ДИАННА (ДИНА)ДУРБИН (Deanna Durbin)в фильме ЛЕДИ В ПОЕЗДЕ (LADY ON A TRAIN)- 1945 - ч2.
Nicki Collins (Deanna Durbin) is traveling from San Francisco, California to New York to visit her aunt Martha during the holiday season. She is an avid mystery fan and is shocked when she witnesses an old man being murdered with a crowbar from the window of her train car. Once she gets off the train in New York, she meets Haskell (Edward Everett Horton), one of her father's employees, though she manages to get away from him to go to a police department. She tells an officer there (William Frawley) of what she witnessed, though he doesn't believe her. Discouraged, she goes to see mystery author Wayne Morgan (David Bruce) to help her solve the crime. He gives her the idea of going to the scene of the crime, though she isn't able to find it. Morgan then goes with his snooty girlfriend Joyce (Patricia Morison) to a newsreel theater, where Nicki bothers him. At the theater, Nicki sees a newsreel about the death of shipping magnate Josiah Waring (Thurston Hall). She realizes that that was the man she saw killed, though he supposedly fell to his death off a stepladder while decorating his Christmas tree. Nicki goes to the Waring family mansion on Long Island, where she meets Arnold Waring (Dan Duryea), Josiah's nephew. He mistakes her for Margo Martin, his grandfather's mistress, a singer at the Circus Club, which Josiah ran. She plays along with the ruse to get inside. The family has gathered at the mansion for the reading of the will, and Josiah's sister Charlotte (Elizabeth Patterson) is shocked when she hears that everything has been left to Margo. Unbeknownst to the family, the Circus club manager, Saunders (George Coulouris) and his assistant Danny (Allen Jenkins) are eavesdropping outside. Nicki manages to sneak upstairs to Josiah's bedroom. Danny follows her and she hides from him. He looks around the room and leaves. Nicki notices a chain swinging from a compartment in the wall, and pulls on it. A pair of bloody bedroom slippers, the same kind Josiah was wearing when Nicki witnessed his murder, fall out and make a crashing noise. Knowing that they are evidence, she throws the slippers out the window and on top of Arnold's car. Saunders then finds her in the room and asks for the slippers but she yells before he can do anything to her. Afterwards, she takes a ride with Arnold back to the city and smuggles the slippers from the roof of his car, inside. Saunders and Danny see her do this, and so Danny follows them in order to get them back.
