McCarthy (actor), Michael Greene (actor), James DuMont (actor), Paul Giamatti (actor), Stanley Tucci (actor), Kevin Tighe (actor),

Plot: Biopic of the controversial muckraking journalist Walter Winchell. After spending 12 years in vaudeville, Winchell began writing a column in the New York Mirror. Part gossip, part half-truths, the reporting focused on well-known or prominent individuals and their dalliances. Winchell grew in popularity, particularly when he started his weekly Sunday night radio show. His reporting became more political in the late 1930s when he railed against Hitler. His star began to fall in the 1950's when Josephine Baker was refused service at the Stork Club and Winchell allegedly refused to do anything about it. The end came with his support of Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his own rabid anti-communism. Following McCarthy's style, Winchell accused anyone who stood in his way of being a communist. Soon, he found himself facing lawsuits, a failed attempt at a television show and eventually, the cancellation of his radio show.

The plan works, but the two love birds discover that requited love is much less exciting than forbidden romance and they break off their relationship.

Matt returns, sadder but wiser, and the two former lovers reunite.

Quotes:

[first lines]::El Gallo: Let me tell you a few things before we begin the play. First of all, the characters: a boy, a girl, two fathers. It is hard to know what is most important or how it all began. The boy was born, the girl was born, they grew up - quickly - went to school, became shy in their own ways and for different reasons. Read romances, studied cloud formations in the lazy afternoon and instead of reading textbooks tried to memorize the moon.

Hucklebee: There is a great many things I could tell you about myself. I was once in the navy - that's where I learned horticulture.

Hucklebee: Now I decided you need to be married, so I went wife shopping and I found you a pearl!::[from the other side of the wall Luisa gasps]::Hucklebee: There's that sound again.::Matt: What if I prefer a diamond?::Hucklebee: How dare you prefer a diamond when I just offered you a pearl!

[speaking of Luisa]::Bellomy: I'm her father and believe me it isn't easy. That's why I love vegetables - they're so dependable. You plant a radish, you know what you're about... you don't get a turnip or a cabbage. Why, with children, I thought I had planted a turnip or at worst, perhaps, an avocado - something remotely useful. What need have I for a rose?

Bellomy: If they knew we wanted them to wed...::Hucklebee: A pre-arranged marriage...::Bellomy: They'd sooner be dead.::Hucklebee: Children...::Bellomy: Lovers...::Hucklebee: Fantasticks...::Bellomy: Geese!

Hucklebee: How clever we are...::Bellomy: How crafty I know...::Hucklebee: To manipulate children...::Bellomy: You merely say, "No".

El Gallo: The play is not done / Oh, no, not quite / For life never ends / In the moonlit night. / And despite what pretty poets say / The night is only half the day. / So we would like to fully finish / What was foolishly begun / For the story is not ended / And the play never done / Until all of us have been burned a bit / And burnished by the sun.

[El Gallo has presented his itemized bill for his fake abduction of Luisa to Bellomy and Hucklebee]::Luisa: You mean it wasn't real - the bandit, the moonlight?::Hucklebee: We arranged it.::Luisa: But the feud...::Matt: And the wall...::Bellomy: Built to fall.::Matt: I don't believe it.::[hands Matt the bill]::Hucklebee: Read on MacDuff.

Matt: Beyond that road lies adventure!::Luisa: I'm going to roll my hair down and go swimming in the stream.

Luisa: Is it fun to be a bandit?::El Gallo: It has its moments.::Luisa: Tell what is your favorite plunder!::El Gallo: I steal fancies; I steal whatever is treasured most.::Luisa: Precious rubies?::[indicating her mother's necklace made of paste diamonds that Luisa treasures]::El Gallo: Precious rhinestones.::Luisa: Rhinestones!::El Gallo: They can be precious. Depends on your point of view.

Plot: Gangster Eddie Kagel is killed by a trusted lieutenant and finds himself in Harry Redmond Jr's special-effects Hell, where Nick/The Devil sees that he is an-exact double for a judge who Nick doesn't approve of. Eddie is agreeable to having his soul transferred to the judge's body, as it will give him a chance to avenge himself on his killer. But every action taken by Eddie (as the judge) results in good rather than evil and, to Nick's dismay, the reputation and influence of the judge is enhanced, rather than impaired by Eddie. And Eddie also falls in love with the judge's fiancée, Barbara. Even Eddie's planned revenge fails and Nick is forced to concede defeat. He returns to Hell, taking Eddie with him, after Eddie has extracted his promise that Nick will not molest the judge or Barbara in the future.
