-Happy Birthday! Here's your card.

-Happy Birthday, Johnny!

0:00:540:00:58

-Made this meself!

-Thanks!

0:00:580:01:00

Here, what's this?

0:01:000:01:02

Come on!

0:01:030:01:05

It's from the...Ministry of Labour.

0:01:090:01:12

Telling me that...

0:01:120:01:15

Telling him to make himself available.

0:01:150:01:17

Available for what?

0:01:170:01:18

Military training.

0:01:180:01:20

"All men between the ages of 20 and 21."

0:01:200:01:23

You have to train over the summer.

0:01:230:01:25

It doesn't say when.

0:01:250:01:27

You're going to be a solider boy, Johnny.

0:01:270:01:28

That means I'll get my own uniform and everything!

0:01:280:01:31

I don't expect they'll send you off to fight in your combinations!

0:01:310:01:34

Signed by the Minister of Labour.

0:01:340:01:37

"PP" somebody.

0:01:370:01:38

Oi!

0:01:400:01:41

# Jolly good luck to the girl who loves a soldier... #

0:01:410:01:44

Lady Manning's chauffeur got his letter last Thursday.

0:01:440:01:46

Johnson. So maybe they're doing it alphabetical.

0:01:460:01:48

The curse of war, Mrs Thackeray. Everyone uprooted without their say.

0:01:480:01:53

# ..do our duty everywhere

0:01:530:01:57

# Jolly good luck to a girl who loves a soldier... #

0:01:570:02:00

Want me to help you with that?

0:02:050:02:06

I can manage.

0:02:060:02:09

What's the matter? Don't like me acting like a gentleman?

0:02:090:02:12

Oh, is that what you're doing? It must have passed me by.

0:02:120:02:15

Every time I try being friendly...

0:02:150:02:17

"Friends", is that what you're after, is it?

0:02:170:02:20

I was wondering, maybe tonight...

0:02:200:02:23

you would like to come to the pictures.

0:02:230:02:27

We're supposed to be going out for Johnny's birthday.

0:02:280:02:31

Anyway, I'm not looking to take up with a chauffeur.

0:02:310:02:34

Too grand, are you?

0:02:340:02:36

I just want more than what I've got.

0:02:370:02:39

We wouldn't suit each other.

0:02:390:02:41

200 more children arrive in Harwich next week

0:02:450:02:48

and the costs continue to rise.

0:02:480:02:51

I've organised another charity event.

0:02:510:02:53

A coffee morning for the dowagers of Belgravia.

0:02:530:02:55

Mrs Fuller will be delighted when I tell her.

0:02:550:02:58

-Good evening, Hallam.

-Evening.

0:02:580:02:59

I will be having tea with her and Lotta tomorrow...

0:02:590:03:03

Darling, I've received this.

0:03:060:03:08

The Pevensey Ball.

0:03:080:03:10

It's addressed to Persie, you and me.

0:03:100:03:12

I'm afraid Blanche is not included.

0:03:120:03:15

What do you think we should do? We must refuse them, surely?

0:03:150:03:19

Hallam? Are you listening?

0:03:190:03:21

Hitler has made a pact with Mussolini.

0:03:210:03:23

We're facing a whole new enemy and there's nothing I can do about it.

0:03:230:03:27

Dear Lord.

0:03:270:03:28

The war will spread down through the Mediterranean.

0:03:300:03:33

Greece and the Balkans will be utterly defenceless.

0:03:330:03:36

I'm afraid our social standing is not uppermost in my mind tonight.

0:03:360:03:39

No, no, of course not.

0:03:390:03:41

Talk to me, if it helps? Please.

0:03:410:03:43

I want to hear.

0:03:430:03:45

I must go and change.

0:03:450:03:47

I'm not really in the mood to discuss it.

0:03:470:03:50

Here we are, then. Ports for the ladies.

0:04:290:04:32

Lemonades for Johnny, Eunice and I.

0:04:330:04:36

Cheers.

0:04:360:04:37

Do you want a seat beside me?

0:04:370:04:39

Thank you, no. I am content to stand.

0:04:390:04:41

Oh, go on. We can all shuffle up.

0:04:410:04:44

Sit on the end.

0:04:440:04:45

Happy Birthday, Johnny.

0:04:480:04:50

-Happy Birthday.

-Happy Birthday.

-Happy Birthday.

0:04:500:04:53

Big adventure soon for you, young man.

0:04:530:04:55

All the boys will be leaving 165.

0:04:550:04:58

-He's not going anywhere.

-He's nice-looking.

0:04:580:05:01

So's a chocolate angel cake, I wouldn't take up with one, would I?

0:05:010:05:03

ANNOUNCER: Here we are, ladies and gentlemen,

0:05:030:05:06

the sporting event of the year in Kensington and Chelsea.

0:05:060:05:10

The Belgravia Servants' Boxing Championship.

0:05:100:05:13

This country needs good fighters.

0:05:130:05:16

You could walk out of Wilson's Gym a proper hero.

0:05:160:05:22

THEY CHEER

0:05:220:05:23

Our first contender! Lay it down here, son.

0:05:230:05:27

Edward Skinner, representing nine Cadogan Place!

0:05:270:05:32

THEY CHEER

0:05:320:05:34

Good lad.

0:05:340:05:35

Who's next, then?

0:05:350:05:36

What you smiling for? Thought you'd be too high and mighty for this lark.

0:05:390:05:42

I like a fellow with ambition, that's all.

0:05:420:05:45

-Spargo, you wanted to see me?

-Yes, sir.

0:06:140:06:17

I wanted to ask your permission...

0:06:170:06:20

the gym around the corner has this boxing league for servants.

0:06:200:06:22

I wondered if I might take my evening off on Thursday.

0:06:220:06:25

-You're thinking of entering the ring?

-Yes, sir.

0:06:250:06:28

I'm very busy at the Foreign Office. It's not exactly convenient.

0:06:280:06:32

Let me speak to Her Ladyship.

0:06:320:06:34

Thank you very much, sir.

0:06:340:06:36

The Egyptians performed stick fighting

0:06:430:06:46

as tribute to their Pharaoh.

0:06:460:06:48

To ward off his enemies.

0:06:500:06:53

I beg your pardon?

0:06:530:06:54

He'd be representing 165. You'd be the Pharaoh.

0:06:540:06:57

Doesn't that appeal to you?

0:06:570:07:00

-I told Spargo I'd discuss it with you.

-We should agree.

0:07:010:07:04

It won't make very much difference.

0:07:040:07:07

And, no doubt, if we refuse

0:07:070:07:09

we'll be pursued by some servants' welfare group.

0:07:090:07:13

Do the Girls' Friendly Society look after chauffeurs?

0:07:130:07:17

Perhaps we could dine together this week. Just the two of us.

0:07:200:07:24

I'll book Kettner's, shall I?

0:07:270:07:31

You have so much on your mind and I'd REALLY like to share it with you.

0:07:310:07:34

Oh, blast! I'm sorry, darling, I've overlooked some papers.

0:07:340:07:37

It'll keep until the morning, surely?

0:07:370:07:40

Go to sleep.

0:07:400:07:42

I'll wait up.

0:07:420:07:43

I'll be another hour yet.

0:07:430:07:45

Persie!

0:07:590:08:01

Good grief.

0:08:010:08:03

I just came to find my book.

0:08:030:08:05

Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you.

0:08:050:08:08

May I...?

0:08:080:08:10

How are you? I haven't seen you in days.

0:08:150:08:18

-I'm perfectly fine.

-Are you sure?

0:08:180:08:23

I broke a nail on that blasted bath tap.

0:08:230:08:25

-Other than that I've nothing much to complain about.

-I want...

0:08:250:08:29

We all want you to spend more time with us.

0:08:300:08:32

You want to be my saviour?

0:08:320:08:35

The world's going to hell but as long as you can save poor Persie.

0:08:350:08:38

Don't tease me.

0:08:380:08:39

Your coffee, sir.

0:08:410:08:43

Pritchard, go to bed.

0:08:470:08:49

Thank you, sir.

0:08:490:08:51

I'll wait up, sir

0:08:510:08:52

'Keep your guard up!

0:09:020:09:04

'Don't let your left hand drop you stupid apeth!

0:09:040:09:06

'He'll spread your nose right across your face.

0:09:060:09:09

'Come on, move!

0:09:090:09:10

'Combinations, one-two, one-two, that's it.

0:09:100:09:12

'Keep the hands up! Move! Move it there...'

0:09:120:09:15

-'22.

-Club champion. Bermondsey.

0:09:150:09:18

Under 16s.

0:09:180:09:20

That would make you...what now?

0:09:200:09:22

31.

0:09:220:09:23

Take a look at these lads.

0:09:270:09:29

You're old enough to be a father to most of them.

0:09:290:09:31

-I've kept myself in shape.

-I dare say.

0:09:310:09:35

You'll be going up against men who've twice your energy and speed.

0:09:350:09:38

The poster said, "Open to everyone."

0:09:400:09:43

Then I'm for 165 Eaton Place.

0:09:430:09:45

So good of you to raise money for the Kinder Transport.

0:09:470:09:52

How nice to see so many faces.

0:09:520:09:54

Darling Agnes, I love you for even trying.

0:09:540:09:58

But there's half the number here that we expected.

0:09:580:10:00

And those that have come

0:10:000:10:02

are only here to gossip at my expense.

0:10:020:10:06

Now, who is that?

0:10:060:10:08

That American. Landry. He does a lot charitable work.

0:10:080:10:13

-Don't stare. He'll think we're talking about him.

-Well, we are.

0:10:130:10:17

-And don't turn away quite so obviously.

-Agnes, what's the matter?

0:10:170:10:20

If I didn't know you better I'd say you were sweet on him.

0:10:200:10:24

Oh, stop it! Come along, I'll introduce you -

0:10:240:10:28

Very generous.

0:10:280:10:31

Mr... Landry?

0:10:320:10:35

Would you like me to try darning them, my lady?

0:10:350:10:38

I rather think they're beyond that.

0:10:380:10:41

DOOR KNOCKS SOFTLY

0:10:410:10:43

Lady Agnes?

0:10:430:10:44

Mr Landry?

0:10:440:10:46

Sorry. I'm not accustomed to knocking on ladies' bedrooms.

0:10:460:10:49

I just wanted to leave you a little offering. They're on the door knob.

0:10:490:10:52

Mr Landry.

0:11:150:11:16

-Lady Agnes.

-Please tell me, do you usually go to parties

0:11:160:11:21

-with a pair of Nylon stockings in your pocket?

-A sample.

0:11:210:11:25

-I'm sorry?

-My latest venture.

0:11:250:11:27

I thought you were in pharmaceuticals. Is it hosiery now?

0:11:270:11:30

Science in the service of beauty. You're modelling

0:11:300:11:33

-the latest Landry brand.

-Most comfortable,

0:11:330:11:36

but I do think it would be better if you didn't

0:11:360:11:38

-scrutinise them quite so hard.

-Yes, of course.

0:11:380:11:42

-165, is it sir?

-Yes.

0:11:470:11:49

No. Wait. I'll go through the park.

0:11:490:11:54

It's a fine day. I'd rather walk.

0:11:540:11:56

It pleases me to see Lotte so well and happy.

0:11:570:12:01

She's becoming a fine young lady.

0:12:010:12:03

And fine young ladies need very fine scones and strawberry jam.

0:12:030:12:08

-We wish to order.

-There's a table

0:12:240:12:26

in the back parlour. I'd be obliged if you move.

0:12:260:12:29

That table suits us perfectly.

0:12:290:12:31

I'm afraid that table has been reserved for someone else.

0:12:310:12:34

If it's reserved there ought to have been a sign.

0:12:340:12:38

You do not want us to sit together in plain view.

0:12:380:12:42

I've told you already -

0:12:420:12:44

the back parlour is fine.

0:12:440:12:45

I think it would be better if we went elsewhere.

0:12:450:12:48

The menu here is not to my liking.

0:12:480:12:51

Did I see you in the park, today?

0:12:590:13:01

Yes.

0:13:020:13:03

I thought it was you.

0:13:030:13:05

Bit odd, you didn't stop to say "Hello."

0:13:050:13:08

Poor, Hallam. You never know what to say to me when we're alone.

0:13:170:13:21

I was just walking home from the Foreign Office.

0:13:210:13:25

-I happened to be passing the stables and...

-It's all right.

0:13:250:13:28

I liked it that you came.

0:13:280:13:30

Right. Big smile now...

0:13:340:13:36

I'm so sorry our excursion has been cut short. Next time...

0:13:420:13:45

I do not think there can be a next time. I have duties.

0:13:450:13:50

-But you'll come and visit Lotte?

-I embarrassed you today.

0:13:500:13:53

No, no, no. You're quite wrong. I saw that you

0:13:530:13:56

were uncomfortable and wanted to spare you.

0:13:560:13:59

I'm most proud for us to be seen together.

0:13:590:14:01

What you have done for us all...

0:14:010:14:03

You have been an inspiration.

0:14:030:14:06

I do not wish to cause you further pain.

0:14:060:14:08

We have worked hard to rescue these poor children from prejudice.

0:14:080:14:14

You should draw some strength from their plight. Lotte!

0:14:140:14:17

Goodbye, Mrs Fuller.

0:14:190:14:20

-Joining me?

-I thought somebody ought to come and cheer you.

0:14:540:14:57

Glad someone's even noticed.

0:14:570:15:00

Oi, get him a chair, will you?

0:15:090:15:10

He's going to need a sit down between rounds.

0:15:100:15:14

Cocky little so-and-so, ain't you?

0:15:140:15:16

BELL RINGS

0:15:160:15:19

Come on! Hit him!

0:15:220:15:23

Doctor Mottershead...

0:15:250:15:27

I didn't want to miss out on this deliciously barbaric spectacle!

0:15:270:15:30

-Come on, grandad. Give it your best shot.

-Harry, show him your stuff.

0:15:300:15:34

Hands up, one, two. Just jab him, jab him.

0:15:340:15:37

Go on, Harry, hit him. Go on!

0:15:370:15:40

Bravo. Keep your guard up, man!

0:15:440:15:47

You're going to have to be quicker.

0:15:470:15:51

CHEERING

0:15:510:15:53

-Right, that's enough.

-No!

0:15:530:15:55

Harry, get up.

0:15:580:16:00

-That's it. You're done.

-REFEREE: All over.

0:16:000:16:04

You all right? You all right?

0:16:040:16:06

Spargo!

0:16:100:16:13

You have power in those fists,

0:16:130:16:15

but you need more pace. He could read you.

0:16:150:16:18

Doctor Mottershead! Didn't know you fancied boxing?

0:16:180:16:20

Ancient art.

0:16:200:16:23

Although people of the Nile took a two-foot bronze sword into the ring.

0:16:230:16:26

Might be worth considering(!)

0:16:260:16:29

All right lads, we're done for tonight. Let's be having you all.

0:16:310:16:35

You should stick to driving a car, mate.

0:16:350:16:37

Out!

0:16:400:16:41

JOHNNY: The cheek of him. He had it coming, him.

0:16:430:16:47

Ah!

0:16:490:16:50

What's up with him? He's walking funny, ain't he?

0:16:520:16:54

You shut your noise and get on. Piles are no laughing matter.

0:16:540:16:57

And here's another one who's been in the wars.

0:16:570:17:00

Fighting, at your age.

0:17:000:17:01

I'm not a complete no-hoper, you know.

0:17:230:17:26

I used to be a Junior Boxing Champion.

0:17:260:17:29

Why d'you give it up?

0:17:290:17:31

My Dad came back sick from the war.

0:17:330:17:35

Couldn't work because of his lungs so I had to get a job

0:17:350:17:38

as a grocer's boy just to keep my family.

0:17:380:17:40

So, no time for boxing.

0:17:400:17:42

What's this?

0:17:500:17:52

It's a powder compact.

0:17:520:17:54

You can't go driving them around with your face in that state.

0:17:540:17:58

I wanted to ask about the lad.

0:18:110:18:13

He thinks you've got talent. Wants you to go into the ring.

0:18:140:18:18

You fought before?

0:18:180:18:19

In Borstal I did, yeah. It's what you do to get on.

0:18:190:18:22

I'd help you. Train you, if you want.

0:18:220:18:26

I don't know.

0:18:260:18:28

We'd be a great team.

0:18:280:18:30

Split the money between us, half each. What do you think?

0:18:300:18:33

It'll be for King and country soon. Why not make a start?

0:18:360:18:39

MACHINERY WHIRRS

0:19:060:19:10

GENERAL CHATTER

0:19:170:19:20

New order from Bentall's.

0:19:230:19:25

Then at two I've a model coming to take pictures for the advertising.

0:19:250:19:29

Mr Landry...

0:19:340:19:36

Lady Agnes Holland.

0:19:360:19:40

Not a social call.

0:19:400:19:41

Quite the most durable stockings I've ever owned.

0:19:410:19:44

I'll take half a dozen.

0:19:440:19:47

The role of women is about to change.

0:19:470:19:49

They need clothes that will free them. Nylons are in the vanguard.

0:19:490:19:52

You're fighting a cause, then?

0:19:520:19:54

Me? No, I'm a businessman. I'm just riding the wave.

0:19:540:19:58

But I like to think I listen to women's needs.

0:19:580:20:00

And what are those?

0:20:000:20:02

To be more than a companion...

0:20:020:20:04

To make your own way.

0:20:050:20:07

This is a fascinating place.

0:20:090:20:11

Jews... Russians.

0:20:110:20:13

Lenin held political meetings in Hoxton church, around the corner.

0:20:130:20:16

-The East End is a haven.

-And you provide them work?

0:20:160:20:19

I don't pretend to be a philanthropist, Lady Agnes.

0:20:190:20:22

-Mr Landry?

-But I love it here.

-Sir.

0:20:220:20:25

Salt beef. Give it a try.

0:20:270:20:29

Well, you've certainly shown me some new experiences.

0:20:290:20:33

My first Landry Nylons... Divine.

0:20:330:20:35

And my first salt beef sandwich.

0:20:350:20:37

Looks utterly delicious. May I have a knife?

0:20:370:20:40

Fingers.

0:20:410:20:42

THEY LAUGH

0:20:420:20:44

Mr Landry? There is problem with the photographs.

0:20:440:20:48

Excuse me. What's the matter?

0:20:480:20:50

The model did not turn up here.

0:20:500:20:52

-Did you telephone the agency?

-They couldn't reach her.

0:20:520:20:55

Photographer is waiting, and a whole crew for make-up.

0:20:550:20:58

HE SIGHS

0:20:580:20:59

How would you feel about lending me your face?

0:21:020:21:04

I'm sorry? What for?

0:21:040:21:06

To put in 200 hosiery stores.

0:21:060:21:08

Is that quite proper?

0:21:090:21:10

No such word in my vocabulary.

0:21:100:21:13

Don't mind, do you? Rearranging your veg.

0:21:180:21:21

Don't mix up my packets and my perishables.

0:21:210:21:23

What's going on?

0:21:250:21:27

We're making a punch bag.

0:21:270:21:28

Boxing training.

0:21:280:21:30

Oh, you idiot.

0:21:300:21:32

-Not me, Johnny.

-What?

0:21:320:21:34

I'm going to train him. We've got big ambitions.

0:21:340:21:37

You look divine.

0:22:070:22:09

The question is, do I make you want to buy stockings?

0:22:090:22:13

Hello. How was your day?

0:22:160:22:19

We've made progress, I think.

0:22:190:22:22

The Admiralty are finally waking up to the threat from Mussolini.

0:22:220:22:26

Italy in the war could mean a whole new front.

0:22:260:22:29

Stanhope is coming to dinner.

0:22:290:22:31

It's essential that we get our message home to him.

0:22:310:22:35

I'm sorry, this must be very boring.

0:22:380:22:41

No, I like listening.

0:22:410:22:43

When you talk like that, it makes me feel safe.

0:22:460:22:49

Good evening, Aunt.

0:22:510:22:54

I must make a telephone call, excuse me.

0:22:540:22:57

Hallam really is a rock.

0:23:020:23:03

No doubt he's gratified he has someone to support him.

0:23:030:23:08

Agnes?

0:23:090:23:10

Of course.

0:23:100:23:12

Lean forward, just a little.

0:23:230:23:25

APPLAUSE

0:23:320:23:34

I've a table booked at Kettner's.

0:23:370:23:40

Shame to let the image go to waste.

0:23:400:23:42

PIPE AND DRUM MUSIC

0:23:480:23:51

It's too crowded in there, let's get some air.

0:24:000:24:03

I've never seen Kettner's so busy.

0:24:040:24:07

See how everyone stares?

0:24:080:24:10

-At me or the nylons?

-Oh, the nylons, definitely.

0:24:100:24:12

AGNES LAUGHS

0:24:120:24:13

Our Rumba, What a shame we missed it.

0:24:160:24:19

Oh, I think there's enough light...

0:24:200:24:22

Don't you?

0:24:220:24:23

# Jolly good luck to the girl who loves a soldier

0:25:090:25:13

# Girls, have you been there?

0:25:130:25:16

# You know we military men

0:25:160:25:21

# Always do our duty everywhere

0:25:210:25:25

# Jolly good luck to the girl who loves a soldier... #

0:25:250:25:29

MARCHING SOUND

0:25:290:25:30

-Thank you, Pritchard.

-Very good, my lady.

0:25:360:25:39

Hallam?

0:25:430:25:45

Hallam, I must tell you about my day.

0:25:460:25:48

Something truly extraordinary happened.

0:25:480:25:51

Darling, I've organised a dinner for the Admiralty.

0:25:510:25:54

Will you speak to Mrs Thackeray about the menu?

0:25:540:25:58

Come on! You've got to work harder.

0:26:140:26:16

Show them lot at Cadogan Place what you're made of.

0:26:160:26:20

And, again.

0:26:230:26:25

That's it.

0:26:250:26:26

At it...

0:26:260:26:28

Come here, come on.

0:26:280:26:30

Turn...

0:26:310:26:33

Good... In... Full.

0:26:330:26:35

Good, and again.

0:26:350:26:37

Nicely.

0:26:370:26:39

That's it.

0:26:390:26:41

Balls of your feet. Balls of your feet. Now, flurry, go!

0:26:410:26:44

-Can we talk through some strategy before tonight?

-You're a keen one.

0:26:450:26:49

I just want to do well.

0:26:490:26:51

Are you worried about the fight?

0:26:510:26:53

You'll do great.

0:26:530:26:55

Your technique's getting better.

0:26:550:26:57

Any day they're going to knock on my door

0:26:570:27:00

and take me off to be a soldier.

0:27:000:27:03

-I thought you were looking forward to all that.

-I am.

0:27:030:27:06

I was...

0:27:080:27:10

It's just...

0:27:100:27:12

I won't be fighting for £5.

0:27:140:27:17

I'll be fighting for my life.

0:27:190:27:21

You're scared.

0:27:300:27:32

Yeah.

0:27:340:27:36

Blimey.

0:27:370:27:39

We'll talk it through before supper

0:27:420:27:44

and make sure you're ready for anything. All right?

0:27:440:27:48

You look lovely.

0:28:000:28:02

You always look lovely.

0:28:040:28:06

Do you remember your blue crepe gown?

0:28:110:28:14

The first proper evening dress you owned.

0:28:140:28:16

-You were 16.

-Gosh, whatever made you think of that?

0:28:160:28:20

And after you grew out of it you gave it to me.

0:28:200:28:22

-But it never looked quite as stunning.

-Don't be silly.

0:28:240:28:27

Always perfect.

0:28:310:28:32

My perfect sister.

0:28:320:28:34

Come on darling, get ready.

0:28:340:28:36

Georgie Kent is coming for luncheon. Do join us, won't you?

0:28:360:28:39

Modelling nylons. Good Lord!

0:28:440:28:48

It was a perfectly respectable affair.

0:28:480:28:50

Does Hallam know?

0:28:500:28:52

I haven't quite found the moment to tell him.

0:28:520:28:55

But it's unlikely he's going to pop into a hosiery department.

0:28:550:28:59

Agnes, I'm the last person to throw stones,

0:28:590:29:01

but do you really think deceiving him is wise?

0:29:010:29:04

He might not like the idea.

0:29:040:29:05

Might(?) He'll hate it, no question.

0:29:050:29:09

Oh, dear, this is agony.

0:29:140:29:16

We must get you to your room.

0:29:160:29:17

-But the luncheon...

-I will assume the role of butler.

0:29:170:29:20

I'm bound to observe my filial duties.

0:29:240:29:27

I willingly invited her to live in my home.

0:29:270:29:29

I had no idea that she and Agnes would become such firm friends.

0:29:290:29:32

I'll be the spanner, shall I?

0:29:320:29:36

Prise them apart.

0:29:360:29:37

-Dr Mottershead, may I intrude?

-Yes, of course.

0:29:400:29:44

Your Royal Highness, what a pleasure that you should join us.

0:29:460:29:48

Hallam tells me you've become a boxing enthusiast.

0:29:480:29:51

Give me a man stripped to the waist in prime condition

0:29:510:29:54

and I can think of no better use for him

0:29:540:29:56

than to see him knocked around a ring.

0:29:560:29:58

Mmm... As it happens, I too am an amateur enthusiast.

0:29:580:30:03

A moment's rest, and then I must get back.

0:30:030:30:08

It's all in hand, Mr Pritchard.

0:30:080:30:10

No need to be embarrassed. Napoleon had the same.

0:30:100:30:13

Couldn't mount his horse at Waterloo.

0:30:130:30:16

How very flattering to mention me in the same breath.

0:30:160:30:20

Yes, nice.

0:30:220:30:24

Go on, sharp. That's it. Sharp!

0:30:240:30:26

Yes, that's it.

0:30:260:30:28

Your Royal Highness, what an honour.

0:30:280:30:30

Please, don't trouble yourself. We'll just sit here.

0:30:300:30:34

Move!

0:30:340:30:35

Sometimes it's a welcome relief to go out without causing a stir.

0:30:390:30:44

I know just what you mean.

0:30:440:30:46

BELL RINGS

0:30:460:30:47

Box!

0:30:470:30:48

One... Two...

0:31:000:31:03

Three!

0:31:030:31:05

-Well?

-Indeed.

0:31:050:31:08

Five...

0:31:080:31:09

Six...

0:31:090:31:10

Seven...

0:31:100:31:11

Here he is! Champion welterweight of the Servants' Boxing League.

0:31:140:31:18

-You won it!

-Better than that. He wiped the floor with him!

0:31:180:31:21

First round. 15 seconds. Adolf doesn't know what he's up against.

0:31:210:31:24

We showed that lot from Cadogan Place again!

0:31:240:31:26

-Oh. I wish I'd been there, Johnny.

-So do I!

0:31:260:31:29

Their cook's a pinched little woman.

0:31:290:31:31

Always going on about her counter space.

0:31:310:31:33

You said you liked a man with ambition. How's this?

0:31:360:31:39

-Training the champ.

-All right.

0:31:390:31:41

-All right, what?

-All right, The Lady Vanishes.

0:31:410:31:43

All right, two tickets in the stalls.

0:31:430:31:45

And, all right, some butterscotch.

0:31:450:31:49

It was agreed that tonight I would have a little sommelier rehearsal.

0:31:550:32:00

The Admiralty dinner is in two days.

0:32:000:32:03

Time enough, I hope, to turn me into a worthy understudy.

0:32:030:32:06

Mr Amanjit, this really is most kind.

0:32:060:32:09

To tell you the truth, I am glad of this opportunity.

0:32:090:32:13

I understand.

0:32:130:32:14

There's nothing worse than being made to feel you have no value.

0:32:140:32:17

Mmm...

0:32:170:32:20

So, then, between us we will make a very fine butler.

0:32:200:32:24

Your expertise combined with my labour.

0:32:250:32:28

This could be the start of a whole new campaign,

0:32:330:32:35

aristocracy endorsing our products.

0:32:350:32:38

I'm glad to have been of some little service.

0:32:380:32:40

No, you don't understand, I want you again.

0:32:400:32:43

Lady Agnes Holland the face of Landry.

0:32:430:32:46

There's a second shoot on the coast, tomorrow noon.

0:32:460:32:49

I'm not sure my husband would be thrilled.

0:32:500:32:52

Haven't you discussed it?

0:32:520:32:54

It might be as well to, we've extended the campaign.

0:32:540:32:58

CAR HORN TOOTS

0:33:070:33:09

Didn't you think for a second how it might affect me

0:33:210:33:24

-Your face in a billboard campaign?

-Hallam, please.

0:33:240:33:26

This is a time of national crisis I have crucial issues to attend to.

0:33:260:33:30

The whole diplomatic service will be gossiping about my wife

0:33:300:33:33

and this idiotic spectacle!

0:33:330:33:35

Plenty of people are allowing

0:33:350:33:37

their faces to be used for advertising

0:33:370:33:39

and I'd donate the money to Blanche's fund-raising.

0:33:390:33:41

I suppose this was all his idea, The Hangover King.

0:33:410:33:45

You've only known him five minutes, yet here you are cavorting,

0:33:450:33:48

-selling yourself on his behalf.

-I've found something I enjoy!

0:33:480:33:51

Couldn't you be pleased for me!

0:33:510:33:52

-Did you know about this?

-Yes. I did

-And you never thought to tell me?

0:34:010:34:05

Hallam, it's not my place to interfere in your life.

0:34:050:34:07

It hadn't seemed to bother you until this moment.

0:34:070:34:10

Can you bear it, just for a moment,

0:34:120:34:14

to listen to a little bit of my advice?

0:34:140:34:17

I know what it's like to lose a love.

0:34:170:34:20

What you and Agnes have is precious.

0:34:200:34:22

She is drifting away from you

0:34:220:34:24

and you have to do something to get her back.

0:34:240:34:28

The photographer's ready for you.

0:34:590:35:01

I can see why he's not exactly thrilled.

0:35:050:35:07

You have a lot of new admirers, that's all.

0:35:070:35:10

A husband should be proud.

0:35:100:35:12

Englishmen tend not to see it that way.

0:35:120:35:15

You are a puzzle, Mr Landry.

0:35:180:35:20

Really?

0:35:200:35:22

More at ease at a place like this than in a luxury hotel.

0:35:220:35:26

My father arrived at Ellis Island penniless.

0:35:260:35:29

And yet here you are, making nylons for duchesses.

0:35:290:35:31

Quite some journey.

0:35:320:35:34

Any man can achieve what he wants.

0:35:360:35:38

What do you want from life?

0:35:410:35:42

I'm not sure.

0:35:450:35:47

I thought I knew.

0:35:470:35:49

I miss the sea.

0:35:540:35:56

Makes me feel like a girl again.

0:35:560:35:59

The fog's rolling in.

0:36:010:36:03

You can smell it in the air, can't you?

0:36:030:36:07

What about swimming, I can buy us some bathing suits.

0:36:070:36:10

Well, gentlemen. You have caused quite a stir.

0:36:240:36:28

Mr Cardew at Cadogan Place has been in a sulk for days.

0:36:280:36:32

Congratulations.

0:36:320:36:34

You're a formidable pair.

0:36:350:36:37

And now you have a chance for further glory if you wish.

0:36:370:36:42

Salmon again?

0:36:420:36:44

Lady Agnes' orders. The Navy are all bound to eat fish.

0:36:440:36:48

-What?

-He's had an invitation, an invitation to box again.

0:36:480:36:51

-Where from?

-From His Royal Highness, the Duke of Kent.

0:36:510:36:54

He sponsors the British Amateur Championships.

0:36:540:36:57

At Alexandra Palace!

0:36:570:36:58

Oh!

0:36:580:37:01

Aren't men unbearable?

0:37:010:37:03

Look, you and me we might have to wait a while.

0:37:080:37:11

-I thought you wanted to take me out tonight.

-Can't we postpone it?

0:37:110:37:14

This lad needs a lot of work.

0:37:140:37:16

He's worried about becoming a soldier.

0:37:160:37:18

I promised I would support him when I can.

0:37:180:37:20

-They say the same.

-What?

0:37:270:37:30

Your watch.. The carriage clock. They say the same.

0:37:300:37:33

-There's no point in looking at them both.

-She's forgotten.

0:37:330:37:36

Mr Amanjit, there will be one less place at the table tonight.

0:37:360:37:39

The hostess, alas, will not be present.

0:37:390:37:42

Give me half an hour.

0:37:420:37:44

I'm sorry?

0:37:440:37:45

Those old bores from the Admiralty,

0:37:450:37:48

they won't know one woman in a silk gown from another.

0:37:480:37:50

PHONE RINGS

0:37:530:37:55

The Holland residence?

0:37:550:37:57

Excuse me a moment.

0:37:570:37:59

-Who is it?

-It's Lady Agnes. Calling from the coast.

0:38:020:38:07

I'll take it.

0:38:070:38:08

Persie, I may be a little late, the roads are fogged in.

0:38:100:38:13

Can you ask Hallam if he can delay?

0:38:130:38:16

Hopefully I won't be too long.

0:38:160:38:18

-The plans have changed.

-What do you mean?

0:38:180:38:21

Hallam says you don't need to be here.

0:38:210:38:24

There's still no word from Agnes?

0:38:290:38:31

I thought my role in life was to be a hostess.

0:38:370:38:40

Now it seems I no longer fulfil that function.

0:38:400:38:43

Don't be downhearted,

0:38:430:38:46

let's make a night of it.

0:38:460:38:48

The coastguard says the fog is getting worse.

0:38:480:38:50

We can stay here at the hotel, see if they have rooms.

0:38:500:38:54

If that's 'proper'.

0:38:540:38:56

There's no such word in my book.

0:38:580:39:01

Ciano's an aristocrat, not a Fascist.

0:39:010:39:04

He thinks political power means getting a good restaurant table.

0:39:040:39:07

The Pact Of Steel is real though, surely?

0:39:070:39:10

Between them these countries will drive a stake

0:39:100:39:12

through the heart of Europe.

0:39:120:39:13

I'm afraid I don't share your concerns.

0:39:130:39:16

Italy is not a serious military presence.

0:39:160:39:18

5,000 miles of coastline.

0:39:180:39:20

-Hitler will use her as a gateway to the Balkans.

-Even so...

0:39:200:39:24

The pact will make the war spread southwards.

0:39:240:39:27

-Libya. Egypt.

-But those countries are not our concern.

0:39:280:39:32

We can't be expected to plan our defences

0:39:320:39:34

based on what will happen halfway around the world.

0:39:340:39:36

Let's confine ourselves to European problems.

0:39:360:39:39

Mr Amanjit, what is your opinion?

0:39:410:39:43

How will the colonies and India fare?

0:39:430:39:45

I'm not about to plan British Foreign Policy

0:39:450:39:47

around what a servant thinks.

0:39:470:39:50

What Stanhope said was foolish.

0:39:540:39:57

The war could spill into every continent.

0:39:570:40:00

It is not easy to bite your tongue when you witness stupidity.

0:40:000:40:04

A butler hears nothing.

0:40:040:40:05

I don't understand. How do you allow yourself

0:40:050:40:08

to be robbed of your opinions?

0:40:080:40:11

I am a servant, but before that, I am a man.

0:40:110:40:13

Then you have no place downstairs.

0:40:130:40:16

# Love, who's your lady friend?

0:40:180:40:21

# Who's the little girlie by your side?

0:40:210:40:24

# I've seen you With a girl or two

0:40:240:40:28

# Oh, oh, oh, I am surprised at you

0:40:280:40:31

# Hello, hello Stop your little game

0:40:310:40:35

# Don't you think your ways you ought to mend

0:40:350:40:39

# That wasn't the girl I saw you with at Brighton #

0:40:390:40:43

-What are you doing?

-I'm taking you home.

-But I thought that...

0:40:430:40:47

Agnes, please forgive me. It was my mistake.

0:40:470:40:49

A woman's reputation is sacred, certainly not for me to dally with.

0:40:490:40:53

You think Hallam's right,

0:40:530:40:54

our acquaintance has all been a terrible mistake?

0:40:540:40:57

I hold you in too much regard to see you throw your reputation away.

0:40:590:41:02

Mr Amanjit, I'm truly sorry for the way you were treated tonight.

0:41:120:41:17

You owe me no apology, Dr Mottershead.

0:41:170:41:20

We're both outsiders, you and I.

0:41:200:41:21

I suppose there is some comfort, in knowing we are not alone.

0:41:230:41:28

Just look what two misfits can achieve together.

0:41:300:41:34

Mr Amanjit...

0:41:360:41:38

..you dropped something.

0:41:380:41:40

You missed the dinner.

0:41:590:42:01

I thought you didn't mind.

0:42:040:42:06

You weren't concerned for my welfare.

0:42:060:42:09

Just concerned there was a gap at your table tonight.

0:42:090:42:12

You're infatuated with him.

0:42:120:42:14

Don't be absurd. He's a friend.

0:42:160:42:18

Friend or not, I forbid you to see him again.

0:42:180:42:22

What could you possibly gain from this...

0:42:220:42:25

..alliance?

0:42:250:42:27

He's the sort of man who wouldn't forbid me anything.

0:42:270:42:31

He's a tradesman. Agnes wouldn't seriously...

0:42:500:42:55

I don't believe anything has actually happened between them.

0:42:550:42:59

It's just infatuation, I suppose. I'm never there

0:42:590:43:03

and he seems to lead her on one long adventure.

0:43:030:43:05

Is it simply an adventure?

0:43:050:43:07

What do you mean?

0:43:090:43:11

Dear chap, it's my duty to say the things

0:43:110:43:14

you don't really want to hear.

0:43:140:43:15

Yours has been the perfect marriage. It pains me to see cracks appearing.

0:43:150:43:19

You must reach out to her,

0:43:190:43:22

she's drifting away from you.

0:43:220:43:24

You're the second person to tell me that in as many days.

0:43:240:43:27

Then it's time you started to believe it.

0:43:270:43:29

Go and kiss your children, goodnight

0:43:290:43:31

and ask yourself if your life isn't very rich with Agnes.

0:43:310:43:35

I'll see you for the boxing, tonight.

0:43:440:43:48

We need to hurry if we're going to catch the bus.

0:44:470:44:49

Hold on one moment. I'm coming too.

0:44:490:44:52

I'm not missing this.

0:44:520:44:53

Mr Amanjit, shall we perhaps sit together? Enjoy an evening, as men.

0:44:530:44:57

Now listen...

0:45:030:45:05

Ready?

0:45:090:45:11

Good luck tonight.

0:45:160:45:18

I didn't start with this for Johnny, you know.

0:45:200:45:22

No...

0:45:250:45:27

I know.

0:45:270:45:28

Can you believe it?

0:45:470:45:49

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

0:46:080:46:10

Mm...

0:46:100:46:12

Tonight, I'm the Pharaoh.

0:46:120:46:15

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:46:180:46:20

John, I have come to wish you luck.

0:46:200:46:23

That's very kind of you, Your Royal Highness.

0:46:230:46:26

-You're Holland's chap?

-Yes, sir.

0:46:310:46:33

Delighted to have you here. We're all very excited.

0:46:330:46:37

Oh, do excuse us.

0:46:390:46:41

Proude?

0:46:460:46:48

Yes, sir.

0:46:500:46:52

There's quite a crowd out there, to cheer you on.

0:46:520:46:56

All my house have come, sir.

0:46:570:46:59

Eunice, Beryl and Mr Pritchard

0:46:590:47:02

and, well, everyone.

0:47:020:47:05

You're quite the star.

0:47:050:47:08

With the Lords and Ladies too, I'll bet.

0:47:080:47:10

Don't let them down.

0:47:120:47:14

I'll do my best to entertain them.

0:47:140:47:17

Will you?

0:47:180:47:20

Entertain?

0:47:230:47:25

Yes, of course, sir.

0:47:270:47:29

Some of the lads are quite obliging.

0:47:290:47:31

Glad to know you are too.

0:47:310:47:33

Johnny Proude.

0:47:340:47:36

Let's see you entertain, then.

0:47:370:47:39

You show me what you can do.

0:47:420:47:44

-What are you doing?

-You want to play a game?

0:47:460:47:49

Come on then, Johnny Proude. You be the innocent boy.

0:47:490:47:53

-What's going on?

-You know what's going on?

0:48:050:48:07

Apparently I'm here to put on a show.

0:48:070:48:09

Johnny, what's this about?

0:48:090:48:11

Your fight's on any moment.

0:48:110:48:13

Johnny!

0:48:130:48:14

DOOR SLAMS

0:48:140:48:15

What's he doing here?

0:48:270:48:28

Sir Hallam, Lady Agnes. What a pleasure to see you.

0:48:290:48:33

Leave us alone, Landry.

0:48:330:48:35

You've done enough damage to my family's reputation already.

0:48:350:48:38

Hallam, please.

0:48:380:48:39

You've been selling my wife.

0:48:390:48:41

You expect me to welcome you as a friend when you've debased her.

0:48:410:48:44

You think Lady Agnes feels debased?

0:48:440:48:46

Maybe you don't know her quite as well as you think.

0:48:460:48:49

For God's sake, stop it!

0:48:510:48:53

Is that what you had in mind all along? A battle for your honour?

0:49:000:49:03

Relieve the boredom?

0:49:030:49:05

In my mind you were acting like a gentleman,

0:49:050:49:08

not some jealous adolescent!

0:49:080:49:10

And don't follow!

0:49:110:49:13

Ladies and gentlemen!

0:49:270:49:31

For the next bout, the British Amateur welterweight final.

0:49:310:49:37

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:49:370:49:38

To my left Micky Flanagan!

0:49:400:49:45

To my right his opponent...

0:49:460:49:49

His opponent, Harry Spargo!

0:49:530:49:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:50:020:50:05

What's he doing? Where's Johnny?

0:50:120:50:16

Right, lads, come out fighting at the bell.

0:50:170:50:21

BELL RINGS

0:50:210:50:22

Go on, Micky!

0:50:370:50:39

One!

0:51:320:51:34

Two!

0:51:340:51:36

Three!

0:51:360:51:37

Four!

0:51:370:51:38

Five!

0:51:380:51:39

CHEERING

0:51:390:51:42

Nine!

0:51:430:51:44

Ten!

0:51:440:51:46

CHEERING

0:51:460:51:48

The winner of the British Amateur Welterweight final,

0:51:480:51:52

from 165 Eton Place,

0:51:520:51:56

Harold Spargo!

0:51:560:51:59

Go to sleep. Sleep now, darling.

0:52:380:52:41

BABY GIGGLES

0:52:520:52:54

Johnny, what happened to you?

0:53:090:53:12

There was a man at the Palace, I hit him.

0:53:120:53:16

They're going to send me back to Borstal.

0:53:160:53:18

What?

0:53:180:53:19

He offered me money. To... do stuff.

0:53:190:53:22

One of those nancy boys, you know.

0:53:220:53:24

What's to smile about?

0:53:240:53:26

I think he'll want to keep that quiet.

0:53:260:53:28

Come on.

0:53:280:53:31

Darling, I'm sorry. It was my fault.

0:54:060:54:08

It was both our faults.

0:54:080:54:10

There's nothing more to be said.

0:54:110:54:13

HE GROANS

0:54:390:54:40

Will that hurt?

0:55:180:55:20

What do you mean?

0:55:210:55:24

When I kiss you.

0:55:250:55:27

Hallam telephoned one or two editors.

0:56:120:56:14

Managed to square things with the papers.

0:56:140:56:16

Brawling in a public place, not fitting.

0:56:160:56:19

Not 'proper'.

0:56:190:56:21

I can never see you again.

0:56:230:56:25

There are things that are dearer to you. I know, I understand

0:56:280:56:32

and I admire you more than ever.

0:56:320:56:34

Goodbye, Agnes.

0:56:410:56:42

Goodbye, Caspar.

0:56:420:56:45

It's your fault. You've encouraged her.

0:57:030:57:07

You won't admit to yourself that she's changed.

0:57:070:57:09

Ever since you came here my marriage has suffered.

0:57:090:57:12

How convenient to have someone else to blame.

0:57:120:57:16

I'd be obliged if you would move out as soon as possible.

0:57:160:57:20

Agnes not here?

0:57:330:57:35

She's gone to see Landry.

0:57:350:57:36

You insisted?

0:57:380:57:40

She's stronger than I am.

0:57:420:57:44

Of course it should really be pink champagne

0:58:310:58:34

but as neither of us are drinkers.

0:58:340:58:36

We should consider this our last "hurrah" then.

0:58:360:58:39

Exactly so, Mrs Thackeray.

0:58:390:58:41

You're fearless, passionate...

0:58:410:58:44

The German Ambassador's been crowing.

0:58:440:58:47

The Germans have ears everywhere.

0:58:470:58:50

We'll get ourselves visas and passage on a boat,

0:58:510:58:54

and get as far away from this as possible.

0:58:540:58:57

-We couldn't do that.

-Why not?
