and get my bags.

Ahh!

Mr. Adams, has arrived!

Welcome to Paradise, Adams!

Mr. Adams,

this is Mr. Jynson...

developer and president

of the tract.

Well, you're a friend of

Austin Palfrey's, huh?

It's a pleasure

to have you aboard.

You will find this

truly is Paradise.

Schools, churches,

country club,

playground, pool,

shopping centre.

As we say, a family can live

a full and happy life in Paradise

and never leave the village.

But they're allowed to,

aren't they?

Oh, of course, they're allowed to,

you and your family...

I don't have a family.

No family?

Mr. Adams is a bachelor?

Well, don't worry.

It's not catching.

I know,

but a bachelor in Paradise...

you'll be the only one.

That sounds like fun.

I better pay

my cab driver.

I'd hate to put him

in a higher bracket.

HOW THE:

FINNS LIVE:

Rosemary.

Ginny.

Does your mother know

you're reading this trash?

I'm eighteen.

Rosemary, may I see you

a minute, please?

Would you show Mr. Adams

to my car, please?

Crazy.

A latin student, huh?

I'm not sure this is

a good thing, not sure at all.

He's a bachelor,

and it's a family community.

I'm a bachelor, too.

I've lived here for quite some time...

You're a woman.

That's different.

Why? I understand it takes

a member of each sex.

You're a special case.

You're steering away from men...

and I do wish you'd

get over that, Rosemary.

We were discussing Mr. Adams.

When it comes to personal matters,

I suggest you concern yourself

more with your own domestic problems.

I did not appreciate

that remark.

Well, I'm sorry, but if you weren't so suspicious

of every Tom, Dick, and Harry,

you and Dolores...

- Never mind Dolores.

Whose house did you

get for Adams, huh?

Mine.

You rented him

your house? - Mm-hmm.

I moved in with

old Mrs. Curtis.

She needed someone

to care for her, anyway.

Why don't you think

of yourself for a change?

A girl like you

could have...

anything she wanted...

if she just...

If she be sweet and charming,

or just obliging to a man?

Just because you have one

unhappy experience...

Listen, one is all I needed.

I'm strictly on my own, Tom,

and I intend to stay that way.

Now if you'll excuse me,

Mr. Adams is waiting.

You're much more attractive than

my last cab driver, Miss Howard.

Thank you,

but it's Miss Howard.

Miss?

Don't they harvest

the crops around here?

Well, you're a bachelor.

That's intentional...

I mean, anytime...

Oh, I know what you mean,

but you may be even more amazed

to learn that some women

remain single intentionally.

I as one confirmed bachelor to another,

I think we'll hit it off.

When I left, if a man wanted a house,

he built one... that was that.

Valentine Loewi Davies (August 25, 1905 – July 23, 1961) was an American film and television writer, producer, and director. His film credits included Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Chicken Every Sunday (1949), It Happens Every Spring (1949), The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954), and The Benny Goodman Story (1955). He was nominated for the 1954 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Glenn Miller Story. Davies was born in New York City, served in the Coast Guard, and graduated from the University of Michigan where he developed his writing skill with a column in the Michigan Daily and honed his skills further as a graduate student at Yale Drama School. He walked away from his family's successful real estate business in New York and moved to Hollywood to become a screenwriter. He wrote a number of Broadway plays and was president of the Screen Writers Guild and general chairman of the Academy Awards program. He wrote the story for the 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street, which was given screen treatment by the director, George Seaton. Davies also did a novelization of the story, which was published as a novella by Harcourt Brace & Company in conjunction with the film release. Miracle on 34th Street earned him an Academy Award for Best Story. From 1949-50, he served as President of the Screen Writers Guild. He died in 1961 at his home in Malibu, California when he was fifty-five years old. His secretary at the time of his death, Marian Saphro, recalled many years later that her boss died in the midst of a heavy laugh. The Valentine Davies Award was established in 1962, the year following his death, by the Writers Guild of America, West, in his honor. It has been awarded annually, excepting the years 2006, 2010, and 2015. more…
