Goodnight wherever you are
May your dreams be pleasant dreams wherever you are
If only one little wish that I wish comes true
I know that the angels will watch over you
Director William Wyler’s suspense classic marks the only time cinema giants Humphrey Bogart and Fredric March worked together. And the result is everything you’d expect: taut, terrifying and terrific. Bogart plays an escaped con who has nothing to lose. March is a suburban Everyman who has everything to lose, as his family is held hostage by Bogart. As the desperate hours tick by, the two men square off in a battle of wills and cunning that tightens into an unforgettable, fear-drenched finale.
The Desperate Hours
My momma done tol’ me
When I was in knee-pants
My momma done tol’ me, “Son,
A woman gon sweet-talk!
And give you the glad-eyes,
But when that sweet-talk is done:
A woman’s a two-faced
A worrisome thing
That’ll leave you to sing the blues…
In the night.”
Two heavens one high in the skies
Two heavens one here in your eyes
I never dreamed I’d kiss an angel
But darling here you are
In an overcoat of moonbeams buttoned with a star

Oh, I’m packin’ my grip and I’m leavin’ today
‘Cause I’m takin’ a trip, California way
I’m gonna settle down and never more roam
And make the San Fernando Valley my home
