00:00Excuse me.
00:02Excuse me.
00:03Excuse me.
00:04Excuse me.
00:05Sorry, excuse me.
00:07Hey, Gloria, what's going on?
00:08Looks like the Gimme My Free Banana is blessed.
00:10We've got a celebrity with us.
00:12Big deal.
00:14Why's everybody acting like a bunch of lunatics?
00:17Come here, excuse me.
00:19Excuse me, I've got a lot of work to do.
00:20Excuse me.
00:21Excuse me.
00:22Excuse me.
00:32Meet Kathy, who's lived most everywhere
00:35From Zanzibar to Berkeley Square
00:38But Kathy's only seen the sights
00:40A girl can see from Brooklyn Heights
00:42What a crazy pair
00:44But they're cousins
00:47Identical cousins all the way
00:51One pair of matching bookends
00:55Different as night and day
00:57Where Kathy adores a minuet
01:01The ballet Russe and Crepe Suzette
01:04Our Patty loves to rock and roll
01:06A hot dog makes her lose control
01:08What a wild duet
01:10Still they're cousins
01:13Identical cousins and you'll find
01:17They laugh alike
01:18They walk alike
01:18At times they even talk alike
01:20You can lose your mind
01:23When cousins
01:25Are two of a kind
01:36You know, the old school hasn't changed at all.
01:38Even the kids look the same.
01:40We've added some new classrooms.
01:41Would you like to see them?
01:42Yes, I'd love to.
01:51Patty, I thought you had a math class.
01:53Who wants to go to a math class
01:55When she can look at sound video?
01:57Richard, did you see him?
01:59I saw him.
02:00Oh, did you ever see anything so dreamy?
02:04I wonder what he's doing here anyway.
02:07He used to go to school here.
02:10You're kidding.
02:14No wonder they call it the hallowed halls
02:15Of Brooklyn Heights High.
02:17Patty, will you please get that look off your face?
02:21Richard, he's a big star.
02:25I could get discovered.
02:27You mean found out.
02:31I'll bet you he's come here to find new talent
02:33At his old high school.
02:35Of course.
02:35He wants to make somebody a big Hollywood movie star.
02:38Why not me?
02:40He's here because he's going to star
02:41In a new television series.
02:43He plays a school teacher
02:44And they're going to shoot some background stuff.
02:47I knew it.
02:49It's fate.
02:50What's fate?
02:52They're going to need somebody to show them around school.
02:54Somebody who knows all the ropes.
02:56Somebody who can make life pleasant and easy for them.
03:03And guess who that someone is going to be?
03:14Sal, this is Kathy Lane, Sal Mineo.
03:17Hello, Kathy, I'm happy to meet you.
03:18How do you do, Mr. Mineo?
03:20I've enjoyed your pictures and plays.
03:22Well, thank you.
03:23I've heard a lot about you from Mr. Layton.
03:25I thought it'd be a good idea
03:26If I assigned someone to show Mr. Mineo around the school.
03:30Would you like to take on the job, Kathy?
03:33Yes, I'd love to.
03:34And I promise I won't be a nuisance.
03:37I'll bet there are thousands of girls
03:38Who'd like to be in your shoes, Kathy.
03:41I can think of one.
03:51Hey, where were you all day?
03:52You missed all the excitement.
03:54Oh, what excitement?
03:55Oh, nothing.
03:57There was just a movie star at school, that's all.
04:00I touched him with this hand.
04:02You should have seen him, Kathy.
04:04As a matter of fact, Patty.
04:06Fantastic.
04:07And he acted just like he was an ordinary human being.
04:10Patty, you know, you could tell he was a movie star
04:13just by looking at him.
04:15He had that kind of shining quality.
04:19I hear he's going to be around school for a while.
04:21Doing research.
04:22You know, I'll bet Mr. Layton asks me to show him around.
04:27Oh, hi, group.
04:28Hello, Patty.
04:29Did you know there was a movie star at school today?
04:31Oh, yeah, Kathy mentioned it.
04:33Isn't it nice that Mr. Layton
04:34asked Kathy to show him around?
04:36♪
04:42Mr. Layton.
04:44Asking you to show Sal Mineo around?
04:49I tried to tell you, Patty.
04:53I think it's just great.
04:57I wish you and Sal every happiness.
04:59♪
05:03What was that all about?
05:05I think Patty was hoping they'd ask her to show him around.
05:10Perhaps I could talk to Mr. Layton.
05:12Oh, I think we better let well enough alone, Kath.
05:14I'll go talk to Patty.
05:16♪
05:20I've got that old here we go again feeling.
05:23I don't think there's anything to worry about.
05:25I hope you're right.
05:26Patty's never been exposed to a star before.
05:28She might just go right into orbit.
05:30♪
05:47Are you all right, Patty?
05:49Sure.
05:52My ego's a little bruised, but...
05:54I'll get over it.
05:57I didn't ask Mr. Layton to select me.
06:00Yeah, I know, Kath. I'm not blaming you.
06:04I think it's great.
06:06I really do.
06:08I mean, a big celebrity comes to Brooklyn Heights High,
06:11they need somebody to show them around.
06:13So who do they ask?
06:15Do they ask a girl who knows every nook and corner
06:17of that school like the back of her own hand?
06:20Do they ask a girl who has something in common
06:22with a movie star?
06:23Do they ask a girl who knows how to handle
06:25a situation like that?
06:28No, they ask you.
06:30You!
06:31While I go to waste.
06:33Well, I'm glad you're not upset.
06:36Upset?
06:38No, I'm not upset.
06:40Sal Mineo doesn't impress me.
06:43Good.
06:47Kathy?
06:48Yes?
06:51Would you do me a favor?
06:53If I can.
06:56Would you get me his autograph?
06:58Oh, boy, this room really brings back a lot of memories.
07:01Does it?
07:02Oh, yeah.
07:05You know, a lot of this is new.
07:07Oh, yes, we pride ourselves on being a very modern high school.
07:10Well, I bet there are a couple of things that haven't changed.
07:13Like, what's the new hangout?
07:14Hangout?
07:15Yeah, where do all the kids go after school?
07:17Oh, there's a place around the corner called the Shake Shop.
07:20Well, I bet that's where they hang out, too.
07:22Yeah, that's where they hang out, too.
07:24Yeah, I bet that's where they hang out, too.
07:27Well, I'd like to see it.
07:29And I'll tell you what, after school I'll buy you a soda, huh?
07:31Oh, I'd like that very much.
07:34Uh, I'm afraid I have another engagement.
07:37But, um, I think I know someone that I might be able to persuade to go with you.
07:49Patty?
07:50Yeah?
07:51Can I talk to you for a moment?
07:53Could you make it a little later, please? I'm up to my...
07:57Hi, I'm Sal Mineo.
08:01Yeah, I know.
08:03Your, uh, your cousin Kathy suggested that you might take me to the, uh, Shake Shop a little later.
08:10My cousin Kathy suggested that?
08:13Mm-hmm.
08:16My darling cousin Kathy?
08:18The greatest girl who ever lived?
08:20Well, now, of course, if you're really busy, I can...
08:23Busy?
08:24Busy?
08:25You mean this?
08:26Oh, this is just my hobby.
08:28My real career is, uh, show business.
08:31Ah, I see.
08:33I knew you would.
08:36May I call you Mr. Mineo?
08:40Oh, no.
08:42Uh, you may call me Sal.
08:45Sal?
08:48Sal.
08:49Oh.
08:51My grandchildren will never believe this.
08:53Yeah, look, Patty, before you have your grandchildren, could we have that soda?
09:01A lot of people say that I have a natural talent.
09:04You should do some of my imitations.
09:06And I can play the tuba and I do great Hungarian accents.
09:09All at the same time?
09:11Well, I guess we're getting kind of carried away.
09:14No, look, it's great to be enthusiastic about it. It's wonderful.
09:18But in order to be a good actor, and I mean a really good actor,
09:21it takes a lot of training and a lot of hard work.
09:24Yeah, but it's all worth it, though, isn't it?
09:27Oh, look, Patty, if I told you that I didn't enjoy all of it, I'd be a liar.
09:31Sure, it's wonderful.
09:33But the only problem is that sometimes it's very difficult to have any privacy, you know?
09:37Oh.
09:39Yeah, I bet it is.
09:41Although nobody's bothering you around here.
09:44Yeah, but you see, they don't expect me to be in a place like this.
09:46I mean, that's why nobody's recognized me.
09:48But if, like, one person recognizes me, then, you know, it all sort of happens.
09:52Oh, really?
09:56Uh, hi, Gloria.
09:58Oh, hi, Patty.
10:00I was, uh, just saying to Sal here that, uh...
10:03Sal, really? Oh...
10:04Ah!
10:19Hey, a request for a new album.
10:22Personal appearances.
10:23Chicago.
10:24Detroit.
10:25Paris.
10:26Paris. I don't even speak French.
10:28I don't think it's your voice they're interested in.
10:31Oh, he's a wild one.
10:32They want to know if you'll do a show at Brooklyn Heights High.
10:37Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Let me look at this.
10:41They'd like me to appear in a review sketch.
10:43The nerve of them kids.
10:45Hey, let's do it.
10:46Are you kidding? You haven't got time.
10:48We'll cancel one of the personal appearances.
10:50Colin, you don't know what these kids are like. They've been great.
10:53I'd like to do something for them.
10:55Buy them a new school.
10:56Aside from that, come on, tell them we'll do it.
10:59Actors.
11:02Actors.
11:09Hello, Patty.
11:13Oh, this is Colin Harvey, my manager. This is Patty Lane.
11:17Hello, Patty.
11:20Hello.
11:22May we come in?
11:24Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.
11:29Hello.
11:32It's just Sal Mineo and his manager, Colin Harvey.
11:39My gosh, it really is Colin Harvey.
11:43Ross.
11:44Hello, Sal.
11:45Hiya, Kathy, how are you?
11:46Oh, this is Kathy, my cousin Kathy, Colin Harvey, and my brother Ross, Sal Mineo.
11:52Hi, Ross, how are you? Kathy, Ross.
11:54Colin Harvey.
11:56Oh, this is my mother.
11:59How do you do?
12:00And my father.
12:01How do you do?
12:02And Sal Mineo.
12:03Nice to meet you.
12:04Mr. Harvey, nice to meet you.
12:06Say, you know, you two look a lot alike.
12:09Do you really think so?
12:11Yeah, hasn't anybody ever mentioned it before?
12:13Well, it has been commented on once or twice.
12:16Sweet little place you got here.
12:19Funny how they build houses outside of California.
12:22Look, I, I, I'm sorry if we're intruding.
12:27Intruding?
12:30Oh, you know, um, the Brooklyn Heights High School has asked me to appear in a review that they're doing.
12:36Oh, but of course you're much too busy.
12:39That's what I told them.
12:40Oh, but I'm going to do it.
12:43You are?
12:44Oh, sure, sure.
12:45That's wonderful.
12:46What are you going to play?
12:47Well, I thought I'd do a sketch about a, a high school teacher.
12:51Oh, like your new television series.
12:53Yes, yes, that's right, yes.
12:54And, uh, well, I need a girl to play opposite me in the sketch.
12:57Oh, and that's why you came here.
12:59Hmm.
13:00Oh, well, you, well, you haven't made a mistake.
13:02Really, everything's going to be just great.
13:04Kathy will be beautiful.
13:05Congratulations, Kathy.
13:06Patty, he hasn't said who he wants for the part yet.
13:09Well, he certainly wouldn't want me.
13:11Well, you see, actually, uh, the, um, I mean, this part, I mean, it doesn't call for a girl that, well, that speaks with a Hungarian accent or plays the tuba.
13:20Oh, no, no.
13:21Look, I mean, Patty, if you want the part, I mean, it's yours.
13:28Uh, did you hear that?
13:33I'm co-starring with...
13:37...Salem Young!
13:43Mr. Gregory, I have a problem.
13:46Mr. Gregory, I have a problem.
13:50Mr. Gregory, I have a problem.
13:53I'll say you have.
13:55Oh, hi, Richard.
13:56What's the matter with you, Patty?
13:58I was just rehearsing.
13:59I'm co-starring with Sal Mineo.
14:01Co-starring?
14:02You're playing a little scene with him in a high school play.
14:05Well, everybody has to start somewhere.
14:07Look, if he didn't think I was good, he wouldn't have picked me.
14:09Are you definitely set for this part?
14:12Well, practically definitely.
14:14What's that mean?
14:15That means that the principal thinks everybody should have a chance to read for the part.
14:19But Sal said if I'm any good at all, he'll see to it that I get it.
14:22I'm on my way to audition now.
14:23I thought we had a date for the shake shop.
14:25That was before I was co-starring with Sal Mineo.
14:28Come on, Charlie.
14:36Hello, Richard.
14:37Hello, Kathy.
14:39Is anything wrong?
14:40Yeah. Sarah Bernhardt's off again.
14:43Oh, I wouldn't worry about it. It's only for one performance.
14:47If Patty gets that part, she's gonna be impossible.
14:51Well, perhaps she won't get it.
14:53What do you mean?
14:54Do you remember what happened the last time she tried out for a school play?
14:58Sure.
14:59She froze up and...
15:03She froze up?
15:05She froze up?
15:08That's why I came to you, Mr. Gregory.
15:10Because you're so gentle and kind and wise.
15:14Now that I've seen you, I think I know what to do.
15:21Goodbye.
15:24How did I do?
15:25Oh, you were very good, Gloria.
15:28We'll let you know.
15:30Well, goodbye.
15:33Goodbye.
15:35Who's next?
15:37Patty Lane.
15:38Patty Lane!
15:39Here I am!
15:43Hi, Patty.
15:44Hey, now look.
15:45Look, I want you to be as relaxed as you possibly can, okay?
15:48Oh, yeah. I'm not nervous. I feel great.
15:51Are you sure?
15:52Yeah, I never felt better in my life.
15:54Let's try it.
15:56We start the scene with Mr. Mineo seated at the desk.
15:59You come in to see him.
16:01You're very nervous.
16:02Oh, no, I'm not. I really feel great.
16:05I meant you're nervous in the scene.
16:07Oh, yeah. I'm nervous in the scene.
16:10Let's try it.
16:22Come in.
16:26Mr. Gregory?
16:27Hello, Susan. Sit down.
16:31I'm sorry for intruding like this.
16:33It's perfectly all right.
16:35What can I do for you?
16:37I'm afraid I have a problem.
16:40I've tried to figure it out, but it's too big for me.
16:43Oh?
16:45It concerns another teacher in this school.
16:49I don't know how to handle it.
16:51Now, who is this other teacher?
16:54Miss Morgan.
16:55Oh, your history teacher?
16:56Yes, sir.
16:59She's in love with my father.
17:01Now?
17:03I saw them together last night.
17:06She knows that I know she loves him.
17:09And now I have to face her.
17:12What can I say?
17:13Well, that's a very difficult problem.
17:17I know.
17:18That's why I came to you, Mr. Gregory.
17:20Because you're warm and kind and understanding.
17:26And now that I've seen you, I think I know what to do.
17:30Goodbye.
17:34How was I?
17:35You were marvelous.
17:37Excellent, young lady. Excellent.
17:39What did you say your name was?
17:41Patty Lane.
17:43I told you you'd be wonderful, didn't I?
17:45That was nothing.
17:46Wait till you see me opening night.
17:51Hi, there.
17:52Good morning.
17:56Good morning.
17:58We need help.
18:02What's your problem?
18:04Well, the problem is...
18:07How do you compete with a celebrity?
18:10I don't think you have to compete with anyone, Richard.
18:12You're wrong, Mrs. Lane.
18:13Ever since I was a kid, I've never competed with a celebrity.
18:18You're wrong, Mrs. Lane.
18:19Ever since Patty met Sal Mineo,
18:22you'd think I was nothing.
18:24I mean, he's a famous actor, he's rich, and he's handsome, and...
18:28You want to know what she sees in him.
18:30Oh, no, sir.
18:32I know what Patty sees in him.
18:34What I want to know is what he sees in her.
18:39I imagine it's the same thing you do.
18:41No, it isn't that.
18:42I mean, I understand Patty.
18:44Everyone thinks she's a crazy, kooky kid.
18:47But I know the real Patty.
18:49And underneath it all, she's a...
18:51A crazy, kooky kid.
18:53No, she's not, sir.
18:55She's a very sincere, warm girl.
18:59And she deserves everything she wants out of life.
19:02If she wants Sal Mineo,
19:05I'm not going to stand in her way.
19:07Richard, did you come here to fight for her or give her up?
19:11I'm not sure.
19:12I want to do what's best for her.
19:14I think it would help if you made up your mind.
19:17Well, even if I decide to fight for her,
19:19what chance have I got?
19:21I mean, he's got everything,
19:23and I'm just a handsome, intelligent boy.
19:29You really want some advice?
19:31I'd sure appreciate it.
19:33Why don't you just sit tight?
19:35I have a notion the boy next door is going to win the girl.
19:38I hope you're right, sir.
19:40I sure hate unhappy endings.
19:44I'm more nervous than if I were going to a Broadway opening.
19:47Where's Sal Mineo's co-star? Isn't she coming with us?
19:50Oh, she's already at school, Uncle Michael.
19:52Yeah, she's been there since yesterday.
19:54She is so excited about this.
19:56I saw her at the rehearsal. She was very cool.
19:58I wish she'd make up her mind what she wants to be.
20:00She's driving me crazy.
20:01Well, let's go. We don't want to be late.
20:16It's the next one.
20:18The high school teacher starring Sal Mineo and Patty Lane.
20:22She better be good. She's using my name.
20:36Come in.
20:39Mr. Gregory?
20:46Hello, Susan. Sit down.
20:49Sit down.
20:56You're probably sorry to intrude like this.
21:02Yeah, yes.
21:04I'm probably sorry to intrude like this.
21:08Well, now, that's perfectly all right, Susan.
21:10Now, tell me, what can I do for you?
21:20I suppose you have a problem.
21:23I suppose you have a problem,
21:25and you've tried to work it out, but it's too big for you.
21:37Now, does it concern another teacher at this school?
21:43Anything you say.
21:49Yes, well, it's probably Miss Morgan.
21:51Your history teacher.
21:52And you found out that she's in love with your father.
21:57She is. She is!
22:02And so you've come to me because you don't know how to face her
22:05and because you don't know what to do about it.
22:07And it's a very, very big problem.
22:09And you've come to me because I'm gentle and kind and wise.
22:15And now that you have seen me, you know what you can do.
22:18Well, goodbye, Susan, and good luck.
22:23Goodbye, Susan.
22:28Goodbye, Susan.
22:35That girl's got a lot of problems.
22:41She's done it again.
22:49And remember, Ross, when Patty comes down for breakfast,
22:52I don't want any jokes made about last night.
22:55Dad, that's not fair. I've been practicing all morning.
22:58Your father's right.
22:59An experience like last night could be very serious
23:02if it isn't handled carefully.
23:04Do you mean she could have a trauma?
23:06Ross, Patty is very sensitive.
23:08She was counting a lot on that play.
23:11And I think it was particularly upsetting
23:13because it happened in front of Zalminio.
23:15I wonder how he felt.
23:16Well, there's no telling what this could mean to Patty.
23:18Why, she might become hard and bitter.
23:21Or shy and withdrawn.
23:23Gee, I had no idea that this could be so serious.
23:26After all, it was only a high school play.
23:28But that's just the point, son.
23:30It happened in front of her peers.
23:32Patty is going to have to face them today.
23:34Don't you realize that she'd be worried about that?
23:37I hadn't thought about it that way.
23:39I'll be real nice to her.
23:42I doubt if she'll be very upset.
23:45I doubt if she'll be very hungry at nightly,
23:47but perhaps you should insist she eat.
23:49I will.
23:50If she's so nervous and upset, why is she still asleep?
23:53Well, sleep is one of the greatest escapes in the world, son.
23:56It's nature's way of protecting us from what we don't want to face.
24:03Good morning, everybody. Sorry I'm late.
24:05Boy, did I sleep.
24:07Mom, how about some bacon and eggs this morning
24:09with maybe a few pancakes on the side?
24:12You have an appetite?
24:13I'm starved.
24:16How about that crazy play last night?
24:17Did you ever see anything like that?
24:19Well, it wasn't that bad, Patty.
24:22Not bad?
24:24Did you see what Sal Mineo did to me?
24:27No. What did Sal Mineo do to you?
24:30Well, he stole all my lines.
24:33He was afraid I was going to walk off with the show,
24:35so he said everything I was supposed to say.
24:38That's the trouble with actors.
24:40And nature puts the right way out on the floor.
25:10What a crazy pair of their cousins
25:15Identical cousins and you'll find
25:19They laugh alike, they walk alike
25:21At times they even talk alike
25:23You can lose your mind
25:25When cousins are two of a kind
