Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,993
The majority of events related
in this film are true.
2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,676
However, the authors are not trying
to do the work of historians.
3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,589
They have allowed
their imaginations some liberty.
4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,355
They apologise to those
who may share the same names
5
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,318
as those used for
certain characters in this film.
6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,517
There is, naturally,
no relationship involved.
7
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,352
There they are!
8
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:21,070
There they are!
9
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,875
July 1933... CASSIS, FRANCE
10
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,876
I’m Chief-Inspector Gardet
of the Sûreté Générale
11
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,558
Mr Lev Davidovich Bronstein,
known as Leon Trotsky...
12
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,355
For humanitarian reasons,
and as an exceptional measure...
13
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,355
the government of France
hereby grants you asylum
14
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,878
There is one condition...
15
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,273
You may not intervene
in the internal affairs of France
16
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,038
We had you disembark
here at Cassis...
17
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,270
to avoid demonstrations
18
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,271
The Press is waiting in Marseilles
19
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,954
We want to keep
your itinerary a secret
20
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,112
Here is a copy of the decree
authorizing you to reside in France
21
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,758
And so a page of history is turned...
22
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,478
He led the October Revolution
at Lenin’s side
23
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,195
He created the Red Army...
now he is in exile again!
24
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,871
MEANWHILE IN PARIS
25
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,437
Your car, Mr Alexandre?
26
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,079
Yes... I’ll be right there
27
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,435
Baron Raoul is waiting, sir
28
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,719
Find out who Bonny is working for
29
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,474
Inspector Bonny often works
on his own
30
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,240
I want the answer today,
Boussaud!
31
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,756
If it’s money, I’ll pay.
Just one more palm to grease!
32
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,038
9 tonight, Place St Georges...
the back door
33
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,153
Thanks for coming back, Baron
34
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,793
I need your advice
35
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,077
I don’t trust Gaston
to run the Empire alone
36
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,516
Always delighted to be of service...
37
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,957
Tell me about Biarritz, Baron.
Is Arlette still beautiful?
38
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,077
Still the most beautiful, Sacha
39
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,800
Yesterday,
in Juan Montalvo’s Hispano...
40
00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:47,953
she was ravishing: a queen!
41
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,399
The jury was simply...
42
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,710
Later, Baron! Don’t spoil it for me
43
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,757
I’ll want all the details
44
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,795
I’m keeping you with me all day
45
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,593
What’s in the news?
46
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,672
Hollywood’s on strike.
Wall Street’s reeling
47
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,678
Speicher won the Tour de France
48
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,793
Have you read Kessel’s article
in Le Matin?
49
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,398
"The Call of the Blood"
is the melodramatic title
50
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,757
And what blood does he mean?
Jewish blood!
51
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,633
To protest against...
52
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,996
racial persecution in Germany...
53
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,912
Lord Melchett, president
of the Chemical Industries Trust...
54
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,718
has abjured Christianity
55
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,758
He has returned to the faith
of his forefathers
56
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,033
And he, Joseph Kessel, approves...
57
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,793
of this gesture by a rich
and powerful man
58
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,350
Melchett reacts to adversity...
59
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,473
by renewing bonds from which
he was otherwise liberated
60
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,633
We’re supposed to think:
How noble!
61
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,276
I’m not struck by the nobility
but by the stupidity!
62
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,114
Calling attention
to one’s Jewish origins...
63
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,358
is a sure way to arouse animosity
64
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,312
Ever read leftist papers?
65
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,916
Never... I haven’t the strength.
They’re so badly written?
66
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:36,831
"The Council Presidents
and most Ministers..."
67
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,912
"are swine, bastards
and gangsters"
68
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,755
"The traitors! Shove dynamite up
their behinds..."
69
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,798
Is that well-written?
70
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,151
But that’s a polemic, Sacha!
71
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,835
The language
is purposely excessive
72
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,519
But you’re well-bred...
73
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:56,558
How can you frequent
those Radical-Socialists?
74
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,997
You don’t understand...
75
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,231
I frequent those in power!
76
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,634
What can I do? The Left Coalition
won the elections!
77
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,473
If your friends win next time...
78
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,835
we’ll celebrate with champagne
79
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,672
Don’t wait till then, Sacha
80
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,877
I’ll introduce you to my friends
whenever you like
81
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,991
In power or not, they have power!
82
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,876
Checks ready, Borelli?
83
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,637
Draw 50,000 cash from
the La Foncière account
84
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,439
Have Laloy take 25,000
to Mr Véricourt
85
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,636
Bring me the rest at the Empire
86
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,393
Draw 200,000
from the C.I.C. account
87
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,314
Deposit it to my account
at the Crédit Lyonnais
88
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,512
Transfer 45,000 to Biarritz
and draw 100,000...
89
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,113
Put it in the office safe
90
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,396
Can I talk to you, Bonny?
91
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,039
Why hound Serge Alexandre?
92
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,953
Alexandre?
Oh yes, that’s his name now...
93
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,639
Am I hounding him?
94
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,429
You’ve turned in three reports
on him since May
95
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,918
And La Bonne Guerre
keeps attacking him...
96
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,593
The editor’s your man
97
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,433
Drop it! Do I bother your informers?
98
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,830
That’s just it! Too much so...
99
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,958
I see...
So Alexandre still works for you?
100
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,709
Put yourself in his place!
101
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:02,959
Do you want your past dug up?
102
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,468
Would you like anyone digging
into the Volberg case?
103
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:13,752
I guess I’ll fill you in on this,
after all
104
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,954
You see? That’s all money is...
105
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,276
Bits of paper for Borelli to handle
106
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,874
Off we go, Baron... to the Empire
107
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,318
Alexander’s Empire!
108
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,438
Now describe
Arlette’s triumph for me
109
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,114
It was glorious, Sacha...
an apotheosis!
110
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,477
Everything was perfect,
even the weather
111
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,635
You would have loved
the blue hydrangeas...
112
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,831
A nightmare? What nightmare?
113
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,918
She dreamed
that you were both falling
114
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,958
It’s a very common dream, Sacha
115
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,759
You were in a car
that had no brakes
116
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,832
She’s had that same dream often,
lately
117
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,718
I must tell Dr Mezy...
118
00:12:57,560 --> 00:12:59,915
Is Montalvo still courting my wife?
119
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,754
Nothing can discourage
our Don Juan!
120
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,117
He put his car
at her disposal again yesterday
121
00:13:57,561 --> 00:13:59,836
What about his other plot?
122
00:14:00,001 --> 00:14:01,992
To overthrow
the Spanish Republic...
123
00:14:02,161 --> 00:14:03,594
I wouldn’t know...
124
00:14:03,761 --> 00:14:06,400
He’s preparing to go to Italy
125
00:14:06,561 --> 00:14:10,315
To Italy?
They’re contacting Mussolini...
126
00:14:11,761 --> 00:14:13,672
Of course... Mussolini!
127
00:14:19,201 --> 00:14:20,395
Hello, Doc
128
00:14:27,521 --> 00:14:30,593
I have to see Alex
for a few minutes...
129
00:14:31,201 --> 00:14:32,953
I must examine him!
130
00:14:36,161 --> 00:14:38,914
He’s nervous,
depressed and can’t sleep
131
00:14:39,081 --> 00:14:40,878
I don’t like that one bit!
132
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,430
Should I have told Sacha?
133
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,158
To say nothing is a kind of betrayal
134
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,074
But it wouldn’t be gallant
to tell him about it...
135
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,790
Yesterday, after Arlette’s triumph...
136
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,838
Montalvo launchedhis final assault...
137
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,310
against her resistances
138
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,232
"All or nothing," he told me
139
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,789
"She’s mine tonight, or I disappear"
140
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,792
What’s he saying...?
141
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,631
Arlette seems fascinated
142
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,230
What can they be saying?
143
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,916
Something has upset them
144
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,671
My ancestors defeated the Arabs...
145
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,990
3000 acres of olive trees,
vineyards...
146
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,798
Mine, by blood-right!
147
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,833
And so I raised my hand...
148
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,593
The Guardia Civil
were ordered to fire
149
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,713
The peasants
were shot down point-blank
150
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,675
In Spain... we have a long history
of knowing how to die
151
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,830
Why won’t you ever see me alone?
152
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,478
Afraid you’ll weaken?
153
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,478
No, I’m not afraid of that,
my dear Juan
154
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,354
I’m not virtuous
and I don’t consider marriage sacred
155
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,751
But I belong to a man
156
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:01,719
I am his
157
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,434
He alone can release me
from my vows
158
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,553
And that’s the only thing
I’m afraid of...
159
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,957
That he might do it!
160
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,268
Can we stage Deux sous de fleurs
modestly?
161
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,193
Use the decors from Katinka,
for example...
162
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,070
The public wants new things...
everything new!
163
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,597
Gaston’s right!
With a Depression on...
164
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,399
people want to see extravaganzas!
165
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,472
They want to see all
the things they haven’t got
166
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:40,993
"Life can be beautiful..."
167
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,073
And life can be beautiful!
Right, Alex?
168
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,628
It’s two against one...
Deux sous de fleurs it is!
169
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,317
How much will Deux sous de fleurs
cost me?
170
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,594
Go on,
start the auditions without me
171
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,399
I need Mr Grammont’s legal counsel
172
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,636
I’ll be needing you, too!
173
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,270
Sorry to keep you waiting
174
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,236
Here’s what I found...
175
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,070
It dates from 1926
176
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,995
Our next issue will carry the picture
with the caption...
177
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:25,634
"The owner of the newspaper
La Volonté
178
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,870
"and of the Empire Theater...
179
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,433
"during a surprise party"
180
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:32,758
How do you like it, Bonny?
181
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,390
I’ve changed my mind...
Alexandre is on his guard
182
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,470
What’ll I do?
183
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,232
Go see him anyway
184
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,719
I have a report here,
from Biarritz...
185
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,471
Say it’s a gossip item...
just for openers
186
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,439
See how he reacts
to a direct contact
187
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,280
La Bonne Guerre
doesn’t worry me, Doc
188
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,556
I can handle scandal sheets
189
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,477
But Inspector Bonny is behind it
190
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,076
He filed reports on me
May 23rd, June 17th...
191
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,196
and July 1st! That’s this month...
192
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:09,674
You’re well-informed
193
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,353
I pay enough...
194
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,954
The Police Fund is
an expensive mistress!
195
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,476
Grammont, attack the root
of the problem...
196
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,831
And the root is the Laforcade file
197
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,715
Get it over with, lawyer!
198
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,355
It’s dragged on for seven years
199
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,398
It’s been postponed 12 times... fine!
200
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,311
Now get the case dismissed
and the civil suit withdrawn
201
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,311
Try the statute of limitations
202
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:39,791
We know judges and Ministers...
find a solution!
203
00:19:40,120 --> 00:19:42,953
I’ve talked to Véricourt,
we have a plan
204
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,591
We’ll settle
the civil suit out of court
205
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,078
I can do it with two million...
206
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,276
But I have to ask some questions...
207
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,910
Ask Dr Mezy!
That’s why I had him come today
208
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,794
I’ve forgotten
209
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,958
I’ve decided to forget!
210
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,628
I am Serge Alexandre,
financier and impresario
211
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,314
Newspaper and stable owner
212
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,717
Soon I’ll head C.A.G.T.R.I.,
an international trust...
213
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,190
Quoted shares worth 500 million,
government-backed
214
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,396
So why ask me about
that poor jerk out on bail?
215
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:17,629
That small-time con man...
216
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,877
Don’t mention him to me again!
217
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,315
Get him out of my life, Grammont!
218
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,312
Oh, he’s perfectly sincere
219
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,512
It’s a typical case
of a split personality
220
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,559
The person that he was...
is someone else!
221
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,156
A phantom that he despises...
and fears
222
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,471
Well, the arrest at Marly
in July 1926 is no dream
223
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,878
It’s rather naive...
224
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,080
It was a routine police operation...
225
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,149
Alex had been hidingfor three months
226
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,360
A warrant was out for his arrest...
227
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,111
Fraud, receiving stolen goods,bad checks...
228
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,471
And Alex had been warned
229
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,519
He’s always had "friends"in the police
230
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,469
He had time to escape
231
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,917
But he wanted to givea farewell party
232
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,037
Alex likes parties...
233
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,071
I arrested him at Marly...
234
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,833
Two years later,
I ran into him at a café
235
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,314
He was out of prison
236
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,311
Case dismissed, he said
237
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,640
He agreed
to become one of my informers
238
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,110
He gave me some good tips
on swindlers...
239
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,914
forgers and addicts
240
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,274
It was his world
241
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,716
The day after Alex’s arrest...
242
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,519
his father, a reputable dentist...
243
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,071
committed suicide
244
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,709
And then there were the women...
245
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,076
This is a police report
dated April 1926...
246
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,838
"His means of support are vague"
247
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,998
"Lazy and immoral..."
248
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,549
"he takes advantage of women"
249
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,112
One episode was
a determining factor, I think
250
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,956
You won’t find it in his file
251
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,470
To understand Alex,
sometimes you must forget files
252
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,352
You have to dream about him
253
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,838
And imagine his dreams...
254
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,357
Alex was 16 years oldand still in school
255
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,560
A woman of 30, a semi-professional...
256
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,918
found him attractiveand took him away
257
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,038
She took him to Deauville...and initiated him
258
00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:36,075
Alex discovered...
259
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,836
the worlds of luxury,gambling and pleasure
260
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,991
That initiation was decisive
261
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,593
Not at all, Doc...
262
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,514
Not at all!
263
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,796
That woman didn’t initiate me...
264
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,037
My grandfather had seen to that!
265
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,993
My father was serious and fearful...
266
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,799
always worrying
about respectability
267
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,151
But not my grandfather!
268
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,471
When I was singing in a musical...
269
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,552
he came to hear me!
He taught me everything...
270
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,549
I came to invite you to join us...
271
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,036
The auditions are great fun!
272
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,397
Miss Zambaux...
273
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,074
Miss Edith Boreal, please!
274
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,355
What have you prepared for us?
275
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,796
Je t’aime by Sacha Guitry... Act 5
276
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,349
The scene between him and her
277
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:50,555
Where is "him"?
278
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,673
At the last minute, he stood me up
279
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:56,476
You wouldn’t like to cue me...?
280
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,159
Am I the type for it?
281
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,996
If the young lady has a copy
of the play, I’ll try
282
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:03,958
Excellent idea, Baron
283
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,197
"There! Like magic...
you have a house"
284
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,034
"Oh! May I look around...?"
285
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,595
"What is it?"
286
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:38,039
"There’s linen in the closets...
and everything!"
287
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,314
"May I see the dining room?"
288
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,357
"Make yourself at home"
289
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,353
"It’s so pretty..."
290
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,070
"Tablecloths and silverware..."
291
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,233
"glasses and dishes!
It’s beautiful..."
292
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,836
"I forgot to look in the bathroom"
293
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,477
I’ll give you five minutes!
294
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,870
This item will appear
in next week’s issue...
295
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,270
It may interest you, Mr Alexandre
296
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,316
You wrote it...
297
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,153
Read it!
298
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:40,075
"In Biarritz the other day,
baccarat was played for high stakes"
299
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,714
"Up to 300,000 francs
bet by the professional gamblers..."
300
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,630
"Henriet, Garcia, Serge Alexandre"
301
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:54,352
"Alexandre is Stovosky
of the phony Hungarian bond issue"
302
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,512
Excuse the misspelling
303
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,672
Typographers are hopeless
about foreign names
304
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:01,148
That’s enough!
305
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,395
Casino gossip leaves me cold!
I’m covered there...
306
00:27:06,120 --> 00:27:08,031
Ask your friends on the Vice Squad
307
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,199
And the rest is a lie!
308
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,350
Send him the documentation
on the Hungarian bonds
309
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,799
And the study made
by Judge Vannier...
310
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,429
on behalf of the government
311
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,838
No, your gossip column
doesn’t interest me!
312
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,278
But your little publication does...
313
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,949
I have a new company, S.A.P.E.P.
314
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:34,395
My friend Borelli is in charge
315
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,552
The idea is to group
certain publications...
316
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,473
around a central
advertising organization
317
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,918
I’ve already signed up
Cyrano and Le Cri du Jour...
318
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,152
and I’m negotiating
with Le Charivari and D’Artagnan
319
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,072
And La Bonne Guerre?
320
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,951
I’m at war with La Bonne Guerre!
321
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,110
Your project interests me, of course
322
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,549
Borelli will give you the details
323
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,395
Give him something on account!
324
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,118
"Ours will be
a love without any story"
325
00:28:15,360 --> 00:28:17,828
"No one else will understand"
326
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,512
"And if a playwright
were to decide..."
327
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,229
"to write about our love,
the critics would say..."
328
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,875
"it’s not a play! Nothing happens..."
329
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,994
Miss Erna Wolfgang, please
330
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,198
I can sing, dance and act
331
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,918
I’m also a trapeze artist...
332
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,470
and I can walk a high-wire
333
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,157
But I have an accent,
as you can hear
334
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:09,715
I’m Jewish
335
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,112
I’ve just come from Germany
336
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,993
Since the Nazis took power
this year...
337
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,674
it’s hard for us to live in Germany
338
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,592
It has never been easy
for us to live anywhere
339
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,509
My last role in Germany was
in a play called Die Maßnahme
340
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,232
The police closed the theater
341
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,634
So, here I am!
342
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,590
I had prepared a monologue
but after seeing that gentleman...
343
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,990
Would you please cue me?
344
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,076
If it’s not an insult
to French genius...
345
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,189
I’d like to do a scene
from Giraudoux’s Intermezzo
346
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:51,910
But I need a Specter
347
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,348
Let me do it, Baron!
348
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,758
Playing a specter should suit me
349
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,236
Come on, I have a copy for you
350
00:30:14,399 --> 00:30:17,197
I’ve made some cuts...
It starts here
351
00:30:18,079 --> 00:30:19,478
What do I do?
352
00:30:26,999 --> 00:30:28,990
You float behind me
353
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:34,992
Try to read your role
with feeling, Alex
354
00:30:35,839 --> 00:30:37,511
I’m on a bench
355
00:30:39,319 --> 00:30:40,195
It’s night...
356
00:30:44,159 --> 00:30:45,877
May we have some night, please?
357
00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:47,518
Make it night
358
00:30:48,919 --> 00:30:52,275
"No... the dead are remarkably agile"
359
00:30:58,719 --> 00:31:02,951
"No, the dead
are remarkably agile..."
360
00:31:03,639 --> 00:31:05,994
"They never stumble into the void"
361
00:31:06,159 --> 00:31:07,831
"They never trip over shadows"
362
00:31:08,479 --> 00:31:11,118
"They never stub their toes
on nothingness"
363
00:31:11,639 --> 00:31:15,314
"And nothing ever lights up
their faces..."
364
00:31:16,239 --> 00:31:18,992
The simplest answer is
that he was insane
365
00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:22,675
Mr Chairman, an ex-convict
should be invisible...
366
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,792
"to understand and enjoy
being immortal"
367
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:30,432
"They aren’t!"
368
00:31:30,639 --> 00:31:31,992
"What do you mean?"
369
00:31:32,439 --> 00:31:33,872
"They die, too"
370
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:37,677
"Strange how races
don’t know themselves"
371
00:31:37,919 --> 00:31:41,275
"Indians think they are red,
Negroes think they are white"
372
00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:44,468
"The dead think they are mortal"
373
00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:47,075
There... it’s finished
374
00:32:13,479 --> 00:32:15,913
Why broadcast that you’re Jewish?
375
00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:17,069
Because I am
376
00:32:17,399 --> 00:32:19,629
Not much of an answer,
Miss Wolf-track
377
00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:23,396
Wolfgang means wolf-track
378
00:32:24,719 --> 00:32:27,677
Would you like
a more theatrical answer?
379
00:32:29,159 --> 00:32:32,515
Because when I look at trees,
roses, sky...
380
00:32:32,679 --> 00:32:34,032
I know I’m Jewish
381
00:32:34,199 --> 00:32:36,508
I hate races that
don’t know themselves...
382
00:32:36,679 --> 00:32:38,590
Jews who think they’re happy...
383
00:32:38,759 --> 00:32:40,670
have equal rights and are safe
384
00:32:40,839 --> 00:32:42,716
Where does it get you?
385
00:32:42,879 --> 00:32:45,439
I can be myself... I can be different
386
00:32:47,879 --> 00:32:49,631
Know what my father said?
387
00:32:50,599 --> 00:32:51,918
Be average, Sacha
388
00:32:52,079 --> 00:32:55,515
Being first makes enemies.
Being last looks bad.
389
00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:57,915
Be average so they forget you
390
00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:00,035
But they don’t forget us
391
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,750
- You’re from...?
- I’m from Russia
392
00:33:04,999 --> 00:33:07,035
I’d like you to be happy
393
00:33:11,519 --> 00:33:14,033
30 seconds to reach the street...
394
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:17,587
Only 30 seconds
to offer you happiness
395
00:33:18,239 --> 00:33:21,629
Not pleasure...
pleasure takes a lifetime
396
00:33:22,399 --> 00:33:23,514
Not vice-versa?
397
00:33:23,679 --> 00:33:25,351
That’s a common error
398
00:33:25,639 --> 00:33:27,789
Happiness is a single moment...
399
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:30,070
Sunlight on water...
400
00:33:30,239 --> 00:33:32,628
At best, a long series of moments
401
00:33:32,839 --> 00:33:35,399
Pleasure requires much thought
402
00:33:35,799 --> 00:33:38,597
You need time, leisure...
inventiveness
403
00:33:39,479 --> 00:33:41,197
Pleasure is for the rich!
404
00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:42,474
Who are you...?
405
00:33:42,639 --> 00:33:45,517
All this is mine... my Empire!
406
00:33:45,679 --> 00:33:47,112
I can offer you Paris
407
00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:48,394
Thanks anyway...
408
00:33:52,479 --> 00:33:54,071
I like happiness
409
00:34:33,279 --> 00:34:35,668
You made me lose my head
410
00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:41,275
Did I make too much noise?
411
00:35:00,039 --> 00:35:02,872
"The dear was naked and,
knowing my desire..."
412
00:35:03,039 --> 00:35:05,917
"Wore only her jewels,
to set my heart afire"
413
00:35:06,319 --> 00:35:09,948
"She seemed the victor,
wearing such rich attire..."
414
00:35:10,119 --> 00:35:13,111
"With the secret smile
slaves sometimes acquire"
415
00:35:13,839 --> 00:35:17,229
Another little housewife
looking for a great love
416
00:35:17,999 --> 00:35:20,752
A cultivated provincial... the worst!
417
00:35:23,479 --> 00:35:25,674
Just to be rude, I started with...
418
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:29,514
"Strip except for the jewel!
I want to look..."
419
00:35:30,279 --> 00:35:33,828
She began gurgling
and quoting Baudelaire
420
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:36,231
That did it!
421
00:35:40,639 --> 00:35:42,914
Luckily she adores mystery stories
422
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:47,869
I had a topic of conversation
to hide my lack of desire
423
00:35:59,159 --> 00:36:02,356
The little idiot sold it to me
for a pittance
424
00:36:02,959 --> 00:36:04,995
Her husband is a miser...
425
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,514
She needs money for her escapades
426
00:36:15,399 --> 00:36:18,436
Alex! I’ve gone over the accounts...
427
00:36:19,839 --> 00:36:21,067
It’s a disaster!
428
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:23,793
Let me speak, just this once
429
00:36:24,159 --> 00:36:25,990
Then you can do what you want
430
00:36:30,839 --> 00:36:32,750
We’ll compare figures...
431
00:36:35,159 --> 00:36:35,830
Ready
432
00:36:37,039 --> 00:36:40,827
Racing stables...
3 million francs net loss
433
00:36:41,399 --> 00:36:42,627
You agree?
434
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,988
Empire Theater losses
for one season...
435
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:50,198
6,237,378 francs...
We’ll skip the centimes
436
00:36:50,439 --> 00:36:51,792
I never count centimes!
437
00:36:52,399 --> 00:36:54,993
600,000
distributed to scandal sheets
438
00:36:55,279 --> 00:36:57,474
3,500,000 sunk into S.A.P.E.P.
439
00:36:57,639 --> 00:37:01,268
Two million in "fees" to lawyers,
politicians...
440
00:37:01,439 --> 00:37:02,952
ex-generals, ex-police chiefs, etc.
441
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,354
Almost finished!
442
00:37:05,079 --> 00:37:08,310
Gambling losses:
2,250,000 at Biarritz...
443
00:37:08,479 --> 00:37:10,151
Five million at Cannes
444
00:37:10,319 --> 00:37:13,595
22 million francs squandered
in less than two years
445
00:37:13,839 --> 00:37:15,192
Squandered?
446
00:37:15,519 --> 00:37:18,989
No, not squandered... invested!
447
00:37:19,959 --> 00:37:22,268
Money attracts money...
448
00:37:22,799 --> 00:37:25,074
I operate entirely on credit!
449
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,116
Why do I have that credit?
450
00:37:27,359 --> 00:37:30,908
Because I throw money around...
as you call it
451
00:37:31,679 --> 00:37:34,591
If I stop now,
people will get suspicious
452
00:37:35,159 --> 00:37:37,719
They’ll smell trouble
and tear me apart!
453
00:37:37,959 --> 00:37:39,915
But you are in trouble, Alex!
454
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,710
In 60 days you have to go to court
455
00:37:45,159 --> 00:37:48,435
Véricourt can make a deal...
We’ll settle out of court
456
00:37:48,959 --> 00:37:51,393
Make a deal...!
457
00:37:52,759 --> 00:37:55,398
Where will you get the money
to make a deal?
458
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:57,957
Cover the Bayonne vouchers
459
00:37:58,119 --> 00:38:01,077
You can’t re-pay
the 3 million due last week
460
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,992
Five million more
come due in a month
461
00:38:04,159 --> 00:38:06,468
Fake vouchers! What if they audit?
462
00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:09,270
I know, I need 100 million!
463
00:38:11,399 --> 00:38:13,549
But in October,
CAGTRI will be incorporated
464
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,189
500 million! I’ll cover
all the Bayonne vouchers...
465
00:38:17,519 --> 00:38:18,713
And we’ll be solvent!
466
00:38:18,879 --> 00:38:21,074
And till then? The emeralds again?
467
00:38:22,279 --> 00:38:23,758
Something much better...
468
00:38:23,959 --> 00:38:26,917
The Spanish connection!
"Love is blind..."
469
00:38:27,079 --> 00:38:30,435
Montalvo? That polo-playing
parlor conspirator!
470
00:38:30,599 --> 00:38:33,352
The polo player is preparing
a coup d’état
471
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:36,875
He’s buying arms from Mussolini.
He must have lots of money...
472
00:38:37,039 --> 00:38:40,998
I’ll offer my Swiss company
as intermediary for the funds
473
00:39:39,119 --> 00:39:41,997
Your excellency,
gentlemen, friends...
474
00:39:43,359 --> 00:39:46,669
Allow me to welcome you
to the first Board meeting...
475
00:39:47,399 --> 00:39:50,835
of CAGTRI, the International
Construction and Finance Corp.
476
00:40:08,479 --> 00:40:09,958
One question...
477
00:40:13,399 --> 00:40:15,959
One big question haunts the world
478
00:40:16,799 --> 00:40:19,154
How can we end the Depression?
479
00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:22,593
The world’s most
civilized countries...
480
00:40:22,839 --> 00:40:25,069
are on the horns of a dilemma
481
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:28,591
On the one hand,
stockpiles of unsold merchandise...
482
00:40:28,839 --> 00:40:32,798
on the other,
masses of unemployed workers
483
00:40:34,879 --> 00:40:37,074
What is the cause of this situation?
484
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,916
Let me explain, Mr Chairman...
485
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,311
I wasn’t his trusted friend,
as you’ve called me...
486
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:27,955
I was his trusted employee
487
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:32,079
We always knew who was boss
488
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:33,713
That’s too much!
489
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,759
I was promised that no one
would have access to my file
490
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,719
And yet I saw it on Bonny’s desk
491
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,430
Anyway, he’s done his worst...
492
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,272
He informed La Bonne Guerre
493
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,069
He’ll try something else...
unofficially
494
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:54,396
I know his plan...
495
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,191
He’s going to Biarritz on vacation.
He’ll go to Bayonne for a loan
496
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,669
He’ll pawn fake jewels
at the Municipal Loan Office
497
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:37,674
Did you see Boussaud go out?
498
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:40,756
Nothing suspicious?
499
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:42,998
You weren’t followed?
500
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,679
The Sûreté Générale is a snake pit...
501
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,877
As bad as Police Headquarters!
502
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,190
Véricourt’s in the legislature...
503
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,557
He ought to get
a Police Reform bill passed!
504
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,111
Know where Bonny’s vacationing?
505
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,994
In Biarritz... 5 miles from Bayonne
506
00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:04,676
He’s setting a trap for me...
507
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:08,839
Using fake jewels as collateral
at the Municipal Loan Office
508
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,391
Then he can investigate officially
509
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:12,795
He’s not stupid
510
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:19,678
Let’s go wake Arlette...
511
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,239
in Biarritz!
512
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:22,879
Aren’t we dining with the Baron?
513
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,349
We’ll all go!
Ready to roll all night?
514
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:27,555
Let’s buy flowers
515
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,389
Flowers... at 6 AM?
516
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,352
No matter what time it is!
517
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,512
I want a mountain of white flowers
for Arlette
518
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,235
We’ll drag the florists out of bed...
519
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,795
Lilies, orchids, camelias, roses...
520
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,430
White roses are very pretty
521
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,069
I dreamt it again
522
00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:06,389
I know
523
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,192
The car was rolling on grass
524
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,035
We were together...
525
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,675
Yes... I was in your arms
526
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:16,677
I heard your voice in my ear
527
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,398
Saying the same words?
528
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:22,349
The same words... the ermine,
the orchids...
529
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,309
Your voice in my ear...
530
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,512
The car was picking up speed?
531
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,355
Going faster and faster...
plunging down the hill
532
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,957
We went over a cliff
533
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,397
The car took off
in a cloud of white feathers
534
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,953
No... they were snowflakes
535
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,475
My mouth was filled with snow
536
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,278
I couldn’t breathe,
couldn’t see your face
537
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,433
Snow everywhere...
538
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,194
There’s no snow, Arlette
539
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,755
There’s a July sun shining
540
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:05,436
We’re happy...
541
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,717
It’s lovely... Where’s it from?
542
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,913
Yesterday at 10 AM a lady
from Angoulême was wearing it...
543
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,471
in the lobby of the Claridge
544
00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:21,076
At 5 PM, I was in her bed
545
00:47:21,240 --> 00:47:24,755
Plump, smooth-skinned,
wicked... brainless!
546
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,916
At 7 PM,
the necklace was in my pocket
547
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,276
You made her pay you...?
548
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,791
Never! But I got it
for a tenth of its value
549
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,550
The maids will be coming in...
I don’t care!
550
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:08,238
MUNICIPAL LOAN OFFICE
OF BAYONNE
551
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,758
Three million
in unpaid vouchers, Alex...
552
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:15,153
If a Tax Inspector notices
that the numbers...
553
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,710
don’t match my accounts, I’m through!
554
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,476
You must reimburse, Alex
555
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,955
The inspector won’t notice anything!
556
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,033
Has he noticed anything before?
557
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,478
Relax, I’ll send you the money
next week
558
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,871
Watch out for Inspector Bonny!
That’s important...
559
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,956
How does it feel to have squandered
such a fortune?
560
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,390
I feel quite contented, Sacha
561
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,596
It’s the only real contentment!
562
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,910
After conquering Europe
for Napoleon...
563
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,119
my family went on to conquer
a financial empire
564
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:55,592
I dissipated those ill-gotten gains
in one long celebration!
565
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,633
Of course, it took me 40 years
to do it
566
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,358
I envy you
567
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,876
I have to invent
the money I squander
568
00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:05,229
I had nothing
569
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,834
Bank is 10,000 francs, gentlemen...
570
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,995
9 to the bank... Baccarat!
571
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:19,752
It’s time to leave Biarritz
572
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,551
How’s your coup d’état
coming along, Montalvo?
573
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:48,871
Will Mussolini sell you the arms?
574
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,554
Don’t worry, I’m silent as a tomb!
575
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:53,189
Who told you?
576
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:57,399
No one... You went to Italy
so I guessed why
577
00:49:58,000 --> 00:49:58,910
You’re very quick
578
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,712
Such a huge financial manipulation
requires discretion
579
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,589
Funds safely blocked while
you negotiate...
580
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,710
I happen to have a Swiss company...
581
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:11,757
and Swiss bank accounts
582
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,033
What a timely offer!
583
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,189
I’ve been trying to solve
that problem...
584
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,952
Do you recall that American,
Mrs Winters?
585
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:45,678
The one who had her face enamelled...
586
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,757
Surely you met her at Monte Carlo
587
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,593
Mirror always in hand,
even in the street!
588
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,755
The other day, it all went to pieces
589
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,150
She couldn’t stand the sight
590
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,279
The truth of her age
spilling out of the mask
591
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,033
She slit her wrists...
592
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:10,950
Please don’t tell Sacha about it!
593
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:12,630
Not today
594
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,118
It’s an anniversary
595
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,197
You’re his friend, I can tell you...
596
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,156
Seven years ago...
597
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,475
Sacha’s father committed suicide
598
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,792
A family matter...
599
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,913
Sacha was away... on a trip
600
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:37,072
I didn’t know! Count on me...
601
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:40,794
Baron...?
602
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:44,757
Glad you’re here...
Tonight, we celebrate!
603
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,799
Oscar Wilde was right.
Prison is the worst thing in life
604
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:27,794
No, the worst thing in life...
is death!
605
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:32,958
Prison is worse than death
606
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,713
How can we judge?
607
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,916
We haven’t experienced either one
608
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,109
I’ve been to prison
609
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,630
You forget I was Chief of Police
610
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,472
I would know, my friend...
611
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,230
You don’t know!
612
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,996
No one knows who I am or
what I’m capable of!
613
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,195
He caught me stealing gold fillings
from his dental clinic
614
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,952
And he said to me...
615
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,954
"If you dishonor our name,
I’ll kill myself’
616
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:17,357
Honor and work...
that’s all he ever talked about
617
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,629
Did they honor his name
during the Ukraine pogroms?
618
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,112
But he wanted to forget that
619
00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:28,917
He wanted to be a nice,
respected dentist
620
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:34,072
If grandfather hadn’t laughed
he’d have gone to Mass!
621
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,318
What’s worse than a craven father?
622
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,440
But he had the courage
to shoot himself
623
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,112
You must leave,
I’ve let you stay too long...
624
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:55,077
Everything all right? No trouble?
625
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:57,830
Don’t you ever get any mail?
626
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,959
How? To Mr Leon Trotsky,
c/o General Delivery...
627
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,270
St Palais sur Mer? Very discreet!
628
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:07,952
But Mr Trotsky has many visitors...
629
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,674
English and Belgian politicians...
630
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:12,671
German refugees, extreme leftists
631
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,235
Naturally...
who else would come here?
632
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,592
I mean they’re active leftists
633
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:21,158
I’m sure you know...
634
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,754
that a condition accepted
by Mr Trotsky...
635
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,672
when he was granted asylum...
636
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:29,117
was that he not get involved
in French politics
637
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,550
German refugees deal
with German politics
638
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:35,712
Yes, but they’re doing it in France
639
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,152
They need a German secretary
for a few days
640
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,516
I mentioned you... You’ll get it
641
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:45,628
I’ll take you there later
642
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,951
Do you go to the villa often?
643
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:49,230
What’s it like?
644
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:51,758
Have you read Dostoyevsky?
645
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,428
It’s just like a Dostoyevsky novel!
646
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:55,669
Trotsky and Natalia...
647
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,112
lead an austere, rich,
fascinating life!
648
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,476
And Malraux came for a visit
649
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,508
I wish I could have been there!
650
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,912
According to Rudolph...
651
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,351
they only discussed art,
movies, Poland...
652
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:25,034
the Red Army and Christianity!
653
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:30,071
Will Trotsky succeed?
654
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,950
Can he influence the Party?
655
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,198
That’s the question...
656
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,272
All his activity is aimed
at the Party
657
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,000
To influence the Party,
transform it...
658
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:42,957
restructure it
659
00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:47,910
Trotsky claims that
Stalin has betrayed the Revolution
660
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,958
But the Party is behind Stalin
661
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,476
So how can Trotsky have
any influence on it?
662
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:57,916
The Party opposes him
663
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:00,395
A contradiction...
664
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:01,834
Then why go on fighting?
665
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:04,398
Because nothing’s settled yet
666
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:51,429
No vacation, Bonny?
667
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:52,589
And you?
668
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,076
An appointment with the Director
669
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,835
at a beach... on a delicate mission!
670
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,877
I leave for Biarritz tomorrow
671
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,349
I’ll mix business and pleasure, too
672
01:01:03,520 --> 01:01:06,080
Chief-Inspector Gardet...
my respects
673
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,073
Chief-Inspector Bonny...
my regards
674
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,797
Borelli? Gauthier here...
675
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,197
Tell Alex the guy came to see me
676
01:01:53,079 --> 01:01:56,708
I recognized him right away,from the picture
677
01:01:57,239 --> 01:02:00,709
He tried to unload
the fake stones on me
678
01:02:00,999 --> 01:02:03,035
No, of course not
679
01:02:03,199 --> 01:02:06,714
I got rid of him
without letting on I’d noticed
680
01:02:07,559 --> 01:02:10,869
I simply said thatthe Bayonne Loan Office...
681
01:02:11,039 --> 01:02:13,712
couldn’t accept any more jewels
682
01:02:14,199 --> 01:02:17,191
Because we’d reachedthe limit set by regulation
683
01:02:30,599 --> 01:02:33,067
Doctor, someone wants to come in...
684
01:02:33,239 --> 01:02:34,911
Says he’s the patient’s lawyer
685
01:02:35,199 --> 01:02:36,234
Tell him to wait!
686
01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:39,396
Anyway, we’ve finished
687
01:02:41,639 --> 01:02:45,837
What does this mean?
You don’t need a lawyer here!
688
01:02:46,079 --> 01:02:49,276
Yes I do...
I don’t trust your diagnosis!
689
01:02:49,759 --> 01:02:51,636
I know what they do...
690
01:02:51,839 --> 01:02:55,070
Lock up a competitor!
Best way to get rid of him
691
01:02:56,079 --> 01:02:57,910
Naturally I have enemies!
692
01:02:58,199 --> 01:03:01,236
I’m trying to reform
the European monetary system
693
01:03:03,519 --> 01:03:07,512
Are they the same enemies
who stole the Eiffel Tower from you?
694
01:03:07,959 --> 01:03:11,031
See? You’re trying to make
me think I’m crazy...
695
01:03:11,839 --> 01:03:14,273
I never said they stole
the tower from me!
696
01:03:14,799 --> 01:03:17,188
They stole rights
I had paid a lot for...
697
01:03:17,799 --> 01:03:21,394
The Eiffel Tower
radio station advertising!
698
01:03:23,439 --> 01:03:26,590
But I’ll get the Eiffel Tower back
699
01:03:26,999 --> 01:03:28,751
Get dressed, we’ve finished
700
01:03:41,879 --> 01:03:45,838
I saw your patient in April 1931...
701
01:03:45,999 --> 01:03:49,992
Yes, and your first diagnosis
has certainly been confirmed
702
01:03:50,799 --> 01:03:54,838
Yes, a slowly evolving
general paralysis...
703
01:03:54,999 --> 01:03:57,354
with possible remissions
704
01:03:57,999 --> 01:04:00,274
Hence the persecution complex...
705
01:04:01,399 --> 01:04:02,718
Megalomania...
706
01:04:03,359 --> 01:04:06,795
We’ll continue your patented
malaria-therapy
707
01:04:10,439 --> 01:04:13,431
If you’ll step
into the waiting room...
708
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:16,508
with Mr Stavisky’s lawyer...
709
01:04:16,879 --> 01:04:19,598
I’ll prepare
the necessary certification
710
01:05:00,559 --> 01:05:02,117
Mysterious deaths interest you?
711
01:05:03,239 --> 01:05:05,799
Only the death of Loewenstein,
the banker
712
01:05:05,959 --> 01:05:08,996
He had a financial empire like mine
713
01:05:09,479 --> 01:05:11,674
Does his suicide bother you?
714
01:05:12,479 --> 01:05:15,437
You believe
that fantastic suicide story?
715
01:05:15,759 --> 01:05:17,795
Or that it was accidental?
716
01:05:18,079 --> 01:05:20,752
Disappearing out of a plane window...
717
01:05:20,919 --> 01:05:23,672
over the Channel! So easy to do...
718
01:05:24,079 --> 01:05:26,229
No, it was murder
719
01:05:28,119 --> 01:05:30,189
His competitors got rid of him
720
01:05:35,039 --> 01:05:36,677
You scare me, Alex
721
01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:41,668
I’m your doctor and your friend...
722
01:05:42,439 --> 01:05:44,634
You need to take a rest
723
01:05:44,959 --> 01:05:48,110
Leave Borelli and Grammont
in charge
724
01:05:48,399 --> 01:05:49,878
Go away with Arlette
725
01:05:50,159 --> 01:05:52,389
Go away... now?
726
01:05:53,479 --> 01:05:55,515
I’ve got CAGTRI all set!
727
01:05:55,839 --> 01:05:58,034
SIMA, S.A.P.E.P.,
la Foncière, Bayonne...
728
01:05:58,239 --> 01:05:59,149
all in hand!
729
01:05:59,399 --> 01:06:03,028
Isn’t it too much for one man?
Véricourt is worried...
730
01:06:03,319 --> 01:06:05,958
Is he? Just like Dr Pierre...
731
01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:10,347
It worked, lawyer!
732
01:06:14,959 --> 01:06:16,028
I’m mad...
733
01:06:16,199 --> 01:06:19,794
so I can’t appear in court tomorrow
734
01:06:23,599 --> 01:06:25,510
But the case isn’t dismissed!
735
01:06:25,759 --> 01:06:27,238
No, it isn’t
736
01:06:27,559 --> 01:06:30,471
You didn’t get me
the two million you promised
737
01:06:31,599 --> 01:06:34,067
Véricourt could have made the deal
738
01:06:34,679 --> 01:06:37,557
You’ve had since July
to get the money
739
01:06:40,239 --> 01:06:42,275
You know it’s been rough, Pierre
740
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:45,915
You’ve spent six million
in Deauville since July!
741
01:06:47,439 --> 01:06:50,317
You just throw your money away,
Sacha
742
01:06:54,519 --> 01:06:55,952
Deliver the envelopes, Laloy
743
01:06:56,239 --> 01:06:58,912
The Board of CAGTRI is waiting, sir
744
01:07:09,039 --> 01:07:11,189
It’s true,
I do throw my money away!
745
01:07:18,119 --> 01:07:18,756
Well...?
746
01:07:19,559 --> 01:07:22,835
He won’t listen.
He’s sick, Grammont
747
01:07:23,239 --> 01:07:25,594
I don’t give a damn if he’s sick!
748
01:07:25,759 --> 01:07:28,717
We must neutralize him!
Or we’ll go under with him!
749
01:07:29,999 --> 01:07:30,795
Is it that bad?
750
01:07:31,479 --> 01:07:32,468
He hasn’t a cent!
751
01:07:37,119 --> 01:07:39,349
Gentlemen, what is madness?
752
01:07:40,079 --> 01:07:42,991
It’s not my place
to define it for you
753
01:07:43,559 --> 01:07:46,710
But there’s no doubt
that Alexandre was sick
754
01:07:47,239 --> 01:07:48,592
Very sick...
755
01:07:49,759 --> 01:07:52,796
Your idea for absorbing
unemployment is brilliant
756
01:07:52,999 --> 01:07:54,273
Congratulations!
757
01:07:54,439 --> 01:07:58,318
Mayor, we’ll set the wheels
of economic expansion in motion!
758
01:07:58,479 --> 01:08:00,834
When will the stock
go on the market?
759
01:08:01,119 --> 01:08:03,872
Our basic fund,
the Hungarian bond issue...
760
01:08:04,039 --> 01:08:05,950
is guaranteed by treaty
761
01:08:06,119 --> 01:08:09,031
So the government decides when.
A matter of days...
762
01:08:09,199 --> 01:08:11,997
says the secretary-general
of Foreign Affairs
763
01:08:12,519 --> 01:08:15,511
I congratulate you, too,
but I confess...
764
01:08:15,679 --> 01:08:18,751
I know nothing about
international credit
765
01:08:18,919 --> 01:08:21,433
The Hungarian bonds are
a mystery to me!
766
01:08:21,759 --> 01:08:24,796
No need to understand, Baron.
Just trust me!
767
01:08:25,119 --> 01:08:27,633
But I do trust you, Sacha!
768
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,553
I can only give you five minutes,
I’m very busy...
769
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:41,316
His madness took this form...
770
01:08:41,480 --> 01:08:43,994
He wanted the world
to talk about him...
771
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:47,038
he should have wanted it
to forget him
772
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,395
I can’t buy, Van Straaten...
773
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:00,913
I should be selling
774
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,152
Just keep them
in a safe place for me
775
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,680
Make the best deal
you can for us both
776
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:09,878
Let’s see the merchandise
777
01:09:17,480 --> 01:09:19,471
No doubt their origin...
778
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,318
is a secret?
779
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,280
Maximum discretion, yes!
780
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,670
A royal Oriental family...
781
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:36,355
They don’t want any publicity
782
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:43,798
The Rosenkrantz necklace!
783
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,239
It vanished
when the seals were removed...
784
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,711
The heirs are searching for it
785
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:52,792
Anyone else will have
to wait to dump it
786
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:55,235
And one stone at a time, even then...
787
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,868
But I can pawn it in London
788
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,636
It’s risky, Mr Van Straaten
789
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:04,671
So I’ll keep the proceeds
790
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,915
You won’t get a commission
this time
791
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:15,999
Go to London tomorrow
792
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,269
My birthday...
793
01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:18,429
Will I get much?
794
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,716
With a million, I can hold out
795
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,632
See? I’m still lucky...
796
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,358
I must see you, Mr Alexandre!
797
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:27,714
On business...
798
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:32,548
I’ve invented a revolutionary
medical apparatus...
799
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:36,757
for examining pregnant women
800
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:39,753
The child’s sex and health
can be determined
801
01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,234
I call it a Matriscope
802
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,110
It works... it’s ready to go!
803
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:50,035
I thought you might like
the exclusive distribution rights
804
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,191
How much do you need to start?
805
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:54,398
Maybe 10,000 francs...
806
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,519
10,000 francs? That’s ridiculous!
807
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:00,959
How do you expect
to inspire confidence?
808
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,392
If the Matriscope works,
it’s worth millions!
809
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:07,632
If not, your story
still has to be credible
810
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,270
10,000 francs is... incredible!
811
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:13,230
Stop bothering Mr Alexandre
812
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,952
Nice name, Matriscope... I accept!
813
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,915
I’ll teach you
how to start a business...
814
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:49,237
A charming place...
815
01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:51,954
Is Sacha thinking of buying it?
816
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,236
It was here that Sacha’s father...
817
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,152
Shouldn’t I go find him?
818
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:00,959
Let him be alone...
819
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:03,599
That’s what he wants
820
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,279
I’m glad you’re back
from Rome, Montalvo
821
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,033
I wanted you here
for my husband’s birthday
822
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:54,591
We’re going for a little walk
823
01:13:58,360 --> 01:14:01,193
The funds will be
in your Swiss account by Christmas
824
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,270
May I ask how much of your money...
825
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:05,793
I’ll be holding?
826
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:07,638
One million pounds sterling
827
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:12,629
For a coup d’état?
That’s enough for a civil war!
828
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:16,313
Why not?
829
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,031
I’m getting old, Baron
830
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:46,794
What a party we had at the Empire
for my last birthday...
831
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:48,988
Remember?
832
01:14:50,440 --> 01:14:52,396
I have no zest for anything...
833
01:14:53,440 --> 01:14:57,194
Don’t I look like a shopkeeper,
taking his wife out...?
834
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,275
Not you, Sacha... Never!
835
01:15:00,440 --> 01:15:04,115
Yes, yes! Like a little shopkeeper...
836
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,909
I’d have a jewelry store...
837
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:15,399
at a posh resort
838
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:17,035
Why not?
839
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,034
At dusk, I’d stand in my doorway...
840
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:25,272
and no one would guess
that I once was Alexander the Great!
841
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:40,672
Am I wrong?
842
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:45,110
Sacha,
it’s that little German actress...
843
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,793
Don’t you remember?
You read with her...
844
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,111
You were the Specter
in Giraudoux’s Intermezzo
845
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:02,950
He’s allowed to reside in Barbizon...
846
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,472
so Trotsky’s feeling better.
He’s working again
847
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:08,799
Know what he says?
848
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:10,952
With the forest so close...
849
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:13,236
and working
with Communist League groups...
850
01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:17,432
reminds him of Russia
when he was young
851
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:19,752
When everything seemed possible...
852
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,196
you had only to invent it
853
01:17:23,480 --> 01:17:26,790
But sometimes he gets discouraged
854
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,353
The other day he suddenly said...
855
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,357
"Old age is
the most unexpected thing..."
856
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,636
"that ever happens to man"
857
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:41,632
That’s a happy thought!
858
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:45,392
Exile is never happy!
859
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,958
Whenever I think
about this sad story...
860
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,078
it’s as thougheveryone wore masks
861
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,869
Like Sacha:Alexandre-of-the-thousand-names...
862
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,078
And I always thinkof that day in November 1933
863
01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:01,953
Why does it haunt me?
864
01:18:05,039 --> 01:18:07,348
Perhaps because on that day...
865
01:18:07,759 --> 01:18:10,990
I had a premonition
of Alexandre’s end
866
01:18:12,399 --> 01:18:16,312
And yet, you had to know us
in those years...
867
01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,788
to know the real joy of living!
868
01:18:19,679 --> 01:18:22,955
We were all Alexandre’s age...
869
01:18:23,639 --> 01:18:26,073
we basked in Arlette’s beauty
870
01:18:27,599 --> 01:18:31,353
It’s so painful
to imagine her today...
871
01:18:31,519 --> 01:18:34,113
in the sordid world of a prison
872
01:18:34,759 --> 01:18:37,273
Her beauty warmed our hearts
873
01:18:38,079 --> 01:18:40,832
There is a store
in Biarritz, gentlemen...
874
01:18:41,639 --> 01:18:44,676
whose name symbolizes
that period for me...
875
01:18:45,279 --> 01:18:47,031
Biarritz-Bonheur...
Biarritz happiness
876
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:54,108
I must remind the witness
of where he is!
877
01:18:54,839 --> 01:18:58,275
This Parliamentary Committee
is investigating...
878
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:02,273
a scandal that resulted
in rioting and death on Feb. 6th...
879
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,953
leading France
to the brink of civil war
880
01:19:05,119 --> 01:19:08,589
Your testimony has certainly
been colorful...
881
01:19:08,839 --> 01:19:11,353
but what about the sordid aspects?
882
01:19:11,599 --> 01:19:13,430
This is the truth as I know it
883
01:19:13,959 --> 01:19:15,836
You say you are telling the truth
884
01:19:15,999 --> 01:19:19,196
I remind you that
you have sworn to do so
885
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,868
Now permit us
to ask you some questions
886
01:19:22,559 --> 01:19:27,030
You first met Alexandre at
the Biarritz Casino in April 1931...
887
01:19:28,279 --> 01:19:31,430
You met him at the Casino...
888
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,999
Hadn’t you ever heard
that he was indexed?
889
01:19:35,199 --> 01:19:37,997
Banned from every Casino in France
at the time?
890
01:19:38,239 --> 01:19:39,638
Never, sir!
891
01:19:40,119 --> 01:19:43,395
And I find it hard to believe,
even today
892
01:19:43,919 --> 01:19:46,797
Because for over two years
I saw him...
893
01:19:46,959 --> 01:19:48,551
in Cannes, Biarritz, Deauville...
894
01:19:48,719 --> 01:19:52,314
The Casino inspectors
all greeted him cordially
895
01:19:52,599 --> 01:19:55,033
I saw Alexandre play baccarat...
896
01:19:55,199 --> 01:19:58,111
with well-known businessmen
and politicians
897
01:19:58,279 --> 01:20:00,429
They treated him as an equal!
898
01:20:01,119 --> 01:20:03,349
That’s why it’s hard to believe!
899
01:20:05,599 --> 01:20:08,193
That was in April 1931...
900
01:20:09,279 --> 01:20:10,678
Exactly when he started...
901
01:20:11,359 --> 01:20:13,953
the Bayonne Loan Office operation...
902
01:20:14,119 --> 01:20:16,872
flooding France with fake vouchers
903
01:20:17,119 --> 01:20:18,393
Did you know about it?
904
01:20:21,319 --> 01:20:22,752
Nothing at all
905
01:20:23,159 --> 01:20:26,276
I first heard about it
three months ago...
906
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:28,509
when the scandal erupted
907
01:20:29,039 --> 01:20:31,348
Try to understand, gentlemen
908
01:20:32,159 --> 01:20:34,878
Life isn’t like the theater
909
01:20:35,159 --> 01:20:37,115
On stage, we see everything
910
01:20:37,279 --> 01:20:41,477
But I’m like Fabrice at Waterloo
in Stendhal’s novel...
911
01:20:42,719 --> 01:20:46,155
I only know one small piece
of this Chinese puzzle
912
01:20:47,679 --> 01:20:51,558
Mr Raoul, we can’t finish
with your testimony today
913
01:20:52,319 --> 01:20:55,709
We will notify you
when to appear again
914
01:21:21,559 --> 01:21:23,311
Inspector Gardet
915
01:21:25,599 --> 01:21:29,387
TROTSKY SHOULD NOT BE SENT
TO CORSICA
916
01:21:29,959 --> 01:21:33,156
The agitator Trotskyresides only 40 miles from Paris
917
01:21:34,879 --> 01:21:37,268
Staviskian crooks have a free hand
918
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:39,953
Bolshevik rabble do as they please
919
01:21:41,359 --> 01:21:43,668
It is time for the Government...
920
01:21:43,839 --> 01:21:46,353
to mop up this international scum
921
01:21:47,879 --> 01:21:49,278
What was the date?
922
01:21:49,599 --> 01:21:52,033
The end of November 1933
923
01:21:53,399 --> 01:21:56,630
I was summoned by the Directorof the Bureau of Investigation
924
01:21:56,799 --> 01:21:58,551
I had been an another case
925
01:21:59,359 --> 01:22:01,350
He handed me a note...
926
01:22:01,639 --> 01:22:04,949
"Serge Alexandre,28 Place St Georges..."
927
01:22:05,759 --> 01:22:08,910
"C.A.G.T.R.I."
928
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,516
"Urgent that you investigatethis individual..."
929
01:22:14,079 --> 01:22:16,957
"per requestof Foreign Affairs Minister"
930
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,869
I started with the Files sectionof our division
931
01:22:22,359 --> 01:22:25,590
I established that Serge Alexandrewas Stavisky
932
01:22:25,759 --> 01:22:27,590
Yes, Handsome Sacha!
933
01:22:27,999 --> 01:22:30,308
He’s called Serge Alexandre now?
934
01:22:33,999 --> 01:22:36,911
"Alexandre, Serge... see Stavisky"
935
01:22:37,199 --> 01:22:39,667
"Alexandre-Sacha,
also known as Alex,
936
01:22:39,839 --> 01:22:42,956
Jean Sacha, Doisy de Monty..."
937
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:48,433
"and Victor Boitel,
born November 20, 1886 at Sobodka..."
938
01:22:48,599 --> 01:22:50,874
"State of Kiev, Russia"
939
01:22:51,039 --> 01:22:52,518
Which section has his file?
940
01:22:53,919 --> 01:22:57,309
No section!
It’s a very special file...
941
01:22:57,999 --> 01:22:59,398
It’s kept locked up
942
01:22:59,559 --> 01:23:03,108
Takes an OK from the
Assistant Director to look at it
943
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:08,313
You’re in for a lot
of surprises, Inspector!
944
01:23:09,199 --> 01:23:12,111
I went in search of the file...
945
01:23:12,399 --> 01:23:15,516
Finally I was told: "Bonny has it"
946
01:23:15,799 --> 01:23:18,074
I went to see Chief-Inspector Bonny
947
01:23:18,759 --> 01:23:20,715
He had the file
948
01:23:21,199 --> 01:23:24,396
I told him Foreign Affairswanted a report
949
01:23:24,639 --> 01:23:27,028
Bonny knew the file well
950
01:23:27,639 --> 01:23:30,073
He showed me a 1926 police report
951
01:23:30,239 --> 01:23:33,436
Alexandre was already describedas a crook...
952
01:23:33,599 --> 01:23:36,750
a typical confidence man
953
01:23:37,199 --> 01:23:40,987
Did Inspector Bonny tell you
why he had the file?
954
01:23:42,399 --> 01:23:43,388
Didn’t you ask him?
955
01:23:43,639 --> 01:23:46,676
No, I had no particular reason
to be interested
956
01:23:48,319 --> 01:23:51,550
Why are you so interested
in this file, Bonny?
957
01:23:51,879 --> 01:23:55,997
Or rather... against whom
do you want to use the information?
958
01:23:56,359 --> 01:23:58,793
That depends on the next elections...
959
01:23:59,359 --> 01:24:02,988
If the Right wins, this files
implicates the Radical-Socialists
960
01:24:04,199 --> 01:24:06,588
But if the Radicals stay in office...
961
01:24:06,759 --> 01:24:09,478
two Chiefs, Sûreté and Police,
are mine!
962
01:24:10,079 --> 01:24:13,196
I can sink them...
They’re in it up to their necks
963
01:24:13,359 --> 01:24:16,237
Like Alexandre, I’m hedging my bets
964
01:24:16,399 --> 01:24:20,074
Watch out, Bonny...
you’re not invulnerable
965
01:24:20,879 --> 01:24:23,268
Bonny must have made a report, too
966
01:24:23,439 --> 01:24:26,078
But I never heard about it.
I went...
967
01:24:26,319 --> 01:24:28,435
to 28 Place St Georges...
968
01:24:28,599 --> 01:24:30,954
I learned that Borelliwas probably...
969
01:24:31,159 --> 01:24:33,150
the director of C.A.G.T.R.I.
970
01:24:35,119 --> 01:24:37,997
I also found out whothe Board members were
971
01:24:38,159 --> 01:24:40,798
Was Baron Raoul...
972
01:24:41,279 --> 01:24:42,837
on the Board of Directors?
973
01:24:42,999 --> 01:24:44,352
Yes he was
974
01:24:44,999 --> 01:24:46,990
Then I went to the Claridge...
975
01:24:47,279 --> 01:24:50,032
to see if Stavisky still lived there
976
01:24:50,239 --> 01:24:52,275
I returned to the Sûreté...
977
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,555
I turned in my report there
978
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,589
I took a copy to Mr de la Salle...
979
01:24:57,759 --> 01:24:59,397
at Foreign Affairs
980
01:24:59,559 --> 01:25:01,629
And my mission ended there
981
01:25:01,799 --> 01:25:05,075
So on November 22, 1933,the Foreign Affairs office...
982
01:25:05,239 --> 01:25:08,675
was fully informedas to Alexandre’s character?
983
01:25:09,159 --> 01:25:09,909
That’s right, sir
984
01:25:10,279 --> 01:25:12,349
Was any action taken on your report?
985
01:25:14,159 --> 01:25:17,276
I don’t know...
No legal action, at any rate
986
01:25:17,959 --> 01:25:19,551
That’s the last I heard of it
987
01:25:31,359 --> 01:25:33,190
La Salle! What a surprise...
988
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:37,074
Let’s say that I’m here...
unofficially
989
01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:39,433
May I come in?
990
01:25:39,599 --> 01:25:41,874
It’s Sunday... the servants are off
991
01:25:42,039 --> 01:25:43,995
And the furnace has broken down
992
01:25:52,119 --> 01:25:54,997
So it would be best
if you quit the Board
993
01:25:55,159 --> 01:25:57,593
The Government isn’t going
to guarantee...
994
01:25:57,759 --> 01:26:00,637
the Hungarian bonds for CAGTRI
995
01:26:02,519 --> 01:26:05,556
Please don’t explain it to me...
996
01:26:05,719 --> 01:26:08,279
I won’t understand.
I only accepted out of friendship
997
01:26:09,239 --> 01:26:11,833
You should choose your friends
more wisely!
998
01:26:12,319 --> 01:26:15,834
I repeat:
Alexandre is not respectable
999
01:26:16,199 --> 01:26:18,872
He’s not even French...
He has no fixed abode
1000
01:26:19,119 --> 01:26:21,155
So I’m not even French!
1001
01:26:21,319 --> 01:26:22,752
No fixed abode!
1002
01:26:22,919 --> 01:26:26,468
If you don’t live
in a century-old family mansion...
1003
01:26:26,639 --> 01:26:28,436
you’re a gypsy!
1004
01:26:30,599 --> 01:26:32,396
My voter’s registration...
1005
01:26:33,639 --> 01:26:34,628
Army discharge...
1006
01:26:34,799 --> 01:26:37,074
I want you to look at them!
1007
01:26:37,279 --> 01:26:38,997
Then tell Mr de la Salle...
1008
01:26:39,879 --> 01:26:43,189
Do you want to check
my police record?
1009
01:26:45,079 --> 01:26:46,956
I’m embarrassed, Sacha...
1010
01:26:48,839 --> 01:26:52,388
But don’t you need
the Government guarantee?
1011
01:26:52,959 --> 01:26:54,597
I’ll see the Minister!
1012
01:26:54,759 --> 01:26:56,829
Véricourt’s a friend of his...
1013
01:27:10,679 --> 01:27:14,149
These voucher numbers are missing...
Why?
1014
01:27:14,639 --> 01:27:17,199
Because the vouchers are fakes!
1015
01:27:17,519 --> 01:27:20,033
So you must have faked them!
1016
01:27:21,879 --> 01:27:25,315
If I were you, Mr Tax Inspector,
I’d forget it
1017
01:27:25,479 --> 01:27:28,915
The scandal’s too big,
it’ll crush you...
1018
01:27:30,439 --> 01:27:33,829
Today’s Friday,
Sunday is Christmas...
1019
01:27:34,719 --> 01:27:38,268
Think it over...
Go see the Deputy-Mayor
1020
01:27:49,879 --> 01:27:52,393
Look at the elections in Spain!
1021
01:27:52,559 --> 01:27:56,347
We need a National Bloc
to rule without parliament...
1022
01:27:56,519 --> 01:27:58,828
supported by professional people
1023
01:27:58,999 --> 01:28:03,390
Men of integrity, veteran soldiers,
in all the key posts!
1024
01:28:04,199 --> 01:28:06,918
That’s what the play
we’re seeing tonight is about
1025
01:28:07,079 --> 01:28:10,116
Did Shakespeare support
the National Bloc?
1026
01:28:10,399 --> 01:28:12,913
Is he one of your Rightist friends?
1027
01:28:13,199 --> 01:28:15,349
All right, Sacha, have your fun
1028
01:28:15,519 --> 01:28:19,751
But Coriolanus really is
a violent attack...
1029
01:28:20,279 --> 01:28:22,190
on parliamentary government
1030
01:28:26,799 --> 01:28:30,235
Arlette,
that white ermine is ravishing!
1031
01:28:30,999 --> 01:28:34,036
You herald winter’s
immaculate snows...
1032
01:28:34,399 --> 01:28:37,357
I go to Madrid tomorrow,
the deal is closed
1033
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,869
The million pounds will
be deposited by next week
1034
01:29:01,919 --> 01:29:05,070
"No, take more!
There where worship is double..."
1035
01:29:06,559 --> 01:29:09,153
"There where gentry,
title, wisdom..."
1036
01:29:09,319 --> 01:29:11,071
"cannot conclude..."
1037
01:29:11,239 --> 01:29:13,707
"but by the Yea and No
of general ignorance..."
1038
01:29:14,159 --> 01:29:17,196
"There, necessities give way
to slightness"
1039
01:29:17,359 --> 01:29:19,475
"There... disorder reigns!"
1040
01:29:23,279 --> 01:29:26,555
"The multitudinous tongue
mangles true judgment"
1041
01:29:26,839 --> 01:29:29,114
"The State is bereaved of integrity"
1042
01:29:29,279 --> 01:29:31,235
"Nothing is done to purpose"
1043
01:29:31,399 --> 01:29:33,594
"The State must needs collapse"
1044
01:29:33,759 --> 01:29:37,274
"You patricians and senators
who love Rome..."
1045
01:29:40,239 --> 01:29:41,513
Bayonne is finished...
1046
01:29:43,159 --> 01:29:44,797
Gauthier’s in jail
1047
01:29:47,279 --> 01:29:47,995
He talked?
1048
01:29:48,159 --> 01:29:50,354
He’ll name you sooner or later
1049
01:29:52,159 --> 01:29:55,196
Meet Grammont and Véricourt
at the Empire later
1050
01:29:57,039 --> 01:29:58,711
Avoid the Claridge
1051
01:29:59,719 --> 01:30:01,789
Burn the papers at the office
1052
01:30:02,399 --> 01:30:05,118
I’ll try to find Inspector Boussaud
1053
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:07,674
"Abolish the people’s Tribunes!"
1054
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:47,513
You have 3 days...
1055
01:30:47,759 --> 01:30:49,989
thanks to the Christmas Holidays
1056
01:30:50,199 --> 01:30:50,949
He must go!
1057
01:30:51,119 --> 01:30:53,997
If we keep the lid on,
he’s had a vacation
1058
01:30:54,199 --> 01:30:55,598
If not... it’s safer
1059
01:30:55,759 --> 01:30:59,388
Here, he might be indiscreet...
I’ll get him out of Paris
1060
01:30:59,559 --> 01:31:00,833
Where to?
1061
01:31:00,999 --> 01:31:02,910
An employee’s place near Chamonix
1062
01:31:03,919 --> 01:31:07,468
His name’s Laloy,
Alexandre’s office messenger
1063
01:31:07,839 --> 01:31:11,070
He can be convinced...
He’s had trouble with the law
1064
01:31:35,919 --> 01:31:37,989
You’ve known Alexandre longest...
1065
01:31:38,159 --> 01:31:39,194
What will he do?
1066
01:31:39,599 --> 01:31:41,829
I hardly know Serge Alexandre
1067
01:31:43,199 --> 01:31:44,996
I know Stavisky...
1068
01:31:45,159 --> 01:31:49,277
A small-time crook,
a charming con man...
1069
01:31:50,399 --> 01:31:52,230
one of my informers
1070
01:31:52,519 --> 01:31:54,316
Good at laundering money...
1071
01:31:55,599 --> 01:31:58,352
Stavisky would leave with Arlette
1072
01:31:59,399 --> 01:32:01,196
He’d start all over
1073
01:32:02,039 --> 01:32:05,111
But Alexandre? I just don’t know...
1074
01:32:09,039 --> 01:32:11,394
This is mostly your own fault
1075
01:32:11,559 --> 01:32:13,197
I warned you...
1076
01:32:13,359 --> 01:32:15,668
Lately you’ve mismanaged everything
1077
01:32:15,879 --> 01:32:17,358
You threw money away!
1078
01:32:17,759 --> 01:32:20,227
I threw it away on all of you!
1079
01:32:22,919 --> 01:32:26,195
Where’s Véricourt?
The honorable Deputy!
1080
01:32:27,399 --> 01:32:30,357
I financed his whole campaign
last year...
1081
01:32:30,599 --> 01:32:32,157
He’s my deputy!
1082
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:35,031
Is he letting me down?
1083
01:32:35,559 --> 01:32:37,993
We’re all going to let you down, Alex
1084
01:32:38,919 --> 01:32:40,830
We won’t know you any more
1085
01:32:41,039 --> 01:32:44,349
We’ll say we saw you once,
in a restaurant...
1086
01:32:45,839 --> 01:32:47,830
Know what else we’ll say?
1087
01:32:48,199 --> 01:32:50,838
That it’s really not
very surprising...
1088
01:32:51,399 --> 01:32:54,072
You should never trust foreigners...
1089
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:55,952
refugees...
1090
01:32:57,119 --> 01:32:57,790
Jews
1091
01:33:07,039 --> 01:33:08,472
Isn’t that right, Baron?
1092
01:33:10,319 --> 01:33:14,073
I’m your friend, Sacha,
no matter what happens
1093
01:33:16,319 --> 01:33:18,230
But you lied to me
1094
01:33:20,119 --> 01:33:21,313
A pity!
1095
01:33:44,199 --> 01:33:45,029
Anyone here?
1096
01:33:49,159 --> 01:33:50,990
Over here, Mr Véricourt
1097
01:33:55,199 --> 01:33:57,190
It’s finished, Alexandre
1098
01:33:58,079 --> 01:33:59,512
The show’s over...
1099
01:34:00,479 --> 01:34:02,629
Be in Chamonix in three days
1100
01:34:03,559 --> 01:34:04,992
Wait for instructions
1101
01:34:05,439 --> 01:34:08,556
If I stay here,
I can turn the tide in a week...
1102
01:34:09,519 --> 01:34:11,157
I’ll have a million pounds
1103
01:34:11,399 --> 01:34:13,959
In a week every cop in France...
1104
01:34:14,119 --> 01:34:15,393
will be after you!
1105
01:34:15,719 --> 01:34:17,596
How can they come after me?
1106
01:34:17,879 --> 01:34:20,109
I’ve wined, dined and bribed them
1107
01:34:20,279 --> 01:34:22,190
Had them on Boards of Directors...
1108
01:34:22,639 --> 01:34:23,674
They wouldn’t dare!
1109
01:34:37,719 --> 01:34:38,913
My name’s Alexandre...
1110
01:34:39,759 --> 01:34:42,034
I’m not a mute,
I can tell what I know!
1111
01:35:46,199 --> 01:35:48,155
I’m terribly sorry, Arlette
1112
01:35:48,359 --> 01:35:52,352
It’s Christmas...
the potential customers are away
1113
01:35:53,039 --> 01:35:55,234
In Monte Carlo, St Moritz...
1114
01:35:55,719 --> 01:35:58,757
I’ll bring you the balance
in a few days
1115
01:36:06,240 --> 01:36:10,472
So Alexander the Great ends
the way little Sacha began...
1116
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,114
Letting women get him out of trouble
1117
01:36:28,560 --> 01:36:30,596
He’s just getting even with me
1118
01:36:30,760 --> 01:36:33,752
I stung him on the Rosenkrantz jewels
1119
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:38,838
Don’t leave me, Sacha!
1120
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,950
Let’s go away together.
Venezuela... anywhere!
1121
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:47,875
Sure, Venezuela!
We’ll open a French restaurant...
1122
01:36:48,240 --> 01:36:51,118
Or a dress shop: Au Chic Parisien
1123
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:53,193
Or I’ll peddle your charms...
1124
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:55,870
If we stay together, we’re safe
1125
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,630
We’ll be together soon,
Véricourt promised to fix it
1126
01:37:12,480 --> 01:37:14,118
The car’s ready, Alex
1127
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:30,195
What’s that?
1128
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:31,998
Mr Alexandre’s carnations
1129
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:36,592
If he ever comes back here,
he’ll wear handcuffs, not carnations!
1130
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:44,795
Happy? Your time has finally come
1131
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:48,758
But remember, Bonny...
1132
01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,640
For your own sake,
proceed with caution
1133
01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:53,552
You know the rules...
1134
01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,996
The Stavisky scandal
only incriminates the Republic
1135
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:59,788
The comrades’ Republic is corrupt
1136
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,790
You can smear the Deputies,
the Cabinet members...
1137
01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:06,674
the Left Coalition Ministers...
1138
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:08,513
But leave us out of it!
1139
01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:11,514
But the Chief of Police is part of it
1140
01:39:11,680 --> 01:39:13,079
So what can I do?
1141
01:39:13,360 --> 01:39:15,032
Whatever you want, Bonny!
1142
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,949
But if you involve the Police
or the Sûreté, we’ll break you!
1143
01:39:22,680 --> 01:39:26,309
On January 18th,
the Assistant Director sent for me
1144
01:39:27,160 --> 01:39:30,311
By order of the Director,
I was to drop the case
1145
01:39:32,120 --> 01:39:33,917
January 24th, I was suspended
1146
01:39:34,160 --> 01:39:36,071
So January 12th you report...
1147
01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:39,755
Police Chief Chiappe’s
connection with Stavisky
1148
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:43,630
The 18th, you are warned...
The 24th, you are suspended
1149
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:45,029
That’s right, sir
1150
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:48,357
So the Police Chief s name
in a Sûreté report...
1151
01:39:48,520 --> 01:39:49,748
is cause for suspension
1152
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:52,951
No comment...
1153
01:39:59,320 --> 01:40:01,788
You’ll have to wait, Baron...
1154
01:40:02,480 --> 01:40:05,870
Ex-Inspector Bonny is testifying
1155
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:26,918
WAITING FOR MR TROTSKY TO LEAVE
1156
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:40,632
Until another country
grants Mr Trotsky a visa...
1157
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:44,715
he is ordered to move
at least 200 miles from Paris
1158
01:40:46,160 --> 01:40:48,230
In view of the Feb. 6th riots...
1159
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,198
the Government wishes
to reduce tensions
1160
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:53,198
Your proximity to Paris...
1161
01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:55,635
goads both Right and Left extremists
1162
01:40:55,880 --> 01:40:57,871
I am to accompany you
1163
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:24,078
They’re going to deport Trotsky
1164
01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:29,077
Just when France must fight
against fascism
1165
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,318
Trotsky won’t be here...
1166
01:41:31,480 --> 01:41:33,596
The Left will splinter without him
1167
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:36,558
And to think that
it’s all Stavisky’s fault!
1168
01:41:36,720 --> 01:41:37,869
I don’t see that
1169
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:39,917
No Stavisky... no February 6th
1170
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,992
No fascist riots forcing
Daladier to resign...
1171
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:44,912
no National Union government
1172
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:48,197
No National Union...
no deportation of Trotsky
1173
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:50,271
Therefore, without Stavisky...
1174
01:41:50,680 --> 01:41:54,639
You knew your husband’s
psychology well...
1175
01:41:55,320 --> 01:41:57,788
Was he likely to commit suicide?
1176
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:00,510
He had periods of depression
1177
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:02,638
Long periods, sometimes...
1178
01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,270
So you did not find
the idea of suicide incredible?
1179
01:42:06,480 --> 01:42:08,516
It was a possibility?
1180
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:13,389
When I went to Chamonix,
I was sure it was suicide
1181
01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:17,754
Now, there have been
so many rumors...
1182
01:42:18,480 --> 01:42:20,118
I’m not sure any more
1183
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:23,638
But they separated us...
1184
01:42:23,880 --> 01:42:26,155
They destroyed his will to live!
1185
01:43:12,920 --> 01:43:14,433
It’s me, boss
1186
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,756
Got a cake... Who’ll be King?
1187
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:24,558
It’s Twelfth-night
1188
01:43:34,720 --> 01:43:36,597
Those pious hypocrites!
1189
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:38,319
La Liberté...
1190
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,191
That "liberty" cost me plenty!
1191
01:43:42,160 --> 01:43:44,230
My checks didn’t hurt their scruples
1192
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:47,148
That’s life,
Mr Alexandre... not very pretty
1193
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:50,275
Go and get tickets to Paris
1194
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,030
Paris means prison, Mr Alexandre!
1195
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:54,918
Isn’t this a prison?
1196
01:43:55,080 --> 01:43:56,513
We’ll take the night train
1197
01:43:56,680 --> 01:43:58,193
Tomorrow morning,
I’ll hold a press conference
1198
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:00,954
I’m going to blow
the whole mess wide open!
1199
01:44:03,120 --> 01:44:07,238
I’ll broadcast from the Eiffel Tower!
All France will be listening
1200
01:44:07,480 --> 01:44:08,230
But Mr Véricourt...
1201
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:15,394
We’ll see what Mr Véricourt
has to say!
1202
01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:17,312
The Minister’s office?
1203
01:44:19,240 --> 01:44:21,515
Ah, it’s you! Véricourt here...
1204
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,912
Yes, I have the information...
It’s Chamonix
1205
01:44:28,280 --> 01:44:30,953
The telephone number is 319
1206
01:44:34,120 --> 01:44:37,476
If he thinks it’s hopeless,
he just might shoot himself
1207
01:44:41,360 --> 01:44:43,920
Yes... it runs in the family,
as you say!
1208
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:48,189
Yes, he’s armed, of course
1209
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,240
Goodbye...
My respects to the Minister
1210
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:13,039
I was in a worse spot than this...
1211
01:45:13,400 --> 01:45:15,470
when I invented
the Bayonne vouchers!
1212
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,754
I never have understood
how that worked...
1213
01:45:19,920 --> 01:45:21,239
Nothing to it
1214
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:24,071
We duplicated vouchers...
1215
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:26,879
Say there’s a real one
for 100 francs...
1216
01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:30,988
We’d use the duplicate...
same number, signed and stamped
1217
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:33,592
But with a higher figure...
1218
01:45:33,800 --> 01:45:36,394
20,000 francs...
100,000... a million!
1219
01:45:37,440 --> 01:45:38,714
We were minting money...
1220
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:40,950
I was the State!
1221
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:45,115
I have to go down to the Village...
1222
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:48,039
To get the train tickets
1223
01:46:24,760 --> 01:46:27,991
BAYONNE MUNICIPAL LOAN OFFICE
SCANDAL
1224
01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:30,390
DOMINATED BY STAVISKY CASE
1225
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:31,157
STAVISKY TRACKED DOWN
IN CHAMONIX, SHOOTS HIMSELF
1226
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:33,591
GOVERNMENT
GETS RID OF STAVISKY,
1227
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:35,273
HAS HIM SHOT IN CHAMONIX
1228
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,837
STAVISKY SUICIDE...
SHOT POINT-BLANK
1229
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,878
STAVISKY’S MYSTERIOUS SUICIDE
ADDS TO SCANDAL
1230
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:57,514
Arlette in prison...
1231
01:48:59,800 --> 01:49:03,509
So many guilty ones free...
That’s the real scandal!
1232
01:49:03,800 --> 01:49:05,916
They’ll hold her till the trial...
1233
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:07,559
to keep her from talking
1234
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:11,193
They think she knows
Alexandre’s secrets
1235
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:15,233
Alexandre’s only real secret was her
1236
01:49:16,440 --> 01:49:17,793
Arlette...
1237
01:49:20,080 --> 01:49:22,275
What I like about death...
1238
01:49:22,440 --> 01:49:24,271
is the lethargy
1239
01:49:24,800 --> 01:49:28,236
That dense and sluggish fluidity
of death...
1240
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:31,552
which means that there are no dead...
1241
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:34,353
only the drowned
1242
01:49:34,560 --> 01:49:36,198
What are you saying?
1243
01:49:36,720 --> 01:49:40,395
It’s the Specter,
in Giraudoux’s Intermezzo
1244
01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:42,671
Alexandre’s finest role...
1245
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,270
Imagine how he’d laugh to see...
1246
01:49:45,440 --> 01:49:48,637
the passions,
deaths and hatreds he’s unleashed
1247
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:51,671
I understood too late...
1248
01:49:51,880 --> 01:49:55,031
Stavisky was the herald of death
1249
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:56,999
Not only his own...
1250
01:49:57,160 --> 01:49:59,355
Not only those in February...
1251
01:49:59,800 --> 01:50:01,597
But the death of an era!94164
