Stop pushing
Please calm down.
In November 1924,
during weekend cruise parties towards San Diego,
a mysterious death occurred in the Hollywood community.
However, there is no coverage in the press, no police action,
and from 14 passengers on board,
only one has ever been questioned by the authorities.
There is little evidence now, or is there at that time,
to support any version from that weekend
History has been written in whispers.
This is the whisper most often told.
Cruise ships, you know,
belongs to William Randolph Hearst.
Only in a place like this do reporters and signatures
doesn't mind at all _ making fun of mourners at funerals.
Welcome to Hollywood,
a land off the coast from planet earth
After we all leave,
the man in the box will disappear.
Only the ash is left.
After all, this is fire It can hurt you, not ash.
You are listening to KFI.
And looking forward to our weekend music marathon,
with our own KFI studio orchestra.
I'm afraid this city is weird but interesting,
but I can't leave it
You see, I'm never sure if I visit a zoo,
or if I am one of the animals in the cage.
Don't you dare I won't be seen coming early.
Yes ma'am.
I want to avoid the solution to this puzzle
but the guy in the box forces us to deal with it
We were all there that weekend.
Stop!
I'm not there.
A boy's birthday early.
He must be worried.
God, this thing must be 200 feet.
- 220. - He has it?
And the ocean sits in and the sky above.
What are you doing ?!
The old boy is supposed to give you the ship as a birthday present, Tom.
We can sell it and get it studio out of hock.
Don't be melodramatic, George, nobody's in hock.
We are not far away. I don't know about this new strategy.
This is like I said, people's tastes have changed.
They want to read more modern stories. Contemporary, mature.
Like the type you read in Hearst magazine.
Will it be like this? to San Diego and back?
In addition, he has a lot of other assets offered Yes, cash.
I still don't think it's the right time. Too clear.
Calm down, George. Nothing will be clear.
Business. Business.
Yes, take the bag.
Kono, starving man
eat wooden boards from the log hut.
- is that funny - No, Mr. Chaplin. Not funny.
Don't hold back. Tell what you really think.
Huh? Hmm?
Don't tell me Elinor Glyn has arrived on time
God, maybe even earlier?
Oh... well then.
Hello, you little bastard
"Little" I object to.
I see your young flame burning not with you
Lita? He is not here? I seem to have forgotten it.
Let's stay like that, right?
God!
They spend a lot of money.
Mr. Chaplin, this is an honor,
and I mean true honor to meet you, sir.
Louella Parsons.
I am writing for Mr. American Hearst New York.
I've been there all year.
Louella Parsons from the East, met Elinor Glyn from the West.
Elinor is the best and most mischievous writer in the world Oh, you don't need to tell me.
I hope to be introduced as "West".
Whatever makes you happy, baby
Well, I will leave you two alone.
I have something else to watch.
Mr. Chaplin, have you ever happened? to pay attention to rave review
I gave your last photo, "Paris woman"?
Yes I did. Thank you, that's the best.
So it's appropriate, so it's appropriate.
It only smells that no one has seen.
At least you won't lose your shirt in the next picture too
I hear that at least you have makes sense to be this one.
"Gold Rush." I hear it's just a clue how much this image is at your expense.
Oh, there is a birthday boy!
- Marion, my darling - Happy birthday.
Thank you. Not until tomorrow but I always like it
When a beautiful girl kisses me.
- Wow, look at you - thank you
We must try to find a picture of the sea for you,
so we can see this film.
- What do you think, George? - Of course
- Drinks? - A natural comic too.
- thank you - So, where is our captain?
He'll be down soon.
If I really will make a difference,
is a daily column with my name above,
marks the place where the two people
in the audience and on the screen
can unite to read the truth,
It's not just gossip and satire gossip.
Take care after the old WR, I'm sure he's coming around
I plan to, believe me.
For example, take you. I want you to know that I, for one,
apologize for your difficulties with your co-small star,
this little girl, Lita...
Oh! Here.
- Allow me. - Yes, this... moves.
Oh! So, Mr. Chaplin,
If you need sympathy People who can be told, I'm all ears.
After all, you need someone on your side when a surprising truth arises.
Thank you very much, Ms. Parsons.
- Lolly. - Hmm?
Lolly. All my close friends call me Lolly - Lolly. - Um-hmm
So, Mr. Chaplin...
Damn damn it!
If you children will excuse me again for a few seconds.
- Charlie, how are you? - Safe, for now.
You know George Thomas, my business partner
- George. - Charlie.
This is Miss Margaret Livingston, George guest and pleasant actress.
- Charmed, I'm sure - Me too.
- And Mrs. Ince? - You can't,
one of our boys isn't feeling well.
- Mourn. - yes...
Say, "Paris woman" is a great picture.
The risk is big enough that you take by not being inside it You are a risk taker, Charlie, just like me.
Just when you make everyone laugh on your Little Tramp character,
You make a terrible melodrama without him.
You cannot blame the person for gambling.
After all, failure is character builder Right, Charlie?
I don't know, Tom, you tell me.
Thank you very much. You introduced me and then you hugged him yourself.
Small prick
Very? I hear he has which is quite large
The perpetrator runs the studio.
It's like fucking serfs running the palace.
He lost his clothes in the last photo.
He spent so much on "The Gold Rush,"
the colleague is not even returns the call
And his 16-year-old wife collapsed in a set... pregnant.
- Not kidding? - Uh huh.
They learn about birds and bees Much younger these days.
The buzz is that Chaplin polled Oh yeah?
Oh, Zoe. Can you get me some more? Thank you.
Did you hear the lecture?
Hack? The man was built three film studios alone.
Just because he built a paint shop didn't make him become Van Gogh.
Why not...
Come here.
Why don't you return it? from my phone call, are you a little nonsense?
Because I hate telephones.
Maybe I called to tell you to stay away this weekend
That will pretty much ensure that I turned out, right?
Willie heard about us.
He even has a private detective.
He only invited you so he could see us.
Nothing can happen this weekend.
What are you doing next weekend?
Jesus, Charlie! You didn't catch me to bed and you won't leave.
- Who said? You or Captain Willie? - Says me.
I have to go help Miss Lolly little...
I really mean it!
You started something, I will throw you and your smile is excessive.
Marion!
Are you sure I will stay far away?
No.
But you have to really believe what I want.
I will not walk on this ship
without being introduced to everyone.
Lolly, this is everybody. Everyone, this is Lolly.
- Hi. - Louella Parsons
This is one of Willie 's visionary film reviewers.
Especially because of its beauty The things he wrote about me.
And...
I wrote it before I knew You are Mr. Hearst's...
You know, before you and boss... I know that...
Uhm...
Gosh, this is big, isn't it?
Yes, honey, but does he know how to use it?
Well, that's all.
I'll call the captain so we can let him go.
Did you hear it, Pops? I will come.
Very convincing.
- Oh, is anyone here? - Everyone is here and you know that
Will you go down from Mount Olympus or what?
No need for sarcasm, Marion.
You are here Central radio spies on everyone
- Those who don't need to be afraid... - Save Bible quotes.
- Not from the Bible. - anyone then
All right, move on and continue spying
Because nothing can be seen.
There are whispers.
Stop listening to whispers and listen to me
Nothing happened between me and Charlie
OK?
I bought you something... in New York.
- Willie...
But you already gave me a butterfly brooch.
You don't have one of them.
You try to get it what they don't get themselves
I love you so much.
Never stop
And I will always be here,
do you not know that
Exactly.
Ah, Dr. Goodman.
- How are you doing today? - A little tense, Dan.
- Marion? - What now?
No, I mean, how is Marion?
Oh. Ordinary.
- Spunky. - Uh huh.
Permission to come to the ship!
We start.
- Frank, how are you? - Joseph!
- Not late, right? - Absolutely not at all.
- Who is he? - Boring Frank Barham,
pills from the publishing world of Hearst.
They were invited to remind WR for all of us
- There are two of them. - What is the wife called?
Who knows?
Oh my word! What a big ship!
Correction, who cares?
Marion! Marion, baby
Do you believe Tom Ince?
Do you believe it?
Well, he doesn't drink during the day.
- Can't believe it - Hmm? Oh...
And I better not catch you two businesses talk
- or what? - Or you will get yours All...
Well, here it is.
Finally.
WELCOME!
Like extraordinary words from words
for those in control print more than Jesus Christ.
Take it back, or I will have it to defame you
I hope someone does it. I feel rather agile.
Lolly, Madam Glyn wants to say a word.
Bastard!
Mrs. Glyn, I've read everything from you beautiful,
good book
How beautiful for you, baby,
but forgive me, I have to go write another one.
Chief, almost noon. We must try to stay on schedule.
Stop!
Raise the ship's ladder!
- No! - Oh, my God!
- wait! - Stop!
Oh, thank God.
He always does this to us! Any time!
I sweat like a pig.
How will I land anyone? with sweat dripping into my nose?
Don't be bitched, Didi, I'm not in the mood.
Hi! Hello!
I think this will happen the most enjoyable boat ride
Yes... the cat is meow.
That's all of it! To the sea!
Wow.
Jesus Christ, Tom!
- Do you want everyone to hear you? - Yes!
- Be reasonable, please - God!
You said this time will be different,
that I will go George's arm and your arm
You will. We must be bitter.
We must find the right moment.
No one cares if having an affair.
Look at Hearst and Marion, for God's sake!
Mrs. Hearst knows about Marion.
He disapproves of the divorce, But he agreed to the arrangement.
He wants to stay a very rich woman
with the last name Hearst. Who can blame him?
Now you are innocent, A vulnerable wife is the reason.
I tried to make a deal with that person.
So don't get on the moral side that is inappropriate...
The whole life of that man is morally inappropriate!
You start loud
Sorry. You just... sometimes makes me crazy
No, you are right. Forgive me. This is my fault.
I didn't give you a chance to support your things - I don't want to support my item... - Look, that's it...
- You sell yourself short. - I just want to rely on you.
You are a great actress and you must be given the opportunity to shine.
We can't force everything I say.
Let me work some of me magic on parents...
and we will make you pay attention.
As an actress or on your arm?
The woman puts a high order, but maybe we can do both.
- huh? - Hmm...
Good.
"Flames of Youth"?
To God!
WR,
You're early for dinner I always like to go out just before sunset
The best time to watch seagulls.
What? Oh, yes. A beautiful creature.
You know, Tom, I like movies.
I always think of the press is the strongest thing for communicators
- But that's not true lately. - You are absolutely right.
Words aren't always well intertwined on seven continents But through extraordinary, moving images that are amazing...
Now, this is universal language, and morality and politics...
and other bad things I can insert someone's head.
You bastard!
Your day is numbered, you little bastard!
You have to keep your gun low or they see it.
Yeah, yeah... I see.
- Can I be honest with you, WR? - You can be anyone you like, Tom.
I think your eyes for films are right on target
- you did - But you have to face the facts.
There are some things that you cannot control.
- What is it like? - Your whole kingdom,
Your family, based on the east coast.
- The film is in California. - I realized that
You must also be aware of the film manufacturer can't send orders via telephone and they can't have real men
Representing them when a real decision...
You are almost unforgivable.
Fuck!
There's a lot of money in the film, WR.
Yes, me!
I have produced millions of this business and...
We both know that quality of your image
You have never made a penny...
Okay, let's just say I believe your honest observation,
do you imply that Thomas H. Ince can make a difference?
I do not imply, I stated.
I'm talking about private watching cosmopolitan images
- Marion's career in particular. - How is it personal?
Good...
consultation with you where the script and the director are right for him.
- Ensure production... - What's in it for you?
Stories in Cosmopolitan and other magazines, as starters.
Hmm...
Not that I doubt you background of his business, Tom.
On the contrary... that's where it is Lately, in the background.
You have to admit, you didn't have your strength five years ago
That might be true of both of us, WR.
But I think we both have different strengths to help other people's weaknesses.
There are no violations, Tom...
But if I'm in trouble I don't need a disabled person to help me.
Ha! Gotcha!
Look at him falling.
Spit.
That's what tried to go before Stupid bird
Oh, doctor. There is something I want to ask you
Every time I eat grapes I experience extreme palpitations.
I won't worry about it.
My heart is beating fast and then I come out with a rash.
Everything is fine, Chief?
Everything is fine.
I can't believe he still just let's drink one.
Well, Didi, it's illegal.
Yes, but not for us. You have yours
I save it later when will I really need it
"I don't need a disabled person." Did he really say that to you?
A great way to treat honored guests, huh?
If I have the same average streak, I will throw that throw
Marion and Chaplin are having right on his face.
- Marion and Chaplin? - See them holding hands on the deck.
Notice they are the only ones we are still waiting for
I advise you to save it for yourself.
- I know, I'm a good person. - I need my companion, if you don't mind.
I hope you're not waiting for me to eat your appetizers Because you have already decided to bless us with your presence,
Maybe you will have courtesy to tell us where to sit.
If Willie does it, He will talk business overnight.
So you, Birthday Boy, will sit at the end of the table.
And Willie, why not? Charlie sits next to you
- To make you laugh all night? - Or is that the opposite?
Now, Charlie, hold your tongue.
And your seat
You have mine, WR.
I have done it to many people, but never did it to me.
How does it feel?
Refreshing
That's hysterical, Mr. Hearst.
Good band, huh?
Especially saxophone players, eh?
Yes, isn't he... ooh, you caught me
So, Big Joe, what's in you? Have you arrived since I saw you last?
I saw you in "Lady of the Harem."
Ohh, you really are, huh?
And what is your mother's opinion about that?
Well, Mama is sitting on my lap.
You are a dirty and dirty child I have to forget if I become you.
Sorry?
Married and married concubines Don't mix, Margaret.
Oh, this is pretty good. I have to use it in a novel.
- do you have a pen - yes.
Marion, not even a little a little business talk?
What's the matter, Tom?
I tried to negotiate an agreement with WR,
and you have to tell me the secret. How can you pass it?
- Do you want to know my secret? - Uh huh.
I don't need to do anything bad.
I don't follow you People have funny ideas about me and Willie.
- All gold diggers. - No, no, no! I don't mean...
Actually, Willie did a search.
He used to buy two chairs every night when I was in Follies.
One for him and one for his hat.
I never asked him to put me in the picture
It takes more to get it to stop putting me in the photos.
That's my secret, Tom. With Willie, I don't need to dig.
So, is your husband Mr Mr Barham?
- Yes, of course. - Hello dear.
- Who is that? - That's Mr. Barham.
Oh, I think maybe your lover is on board Very bad.
- And, don't be simple. - Oh no.
Mr. Hearst is fully responsible for cosmopolitan images Everyone knows you are one of the top executives.
I am actually a doctor by trading.
- Oh, are you a doctor? - Semi-retirement.
Oh good. Very...
Medication.
Maybe I should ask you a question. What do you think, Charlie,
about Marion's picture, how do we handle him?
I don't think you've recognized that he's a great comedy.
I mean, his eyes, his smile, laughter. He is fun.
Comedy... I don't want people to laugh at Marion
Well, he doesn't need there is another more conservative period drama.
Excuse me, but Marion includes in serious and important images,
Certainly not running around in loose comedy pants.
No offense, Charlie.
Excuse me, you didn't do it what's right for Marion No offense, WR.
I want to make toast.
Usually Willie's job, but as you know,
A few weeks ago, we were friends, we have to choose the president again.
So I think I can do it whatever I am very good.
This is for our children's birthday.
Tom not only found pictures of the cowboy,
But he helped build this city.
He knows how to run a studio that can be made - 10 films at a time. - And take credit for all of them!
Oh, Willie!
- for Tom! - for Tom!
Thank you.
That's very sweet.
Mr. Hearst, I just want to say,
It's nice to be here.
The more I see beautiful California people
the more I am reminded the need for columnists...
You know, Lolly, the first rule lives in California
never mix business with pleasure.
Now, what are you saying?
Oh, uh...
I'm just saying that...
beautiful to see all these amazing people
assembled in one place.
You see, Charlie? That's why I hired him.
Even with a gun on his head he still gave me without warm welcome conditions.
As long as nobody pulls the trigger...
What are you laughing there?
That's the funniest thing ever!
That's all about... There is a gun in my head and someone pulled the trigger!
Weapons and triggers, such violence!
Everything matches Madame Elinor's California Curse Curse of California What is it?
It's not a bad thing. Not now.
Yes, Elinor, educates our visitors.
The curse of California attacks you like a disease
Once you set foot in Hollywood, be careful.
Oh, me, me.
You see, this place has arrived,
this place we call home,
Not a place at all, but a living thing.
A living thing ?!
More precisely, evil witch.
As in the old story.
- And you all live on it? - Like fleas in the dog's stomach.
Exactly.
But it's not like a helpless dog, This magician is able to drive away
true personality from those who are enchanted,
forces them to resist their will to carry out their orders,
to forget their homeland,
the purpose of their trip,
and any principle they have held dear
Don't forget the symptoms, that's my favorite part
The curse controls you if you experience the following:
You see yourself as the most important person in any room;
You receive money as the strongest power in nature;
and finally, your morality disappears...
without a trace.
Alhamdulillah, all of us have been infected, eh, WR?
Umm... yes.
Thank God for that.
Charleston, everyone!
Come on, Pops, come on Show how it's done!
You bet!
What did you see?
Oh, I'm tired. Let's sit down.
Sit down? I want to pound my feet so hard Satan will complain.
Come on, Jay, take us to the moon!
They just shot all this a few days ago.
I've never seen it before.
Shh!
This is amazing...
There! Do you see the throne?
The throne dates from the 16th century.
That's King Lewis II. I brought it from Hungary.
dear, you are amazing Just beautiful Get in there - Ow!
Wow, Marion, look at you!
Yes, but the movie is definitely going in the trash house
Okay, Willie is at the helm for two hours so who is the first?
- Me! - Hands off, you little bum!
Marion, you always have the best moonshine.
That's because every hour, bottles come from many admirers.
Now, this one must have sex appeal. Who gave it to you?
Who do you think?
Hmm, I see...
Now, this is mine now.
Ahoy there
Tom, how are you
Fill in
That is a banquet.
Wait till tomorrow. Marion prepared a birthday party.
- Marion is a special woman. - Yep, he is
This is very difficult for someone to love in our business There are so many men who prey on beauty.
And not sincere, but in a cruel way, only for conquest.
Take characters like Chaplin for example.
He is really famous.
I'm sure you've heard of Lita, the main actress.
Mm-hmm.
Apparently she is pregnant with her child...
he's only 16 for Christ sakes!
That's why I saved my Nell away from show people.
Women aren't as strong as us. They are easily fooled,
Their hearts are easily damaged.
Yes, yes, this is a concern.
Definitely, especially...
remember the amount of time you are forced to spend 3,000 miles apart.
This might be something else I can help you
- What do you mean? - OK
if we want to join the interests of our movement,
along with all other benefits,
I can watch for you.
Hmm...
What makes you think of him? need to be monitored?
- Well, he must have been... - What are four people?
Not all of them. Join us. You say, Tom?
We can talk later.
- like a charming cabin! - Good night all.
What a good man.
Yes. Very good.
- This is me with a surprise! - Charlie!
- Let's see what you get, Celia. - This is drugs, Didi.
Have you had that whole car going up?
If I've told you in the car boxes will be empty now.
Is it really what they say? about a Jazz man and his instrument?
- Every word, sister - Oh!
You're with me Come on.
Hey!
You are not going to be a flat tire about our play time, is not it?
You do what you like, Marion, dear.
Do not expect me to join you the childish nonsense like that.
Frank, I admire your marriage.
So simple... clean.
- Thank you, WR. - There is nothing complicated.
I honestly feel unattractive compared to...
the colorful lifestyle of your other guests.
God knows what they are all until this hour.
Frank, I won't hear talk like that.
Code of decency is something to be respected.
We should not feel ashamed for not being as a liberal-minded person like the others.
Dear, please
Disrespectful, but you know what one of the actresses
- Tell me at dinner? - What?
He has the courage to ask whether Frank is my lover!
- No! - Yes!
What did you say to him ?!
I said, "Mr. Barham is my husband, dear, we are not lovers."
- You set it straight - Mind things like that!
Among the best I've ever tasted, Celia.
absolute best
- Who is this? - This is me.
If you say, "This is Tom Ince
to see Ms. Margaret Livingston alone in her cabin
on Saturday night," You will get a big surprise.
This is uh...
Tom Ince meets Miss Margaret Livingston
alone in his cabin on Saturday night.
I think it's the best I'll get out of you He said it was sausage!
Alright, everyone, it's time for charade!
We call them "sha-raids."
This is the subject I have prepared.
Good...
We will be a team.
Very good.
Didi and Celia will be team two.
- What is that? - Shut up!
Come on, Marion. Choose.
Two medical students I've ever known.
- Let them start - Noo...
"Indian Love Call," by Harback and Hammerstein!
- Guppies! - No, no.
King and Queen Tut!
There is no Mrs. Tut!
- Oh oh oh! - Oh, he got it now
Concubine!
Oohh!
I know! Sex!
This game is misread.
Marion, come out so I can explain that to you
Now, Marion, what happened?
I promised myself that this would not happen.
Do you have to promise yourself?
I don't know, I... can't think clearly.
Have you slept with him?
- No. - Do you ?!
- No! - Thanks God.
You don't love him?
He thinks he's in love with me.
Charles is only capable of monogamous relationships
with the film itself.
But I want to believe it before me...
What were you before?
Listen to what you say!
You know, Willie is the first person who has ever trusted me And I only have it keep him as a human
I think he will... he will...
he will die if I leave him I think he will do it.
And you think Charles Chaplin will die if you leave him?
Charlie might cry at my grave and read some bad poems he wrote.
But give him one or two days and he will be marketed again.
One or two days Charles will copulate the pallbearer is quite interesting.
What's up, honey? I'm sorry.
No, don't be sorry.
- It's just... - Talk to me.
- Just what? - everything
- I feel like it's all slipping away. - What is?
Everything. I.
Tonight Hearst called me a disabled person in the drawing business.
- That's a bad thing to say. - Do people see me as a disabled person?
- No. - Or pork credit?
- no, honey - Oh my God...
I used to be a force in this city.
- You are strength - Not long ago.
I used to make 40 pictures a year.
Now I'm lucky if I can take one from the ground - God, I really need it. - You'll get it
- Do you think so? - I know so
- Are you? - Yeah, I know that
You are a force
- me, right? - You are.
Marion must have thought you were a bad kisser
or else he will come back now.
Hey, Charlie,
You look like Adolphe Get in this ad.
That's because Adolphe Menjou.
No wonder I've never heard from the picture Who wants to see
Charlie Chaplin's production without Charlie Chaplin?
Type that, right?
Dirt.
Be strong and keep telling him no.
- understand? - Yeah.
Four people on the bed and Chaplin was the only one who fell asleep.
That is something you don't see every day.
WR?
Wire comes through from the New York office.
This is an item that will be published in the New York Daily News tomorrow.
- Grace Kingsley - God!
One of my photos is he bashing now
- I'll leave it here for you - No, no, go ahead and read it.
"Charlie Chaplin continues to pay attention to Marion Davies. He spent that night in Montmartre eating and dancing
with Marion being fair last night.
There are beautiful young dancers entertaining that night
And Charlie applauds but with his back turned.
He never looked away Marion's blonde beauty.
Miss Davies saw very much picked her up. "
Photos?
Studio close-ups respectively. - Placed side by side? - Yeah.
Description?
" They are still visible around each other. "
I'll leave it for you.
Good. You can go now
- Should I call? - Get out !!
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Two hungry men to death
decided to eat their hair like spaghetti Is that funny
Hmm... alright,
it depends on whether it's "funny," You want to make people laugh.
Sarcasm doesn't match your hat, Elinor.
I want to show you something really fantastic
Bring the cannon here!
Ladies, don't be afraid. Mr. Cannonball!
Bring it up here, boy. How is it going?
Stop. Back, boy.
Get out of the way.
Put it there.
- Ready, Mr. Cannonball? - I am ready.
Alright. Back, You will be covered.
Only us who are brave will stay here
- Ready, Mr. Cannonball? - I am ready!
Amazing!
Amazing, amazing!
Every time! With a jingle!
I don't know how many times I've seen you do that
but it never ceases to amaze me.
I believe I've seen you before at Catalina last summer.
Yes. Catalina, up and down the coast from Frisco
clean it to Ensenada.
Wherever you see a cannonball hits a man's stomach
and you see the same person walking on both feet,
you see me Didn't I tell you
- Tom, that's good - Great.
You've seen it 100 times...
How many more times You think it will take time
before the cannon cannon through the poor man back?
I don't know, but Hearst will be there with one match in his hand.
That's what he's waiting to see.
George.
You know, Margaret,
there are certain unspoken ties
between single women who are stuck on a cruise ship together.
What Didi wants to know is,
Are you really Tom Ince's lover?
- I'm sorry? - I think he is very interesting.
Not to mention influential.
She's a bit short, But everyone in this city
much smaller than you want.
Excuse me.
Are you crazy?
I've tried your approach. That doesn't work.
I have to show him that I can handle it personal life too
- Marion only affects him. - By proving that Marion is not loyal ?!
Which will make him hate you forever.
I know you are looking for some harpons,
But this one is dangerous with two eyes.
- Tom, we need to talk - Not now, Margaret.
Seeing...
Hello everyone! Do I miss him?
Marion!
- He can do it again - Shut up.
Oh, you just missed it!
It's amazing how I set it to skip it every time
Hello. I don't think we have been properly introduced.
I'm Jessica Barham, Frank Barham's wife.
- Margaret Livingston. - Charmed.
And what do you do?
I'm a Tom Ince lover.
You are listening to the KFI studio orchestra with our weekend music number,
There is a southern voice here.
Willie?
WR!
I've been looking for you.
What about the tour you've promised?
- Oh yeah. - I've been meaning to tell you...
I have news...
If you are starving and don't have food, would you eat your shoes?
- What ?! - your shoes Will you eat it?
- Of course I will. - You will?
- I have to boil it - That's funny.
Well, this isn't.
Oohh! The Daily News gets a scoop.
Embarrassing for Willie, not even Hearst newspapers.
If Willie asks you, I want you to tell him what I have told him,
- That's all cheap gossip. - You lie if you want,
If he asks me, I will look right in those impotent eyes
and tell him I want to take the girl , tear his shirt...
Don't !!
Don't punish me for being with Willie!
You're afraid because you can't admit that you love me I can say that I love you, Marion!
- I love Willie! - He can never love you only!
He has letters and books - politicians and his wife and children.
I can give you all my love
Do you promise Lita all your love?
and then take it now that she is pregnant ?!
That is a mistake!
My calm with Lita caused by part of me It tried to tear my life.
But I can never love her.
I can never marry her. If I do it it will destroy
- Everything I've ever done. - It's about you, Charlie!
No, I'm from zero! You don't know what poverty is.
I know what feels like shit and not!
Everything I've done for, I've got myself!
Yeah, and Willie has nothing to do with that?
You want to know about Willie? Willie always to be trusted.
- Go to hell! - This is my house and my cruise ship,
This is my Marion Davies all filled in and installed.
But Marion could never leave the palace
Because if he finds out he will be aware he never really lives.
Why did you do this to me? Because we are supposed to.
Only words... No, passion!
I don't mean passion for... yacht
or gin or dope
or Charleston damn it!
I'm talking about...
Now what,
Boys, that's something beautiful, WR.
I say, I might be married to Nell,
But boating is my secret love.
What? Oh, yes. Secrets of Love.
And this boat...
always makes me happy Calm down.
God, it's practically snoring!
When I came down here, this voice calmed me down.
You are civilized, WR.
Why did it surprise you?
Because, you have the power to act uncivilized.
You can skip the rule, but no.
Before I call you a is rich or strong,
I will only call you worthy.
Thank you, Tom. I'm not just saying that.
It's amazing to me how civilized
You have behaved all weekend.
I mean... remembering. Considering what?
Well, it's clear...
Chaplin has a design for Marion.
I mean...
His nerves are tempting so blatantly.
After you.
Everyone knows what he is doing.
It must be very annoying.
Yes, I have everything under control.
What do you mean "everyone"? What?
You only say "everyone" knows. Who are people
Good...
everyone on this ship for example.
If someone comes after my Nell,
I don't know that I will be able to exercise like that...
impressive restraints
You must always be in control.
If not, you are just like everyone else.
Excuse me...
Can I enter the library? Cursing! I locked it
Sorry about that, Dan. See you above, Tom.
"Up Top, Tom," try saying that's three times fast.
WR?
Thank you for the weekend.
Ohh.
Thank you for playing with me Don't mention it.
It's really rather boring, right?
What is it? Pingpong.
- I think you want to play. - I did it. I want to be better.
Anyone who plays ping pong.
This is rather boring. I only play Because I can beat Tom.
- Tom Ince - Right.
Why should it be important if Can you beat Tom Ince?
Because Tom Ince is my lover.
That's very interesting.
I mean, that's really fascinating.
We just met,
but you instinctively feel like you can trust me You know something, Margaret,
It happened to me all my life.
People feel able to confide their deepest secret in me.
As you just did.
I hate exploding your bubble, I will tell anyone is on the other side pingpong table
Yes, but how lucky
that I just learned to play ping pong
or maybe you have told the wrong person
There are people who are wrong, you know.
Yes, I know.
Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
My service
Marion! Marion!
Bring in.
Happy birthday, Tom!
Express a hope!
Alright, here it is.
Will you take it to cut it? Thank you.
All right, hold it back there. Hold it.
I want to propose a birthday bread
for my good friend and cowboy maker,
- Thomas Harper Ince,
one of the giants from the film industry.
To only give an idea of how big he is,
he just made a proposal that we combine our ownership
in the film industry.
We have not reached an agreement,
But I can say, that's one of the most insightful and...
the smart guy I've ever known.
Maybe it's time...
I hereby call this meeting from the board of directors
Officially over! Alright, alright.
Music, music! This is for Tom!
Thank you, WR.
You're too generous Now the real thing for everyone thoughts is whether or not
Willie will let us have a glass of champagne again
What is everyone's mind? A second glass of champagne?
Now, that's in my mind, I can tell you that.
I don't ask many questions.
But a little I asked me...
must be respected I don't say this...
as a threat,
That's just an expectation that I have as a man.
ME...
I am a man who asks people to...
behaves according to my wishes...
on my boat
Why is it so difficult to understand?
Charleston! Charleston!
Dah-da da da da...
Excuse me for a moment.
I'll be back soon.
- Is everything okay, Tom? - Yeah. Damn it. This will pass.
Watch, Charlie,
we are doing homelessness now
I'm proud of you.
What are you proud of? I'm observant, I'm insightful
but I still don't have an agreement.
- Tom, for God's sake... - You don't understand I need a firm decision from him or the whole weekend is worthless
- Let's dance, Georgie-Porgie. - Of course.
Women and men,
I gave you Marion Davies,
New Trap.
WR.
Hello, Tom.
I have to thank you again for making this birthday so memorable.
Don't mention it.
I also want to thank for your kind words about my business proposition.
I really think we will make a great team.
Yes, Tom.
Partnerships of any kind are based on two things,
trust...
and share.
If you have information to share with me, I will trust you to do it.
That's why I think it's best I bring something to your attention.
When you're busy Being a gracious host,
I had watched other situations
Thank you, Tom.
I need to know
Now I'm going to...
I'm going to deal with this problem.
You see what I wanted,
I want Mr. Hearst listens to me but I don't want to be rude You will not succeed WR by being polite.
Very?
Rules of good behavior is for the waiter and doorman.
Authors and artists freed from such impractical behavior.
It's best to prevent your eyes, honey.
But what about the baby, Charlie?
Willie will lead becomes the biggest scandal.
The press already knows. There hasn't been a scandal.
This will be a scandal if you don't marry her.
They will tear you to pieces.
You will look very beautiful When you dig my grave.
Stop.
Please enter.
I did it.
I arrived at Hearst.
You haven't got one yet.
I have overcome concerns Parents may have.
I'm glad someone's concern has been guarded.
Oh, come on, honey. I mean...
I feel good now.
Don't ruin it for me, okay?
I don't want to damage anything.
I have the best time,
playing ping pong with Lolly Parsons
and roam for them when you want to screw!
I'm sorry in the middle trying to save my professional life
I can't give your acting career a boost.
This isn't about my acting career, god damn you!
This is about us!
I... really don't have time for this
I want to get out.
Never again.
- No, no more. This is it. - I am responsible for taking you seriously.
Very? That will be the first time.
Alright.
I can see that you are not interested in discussing this rationally,
I'll take a walk on the deck, let you calm down But, if you still want to leave,
beg for patience to be careful.
Why, I am a courtesy flower.
Here's your fucking gift!
Shut up!
We have to say with the press and Lita and Willie
- Because we believe in us - Charlie...
I know I know. Time, time...
My mother always said, "Romantic love fades away. Married to sympathy and friendship."
But you are not married yet.
however.
Uh-hmm.
Maybe Marion is awake.
I love Willie... or I still love him
- You have to think about us now - Hey, trust me, okay?
I have faith What do you think about this?
"The Gold Rush," starring in Charlie Chaplin and Marion Davies.
- What ?! - I have to replace Lita - So, my second choice? - You must be the first if...
If I sleep with you early.
Yes.
We're good tonight.
Well, I'm fine.
I'm better God!
Marion?
Nothing I... it's been cold for a while.
Can I be honest with you?
If I want to keep an eye on your photo,
I need us to reconcile about some things.
Things that are...
annoying WR
Like?
Like you and...
Charlie.
But I have to know the truth
to balance your needs with...
He will find out, you know.
And when he does, I prefer someone who can help you
How do I look? Silly, right?
Charlie has certain feelings for me.
But I've convinced him There's no point in chasing me.
But there is never love.
Not at least from my side.
I don't love him. I never.
That's really all there is.
No! Nooo !!
God, Willie, what What are you doing?
Yes?
I'll be there.
Hello?
What ?! Fast! Please!
Oh, for God's sake!
I didn't mean to do it.
It was an accident.
Ahhh !!
Oh, for God's sake!
Joe.
Shut him up.
Is he dead? Not.
It's okay, Lolly. Yes, right.
Ahh!
Shh... it's okay.
Come on, let's take you to your room We have to take it some real facilities
Where is the nearest port?
Chief? Where is the closest port?
Definitely San Diego.
Come on, Pops, let's stand up.
Here, let's go here.
Willie...
- That's Tom. - Willie
That's Tom.
Look at me.
- Huh? What? - You must be strong.
Why?
Why do you say
has there been no love?
That's not about you.
Then who?
Charlie.
I'm talking about Charlie.
Really?
Yes! That's who I'm talking about
You see,
you are...
my whole... all over the world!
Will he die?
- Maybe. - God help us.
- God is who we work for. - Then God is in trouble.
Come on, who are you thinking about? Have president-elect Coolidge?
It's just that Tom Ince is lying here right?
- Who knows Tom Ince? - Only a man, I guess.
Less than that
If...
If we move it, what's the chance?
It's hard to say, WR,
There seems to be no wounds coming out.
The bullet is in his brain and he is still alive?
This is unusual. Lincoln didn't die immediately.
If they know more about bullets and their brains may survive.
- We know there are surgeons in San Diego? - There is nothing we can believe
I prefer a private ambulance from Los Angeles and treat him up there.
Then get a car for another two hours later Not for long, Joe.
Lincoln was exaggerated.
Let's move Tom now so we can Bring him from the boat quickly.
- Your cabin will be the best. - OK.
I think he tried to say something.
WR,
why don't you take Marion to her cabin and...
You gave him this.
This will help him sleep.
Can you handle it?
Of course I can. I'm not a kid
Tom will be fine No, Tom
Is everything okay? I thought I heard a noise.
Everything's fine, George. Go to sleep.
L... I'm sorry...
I am just...
Poor Tom...
I feel very...
He will live.
I know that.
Dr. Goodman told me.
He said that...
Abraham Lincoln is... It's okay.
Here.
You have to take this.
- take him - I got it
Yes? Is there someone there?
It's just that Dr. Goodman...
sorry to wake you up It's okay.
Alright. Well.
I will start it all.
- WR? - Hmm?
Joe, yes, yes.
Be careful, just lift it very gently.
That's it.
Be careful. Pay attention to his head.
What's the matter ?!
I think we said the car won't be here for two hours.
I don't know what he's doing here so fast.
He is not one of mine. I called Chaplin's driver.
- Damn, Joe! - He always insists on his own people.
I don't want to arouse suspicion more than necessary
Oh no. There is no suspicion at all!
Hello? Hello?
Nell? WR Hearst here
Mr. Hearst, how are you?
- I'm fine, nell - I'm happy to hear that.
Unfortunately, Tom has an accident. What's bad
God! What happened?
- Nell, - Yes?
I don't know to tell you this, except to start by saying that
Tom is very depressed about his business lately.
I know.
Well, I hate being the one to tell you,
- He is not loyal - What do you mean ?!
Let me get there, right?
He is uh...
he was brought to him very strongly,
and to my knowledge... he tried to end it.
Please, tell me what happened to Tom.
Now, Nell...
Alright, God-save-'im, he shot himself.
Huh? Shot alone
Nell, he lives,
and he gets the best from care.
Dr. Our goodman drove him to your house with private ambulance
Nell?
I'm here.
Give me his name personal doctor Can you do that?
Yes. This is Dr. Glasgow...
Ira Glasgow on...
It's okay.
For God's sake, Nell, I'll make sure of it None of this is in the newspaper.
God, you have to! - I just said I would, Nell.
Now...
You must remain strong and silent,
and waiting for Dr. Glasgow.
We will have it there now.
I'll wait for the doctor... bless you, Mr. Hearst
No one will know.
I appreciate Tom's friendship too much for that.
- Sorry, what are you saying - Friendship, Nell !!
- Of course... - We...
we tell everyone it's the stomach
- Boils - Ulcers, yeah
I know this is difficult,
But I have to hang up now and contact Dr. Glasgow.
- You just sit and wait. - just sit and wait...
- Goodbye, Nell. - Tom. Poor Tom...
Goodbye.
Yes?
Good morning, Chief.
You seem to rest well.
Yes, okay...
whatever Dr. Goodman gave me
Give me the right to sleep, thank God I am very happy.
That was a tragic accident, Mr. Hearst.
Yes, Lolly?
Still...
It's not anyone's fault, really, If you consider all sides.
You are very good at that, remembering all sides
You meet very few people are able to consider all sides.
This is a bad prize.
Mr. Hearst,
I have to admit, and...
I know I'm a bit clear but I'm...
Do you have a second time to talk to?
I have two and a half minutes.
Good.
Well, I will violate one of your golden rules this weekend
by mixing business with pleasure.
I will ask you about my syndicated expansion
with more prominent by-line.
Why don't you say something? I'm sure we can manage...
I will say something but then I start thinking,
and the only way I can get the real effect on the reader
and the community that I cover,
is if I have time Lots of time,
WR.
I agree with you, 100%.
I will prepare the office... eight year contract.
Eight years?
WR, now why.
Eight years won't do anything from us.
We are at a point in our career where we need security Security?
Whose security?
The wrong person
There are people who are wrong, you know.
I know.
I am willing to devote my life to the Hearst newspaper But I need to know here and now
that you are willing to give me the life I want You gave me my security...
and I will give you yours, WR.
For life.
Lifetime contract...
I swear I heard a shot.
Some people will say anything to get attention I hear sounds all night. But not a shot.
Shut up, I know what I heard.
I also heard noise. Have you ever seen Tom?
No.
Why do we stop? Where are we?
But I don't know the plan. We are not scheduled to stop here.
I'm aware of that.
Maybe he was taken to shoot fish.
Only me
- I love you. - Is he okay?
He will be fine. Everything is.
Now you go back to sleep.
Kono.
What brings you to San Diego?
They told me about the change of plan.
- Who told you? - Mr. Office Hearst.
- is there anything left? - Only doctors and people are injured.
- injured - There is a bandage on his head.
- There is blood - What man?
I don't know Briefly I think he is you.
- Is he aware? - Not for my eyes Damn Jap!
Or WR fired a sea eagle for our breakfast!
You know it's bad luck to shoot albatross
- Good morning, Charlie. - Good morning.
Good morning. - Unfortunately, I have bad news.
Tom Ince got sick last night and decided to leave early.
- What's wrong with him? - He said his ulcer was acting up.
- Why isn't anyone calling me? - Hell, we want to,
But Tom said don't bother you.
She's fine. Goodman brought him home.
Where are Marion and Lolly?
Ah... they took care of Tom during his troubles.
You know, Lolly has its own boils.
They wake up half night. Both of them are still resting.
Which...
remembering the delay,
means we have to cut Our short trip in San Diego here.
- You're kidding me. Oh no.
Don't worry, I've done it Get a car for everyone We must go up and visit a newborn boy.
That's a good idea.
However, there is one thing I want to ask you,
and I can't say this with enough seriousness.
In our eyes, Tom Ince left this ship
with angry behavior.
But I can't begin to imagine it what the press will make.
Wild birthday parties, Illegal alcohol, orgies...
Reputation is... is very fragile
Just terrible They will connect Tom's innocent ulcer for every secret that each of us has.
I see,
I ask you to join me in uh...
in silent oath.
Only a little.
You fall asleep, you leave early,
whatever reason you like
But you don't know What happened to Tom Ince on this ship.
I want to swear... oath.
Me too! Let's make it in blood.
Of course, why not? Well. Thank you to all of you.
Marion?
Oh, Charlie...
Are you okay?
What happened here?
I'm sure I talked to Tom when I said it Thank you all for coming and make her birthday like an unforgettable event
Why don't we all pack and meet on the deck in one hour?
WR!
Has all this happened before? or after I see you Seeing me? When?
Last night, in the corridor.
You don't see me, Tom.
This is George, and...
All you have to do is get in the limo and go home.
But he doesn't even look like me!
He... he... wears your hat, it's dark...
Willie...
Jesus!
Excuse me, Mr. Hearst. Are you sure Tom is okay?
She's fine.
Everyone talks about sound...
sound, gunshot
I have not had time to tell you You are quite a beautiful actress.
Thank you, but if Tom isn't feeling well...
Please, don't worry, he gets the best from care.
We need to meet in the studio. God, you are good!
I saw the photo you did and you played... uh...
beautiful young woman, what is her name?
Oh, I don't remember the title, but you are beautiful What about next week? Friday? How about that?
Oh... Friday. Uhm...
I... I want you to know
that Tom speaks very lovingly about you and he wants you to know that
he was very sorry about what happened
Why didn't I wake up? Doesn't he want me to accompany him?
accompany him
Son, you are the employer.
You can't accompany him home to greet his wife and children.
See you on Friday.
What are you waiting for? Let's get off this bloody ship!
- You have to do something - I just bet on him.
Okay, WR, here I am.
It's easier to hit than seagulls.
You left this in his room.
There is something for your scrapbook, Charlie I really don't understand Tom Ince's blood on it!
Don't you have a sense of responsibility?
Do I pull the trigger or shoot him in the head ?!
I can produce three witnesses on this boat alone
you see? It's better for everyone if Tom Ince experiences a massive attack.
And you, Marion? Is it better for you?
Only Marion knows what is best for her.
As long as it agrees with the voice of his master.
No.
All I want is to see Marion happy.
That's what I used for my life for the past seven years
And for years I was left behind.
Can you promise that, Charlie?
If he can, Marion,
and if you can believe it...
Leave.
Good luck to you two
Come on.
For how long?
For now, forever, as long as you want!
As long as you want.
You didn't tell me that this...
attempted murder revive your love for Willie?
Leave it alone, Charlie.
Go with me I love you.
The old goat really caught you, right?
No...
I have me
I'm not there.
ma'am?
Like others Small bullets hide in their skulls,
Thomas Ince survived unconscious for two days
before dying in his own bed.
There is a lot of misinformation In the days after his death,
most of them come straight from the Hearst press machine,
which can be explained unclearly that Ince was "knocked unconscious"
when visiting Hearst at the top of the farm!
Three weeks later, San Diego District Attorney
do obligatory investigation and,
"satisfied with his death from Thomas H. Ince
caused by heart failure as a result of acute digestive disorders. "
He didn't check the body because Ince was cremated immediately,
and except Dr. Goodman,
no boating party member was ever questioned,
including Hearst.
DA San Diego suggested
it's the Los Angeles office continue the investigation
They politely refuse.
Marion.
Charlie, what are you doing, you drugs?
Don't you have a ride?
I only....
I want to meet you
I'm here.
She's...
dead, Charlie
I know.
I moved to Mexico in a few days.
Mexico?
Try again in the old marriage game.
How bad is that?
Come on, Charlie.
Enter.
Where do you go?
I have settings to make,
avoid the press and Fun things like that.
Come on, I'm not like that _ sad like all that, right?
Goodbye, Charlie.
I will send a postcard
"Love and kiss from me and miss."
To this day,
no two accounts weekend cruise is the same,
including who, actually, is on board.
There are no logs, you see, there are no notes or photos.
And no one is involved writing or talking about that weekend...
that... arrived significantly after the death of the old man,
and even only in puzzles.
Immediately after Tom's death, Margaret Salary Livingston
unexplained jumps from $ 300 to $ 1,000 a week.
Finally, he retired to manage his husband, Paul Whiteman,
band leader popularized Charleston.
Lolly got a contract all her life,
and for the next 30 years,
to be the most powerful and feared gossip columnist in America.
Three days after Tom's funeral, Charlie married Lita Gray in Mexico.
It lasts two years.
He did it, however, repeated his role in "The Gold Rush,"
and shoot all the scenes.
Despite spending a lot of money, the picture was a big success.
It took another three years for WR to let Marion do a complete comedy.
As Charlie predicted, he won.
He retired in 1937, but lived on the Hearst side
until he died at the age of 88.
I have had a recurring dream recently...
I returned to Oneida,
have a glorious time
But I see how ridiculous everyone looks and I wonder why they didn't realize it.
Then I see that, actually, I also look like a fool.
However, this is very fun...
no one can stop If we stop...
we don't have anything
Come on everybody!
