But Thorin - who criticized the presence of an "armed host" of Elves - refused to honor the just bargain that had been fairly agreed upon ("Why should I honor such terms?").Bates"" teenaged daughter Liza (Barbara Merrill, Bette Davis"" own daughter from her third marriage) was curled up on the sofa watchingSadie McKee (1933)on elevision - an excerpt of a kissing scene between ""Blanche Hudson"" (Joan Crawford as working girl Sadie McKee Brennan) and Gene Raymond (as boyfriend Tommy Wallace)." After seizing a taxi for police business, they hurriedly drove the distance by short-cutting through Central Park - literally - to avoid the busy traffic.
