(SINGING)
3
00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:23,540
In the cold North Sea, the sun burns
too far away for a Scandinavian heart
4
00:04:23,542 --> 00:04:25,283
yearning for warmer climes.
5
00:04:26,833 --> 00:04:31,202
But a mackerel sky means good weather ahead
and a voyage under sail,
6
00:04:31,208 --> 00:04:33,870
into the blue seas of the Mediterranean.
7
00:04:34,917 --> 00:04:38,831
To twenty young sailor's cadets,
who have worked all year
8
00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:40,665
and want a seamen's holiday.
9
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:48,828
They wait on board the Viking a training
ship of the Swedish merchant marine
10
00:04:48,833 --> 00:04:52,076
that has been home to them
and a hard taskmaster.
11
00:04:56,792 --> 00:05:02,162
Twenty teenagers, Norse, Swedes, Danes
and Germans, they have a dream in common.
12
00:05:03,875 --> 00:05:07,948
On graduation day, they were chosen
for operation "big in"
13
00:05:07,958 --> 00:05:11,826
to sail the three-masted schooner
they haven't yet seen,
14
00:05:11,833 --> 00:05:15,280
from Goteborger harbor into
the Mediterranean.
15
00:05:20,625 --> 00:05:22,787
Ahoi, the Flying Clipper is here.
16
00:05:23,375 --> 00:05:26,913
- Ahoi. -Ahoi. -Ahoi. -Ahoi.
17
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,288
Yes, that's the ship, the Flying Clipper.
18
00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:44,782
American design, English build
and bound with a golden horn.
19
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:53,823
She is under way at last,
the captain calls all hands.
20
00:09:54,125 --> 00:09:56,366
The boys jump toward with a will.
21
00:09:57,167 --> 00:10:01,161
Captain Skoglund wants to leave
the harbor under full sail.
22
00:10:01,375 --> 00:10:03,867
These young men are kings of the sea,
23
00:10:03,875 --> 00:10:06,947
Vikings, and they're proud
of that fact today.
24
00:10:13,458 --> 00:10:15,495
Hey, the shot pull off first.
25
00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:23,206
Now get ready.
26
00:10:24,500 --> 00:10:28,198
Oh hey, oh hey, oh hey, oh hey
oh hey, oh hey, oh hey...
27
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:36,368
Out we are bound every pose echoes
the spirit of a thousand shanties
28
00:10:36,375 --> 00:10:39,333
sailors have sung
at the start of a voyage.
29
00:10:44,625 --> 00:10:47,583
(SHANTY SINGING)
30
00:12:28,083 --> 00:12:33,157
The way and the Vick of the great
adventures who explored these seas
31
00:12:33,333 --> 00:12:37,406
before them, the famed ones Magellan and
Columbus and the unnamed ones
32
00:12:37,417 --> 00:12:38,703
like newt and trigg.
33
00:12:42,875 --> 00:12:46,743
Off their watch at four bells,
ten o'clock to land lovers
34
00:12:47,125 --> 00:12:51,323
and below for a well-earned cup of java
flavored with salt air.
35
00:12:52,458 --> 00:12:57,532
The ship is run with a firm hand.
Its four hours on watch and four hours off
36
00:12:57,708 --> 00:13:00,120
and have some shuteye while you can.
37
00:13:01,958 --> 00:13:07,328
Captain Skoglund is descended from a line
of men who have always followed the sea,
38
00:13:07,333 --> 00:13:08,789
as will his children.
39
00:13:16,583 --> 00:13:20,702
He reads his way across the seas
by latitudes and longitudes
40
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:22,415
and the stars in the sky.
41
00:13:31,458 --> 00:13:35,122
The Captain charts a course
that will take them down the Skagerrak
42
00:13:35,125 --> 00:13:39,790
through the North Sea into
the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay
43
00:13:39,792 --> 00:13:44,741
around Cape Finisterre heading south
for Nazaré on the course to Portugal
44
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:47,037
where he will take on fresh water.
45
00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:56,700
A favoring wind fills the fourteen thousand
square feet of canvas above deck
46
00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:58,198
of the Flying Clipper.
47
00:14:04,542 --> 00:14:09,207
At Nazaré the crew expects to find
the familiar Portuguese fisherman.
48
00:14:10,375 --> 00:14:12,662
But Nazaré has a surprise for them.
49
00:14:21,250 --> 00:14:26,450
The menfolk wear brightly colored plaid
shirts like the skirts of their women.
50
00:14:28,125 --> 00:14:31,789
The black shawled women wear
gold crescent moon earrings.
51
00:14:33,083 --> 00:14:36,951
Nazaré, where the fisherman's wife's
hold a heavy net in.
52
00:14:38,833 --> 00:14:43,248
Where fishermen rest a living from the sea
with bare hands
53
00:14:43,250 --> 00:14:45,207
and the courage of necessity.
54
00:14:45,875 --> 00:14:49,948
In Nazaré the people are always
on the beach and everyone
55
00:14:49,958 --> 00:14:54,498
in the family lends a hand and bright
eyes watch for sardine shoals.
56
00:14:57,208 --> 00:15:02,624
Eyes as bright as the yearly painted boats
with their high curved Venetian bows.
57
00:15:07,708 --> 00:15:11,121
Yes, the people of Nazaré are
the early Venetians;
58
00:15:12,083 --> 00:15:15,906
they labor endlessly to live
from the harvest of the sea.
59
00:15:17,292 --> 00:15:21,206
But they enjoy the challenge
for they are the descendants
60
00:15:21,208 --> 00:15:24,826
of the greatest seafaring people
of the ancient world.
61
00:16:05,083 --> 00:16:09,327
The friend of the fisherman watches
over the harbor of Lisbon.
62
00:16:09,958 --> 00:16:12,666
He watches over the Fernando de Gloria.
63
00:16:14,792 --> 00:16:19,491
The eighteen-century men of war lay
unwanted many years in the harbor.
64
00:16:22,292 --> 00:16:27,742
But now she is an orphanage for the sons
of sailors, and fisherman's lost at sea.
65
00:16:29,583 --> 00:16:34,657
They learn of their forbearers, Vasco
de Gamma who discovered the sea route
66
00:16:34,667 --> 00:16:39,161
to east India and Magellan, the first man
to sail around the world.
67
00:16:41,333 --> 00:16:45,406
So, they welcome the sons of Eric the Red
as fellow sailors
68
00:16:45,417 --> 00:16:48,125
and pipe them aboard with a ram tam tam.
69
00:17:18,417 --> 00:17:22,832
The Tejo River flows into the sea
of Lisbon this is the gateway
70
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:24,540
to the Portuguese Riviera.
71
00:17:26,083 --> 00:17:30,907
The Greeks discovered it,
the Romans discovered it
72
00:17:30,917 --> 00:17:33,875
and now we have discovered it.
73
00:17:46,458 --> 00:17:51,703
Some come in search of sun, some
in search of the sparkling Portuguese wine
74
00:17:51,708 --> 00:17:54,370
and one in search of the Flying Clipper.
75
00:18:07,792 --> 00:18:10,750
The Flying Clipper
rounds the heel of Italy.
76
00:18:12,083 --> 00:18:17,123
The Mediterranean is a jewel of many facets
and the Captain wants the boys
77
00:18:17,125 --> 00:18:19,036
to see it in its best light.
78
00:18:23,208 --> 00:18:28,499
In the gulf of Kotor, the craig Yugoslavian
ship Jadran is in her home waters.
79
00:18:29,917 --> 00:18:33,990
Marco Polo came from a nearby island,
he led ten ships here,
80
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,741
I guess the Genoese fleet.
81
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:41,072
He was beaten, taken prisoner
enduring captivity.
82
00:18:42,833 --> 00:18:46,326
The day he was freed he began
his travels into china
83
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:50,497
and brought back home his
famous gift, a barrel of gunpowder.
84
00:18:55,042 --> 00:18:58,865
The Yugoslavs always welcome
a friendly traveler,
85
00:18:58,875 --> 00:19:04,416
in the words of a poet philosopher
Petar Petrovi¢-Njegos:
86
00:19:04,417 --> 00:19:08,365
"He is my brother of whatever
creed he may be.”
87
00:19:31,542 --> 00:19:36,742
Yugoslavia has two alphabets, three
religions, four languages, five nations,
88
00:19:36,750 --> 00:19:40,914
six republics and a partisan
in every crosstree.
89
00:19:52,542 --> 00:19:56,831
Yugoslavia has two voices,
one is of the sea,
90
00:19:56,833 --> 00:20:00,906
one is of the mountains,
each a mighty voice.
91
00:20:13,125 --> 00:20:16,447
For the Kotor motor scooter girls
it's a field day
92
00:20:16,792 --> 00:20:21,036
they have a putnik each as
a traveler is called hereabouts.
93
00:20:22,083 --> 00:20:25,530
And the putniks are happy to have
something to hang on to,
94
00:20:26,083 --> 00:20:29,280
up to the winding hairpin roads
to Mount Lovcen.
95
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:39,041
When the road is washed away,
nobody minds, it always is in Yugoslavia.
96
00:21:15,750 --> 00:21:21,245
These are the mountains of the Guslari,
the wandering minstrels who sang of
97
00:21:21,250 --> 00:21:25,995
blood and courage, of the hunters and
woodsmen who came from the forest
98
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,708
of Eastern Europe and called these
cypress woods Dombrava.
99
00:21:31,042 --> 00:21:35,036
They sang of the enemies
they have fought and of the trees.
100
00:21:36,125 --> 00:21:40,744
Any place in Yugoslavia, to cut down
a tree is to take a man's live.
101
00:21:43,292 --> 00:21:45,829
For the tree is the partisans' friend.
102
00:22:18,125 --> 00:22:22,039
The Hairpin bends of Mount Lovcen
are easier to negotiate
103
00:22:22,042 --> 00:22:24,625
than the feelings in a sailor's heart.
104
00:22:27,042 --> 00:22:31,366
Sailors the world over remember
and say of the Yugoslav girls:
105
00:22:31,667 --> 00:22:36,457
"My true love she was beautiful,
my true love she was gay,
106
00:22:36,792 --> 00:22:41,707
so I"m taking a trip on a clipper ship,
ten thousand miles away.”
107
00:22:42,875 --> 00:22:47,199
So the boys embark with a new word
meaning both hello and goodbye.
108
00:22:47,667 --> 00:22:49,829
Zdravo!
109
00:22:59,917 --> 00:23:01,954
And Zdravo Dubrovnik.
110
00:23:03,917 --> 00:23:10,414
Ragusa of old, whos white gold and rosset
tiles, renaissance and Romanesque
111
00:23:10,417 --> 00:23:14,240
architecture, peasants, partisans and poets
have made it to Slav Athens.
112
00:23:23,125 --> 00:23:27,665
Yugoslavs enjoy being fast on their feet
and the fastest footwork
113
00:23:28,417 --> 00:23:31,830
is in their national dance the Kolo.
114
00:25:09,917 --> 00:25:14,582
In the spring courting dance a married
shy bachelor gets a little heady
115
00:25:14,583 --> 00:25:18,531
when his sweetheart entices him
into saying, yes, yes, yes.
116
00:25:20,875 --> 00:25:23,242
His fastest footwork is yet to come.
117
00:26:06,583 --> 00:26:08,165
Hundred one three five.
118
00:26:32,167 --> 00:26:33,703
Captain, a call for you.
119
00:26:46,667 --> 00:26:50,240
The teenage odyssey of the Flying Clipper
has excited the curiosity
120
00:26:50,417 --> 00:26:52,875
of the picture magazines of Europe.
121
00:26:52,875 --> 00:26:57,039
This is Hanns Hubmann,
can I speak to your Captain please. Over.
122
00:27:00,042 --> 00:27:02,329
Hello, hello Mr. Hubmann, go ahead.
123
00:27:03,250 --> 00:27:07,915
Hello Captain, hello Captain, can you
give me a chance to get me on board
124
00:27:07,917 --> 00:27:09,783
to take a few pictures? Over.
125
00:27:10,875 --> 00:27:15,494
1 think so, yes. We are supposed to arrive
in Korfu in about four hours.
126
00:27:15,500 --> 00:27:18,367
Can you make it?
Korfu in about four hours?
127
00:27:18,375 --> 00:27:21,913
Oh yes, thanks Captain.
I meet you in Korfu, so long.
128
00:27:27,125 --> 00:27:28,081
Hello Captain.
129
00:27:28,542 --> 00:27:31,079
The Captain welcomes
the journalist on board
130
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:35,281
and Mr. Hubmann's presence arouses
a pretty good folklore of rumor.
131
00:27:35,958 --> 00:27:38,290
This is Mr. Hubmann from the German press.
132
00:27:38,625 --> 00:27:42,994
A reconnaissance party is elected
to straighten out the hearsay.
133
00:27:43,708 --> 00:27:44,743
What's going on?
134
00:27:45,292 --> 00:27:46,748
Yes I think so, we can.
135
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:51,699
We go directly to Port Said and
if we make plans, we can meet there.
136
00:27:51,708 --> 00:27:54,996
You know the stories about school ships.
They are great.
137
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:59,870
People are very interested to see those
things, so I thought we do this story.
138
00:27:59,875 --> 00:28:02,492
Oh very fine, I am glad I can help you.
139
00:28:03,667 --> 00:28:09,367
Hubmann plans to write the story of three
young sailors at liberty in timeless Egypt.
140
00:28:11,625 --> 00:28:15,118
A friendly rough and tumble
will decide which three.
141
00:28:16,792 --> 00:28:19,124
Ok, step out boys and take a chance.
142
00:28:33,292 --> 00:28:37,365
The pillow fight on a greased pole
is an old Scandinavian custom
143
00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:41,744
like walking the plank or spitting
on a dried chip and tossing it
144
00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:43,491
heads or tails, wet or dry.
145
00:29:00,500 --> 00:29:03,663
In this case, its dry
you win a cruise up to river Nile,
146
00:29:03,667 --> 00:29:06,034
wet you win a swim in the Adriatic.
147
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,447
The Windjammer kids come from good homes.
148
00:29:54,875 --> 00:29:58,322
If their parents could see them now.
149
00:30:05,625 --> 00:30:09,573
Yugoslavia falls behind in the wake
of the Flying Clipper.
150
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:14,656
Once you passed Crete,
it is six sailing days to Port Said.
151
00:30:30,125 --> 00:30:34,915
In Port Said, the most popular ship jumping
port in the eastern Mediterranean,
152
00:30:34,917 --> 00:30:39,662
the three winners go a shore to start
their adventure up the river Nile.
153
00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:42,534
And the skipper gives everyone else surely.
154
00:30:47,583 --> 00:30:50,541
(SHANTY SINGING)
155
00:31:31,833 --> 00:31:36,907
The Flying Clipper is the guest of the
Egyptian government in the Suez Canal
156
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:41,957
the hundred miles of waterway connecting
the Mediterranean to the red sea.
157
00:31:42,250 --> 00:31:45,697
Look, my friend, what do you say to that?
158
00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:48,495
Well, I have seen them before.
159
00:31:51,708 --> 00:31:54,416
The Egyptian answer to the Texas rangers.
160
00:32:17,375 --> 00:32:19,332
The Flying Clipper in a sea of sand.
161
00:32:20,333 --> 00:32:23,291
Sailing on a ribbon of water
thirty-five feet deep.
162
00:32:36,167 --> 00:32:41,162
The river Nile, a brown and green snake,
where fellas are called fellahin.
163
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,574
The Nile brings out a poet smile,
because it rhymes with crocodile.
164
00:32:49,750 --> 00:32:54,495
But me, well I've seen too much mileage
to make a limerick in Nileage.
165
00:32:58,750 --> 00:32:59,706
Look.
166
00:32:59,917 --> 00:33:03,785
I know, that has got to be older
than two thousand years.
167
00:33:05,167 --> 00:33:09,991
Cleopatra lays along these banks
on a golden barge with Marc Antony.
168
00:33:11,375 --> 00:33:15,664
And her beauty was such,
that he gave her a little real estate.
169
00:33:17,958 --> 00:33:22,156
Jericho, Greece, Cyprus, Venetia
and parts of Sicily and Crete.
170
00:33:36,958 --> 00:33:41,407
The only water in rainless Egypt,
the Nile, is sacred to farmers,
171
00:33:41,417 --> 00:33:46,491
because it overflows into their fields,
filling them with rich fertile silt.
172
00:34:09,458 --> 00:34:11,916
Who tied you to the wheel brother ox?
173
00:34:13,375 --> 00:34:15,332
Who put the oak on your neck?
174
00:34:16,250 --> 00:34:19,208
I'll find out in time,
the ox replies plodding on.
175
00:34:23,958 --> 00:34:29,032
Where stood ancient Thebes now stand
the ruined temple of Luxor and Karnak.
176
00:34:31,375 --> 00:34:36,245
Where kings vainly sought immortality
by carving their exploits in stone.
177
00:34:38,583 --> 00:34:42,326
They might as well have carved
their initials into a tree.
178
00:34:42,583 --> 00:34:47,783
For here are their prayers written in a
language only a few can understand,
179
00:34:47,792 --> 00:34:50,079
although it was meant for the many.
180
00:34:59,583 --> 00:35:02,575
Yet when we walk the avenue
of the sphinxes,
181
00:35:02,750 --> 00:35:06,573
we can understand something
of the great civilizations,
182
00:35:06,583 --> 00:35:11,202
which flourished here and disappeared
on the grinding wheel of time.
183
00:35:12,833 --> 00:35:16,827
The priest of the temples once held the
Egyptians in bondage to the Nile, telling
184
00:35:16,833 --> 00:35:22,658
them that the guards gave to them the
sharmans the times of the rivers floods,
185
00:35:22,667 --> 00:35:26,080
of new moons and full moons,
of times to plant seed.
186
00:35:32,125 --> 00:35:37,165
Out of the sham rituals and the people
simplicity came the first calendar.
187
00:35:41,333 --> 00:35:46,407
Only sunset at each day would release
river folk from the tyranny of the day
188
00:35:46,417 --> 00:35:50,411
and the river birds to hunt without
fear of the brown hawk.
189
00:35:59,375 --> 00:36:04,541
The Nile bird walks in leaps and bounds
because it lives on coffee grounds,
190
00:36:04,542 --> 00:36:08,957
which is as cruel of you and me
as of the Nile bird you'll agree.
191
00:36:13,125 --> 00:36:17,414
The coffee makes Egyptian smile
it's twice as muddy as the Nile.
192
00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:22,200
Sure, however, as long as its coffee.
193
00:36:23,292 --> 00:36:24,327
Thanks.
194
00:36:24,333 --> 00:36:25,289
Thank you.
195
00:36:26,125 --> 00:36:27,081
Thanks.
196
00:36:29,708 --> 00:36:30,664
Not bad.
197
00:36:31,458 --> 00:36:34,951
The Villa of the Begum Aga Khan
is on the riverbank.
198
00:36:36,458 --> 00:36:41,123
The Aga Khan, leader of the Muslims
of India is buried on the hill,
199
00:36:41,125 --> 00:36:42,536
overlooking the Nile.
200
00:36:48,792 --> 00:36:52,581
It is here, that many generations ago
his ancestors began
201
00:36:52,583 --> 00:36:57,453
that branch of the Islamic faith,
of which he became the spiritual head.
202
00:37:09,792 --> 00:37:13,831
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
203
00:37:14,417 --> 00:37:16,579
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
204
00:37:16,583 --> 00:37:19,996
- Where do you come from?
- We are coming from the Flying Clipper.
205
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,958
- Oh, that's a very fine boat.
- You know it?
206
00:37:22,958 --> 00:37:24,824
Yes, it is very fine indeed.
207
00:37:27,250 --> 00:37:32,541
The boys were greeted by the Begum and
found her to be a gracious French lady,
208
00:37:32,833 --> 00:37:37,907
who's way of life had taken her
as far away from the green trees of Paris,
209
00:37:37,917 --> 00:37:41,330
as their travels had taken them
from their homeland.
210
00:37:43,583 --> 00:37:47,531
- And I wish you a very good trip.
- Thank you ma'am, good-bye.
211
00:37:47,542 --> 00:37:49,203
- Good-bye.
- Good-bye.
212
00:37:57,917 --> 00:38:01,364
This man and his children
will inherit a new Egypt.
213
00:38:02,458 --> 00:38:07,282
He is awakened every day to live
in the giant shadows of the god kings.
214
00:38:08,167 --> 00:38:12,582
He will awaken tomorrow to a
shimmering lake, the high Aswan dam,
215
00:38:13,833 --> 00:38:18,828
who's waters will free Egyptians of the
past, the best and the worst of it.
216
00:38:19,917 --> 00:38:25,083
And of the all and majesty of the three
thousand year old temples of Abu Simbel.
217
00:38:32,708 --> 00:38:35,700
Vile infidel no,
you have trod on the toe.
218
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:41,032
Of Ramses the second.
219
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:53,371
The archeologists of the new Egypt will
have to be skim divers to see these Kings
220
00:38:53,375 --> 00:38:58,666
and their thrones, but if a catkin look
at a King my friends, so can a catfish.
221
00:39:07,208 --> 00:39:08,243
How much for it?
222
00:39:08,792 --> 00:39:13,332
At sea, sailors amuse themselves,
a shore they amuse everyone else.
223
00:39:14,333 --> 00:39:16,199
Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
224
00:39:17,208 --> 00:39:19,791
Walk on. Jalavina. Jalavina. Jalavina.
225
00:39:21,292 --> 00:39:24,250
(LAUGHTER)
226
00:39:39,875 --> 00:39:41,491
Come on. Come on old boy.
227
00:39:47,625 --> 00:39:52,699
They say a sailor never walks if he
can ride, but this Sailor will have to.
228
00:39:53,458 --> 00:39:56,621
His donkey engine just
won't get up any steam.
229
00:40:07,958 --> 00:40:13,124
In the Valley of the Kings, the treasures
of Tut-Ankh-Amun lay undiscovered
230
00:40:13,125 --> 00:40:14,957
until the twentieth century.
231
00:40:16,625 --> 00:40:22,075
Tut-Ankh-Amun became King at the age
of nine and reigned on the throne of Egypt
232
00:40:22,083 --> 00:40:24,120
until he was sixteen years old.
233
00:40:27,125 --> 00:40:32,416
They say you can't take it with you,
but King Tut proved you can stay with it.
234
00:40:36,375 --> 00:40:40,573
Young King Tut stays now
in the museum of antiquities in Cairo.
235
00:40:46,958 --> 00:40:52,249
And Tut-Ankh-Amun's golden Chair mutely
asks, what happened to my beautiful owner.
236
00:41:39,583 --> 00:41:44,578
The newcomers is only on top of
things in Cairo, so long as he is airborne.
237
00:41:45,875 --> 00:41:49,243
For the instant, he sets foot
in the marketplace
238
00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:52,242
he is one of three and a half million
people, all gifted hagglers except him.
239
00:42:01,958 --> 00:42:06,156
Sailor, when a souvenir merchant
smiles at your offer and says:
240
00:42:06,875 --> 00:42:11,073
"Buk rafil mish mish” he means
when the apple blossoms bloom,
241
00:42:11,083 --> 00:42:13,791
and there are no apple blossoms in Cairo.
242
00:42:30,917 --> 00:42:35,832
Over the glamour and rush of
Muslim Cairo, the cry of the muezzin falls
243
00:42:35,833 --> 00:42:39,576
like the drawn out notes of a horn
from the minarets
244
00:42:39,583 --> 00:42:44,828
calling the faithful to their prayer mats
to turn their heads toward Makkah,
245
00:42:44,833 --> 00:42:46,574
the birthplace of Mohammed.
246
00:42:48,417 --> 00:42:51,375
(MUEZZIN SINGING)
247
00:43:19,167 --> 00:43:22,785
The pyramids of Giza; ask a question;
give no answer;
248
00:43:24,208 --> 00:43:28,907
stand on the earth; point at the heavens;
perhaps that is the answer.
249
00:43:32,375 --> 00:43:33,957
Ask Giza's leading lady.
250
00:43:50,542 --> 00:43:55,787
The main attraction of the desert is
being upstaged by a little belly dancer.
251
00:44:07,167 --> 00:44:11,286
Poor Sphynx, the only woman
who can never say what she thinks.
252
00:44:13,750 --> 00:44:17,789
Straw-hatted ladies on camels
make up for her stony silence.
253
00:44:19,750 --> 00:44:22,333
Fair game for the barbs of Oscar Wilde.
254
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,958
Woman tourists are sphynxes
without secrets.
255
00:44:31,958 --> 00:44:37,408
King Cheops enslaved thousands of his
fellahin's ancestors to build his pyramid,
256
00:44:37,417 --> 00:44:39,704
the biggest tombstone of them all.
257
00:44:42,875 --> 00:44:45,993
Now fellahin makes a good living
from the pyramid,
258
00:44:46,167 --> 00:44:50,035
betting tourists he can climb
to the top in five minutes.
259
00:44:51,417 --> 00:44:55,490
Kings may come and Kings may go,
but fellahin go on forever.
260
00:45:51,292 --> 00:45:57,163
For the new members of the pyramidmenship
club, here is an ode that may sit well,
261
00:45:57,375 --> 00:46:03,246
King Chops' monumental ego
gives all but a sailor vertigo, or he got
262
00:46:03,458 --> 00:46:09,659
his balance up on the top gallants,
as men do, who down to the sea go.
263
00:46:35,792 --> 00:46:39,365
It's farewell to the land of
sun gods and pharaohs,
264
00:46:39,375 --> 00:46:44,825
when the Flying Clipper starts toward the
more familiar lands of the New Testament.
265
00:46:50,792 --> 00:46:52,203
1 need to take over.
266
00:46:52,208 --> 00:46:54,165
- Yes. Course five-three.
- Ok.
267
00:47:03,500 --> 00:47:05,116
Row new Course, five-one.
268
00:47:10,542 --> 00:47:14,957
Now, tell me exactly, how high are
the Lebanon Mountains? Nielson.
269
00:47:16,417 --> 00:47:17,373
Ehm ...
270
00:47:18,125 --> 00:47:19,081
Solberg!
271
00:47:19,458 --> 00:47:21,825
Ten thousand five hundred feet
or a little more maybe.
272
00:47:22,125 --> 00:47:23,081
No.
273
00:47:24,083 --> 00:47:28,498
A map is a magic carpet to the seafaring
teenager that takes him to places
274
00:47:28,500 --> 00:47:30,332
that are only names to him.
275
00:47:37,458 --> 00:47:42,624
He charts his way of north-northeast
to the Mediterranean waters of Beirut,
276
00:47:42,625 --> 00:47:44,081
the capital of Lebanon.
277
00:47:50,333 --> 00:47:54,531
In Beirut, he will find the jungle
of nightclubs and the gossip
278
00:47:54,833 --> 00:47:58,747
of Lebanese coffee houses,
wealthy villas, mud huts,
279
00:47:59,042 --> 00:48:03,866
Muslims and Christian's, whose names
ring up the past of Babylon,
280
00:48:04,125 --> 00:48:07,368
of Damascus, of Syria and Nazareth.
281
00:48:11,708 --> 00:48:16,908
He will find the few hundred trees
remaining of the giant seaters of Lebanon,
282
00:48:17,542 --> 00:48:19,829
which Hiram of Tyre gave to Solomon
283
00:48:20,583 --> 00:48:24,281
that he might fashion of them
the temple of Jerusalem.
284
00:48:25,083 --> 00:48:28,246
And of which Zachariah
speaks a true prophecy.
285
00:48:31,125 --> 00:48:36,245
Hallo, fair tree, for the seater is fallen,
because the mighty are spoiled.
286
00:48:39,208 --> 00:48:44,453
In the land of an eye for an eye Hiram
of Tyre didn't plant a tree for a tree.
287
00:48:47,125 --> 00:48:52,199
And King Solomon had seven hundred
wife's, so he just didn't have the time.
288
00:49:18,833 --> 00:49:23,873
The pageant splendor of Baalbek is in
the massive Egyptian granite blocks,
289
00:49:24,292 --> 00:49:27,739
which took three years to carry
here from the Nile.
290
00:49:29,042 --> 00:49:33,240
These magnificent columns could tell
of the unspeakable blood rituals
291
00:49:33,250 --> 00:49:38,199
to the Baal of Syria, of the
Helios of Greece and of the Heliopolis,
292
00:49:39,083 --> 00:49:43,077
of the temples of Jupiter and of Bacchus.
293
00:49:44,958 --> 00:49:49,873
They could tell of the biggest temple
town of the world and of the Christians
294
00:49:49,875 --> 00:49:55,496
who made it right with heaven, and of the
mohabitants who made it right with Allah,
295
00:49:55,500 --> 00:49:59,323
and of time who made it right
with the stones themselves.
296
00:50:01,292 --> 00:50:06,537
They having weathered the many
ages of men could now speak freely
297
00:50:06,750 --> 00:50:10,698
of his wisdom and his folly
to a passing sailor.
298
00:50:22,667 --> 00:50:26,956
The Damascus road climbs up out
of the blazing heat of Baalbek.
299
00:50:28,375 --> 00:50:31,037
Six thousand feet into the mountain snow.
300
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:48,781
Men cool their wine in the snow,
little boys cool lemonade,
301
00:50:50,625 --> 00:50:53,037
and sailors cool their landing gear.
302
00:51:27,208 --> 00:51:31,247
One day this lad may leave his
handprint in the wet cement
303
00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:34,083
at Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood.
304
00:51:35,417 --> 00:51:40,366
Meantime he is about to make a Sitzmark,
which is accomplished by throwing
305
00:51:40,542 --> 00:51:45,082
both skies up in the air and landing flat
on your Sitz in the snow.
306
00:52:00,625 --> 00:52:05,119
You get the greatest view from these
mountains on the Damascus Bus.
307
00:52:43,750 --> 00:52:46,242
The weather report from Rhodes radio Sir.
308
00:52:46,583 --> 00:52:50,451
It is not so good. I'm afraid
we are heading for a storm.
309
00:52:51,750 --> 00:52:53,536
Well, let me see.
310
00:52:56,458 --> 00:53:00,577
The Mediterranean southwest
of Turkey is a fascinating place.
311
00:53:01,333 --> 00:53:06,203
One day it's as calm and sunny as
a Turk dreaming into his bubble pipe,
312
00:53:06,208 --> 00:53:09,280
another day it rages like
a whirling dervish.
313
00:53:10,042 --> 00:53:14,036
In these waters, Aeolus gave
the great Odysseus a fair wind
314
00:53:14,208 --> 00:53:17,746
and he gave him all the foul winds
tied up in a bag.
315
00:53:22,042 --> 00:53:25,910
Odysseus however had a land lover
on board and naturally, he wanted to see
316
00:53:26,292 --> 00:53:32,538
what was in the bag and he untied
the strings, and he loosed the four winds.
317
00:55:46,833 --> 00:55:50,997
The Flying Clipper rode out the storm
of the coast of Turkey
318
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:55,870
in the port from which the apostles
Paul and Barnabas sailed for Antioch.
319
00:56:09,375 --> 00:56:14,541
At nearby Side a great Turkish actor
read the Greek tragedies of Aeschylus,
320
00:56:14,542 --> 00:56:19,537
who knew as accurately
as if he were here with us
321
00:56:19,542 --> 00:56:23,831
that this roman theater would be
empty one day.
322
00:56:24,792 --> 00:56:28,239
Alas for mortals, their power and pride.
323
00:56:30,167 --> 00:56:34,115
A little shadow sweeps it
from the earth and if they suffer
324
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:40,121
while the fatal hour comes o'er the record
like a moistened sponge and blots it out.
325
00:56:42,167 --> 00:56:43,373
Well it is pitiful.
326
00:56:53,083 --> 00:56:57,532
On the beach of Alanya, menfolk gather
for the favorite pass time of Turkey.
327
00:57:05,542 --> 00:57:08,739
The Flying Clipper swings peacefully
at anchor,
328
00:57:08,958 --> 00:57:13,452
ashore the women sit in the shade eating
cold chops and French ices.
329
00:57:16,250 --> 00:57:19,697
And the boys head for the fight arena
on the beach.
330
00:58:09,917 --> 00:58:14,536
Would you like to see a little Turkish
delight? A genuine camel fight?
331
00:58:14,833 --> 00:58:19,327
A doney broke, a shoot for the cook,
a regular free for all and all for free?
332
00:58:19,333 --> 00:58:22,655
This way ladies and gentleman
to the main event.
333
00:58:31,333 --> 00:58:36,908
The rules are break clean in the clinches,
less they break their valuable legs,
334
00:58:36,917 --> 00:58:39,284
and yours too ladies and gentleman.
335
00:59:05,667 --> 00:59:07,249
Oh, little darling, come on.
336
00:59:11,208 --> 00:59:12,744
Hey, what about you little fella.
337
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:16,744
A highchair for the little people.
Thank Sinbad.
338
00:59:17,750 --> 00:59:20,287
Brother and sister, regular fight fans.
339
00:59:34,167 --> 00:59:37,034
On my left Abdul of Alanya.
340
01:00:09,583 --> 01:00:14,498
Keep well back please; the fighting
camel is a highly pugnacious animal.
341
01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:37,243
If you think all camels are a filter tip
ladies and gentleman,
342
01:00:37,250 --> 01:00:39,116
come and see the camel fight.
343
01:00:49,250 --> 01:00:50,740
Catch them if you can.
344
01:01:18,583 --> 01:01:22,531
Yesterdays champ and still champ,
gentleman Jim of Alanya.
345
01:01:34,208 --> 01:01:37,746
The Goéreme is the most
inhospitable land in Turkey,
346
01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:40,993
a lunar landscape in the Anatolian
tablelands,
347
01:01:41,375 --> 01:01:45,539
which stretches eastwards
a thousand miles into Mount Ararat.
348
01:01:48,042 --> 01:01:51,910
This wasteland of volcanic cones,
barren of wildlife,
349
01:01:53,167 --> 01:01:57,707
barren of vegetation became the refuge
of the persecuted Christians,
350
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,698
when to be a Christian was
an act of courage and faith.
351
01:02:07,833 --> 01:02:11,997
Each step into the Goreme is
a tale of believes that moved man
352
01:02:12,583 --> 01:02:17,783
to live in a stony wilderness, where even
a goat cannot find a blade of grass.
353
01:02:21,208 --> 01:02:25,657
To holla out cave homes and chapels
until one by one,
354
01:02:25,833 --> 01:02:30,157
the unreal spires of the stony valley
became the steeples of a city.
355
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,995
It is the tale of a way of life
that could inspire men to set their hands
356
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,866
to record for their children.
357
01:02:56,542 --> 01:03:00,831
The tale of a man, who before them
had gone into the wilderness.
358
01:03:07,917 --> 01:03:12,411
The beautiful Byzantine mosaics
tell of the carpenter of Nazareth,
359
01:03:13,833 --> 01:03:16,791
of the family of Joseph and Mary,
360
01:03:17,375 --> 01:03:20,447
of the flight into Egypt and of he,
361
01:03:20,833 --> 01:03:24,246
who came barefooted, yet his way
was strewn with palms.
362
01:03:37,542 --> 01:03:42,241
The marriage feast of Canan,
where Jesus turned water into wine
363
01:03:44,250 --> 01:03:46,992
and the miracle of the loaves and fishes.
364
01:03:53,417 --> 01:03:54,373
Nice Guys.
365
01:03:56,458 --> 01:03:58,324
Its right through to Russia.
366
01:04:00,417 --> 01:04:04,581
The Flying Clipper entered
the Dardanelles, ahead the Bosporus
367
01:04:04,875 --> 01:04:07,333
and the Golden Horn of Istanbul.
368
01:04:09,542 --> 01:04:12,375
Under the friendly eye of the Turkish navy,
369
01:04:13,583 --> 01:04:17,451
she sailed the seas and narrows
where the Trojan war was fought.
370
01:04:19,208 --> 01:04:23,953
The Bosporus leading to Istanbul
is alive with the spirits of the men,
371
01:04:24,167 --> 01:04:25,953
who came to make it theirs.
372
01:04:28,042 --> 01:04:32,286
Of Richard the Lionhearted,
who met the ghost of Saint George,
373
01:04:32,458 --> 01:04:34,324
the one who slew the dragon.
374
01:04:34,667 --> 01:04:38,535
And he made the rallying cry
of the crusade, Saint George.
375
01:04:38,917 --> 01:04:45,289
Ever since the waters, which divide Asia
from Europe, have been known as
376
01:04:45,708 --> 01:04:47,244
the arm of Saint George.
377
01:04:50,875 --> 01:04:56,041
Istanbul stands astride the Bosporus,
the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn.
378
01:04:56,750 --> 01:04:59,162
One foot in Europe the other in Asia.
379
01:04:59,625 --> 01:05:04,074
The tremendous drama of this once
most important city in the world,
380
01:05:04,375 --> 01:05:07,208
speaks through the domes
of the Sancta Sophia
381
01:05:07,417 --> 01:05:10,159
and its six-minaret rival the Blue Mosque.
382
01:05:12,750 --> 01:05:14,536
Said the Emperor Justinian:
383
01:05:15,667 --> 01:05:20,286
"I created the masterpiece of
byzantine architecture, Sancta Sophia,
384
01:05:21,500 --> 01:05:25,824
to be the greatest house of God
made by the hand of man.
385
01:05:28,875 --> 01:05:31,162
I have surpassed thee, o Solomon.”
386
01:05:37,792 --> 01:05:39,248
Said the Sultan Ahmed:
387
01:05:42,167 --> 01:05:47,116
"Until I build the Blue Mosque, we had
made a mosque the Hagia Sophia.”
388
01:05:49,833 --> 01:05:53,246
The men who captured Constantinople
were soldiers.
389
01:05:54,417 --> 01:05:58,490
Take Mohammed the Conqueror,
he build forts like Rumelihisar.
390
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:24,291
The Galata Bridge spans the Golden Horn,
connecting mercantile Istanbul
391
01:06:24,500 --> 01:06:29,415
with the old city of the Sultans
and the Dolmabahg¢e Palace,
392
01:06:30,792 --> 01:06:33,033
where the Janissaries Band plays.
393
01:06:37,917 --> 01:06:42,491
The sixteenth century Janissaries were
the allied fighters of the Ottoman Empire,
394
01:06:42,708 --> 01:06:47,248
who carried the flag of the prophet
right up to the gates of Vienna.
395
01:07:11,375 --> 01:07:14,538
A traveling Jazzman,
called Mississippi Sam,
396
01:07:14,708 --> 01:07:17,746
once played a horn with
the Janissaries Band.
397
01:07:19,417 --> 01:07:25,368
One day he played "All the Girls go crazy
about the way I walk" after which,
398
01:07:25,583 --> 01:07:28,951
the band made other arrangements for him.
399
01:07:34,750 --> 01:07:39,369
The Janissaries are great knife throwers
and great mustache growers.
400
01:08:38,458 --> 01:08:40,540
Why didn't you bring your camera along?
401
01:08:40,708 --> 01:08:42,915
1 told you before, now it's too late.
402
01:08:57,333 --> 01:09:00,780
What interests the teenage crew
of the Flying Clipper more
403
01:09:00,792 --> 01:09:05,537
than the romance of the past of Istanbul,
is the romance of the present.
404
01:09:08,250 --> 01:09:13,871
And the Janissaries are as used to playing
with the sailor audience as without one.
405
01:09:47,833 --> 01:09:51,451
Hey Boys stop it, come here.
In here I say, let's go.
406
01:09:53,667 --> 01:09:57,535
Let's go school, we have better to do.
Come in. Let's go.
407
01:10:00,917 --> 01:10:06,788
In the beautiful grounds of Sancta Sophia,
once a church, then a mosque,
408
01:10:06,958 --> 01:10:10,576
now a museum, one can feel the old way
of the sultans.
409
01:10:12,333 --> 01:10:17,703
The fairs, the veil, the caliphate, the
harem, the cult of the whirling dervish.
410
01:10:21,208 --> 01:10:25,156
In every street in Istanbul,
one can feel the old way of life,
411
01:10:26,250 --> 01:10:30,198
standing next to the westernized Turkey
of Kemal Ataturk.
412
01:10:31,708 --> 01:10:36,123
It's a tug of war between east and west
in this land, which stands with
413
01:10:36,333 --> 01:10:40,622
its back to Mount Ararat, its shoulders
to the black sea, and its face to Europe.
414
01:10:51,625 --> 01:10:55,289
The boys say good-bye to the hills
of the golden horn.
415
01:10:55,458 --> 01:11:00,077
In the sunset, the minarets of Istanbul
are as brilliantly sculptured
416
01:11:00,250 --> 01:11:03,743
as the carving crescent moon
on the flag of Turkey.
417
01:11:33,375 --> 01:11:38,700
First day out of Istanbul, the captain
makes an entry in his log: "All is well.”
418
01:11:57,625 --> 01:12:02,040
Two days out of Istanbul,
one of the boys has an appendix attack.
419
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,708
He doesn't have to face the first mates
penknife
420
01:12:06,708 --> 01:12:09,905
as in the old sailing days before
the miracle of wireless.
421
01:12:10,375 --> 01:12:15,415
But the real miracle today is that Captain
Skoglunds emergency signal can find a ship
422
01:12:15,625 --> 01:12:19,573
that can help him immediately, in a million
square miles of the world's largest sea.
423
01:12:21,500 --> 01:12:25,539
Hello, all ships in all stations.
Hello, all ships in all stations.
424
01:12:25,542 --> 01:12:27,579
Flying Clipper. Flying Clipper.
425
01:12:27,583 --> 01:12:30,541
Flying Clipper calling all ships
and all stations.
426
01:12:30,542 --> 01:12:34,365
The Swedish sailing vessel
Flying Clipper calling. Over.
427
01:12:35,167 --> 01:12:38,125
Flying Clipper. Flying Clipper
USS Shangri-La answering.
428
01:12:38,125 --> 01:12:40,082
What is your emergency? Over.
429
01:12:40,083 --> 01:12:41,949
O hello, hello Shangri-La.
430
01:12:41,958 --> 01:12:45,201
1 have a sick boy on board give me
medical advice, please.
431
01:12:45,208 --> 01:12:47,245
Let me speak to a doctor. Over.
432
01:12:47,917 --> 01:12:49,078
Dr. Brown please.
433
01:12:53,292 --> 01:12:55,158
This is Dr. Brown on the Shangri-La.
434
01:12:55,167 --> 01:12:57,033
This is Flying Clipper. can you help me?
435
01:12:57,042 --> 01:13:01,866
1 have a sick boy on board who needs
some help. It might be the appendix.
436
01:13:02,208 --> 01:13:04,199
Yes, well, where does it hurt?
437
01:13:04,208 --> 01:13:05,539
All over the belly.
438
01:13:06,125 --> 01:13:08,207
On the right site, mainly?
439
01:13:08,208 --> 01:13:09,698
Yes, Sir that's right.
440
01:13:09,958 --> 01:13:11,699
How long has he been sick?
441
01:13:11,708 --> 01:13:13,745
For about one and a half days.
442
01:13:14,458 --> 01:13:16,244
I see. And does he have a fever?
443
01:13:16,417 --> 01:13:17,907
Yes, today it was 143.
444
01:13:19,292 --> 01:13:20,248
Aye, How high?
445
01:13:20,833 --> 01:13:21,789
143.
446
01:13:23,417 --> 01:13:25,829
Oh, I see, that sound fairly serious.
447
01:13:26,167 --> 01:13:29,364
I think we better arrange to bring him
over here.
448
01:13:29,375 --> 01:13:33,289
I'll have the helicopter go over
and pick him up as quickly as possible.
449
01:13:33,458 --> 01:13:34,414
Ok? Yes?
450
01:13:35,250 --> 01:13:39,039
My position is 3345.
East 28/16. Over.
451
01:13:43,125 --> 01:13:45,207
Right. Here, take the position.
452
01:13:48,625 --> 01:13:50,787
Come on boys, come on, hurry up.
453
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:01,956
Make it faster.
454
01:14:04,083 --> 01:14:06,040
Come on boys, make it quicker.
455
01:14:07,542 --> 01:14:10,534
Hey Solberg don't forget to use your hands.
456
01:14:10,542 --> 01:14:12,249
Hurry up, hurry up I say.
457
01:14:20,750 --> 01:14:22,536
Hold it, now stay on course.
458
01:14:25,167 --> 01:14:28,580
Be careful boys, slow it down,
slow it down. - Ok.
459
01:14:47,750 --> 01:14:48,706
Ok.
460
01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:50,706
Here we go.
461
01:14:51,250 --> 01:14:52,740
- So long.
- So long.
462
01:15:21,542 --> 01:15:22,748
Do you think he can make it?
463
01:15:22,750 --> 01:15:23,706
Sure.
464
01:15:24,042 --> 01:15:24,998
Oh boy.
465
01:15:28,792 --> 01:15:33,207
Always ready to lend a hand, the US Navy
has been in the Mediterranean
466
01:15:33,208 --> 01:15:35,495
for over a hundred and fifty years,
467
01:15:35,667 --> 01:15:39,490
since the days of the wars against
the barbaric pirates.
468
01:17:17,500 --> 01:17:18,661
More to the right.
469
01:17:19,208 --> 01:17:20,164
- Here?
- Yes, ouch!
470
01:17:22,042 --> 01:17:25,785
Ok, prepare everything.
Get him on the Table right now.
471
01:17:47,500 --> 01:17:51,323
The Flying Clipper is ready to cruise
the Greek islands.
472
01:17:52,292 --> 01:17:56,581
She is awaiting news of Udo, and word
comes from the Shangri-La.
473
01:17:57,250 --> 01:18:00,743
Hey boys, look what came here,
from the Shangri-La.
474
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,412
- Let me see it.
- Let me read it too.
475
01:18:03,750 --> 01:18:05,912
- Wait a moment.
- Let me see.
476
01:18:06,208 --> 01:18:09,166
- Let me read it.
- The appendix is operated.
477
01:18:10,458 --> 01:18:12,540
- Let me read it.
- Let me see.
478
01:18:13,042 --> 01:18:16,580
Come on, come on, I have to bring it
to the Captain.
479
01:18:19,583 --> 01:18:23,998
The island stepping-stones,
by which Greece conquered the Aegean,
480
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,664
became one by one an anchorage
for the Flying Clipper.
481
01:18:38,375 --> 01:18:43,324
Little Mykonos, island in the sun,
has over two hundred churches,
482
01:18:43,667 --> 01:18:46,625
that makes one church to every
two families.
483
01:18:52,250 --> 01:18:57,324
For the men of Mykonos were once
pirates and the grey beards will tell us,
484
01:18:57,708 --> 01:19:01,076
every time their fathers
brought back a big haul,
485
01:19:01,250 --> 01:19:05,323
they raised another church to make it
all right with heaven.
486
01:19:09,333 --> 01:19:12,291
(SINGING)
487
01:21:22,583 --> 01:21:24,415
- Come here, look over there.
- Yeah, I saw it.
488
01:21:27,125 --> 01:21:28,160
What's going on?
489
01:21:28,792 --> 01:21:35,448
In Kalymnos, the pagan Greeks made
offerings to Poseidon, the god of the sea,
490
01:21:35,708 --> 01:21:37,915
for his protection and good will.
491
01:21:43,750 --> 01:21:48,699
The sponge fishing fleet still ask the need
for divine an assistance
492
01:21:48,917 --> 01:21:50,703
in their dangerous calling.
493
01:22:23,625 --> 01:22:28,916
Kalymnos girls wear white scarfs for
love and living, black scarfs for waiting.
494
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:37,164
Kalymnos girls wave banners of hope
that the fleet will return
495
01:22:37,542 --> 01:22:40,910
with every whole full and every man safe.
496
01:22:57,542 --> 01:23:02,116
Udo gets his new sea legs standing on
a hundred and eighty thousand
497
01:23:02,125 --> 01:23:06,824
square feet of deck, unfenced, like
a field suspended above the earth.
498
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,789
Beyond the endless blue sea,
above the arch of the sky.
499
01:23:34,500 --> 01:23:35,535
Oh.
500
01:23:35,542 --> 01:23:36,577
Sorry friend.
501
01:23:36,583 --> 01:23:38,870
Oh doesn't matter, can I help you?
502
01:23:40,833 --> 01:23:44,576
The Shangri-La is an attack carrier
of the sixth fleet.
503
01:23:44,750 --> 01:23:47,993
The battle ready fleet, which has
a striking force
504
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,243
greater than all the air forces
of World War II.
505
01:23:52,167 --> 01:23:56,786
But she is a friendly ship, as prepared
for an earthquake disaster
506
01:23:56,792 --> 01:23:58,783
as for a sailor's appendicitis.
507
01:24:03,750 --> 01:24:06,492
The Shangri-La is an island on to herself.
508
01:24:07,792 --> 01:24:11,285
An island that can place herself anywhere
in the watery provinces
509
01:24:11,458 --> 01:24:14,416
that make up three quarters of
man's estate.
510
01:24:17,042 --> 01:24:19,409
She is nourished by auxiliary ships.
511
01:24:20,042 --> 01:24:24,457
Ships that feed her two thousand
five hundred officers and men,
512
01:24:24,458 --> 01:24:28,747
ships to keep her aircraft flying and
her huge engines humming.
513
01:24:31,292 --> 01:24:36,162
The Shangri-La burns the same amount of
electricity as a good-sized town.
514
01:24:43,167 --> 01:24:46,740
The men of the navy accept Udo
as one of themselves.
515
01:24:47,875 --> 01:24:52,039
And his ear catches accents as varying
as the parts of America
516
01:24:52,667 --> 01:24:56,706
from which his messmates come.
The Corn Belt, the Mountains
517
01:24:56,708 --> 01:24:58,745
the Mississippi and the Desert.
518
01:25:01,708 --> 01:25:02,869
- Hello.
- Hello.
519
01:25:05,250 --> 01:25:07,617
- You like it new sailor?
- Please?
520
01:25:08,083 --> 01:25:10,324
Oh yes, it is mighty interesting.
521
01:25:31,042 --> 01:25:36,492
The A4D Skyhawk can carry spare fuel tanks
and has a range of thousand miles.
522
01:25:48,458 --> 01:25:51,075
And don't forget pilot,
it get's dangerous up there,
523
01:25:51,083 --> 01:25:53,370
you keep that nose above the water!
524
01:26:08,167 --> 01:26:12,582
Clear deck for flight operation.
All aircraft ready for takeoff.
525
01:27:35,458 --> 01:27:39,827
Clear landing deck. All personnel
get ready to receive aircraft.
526
01:27:49,833 --> 01:27:51,574
A little Skyhawk coming in.
527
01:28:36,125 --> 01:28:37,331
And a new crusader.
528
01:29:17,542 --> 01:29:21,911
If the aircraft comes in too high,
the hook won't grab the cable.
529
01:29:51,917 --> 01:29:56,536
When you lean on the breeze on a deck
and the carrier is on the way.
530
01:29:58,292 --> 01:30:03,833
They can tell by your knees and the hips in
your pants that you hail from the USA.
531
01:30:36,875 --> 01:30:39,162
Never trust a reversible escalator.
532
01:30:43,417 --> 01:30:45,624
And never trust a tattooed barber.
533
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,162
(VOICEOVER:
Clear deck for flight operation.)
534
01:31:45,542 --> 01:31:47,499
Hey, but why did you do this?
535
01:31:47,917 --> 01:31:48,873
Look over here.
536
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:53,201
(SIGN: REGULATION HAIR GUT ONLY)
537
01:33:26,083 --> 01:33:29,951
It's time for Udo to go back
to the way of wind and sail.
538
01:33:32,625 --> 01:33:36,038
Clipper stands by in a strong wind
to pick him up.
539
01:33:42,833 --> 01:33:44,870
This is Captain Skoglund speaking.
540
01:33:44,875 --> 01:33:49,824
Dr. Brown, I want to thank you very much,
for what you have done for our boy.
541
01:33:50,042 --> 01:33:53,410
Oh, that's ok.
I think he is in good condition.
542
01:33:53,417 --> 01:33:55,374
We will send him over right away.
543
01:33:55,375 --> 01:33:57,662
Thanks again Sir and good-bye. Out.
544
01:34:29,500 --> 01:34:32,037
We will take him over on a shore boat.
545
01:34:33,375 --> 01:34:36,163
Oh well now, I hope you enjoyed
your stay with us son.
546
01:34:36,167 --> 01:34:39,614
Oh yes, it was the most interesting time
in my life Sir. Thank you.
547
01:34:39,625 --> 01:34:40,581
- Really?
- Oh, yes.
548
01:34:41,042 --> 01:34:42,703
Do you feel all right now son?
549
01:34:42,708 --> 01:34:43,698
Yes.
550
01:34:43,708 --> 01:34:46,700
Well, have a wonderful trip on that
beautiful boat of yours,
551
01:34:46,708 --> 01:34:50,531
enjoy yourself thoroughly
and keep that hair growing fast.
552
01:34:50,542 --> 01:34:51,532
Pll try it.
553
01:34:51,542 --> 01:34:54,000
- Good luck son. Bye.
- Good-Bye.
554
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:54,956
Take care.
555
01:35:06,042 --> 01:35:07,783
The Flying Clipper is away.
556
01:35:08,333 --> 01:35:13,032
Down for Greece, Italy,
the French Riviera and Spain.
557
01:36:22,042 --> 01:36:26,991
(SEA SHANTY)
558
01:37:52,917 --> 01:37:56,990
The Island fortresses of Rhodes
bask in the times of the crusades.
559
01:37:58,417 --> 01:38:03,457
The sunny castles conjure up a nostalgia
for the pageantry of knighthood.
560
01:38:04,125 --> 01:38:07,572
The whipped of the minstrels and the
capering's of the itinerant entertainer.
561
01:38:11,042 --> 01:38:15,832
Even today, a bright lad with a jesters
band can take to the open road.
562
01:38:30,542 --> 01:38:34,035
It is the Kings birthday
and Rhodes is at its best.
563
01:38:35,958 --> 01:38:41,783
The barefoot mime is spurred to the great
big city by a Chaplinesque gift of imitation.
564
01:38:43,083 --> 01:38:47,031
His ambition, to study the feubels
of his human customers.
565
01:39:01,250 --> 01:39:03,287
The old fella is hitchhiking.
566
01:39:03,458 --> 01:39:05,790
Well friend, are you coming with us?
567
01:39:06,333 --> 01:39:09,291
- Sould we take him along?
- Sure, we'll take him on board.
568
01:39:12,542 --> 01:39:14,704
He looks just like your brother.
569
01:40:45,833 --> 01:40:49,576
This is much better than looking
humans in the kneecap.
570
01:41:18,917 --> 01:41:21,625
The captain meets the Chaplin of Rhodes.
571
01:41:25,792 --> 01:41:28,204
Charlie the Chimp and his monkeyshines.
572
01:41:36,875 --> 01:41:39,367
Hey, what can you show us old friend?
573
01:41:40,708 --> 01:41:42,870
Guys, you better take him ashore.
574
01:41:47,792 --> 01:41:48,748
Catch him.
575
01:41:49,417 --> 01:41:55,333
- Charlie, Charlie. - Charlie. - Charlie.
- Charlie, where are you. - Charlie.

Come on. Ja, jawohl.
579

He likes coffee just like us.

01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,447
- Charlie, do you like it here?
- Do you want to stay with us?

Having found out how the other half lives.

Charlie is ready to go back to
the mimes way of life.

01:43:17,583 --> 01:43:20,371
Satisfied at last.
That Darwin one was right.

Ok Charlie that's enough, let's take off.

01:43:45,292 --> 01:43:48,614
Good-bye old boy, it was nice
to have you here.
590
01:43:48,625 --> 01:43:50,787
- So long.
- Good-bye Charlie.
591
01:43:53,458 --> 01:43:54,948
Say good-bye to your friends.

Isn't he educated well,
don't you think boys?
593
01:44:14,208 --> 01:44:16,119
Don't let him get away again.
594

- Oh, fine thank you, comes just in time.

Hey, get going.
604
01:45:46,875 --> 01:45:49,993
Sailors at sea long for letter
from the homes,
605
01:45:50,167 --> 01:45:53,410
from which they were so happy
to go adventuring.
606
01:45:55,250 --> 01:45:57,207
Hello Jiirgen, there is something
I want to tell you.
607
01:45:57,208 --> 01:45:58,949
Son, please, let your mother speak first.
608
01:45:58,958 --> 01:46:00,039
Why can I not speak first?
609
01:46:00,042 --> 01:46:00,873
Quiet!
610
01:46:00,875 --> 01:46:05,039
Jargen, Jurgen my Boy.
Your father won this thing in a quiz
611
01:46:05,042 --> 01:46:07,704
and sent it straight to you, so that
you can hear our voices.
612
01:46:07,708 --> 01:46:09,665
- Great idea, huh?
- I am so...
613
01:46:13,458 --> 01:46:15,040
- Stop it boys. Stop it.
614
01:46:21,875 --> 01:46:25,243
Take good care of yourself,
so that you won't get ill.
615
01:46:25,250 --> 01:46:30,120
Wear some warm clothes, it must be always
drafty on a sailing ship. Come home soon.
616
01:46:30,125 --> 01:46:32,287
Can I speak now?
Hello Jiirgen, my big brother,
617
01:46:32,292 --> 01:46:35,034
when you get to Athens,
please bring a little Acropolis for me.
618
01:46:35,042 --> 01:46:36,578
They have such made of gypsum.
619
01:46:39,083 --> 01:46:43,407
The sea road to Athens leads
the Flying Clipper toward Piraeus,
620
01:46:43,417 --> 01:46:45,499
the Athenian shipbuilding port.
621
01:46:48,083 --> 01:46:53,908
Nut things of Theseus sailing to rescue the
youth of Athens by slaying the Minotaur.
622
01:46:56,583 --> 01:47:01,407
And of the terrifying voyage of the
Argonauts to get the Golden Fleece.
623
01:47:02,750 --> 01:47:06,368
Athens won a fruitful peace
by defeating the Persians.
624
01:47:08,208 --> 01:47:13,157
In the golden age that followed
the philosophers and dramatists of Athens
625
01:47:13,750 --> 01:47:16,868
gave the western world its heritage
of ideas.
626
01:47:18,625 --> 01:47:21,333
Democracy prospered, the arts flourished
627
01:47:22,792 --> 01:47:27,662
and Pericles put the finishing touches
to the temples of the Acropolis.
628
01:47:29,125 --> 01:47:34,495
The beautiful columns of the Panthenon fill
an intangible need of the human art.
629
01:47:36,333 --> 01:47:39,405
Ladies and gentleman,
you can buy everything.
630
01:47:41,250 --> 01:47:43,867
Outside, tourists play finders keepers.
631
01:47:46,583 --> 01:47:50,030
For at the Acropolis,
one finds whatever one seeks.
632
01:48:24,250 --> 01:48:28,915
At the temple of Erechtheus the
goddess Athena won the city of Athens
633
01:48:29,125 --> 01:48:33,619
from Poseidon by making a sacred
olive tree spring from the ground.
634
01:48:35,667 --> 01:48:38,409
Much of Greek culture rested on its women.
635
01:48:47,833 --> 01:48:49,790
These graceful creatures are Caryatids.
636
01:48:50,750 --> 01:48:55,540
I told you Mabel, there is not much left
to see once you've seen the Acropolis.
637
01:48:55,542 --> 01:48:57,408
1 know, you're right, but I want...
638
01:48:57,833 --> 01:49:02,782
In Plutarch's life we find two sayings
of the oracle at Delphi.
639
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:08,958
Know thy self.
and nothing too much,
640
01:49:10,958 --> 01:49:14,826
which Plutarch says accord and harmonize
with each other.
641
01:49:16,625 --> 01:49:20,744
For in know thy self is included
nothing too much
642
01:49:23,792 --> 01:49:27,490
and so again in the latter is comprised
know thy self.
643
01:49:45,333 --> 01:49:51,033
The name of Metéora doesn't ring a bell for
us, its fourth century monasteries will.
644
01:49:53,042 --> 01:49:55,454
Four of them are still in inhabited.
645
01:49:56,833 --> 01:50:01,953
They nestle in the mountaintops,
nearest to god and farthest from the devil.
646
01:50:06,042 --> 01:50:08,704
Metéora means those that hang in the air.
647
01:50:34,667 --> 01:50:38,786
Meantime in the hills of ancient Thessaly
the stork carries on
648
01:50:38,958 --> 01:50:41,950
in his old-fashioned way,
as the oracle says,
649
01:50:42,833 --> 01:50:48,328
all things necessary the gods permit and
the Greeks are very proud of the result.
650
01:51:14,250 --> 01:51:16,241
The Evzones are mountain men.
651
01:51:17,750 --> 01:51:20,742
The evzone skirt is like the
highland quilt.
652
01:51:22,125 --> 01:51:25,823
But the Greek belt he wears stand
for courage and love.
653
01:51:29,542 --> 01:51:31,909
- Good morning your Heine's.
- Good morning.
654
01:51:32,083 --> 01:51:33,448
May I introduce our boys?
655
01:51:33,625 --> 01:51:35,457
- How do you do?
- Hello.
656
01:51:35,458 --> 01:51:38,780
Crown Prince Constantin is a
true Greek Olympian;
657
01:51:39,167 --> 01:51:44,116
he is a saltwater sailor and the
Olympic champion in the dragonfly class.
658
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,617
Well then, I think we better start now.
659
01:51:49,042 --> 01:51:54,116
The Crown Prince invites the boys
to a race. A Dragonfly against Lightnings.
660
01:52:45,708 --> 01:52:50,532
Ulysses sailed to Naples where
the Siren of Capri fell in love with him
661
01:52:51,750 --> 01:52:56,665
and when he didn't respond to her love,
she trough herself into the sea.
662
01:53:02,083 --> 01:53:06,372
The fisherman of Naples found her
and they named Naples after her,
663
01:53:06,625 --> 01:53:08,115
the city of Parthenope.
664
01:53:23,708 --> 01:53:26,666
They have the finest fish fries
outside of Cape Cod.
665
01:53:32,208 --> 01:53:37,328
Simple folk hang their washing in the sun
the flags of the heart of Naples.
666
01:54:14,875 --> 01:54:17,367
Naples has shining new apartments too,
667
01:54:17,667 --> 01:54:21,240
where the rich can hang their
nylons in the bathtub.
668
01:54:37,667 --> 01:54:41,581
The tourist rush began on Capri
in the second century BC.
669
01:54:43,458 --> 01:54:47,452
Nowadays the hydrofoil will take
you there in a few minutes.
670
01:55:20,917 --> 01:55:25,957
Capri is as splendid in reality as it is
in the lines of the poet Shelley.
671
01:55:28,875 --> 01:55:33,790
The sun is warm, the sky is clear,
the waves are dancing fast and bright.
672
01:55:56,292 --> 01:56:01,492
The romans called capreae the island
of goats, the pearl of the bay of Naples.
673
01:56:20,792 --> 01:56:26,538
And Capri is one to all men,
where the rich eat spaghetti in the sun
674
01:56:26,542 --> 01:56:31,616
and the poor eat spaghetti in the sun
and sailors eat spaghetti in the sun.
675
01:57:26,708 --> 01:57:31,373
Everywhere the blue waters of
the Mediterranean sparkle in the sun,
676
01:57:31,375 --> 01:57:34,333
beckoning young men to
the isle of mermaids.
677
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:44,698
Where you ever in Capri
bonnie laddie, highland laddie?
678
01:57:45,375 --> 01:57:49,369
Where the sky is in the sea,
bonnie laddie, highland laddie.
679
01:57:52,500 --> 01:57:55,697
Hi Ho away she goes.
My bonnie, highland laddie.
680
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:32,915
The Riviera spreads its welcome mat
of golden beaches out for everyone.
681
01:58:32,917 --> 01:58:37,411
From lively Saint Tropez to Cannes,
from jazzy warmly Cannes to Nice,
682
01:58:38,667 --> 01:58:41,705
from calm Cap Ferrat
to the palace of Monaco.
683
01:58:42,958 --> 01:58:44,073
It is the season.
684
01:59:03,583 --> 01:59:07,451
Beware people at play for this
is the land of
685
01:59:08,625 --> 01:59:12,448
drink what wine we have today,
who cares about tomorrow.
686
01:59:14,833 --> 01:59:18,121
Where the newly arrived good time
Charlie may be
687
01:59:18,125 --> 01:59:23,074
yesterday's hastily departed embezzler
from London, New York or Brasilia.
688
01:59:25,542 --> 01:59:29,740
The Cote d'Azur, where bald headed kings
and blue-eyed chorus girls
689
01:59:29,750 --> 01:59:35,075
fall in love at first sight and at second
glance find, there was somebody else.
690
01:59:36,500 --> 01:59:39,913
To a native the Miami of Europe,
crass and brassy,
691
01:59:40,250 --> 01:59:45,199
live today and pay tomorrow and
start again at dawn before the tab comes.
692
02:00:05,458 --> 02:00:10,658
The tranquil idyllic south of France,
where Irish redheads bathe to be seen
693
02:00:10,667 --> 02:00:13,284
and the Siamese Princess bask incognito.
694
02:00:19,417 --> 02:00:23,365
(SINGING)
695
02:00:49,292 --> 02:00:54,366
Sur la plage, where French, Algerian,
Chinese, Tonkinese, Tahitian, Australian,
696
02:00:56,875 --> 02:01:01,699
German and cockney imitation Bardot's meet
and mingle sur la plage, on the beach.
697
02:01:11,208 --> 02:01:12,619
Beware people at play.
698
02:01:13,792 --> 02:01:17,160
And jack is every inch a sailor,
enjoying surely.
699
02:01:18,917 --> 02:01:22,865
(SINGING)
700
02:02:41,042 --> 02:02:45,787
Monaco is like the American hobo dream
of the big rock candy mountain,
701
02:02:46,083 --> 02:02:51,374
where princess pedal bicycles and the
sardine king sail by in floating palaces.
702
02:02:53,583 --> 02:02:55,824
And the Monegasques live tax-free.
703
02:03:20,167 --> 02:03:22,875
The boys meet Graham Hill in his Ferrari.
704
02:03:29,042 --> 02:03:31,534
And Phil Hill, the reigning champion.
705
02:03:35,750 --> 02:03:40,916
A man must have nerve and skill to tackle
the hairpin bins and winding curves
706
02:03:41,542 --> 02:03:43,374
of the Grand Prix de Monaco.
707
02:03:45,333 --> 02:03:49,156
It's the man who wins this battle,
not the engine alone.
708
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:57,868
The drivers have to make one hundred
circuits around the course,
709
02:04:57,875 --> 02:05:01,823
which is the most dangerous
two miles in the racing world.
710
02:05:09,958 --> 02:05:14,953
The captain admires a beautiful lady,
as Prince Rainier and Princess Grace
711
02:05:15,208 --> 02:05:17,950
began the ceremony to the starting stand.
712
02:05:30,625 --> 02:05:34,493
The man with the starting flag
is the chief of the course,
713
02:05:34,500 --> 02:05:37,572
Louis Chiron,
he won the race in the twenties.
714
02:06:17,250 --> 02:06:21,949
You can feel the tension in the air
as the cars rev up to the starting line.
715
02:06:21,958 --> 02:06:23,915
That's Jack Barbham in car 14.
716
02:06:35,958 --> 02:06:37,790
Watch the flag, they're off.
717
02:06:54,917 --> 02:06:59,081
The greatest gamble in Monte Carlo
today isn't at the casino,
718
02:06:59,083 --> 02:07:00,573
it's at the Grand Prix.
719
02:07:01,458 --> 02:07:05,907
The cars from all countries are
mainly Lotus, Ferraris, or Coopers.
720
02:07:53,417 --> 02:07:58,491
What these men find today in taking
chances in speed and personal safety,
721
02:07:58,500 --> 02:08:00,116
we gain tomorrow.
722
02:08:17,292 --> 02:08:21,490
It's a tremendous feeling in the
cockpit of one of those cars.
723
02:08:23,375 --> 02:08:27,243
That's Phil Hill, the man,
who hit the bank of Monte Carlo.
724
02:08:32,458 --> 02:08:36,952
Last year's champ and this year's
ex-champ by the looks of things.
725
02:09:33,417 --> 02:09:38,366
(MUSIC)
726
02:11:17,958 --> 02:11:21,531
They hit the straight way,
the checkered flag for...
727
02:11:22,833 --> 02:11:24,790
...Bruce McLaren!
728
02:11:26,417 --> 02:11:32,368
And the Princess
hails the new champion.
729
02:11:37,917 --> 02:11:42,491
First the boys join Prince Rainier,
Princess Grace and the excited Monegasques
730
02:11:42,500 --> 02:11:44,867
and hail the new King Bruce McLaren.
731
02:11:54,875 --> 02:11:59,073
Naturally, sailors go for soft shoulders
and dangerous curves.
732
02:12:17,375 --> 02:12:21,664
In my grand prix go mobile I have
a heart shaped steering wheel.
733
02:12:23,708 --> 02:12:27,827
Chasing you is lots of fun,
though there is only room for one.
734
02:12:30,625 --> 02:12:34,573
(MUSIC)
735

(SHANTY SINGING)
736
02:15:18,083 --> 02:15:22,281
In Barcelona, the duty watch would
dearly like to swim ashore.
737
02:15:22,708 --> 02:15:24,449
It's a great liberty town.
738
02:15:24,958 --> 02:15:29,156
Vamos amigos, adelante, adelante.
Welcome to Barcelona.
739
02:15:39,542 --> 02:15:42,910
The captain stays with his ship,
the Santa Maria,
740
02:15:44,042 --> 02:15:49,287
which he will give his small son, one of
who's heroes is Christopher Columbus.
741
02:15:52,208 --> 02:15:55,951
Nothing could drag him away
from finishing the model,
742
02:15:55,958 --> 02:15:58,996
not all the Kings horses or
all the Kings men.
743
02:16:37,250 --> 02:16:41,323
When the American Indians
first saw the Spanish conquistadores
744
02:16:41,333 --> 02:16:46,248
riding their magnificent Arab horses,
they believed man and horse to be
745
02:16:46,250 --> 02:16:48,537
a mythical creature like a centaur.
746
02:16:50,167 --> 02:16:52,249
In Spain, man and horse are one.
747
02:16:53,625 --> 02:16:57,118
De Guardia di Barcelona are
amongst Spain's finest.
748
02:16:59,167 --> 02:17:01,454
The Arabs they ride are
the direct descendants
749
02:17:01,458 --> 02:17:04,246
of the hot-blooded stallions of the Moors.
750
02:18:38,958 --> 02:18:43,577
It's easy to understand the Arabs believe
that Allah fashioned the Arab horse
751
02:18:43,750 --> 02:18:45,582
from the magic of the winds.
752
02:18:59,667 --> 02:19:04,992
Grenada is filled with living memories
of the Moors, in the beautiful Alhambra,
753
02:19:05,208 --> 02:19:09,998
home of the Moorish Kings, which
was taken back by Ferdinand and Isabella,
754
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:13,163
in the year in which the Moors
were driven out.
755
02:19:13,542 --> 02:19:17,991
The year that Christopher Columbus
opened the way to the new world.
756
02:19:21,042 --> 02:19:25,411
The Moors also gave Spain
the musical scale of the Moorish lute,
757
02:19:26,292 --> 02:19:31,833
the cool crystal fountains,
the shady gardens...
758
02:19:40,375 --> 02:19:45,916
...and the anguished cry of the sajdah,
which rings through Seville in holy week.
759
02:19:47,375 --> 02:19:49,332
The Moorish lament.
760
02:19:54,500 --> 02:19:57,458
Santa semana, holy week in Seville,
761
02:19:57,792 --> 02:20:02,241
most truly reflects the passionate
character of the Spanish people.
762
02:20:11,750 --> 02:20:16,916
Day and night, the brotherhoods of the
Penitentes, carry their heavy Pasos,
763
02:20:16,917 --> 02:20:22,663
one of Christ one of the Virgin, from palm
Sunday until the joyous pealing
764
02:20:22,667 --> 02:20:23,953
of the bells on Easter Sunday.
765
02:20:32,333 --> 02:20:36,907
Many Sevillanos belong to one of these
brotherhoods of Penitantes,
766
02:20:36,917 --> 02:20:42,287
which they enter as children, like the
children who walk these narrow streets,
767
02:20:42,292 --> 02:20:45,660
scented with the aroma of burning
beeswax candles.
768
02:20:54,208 --> 02:20:58,452
The sunshine of Seville is in the
warm hearts of the people,
769
02:20:58,458 --> 02:21:02,577
which is why Seville women give their
jewels to La Macarena,
770
02:21:07,125 --> 02:21:09,913
of whom the great poet Lope de Vega said:
771
02:21:10,333 --> 02:21:14,247
"At dawn the virgin is born and
with her the sun,
772
02:21:14,250 --> 02:21:18,198
but who bears the sun,
cannot fear the night”.
773
02:21:31,750 --> 02:21:34,822
The men wear hoods in mourning
for holy week.
774
02:21:40,042 --> 02:21:45,617
Through the narrow streets where Cervantes
is in jail and he is immortal, Don Quixote.
775
02:21:48,292 --> 02:21:52,035
Yet on Easter Sunday,
the same sad faces will rejoice.
776
02:22:02,542 --> 02:22:06,160
Seville is the city of Figaro,
of Don Juan, of Carmen.
777
02:22:09,958 --> 02:22:15,078
Sevillanos take everything in life
with great passion, which is why Seville
778
02:22:15,083 --> 02:22:17,575
is the spiritual heart of Andalusia.
779
02:22:22,417 --> 02:22:27,241
Tonight the chanted lament,
tomorrow the trumped and the flamenco,
780
02:22:27,250 --> 02:22:29,708

782
02:25:47,292 --> 02:25:48,953
La Feria, the spring fair.
783
02:25:52,167 --> 02:25:56,456
Every Spaniard is a caballero,
if he has the right hat to wear.
784
02:25:57,542 --> 02:25:58,998
A flat brim sevillano.
785

Muy Caballo, muy mujer.
786
02:26:04,083 --> 02:26:07,701
Fine horse, a pretty girl
that makes the spring fair.
787
02:26:10,875 --> 02:26:13,287
Everyone is young at the spring fair;
788
02:26:14,083 --> 02:26:17,121
the perfume of orange blossoms
fills the air.
789
02:26:18,167 --> 02:26:21,125
Green is the spirit of Seville
at the Feria.
790
02:26:25,167 --> 02:26:30,458
Spring brings out the greenest of the
green horns and the fairest of the fair.
791
02:26:43,542 --> 02:26:47,957
The tiniest niflo is an Andalusian
gipsy to the littlest caballero,
792
02:26:48,250 --> 02:26:50,867
if she has the right flower in her hair.
793
02:27:00,625 --> 02:27:02,332
Verde, yo te quiero verde.

marks the opening of the bullfight season.

Enter of the toreros,
the picadors and the matadors.

02:27:46,917 --> 02:27:51,616
The stage is the plaza de toros de Sevilla.
The golden sands of the Guarda Cordia.
798
02:29:35,958 --> 02:29:39,405
The elegant grace and spirit
of the Seville Bullring
799
02:29:39,667 --> 02:29:42,955
is in the zestful heel cap of
the Seville dance.
800
02:29:45,417 --> 02:29:47,909
Are they two things or the one thing?
801
02:30:16,542 --> 02:30:21,241
In the little narrow streets away from
the bright lights of the Feria,
802
02:30:21,417 --> 02:30:24,535
sailors are making their farewells
to Seville.
803
02:30:26,708 --> 02:30:31,248
A hundred days and nights in the
Mediterranean will shine as brightly
804
02:30:31,250 --> 02:30:36,745
and as unforgettably, as the lights of the
Feria in the minds of these young men.
805
02:30:58,042 --> 02:31:01,410
One by one, they make their
way back to the ship,

taking home silver combs and laced
mantillas to go with the gold bangles

02:31:08,625 --> 02:31:11,583
and shells that sing of the sea.
808

The men, who stand by to sail home on the
dawn tide, are men whose eyes
