0:00:43 > 0:00:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Oh, please, no. Not on a Sunday.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Hello there!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- Hello.- Excuse me...
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Oi!
0:01:16 > 0:01:17SHE WHISTLES
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Herbert! What can I do for you?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Nothing. Thank you. I am looking for Gracie Fields.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Hey! Here! Me. I'm Gracie Fields.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Yes! You're Gracie Fields!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39You really had me fooled there for a moment.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43I'm Monty Banks.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Montagu Banks. Motion Picture Director. Hollywood.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48The best.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Surely you've been told about me?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I don't like doing motion pictures, I'm afraid, Mr Banks.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I can't stand the sitting around.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56But you've never made a picture with Monty Banks.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I know, what a shame.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Goodbye, Mr Banks.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- The Compulsory Husband?- No.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06Almost A Honeymoon?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Falling In Love? - No, I've never seen any of them.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I don't have much time to go to the pictures.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- And you don't like the sitting around.- Exactly.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Well, there's no sitting around with Monty Banks.- I can see that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Miss Fields, I've seen all your movies...
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Don't worry. I'm not so keen on them either.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And I can tell you're having no fun, the camera cannot lie.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28With Monty Banks, it is always fun, fun, fun!
0:02:28 > 0:02:30The films pay for my bills, that's...
0:02:30 > 0:02:31Oooph!
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Mr Banks!
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Are you all ri...
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Did you know I was one of the Keystone Cops, Miss Fields?
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Why, you...
0:02:37 > 0:02:42I've worked with Fatty Arbuckle, Mack Sennett, Harold Lloyd,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and now I want to work with you.
0:02:44 > 0:02:50I can make Gracie Fields an even bigger star than she is already.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Well, I suppose you'd better come in for a cup of tea.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01'The most popular distinction in the New Year's Honours list is, of course, for our Gracie.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05'Here she is on her way to Buckingham Palace to collect her CBE
0:03:05 > 0:03:06'for services to entertainment.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09'The crowd brace the cold outside to catch a glimpse of her.'
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Shall we show the lads, mother?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Ooh, it's beautiful. Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Here y'are, lads.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16'Her latest picture, Queen of Hearts,

0:03:18 > 0:03:21'Thousands of eager fans turned up for the opening of what is

0:04:02 > 0:04:03< Gracie.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07It's me again. Monty.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12The surgeon says you are a fighter, so...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Keep fighting.
0:04:21 > 0:04:28I worked you too hard on that bloody film, and all the time you were ill.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41Gracie, there's something I've been wanting to tell you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Gracie, I...

0:05:07 > 0:05:10The whole country's praying for you.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Look!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Are you all right, love?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Shh. She's trying to speak.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Don't try to talk, love.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No love, leave that to your mother!
0:05:41 > 0:05:43You're going to be fine, Grace.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47You're going to live.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56# I love the moon
0:05:58 > 0:06:01# I love the sun

0:06:06 > 0:06:10# The flowers, the fun
0:06:12 > 0:06:17# I love the wild birds
0:06:19 > 0:06:26# The dawn and the dew
0:06:28 > 0:06:36# But best of all
0:06:36 > 0:06:41# I love you
0:06:41 > 0:06:46# I love you. #
0:06:52 > 0:06:56And now, I want to thank you all again a thousand times
0:06:56 > 0:07:01for the great love and affection you have shown for me.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04And thank you, Mr BBC. Good night.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07And God bless you all.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13Ow! My bloody fingers!
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Monty, you daft pie-can, put the lights back on!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I didn't do anything. It's a power cut.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23Everyone must have put their kettles on for a nice cup of tea.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Always mayhem, wherever you go.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Have you dropped something?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29What are you looking for?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I... nothing.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Was I all right?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36You were wonderful.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50"Dear Councillor Roberts,
0:07:50 > 0:07:53"I was very, very happy to receive your letter of good wishes,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56"and do thank you so very much for your kind offer
0:07:56 > 0:07:57"to send me some kippers."
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Buckingham Palace, look. I recognise the envelope.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01It's the same as the CBE.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05"Unfortunately, I shall be going to Italy to convalesce later today,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09"and I'm not sure that kippers will survive the passage to the Isle Of Capri."
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I do hope you know what you're doing, flitting off to a foreign country.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Shush, Mama!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17"I hope to return to these shores fit and well in the near future.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20"By which time I'm sure I shall be desperate for a kipper,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22"since I won't have had one since the last one you sent...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24"and by gum, they were extra..."
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Well?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29What did you think? Is that one for you?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I've told you, Harry, I'm not looking for new songs.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I'm giving this old voice a rest.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That lovely surgeon told me to take two years off.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Two years! What does a surgeon know about show business?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44I've never known you to take more than two days off.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47How on earth are you going to amuse yourself for two whole years?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49This is a new start, Harry.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50A new life now.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I've worked these old bones into the ground.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57But the good Lord has seen fit to give me another chance, so...
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Monty's here.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You're not going to let him see you looking like that, are you?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03You look like death warmed up.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05That's exactly what I am, in't it?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Oh, you can be very coarse, Grace.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah, well.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Just don't count on me having any songs left for you when you return.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15Goodbye, Harry!
0:09:23 > 0:09:24Good morning!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Not more post!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29No. I met Santa Claus on the stairs.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30Hey! No lifting! No carrying.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34This goes straight to Mary. She can deal with it while you are away.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Is this you?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42That's better. I see it now.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Where's your wave set?- I don't know.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46You probably packed it.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Oi! Get off my fan mail!
0:09:47 > 0:09:51"Dear Miss Fields, blah blah blah,
0:09:51 > 0:09:55"if you could send me five pounds, I would be able to pay my milk bill."
0:09:55 > 0:09:59Always asking for something! This can wait. Stop now.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The taxi will be here any minute.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Monty. Come with me.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06To Capri, with you?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Oh, come on, it'd be a hoot.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- A hoot?- Yes!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I don't know if I can play the fool 24 hours a day
0:10:14 > 0:10:15if you just want to have a hoot.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20And you speak the language. We can't speak the language, none of us.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21Us?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Yes, Well, I'm taking Mary to deal with all this post,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26and Mum and Dad are coming on a later boat and...
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Well, I don't know.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29'I am speaking to you
0:10:29 > 0:10:33'from the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street.'
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Passport! I will need my passport!
0:10:36 > 0:10:39'This morning, the German ambassador in Berlin
0:10:39 > 0:10:43'handed the German government a final note,
0:10:43 > 0:10:48'stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock
0:10:48 > 0:10:54'that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58'a state of war would exist between us.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01'I have to tell you now
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'that no such undertaking has been received,
0:11:04 > 0:11:10'and that consequently, this country is at war with Germany.'
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I telephoned the shipping company.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21We can get a later boat.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Basil bloody Dean.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- You can't stand him anyway.- Shh!
0:11:24 > 0:11:26It's true.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31It's useful if a comedy director actually knows something about making people laugh.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33And if he likes to laugh himself.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37The only thing that makes Basil laugh is his pay check, all the way to the bank.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Hello, Gracie.- Hello, Basil.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Hello, Basil.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Monty. Come in, Gracie.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Miriam will get you a cup of tea, Monty. Out here.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Can I get you anything, Mr Banks?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57Tell me, Miriam,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59do you play cards?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05I've spoken to Olivier, Richardson, and now Gielgud.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08They'll all be bringing Shakespeare to the troops to help boost morale.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Oh. Right.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I think our boys will take great solace
0:12:12 > 0:12:14from the words of our island's greatest poet.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more."
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Yes, well, Basil, I don't know much about breaches, so why have you brought me here?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Your audience loves you because they think you're one of them.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- I am one of them.- You can turn any theatre into their front room, they feel at home with you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31You put a smile on their faces.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34So instead of a bit of "To be or not to be",
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I can give them a bit of "Fiddly diddly dee".
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Precisely.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Basil, will you please pay your secretary early this week.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43What? Why?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Because she's losing at cards and I want my money.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Will you leave us, please.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I'm sorry, Miriam, it will have to be strip poker.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00Look at these films we did together, and they made people laugh too.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04I've been considering setting up impromptu picture houses in northern France.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08They don't want films, they want the real thing!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Now, I know you've been unwell.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Did you get my flowers by the way?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Telegram.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Telegram? Right...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Well, the plan is to start with a series of concerts in northern France.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Keep our boys' spirits up, get them singing and laughing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- But it'll be a tough three or four shows a day.- I can do it, Basil.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Now more than ever. I have to.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Gracie, be serious.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Six weeks ago, you were on your deathbed.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37They say work is the best tonic.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Schweppes is the best tonic.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43The best tonic, drunk with gin on the terrace of a hotel in Capri.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Capri will have to wait, Monty.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'm going to sing to our lads in France.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50And no-one can stop me.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54'A great welcome for Gracie Fields,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56'when she entertains our lads in France.'
0:13:58 > 0:14:02# Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye
0:14:02 > 0:14:06# Cheerio, here I go, on my way... #
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Come on, lads, you know the words!
0:14:10 > 0:14:14# Not a tear, but a cheer, make it gay
0:14:15 > 0:14:18# Give me a smile, I can keep all the while
0:14:18 > 0:14:21# In my heart while I'm away
0:14:22 > 0:14:26# Till we meet once again you and I
0:14:26 > 0:14:28# Wish me luck
0:14:28 > 0:14:33# As you wave me goodbye. #
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Cheerio everybody. God bless.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37I'll do my best for ya.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Reporting for duty!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I can't wear this shirt. Look at me, I look like Chaplin.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49We've all got to wear uniform.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52What would happen if we got captured, eh?
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- They'd have you for a spy.- A spy?
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Not a very good spy, but a spy all the same.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00I will write to my tailor, see if he can make me some of these shirts in linen.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Hey, you insisted in coming along. Nobody forced you.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Why did you come in the first place?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Because I am a motion picture director and you are my star.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10And we have another picture to make together when this is over,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and I would like to make sure you live long enough to do it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Well, then, stop your mithering. - My what?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16You heard.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20It's stuck!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Come on! We're going to be late!
0:15:36 > 0:15:42- What's so funny? - You're a daft beggar, Monty.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50I bet you were a naughty child, weren't you?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52That's all you are really, isn't it?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56A big naughty kid with a pencil moustache.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57No. That is not all I am.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01It's a shame you never had children.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03You would make a wonderful mother.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Well, it's not going to happen now, is it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10So best not to think about it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:1341-year-old with all your insides out.
0:16:13 > 0:16:1741 years old with the rest of your life ahead of you.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22HORN SOUNDS
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Eh up. Cavalry's arrived.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's our lads. They'll get us out.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oh. Must have gone for reinforcements.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I think maybe you have been recognised.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44All right, lads!
0:16:44 > 0:16:46No. They'll get in.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's you, isn't it?
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- It is.- It is, love. - It's her. It's Gracie Fields!
0:16:51 > 0:16:52Sing us a song, Gracie!
0:16:52 > 0:16:56They said you were coming, this lot didn't believe it. But I believed it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Oh, sing us a song, Gracie. - Don't be ridiculous.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00The cold air will ruin your voice.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04If you don't look after the voice, it will leave you. Forever.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05You're right.
0:17:07 > 0:17:08Maybe just one.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Miss Fields! Will you sing one for me?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Remind me of my sweetheart.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- I don't half miss her, Miss Fields. Please.- Of course I will, lad.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18- What's her name?- It's Sally.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- I thought it might be. - Would you sing "Sally" for me?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25You're weak. You sing in the cold, your voice will go before the concert.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26Laryngitis. Bronchitis.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Pneumonia. Double pneumonia.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30How long will you last?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Look at him, Monty. Look at the little lad.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35How long's he going to last, eh?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Never mind me. How long is he going to last?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41It's why I'm here.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43Come on, then, lads!
0:17:44 > 0:17:49You'll have to help me out. Get round the bumper.
0:17:52 > 0:18:00# The skies were blue when I met you, Sally
0:18:02 > 0:18:07# You were my gal, my little pal so true
0:18:09 > 0:18:16# You came along, made life a song, Sally
0:18:16 > 0:18:19# If I lost you
0:18:19 > 0:18:24# I wonder what I'd do
0:18:27 > 0:18:34# Sally, Sally, don't ever wander
0:18:35 > 0:18:40# Away from the alley and me
0:18:41 > 0:18:48# Sally, Sally, marry me, Sally
0:18:48 > 0:18:54# And happy forever I'll be
0:18:54 > 0:18:57# When skies are blue
0:18:57 > 0:19:00# You're beguiling
0:19:01 > 0:19:03# And when they're grey
0:19:03 > 0:19:05# You're still smiling
0:19:05 > 0:19:12# Smiling, Sally, Sally
0:19:12 > 0:19:17# Pride of our alley
0:19:17 > 0:19:21# You're more than
0:19:21 > 0:19:26# The whole world to me. #
0:19:29 > 0:19:31You should wait till I've finished.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34You shouldn't start mucking about now!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# Walter and me, we've been courtin' for years
0:19:43 > 0:19:46# But he's never asked me to wed
0:19:47 > 0:19:51# When Leap Year comes round, I give three hearty cheers
0:19:51 > 0:19:54# Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray
0:19:54 > 0:19:57# Because I do the askin' instead
0:19:58 > 0:20:02# I don't want to die an old maid
0:20:03 > 0:20:08# So I sing him this serenade
0:20:09 > 0:20:14# Walter, Walter
0:20:14 > 0:20:18# Lead me to the altar
0:20:18 > 0:20:21# I don't cost much to keep in food
0:20:24 > 0:20:26# Walter, come on
0:20:26 > 0:20:32# Walter, lead me to the altar
0:20:32 > 0:20:36# And I'll show you where I'm tattooed. #
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Ee, you dirty lot.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39It's not where you think.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Goodbye, lads! See you soon.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50You don't need to worry about a hardy lass from the north.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Yes, I do.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54SHE COUGHS
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Hey. Come on. They say this war will be over by Christmas.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We have to do this, Monty.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- We?- You and me.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06We've got to stick at what we can do.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08This is what we are.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10This is what we're good at.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13I'm going to have to go back on.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19All right.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22There's other people waiting to come on, you know, it's not just me!
0:21:22 > 0:21:26All right then, what we going to have? Come on.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31CAROL SINGING IN BACKGROUND
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Night, lads.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37You're incorrigible. Don't encourage them.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I think I'll keep this on for the moment.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Is it me or is it right cold in here?- It's you.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Eh, one of the lads gave me this.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Merry Christmas, Monty. Come on.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- You are too weak even to pull a cracker.- Oh, shuddup!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Sorry to disturb you, Miss Fields.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13The lads in the bar sent me, they're wondering if you'd join them.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It being Christmas and all.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17She's eating her dinner. Eat your dinner.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Get her some dinner to eat.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21After we've eaten, love, then I'll come over.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Thank you, Miss Fields!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31I'm not expecting a call, am I?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35No. It's for me. Stanley Laurel?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What does he want on Christmas Eve?
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Hello, Stan. Hi. How are you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I don't know what I'm doing in France.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, while you're on the telephone.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49No, Grace.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51No, no, I'm listening.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55CHEERING
0:23:07 > 0:23:08- Shall we do a funny one first?- Yeah!
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Right, Chopin, never cried so much in all me life.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13# Ooooooh...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I like it, yes, it could be very funny.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Yes, I am listening.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Yes.
0:23:24 > 0:23:29Let me call you. Yes, and ah, how is your large friend?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32# Red sails in the sunset
0:23:34 > 0:23:36# Way out on the sea... #
0:23:48 > 0:23:49Thank you very much, lads.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I'm going to have to rest this old throat, you know!
0:24:01 > 0:24:08# I'm sending a letter to Santa Claus
0:24:08 > 0:24:15# A letter I hope he'll receive
0:24:17 > 0:24:22# He'll get a lot of letters for playthings
0:24:22 > 0:24:25# From other girls and boys
0:24:26 > 0:24:29# But I want my soldier daddy
0:24:29 > 0:24:33# He's better than all the toys
0:24:35 > 0:24:42# And so I'm sending my letter to Santa Claus
0:24:45 > 0:24:52# To bring Daddy safely home to me. #
0:25:45 > 0:25:47There you are.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48What happened to you?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I lost my appetite.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54What are you doing?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57We're not leaving here till the day after tomorrow.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'm going back to America.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01America. What for?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04They've asked me to direct a picture. Laurel and Hardy.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06But there's a war on!
0:26:06 > 0:26:12Oh, OK. Is that why there are soldiers everywhere? Of course!
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And everywhere there's a soldier there's another song
0:26:19 > 0:26:22and another picture and another ruined dinner!
0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, I'm telling you, there is no war in Hollywood.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- You can't go Monty.- Why not?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Because you keep me going.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36I can't do this without you, you make me laugh.
0:26:36 > 0:26:43It's more than that. You and me, we're...you know.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48What? You and me what?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Go on, say it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57Please say it. Because it is killing me to be here, in love with you!
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Miss Fields!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02All right, lads!
0:27:02 > 0:27:04They've shut the bar, Miss Fields!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Ten to twelve on Christmas Eve and they've shut the bar.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Then go to bed!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12We wanted to see Christmas Day in with a song.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27If they've shut the bar, then you can all come back to my room!
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Come on!
0:27:32 > 0:27:34All right then, what are we going to have?
0:27:36 > 0:27:41# And so I'm sending my letter to Santa Claus
0:27:43 > 0:27:50# To bring Daddy safely home to me. #
0:27:50 > 0:27:54MUFFLED CHEERING
0:28:09 > 0:28:11KNOCK ON DOOR
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Merry Christmas.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Did they bring your case down yet?
0:28:58 > 0:29:02The convoy leaves at nine if you want to get out of here.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10You're right, you know. You're better off in Hollywood.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13This isn't your war.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Anyway, it'll all be over soon and I'll be straight on that boat to Capri.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34The first time I went to Capri,
0:29:34 > 0:29:38as a young man, there was a boy out swimming.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42The boy started struggling. He got pulled down by the current.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46So his father dived in to save him.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50But it was no good. They both got pulled down together.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Imagine that, Grace.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00To try to save someone only to get dragged down with them.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02That's tragic.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07It could have been.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09But the boy, he suddenly reappeared.
0:30:09 > 0:30:16The sea spat him up and he swam safely to shore.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17And the father?
0:30:18 > 0:30:19The father, he vanished.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Then he appeared, fifty yards down the beach.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31And he walks up to his son and
0:30:31 > 0:30:36gives him the biggest bloody hiding you ever seen.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Don't let me drown, Monty.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Please don't let me drown.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Convoy to Calais leaving now!
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Last chance for Calais, Mr Banks.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Gracie, Miss Fields.- Hello, lads.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08I've got a Brownie Miss Fields, could we have a picture?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Of course, come on.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12They'd never believe us back home.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13You're keeping us going, Miss Fields.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14EXPLOSION
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- You shouldn't be here, Miss Fields. - Why's that, then?
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Because you're a blinking film star.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Film stars don't deserve to be in the cold and mud having bombs dropped on 'em.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23I can think of plenty who do.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25LOUDER EXPLOSION
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Come on lads, let's show 'em.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30# Me brother's joined the army and he's gone across to France
0:31:30 > 0:31:34# With the biggest aspidistra in the world
0:31:34 > 0:31:36# The Colonel says that's topping
0:31:36 > 0:31:37# Let's start the big advance
0:31:37 > 0:31:41# With the biggest aspidistra in the world
0:31:48 > 0:31:50# Then Goebbels saw it from afar
0:31:50 > 0:31:52# And said to his old Frau
0:31:52 > 0:31:54# Young Joe has got his blood up
0:31:54 > 0:31:56# So the war's all over now
0:31:56 > 0:31:59# Cos they're going to string old Hitler
0:31:59 > 0:32:02# From the very highest bough
0:32:02 > 0:32:06# Of the biggest aspidistra in the world! #
0:32:14 > 0:32:15This one's from Mama.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Her eyesight's getting even worse.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21I should send them to live in California, shouldn't I?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24That house of mine is sitting there empty.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Yes. With its swimming pool, and its sunny veranda.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Eh, listen to this. She says,
0:32:29 > 0:32:33"Grace, these eyes of mine are going fast, I want to see you wed."
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Oh. Really.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Halt. Stop the vehicle.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39For God's sake, what now?
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Good afternoon, Miss Fields.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48I'm sorry to bother you.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52I'm afraid there's been a change of plan. You're going to have to turn back.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- What for? - It's too late for a bloody encore.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Mr Basil Dean is recalling all ENSA artists back to Britain.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- He's what?- He's what?
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Too dangerous!
0:33:01 > 0:33:05What does Basil Dean know, sitting in his blinking office back home.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Goebbels is after you, for heaven's sake. It's there in black and white.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11In German. I don't understand German, neither do you.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13I understand what the officer told you.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Gracie Fields has earned for England enough to buy 100 new Spitfires.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19She is a war industry and she'll be treated accordingly.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Do I look like a war industry to you?- Yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25What about the concerts they're cancelling? What about our lads?
0:33:25 > 0:33:26We can't let them down.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Whatever happened to "The Show Must Go On"?- They'll have to wait.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Well, we can always tour the factories at home, can't we?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- No, we shall be otherwise engaged. - What are you mumbling about?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Will you, Grace Stansfield, marry me, Mario Bianchi?
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Ee, you daft pie-can! What took you so long?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03You sure you're doing the right thing?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Monty showed me. Hold the cork still and twist the bottle!
0:34:08 > 0:34:09CORK POPS
0:34:09 > 0:34:12You know what I'm talking about. All a bit sudden, wasn't it?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Eee, you're a misery Harry.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Another career move, is it? Hollywood director.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I wouldn't give a damn if he was a funeral director.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21There's security in that.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Hey, that's enough.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25There's a war on. Cheers.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Cheers. Eh, I hear you've joined up.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Irish Guards. - Why not the Welsh ones?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Irish Guards have got a better piano.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Mrs Stansfield,
0:34:36 > 0:34:39you know she's doing Drury Lane again.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40With Maurice Chevalier.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43You like him, don't you, Mrs Stansfield?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I wish he'd sing in English.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47No offence, Monty.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48No offence taken.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Soon you will be able to call me son.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Well. At least I'll see you wed before you ship me off to America.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You know it's for your own benefit.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01The doctor said the climate will do your eyes no end of good.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04First thing I'm going to do is get myself a new Stetson.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06- You are not!- I bloody am.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Did you know, Monty, that's how we started courting, Jenny and I.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13She saw me walking through Rochdale wearing a cowboy hat I bought
0:35:13 > 0:35:19when I was on the cargo ships to California, and she thought I must be a film star.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Santa Monica, Jenny, is the playground of the stars.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Sunshine. That big house with its lovely swimming pool...
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I'm not going in no swimming pool.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32You used to swim in the canal, woman!
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Stick a couple of dead cats and an old bike in that pool and she'll be in it like a shot.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38You've had enough.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I'd had enough about forty years ago.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43They all end up like their mothers, Monty.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Hard luck, mate.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51We don't do that in Rochdale.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Come on, Fred, we're going.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Is this what you're looking for, Dad?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05Oh, There it is. Don't tell your mother.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Am I doing the right thing, Dad?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11You love him, don't you?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Of course.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17He's a right gent and that, Grace.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19You know he asked my permission and everything?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22I said, "You're mistaking me for the man in charge here, Monty,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24"you better ask Jenny."
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Eh, you're not marrying him just because your ma told you to?
0:36:27 > 0:36:30Of course not. I learned my lesson.
0:36:30 > 0:36:37Do you remember that game you all used to play when you were a nipper back in Rochdale?
0:36:37 > 0:36:41You used to grab the back of the tram and run hell for leather.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44It's a wonder we weren't all killed!
0:36:44 > 0:36:52Run and run and run, faster and faster, and wait till the last possible moment before you let go.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59You know, it seems to me that you never stopped running ever since.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Fred. You and me, we're going now.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I've just opened another bottle of champagne, love.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Now, I said. Leave them to it.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I'll see you tomorrow, love.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Come on, love, let's go.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21Come on.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Mrs Bianchi!
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Just five minutes for the egg, please!
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- Who are you?- I'm Mrs Bianchi.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I like it. Mrs Bianchi.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Grace Bianchi. - But where is old Mrs Bianchi?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Oh, her.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- Hold on.- I miss her.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17That's better.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20- Prima Colazione.- Ah!
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Where is my newspaper, Old Mrs Bianchi?
0:38:24 > 0:38:27SHE MUMBLES AND WHINES
0:38:27 > 0:38:29La la la la la la la!
0:38:29 > 0:38:33That's what I call service.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Good God. Did you see this?
0:38:39 > 0:38:42This is the hotel we stayed in at Arras. Bombed. Seven people dead.
0:38:42 > 0:38:48What are the Germans doing, bombing hotels? Innocent people.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Obviously they thought you were still there.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55Maybe someone really is looking after you.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59For the moment, you are safe here.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01They can't stop us, Monty.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Goebbels, Hitler,
0:39:04 > 0:39:05none of them.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14TELEPHONE RINGS
0:39:21 > 0:39:22Hello?
0:39:22 > 0:39:23It is.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Well, thank you very much.
0:39:29 > 0:39:30Oh, I see.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Right.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37Right.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Well, thank you for warning us.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I will, yes.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Goodbye.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47What's wrong? Who was that?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50That was Lord Castlerosse on the phone, Monty.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Ah...
0:39:52 > 0:39:55He's had a tip-off.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57Italy look set to enter the war.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Any day now.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Mussolini with Hitler.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Well...
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I will be the enemy then.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10Don't worry.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I'm Italian. I surrender.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14This is no time for jokes, Monty.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17If you stay in England, you'll be interned.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19What did I do?
0:40:19 > 0:40:21You're Italian.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23That's a crime now?
0:40:23 > 0:40:24It will be, yes.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26You'll have to leave.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I'm not leaving you.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31If I leave you to look after yourself you'll work yourself to death.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34What use would you be stuck in prison, eh?
0:40:34 > 0:40:37We could both go. Come with me to America.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38I can't.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41How would it look if I abandoned my country now?
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Why didn't you become an American citizen all those years ago?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47I didn't get round to it!
0:40:47 > 0:40:48None of us did!
0:40:51 > 0:40:53What a mess.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I think there's someone I can talk to.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00Someone who can sort this out.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Who? Who can you talk to?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08So how is the new boss?
0:41:10 > 0:41:14He's very kind, to see my wife at such short notice.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Well... she is a Commander Of The British Empire,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20which obviously counts for something in matters like this.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21GRACIE WHISTLES
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Eh up...
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- we're going to Canada.- Canada?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32I'll do a nationwide tour, and you'll be safe.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36So we'll stay together? You on stage, me playing poker in the wings.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40Churchill's sending me there to raise money for the war effort, not lose it on cards!
0:41:40 > 0:41:45I never lose. When the Doctor gave you a 50/50 chance to live, I went to Ladbrokes...
0:41:45 > 0:41:47they give me 2/1. You made me very rich.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- You're a fool.- You're wonderful.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57NEWSREADER: Gracie Fields crosses the Atlantic to Canada.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00A brave undertaking in these dark and troubled times.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Oh, the welcoming committee's arrived.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Welcome to Canada, Miss Fields.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I'm honoured to be here.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- You are...Mario Bianchi?- I am.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I must ask you to accompany me please, sir.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Accompany you? OK. Where's the piano?
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- I'm arresting you, Mr Bianchi, on behalf of...- Hold on.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26This is my husband! Arrest him?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Why, what's he done?
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Mussolini has formally declared war on Britain.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33And Mr Bianchi is therefore an enemy alien.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Not here in Canada he's not!
0:42:35 > 0:42:37We are an allied nation at war, Miss Fields.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Italian nationals are to be interned.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42So I'm afraid you will have to come with me, Mr Bianchi.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- I'm coming too.- No, Gracie.- That won't be necessary, Miss Fields.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Oh yes, it will! I've come here to do concerts at the behest of Winston Churchill,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53Prime Minister of England, and he made no mention of performing in prison.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- Miss Fields.- If you arrest my husband, you arrest me.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Or you go and get your superior to sort this out.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I'm very sorry about all of this, Miss Fields.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07There was never any question of Mr Bianchi being arrested.
0:43:07 > 0:43:08A misunderstanding.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Thank you. So can we get on now?
0:43:11 > 0:43:16As per instructions, we are to guarantee your husband safe passage to California.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18But he's to accompany me on my tour!
0:43:18 > 0:43:22Once he has his American passport you will be free to travel together once more.
0:43:22 > 0:43:27- That is unacceptable! My wife has been very sick, she can't do it alone.- That's right.
0:43:27 > 0:43:32- So the tour is cancelled! My wife is coming with me! - No. Hold on Monty. I'm...
0:43:36 > 0:43:39You should consider yourself fortunate, Mr Bianchi,
0:43:39 > 0:43:43that special arrangements have been made for you.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46I'll let you say your farewells.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50He's assuming you're staying.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53I can't cancel all these shows, can I?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56You have to! You are coming with me to America...
0:43:56 > 0:43:58where everyone is welcome!
0:43:58 > 0:44:01I can't pull out of the tour. They need that money back at home.
0:44:01 > 0:44:04It's why I'm here!
0:44:04 > 0:44:07I thought we came to Canada so we could be together.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- We did but...- But all you can think of is them, them, them!
0:44:10 > 0:44:12You're not married to them, you're married to me!
0:44:17 > 0:44:19Come with me.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Mrs Bianchi.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25I can't let my country down.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28I can't forget all the love they've shown me.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30That isn't love!
0:44:30 > 0:44:33If that isn't love, then I don't know what is!
0:44:37 > 0:44:39No. Maybe you don't.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Goodbye, Gracie.
0:45:23 > 0:45:25Thanks, Guy.
0:45:40 > 0:45:46# Now is the hour
0:45:46 > 0:45:52# For me to say goodbye
0:45:52 > 0:45:54# Soon
0:45:54 > 0:45:58# I'll be sailing
0:45:58 > 0:46:04# Far across the sea
0:46:04 > 0:46:11# While I'm away
0:46:11 > 0:46:17# Oh, please remember me
0:46:17 > 0:46:23# When I return
0:46:23 > 0:46:32# I'll find you waiting here. #
0:46:32 > 0:46:34Stupid bloody man!
0:46:34 > 0:46:36Harry! Where did you come from?
0:46:36 > 0:46:38That musical director, bloody rude, he is!
0:46:38 > 0:46:40He ridiculed my accent the whole time!
0:46:40 > 0:46:44Our musical director? Harry, he's Welsh.
0:46:44 > 0:46:47He's as Welsh as you are.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49What part of Wales is he from?
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Welsh Wales, just like you!
0:46:51 > 0:46:56Well, there are some parts of Wales that you might consider to be Welsh
0:46:56 > 0:46:58that I, as a Welshman, wouldn't.
0:46:58 > 0:47:00Not necessarily.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02Come here, you daft ha'porth.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05Oh, I'm sorry, Grace.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09I'm a little bit uptight, you know. It's the piles again, see.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12Never mind your piles, whatever happened to the Irish Guards?
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Well I've been transferred, ain't I, thanks to you.
0:47:15 > 0:47:19Word got through that your new accompanist wasn't up to much, so here I am.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23And that piano they had in the Guards was probably the best I've ever played
0:47:23 > 0:47:25so I hope you're happy with yourself.
0:47:27 > 0:47:29No Monty?
0:47:29 > 0:47:31No.
0:47:31 > 0:47:32No Monty.
0:47:35 > 0:47:38I'll be doing 34 concerts here in Canada,
0:47:38 > 0:47:41and if they go well, I'll be straight back for some more.
0:47:41 > 0:47:44- All the proceeds will go to the Navy League?- Every single penny.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46I'll be stony broke by the end, I can tell you.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48I can tell you we are most pleased to have you here.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51And by gum, I'm pleased to be here, love.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55Do you think Canadians will have a problem understanding your Cockney accent?
0:47:55 > 0:47:57- Hee hee!- Left the bloody hotel without me, didn't you!
0:47:57 > 0:48:01- We couldn't wake you.- If I could... - Harry, my accompanist.- Harry.
0:48:01 > 0:48:05- Miss Fields says you have been her accompanist ten years.- That's a lie.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08I've been working for her for nine years and eleven months.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11- LAUGHTER - What are you laughing about? It's true!
0:48:11 > 0:48:12Your husband won't be joining you?
0:48:12 > 0:48:16No, I'll be meeting him in California when I'm finished here.
0:48:16 > 0:48:18What do you think of Vera Lynn?
0:48:18 > 0:48:19She's a bonny lass.
0:48:19 > 0:48:23They've started calling her The Forces' Sweetheart back in England.
0:48:23 > 0:48:26Well, yes. She's a lovely young thing. One last question.
0:48:26 > 0:48:31Mr Churchill recently announced the Battle of Britain has just begun in the skies over England.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34Do you have a message for everyone so many miles away back at home?
0:48:34 > 0:48:39Yes, tell them I'm working as hard as I can to raise the money that will help keep them safe
0:48:39 > 0:48:41and I'll be back as soon as humanly possible.
0:48:41 > 0:48:45Miss Fields, some of the English papers have suggested...
0:48:45 > 0:48:50- Bye!- ..patriotic for you to be here doing concerts when people are dying back in England.- Bye!
0:48:50 > 0:48:53Miss Fields...
0:49:00 > 0:49:03- Will that be all for today, ma'am? - Yes, thank you, Guy.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11He reminds me of that fellow that used to work for you.
0:49:11 > 0:49:13Years ago. Big fellow.
0:49:13 > 0:49:15I don't remember.
0:49:15 > 0:49:18Well, no, because you couldn't move for young men in those days.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Aye, and all of them after one thing.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23- Really?- Yes.
0:49:23 > 0:49:27"Miss Fields. I've got a song for you..."
0:49:27 > 0:49:30"Miss Fields, please, sing my song!"
0:49:30 > 0:49:34I had to hire that big fella to guard the stage door...
0:49:34 > 0:49:35Like an ape, he was.
0:49:35 > 0:49:37Like a gorilla. Massive.
0:49:37 > 0:49:41He only let you in because he thought you were a messenger boy.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45No, no, no. Because, even he could see my genius.
0:49:46 > 0:49:5017 years old, scrawny and with your thick spectacles.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53And a song that you bought on the spot.
0:49:53 > 0:49:58Ay, that's true. I sang it that very night.
0:49:59 > 0:50:07# I hate you for the agony and pain that I've been through
0:50:07 > 0:50:10# For the sorrow and the rain
0:50:10 > 0:50:14# That's just what I mean when I say
0:50:14 > 0:50:17# I hate you
0:50:20 > 0:50:24# I despise every little thing that you do
0:50:24 > 0:50:30# You'll find out what I say is only too true
0:50:30 > 0:50:34# Nobody knows how much I...
0:50:34 > 0:50:37# Hate you. #
0:50:37 > 0:50:40How could you write that? When you were only 17?
0:50:40 > 0:50:42Well, I told you. Genius.
0:50:42 > 0:50:45But how did you know about life?
0:50:47 > 0:50:49From listening to songs, I suppose.
0:50:49 > 0:50:50Same as me then.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Just listening to songs and singing them back.
0:50:53 > 0:50:54Over and over.
0:50:58 > 0:50:59You never had your heart broken?
0:51:04 > 0:51:07No. Of course not.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12I was only 17, wasn't I?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15We've sung about the lot of it, haven't we, Harry?
0:51:16 > 0:51:18Things that have never happened.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19Places we've never even been.
0:51:21 > 0:51:25I must have sung "I love you" 100,000 times, or more.
0:51:26 > 0:51:27It's what people want to hear.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30Yes, it is. You're right.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32It's what people want to hear.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34So it's what we do.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36Singing and making noises.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45Have you ever been in love, Harry?
0:51:52 > 0:51:55I think it's, um, I think it's time you went to bed.
0:51:58 > 0:52:00Yes. I suppose it is.
0:52:09 > 0:52:13- They're not so clever in Esher, Surrey are they, Guy?- No ma'am?
0:52:13 > 0:52:16"How sad and disappointed I am that you, Gracie Fields,
0:52:16 > 0:52:19"should run off with your wog husband in our hour of need.
0:52:19 > 0:52:24"He is a well-known fascist and I believe he was once a member of Al Capone's gang."
0:52:24 > 0:52:27He's not a wog, you silly fool.
0:52:27 > 0:52:28He's a wop.
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Some people.
0:52:30 > 0:52:36They seem to know that in Cheam, and Bognor and Stroud and Penzance...
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Why don't they know it in Esher?
0:52:40 > 0:52:43They're going to throw rotten eggs at me in Reading,
0:52:43 > 0:52:46and in Hitchin they're going to hang me from the highest...
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Is that how you spell bough?
0:52:50 > 0:52:51No.
0:52:54 > 0:52:56And no Y in Diego either.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06Three days now.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Three days since I've had a satisfactory movement.
0:53:08 > 0:53:11Good morning, Harry.
0:53:11 > 0:53:14I got half way through the stock and shares before I finally gave up.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17Oh, no, I wouldn't look at that if I were you.
0:53:17 > 0:53:20What you talking about? Give it here!
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Stuff and nonsense. All of it.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25What the heck...
0:53:25 > 0:53:26There. I told you not to read it.
0:53:26 > 0:53:30"Miss Gracie Fields has fled England with her Italian husband
0:53:30 > 0:53:37"and an estimated £100,000 in cash and a further fortune in jewellery?"
0:53:37 > 0:53:40How ridiculous can you get? How can they print such rubbish?
0:53:40 > 0:53:43There's a war on, for heaven's sake!
0:53:43 > 0:53:46What you looking at me like that for?
0:53:46 > 0:53:48Well? Did you?
0:53:48 > 0:53:51Of course I bloody didn't! It's a damned lie!
0:53:51 > 0:53:55- Is it?- Of course it is! - Well, I thought it was.
0:53:55 > 0:53:58It's a load of rubbish, and you know it!
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Why have you run away from England?
0:54:25 > 0:54:28- I've not. I'm here to perform. - Is that your husband?
0:54:28 > 0:54:32- No, he's not!- Has he gone back to Italy?- Where's your jewellery?
0:54:32 > 0:54:37I'm wearing it, it's all here! On this finger! That's all I've got.
0:54:37 > 0:54:39How much have you really smuggled out?
0:54:39 > 0:54:41I haven't smuggled anything out!
0:54:41 > 0:54:45Questions were asked in Parliament. They say you smuggled £10,000!
0:54:45 > 0:54:46Why isn't your husband imprisoned?
0:54:46 > 0:54:49He's done nothing wrong! And neither have I.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52If I've done anything wrong I'll put it right when I'm finished.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55But I'm here on a tour, and I'm getting on with it.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58People need a smile putting back on their faces.
0:54:58 > 0:55:02I don't know if any of your lot have noticed but there's a war on.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05- Miss Fields?- One more question... - Miss Fields?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07I'll speak to them. I've nothing to hide.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Did you know your husband was a fascist?
0:55:09 > 0:55:12- He's no more of a fascist than me! - Are you a fascist?
0:55:12 > 0:55:15No! I mean more of a fascist than me or the King of...
0:55:15 > 0:55:18- The King Of England?- Old King Cole, I don't know!- Al Capone.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21No, I said "Old King Cole".
0:55:21 > 0:55:24He was a member of Al Capone's gang, were you aware of that?
0:55:24 > 0:55:27Al Capone! My husband was a Keystone Kop!
0:55:27 > 0:55:34SHOUTS CONTINUE
0:55:35 > 0:55:38I don't suppose you've ever been booed off before, have you?
0:55:38 > 0:55:41No I haven't, and I don't intend to start now.
0:55:41 > 0:55:46Think of the number of times you've stopped the applause with that "errand boy" whistle of yours.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Every blinking time.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52We've all told you. Archie, Bert, everyone.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54Let the applause ride.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55Because one day,
0:55:55 > 0:55:57you know...
0:55:57 > 0:55:59the applause might dry up of its own accord.
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Thanks, Harry. I knew I could rely on you.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05Ladies and Gentlemen, next up on tonight's bill,
0:56:05 > 0:56:07all the way from England...
0:56:07 > 0:56:09Britain, damn you.
0:56:09 > 0:56:11Gracie Fields!
0:56:18 > 0:56:22APPLAUSE
0:56:22 > 0:56:25Hello, everybody!
0:56:25 > 0:56:29Ee, what's the matter? Has someone died?
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Not yet!
0:56:31 > 0:56:34I was going to sing He's Dead But He Won't Lie Down,
0:56:34 > 0:56:37but I'd hate to cause offence.
0:56:37 > 0:56:38Can you sing Far Far Away?
0:56:38 > 0:56:42I'm sorry, love. I'm a bit deaf. What was that?
0:56:42 > 0:56:43There'll always be an England!
0:56:43 > 0:56:45There will always be an England.
0:56:45 > 0:56:48Let's hope so, love. That's why I'm here.
0:56:48 > 0:56:51Sing it! Sing There'll Always Be An England!
0:56:58 > 0:57:02# There'll always be an England
0:57:02 > 0:57:06# While there's a country lane
0:57:06 > 0:57:10# Wherever there's a cottage small... #
0:57:10 > 0:57:14- Get off!- # Beside a field of grain
0:57:14 > 0:57:18# There'll always be an England
0:57:18 > 0:57:23# While there's a busy street
0:57:23 > 0:57:27# Wherever there's a turning wheel
0:57:27 > 0:57:30# A million marching feet
0:57:30 > 0:57:33# Red, white and blue
0:57:33 > 0:57:35- # What does it mean to you? # - Fascist!
0:57:35 > 0:57:37# Surely you're proud Shout it aloud
0:57:37 > 0:57:39# Britons, awake!
0:57:39 > 0:57:41# The empire too
0:57:41 > 0:57:42# We can depend on you
0:57:42 > 0:57:47# Freedom remains, these are the chains, nothing can break
0:57:47 > 0:57:51# There'll always be an England
0:57:51 > 0:57:56# And England shall be free
0:57:56 > 0:58:01# If England means as much to you
0:58:01 > 0:58:06- # As England means to... # - Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
0:58:06 > 0:58:12- # Me. # - Traitor! Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Thank you. God bless.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19CHANTING CONTINUES
0:58:19 > 0:58:22OK! So you put this in your newspaper, are you listening?
0:58:22 > 0:58:28I am not a British Citizen, and it is my own money.
0:58:28 > 0:58:33My wife and I followed the usual procedure,
0:58:33 > 0:58:39by making regular application for permission to take our money with us.
0:58:39 > 0:58:45"It is just because I am Italian that they are trying to make things disagreeable for Miss Fields.
0:58:45 > 0:58:46"I wish they would cease.
0:58:46 > 0:58:49"She has been giving generously of her time and talents.
0:58:49 > 0:58:52"If they bother us any more I am going to telephone to her
0:58:52 > 0:58:55"to come home and live like a normal person."
0:58:58 > 0:59:00PHONE RINGS
0:59:09 > 0:59:11- Hello?- Why the hell have you stuck your oar in?
0:59:11 > 0:59:14- Gracie?- You've made it a hundred times worse!
0:59:14 > 0:59:17- Gracie. Calm down. - 'All you've done is stir it up!'
0:59:17 > 0:59:18They would've let it go!
0:59:18 > 0:59:22Believe it or not I won't stand by and see you humiliated by these idiots.
0:59:22 > 0:59:24It's my business! Don't interfere!
0:59:24 > 0:59:27I am your husband! I cannot ignore my wife being called a traitor!
0:59:27 > 0:59:29That is what they are calling you!
0:59:29 > 0:59:32Only because I married you!
0:59:32 > 0:59:37If that's how you feel maybe you should have thought twice about marrying a wop in the first place!
0:59:37 > 0:59:39- Why did you marry me? - My mother told me to!
0:59:39 > 0:59:43- Maybe you should do what I tell you! - Maybe I don't want anyone telling me what to do!
0:59:43 > 0:59:48No! You're right. Maybe you don't. You don't need me! You don't need anyone! You're on your own!
1:00:05 > 1:00:07And now, ladies and gentlemen,
1:00:07 > 1:00:12I have with me Miss Gracie Fields, all the way from England.
1:00:12 > 1:00:14Gracie, welcome to Iowa.
1:00:14 > 1:00:16Gracious, is that where we are?
1:00:16 > 1:00:18It most certainly is.
1:00:18 > 1:00:21You've been on tour for quite some time, how has it been?
1:00:21 > 1:00:26It's been fantastic, Joe, the people have been wonderful, and the audiences are terrific.
1:00:26 > 1:00:29I'm very pleased to hear that...
1:00:29 > 1:00:31You're probably better off here in Iowa,
1:00:31 > 1:00:35because I believe the newspapers in Britain are calling you a traitor.
1:00:35 > 1:00:39Actions speak louder than words I was always taught, Joe, which is why I'm here.
1:00:39 > 1:00:45To raise awareness in the good old U S of A, because we need your help. We're counting on it.
1:00:45 > 1:00:47What reception do you expect when you return?
1:00:47 > 1:00:51Well, I'm not going home yet, I've got plenty more work to do here.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54We've got concerts all over the place, here there and everywhere.
1:00:54 > 1:00:57You must be a little scared to go back to Britain?
1:00:57 > 1:00:58I don't think so.
1:00:58 > 1:01:01I miss all those wonderful people back at home,
1:01:01 > 1:01:06I miss their love and devotion, and I'll get back to them as soon as I can.
1:01:06 > 1:01:09Scared, why would I be scared?
1:01:09 > 1:01:14I was thinking of the bombing of your country, Miss Fields. I'd be scared. I'd be happier to be here.
1:01:16 > 1:01:19You're going to sing for us, am I right?
1:01:19 > 1:01:22That's right, Joe. I'm going to sing Looking On The Bright Side.
1:01:22 > 1:01:27Ladies and Gentleman, Miss Gracie Fields with Looking On The Bright Side.
1:01:27 > 1:01:29And we're off the air.
1:01:29 > 1:01:31Gracie, thank you very much.
1:01:31 > 1:01:33May I say, that is quite an accent you have.
1:01:33 > 1:01:36Thank you. And may I say, so do you.
1:01:36 > 1:01:41- I was expecting something a little more mid-Atlantic.- Mid-Atlantic.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43In the middle of the ocean.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46Drowning.
1:01:46 > 1:01:49# I'm looking on the bright side
1:01:49 > 1:01:52# Though I'm walking in the shade
1:01:52 > 1:01:54# Sticking out my chest
1:01:54 > 1:01:55# Hoping for the best
1:01:55 > 1:01:59# Looking on the bright side of life
1:01:59 > 1:02:02# I'm waiting for the right tide
1:02:02 > 1:02:05# And if luck comes to my aid
1:02:05 > 1:02:07# Giving me a break
1:02:07 > 1:02:08# I shall be awake
1:02:08 > 1:02:12# Looking on the bright side of life
1:02:12 > 1:02:15# Today I'm in the shadow
1:02:15 > 1:02:19# Tomorrow maybe... # Stop a minute will you, Guy?
1:02:19 > 1:02:25# The clouds will lift And let the sun shift over to me. #
1:02:25 > 1:02:27- Are you Gracie Fields? - Yes, love. I am.
1:02:29 > 1:02:35# I'm looking on the bright side Though today's all care and strife
1:02:35 > 1:02:38#I can wear a grin Sticking out my chin
1:02:38 > 1:02:41# Looking on the bright side of life. #
1:02:54 > 1:02:56PHONE RINGS
1:03:00 > 1:03:02Sir, telephone call for you.
1:03:02 > 1:03:06I don't want to speak to anyone. No-one at all.
1:03:08 > 1:03:10He's not?
1:03:10 > 1:03:13Thank you, bye-bye.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36Ma'am.
1:03:39 > 1:03:41Oh, I think I...
1:03:41 > 1:03:43Goodnight.
1:04:04 > 1:04:05Is that tea or coffee?
1:04:05 > 1:04:07I don't know.
1:04:08 > 1:04:11I think it's today's tea that smells of yesterday's coffee.
1:04:14 > 1:04:15Or maybe vice versa.
1:04:24 > 1:04:26I can't live like this much longer.
1:04:27 > 1:04:29No. Neither can I.
1:04:29 > 1:04:32A proper cup of coffee.
1:04:32 > 1:04:33My own bed.
1:04:35 > 1:04:37Or maybe even someone else's.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41Is there something you're trying to tell me, Harry?
1:04:42 > 1:04:45You're not courting at last, are you?
1:04:45 > 1:04:46No. I'm not.
1:04:46 > 1:04:50I'm still only writing songs about it.
1:04:50 > 1:04:54The thought of that made me unhappy this morning.
1:04:55 > 1:04:59I just...don't want to let life pass me by.
1:05:10 > 1:05:13What was that film called that you did?
1:05:13 > 1:05:15Which one?
1:05:15 > 1:05:17I don't know. That's what I'm asking you.
1:05:17 > 1:05:20What happened in it?
1:05:20 > 1:05:24I can't remember.
1:05:24 > 1:05:26I think you saved the day.
1:05:26 > 1:05:28I always saved the day.
1:05:30 > 1:05:33Maybe there was a dog in it.
1:05:33 > 1:05:34Keep Smiling.
1:05:34 > 1:05:36What happened in that one?
1:05:36 > 1:05:40I milked a cow. I got chased by dogs. I nearly drowned.
1:05:40 > 1:05:42I did a tour with tramps.
1:05:42 > 1:05:44Then I saved the day.
1:05:44 > 1:05:47No, no, no, no. It wasn't that one.
1:05:47 > 1:05:50HE STOPS PLAYING
1:05:50 > 1:05:52You did the Apache Dance.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55Queen Of Hearts.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57Queen Of Hearts.
1:05:57 > 1:06:00RESUMES PLAYING
1:06:00 > 1:06:06# Da da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da, da da... #
1:06:11 > 1:06:13That's the first film Monty directed me in.
1:06:13 > 1:06:18Silly beggar, he put a pile of newspapers under my seat on the first morning.
1:06:18 > 1:06:22Then he set fire to them. I should have known.
1:06:22 > 1:06:25Yes. Queen Of Hearts.
1:06:25 > 1:06:27I liked that one.
1:06:27 > 1:06:30You got the fella at the end for once, didn't you?
1:06:59 > 1:07:01You'll have me,
1:07:03 > 1:07:07I'll always cling to you,
1:07:07 > 1:07:11You'll have me,
1:07:12 > 1:07:18I'll always sing to you.
1:07:18 > 1:07:21Life gave us our awful blow.
1:07:21 > 1:07:26But my, dear we'll live to show the world what love can do.
1:07:50 > 1:07:51Gracie!
1:07:53 > 1:07:55Monty.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59She's going to be in my new picture.
1:07:59 > 1:08:02It's called Honeymoon Merry-Go-Round.
1:08:02 > 1:08:05It's about a pair of newlyweds
1:08:05 > 1:08:10who try to have a nice, romantic honeymoon but end up having a big fight instead.
1:08:10 > 1:08:11Oh, dear.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13Don't worry. It's a comedy.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15It doesn't sound so funny.
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Oh, it's funny.
1:08:17 > 1:08:19I wrote it myself.
1:08:19 > 1:08:22What happens in the end?
1:08:28 > 1:08:30I don't know yet.
1:08:32 > 1:08:33Did you get my card?
1:08:33 > 1:08:35I sent you a card.
1:08:39 > 1:08:40Our Gracie.
1:08:43 > 1:08:46I should have known you would never be my Gracie.
1:08:46 > 1:08:50I am your Gracie,
1:08:50 > 1:08:52really, I am.
1:08:52 > 1:08:56Think how many of these you have given away over the years. Thousands.
1:08:56 > 1:08:58That's the last one.
1:08:58 > 1:09:00I'm going to pack it all in.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02Why?
1:09:02 > 1:09:05For you.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08Impossible.
1:09:08 > 1:09:11I can do it now, I know I can.
1:09:11 > 1:09:15I could never have thrown it all in before,
1:09:15 > 1:09:16I was too frightened.
1:09:18 > 1:09:19Running for my life,
1:09:19 > 1:09:22couldn't stop.
1:09:22 > 1:09:24But I'm not frightened any more.
1:09:24 > 1:09:26Gracie...
1:09:26 > 1:09:28Because I've got you.
1:09:31 > 1:09:35I don't have to be Gracie Fields with you.
1:09:37 > 1:09:40I can just be me.
1:09:40 > 1:09:44Gracie. You said it yourself, this is what we do, this is who we are.
1:09:44 > 1:09:46You stop performing and you would die.
1:09:59 > 1:10:00There you go, Monty.
1:10:02 > 1:10:03Your Gracie.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08I love you, Monty.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12I want to be Mrs Bianchi.
1:10:16 > 1:10:17Please. Just once.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22It's Bianchi.
1:10:26 > 1:10:27Bianchi.
1:10:34 > 1:10:35Hello.
1:10:35 > 1:10:38Well, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be back,
1:10:38 > 1:10:40now I've finished my little war job.
1:10:40 > 1:10:45It started so long ago in France, then Canada,
1:10:45 > 1:10:48then I toured America for British War relief.
1:10:48 > 1:10:52Then it was Honolulu and the Fiji Islands through to Australia and New Zealand.
1:10:52 > 1:10:57Through Borneo and New Guinea, before we joined the Americans
1:10:57 > 1:11:00and we did all through the Philippines right up to Okinawa.
1:11:00 > 1:11:04I say I want to retire but nobody takes any notice of me.
1:11:04 > 1:11:07But I suppose as long as my...
1:11:07 > 1:11:08# ha ha ha #
1:11:08 > 1:11:12keeps working, I'll keep following it.
1:11:12 > 1:11:16Cheerio, everybody, and God bless all of you.
1:11:22 > 1:11:26Now the war is over how does it feel to be back here at the London Palladium?
1:11:26 > 1:11:27Grand, lad. It feels grand.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30But you live on the Isle of Capri now.
1:11:30 > 1:11:32That's right. With my husband.
1:11:32 > 1:11:35Husband, writer, faithful retainer.
1:11:35 > 1:11:3610 minutes.
1:11:36 > 1:11:37OK.
1:11:37 > 1:11:39I'll leave you to it now.
1:11:39 > 1:11:41- Thank you, Miss Fields.- Thank you.
1:11:43 > 1:11:46- Miss Fields.- Yes, love.
1:11:46 > 1:11:49Do you, by any chance, remember getting stuck in the mud
1:11:49 > 1:11:52in Northern France in November 1939,
1:11:52 > 1:11:56and a bunch of British soldiers helped push you out?
1:11:56 > 1:12:00Yes, I do. And a little lad asked me to sing Sally for him.
1:12:00 > 1:12:02That's right.
1:12:02 > 1:12:05I wonder what happened to him.
1:12:05 > 1:12:06Oh, don't you worry.
1:12:06 > 1:12:07He's fine.
1:12:07 > 1:12:09- Thank you.- Thank you.
1:12:29 > 1:12:32Will it be all right?
1:12:32 > 1:12:33You will be wonderful.
1:12:38 > 1:12:41You'll no doubt be pleased to know...
1:12:41 > 1:12:45the train has successfully left the station.
1:12:45 > 1:12:48Oh, that's a weight off my mind.
1:12:48 > 1:12:50Harry, what are you talking about?
1:12:50 > 1:12:53He means he has just succeeded in moving his bowels.
1:12:53 > 1:12:55Ladies and Gentlemen...
1:12:55 > 1:12:58Miss Gracie Fields.
