Transcript

The Broadway Playhouse! And welcome to the Broadway Playhouse! Tonight starring Anne Blythe, Robert Cummings, and William Bendix in I'll Be Yours. And now here is our producer, Mr. William Kealey. If songs and romance and comedy are welcome in your home tonight, our play is made to water for your enjoyment.

There isn't a social problem, a murder, or a psychiatrist in it anywhere. Just plain entertainment. The play is Universal International Studios' delightful film, I'll Be Yours. And there's a three-star cast, Anne Blithe, Robert Cummings, and William Bendix.

All of them talented players who rank high on your list of favorites. Our stars are on stage and the curtain rises on the first act of I'll Be Yours, starring Robert Cummings as George and Bligh as Louise and William Bendix as Joe.

New York City just off Times Square, there's a small, somewhat shabby restaurant, presided over by a sober, unsmiling waiter named Joe Wernarski. Well young lady, what did it make?

Goulash, it goes like hotcakes. Oh, well, I'll have the hotcakes then. That goes even faster than the Hungarian Goulash. How about a nice turkey sandwich with Russian dressing? But the turkey sandwich is 55 cents.

Yeah. You know what it costs to raise a turkey today? No, but I have- Take it from me, it costs a lot of money. First day after you get the turkey, you got to feed him.

What do you feed him? Well, I don't know. Food your freedom. And after you feed the turkey, he's got to be shipped. That means all kinds of real, real chucks. Yes, I know, but I'm not- And after he's shipped, he's got to be knocked off.
