Without Reservations

America on the March...

...brings you a special event.

When war ended last year, numberless plans were proposed...

...for the advancement of peace and prosperity.

But from among them has emerged one...

...which has captured the imagination of the world.

It's popularity enhanced by the fact...

...that it's presented in the form of a novel.

Here is Tomorrow by Christopher Madden...

...is a blueprint of the future which offers a daring concept...

...of how man can shape his own destiny.

Mark Winston, the hero of this unusual book...

...has become the center of controversy...

...which could not be greater were he a living, breathing leader of the people.

Says fortunate publisher, Philip Jerome:

Here is Tomorrow has led the best selling list for 16 consecutive weeks.

It has been translated for worldwide distribution.

As with all bestsellers...

...Here is Tomorrow goes to Hollywood.

To be produced by Henry Baldwin.

With Cary Grant as Mark Winston.

And Lana Turner as the girl.

Says Producer Baldwin:

I am proud of the honor and privilege...

...of bringing Here is Tomorrow to the screen.

It will be the most important picture of my career.

Beautiful speech, Mr. Baldwin.

Later, Charlie, later.

People in every walk of life have been influenced by the book.

From the highest...

For my money, this book offers the best answer yet to all our problems.

...to the lowest.

I've come to America 32 years ago. It's great country.

And Here is Tomorrow will surely get us out of the hole.

And in the Senate of the United States:

Everyone should read this book.

It is a blueprint for happiness politically, socially and spiritually.

It gives me great pride that it was a member of my own sex...

...who pointed the way.

Christopher Madden is a woman.

A girl in shining armor.

An American Joan of Arc.

And now, the authoress herself, Ms. Christopher Madden.

As she parries questions from journalists...

...representing the press of the world...

...prior to her departure for Hollywood to adapt her book for the screen.

Ms. Madden, how does it feel to be called America's Joan of Arc?

Well, I only wrote a book, I didn't intend to head a movement.

So did Harriet Beecher Stowe, and look what happened.

Did you model Mark Winston after an actual person?

Any resemblance between Mark Winston...

...and any living person is purely coincidental.

But he's very real to me.

You see, I lived with him for two years.

Morning, noon and night as I wrote the book.

I know everything about him: His tastes, his habits...

...the books he reads, the music he likes.

It's an experience I'll never forget.

Whether Christopher Madden and her Mark Winston...

...will make American history, only time can tell.

America on the March.

-Jack, you've done a wonderful job. -Thanks.

This reel will be in every theater in the country.

Wonderful. Get Ms. Madden in New York on the phone.

It's too late. It's 4:00 in New York now. She's about to get on the train.

Potter, did you send the invitations to the reception?

Oh, yes, Mr. Baldwin.

The mayor will speak at the station, the governor at dinner.

-Fine, and I want everyone to be there. -We've invited everybody.

Did you wire Madden about Grant?

Yes, Mr. Baldwin, I sent it to the train, Grand Central Station.

-She should be receiving it now. -Fine.

The whole office was terribly upset. We didn't even tell Mr. Baldwin.

We just couldn't get anything better.

But from Chicago, you'll have a drawing room.

That's all right. I like traveling on the Pullmans.

-You meet the people. -Nothing but the people.

Our man will wait for you. He has the tickets for the room.

-His name is Louis Burt. -Fine.

-Let me know if you need me. -Ms. Madden?

-Yes. -Yes.

Telegram.

-Here you are, son. -Thank you, sir.

All aboard.

Thank you.

Anything else?

I'd like to ask Ms. Madden a question.

-What is it? -Well, sir, it's about my girl.

Since she read Ms. Madden's book...

...she keeps telling me that all she feels for me is a glandular attraction.

Well, what I want to know, sir, is, what is a glandular attraction?

Oh, it's from Baldwin.

"With deep regret, Cary Grant informs me he cannot be Mark Winston...

...due to conflicting commitments.

This would've been a serious setback but it came to me...

...how wrong it would be to have a known actor play this role.

Stop. It should be a new face. Stop.

My staff is already organizing a night and day search for the right man.

This will be an even bigger search than Scarlett O'Hara. Stop.

Anyway, don't worry, we still have Lana Turner.

-Stop. Regards." -All aboard.

Lana Turner?

Lana Turner?

Oh, boy.

And that, my son, is a glandular attraction.

Do you realize what this means?

I sold the story to Baldwin because he promised me Cary Grant.

Oh, wait a minute.

I won't have an amateur playing Mark Winston.

You call him up and tell him I insist on Cary Grant.

-Better get on if you wanna go with us. -Right.

-Call and tell him and be firm. -I will, Kit. Take care of yourself.

He'll be waiting at the station, Burt, Louis Burt.

Oh, Phil, never mind calling Baldwin, I'll send him a wire. Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Mr. Klotch. -Goodbye. Good luck.

Oh. Oh, I'm so sorry.

An intellectual.

-Here you are. -Thanks.

-Rusty, you know what? -What?

-You were right. -Yeah.

Chase around. Look for what you want and you find it in your own backyard.

That's right.

Three times we walked through, we didn't see a thing.

There's no use knocking ourselves out.

You said if we only relaxed, everything would be lovely.

Like that French fellow wrote...

...about the kids who went out looking for the bluebird.

They chased around all night trying to find it, but they didn't.

-So they came home and guess what? -What?

They found that bluebird in their own backyard.

What happened then?

Bluebird flew away.

-This bluebird won't fly away. -That's right, Dink.

You gonna do something about it?

Well, sure, I'm gonna do something about it.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

You up there?

I'm down here.

He sleeps over there.

-Maurice Maeterlinck is Belgian. -Do we know him?

-Well, apparently, you were... -Does he know us?

He's the author of The Blue Bird. The story you were telling.

-He got the Nobel Prize for it. -He deserved it.

Yes, well, he's Belgian, not French.

This girl is repeating herself.

It's certainly nice the way things turn out.

You sleep up there, Rusty down here.

I sleep over there. Everything's very chummy.

Yes, that's what I like about traveling.

People are more friendly, more relaxed.

Rusty can relax practically anywhere.

I know.

Oh, no. I mean...

I mean, he seems the sort of person who is naturally friendly.

Oh, if everybody could be like that.

If everyone in the whole world could get together with that relaxed spirit.

If people could brush aside suspicion and selfish differences...

...and let down their back fences.

Don't you think it's getting a little crowded in here?

-Oh, I guess I talk too much. -No, you're a good talker.

But doesn't all that yakking make you a little thirsty?

Come on, we'll buy you a drink.

Thanks. I'll see you later. There are things I wanna get out of my bag.

Good deal.

A beetle.

Yup.

A beetle.

Dear Mr. Baldwin:

After mature consideration...

...I subscribe to your plan of having unknown play Mark Winston.

Stop.

But search is not necessary.

As I have met Mark Winston in the flesh.

Stop.

It's incredible...

...but it's true.

I instinctively feel this...

...dark-haired...

...deep-voiced Marine flyer is our man.

Stop.

I am thrilled.

Stop.

How shall I proceed?

Regards...

...Madden.

Oh, porter.

Porter, would you take care of this wire for me?

-Yes, ma'am, at the next stop. -Thank you.

Where are you going?

Hollywood.

Got a job?

You got a boyfriend in Hollywood?

Why do you wanna go to Hollywood for? It's full of dames.

You want to come to San Diego and get a job waiting tables.

Twenty-five bucks a week, tips and two meals.

And the union takes care of you.

-Oh, are you a union member? -Oh, certainly.

This fellow I go with is an organizer. That's why I joined the union.
