From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. And Colleen Gray in Taxi. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. There is probably no profession in our country, more maligned at one moment and eulogize the next and the Taxi Driver.
He is sworn that by other drivers, immortalized because of his good deeds and loved by no one but his mother. And in tonight's romantic comedy, Taxi, we will show you how one disgruntled tack cab driver was humanized by the hopeless search of a trusting Irish girl for our missing husband. And as our stars of this 20th century fox green gem,
we present Dan Daley in his original role, co-starring with Colleen Gray. Now, Taxi starring Dan Daley as Eddie Nielsen and Colleen Gray as Mary. This is the story of Eddie Nielsen cab driver New York City.
And it begins early in the morning just as Eddie is about to start another day. My, it's a nice day Eddie. Just beautiful. It's a terrible day. Mom, even you by now should understand what a rainy day means in a taxi cab business.
A nice steady rain, a drips and drips and drips and drips. Never let's up. I gotta make a payment on the cab today. Ain't even a cloud. I just some shine so well this happy.
But you don't approve. Oh, Eddie, get married. That the whole trouble with you, that's why you're always such a grouse. Ah, today, ma'am, please. I'm not in the mood. Right now, it's time. A man, Gary.
Right away, I wanna go look up a trouble. A person can fall in love, can't say. Love, yeah, love. But you don't have to go to extremes and get married. Well... You think there ain't no such singer?
