Hangover Square Page #3

Synopsis: George Harvey Bone is a composer in early 20th century London, who is under stress because he is writing a piano concerto. Due to this stress, he gets black outs when ever he hears dissonances. When he finds himself after the black out in a different quarter of the town, he returns home, to read in the paper that somebody in that quarter was murdered. Asking help from a doctor at Scotland Yard he is assured that he has nothing to do with it, but he is advised to cut back in his work and get some relaxation like other, ordinary people. At a cheap musical he meets Netta, a singer, who inspires him for a new motive for his concerto. But Netta discovers that this motive could also be used as a song for her. The song gets sold, and she hangs around George to get more songs out of him. George believes that Netta is in love with him, and gets in an argument with his girlfriend Barbara, the daughter of Lord Henry, who wants the concerto for one of his soirées. George has another black out, and

Last time he was here he said

Let's have another drink

So I know, and you know

Joe is in the clink

The clink, the clink

the clink, the clink, the clink, the clink

- The clink

- Methink, methink, methink

Methink thatJoe

is in the clink

Have you seen Joe

Joe has vanished in thin air

- Have you seen Joe

- No, he ain't anywhere

Last time he was here he said

Let's have another drink

So I know and you know

Joe is in the clink

Oh! Saucy with the goods,

ain't she?

- They want another song.

- I haven't got another one.

- Sing anything.

- I've sung two. That'll be a guinea.

All right, I'll pay in a minute.

- Hello, George.

- Hello, Micky.

Eddie Bates!

There you are.

Good night.

Why do they wake me up

so early in the morning

Oh, to sleep a minute more

Till they rattle on me door

- There now, you did very well.

- In front of that audience?

- Now, now, now.

- "Have you seen Joe?"

I'll get somewhere

with that, won't I?

They're a difficult audience.

You held them every minute.

They know what they like.

They liked you.

- Well, I didn't like them.

- All the same, you were very good.

- I thought you were wonderful.

- Oh, this is George Bone.

- Netta Longdon.

- How do you do?

Netta's just moved into the square.

He writes music.

- Songs?

- No, I'm afraid not.

Oh, no, symphonies.

Classic stuff.

- How about another drink, Micky?

- Right you are.

When I heard you singing in there,

I got an idea for a sort of tune.

May I play it for you?

Listen. That's good.

Is he important?

He's a well-known composer.

He's quite important.

Mm-hmm.

- If you had some words, you could sing that.

- Uh-huh.

Say, I've got a lyric that would fit that.

Do you remember?

- What?

- "All For You."

All for you

I've changed my way of living

My way of loving too

Come what may

My love will be all for you

Oh, but that's perfect!

That suits my voice exactly.

- I brought you a drink.

- Oh, thank you.

You wouldn't care to work that up

into a song for me, would you?

Well, I could try.

Oh, I'd be awfully grateful,

Mr. Bone.

Oh, George! You all right?

- Huh?

- I'm afraid...

afraid I'm a bit squiffed.

You're all right.

You're all right, old boy.

You wrote a darn good song.

Oh! Oh, Micky. Come on!

Well, this is where I live.

Oh, that woman has

turned out my cat again.

Oh, you poor kitty out in the cold.

The landlady won't let me keep her in

the apartment. What am I going to do?

- Give her to me.

- No, no. I'll look after her.

And then you can come around

anytime you wish to see her.

That's awful nice of you, George.

What a head I'm going

to have tomorrow.

I shall call for you in the morning,

and we'll walk round the square together.

Barré Lyndon

Barré Lyndon (pseudonym of Alfred Edgar) (12 August 1896 – 23 October 1972) was a British playwright and screenwriter. The pseudonym was presumably taken from the title character of Thackeray's novel. Born in London, he may be best remembered for three screenplays from the 1940s: The Lodger (1944), Hangover Square (1945) and The Man in Half Moon Street (1945). The latter was remade by Hammer Film Productions in 1959 as The Man Who Could Cheat Death. Lyndon began his writing career as a journalist, particularly about motor-racing, and short-story writer before becoming a playwright. His first play, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, was made into an Edward G. Robinson film in 1939. After that success, Lyndon moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1941 to concentrate on writing for films full time. He was naturalised as a United States citizen in the United States District Court in Los Angeles as Alfred Edgar Barre Lyndon in 1952. Alfred Edgar had two sons, Roger Alvin Edgar (b. England, 1924) and Barry Davis Edgar (b. England, 1929) . more…
