.
00:50:18 - Hi, Jo.
00:50:19 - Great.
00:50:21 I want you to meet Amy North.
00:50:24 - Hello.
00:50:27 - Well, what?
00:50:29 Your whole mood.
00:50:30 When you were playing that trumpet,
00:50:35 You've undergone a startling
00:50:38 I'd rather call you Richard.
00:50:41 People try to find security
00:50:44 You've solved your problems. At least
00:50:48 I don't understand a word,
00:50:51 - It's got a rough spot in it.
00:50:54 She talks like a medical book
00:50:58 She's studying to be a psychiatrist.
00:51:00 Oh, well, how do I stack up?
00:51:03 My interest isn't purely professional.
00:51:05 When I meet a great talent,
00:51:08 You don't mind, do you?
00:51:10 Not at all. Go on.
00:51:13 Tell me about jazz.
00:51:16 I don't do much thinking
00:51:19 - Lf you listen to it...
00:51:23 I came to study the people, watch
00:51:27 Something about jazz releases inhibitions.
00:51:30 It's a sort of cheap,
00:51:33 I gather you don't like jazz.
00:51:35 Not particularly.
00:51:37 I know it's supposed to
00:51:39 Cotton fields, the levees,
00:51:43 Excuse me, please.
00:51:46 - I don't like to ask, but...
00:51:49 If you're a singer,
00:51:51 Sure, knock them dead.
00:51:56 - Can I buy you a drink?
00:51:59 You don't like me, do you?
00:52:01 I think you're very charming, Miss North.
00:52:03 You can call me Amy.
00:52:07 I bet I could.
00:52:09 Only if I wanted you to, Mr. Martin.
00:52:13 I know what you're really thinking,
00:52:28 Jo's interesting, isn't she?
00:52:30 So simple and uncomplicated.
00:52:32 Must be wonderful to wake up and know
00:52:37 She's so terribly normal.
00:52:41 She's a good singer too.
00:53:44 Don't get out.
00:53:46 Jo, you're breaking up the party.
00:53:48 You go through with this mad plan,
00:53:52 I've got an early show tomorrow.
00:53:54 Come on, Jo, you can sleep till noon.
00:53:56 I will anyway.
00:54:05 I love your car.
00:54:07 Oh, it's not mine. I just rent it.
00:54:09 Wouldn't it be simpler to buy one?
00:54:13 I don't wanna own a car or anything else.
00:54:18 We should get along beautifully.
00:54:21 I envy you, Richard, but I
00:54:24 As far as you're concerned, doc,
00:54:41 Come in.
00:54:47 Say, it's quite a deal you have here.
00:54:52 Hey, who's this?
00:54:54 Her name's Louise.
00:54:57 You ought to teach her to
00:55:00 Kind of takes you by surprise.
00:55:02 That's why I love her.
00:55:19 We'll put your alter ego away.
00:55:21 - My what?
00:55:23 A dead language that ideally suits me.
00:55:27 It simply means "your other self."
00:55:37 Scotch or bourbon?
00:55:39 Oh, anything.
00:56:08 - This is strong enough, I hope.
00:56:17 Do you play?
00:56:18 That's a silly question, I guess.
00:56:20 No, I play, but the piano doesn't like me.
00:56:25 It stiffens up every time I come near it.
00:56:29 I know how to play one piece.
00:56:34 I used to love it, so I hired a piano
00:56:39 I paid her double rates and kept her
00:56:46 How long have you been playing
00:56:48 Since I was a kid.
00:56:50 - Ever want to do anything else?
00:56:52 - Even when you were a kid?
00:56:55 Because even then you knew you'd play
00:57:00 Me, I've been an intellectual mountain goat,
00:57:06 You don't know how lucky you are.
00:57:10 First, I wanted to be a writer.
00:57:14 Then I took a course in interior decorating.
00:57:17 Then I had an idea I'd fly a plane.
00:57:20 I even tried singing in one
00:57:23 I was bad in all of them.
00:57:25 Now you're gonna get into people's heads
00:57:29 Yes.
00:57:31 Please don't be angry, but it's late,
00:57:36 Oh, sure. I'm sorry.
00:57:39 Don't run away. Finish your drink.
00:57:41 Stay as long as you like. Only, please don't
00:57:49 You do forgive me, don't you?
00:57:51 And you'll call me?
00:57:53 Sure.
00:58:27 What are you looking at?
00:59:01 Hey. Smoke.
00:59:03 Jo.
00:59:07 - Oh, it's so good to see you.
00:59:10 Oh, he couldn't come. He's sorry,
00:59:13 It's wonderful seeing you.
00:59:17 - I'm real proud of you.
00:59:19 - Rick has done all right too.
00:59:22 It's gonna be like old times.
00:59:25 Let's go to Galba's.
00:59:27 - Good. Can we get a drink?
00:59:33 You know what?
00:59:37 Oh, come on, Jo. Stop worrying.
00:59:39 Rick's a grown boy. If he gets lost,
00:59:44 That mother instinct comes out
00:59:48 You know, I think we've been stood up.
00:59:50 He hasn't changed a bit.
00:59:55 I'm glad about your new job.
00:59:57 Goes to show you, if you work hard
01:00:01 Yes, it was swell of Rick to get
01:00:05 We'd better get home before they
01:00:11 It's no use kidding ourselves,
01:00:13 He hasn't been here in a long time.
01:00:16 You see, Smoke, he has changed.
01:00:19 Who is she?
01:00:22 A friend of mine.
01:00:24 And I introduced them.
01:00:31 Boy, this is the closest I've
01:00:34 Is that why you insisted
01:00:37 Maybe. Maybe it's
01:00:39 ...where you spend your time
01:00:44 Hey, it's pretty impressive.
01:00:47 Maybe I could smuggle you
01:00:49 I bet they'd toss a mug like
01:00:54 There's certainly plenty of them.
01:00:56 I think we'd better rest up
01:01:00 Mustn't keep you out too late. You've
01:01:06 Please don't call me "doctor" anymore.
01:01:13 Well, I won't, then, but...
01:01:16 Well, psychiatrists
01:01:19 Why do you want to be one?
01:01:22 Maybe because my father's a doctor.
01:01:24 That makes sense, I guess.
01:01:26 No, it doesn't.
01:01:28 You see, I have no use for my father.
01:01:31 He's very well thought of in the profession,
01:01:35 My mother was something else again.
01:01:38 Something pretty wonderful.
01:01:39 I used to go to pieces when she told
01:01:44 I thought so highly of that lady.
01:01:46 I can hardly remember my mother.
01:01:49 She died when I was a kid.
01:01:51 Yes, but you see, you've got
01:01:55 My mother, when I was 12, started having
01:02:00 My father, who was a doctor,
01:02:04 When it was too late, he stumbled on
01:02:07 But he never did anything about it.
01:02:10 One night, that lovely lady
01:02:14 She fell out of a window.
01:02:16 Only four stories, but it did the trick.
01:02:20 Gee, I'm... I'm sorry.
01:02:23 Thanks. You're very kind.
01:02:26 Anyway, I've been in one school
01:02:29 ...memorizing all the wrong answers.
01:02:32 He pays the bills, but I don't see
01:02:36 He's married again.
01:02:41 I don't know how you feel,
01:02:48 Okay.
01:02:54 Good idea, putting a tip on a cigarette.
01:02:56 Tells you where you are.
01:03:00 I was starting to wonder.
01:03:02 Nonsense. You'll always
01:03:09 So steady.
01:03:11 You and that trumpet of yours,
01:03:15 Gives you faith in yourself.
01:03:17 Yes, you know where you are.
01:03:22 Do I?
01:03:24 Where do you live?
01:03:26 Oh, at some high-class creep joint.
01:03:31 I'd like to see it.
01:03:34 Look, Amy, I think I'm in love with you.
01:03:38 Finish your drink.
01:03:53 I told you you wouldn't like it.
01:03:56 I think it's lovely.
01:03:58 It doesn't pretend to be
01:04:02 You mean it's crummy.
01:04:05 Knowing you, I'd say these
01:04:09 Oh, the records.
01:04:12 I've had them a long time.
01:04:15 They've been shipped across
01:04:21 I thought you didn't want
01:04:24 Sure, but that's music.
01:04:26 That's different.
01:04:28 I suppose it is.
01:04:31 How about a drink?
01:04:49 No.
01:04:53 What is it? Have l...?
01:04:55 It's not you.
01:04:57 Are you talking in riddles again, Amy?
01:05:00 I didn't expect you to.
01:05:02 Is this that stuff you learn at school?
01:05:06 - You ought to be grateful.
01:05:09 You caught me off-guard
01:05:11 - I may never be as honest again.
01:05:15 You keep away, Richard.
01:05:16 You and your fine frenzy.
01:05:18 This is my first and last warning.
01:05:21 You think you're falling
01:05:23 Well, don't.
01:05:26 Only people who respect themselves
01:05:30 I don't happen to respect myself.
01:05:32 You sound like something out of a book.
01:05:35 I only know what I feel.
01:05:37 You're lucky. I feel half a dozen things
01:05:43 Will you take me home?
01:05:45 What's the matter?
01:05:48 Please don't make me
01:05:51 I wouldn't try to make you do anything.
01:05:53 - Then take me home.
01:05:56 People either like you or they don't.
01:05:58 They don't act one way and
01:06:01 - They're rather dull, aren't they?
01:06:06 You know, I thought you were something
01:06:11 - Well, you're acting like a cheap...
01:06:14 You're just beginning to be interesting.
01:06:18 You'd better go home, Amy.
01:06:22 Aren't you taking me?
01:06:24 Well, you like riding in cars so much,
01:06:28 Thanks.
01:06:36 Call me sometime.
01:06:39 Call you what?
01:07:52 Come in.
01:07:54 Just about finished.
01:08:00 I hope you don't mind my barging in
01:08:03 - Hi, Jo.
01:08:05 Yeah.
01:08:07 I can't say that I blame you,
01:08:10 I thought you were married to this place.
01:08:13 - Sit down, won't you?
01:08:19 - It's been a long time, hasn't it?
01:08:23 - I went out of town for a couple of days.
01:08:26 They've been worried about you
01:08:29 Gee, maybe I can get there tonight.
01:08:33 - Oh, cigarette?
01:08:36 - I've been meaning...
01:08:39 ...but you've been seeing a lot of Amy,
01:08:42 I guess so. You see, Jo, l...
01:08:44 If I can make you believe I'm not here
01:08:48 - Don't say that...
01:08:51 I know her better than you do.
01:08:52 She's a strange girl, and you've never
01:08:56 I can understand all that.
01:08:58 But inside, way inside,
01:09:01 She's wrong for you, Rick.
01:09:06 Precisely what I told him myself.
01:09:09 But he wouldn't take no for an answer.
01:09:11 Jo, you didn't give me a chance to tell you,
01:09:17 Thanks for your good wishes.
01:09:19 I don't suppose you'll ever forget
01:10:00 Amy stopped going to her classes
01:10:03 ... and they played all night
01:10:06 But they never really
01:10:09 Maybe they were afraid of that.
01:10:12 I don't know.
01:10:46 Oh, here's one that Art cut
01:10:49 Did I have trouble finding it.
01:10:52 I hit Seattle once. There was
01:10:55 Not only had this one, but two more.
01:10:59 Wait till you hear what Art does.
01:11:03 You never heard such playing.
01:11:14 Oh, get a...
01:11:26 Amy.
01:11:29 - What's the idea of walking out on me?
01:11:32 - Not for you.
01:11:36 Hand me my robe, will you, Richard?
01:11:43 Have I done anything to upset you?
01:11:46 Whenever I make a decision you can't
01:11:50 This has nothing to do with you. It's me.
01:11:53 I was off the track for a while.
01:11:56 Hey, I don't get it.
01:11:58 I'm going back to school,
01:12:01 I wanna finish something I started
01:12:04 So from now on, it's going to be
01:12:08 - Hey, aren't you happy?
01:12:11 The world, as it's presently constituted,
01:12:14 Who cares? If you go to school all day, and I
01:12:20 - It'll only be for a few months.
01:12:24 What do you wanna be a doctor for?
01:12:28 I want exactly what you want.
01:12:32 You're not being at all understanding
01:12:35 Not even friendly.
01:12:37 Maybe it's because I'm not your friend.
01:12:42 So you are.
01:12:43 I guess that does rather complicate it.
01:12:47 Rick, don't you see?
01:12:50 I've simply got to amount to something.
01:12:55 I guess you do.
01:13:02 You better take that record off, Richard.
01:14:18 Amy.
01:14:41 Going somewhere?
01:14:44 I wanted to talk to you
01:14:47 It's been a long time.
01:14:49 Can't, Richard, I'm 12 minutes late now.
01:14:52 Besides, talk is vastly overrated.
01:14:55 - It's action that counts.
01:14:57 And don't think I haven't wanted
01:15:01 I don't know why I haven't done it.
01:15:04 - Probably because I'm still in love with you.
01:15:10 But that sort of conflict can lead
01:15:13 My prescription for you
01:15:17 - I am late.
01:15:19 - We've gotta get things straight.
01:15:23 I can't stand it any longer, Amy.
01:15:26 All right, look...
01:15:28 ...l'll come home tonight as soon as I can.
01:15:31 Let's have supper together, talk this
01:15:36 Very well, Richard.
01:15:48 - You got changed pretty quick.
01:15:51 A bunch of the guys are going
01:15:54 - Not tonight.
01:15:57 - I know, but...
01:16:01 - How is he?
01:16:03 He's liable to lose the spot.
01:16:05 Well, I can't make it tonight, Smoke.
01:17:14 Good morning, Mr. Martin.
01:17:45 Hi there, Mr. Martin.
01:17:47 Kind of early, even for you, ain't it?
01:17:49 - Who asked you?
01:17:52 - The usual?
01:18:20 Hello, Rick.
01:18:23 Hi.
01:18:24 - What will it be, Mac?
01:18:29 It's been a long time.
01:18:31 Yeah.
01:18:33 - I've been busy.
01:18:36 Listen, I didn't sign a contract
01:18:38 Of course not.
01:18:40 A man's gotta live his own life.
01:18:43 You gotta take the breaks
01:18:46 That's right.
01:18:48 Yeah. I know what you think.
01:18:53 You did a lot for me.
01:18:56 If you're through, you're through. I can't
01:19:02 I know.
01:19:04 A trumpet man, he plays
01:19:08 ...then he's done.
01:19:10 I didn't come here to ask for anything.
01:19:13 But people talk.
01:19:15 I heard you had the misery.
01:19:18 And I thought maybe I could help you.
01:19:20 I don't need any help.
01:19:24 Everybody has to stick
01:19:27 Telling me what to do, how to do it
01:19:33 You're right.
01:19:35 People get old, they see things
01:19:39 A man's got to live his own life...
01:19:42 ...just like you said.
01:19:45 I'd have felt the same way about it
01:19:52 Everything's gonna turn out all right.
01:19:55 Don't let anybody worry you.
01:19:59 Just...
01:20:02 ...take care of yourself.
01:21:02 What do you know,
01:21:06 Somebody got hit.
01:21:09 Let's have some service.
01:21:21 - Tough about Art Hazzard, huh?
01:21:25 Think he's got much of a chance?
01:21:28 - What are you talking about?
01:21:31 He got hit by a car. He's in Bellevue
01:21:47 - Yes?
01:21:51 - Where is he?
01:21:54 Hazzard.
01:21:57 I'm sorry, no visitors.
01:21:58 - I've gotta see him. Just for a minute.
01:22:03 - I wanna see him. Where is he?
01:22:07 But you can't go up there.
01:22:08 Don't you understand?
01:22:31 - How is he?
01:22:34 I know it's against the rules,
01:22:37 I gotta tell him something. It's important
01:22:41 It's too late. I'm sorry.
01:24:13 Sorry about our date.
01:24:17 It's all right.
01:24:21 How's school?
01:24:23 Fine.
01:24:26 To tell the truth, I don't know.
01:24:30 I had a hunch you hadn't.
01:24:33 Didn't I tell you?
01:24:36 I flunked my finals.
01:24:39 No, you didn't tell me.
01:24:41 - But I'm sorry.
01:24:44 Maybe I'll try again.
01:24:46 Maybe I won't.
01:24:49 Or maybe I'll go to Europe
01:24:53 I met a girl the other day, an artist.
01:24:55 Maybe we'll go to Paris together.
01:24:59 I used to paint when I was a child.
01:25:04 I can do a lot of things very well
01:25:07 Nothing that really matters.
01:25:09 You're tired, Amy.
01:25:11 Why don't you go to bed.
01:25:15 I think I will.
01:25:20 I almost forgot.
01:25:22 I'm having some people over
01:25:25 Have to celebrate my glorious defeat.
01:25:27 You'll be here, won't you?
01:25:29 I want to show off
01:25:32 Your husband.
01:25:35 That's a laugh.
01:25:38 Amy, why did you ever marry me?
01:25:42 It was wonderful experience
01:25:45 Besides...
01:25:46 ...how do you know about anything
01:25:54 I don't mean to hurt you, Richard. It's...
01:25:57 It's only that I'm jealous of you.
01:26:00 Jealous?
01:26:03 I'd give anything to have
01:26:05 ...to be able to do one thing well
01:26:09 It's the only real security in the world.
01:26:13 Maybe that's really why I married you.
01:26:18 But it hasn't.
01:26:24 Amy. I'm sorry, Amy.
01:26:26 Don't you dare pity me!
01:27:08 We are gathered here not only
01:27:13 ...but to remind ourselves of the goodness
01:27:18 ...Art Hazzard...
01:27:20 ...and to meditate upon
01:27:26 ...which was his.
01:27:28 For he was truly a man's friend.
01:27:33 And now a hymn will be given
01:29:01 I've never seen so many characters.
01:29:04 Amy collects characters like
01:29:07 What happened to that
01:29:09 Why, you're Amy's husband, aren't you?
01:29:13 - You certainly are.
01:29:17 Yes, it is.
01:29:20 I'm dying to see the rest
01:29:22 We'll have dinner out
01:29:28 How nice of you to come
01:29:30 This is my husband. Miss Carson.
01:29:34 The girl who paints so well.
01:29:37 - How do you do?
01:29:41 - See you at 9, then, Amy.
01:29:44 It's been a wonderful party.
01:29:59 You certainly made a fool of me.
01:30:02 - Didn't you get my note?
01:30:05 Well, I'm sorry.
01:30:08 I told everyone you were going to be here.
01:30:12 You know why I couldn't.
01:30:14 What could you do for him?
01:30:17 So there's one less trumpet player.
01:30:19 Look, you're drunk, Amy.
01:30:23 Maybe a trumpet player isn't much to be...
01:30:25 ...but it's what Art Hazzard was,
01:30:28 - You and your alter ego, that cheap brass.
01:30:33 ...so you don't do any of them.
01:30:36 That trumpet's part of me.
01:30:39 You almost made me forget that.
01:30:41 You're so confused yourself,
01:30:46 I'm not confused any longer.
01:30:49 I'm sick of you trying to touch me.
01:30:52 I never want to hear a trumpet again.
01:30:55 Get these records out of here.
01:31:07 You dirty...
01:31:11 What a dope I was.
01:31:13 I thought you were class, like a real
01:31:17 I couldn't understand
01:31:20 Well, you're like those carnival joints.
01:31:23 Big flash on the outside,
01:31:27 - I hate you.
01:31:31 What a swell combination we were.
01:31:33 You said you wanted experiences, Amy.
01:31:35 Well, here's one for you:
01:31:37 - I'm leaving you.
01:31:41 You almost did.
01:31:44 You're a sick girl, Amy.
01:31:47 You'd better see a doctor.
01:32:39 Wrap it up, boys.
01:32:59 That was a fine exhibition
01:33:03 What you do on your own is your business,
01:33:07 - I can't sit sober listening to your music.
01:33:12 Whoever heard of you
01:33:14 - Lay off me tonight, please, Mr. Morrison.
01:33:18 What do you think this is,
01:33:23 Why, you stupid...
01:33:26 If your tin ear could really hear the music
01:33:31 - Watch it, Rick.
01:33:33 You're looking for a new trumpet man.
01:33:36 You sure are.
01:33:41 Little off beat, aren't you?
01:33:44 I don't think he wants
01:33:47 But I do. I don't wanna work with anybody.
01:33:51 From now on, I'm playing it my way.
01:33:53 - You want company?
01:33:56 I don't care if I never get
01:33:59 Music's not a business to me.
01:34:02 Hey, Smoke, how about getting
01:34:05 - Go over to one of the Jersey joints?
01:34:09 You get the car,
01:35:15 - What time is it anyway?
01:35:19 Hey!
01:35:20 What's everybody quitting for?
01:35:22 Oh, come on, Johnny.
01:35:26 But I got a recording date at 10:00,
01:35:29 I'm so tired I can't hold on to my horn.
01:35:32 I got just the other trouble.
01:35:36 I can't shake it off.
01:35:37 - Let's cut out. I'm beat.
01:35:40 - Yeah.
01:35:43 Hey, just once more, fellas,
01:35:46 Don't you ever sleep?
01:35:48 Hey, Smoke, you stick by me, huh?
01:35:52 Just a few more licks.
01:35:54 Just a few...
01:36:01 Hey, Rick, what's the matter?
01:36:03 Hey, what's the matter?
01:36:05 - Are you all right? Well, get up.
01:36:09 - Where's my...?
01:36:13 And don't do that again.
01:36:16 It felt like I fell a long, long way.
01:36:21 - Here.
01:36:30 Hey, Smoke.
01:36:32 Hey, you know what we ought to do?
01:36:33 We ought to make our own records.
01:36:37 Boy, we could make records
01:36:41 Make them sit up.
01:36:43 Do some of the old ones Art
01:36:46 ..."Dinah" and "Twelfth Street Rag"
01:36:50 They won't buy them.
01:36:53 - Who won't?
01:36:55 You know who buys records?
01:36:58 You know why?
01:37:00 To learn the words. They only buy
01:37:03 I never thought of it that way.
01:37:05 Nobody knows what we're doing
01:37:09 They don't hear us.
01:37:12 We could drop dead tomorrow,
01:37:17 Are you really okay?
01:37:19 - Sure.
01:37:21 You're gonna stay okay.
01:37:23 You come along with me.
01:37:26 - I'm all right.
01:37:29 After this, you better get some sleep.
01:37:32 We got a recording session, remember?
01:37:35 Down again.
01:37:43 Hey. Like giving a dog a bath,
01:37:47 Only you could've told me
01:37:51 You're my pal, Smoke.
01:37:53 You're the only guy left
01:40:15 Rick!
01:40:35 That's all, boys.
01:40:40 Man, he's really washed-up.
01:40:53 All you need is some sleep.
01:40:56 Get out of here, won't you?
01:40:58 Leave me alone.
01:40:59 All right, Rick.
01:41:08 Rick, it was wonderful up to the finish.
01:41:11 We'll get it right.
01:41:12 Come on, we'll try it again.
01:41:14 We'll work till we get it. Here.
01:41:18 I don't want it.
01:41:21 I don't want to ever see it again.
01:41:25 Give it away.
01:41:28 Give it to some kid who wants
01:41:32 Only tell him not to fall in love with it.
01:41:35 That's what you told me once, wasn't it?
01:41:38 But the record's fine, Rick.
01:41:41 They only buy records to learn the words.
01:41:45 Nobody cares about the music.
01:41:48 - All we have to do is cut off the last part.
01:41:53 - I won't let you do this to...
01:41:56 What are you trying to do, Rick?
01:41:59 Because you tried for something
01:42:02 That's what you've done all your life.
01:42:07 That note you were going for.
01:42:11 There is no such thing, Rick.
01:42:14 Not on the trumpet.
01:43:00 He dropped out of sight after that,
01:43:06 The truth is, the only thing in the world
01:43:10 And when that let him down too,
01:43:14 He went to pieces,
01:44:46 Habit is a remarkable thing.
01:44:48 It escapes no one.
01:44:50 Not even Rick, as sick as he was.
01:44:53 Because, at this point,
01:45:00 I'd like to see a trumpet
01:45:04 No, not that one.
01:45:06 That one. On the end there, see?
01:45:09 Oh, on the end.
01:45:12 - This one?
01:45:14 But it's no good, the valves are busted.
01:45:18 - That's the one I want.
01:45:20 It's junk. I've been meaning
01:45:23 - You don't want this one, mister.
01:45:27 Seventy-five cents. It hasn't got a case.
01:45:30 - That's all right.
01:45:44 Remember, I told you it was no good.
01:45:49 Thank you.
01:46:46 Hey. You're drunk.
01:47:13 Hello?
01:47:15 Yeah.
01:47:21 I'll be right down.
01:47:36 A taxi driver brought him in.
01:47:40 It's no fault of ours, obviously.
01:47:42 This is an alcoholic cure. We're not
01:47:57 It's pneumonia.
01:48:00 - Why didn't you send him to one?
01:48:04 You've got it now.
01:48:07 Get an ambulance.
01:48:10 Call these numbers.
01:48:13 - Mrs. Martin, is that his wife?
01:48:16 - And the other one?
01:48:31 - Hi, Smoke.
01:48:36 I don't feel so good.
01:48:41 A funny thing happened to me yesterday.
01:48:45 I got lost.
01:48:46 I'm getting you out of here, kid.
01:48:48 It's gonna be all right too.
01:49:14 He's fine. He's doing fine.
01:49:20 Jo's here.
01:49:23 It's Jo.
01:49:27 Used to work for him.
01:49:29 We couldn't get along.
01:49:32 Never could get along with a band.
01:49:36 You're gonna be all right, Rick.
01:49:40 We have a lot of dates to play.
01:49:44 Sure, we... We can play some
01:49:46 The good ones we used to play.
01:49:50 You and Smoke and me and Art.
01:49:55 Hey, where is it?
01:49:59 We can play for ourselves.
01:50:02 We got no words. We...
01:50:04 We can't say what we mean, we...
01:50:08 ...just gotta feel it.
01:50:18 Hear it?
01:50:20 Jo, hear it?
01:50:23 You said I tried for something
01:50:26 There's no such note.
01:50:29 Hear that note, Jo?
01:50:32 It's clean and sweet.
01:50:36 Gee, that's a good note.
01:50:40 You see, Rick was a pretty hard guy
01:50:43 And for a long time,
01:50:46 But the desire to live is a great teacher,
01:50:51 He learned you can't say everything
01:50:55 A man doesn't destroy himself...
01:50:56 ...just because he can't hit
01:51:00 Maybe that's why Rick went on
01:51:06 ...and an artist second.
01:51:08 And what an artist.
