Noelle.

Costa.

How are you?

I'm all right.

I have decisions to make.

But I need certain facts.

Certain assurances
from you about...

about the death of Catherine.

Catherine.
Lovely Catherine.

Noelle...

did you kill Catherine?

Did you kill her?

Who is to say?

Noelle.

Innocent or guilty?

Innocent, Costa.

Innocent.

Noelle!

Noelle!

- Yes, Papa?
- Hurry, I'm waiting

Coming, Papa

- Bye, Mama
- Goodbye, Noelle

It's a world of riches
And it's a world where you belong

You will see people
and things...

Oh, no

- What is it?
- Oh, Papa, I'm so nervous

What is there to be nervous about?

Did I not buy you a new blouse.

To look beautiful?

Keep in your head
what I've always told you

You are above the others

You are a princess

Yes, I am a princess

Good, The world is yours

Let the others be nervous, I know better
than anyone else what you have in you, Noelle

- You will go to the top
- Papa, I do love you

Of course

Remember, Lanchon has
a very high class clientele

Yes, But I know nothing
about selling dresses

Lanchon will teach you

Be courteous and give
the correct change

"Monsieur, madame"... Here it is

The pay, in the beginning,
will be modest

But, if you look upon this
as an apprenticeship.

You will find it
not altogether unpleasant

Then I have the position?

- You do
- Oh, Papa!

I told you

I'll get your bag

Here's your room, Be done in five minutes,
and I shall see you in the kitchen

Noelle, you’re better than you think

And to show you the esteem
in which I hold you.

You may have as a gift.

Any dress from that
new shipment from Paris

- Really?
- Yes

Oh! I know exactly the one I want
Where is it?

- Here, This one
- Yeah

Certainly

Oh, you're beautiful, Noelle

Beautiful

Listen to me

It will be good for you

- It will be very good
- No!

Papa, you sold me to him?

No, that's not right

We all of us profited

You got a man who could help you

He got a girl
who could pleasure him

I received a small amount of money

It afforded me that radio.

A new jacket, a cycle, some wine

A few things to comfort me.

And your mother
against whatever comes

Noelle, war is coming

You have beauty

It's your only weapon of survival

Use it

Let the hand under your dress,
wear gold.

And you'll be that much
ahead of the game

I'm sorry for you, Papa

You'll be sorry for me only
if you end up with nothing

End up on a yacht.

In a villa

Rejoice for me, Noelle

Go back to Lanchon

Keep in your head what I've always told you

You are above the others

You are a princess

Noelle

One day I really got to thinking

"Gee, F, D, R, Needs my help, Well, I could help him
I could go to Washington"

But getting here was so expensive
I spent all my money

Living here's even more expensive,
and I don't have any friends or relatives here, so.

Here I am, living in a room at the "Y"
that'd turn a person into an atheist

It's 50 cents a day,
and the john's in Philadelphia

Excuse me, but just what kind of job
are you applying for?

Secretarial, With Fraser & Associates
It's a very select P, R, Firm

- Do you think I should wear my gloves or carry them?
- You seem somewhat, uh, nervous

Well, I can't type, I can't take dictation,
and I can't handle a switchboard.

And
If the meter goes to a dollar I can't pay you

Why should I be nervous?

I think you should be nervous

That's the way I see it

Well

Thank you

Is he interviewing secretaries
today or isn't he?

Look, how much longer
do we have to wait?

Mr., Burroughs has been delayed
Just sit down, He'll get to it

Yes

Good morning, My name is Cathy A...

Yes, Mr., Fraser

Susie, get me Life magazine,
March 13 this year, I need it fast

- I'm C...
- But, Mr., Fraser, that's a back issue

However, I'll get a messenger
over to the Time Life bureau

- They may have to get it from New York
- Right away, Susie

Jesus

Constantin, if you are correct in your
assumption that a war is coming, then l...

I am correct
Therefore, it is not an assumption

And it will be a war
that will engulf us all

My beloved Greece too

- Unendurable
- Well, then you're gonna have to
sit it out in Switzerland

They're bound to keep out of it

- You read my mind
- In any case, if you do decide.

To lend your tanker fleet
either to France or to England...

Bill, please
I'm lending my fleet for the duration

No fee, no payment
for ships destroyed

Good, Good, That's good, Constantin,
because I can gua...

I can really guarantee it'd get you
all the headlines you want

I deserve it, and it will be
a pleasant revenge

Revenge?

Yes
Against my enemies.

Who say I'm a selfish bastard

Okay, Come in

March 13 issue of Life, Mr., Fraser

Oh, That's good, Good
Thank you, Susie

the big fashion houses

How much does it cost
to sit on your sofa?

- I would like to avoid calling the police
- The police?

- But call them, I've done nothing

And then into the hotel
And then that man, And then you

French person

Flight Lieutenant Larry Douglas,
Royal Connecticut Air Force, How do you do?

Uh, we're charmed
but, uh, still short of funds

Okay, sport, Here

- Get yourself a fresh horse
- Hey, Thanks, buddy

Auf Wiedersehen, Noelle

So you lied to me
You have money

Oh, I always lie
Uh, the truth makes me nervous

Noelle
It's a very pretty name

Like, uh, Christmas, yes?

And, of course,
you have no place to stay

- Mmm
- Well, I have a place

Does that sound awful to you?

I don't know

I think. Maybe

Well, it's yours
Listen, I'll sleep in the ashtray

You'll be perfectly safe with me

It's up to you

Home sweet home

Cleaning lady comes in
every other day and works miracles

You see? She cleaned the ashtray

Well, this is the bed,
as you can see

This is a chair
Another chair

Here we have the window

This is the floor
Uh, this is the ceiling

The walls
The doors

This is a rug

Another window

And this is the boy.

And that's the girl

How will it all end?

The ashtray's a little small
My feet'll hang over the side, but I can manage

Or if you're feeling charitable,
we could share the bed

I'm afraid, Noelle, it's up to you

Yeah, We had a place in Montauk
That's the end of Long Island

When I was a kid, I used to watch the gulls...

Flying through the air
over the beach

Boy, I would have given my soul
to have been up there with 'em

Yeah, I knew I wanted to be a flier,
I think, before I could walk

Then when I was nine.

An old friend of the family
took me up for a ride in a biplane

Had my first flying lesson
when I was 14

Oh, God

There's nowhere like Paris

Hey, What is it?

- It's our last day together
- I know, Isn't that great?

- Great?
- Yeah

I mean... You see, the great thing about
the last day is that it also means the last night

And, Noelle, we will have a last night
to end all last nights, my dear

- What will it be?
- Well, I see it as something simple

A small place
Quiet, Inexpensive

Larry, there are no prices

The lady would like
the pheasant under glass.

And I would like the duck
a la Montmorency

And, uh, let me know as soon
as I hit a dollar, will ya?

Twenty million

No, Constantin
Absolutely not

Now, if you were to say 30...

So you want 30 million francs.

For which I get complete control

Mm-hmm, Agreed

Who is that man?

Come on

- They're playing our song
- What is our song?

Whatever it is they're playing

Now, the rent is paid for six months, so don't
let Madame Rouselleau try to outfox you

I left the receipt in the top drawer
in your underwear

And I left all sorts of money

I will never see you again

Y... You're wrong, I will be back
I promise, I swear

You won't

Uh, three weeks, November 15

Say, uh, 700?

We'll meet at Victor's,
our regular place

And I promise I will
fly very carefully

I'll put my hand out when I turn,
and I won't run a single red light

You always kid me so
Don't leave me

You know, I think what you should do,
since you have so much money...

- No
- Is buy a wedding dress

Yes, A wedding dress

No sense in getting married
without a wedding dress

Hey, I don't want to miss my flight

Remember

November 15, 700, Victor's

I love you, Noelle

I'll be back
You can bet on it

You love me?

- Yes
- Well, say so

I love you

I expect my models
to be very punctual at all times.

And to work late
every other Saturday

Right, Now then.

The salary is 200 francs

Is that satisfactory?

- Oh, yes, madame
- Any question?

- No, no, No, madame
- Good

Now you go with Marie,
and she'll see to your fitting

- This way, my dear
- Thank you, madame

Thank you, madame

You blew the Winchell item, you offended the
French consul, you stiffed Senator Martin's wife.

- And you hung up on the president of the United States
- I can explain

- I was very tired
- On the other hand, you got two
columns in Time magazine.

For Charlie McVicker, and you got Lowell Thomas
to mention Alben Barkley on the air

That's good, And you got the secretary of
agriculture to reconsider the Harrison Report

That's very good
And you got... God knows how...

Joe Penner's duck on the front page
of the Washington Post

- Now, I don't know whether to fire you or give you a raise
- It's a problem, isn't it?

You screw up the most
fundamental assignments, Cathy.

Yet you pull off
the most impossible

Well, l... What the hell is it?

- Maybe I'm working too hard
- Yeah

Who sent you here?
Can't be my ex-wife, She's in Bermuda

I don't understand
why you're so upset

Yes, I know you don't understand
You've been here, what...

- Six weeks
- Six weeks, In six weeks.

You've taken the most respected
publicity firm in Washington.

- And you turned it into a crapshoot
- Hasn't been easy

All right, I'm taking you
off all existing accounts.

And I'm putting you exclusively
on prospective accounts

- Is that a promotion or a demotion?
- I have no idea

Well, do I get a raise?

No, but you don't get fired

Now get out of here

And then I think it important
to play down the industrial activity.

And to promote an image
of a vital commodity crossing a continent.

To service vital American needs

Right

Uh, you see that gets ready
for presentation first thing in the morning?

- Mm-hmm
- Oh, Jesus

It's after midnight, I had no idea
I'm sorry, Cathy

It's no problem
I enjoyed it

It's kind of glamorous
Washington at night

Last... minute nuttiness and... and all of that

It's kind of fun

I think I'll give you a present

Oh, God, I want one

How would a salary of, uh, 40 a week strike you?

Right through the heart

- Hmm, Well, you're worth more
- I know

Come on
I'll take you home

You better

- Thank you
- Good night, kid, Sleep tight

Night

Shit

- Wa... Waiter
- Mademoiselle

Please, if this gentleman
should arrive and ask for this lady.

- Have him telephone this number
- Yes, Of course

Thank you

- Good night
- Good night

He must be dead

I know it

He has been killed, and...

and now he's dead

It's over!
It's over!

- Now, child...
- No! Don't touch me!

Not even your wonderful aviator
can keep a promise like that

It's impossible
Three weeks to the day? To the hour?

No! You don't understand

He would have been here, Even if he was
wounded, he would have been here

- Noelle, listen
- Leave me...

- Noelle!
- No!

Listen!

Noelle, you will
stay here with me tonight

Do you hear?
Do you hear me?

- Yes
- You will stay here and stop acting like a child

Hmm?

Now, tomorrow is
a very important day for us

We're showing a new collection.

And many people will be here

Hmm?

Noelle, he will be back
He will

You'll see

He will be back

Of course he'll be back

He'll be back

You'll see

Thank you, Noelle

And Janice is wearing
a gray print chiffon dress.

Over a peach satin slip

That’s very lovely
Thank you

There you are
Just step out of it

I just wish I had my mirror, Where is my mirror?

- Did you misplace it?
- I don’t know, Oh, here it is

Mademoiselle

You are a very pretty girl

- Thank you, monsieur
- What is your name?

- Noelle Page
- Noelle

And, uh, very graceful

Here's my card

I am Henri Correger,
casting director for Gaumont film studios

If you should become interested
in film work, please call me

Thank you, Monsieur Correger

I am sure I can
find something for you

- Mademoiselle
- Did you misplace them?

I don’t know, L... I looked all over

I wonder, Oh, Here they are
Under the little table

Are you sure they are yours?

Come on, girls
Madame Orsay's gonna be here any minute

Hurry up, Come on

- Elizabeth, put this black dress on
- Yes, yes

- Madame
- Hurry up, Oh, my God

Oh, my God, Marie...
Let me have the salt, Marie, There, there

- Did the doctor tell you?
- Oh, yes, he did

Now I suppose I shall have to add
a maternity line to the collection, huh?

I will model very hard for you.

Right up until the very end

Madame Rose, I'm so lucky
to have a friend like you

I'm so happy

I'm going to have his baby

Now I know.

He will come back

I got the fare
You get the drinks, huh?

Larry!

- Oh
- What is it?

- I'm sorry
- Don't be sorry, Look here

I am sorry

- Steve?
- Yes

I'm Noelle
You remember?

Oh, sure, Of course

You were with B... Brigitte,
and I was with Larry

Oh, yeah

I haven't heard from him in so long

- Don't you remember me?
- Sure, You were with Larry

- Yes, And you were with Brigitte
- Well, where is he?

Listen, sweetheart
I hate to be the one to tell you, but, um.

You're gonna have to be a big girl

Larry's been sent home
to train American pilots

And just in time too, 'cause, um.

He's left some little English girl
quite pregnant

You know what, Noelle?
You're lucky to be rid of him

I mean, he's already shot down more girls
than he's ever gonna shoot down Jerries

If his accomplishments in bed counted
militarily, he'd be a bloody ace by now

And I'm not even
counting the probables

Come on, Noelle
Don't be too upset

Hey, what are you doing tonight?
We're gonna have a party

Boozie Bennington's in town
You'd love him

Oh, hey!

Oh

Remember
Drink as much liquid as you can

I'll come back again tomorrow, Hmm?

- Madame
- Yes, I'll see you out

Be sure she takes
her medicine, will you?

- How is she, Doctor, really?
- Better, Every day

- Good day, madame
- Good day, Doctor, and thank you

I got your message, I brought you
the things you asked for from the shop

Thank you

So.

You killed his baby.

And you almost
killed yourself in the process

Are you satisfied, Noelle?

Well, what is past is past

Soon, you will be well enough
to come back to the shop.

And we'll start
a whole new collection

Mmm, no, It's over

Oh, You have something else?

You have been very good to me

I'll never forget your friendship

Noelle.

My shop will always be there

And, you know, it is not
the end of the world

Gaumont film studio?

I'd like to speak with
Monsieur Correger, please

He's a casting director

Thank you

Hello, Monsieur Correger?

This is Noelle Page
I'm the model at Madame Rose's

Do you remember me?

Oh, good

Yes, I know

That's very fine

The Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France

June 1940 sees Nazi troops
make an arrogant entry into Paris

The French people shed tears
at a sight that emphasizes.

The full depths of humiliation
to which their country has fallen

In the armistice train
at Compiegne.

Germany imposes brutal
terms of surrender

What a sight for Hitler and Goring

How the Nazi fuhrer gloats

What future conquests
are in his mind?

The world waits as Germany prepares
to throw itself on the tiny British Isles

Can they resist the might...

Mr., Fraser, could you sign this, please?

- Yeah, What'd I miss?
- The fall of Paris

London's next,
and do you know what we're doing?

It says here that the United States Army
still has a cavalry that's men on horses

It'd be great if we were
fighting Geronimo

So, what's up, boss?

- I've gotta go to England
- Can I go?

- No, You're going to Hollywood
- Gone with the Wind, I got the part

Oh, no, Wait a minute
Vivien Leigh got that part

Why am I going to Hollywood?

Because they've asked our office
to supervise an army recruiting film

Now, Brandon could do it,
except he's in New York

Dan Maloney could do it, except he's in Boston
You could do it

- So, you're on a flight to Los Angeles
- I can't even load a Brownie

Sorry, No problem
There'll be a director for you, There'll be a crew

They'll even have
actors for you because.

The army doesn't feel that, uh, real soldiers
are convincing enough to play real soldiers

Cathy.

I'm gonna make you an associate

Oh, Bill!
Thank you

You better go and pack

Good luck on your trip

Thanks, You too

Ready?

- Miss Alexander?
- Never heard of her

- Uh, I'm O'Brien, I'm your director
- I'm Cathy, I'm leaving

It's not as bad as it looks
The script's written, The set's ready

You think I can
bluff my way through?

That's what all
the great producers do

- Want to take a look?
- Sure

Uh, this is where we shoot
the recruiting pitch

And, uh... Uh, city hall

Uh, stop me if I'm wrong, but some of
these men don't have uniforms on

Well, that's because
they're not supposed to until tomorrow

- Today we're shooting them as civilians
- Ah

- Well, then what about these air corpsmen?
- They're wrong

The studio is shooting
three different war films simultaneously.

So a lot of these guys
end up on the wrong set

Excuse me, Uh, if I could have your...
Quiet, please

Uh, Eddy, could you get everybody down here,
and could you just quiet down?

Please, Help us out

Come on, fellas
Give us a break, okay?

Thank you, Uh...

This is Miss Alexander

She's going to be in charge

Miss Alexander

All right now
Uh, you're all familiar with the script

- No
- Never heard of it

- How many speaking parts are in this movie?
- None, It's all voice... over

Right, Okay
Uh, you're all familiar with the fact that.

There are no speaking parts
in this movie

- Mm-hmm
- Uh, so.

If you would just take direction
from Mr., O'Brien

Also, uh, some of you
are not on the right set

Uh, you air corpsmen
are not supposed to be here

- Well, we were...
- Now...

We were told to report
to Soundstage 13

Yes, but you're not supposed to be
in uniform until tomorrow

And then you're supposed
to be enlisted men, not officers

But I like being an officer

Right, You've been in the army for one day,
and they make you a captain in the air corps

Well, don't you think
I look good as a captain?

First lieutenant?

Second lieutenant?
Third lieutenant?

Look, Uh, just go back
to Wardrobe and get rid of it

While you're at it,
get rid of those medals and the ribbons too

I thought these would give
the film a little color

We're not at war, You would
have had to have won them in a carnival

Well, maybe I won 'em
in the R, A, F.

And then got transferred
to the U, S, Air Corps

Look, If you want to
stay on this film.

Then get rid of the uniform,
the medals and the attitude

And that goes for the rest
of you Rickenbackers

O'Brien, take over

All right, Eddy,
I'd like to see you, Bruce...

- You mind if I join you?
- Yes, actually, l...

What do you want?

Do you really want to know?

- I've just about had...
- I just thought I'd ask you.

If you thought this
was more convincing

Well, I'm sure that those girls thought it was
more convincing, but you really want my opinion?

I think you're a phony

- Have I done something to offend you?
- Everything you do offends me

Look, I just don't like your type

- What's my type?
- You're a fake

Well, you enjoy wearing
a uniform on a film set.

And... and strutting around girls,
but have you ever thought of enlisting?

Ooh, and get shot at someday maybe?
Ooh, that's for suckers

- This is much more fun
- Aren't you eligible for the draft?

Well, I suppose
technically I'm eligible.

But, uh, I have a friend,
and he knows a guy in Washington.

And I don't think
they'll ever get me

I think you are contemptible!

- Why?
- If I have to explain why to you,
you would never understand

Well, how about trying at dinner tonight?
At your place? Do you cook?

Oh, look, Just don't even bother
coming back to the set

I'll tell O'Brien to just write you
a check for this morning

- What's your name?
- Douglas, Larry Douglas

Do you think you can remember that?

I'm gonna do
my level best to forget it

Sensational

- Miss Alexander
- Yeah

Flowers for ya

- Oh, Bill
- Yes, ma'am, There is a bill

Fifteen dollars, C, O, D

Who are they from?

"From Eddie and the rest of
the Rickenbackers"

- Welcome back
- Thank you

- How was Hollywood?
- No comment

I had Annie pile up all your mail,
and those are your calls

Oh, Mr., Fraser said would you meet him
for lunch at the Jefferson Club at 100

Right, What is this?

Oh, that's Mr., Douglas, He called
three times yesterday and twice this morning

He sounds dishy
Is he in the movie business?

No, he's in the monkey business
Look, if this guy calls again...

Yes?

If he calls again, I'll talk to him
And if he doesn't, I won't

- Good day, Miss Alexander
- Good day

Mr., Fraser is waiting for you

Hey, Cathy

- Hello
- Cathy Alexander, this is Captain Larry Douglas

He'll be heading up
a recruiting program in Washington.

And the, uh, War Department's
assigned him to us for publicity

Miss Alexander

Bill has been telling me all about you

Uh, a lot of medals
you have there, Captain

Oh, these?
Uh, I won these at a carnival

Carnival?
I don't think so

Captain Douglas was with the R, A, F
He has six German aircraft to his credit

Oh

- Oh
- Would it be all right if we sat down?

Oh, yeah, We were just
starting to order drinks, Cathy

- What would you like?
- Martini, please, Double, please

Uh, double martini, please

Captain Douglas was in Los Angeles
about the same time you were, Cathy

I'm surprised
you didn’t run into him

- Oh, uh...
- Well, you've seen one uniform,
you've seen 'em all

Ah, listen
Will you two excuse me?

There's Senator Bert Elson, and he's, uh...
he's been avoiding me for two weeks

Be right back

Thank you for not
blowing the whistle on me

How could you know when you were being
so rotten to me that I'd turn out to be a client?

- Me rotten to you? What are...
- There's a price you have to pay for my silence

Dinner at a restaurant
of your choice tonight

Are my medals cutting
into your boobs?

Shakespeare or Marlowe?

Cathy, you have to know
how I feel about you.

Especially when we dance
so goddamn close

Actually, maybe
we should just sit down

Excuse me

I don't know why you're so annoyed

That's one of the nicest compliments
a man can pay a woman

Strange, but I feel you're the only man
that can come up with it any time day or night

- Only with you
- Oh, yeah

What are you packing' there,
a Louisville Slugger?

Okay, Cathy, You want to do funny lines?
I'll do funny lines with you

Great, But look, It's between those lines
where people like you and I live

I mean, for Christ's sake, Cathy
The world is gonna explode in maybe 10 minutes

Now, what are we doing,
sitting here talking.

And holding hands
and giving each other the hurts?

Now, do you have
an intelligent answer to that question?

Larry, I look at you, and I see your medals,
and I know what you got them for

This one is, uh, Debbie in
Detroit and, uh, Fifi in Paris

Uh, Consuela in Madrid
and, um, Lulu in London

And I guess I just don't want to be
another moose head on your wall, okay?

Because.

In spite of.

All the smart talk.

I guess I'm just
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

I'm moral.

I'm silly.

And I'm scared

So, if you don't love me, Larry.

Don't lay me

It's incredible
The first girl I was ever really honest with.

- And she turns out to be Heidi of the mountains
- Ah...

- Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
- Cathy.

Never before in
my very faithless life.

Have I ever been so
out of my mind in love

Cathy, I love you
I really do

Well, you can ask anyone
You, Sir

- Uh, may I have a moment of your time?
- Yeah

Would you please tell this girl
how much I love her?

- He loves you very much
- Thank you, sir, and God bless you

- You can go now, sir, Thank you
- Yeah

Oh, I see you're slumming it

Now, don't get the wrong impression
It belongs to my uncle

- He's with the State Department
- Ah

He's renting it to me

He just married into the money

- May I?
- No

Well, uh, let me show you around

- This, of course, is the living room
- Mm-hmm

Here we have the bar

And this is the dining room

And over here.

- Through this door, is the kitchen
- Ah

All the modern conveniences

- Uh, and here is the, uh, terrace
- Mm-hmm

And, uh, over here, we...

Let me guess

- The bedroom
- The bedroom

This, of course, is the bed,
as you can see

Mm-hmm

And this is the boy

And there is the girl

How will it all turn out?

Shouldn't there be applause
or something in here?

Later

I guess it's time
to retire the trophy, huh?

Immediately

God knows you’re fantastic, Noelle

Thank you, monsieur

The most sensational woman
to hit the boudoir since Madame Du Barry

Oh la la la la

Poor Correger

A simple casting director

He took you in, never realizing
it was you who were taking him in

Mm-hmm

Noelle, I've put you
in two of my films

Modest parts, but a beginning, no?

And have I not shown you
my appreciation?

You have
But now you're leaving me

Because you're an actor who's no longer
making films, Not because I don't love you

- Would you, darling?
- Well, every actor goes through dull periods

War hasn't helped

But I'll make other films

Oh, I'm sure you will, but, uh.

I am impatient

I will send for my things

Do you know where you're going?

I have an idea,
but I cannot say for certain

Bye... bye, Philippe

I love you

Don't send anyone
for your belongings!

Send only a garbage truck!

Sleep with the Germans, Noelle!

Sleep with Hitler!

He’ll make you a star! He’ll give you Belgium!

With your bedroom talent,
he might even give you France!

Mademoiselle Page,
how nice to see you again

Uh, thank you, Miss Nelson

I think that finally
I have, uh, news for you

I'm most anxious to hear

As you know,
with the Americans now in the war.

It is, uh, no small matter to get
such information into occupied France

However, we Swedes,
as neutrals, have, uh...

As to the information
you requested.

On your fiancé, Captain Douglas.

He is with
the United States Air Corps in the Pacific.

14th Fighter Group, 48th Squadron

And he's been credited with having downed
several Japanese aircraft

Also.

In December...

Go on

Mademoiselle.

In December of 1941,

Captain Douglas.

Married a, uh.

Catherine Alexander.

A public relations specialist
in Washington, D, C

May I assume that you no longer
wish for me to pursue the matter further?

You may assume no such thing

Captain Douglas will always
be a good friend and...

and a man I will continue
to have an honest affection for

Please, continue to tell me
of his whereabouts and welfare

As you wish, mademoiselle

Monsieur, I ask you
to please listen to what I say.

Before you get angry
at my impertinence

I have had a hard life
and have come a long way to find you

You are the only one who can help me,
and I hope that you will

Go on

My brother is in the army

On the eve of battle, he deserted

Monsieur, it could not have been
any other way, He's only 15

The emperor is wrong
to have conscripted boys so young

It is to his discredit
that he has done so

And what about Janine's speech, page 97?
Do you know that?

Yes

I'm not proud of the way
I've lived my life.

But neither will I ask you...
any of you...

to understand why
I chose to do it that way

Believe only that
in the name of love...

"In the name of love, I lived"

In the name of love, I lived.

And in the name of love, I died

- Who gave you the script?
- Philippe Sorel, I read with him

- Philippe is wrong for the film
- But I am not

I know you're looking for someone new
to play Janine of the Flowers

I'm very new
I've not said 12 words on camera

- How encouraging
- Oh, yes, but, uh...

The way you surprised me... uh, it made me
most receptive to your reading, you know

And, uh, also, it's not easy to do
what you are doing without being vulgar

You have style and courage

Philippe said that
you're always here at noon, That's all

But, um, Philippe and you...
You are what?

- Friends
- Friends

Then we shall be friends
What's your name?

- Noelle Page
- Noelle Page, Noelle Page

I would like to not have it changed

There is someone I would
have know about me.

When I become a star

"Become a star"

Noelle, you do have style

Now, we must see if
you also have talent

Oh

You make love like a star
Perhaps you'll be a star

I want you to make me a star

Oh, that I can't do

But what I can do
is to make you an actress.

Providing, of course,
you have some ability.

Besides this, um, inspiring
ad... lib performance

I want the part of Janine

Then you have to work for it

Well, this is a fine audition

You... You... You have the instinct.

For knowing exactly.

How this part should be played

You are three lessons
to the good and.

Tomorrow we begin your work.

If I'm still alive

After the war ended in Europe.

We established direct communications
with the United States

But, uh, Lieutenant Colonel Douglas has been
in the Pacific and is not so easy to track

The war in the Pacific has been over
for two months, Monsieur Barbet

The lines must be open
there too by now

I have connections throughout the Western
world, mademoiselle, But, uh, Japan...

You are paid to find him

You're paid well

Find him

I'm sure I will.
Eventually

Find him now

Where could he be?
Oh, Bill, don’t give me that

He must've landed in San Francisco
over a hundred hours ago

No, he did not call, Nobody has called,
and that was over six hours ago

Look, Bill, will you please be a friend
and find him? Do anything

Run an ad, call the cops, send out the militia...

- Hi
- Hi

Uh, I'm your new roommate

The dean of women sent me over
My name's Larry

Hi, I'm Cathy

Uh, let me show you around

Um, this is the living room

This is the bar

And this is the chair

This is the bedroom

This is the girl

That's the boy

Oh!

Wheat speculators,
fortunes made in soybeans

Boy, it sure looks like
a whole bunch of people got rich during the war

Honey, you came back
A lot of other men didn't

Yeah

You're right

So, what are we gonna do
now that you're back.

And there's no room for you
on Mount Rushmore?

Well, I was kind of thinking
I'd play shortstop for the Yankees

That's a very good idea
I could meet you in the locker room.

And we can fool around

You realize the only thing I know how to do
is fly, and a duck can do that

What about the commercial airlines?

What about 'em?
There's seven of them.

And 14,000 decommissioned pilots

Well, how about United?

I mean, how about
a 200 p, M, Appointment with the guy.

That heads up the whole damn thing?

- Could that be done?
- From Bill Fraser, one phone call

Yeah

I'll call him

He completed the United Airlines
training program.

Despite some disciplinary problems

For some months, it went well.

Until the colonel hit a superior officer
and was summarily discharged

He applied for positions at Pan American,
T, W, A, And American.

And was rejected

He is having difficulty
adjusting to civilian life

What about his personal life?

There is friction in his marriage

During the war,
with the colonel away.

Like many wives of servicemen.

Madame Douglas manifested
a small drinking problem.

Which has, as a result
of that friction.

Now recurred to some slight degree

And, uh...

That is all

Thank you

Can you tell me how long you wish me
to continue with this investigation?

Until I tell you otherwise

You know how much
I hate things like this

- Why do you insist that I attend?
- My dear, I do not insist

- Your host insists
- I've never met the man

How does he come to have
such a power over me?

Constantin Demeris is not
the kind of man to whom people say no

Though you seem to say it
to him with some frequency

I still don't understand why he wants me
to attend his foolish dinner

Because he's a king,
and you are the queen

It is perfectly normal

Excuse me

- Constantin
- Armand

May I introduce Mademoiselle Noelle Page
Constantin Demeris

Good evening, I am so pleased
that you were able to come here tonight

How could I ignore
such a gracious invitation?

Well, you ignored two others

Did I? My

And what would have happened
if I ignored this one?

It would have been the last one

Excuse me

My family was very poor

My father was a stevedore

There were 14 children.

And we had to fight
for our bread at the table

I was lucky
I was born with a talent for mathematics

I learned to quickly estimate
the odds against me

And then, I beat them

Some people encouraged me
along the way

Others snubbed or cheated me

But in my mind, in my heart.

There is an indelible record
of each transaction

We all play God, but some of us.

Are better equipped
for the role than others

You see, where most men go unpunished
for the evil they do.

I'm in position to make them pay

Call it justice, call it vengeance...
It's all the same

Nor do I believe
that it should be as it is in the Bible

"An eye for an eye
and a tooth for a tooth".

But rather,
"A head for an eye and a heart for a tooth"

A simple religion

But once people know
that I practice it devoutly.

They stay away from my eyes
and far away from my teeth

You understand they’re the biggest
in the East, and they’re growing

They'll be national in a year or two,
no question about that

What I'm trying to say, Larry,
is if you pilot for them today.

You can be an executive
for them tomorrow

I don't fly freight, Bill
Look, I don't fly oranges and shoes.

In planes that went out
with Wiley Post

- What else you got?
- I got nothing

It's the last plane flying

The war is over, ace
There'll be no more medals, no more dogfights

Errol Flynn, The Dawn Patrol...
They're grounded

Look, you wanna go down
in a roar of self-pity, you go ahead

It's all right
It's all right with me

You might give some thought
to what all this is doing to Cathy

Yeah, I wondered when
we'd get around to Cathy

Something on your mind, say it

Well, you had four years with her

I'm getting my ass shot at, and you're
escorting my wife all over Washington

Let me tell you something, friend
Long before you came along.

I decided not to
inflict myself on Cathy

I'm 25 years older, I figured she didn't need that
Let me tell you something else

You continue to wait around
for World War IIl.

And I'll do every goddamn thing
I can to get her to leave ya.

Before you get her pregnant like you did
that English girl and God knows how many others

- What'd you do, run a check on me?
- "Run a check"

Didn't need to run a check on you
It was in your record

The air corps turned it over to me
and they said, "Make a hero out of this guy".

Because there was
a lack of heroes at the time

Well, there ain't no lack of heroes now,
buddy boy, They're a dime a dozen

You fly the shoes
and oranges, Larry.

Or you go down in a pile of shit

Peterson Air Freight,
a small independent.

Operating between New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington

Dun and Bradstreet reports show
that they are capitalized at one million dollars

Monsieur Barbet, I now know
all about the company

Could you tell me
about Monsieur Douglas?

He is doing well

He is there three weeks on the job

Monsieur Barbet,
I would like Monsieur Douglas out

Well, perhaps you would

But right now, he is very much in

Get him out

And how do you propose I do that?

The quickest way... money

Money

Ah, yes
Money would do it

But, uh.

We must reach across the Atlantic

There will be many
upturned palms along the way

Even a cinema star like yourself
does not have that kind of money

Rehearsal, Mademoiselle Page

Then I will have it

The Greeks have one word for all this... Demeris

- He doesn't own it all, Armand
- No, no

But he owns the people who own it

And now, it seems he will own you

- You think that?
- And you do too

He again sends you two invitations,
which again you turn down

And still, here we are

He and I have, uh, an understanding

He always sends three

Am I going to lose you, Noelle?

- Would that bother you?
- No!

Well, let's just say that, uh,
I wouldn't be surprised

As you wish

Welcome, Allow me to show you
to your rooms, please

Paul, take Monsieur Gautier
to his apartment, please

Madame

This way

Here we are, Miss Page

I hope that you will be comfortable

Oh, I think I will be

- Mr., Demeris will be delighted that you are here
- Thank you

Miss Page

- Mademoiselle?
- Yes, madame?

Return this to Mr., Demeris

Again, you waited
for the third invitation

And again, it came
Three in one day

Why waste the time? Hmm?
In any case, you are here

Yes

You are trifling with me

Yes

Now

What do you mean,
you have to let me go?

I have flown more crap for you
through the worst weather...

Listen, I'm 10 times more pilot
than you pay me!

Sorry, Larry
My brother in-law wants in, and...

- Your brother in-law?
- Yeah, he's been pumping money into this outfit all along

Without him,
I'd have had to close down

- I thought the banks were behind you
- I misrepresented that to you.

Because I wanted you for a pilot

Pete, I need the job

Look, if I can't get some ownership now,
all right, I'll stay on as a pilot

Larry, I'm sorry
My brother in-law...

To hell with your brother in-law!

If he's got so much money, let him buy into
Pan Am, They deserve each other

- Larry, I have to go
- Where?

You haven't left this field since I've known you
Where the hell you going?

Nowhere, I just don't like
to see a man beg

Beg?
Why, you son of a bitch!

Take your company and fly it up your ass
That's where it came from anyway

Nowhere

He can find employment nowhere?

Nowhere in the air, mademoiselle

You have bought the air

But, uh, you have not
bought the ground

If Monsieur Douglas were to
settle for work on the ground.

Not even Monsieur Demeris's
money would...

I don't remember asking you
to do an investigation on me, monsieur

No disrespect, mademoiselle.

But you are in all the papers

A home in Athens, in Paris.

A villa here, a chateau there.

And, uh, off the coast of Greece
a private island, no?

Is it really your opinion
that Monsieur Douglas.

Cannot obtain a flying job
anywhere in the United States?

As a stunt pilot, perhaps.

In a carnival

I see

I think this will suffice
as termination of our arrangement

But, mademoiselle.

You leave me with, uh,
as we say, uh.

The other shoe yet to fall

May I advise you that.

Should you make any effort
at finding out for profit.

Just when and where
that shoe does fall.

You might just find that shoe.
In your mouth

Monsieur Demeris is
a very powerful man

Say no more

The account is closed

- Welcome back, Miss Page
- Spyros, where is Mr., Demeris?

He is on the lower terrace
He asked not to be disturbed

Ah, Noelle

Forgive me, Costa
I interrupted

- I'm sorry
- What is it?

I had a terrible flight
back from Paris.

Not only because they were rude,
but I had to change planes twice to get here

It's a private airfield, Noelle
Of course you have to transfer

I could not send you my plane to Paris
I had business in Geneva

It's so dreadfully inconvenient

You will have your own plane

- No
- Yes, I was going to give it to you for your birthday

Oh, thank you, Costa!

Forgive me, Noelle,
but I should like to concentrate on this

What kind of plane will it be?

Oh, it will have wings.

Engines, and hopefully a pilot

But you always hire bad-tempered Greeks as pilots

I know
You've told me

I've already fired three...
three of them...

for discourtesies shown you

It will be your plane
You pick the pilot

But Metaxas will be his copilot

- Is that all?
- It's very complicated

Where do I begin...
How do I go about it?

- I'll speak to Spyros
- Oh, yes, of course

Spyros will know

Well, Larry, all I did was submit
the list of names

They're the ones that picked you
You shouldn't be surprised

You're the best qualified

Well, I guess
they want you right away

Yes, fine
Great, Larry

- Go get 'em
- Mmm!

This is by far.

The classiest ice-cream truck
I have ever seen

- We drop you off at the hotel first
- Mm-hmm

Then I fly off to the island
to meet the great man himself

- Are you nervous?
- No, No

- "No, No"
- How do you feel?

- I feel great
- Good

Hello, I'm, uh... I'm Larry Douglas
I'm Mr., Demeris's new pilot

Mr., Douglas

Ah, I see you have met Miss Page

She is the one
that you will be flying for

Oh, Very nice to meet you

Come, Mr., Demeris will see you now

Excuse me

I warn you, she can be difficult

What I'm trying not to say is.

She's a first-class bitch

Well, anything first class gets my respect

If she takes dislike to you, boom, you are finished

Hey, I heard she was
some kind of a movie actress

Oh, in Europe, she's very famous

- You never heard of her in America?
- No

Here they come

Ah, Good morning, Miss Page
I believe you and your guests are going to Nice

You believe?
Shouldn't you know?

Good morning, Paul

- Okay
- What?

Okay

Just put your nose
in that flight plan and make sure.

We don't get
a butterfly's balls off course

We're gonna give queenie
the smoothest ride she ever had

- There's going to be some turbulence
- Oh, no, there's not

Yes, Miss Page?

Paul, I didn't like that takeoff
Is the new pilot an amateur?

You must give him some lessons

Yes, Miss Page

I hope you enjoyed
the flight, Miss Page

Paul, please ask him not to address me
unless I speak to him first

To the point, Mr., Douglas.

Miss Page has taken
a dislike to you

Did she say why?

Mm-hmm, She said
you are continually rude

- I'll try to be more careful, sir
- Do that, please

I cannot keep replacing pilots

Mr., Douglas?

Have you ever been shot down?

Not by a woman

Then I suggest that
you offend Miss Page no further

No further? Well, I haven't said
five whole words to the lady.

In the five flights
I've taken her on

She sounds ridiculous, but she must be
awful pretty to keep getting away with it

Nobody's that pretty

It can't be
Jesus, that was years ago

What, honey?

Well, I spent a couple of weeks in Paris
in 1939 or '40 or whenever

- Mm-hmm
- I got hooked up with a very young. Kid, really

She was, um, from a very small town,
and she didn't have any money

So she moved in with me
Then I blew my paycheck

And, uh, then I went back to London

No, it can't be the same girl
That's ridiculous

Why can't you just ask her?

Yeah, sure, I walk up to the mistress
of the richest man in the world.

And I say, "Hey, didn't we have an affair
eight years ago in Paris?"

Come on, Cathy

She wants you

Great

Miss Page?

Listen

You know me
I know you

I need someone to carry my packages

That's swell, But would you mind telling me
why you're rubbing my nose in it?

I was under the impression that Mr., Demeris
spoke to you about your behavior

- He did, but I think...
- Then follow me, and do not let me know you're around

Um, I hate to sound
like the ignored wife.

But I've fixed you
a magnificent meal

You haven't even noticed

I'm sorry

It's just that I don't really know
how much more I can take

- Is the lady still giving you a hard time?
- Yeah, nonstop

Well, is it the same girl?

Yeah, I'm sure of it

Larry, what did you do to her
that eight years later, she's still...

I'll tell you a secret, I don't need
two women driving me up a wall

After a day of her,
I don't need a night of you

I'm sorry

Hey

What are we doing?
Look, neither of us is happy

Larry, if Greece isn't the promised land,
why don't we just go home?

Why?

I have nothing back there, You have Fraser,
you have your job, but I have nothing

We've got each other

- You could get started again I'm sure Bill would help you
- Oh, Christ

Can't we do anything without
bringing Fraser into it?

Poor Bill, Gave a girl a break
and never lived it down

That's not the problem
The problem is that he's always around

Even here, I feel him
Now what the hell is that?

- Friendship
- Well, that kind of friendship, baby, I don't need

That kind of friendship, baby,
you could never understand

Well, you're right about that

You're right

Zurich won't change its reports
Still negative conditions

Stormy, high winds
By this afternoon, they expect zero visibility.

And enough electricity
to light up Switzerland

Larry, we have to cancel

Larry, please, I'm all for a vendetta
if the weather is good

The lady wants to go to Zurich

- But if you explain the flying conditions...
- You explain 'em

- Miss Page, please
- One moment

- Yes?
- Miss Page, this is Paul Metaxas

We have to cancel the flight to Zurich
It's very dangerous

You see, Zurich is like a bowl
ringed with mountains.

And to fly into it
in electrical storm is, uh, very...

Am I to understand that
we have hired a pilot who's a coward?

I’ll have to talk
to Mr., Demeris about it

Well, Paul, unless you can get Errol Flynn
and David Niven to step forward, it's you and me

You know something?
You're crazy like she is

What's she doing?

She's reading a fashion magazine

She'd be smarter
if she were looking over her will

Zurich says they've got it full out
We can still land in Geneva

They want to know why
we insist on Zurich

- Tell them we're crazy
- They know that

Surprise
Zurich is closed

Switch on the speakers

Zurich Tower,

Zurich

Mm-hmm

I wouldn't put my dog in here
This is a mistake

I'm sorry, sir, Miss Page requested
the least expensive room for you

- The other gentleman is on the second floor
- Where's she staying?

In the Emperor's Suite
on the fifth floor

She requested you pick up her bags
in the morning at 1015

- That'll be it, sir?
- Just about

Excuse me

What are you doing here?
Get out

Get out

What happens now?

I can have you dismissed

Perhaps even jailed

Or I can keep you around.

To amuse me

Noelle, you knew who I was

Why have you been doing this to me?

I can get a place for us

Rafina

It's a little spot on the Aegean

Very secluded

Will you have trouble
getting away from your wife?

She's used to my being away

Constantin is going
on a business trip

We'll have a few days together

Noelle, l...

Be always on your best behavior

Be courteous
and aware of your place

Be available when I want you

Welcome back

Cathy, what the hell are you doing
sitting up in the dark?

It was light when I sat down

Well, you didn't have
to wait up for me

Don't be silly

When a woman's husband is gone
for four days and nights.

She waits up

- Did you have a good trip?
- The usual

Is she still being mean to you?

She's not mean
She's just a pain in the ass

Not bad to look at though, eh?

Well, I'd rather look at her
than watch you go to seed

Christ, Every time I see you,
you've got a glass in your hand

Why don't you put
the straw in the bottle?

I would, except I'm afraid
it might be the last straw

Always with the funny lines
When do they stop?

I didn't think it was so funny

I can leave Demeris

I know of one who did

Sarafianos, the singer

What she did was to tell him

That gave him time
to find someone else

Once he did that
and appeared in public with the new one.

Sarafianos was free to leave

It just had to look
as if it was Demeris who left her

I can do it, darling

One month or two,
and you can leave your job

We'll go away.

Perhaps to the United States

We can be married there

Tell her you want a divorce

- She'll go straight to Demeris
- Not if you're clever

- Never, never!
- It's not a marriage anymore!

- It's as much your fault as it is mine!
- Yeah, we make a great team

I buy the booze, and you drink it

Larry, we haven't made love in a month!
You don't even touch me

- If I try to touch you...
- Oh, ho, Goddamn, Here it comes

Here it comes
Jesus

Okay, look, Larry
I know you

I know the way that your mind works

When you first took me to bed.

I knew you were lying with that
"Here's the window, here's the bed" routine

But I didn't care because...

because I loved you

What's your point?

My point is.

You were lying then
and you're lying now

You slept with her before,
and you are sleeping with her now

You can't believe
I'd be that stupid

To make a play for the mistress
of the only man in the world that'll employ me?

- Cathy, put the booze away
It's drying up your brain
- No, it's her!

Damn it, it's you!
Face it, it's you!

You can fool yourself, sweetheart,
but please don't try to fool me!

You bastard!

I'll never give you up
Never

She's out every day...
beauty salons, exercise classes

She's determined to remake herself

I hope you haven't said
anything to encourage her

I told her it's over
She just won't accept that

And so, what happens now?

Have you said anything to Demeris?

No, I thought we'd better
attend to your divorce first

Yes, and we will, It's just that
it may take a bit longer than we thought

How much longer?

Eight years?

I'm not prepared to wait
much longer, darling

Eight years? It's been...
It's not even two months since we've met...

Constantin will find us out
You yourself said that Catherine would tell him

- We must move now
- If you want me to wring a
divorce out of my wife, I can't

So either we go on as we're doing,
which is fine with me, or we end it

It's up to you

Up to me

Oh, Noelle... Noelle, I love you

I always have
I tried like mad to find you

And then the war busted loose, The next time
I saw you, I knew it was you immediately, and...

Stop it!

I don't know why you're so anxious to
shake things up, Right now, we've got it all

- Why rock the boat?
- Because I don't care for
the role of the other woman

Fine, But why all of a sudden
the role of wife?

- 'Cause I've earned it
- It's not all that special, Noelle

It's what I want
You were...

How could I explain it to you?
You were the light, and you took it away

But I pursued it through the years
I kept track of every glimmer of it

I sold myself to keep you
always on the horizon

Come, Come
I want to show you something

I have a dress

It's a wedding dress

A young R, A, F, Pilot
told me to buy it

He said he would be back,
that we would get married

He told me to meet him
at Victor's.

A charming little restaurant
in Montmartre

Well, my pilot never came back

Never

You were the only man
I ever loved.

The only man I ever enjoyed
making love to

Can you imagine the effect
of it all on a young girl.

Told to buy a wedding dress
and told to wait?

Well, I bought the dress
and I have waited

And now, I wish
to collect on that promise

I want my pilot to marry me,
and I want to wear this dress

Don't you think
I'll make a lovely bride?

Noelle, l...

If you leave me again.

It will be the last time
you leave anywhere

I will tell Demeris.

Regardless of
the consequences to myself

I will tell Demeris
of our relationship

And he has had men
destroyed for less

Larry, if you believe
nothing else.

Believe that

Darling, you said it was up to me.

And it is

And I intend to have you totally.

As long as we shall live

Coming, I’m coming!
I'm coming! Just a minute!

Hello?

Hi

I'm fine
Larry, what's the matter?

Sure

Okay, I'll meet you at 100

Hey, it’s all right
It’s okay

It's okay

All I can tell you is
I'm sorry for everything...

for everything I've put you through,
for everything I've done

I almost lost you

I haven't exactly been
the ideal wife myself

Honey, the guilt is where it belongs-with me
Let's leave it there, okay?

Okay, Larry
Please, can't we go home?

- I just wanna go back to the States
- Great

Demeris gets back in a week,
at which time he gets this job back

Oh, baby, we haven't spent five whole days
together since I got out of the service

Before we go home,
let's see Greece, Really see it

Oh, I'm sick of Greece
I'm...

No, I mean, let... let's just
get away from here

Let's spend some time together

Oh, Cathy, I love you

Oh, Larry, it's wonderful!

Look over here
There's a little garden outside

It even has a kitchen
We can cook right here

- Let me put these away, honey
- Oh, I love it

A little place to hang your coat

Hello
Uh, two tickets, please

- Fifty drachmas
- Ah, fine, Thank you

- Uh, one of these also, please
- Ten drachmas

- There
- Thank you

Thank you

- Here we are
- Fifty drachmas, and I will give you the best guided tour

- No, thank you
- But it is... is advisable

Some of the sections are poorly lit,
and it is dangerous!

- We'll be fine, Thank you
- Why don't you wanna get a guide?

Honey, it's a racket, All we need
is the pamphlet and this flashlight.

And we're in business

- Everybody's leaving
- We've got plenty of time

- There's still over an hour till closing
- Okay, well, let's hurry

"When a stalactite growing
down from the ceiling.

"Meets a stalagmite
growing up from the floor.

A column or a pillar is created"

Whoo! Whoo!

Hello! Hello! Hello!

- Larry, what time is it?
- Huh?

Hey, don't worry
Look, we're only...

We've only been gone about 10 minutes
Come on

Let's, uh... Look at that, Let's go this way
Look, look, look, look

- You're having a good time, aren't you?
- Yeah

That's nice

The clerk at the hotel said
there were some new excavations

There might be something interesting
down here, Come on

Careful

- Hey, you hear the water?
- Uh... huh

Here, let's try right down in here
and see what it is

It looks like
a subway entrance to me

Oh, nuts
It's locked

Well, that means we're not supposed to go here
Come on

Wait a minute, Wait a minute
Look over here

Ah, Let's try back in there

That's an open doorway
Come on

Wow, Look

- Look at that
- What... What are you doing?

- Larry...
- Come on, It's just to keep kids out, Come on

But, um... Larry, I really think
there's a reason that sign's there

I think that water leads to the lake
There's supposedly a lake back here

Look, we'll give it
five more minutes

If we don't find the lake in five minutes,
we'll go back, okay?

- Can I have that in writing?
- Yeah

- All right?
- Uh-huh

Put your feet where mine are
You all right?

The clerk at the hotel said there was a lake
and there were cave paintings back here

- Come on, Let's go, Quickly, You all right?
- Yeah, right

Oh, look
It's beautiful

Now, this is what he was talking about
This is the lake

- That's a lake?
- Yeah

- Ah!
- Beautiful

It is beautiful
Thanks

Hey

Come on, Those cave paintings
are around here somewhere, Let's find 'em

Okay
I've gotten us this far

Keep your head down

Just follow me

I will lead you to your cave

No!
You've gotta be kidding

Slow down, Slow down

Ooh, Looks like it's
starting to get dark again

Yeah, Well, he said the cave paintings
were on this side of the lake

- So let's look around
- Which way?

- Right through here
- Okay

- Shine it down the ramp
- Yeah

Look, a room

Look at the ceiling, Come on
Let's go further in

- It's pretty, but l...
- Careful

Oh!
Look at the ceiling

It’s beautiful

But I don’t see any paintings
Oh, look!

Hold it still and
I'll go look at it

- I think we found something
- Careful

I am, Whoa!

Look, Larry! We found "em!
Come here, honey, Come on up

No, no, I can see them fine from here
They're beautiful

But you can't see the detail, Shine the light
up there, I see a face or something

Look at that, It’s incredible! I don’t believe...

These must’ve been here
thousands of years

Looks like some kind of
religious symbols or something

There’s another person...
Like saints or some kind of a cross or something

This must have been used for some kind of
religious occasions or who knows what

I mean, it could have been a meeting place or...

Larry, you scared me half to death
Don't do that

Larry, answer me!

Larry, come on, This isn't funny
Turn the light back on

Larry! Larry!

You son of a bitch!
Larry!

No! No!

Larry!

Larry, you bastard!

Larry! Larry!

It’s all right, You are doing very, very nicely

Everything is going to be
just fine, I promise you

That’s good
Relax

Yes

Cathy? Honey?

Don't let him touch me

- Don't let him touch me
- Cathy...

- She's still in shock now
- Please...

- Perhaps you had best wait in the next room
- Get him away...

- Cathy, listen to me
- Please, please!

- You must let me handle this
- Please help me

- Please call me if you need me
- Don't... Get him away

- Lie down, Lie down
- No, Please...

Lie down, please

That's a good girl
Now, I'm Dr, Kazomides.

And I assure you,
you’re going to be just fine

- He tried to kill me
- Who?

He left me in the caves to die
Please...

Now, I assure you... I assure you
you've been through a terrifying ordeal

I am going to give you
a mild sedative

- No
- And when you wake up, I promise you.

You're going to feel
much, much better

No, please, Don't put me to sleep
You don't understand

He'll murder me in my sleep
Please

But your husband is the one who led
the search party that found you

- What?
- Yes

He managed to get out,
and he immediately called the police

Now, he acted quickly and well

Now, turn over on your side,
please, carefully

But...

Easy
There we go

They should have closed
those damned caves

This is the third accident
this season

There, All right

Now, you’re going to sleep now

And I promise you,
I will be back in the morning

Larry? Larry?

- Nobody saw me, I had to see you
- You're stupid to come here

No one will know
You must make it look like an accident

How the hell do I do that?

What if anyone
were to see us together?

You must do it now while she is asleep
Now, quickly!

We may never have another chance
Please, Larry!

That's it, I told you on the phone
that's as far as I'd go

- We can't stop now!
- We can! I cannot go through with it!

I'll just take my chances
on your telling Demeris

- I will! You know I will!
- Look, damn it, good!

You do it! All I know
is that here is where I get off

I will tell him!
You don't believe me?

Cathy?

Cathy, why did you
lock the door, honey?

Cathy, open the... Damn it!

Cathy, open the door, honey!

Cathy? Cathy?

Cathy!

Cathy!

Cathy?

Cathy?

Cathy!

Cathy!

Honey? Cathy?

Cathy?

Innocent, Costa
Innocent

I'm sorry for all this

I know all the discomfort
it has caused you

I wanted to kill you.

Before you were
arrested and charged

Had I found you, I would have

Why didn't you?

Because you killed me first

I've never needed anyone before

- Costa...
- No, let me finish

I'm not a forgiving man

If I could do without you,
believe me.

I would

If I could.
Replace you...

Noelle, I need you
I want you back

A little late for that, no?

If I could have you freed,
would you come back to me to stay?

Before you answer,
know this

You could never see him again

You could never have him again

I would...

I would stay with you

Then we are going
to forget the past

It's gone
It could not be altered

The future... yes, The future is
all we must give our attention to

I've engaged an attorney
for you both.

The finest in Europe

He has never lost a major case, Never

Perhaps you've heard of him...
Napoleon Chotas

Yes, indeed, gentlemen

This trial approaches farce.

And that is why I felt compelled
to rise at this time.

And call for an end to it

Can one really place credence.

On hearing of the babblings
of an hysterical woman.

That her husband tried to kill her
in those caves.

When that very husband
was responsible for her rescue?

Hardly the action of a murderer

The doctor admitted that she was
in such a confused state.

That she required sedation

Huh?
And what else have we?

Oh, yes
A pathetic hotel porter.

Who thought he recognized
Noelle Page.

Going to the bungalow that night,
et cetera, et cetera

Straws in the wind, gentlemen!
But what I ask is, where is the body?

Scraps of nightgown
found on a dock.

Do not spell murder to me

And, indeed, gentlemen,
murder is not what this trial is all about

This trial is about
adultery and fornication.

And the press has already tried.

Convicted and condemned
the participants

Now, there are many theories as to what
could have happened to Catherine Douglas

Accident, suicide... Who knows?

But, gentlemen,
you do not convict.

A man and a woman
for possible murder!

Therefore, let us put an end
to this waste of public money.

And terminate these proceedings

The defendants
have been punished enough

The publicity of this trial.

Will follow them
the rest of their lives

Enough is enough

Mr., Prosecutor

Maitre Chotas's concern
for time of this court.

And the spending of public money
does him credit.

And I intend to follow his advice.

And bring the proceedings of this court
to an end as soon as possible

Although, perhaps,
not in the way he suggests

In passing, I should like to say.

That the evidence of the
French investigator Barbet.

That the defendant Page.

Has known Douglas
since at least 1945,

Indicates something more
than just a casual affair

I would also like to remind him
that Mr., Douglas.

Did not call for help
to rescue his wife.

Until the cave guide
asked him where his wife was.

As he was seen leaving the caves

But, be that as it may,
with the court's permission.

I will produce an additional.

And I think conclusive
piece of evidence

Permission is granted

This is a piece of notepaper
discovered on the floor.

Of the Douglas bungalow bedroom

It was found by a cleaning woman who,
not realizing the value of it.

Did not hand it over
to the authorities immediately

On it is a message.

Which we believe was written
by Mrs., Douglas

Believe? Believe?

Unsigned notes?
More straws in the wind

We will produce a witness...
Mr., William Fraser from America...

who will testify that it is indeed
a note written by Mrs., Douglas.

And who will produce samples
of her handwriting to substantiate it

What does the note say?

"My husband and Noelle Page.

"Are in the next room

They are going to kill me"

Plead guilty?
Are you crazy?

Please, Mr., Douglas,
just listen to me for a moment

Now, you listen to me!
You listen to me

You want us to plead guilty to a murder
that we didn't commit

Now, do you get that? We did not do it!
Her death was an accident

That is what you say,
but can you prove it?

You are not in America now, Mr., Douglas
You are in Greece.

And under Greek law,
you are guilty until proven innocent

Then prove us innocent
Now, you certainly won't do that.

By having us plead guilty

- I have no option
- No option?

- Now, what the hell are you talking about...
- Larry!

Sit down, please, and listen
to what Mr., Chotas has to say

I am listening,
and I don't like what he has to say

I will confess to an accident,
but not to murder

Mr., Chotas

Thank you, mamsell

When I took this case.

I was confident
we had a good chance

But this new evidence of the note
has changed everything

That is why I applied
immediately for an adjournment

And I informed a certain person of the possible
consequences of such a new development

He agreed with me
that a drastic remedy was necessary

So acting upon these instructions.

I applied for a conference
with the Council of Judges

That was granted to me last night

If the defendants.

Change their plea to guilty.

The judges agreed.

To give each one of you a five-year sentence.

Four years of which
will be suspended

So in reality.

You will have to serve
no more than six months

You, Mr., Douglas,
will be deported.

And never allowed
to return to Greece

Now, I must say in all honesty.

That this arrangement.

Was not an easy thing to accomplish

The primary reason
for the court's leniency.

Is the interest of mamsell's patron

Will the defendants come forward?

I am sure that the defense
is well aware.

That the Greek courts
have never given the maximum sentence.

When a murder has not been
definitely proven to have been committed

My colleagues and I were,
for that reason.

Frankly surprised when the accused
changed their plea to guilty

And we were troubled...

troubled that the change in plea
came only after.

Some damaging and rather irrefutable
evidence had emerged

Mid-trial did not seem to us
a time for conscience.

To suddenly manifest itself

Where was conscience before?

Nor can the easing of conscience
be in any way accepted as atonement.

For a crime that was
visited cold-bloodedly.

Upon a helpless, defenseless
and terrified woman

And so, under the powers
invested in me by the State.

And in accord with her laws.

I pronounce that the sentence
on the two defendants.

Noelle Page and Lawrence Douglas.

Shall be execution
by a firing squad

It was the sucker play of all time

You should have known

Mr., Douglas?

There

Is that to your liking?

Yes, Thank you

What sort of day is it?
Is there sun?

Yes, there is

Good

- I love the sun
- Mademoiselle?

"Have mercy upon me, O God.

"According to thy loving kindness.

"According unto the multitude
of thy tender mercies

"Blot out my transgressions

"For I acknowledge
my transgressions.

"And my sin is ever before me

"Against thee, thee only,
have I sinned.

"And done this evil in your sight

"Hide thy face from my sins

"Blot out my transgressions,
and blot out all mine inequities

"Create in me a clean heart,
O God.

"And renew a right spirit within me

"Cast me not from thy presence.

And take not thy Holy Spirit
from me"

Have you anything to say?

May God forgive you

No

Ready!

Aim!

Fire!

Again, I wish to comment on your generosity

Without your constant support,
well...

It's nothing, Sister Theresa
Just nothing

Not in God's eyes
There she is

Surely it was God
who permitted us.

To rescue your friend
from the sea.

When she was swept ashore
on that terrible night

You say God
I say Fate

- How is she?
- Getting stronger every day

She will be ready to leave soon

Thank you, Sister.
