This tune ever him it's fake Holden he
did salute give you got a pencil
one thing the crowd in heads of Industry
hate worse than bad business
good music father has certainly
collected the crown heads tonight yeah
almost a full house
three kings steel Airways and armaments
and a queen oil look at Monsieur.
Grande's expression I can catch stealing
cream I wonder what he's dreaming about
bigger and better bombs inspired by.
Beethoven's oh machine gun no that's
Mozart I'll never mr. McKellen wouldn't
know what you were talking about just a
mechanic you don't like him do you
one likes is it inhuman to get things
done down things tunnel don't said the
mental eyes on my death it's alright
underground but lasted if he comes up in
the daylight besides if it is posed I
was looking at his ah
[Music]
Well I expect you're glad that over
what's the idea mr. Lloyd after Joseph
page Holden the businessman I listen to
anything certainly knows how to wear
down sales resistance yeah sure if any
of you folks are interested in dollar
come into the next room and we'll talk
about it or would any of you like some
more music first my show puppies the
concertina I'm better doing things and I
am talking about them millionaires are
the worst listeners in the world
well hey Meg keep all figures why
millionaires don't understand them you
treat them like children and well I
suppose some of you are mighty surprised
to find yourselves listening to
Beethoven but I've got a bigger surprise
waiting for an orchestra is a sort of
order and a mighty expensive one too but
don't let that worry you
we're going to get all that back between
us shut those doors my dear will you
peace I'm mr. McCallum the inventor of
the Allen ID diamond steel the man who
built the Channel Tunnel on the Bahamas
me I'm a tunnel remember he's going to
show us how to get it back Boston I do
we shoot shit down you're all probably
wondering why I asked you to come here
today well I wanted you to meet mr.
Richard McAllen who has a little
proposition to put up to her you know
him already as the man who successfully
constructed the Channel Tunnel in 1940
but before he tells you about it I want
to impress two things on your mind
firstly I'm as sane as you are secondly
mr. McAllen is a good deal saner
go ahead Mac I am only an engineer
putting up an engineering proposition
you may find it a bit fantastic
but I know it can be done the
proposition is the construction of an
Atlantic tunnel between England and.
America well they'll be difficulties of
course most of them we already know that
is quite probable that there'll be
others but if you'll bear with me I'll
try and give you the basic principles
what does make it possible is the fact
that ala Knight Steel has proven to be
non-porous even under the terrific
pressures which we might experience and
the new radium drill invented by my
friend Frederick Robbins once upon a
time there were three bears Oh Bobby you
are there was a big bear then a
medium-sized there what do you smoke
oh that's Ruth okay he'll be all right
they all looked so hard I know soft you
coming home I hate waiting when your son
was born Mac and I waited like this for
14 years it seemed longer because of the
equalization of pressure allowing of
course with a known depth of the
Atlantic and the character of the seabed
his England his America a tunnel like
that
maybe you prefer to express your
enthusiasm in mr. McAllen's actions
don't all cheer at once
well well what they say you're saying it
now they're gonna let you build probably
at my own expense
what you mean the way into interested
you can hardly sleep don't worry darling
if you believe in if they can't stop you
money you'll get it shall I
of course the world needs the tunnel you
make it sound like something heroic what
isn't it
you've always be like that doing great
thing making the world better and safer
and believing all the time you're doing
them just to please yourself what are
you saying mr. Corelli eh
I think it's an excellent idea when your
tunnel is built all the other countries
of the world will come to me for guns to
blow it up
hey little millionaires feeling mighty
fine one took up tunnel shares and then.
Oh a nine after all the Bahamas manana.
Tana makes money so we'll bit and don't
forget the governments will beckon it
means employment useless employment
that's the sort they prefer how can it
be finished I said if that'd be more
money in it than there is annoy you
leave the Atlantic alone oil and water
don't mix crazy scheme not so crazy as
your mergers to Lloyd and I prefer to
take up one-third of the tunnel shared
this anointing myself mrs. Lloyd and.
Marston propose to take up you is good
enough for me I'm with you and don't you
try and stop me I'm trying to get in
with you well I guess you may as well
all starve together that is if my
experts approve you won't starve you're
dead right I won't regret it
the tunnel means peace you make your
profit at war what do you say the.
International armaments corporation will
take three million shares thank you Oh.
Monsieur Duryea your lead will give the
public confidence to take up the
remaining shares Boston will you tell.
McCallum right nope
I will
[Music]
We're oh yeah they're gonna let me go
ahead Cuba right they were listening I
thought they were dead.
[Music]
Not sorry are you I don't know
now that it's come true I fightin why
it's okay it won't be too big for us
women oh don't worry
this is the ultra-wave television and
broadcasting station calling the world.
Frank Keith announcing for the
english-speaking union worldwide hookup
today is the third anniversary of the
inauguration of the great Atlantic
tunnel scheme we are going to celebrate
this birthday by giving the public of
the two countries vitally interested an
opportunity of seeing some of the
progress that has been made in this
colossal engineering enterprise armies
of men have for the last three years
been steadily pushing their way under
the sea from both sides of the Atlantic
you are now looking at the latest of the
competed sections on the English side no
doubt you'll all remember that the chief
factor that made the commencement of
this work possible was the invention of
the radium drill I predict Providence
vast improvements will be made in this
grill which is enable the work the
procedure to rate which was on bream top
three years ago
[Music]
The presiding genius behind all this
tremendous effort is known to you all
mr. Richard Macallan whose great faith
long tiring energy has been the
inspiration of thousands of workers you
have read of him you've heard him spoken
of you are now going to see him and hear
him speak mr. Richard mcholland today
the new Atlantic tunnel represents the
greatest industry in the world down here
a far below the Atlantic bed strewn with
the wrecks of centuries men are working
day and night from both sides of the
Atlantic they are driving their shafts
drawing nearer and nearer to one another
and one day far below the raging storms
of the ocean they'll meet and the
greatest engineering dream the world has
ever known will become an accomplished
fact and my friend mr. Jim Barton and
his co-workers at the American end I
just want ahead we're on our way
[Applause]
[Music]
Let's forward we've got a date in
America.
[Music]
Okay
[Music]

you got your birthday stood on we must
be late we are late no Hammond I want to
talk to you before I go
what about the lights he takes an
interest in him
tell me mr. McAllister what gave me the
idea of building tunnels rabbit don't
bother radium gauges remind you that

gauge you keep her amused until I come
mr. Roberts
like right conversations getting a
little cottage price oh come on all
right
mater now take that big Plaza with

mind of course in mind but you see he's
always kept busy emergency door extras

anything once
hello already puppet it's all ready for
the test huh go ahead.
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
Just okay so good to hopefully never
have too many heavy turns the day thank
you it's pretty mommy didn't marry you I
know it's a burning shame Mac won't be a
minute he's just talking ahead of him
what about radium gauges the vibration
bundle the Alpha is everyone's who told
you about that.
Danny you ought to be in charge of the
tunnel.
I want to beat him and his mother thanks
I hear they're both the charming
mr. Lloyd test run the proof in New York
says it's mr.
hello put me through to mr. Lloyd please
hello hello mr. Lloyd what is it we

to tell me now or do without me
oh come when you'll do without us what
you mean you're the servant of this camp
team again I'm not its master this time
you found that out I don't quite
understand you're a paid engineer in the
service of this company which I'm one of
the biggest shareholders I realize
that's why I can't leave now it's
impossible and miquelon you can shut
down work on the tunnel what do you mean
you want to know yes then do as you're
told
come to New York find out oh you leave
him to me
writing gently of Austin remember we can
do without him
hello
oh that's clean isn't it JP think Marvis
enough now let me put in another
cylinder now let me all right
is yours mr. McCullen has just called up
on the televised of madam where from the
tunnel no madam from his plane its plane
yes ma'am.
Oh Robbie you don't suppose that he know
something must have happened he wouldn't

they like their men was any mother's
gonna wait up a perhaps one of those
things hello hello everybody I'm
speaking from the penthouse to mr.
Lloyd's residence in New York City and
it's a wonderful night and yes wait a
minute here he comes I can see mr.
McGowan's airplane now
yes very effective as you look very
angry this is right angle
very good I'm never angry above all the
emotion you might well this be right
okay and I once heard you complain that.
McKellen was you remember everything the
concerns megarian Tonto
hello everybody that is not my proud
privilege to introduce to you over the
air the man that changed a dream into a
reality the man who created the Atlantic
tunnel mr. Richard McCullen ladies and
gentlemen there's very little that I can
tell you about the tunnel that you
haven't already heard through the press
are you well anyway I'm not married I'm
not surprised I were I might have the
same attraction for you as Magellan I
doubt it
even marriage couldn't change your
infinite monogamy I'm in love with you
thank you it isn't possible for you to
love a man like Magellan there's a
certain charm allow the dreamer even if
he dreams iron and steel the 11 yes
there's still a tremendous amount of
work to be done by everyone connected
with it and if you'll excuse me I'll get
along with my share Oh wouldn't you like
to tell us some of your personal
experiences tell us what you and your
fellow workers feel like as you borrow
your way through the tunnel rats what do
you do down there at night when you're
through go to bed
listen what's the effect of the tunnel
on the political situation ask me 50
years from now there's one exclusive
fact up to now we have tested and
completed the tunnel sections up to and
including H
how do you do
is that what I came over here for yeah
things are gonna like it I hate cheap
publicity and I won't have it's not for
you to decide my glue controls one third
of the tunnel shares this is a personal
matter
you're a paid servant of my company ah
so I see by the way is mastering useful
to you you tell him to leave me out of
his publicity or you're gonna lose him
suddenly it wasn't masters idea who he
said was he's good at that it was valia
get out do you know why you come well
not to be photographed some interview
that's where you're wrong down there
under the Atlantic you don't seem to
realize there's a world crisis our
people are beginning to lose confidence
in the tunnel and that reacts on
everything connected with it
as far as people are concerned you are
the tunnel I've got to put you on the
front page and keep you there over my
dead body
put you on the front page all right it
wouldn't last
no you've got to go crazy make speeches
before the graft is the president of the.
United States and all that sort of thing
what about the tunnel I suppose in the
bill itself well you can't build the
tunnel without money you expect me to
find the money well I can't unless the
people have got confidence in the tunnel
they believe in you you're a romantic
figure if we get you back on the front
page people will get back their
confidence in the tunnel and the money
will follow very well you want a dancing
doll I'll do it bring on your
photographer half a minute
nobody's going to look at a photograph
of a husky guy like you and this as a
woman in it to give it pep and I reckon
valya has put pep into a photograph of
an Egyptian mummy thank you Father
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Mr. Robin that money
good morning Robbie you look as though
you want some fresh air
well I feel as though I want my lunch
fresh air is much more nourishing and
you can smoke your pipe I can what my
pack I want this grapefruit
besides you didn't like my pipe today I
like everything about you besides I want
to get away somewhere where I can
breathe I see fish here so fresh that it
hurt please be happy I'm terribly
unhappy well let's have lunch
he will be merry all right.
Robbie I think you're the nicest man
I've ever met
yeah so do I when I had Jeffrey wasn't
so bad but now that he's away at school
all the time I didn't want to be a
burden on men but I'm all alone when he
does come home
his real self stays behind in the kernel.
I passed him brother I'm not jealous
sometimes I wonder he's never looked at
anyone but you
are you sure silly I want you to do
something to please me yes of course
what get a job at work where yes have
you heard of it
hobby of rich people and the curse of
the purlins something really worth doing
just as Mac thinks the tunnel is worth
doing if I were a man and could work in
the tunnel then perhaps I shouldn't hate
it so much you know anyone yet no I
found out why the tunnel shares have
gone down indeed because you've been
selling them indeed why because I have
every confidence in mr. McKellen what
the devil are you talking about have you
every confidence in mr. McCullough as an
engineer as an engineer yes I thought
now listen
well why not sit down I think the tunnel
will succeed but the public at the
moment is not quite so certain they are
selling their shares at any price by
putting mine on the market I convinced
them the scheme will be a failure when
the chairs reach rock bottom I so buy
them all back again including those I
hope of our dear friend Lloyd the enemy
shall control the tunnel syndicate you
mean you will I'm afraid I shan't have
the time I was hoping to be able to find
an efficient chairman for the tunnel
syndicate
now if you throw your shares in with
mine it'll make it so much easier to
find the new chairman and McKellen.
McKellen is a servant of the company you
and I will be the company all right I'm
with you
you.
[Music]
Sterilize your hands in here but I
haven't touched anything we don't take
any chances
the trouble is this new guess it's
getting into the tunnel it fix the
nervous system the kind of paralysis
it's infectious
yes of course we're taking every
precaution when people come into contact
with cases every day these nurses for
example so how long's the paralysis nod
we haven't found a cure for it yet but I
think perhaps it might wear off in time
stop for though we one case with his eye
he's addicted
he's practically circled to go blind.
[Music]
Fenton.
[Music]
How does he come to be here she
volunteered to work in this section but
she must have known it is dangerous.
Macallan would never have allowed it
that's why she wouldn't let us kill him.
God sure will get you home you will be
better there.
[Music]
How I must be giving back my eyes you're
quite sure there's nothing really the
matter with him
no no of course not a little rest and
treatment you'll soon be yourself again
you'll be overdoing it thank you doctor
that's right just rest and keep quite
quiet ground oh she's all right quite
all right.
[Music]
I want it Macallan is video tunnel
thickness no killer husbands were told
of course.
[Music]
We can't have this whole thing here
what you mean life writing is all like
this don't pretend Bobby I know what's
the matter with me
and swiftly hello hello hello Robbie
hello man was that rumor no where are
you I'm in the plane on the way home be
there about three hours but where is she
I don't know what's the matter nothing
wrong is there no where is she she's not
here
you mean she's not in the house no you
sure of course
right why did you make me say that
because I won't be here when he gets
back are you talking about
I'm going away and taking Jeffrey with
me are you mad I should be if I stay but
why because of it but that won't make a
difference it took the Mack he loves you
he loved you more than ever that's just
pride Oh Robbie you know me better than
that
you've got to help me in fact something
lie to him tell him anything
the only thing I beg of you don't ever
let him know the truth I can't do it
it's impossible for you end for me
for him and for me Bobby you can you
must well I see him every day how can I
but three years he's hardly known that I
exist he ceased to need me when the
tunnel took him I could bear that I had
something to give him then I made him a
home I gave him a son I love do you
still love him yes I still know but does
he still love me I won't let him stay
with me out of pity just sorry for me
he's no longer alone body annoyed that
doesn't mean anything
I know Oh Robbie I I do add to your
troubles don't I but how can I kill him
hello everything's fine
shares are up again I've got the money
we're going ahead full steam or truth
okay what's the matter on the plane just
now I what is this a joke
no what is it then Ruth's gone gone
where
I don't know you don't know I'm trying
to tell you that she's left you she's
not coming back not coming back no why
not you don't mean to tell me that
there's someone else why should you
think that and why not
you've neglected her ever since this
teller was started how many times have
you broken your dates with her and then
sent me to a Musa she must be sick of
the sight of me and now for months
you've been away in New York with the
papers full of you and volleyer Lloyd
well that was probably policy shortly a
tour of it I told her did you ever
bother to you've left her to think what
she liked and now she's left you and you
can't understand it where is she you're
too late by several years
[Music]
The EQ section II personal King
I'm sue
you mean you're leaving the tunnel desk
I can't work with you anymore
why please don't ask me I don't need
drew Ruth leaves me and you can't work
with me anymore do you think I can't
understand that
is that why know if there are any other
reason no
we've been friends for 20 years that's
over but you are not quitting you're
going through with it whatever happens
you are going through with it okay check
to the prove the moving quarter must be
made to turn smoothly back and pour well
well we've run into the same trouble
that you've just beaten strata leaks
I've come over to find out how you plug
them up with the bodies of 50 men I shut
the gates on cemented off and drill
through I wish I could get that out of
my mind
fifty men to save the lives of thousands
that's not your forgotten that's the
kind of bargain that the tunnels been
driving with us for years yes
yeah years out of the layers of an army
of men billions of dollars the hopes of
two nations sunk in that hole it's got
to come through it will come through and
when it does it'll all be worth it.
Robbins yes to those for whom the tunnel
is built I sometimes wonder about the
builders take the gap he'll go down in
history there'll be a statue of him in
every square and a statues a figure of a
man in hard cold stone by the way how is.
Mack still as bad a poker player as ever
I know haven't played it into some time
several years what's the matter you were
his best friend the tunnel needs him and
he needs me so we're together how about
some lunch before I go sorry I gotta
find a good man
I've got to go down well good luck we'll
be meeting in the middle we're coming as
fast as we can the Atlantic tunnel will
soon be an accomplished thing the
significance of this achievement should
not be lost on any one of us
however the completion of the tunnel we
should have accomplished not merely a
remarkable feat of Engineering
but something far greater we shall have
created a vital artery between the
peoples of England and America through
which will power our vast newcomers
bringing with it a common sharing of
each other's progress a closer
understanding of each other's problems
and after a through which work costs the
lifeblood of our two nations flowing
into the heart of anglo-american
friendship I tell you all the Atlantic.
Tunnel will be greater than any treaty
it will constitute the closest tie that
could unite our english-speaking nation
[Applause]
The President of the United States I
heartily endorse the sentiments
expressed by the Prime Minister
furthermore when this tunnel is
completed
sums of money hitherto wasted on wages
of soldiers and munitions of war will be
diverted into useful and peaceful
charities the nation of the world would
be able with complete security to reduce
their armaments to an unprecedented
[Applause]
[Music]
Hello Miss Robbins how'd you pick I stay
when you're gonna stop grain we're
bigger than your father's do I hope so
mr. Robbins you are glad to talk to
mother this afternoon aren't you you
know I'm old enough to work in the
tunnel now I suppose you realize what
you're asking your mother to do yes I do
yeah well she's so grand she'd
understand
will you all right a little bit where is
she this years isn't she lovely lovely
oh that did it go
course it goes mr. Ravi
cut some of these white roses maid
yes madam
[Music]
And these red that's Robby group by any
other name huh very how is he Bobby your
first question ought to be how you.
Robbie idea how are you.
Robbie dear yeah all right max not so
good he shuts himself off from everybody
when I talk to anybody except about
business surely he talks to you well you
won't talk to me anymore
what's the matter son come on what do
you trip together you'll be all right
all right boys take it off
[Music]
Well what do you want it's the mem so
they're just about done tomorrow
it's Hill in section okay the
temperatures rising to the PR I think
well what do you think
I think we're driving straight into a
submarine volcanoes are rubbish that.
Amin diverting the tunnel it might take
here where's Robin
it's the Robinson
nevermind.
[Music]
Thank you.
[Music]
How long they take it all depends on the
extent of the volcanic area might take
years as I understand it these two
tunnels are separated by some mine yes
with an active volcano between them
maybe a volcanic belt extending hundreds
of now it's not likely
it's possible anything's possible until
you can give us an approximate time
limit for the work and an estimate of
the final cost I'm not prepared to put
any more money into the tunnel speaking
for my partner and myself if Monsieur
gray Diego we go - but listen gentlemen
you can't be the tunnel now I'd be
flooded in a month and everything that
you put in it would be lost you can
still save it you've got to save it give
me three months time and I'll guarantee
you that I'll find out can you guarantee
me my money there are bigger things than
money we don't deal in trying to explain
it may not be the real crater only
offshoot shell that block at that okay
you're not gonna throw me down all you
mr. Lloyd not up to me there are only
two shareholders now that count.
Grilli and must you still believe in me
don't you I backed you because I believe
in you
I still believe that if this job could
be done you're the man that could do it
but I can't put any more money in
Atlantic tunnels 29 of the herve Irish
sorry Miguel
I'm sorry Mac I wish I could help
money the tunnel has brought you nothing
but unhappiness doesn't matter yes to me
thank you
the tunnel it's broken you just as it's
breaking me what is the tunnel to do
with you it brought you into my life I
could have made you very happy they put
you in a tough spot
you sure I told him if they let us bill
for another mile or so long I did my
best to convince him father yes my dear
chesapeake 46 my house why did you turn
against him because he failed Atlantic
tunnels
29:28 but it wasn't his fault it was
just bad luck
well don't I recognize his tool here
success and failure luck doesn't enter
into it.
[Music]
You're not going to desert him
I put almost everything I possessed into
this tunnel scheme because it represents
an ideal world peace so the union of the
english-speaking peoples it's been a
dream of my life
you think I want to see it wasted then
give Mac another three months you can
put up the money yourself I haven't got
it but you can get it you think that
either you go try I am trying
please bother because I asked you I've
never refused you anything but the
matter doesn't rest in my hand now
gyah the whole situation lies with.
Mastan
it would be mustn he holds a controlling
block of shares in the tunnel syndicate
factor present unsatisfactory status
he's doing how through a colossal number
of shares on the market stampeded in
effect and when you've knocked the
bottom out put them all back in a lot
more beside loss by this time tomorrow
every tunnel share or beyond the market
you won't be able to give him away and
the day after we shall control them all
and then carries McKellen's right it's
volcano made delayed of in three months
I want to talk to mr. Moulton do you
mind I was just going Mr Marston is
fortunate in everything aren't you
always goodbye you could afford to
finance the tunnel work well three
months couldn't I could well why don't
you throw good money after bad but it
might save the tunnel or isn't that
important it might really mean much more
important you've always gotten
everything you've wanted haven't you
always no not quite
you wanted me well you still got the
first refuse what is it the fit how much
a bargain mm-hmm I know I hear you were
so feminine I don't know what you mean
you and aloes in a little spectacular
self-sacrifice and our mutual friend.
McKellen gets the benefit what about me
shall I kill Mac that he can go ahead no
I'll tell him myself
if you had the mind to carry on for
three months you'd know one way or the
other
yes but who'd put up the money I will
you why not one of the biggest
shareholders in the tunnel I don't want
to lose the money I've already invested
I always thought you were against me I
can only say I'm sorry that's right this
is the Atlantic tunnel company stop
broadcast as was announced in our
bulletin an hour ago mr. McAllen has
returned to New York the tunnel safety
men report the conditions in Section K
have greatly improved there has been no
trace of gas during the last 24 hours.
I've done I care of them but conditions
are too bad you better talk to the man
yourself hold on a minute I have news
for you there are two things necessary
for building this tunnel money and
courage well we ran out of money but we
didn't run out of courage we all know
what we're up against down there and all
we wants a chance to carry our job
through bait for yourself I wouldn't ask
you to do anything I wouldn't do myself
you know that don't you oh all right no
I think stuff the money I want to know
who's going with
very well mr. Robinson I'll go together
we'll see you when we get back but if we
have to finish the tunnel ourselves it
may take us some little time
my friend and I have known each other a
number of years it's also a great
satisfaction to me to know that my
confidence in you hasn't been misplaced
sorry to interrupt you but I have a
disturbing piece of information the
tunnel is to be carried on experimental
air for three months I suppose it
wouldn't be news do you know who
supplied the money no our agreement I'm
sorry idle curiosity perhaps but why did
you do it well miss Lloyd is there any
message tell me what either ride along

This is the Baird television station of
the english-speaking union calling the
world it is with the greatest regret
that we have to announce the most
terrible disaster to the Atlantic Tunnel
in which it is feared many hundreds of
lives have been lost the accident
occurred in Section Kerr and it was
found necessary to close the emergency
doors of this section in order to save
the whole of the tunnel workings from
being affected which might have resulted
in the loss of many thousands of lives
the time has come when we can no longer
cherish our illusions we cannot blind
ourselves to the far-reaching
consequences of this disaster the
destruction of the Atlantic tunnel may
mean the destruction of the peace and
sanity of the civilized world we know
only too well but the Eastern Federation
of powers has long been preparing for an
opportunity the strike cut the
sovereignty of the people of the Western.
Hemisphere this is their opportunity we
have within our reach a mate a weapon of
defense that the people of the British.
Empire and the people of the United.
States of America are takes themselves
to stand shoulder to shoulder and no
power in the world can be strong enough
to defeat
[Applause]
The President of the United States
inspiring declaration of the Prime.
Minister is one so fraught with the
fervor of our own love of Liberty that
there can be but one answering cry from
the heart and conscience of every true
American that cry is we stand together
we the english-speaking peoples of the
world have more than a common tongue
more than a common tradition we have a
common trust the most sacred trust in
the history of mankind and that my
friends is to preserve the eternal light
of progress in the temple of humanity to
those who had extinguished that light we
say in the immortal words of lingam it
shall not perish from the earth and by
the grace of God in the glory of these
united people our civilization shall not
perish.
