0:03:05 > 0:03:12- I'm sure you're wrong about her. - She trifles with men's hearts.- I'm doing nothing important with mine.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Yes! Over here.

0:04:43 > 0:04:50- Are you waiting for Miss Ford? - Miss Claire Ford.- She phoned to say her head was still splitting.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53I see. Too bad.

0:04:53 > 0:04:59- Lots of other ladies sitting round here, Mr Castle. - I dare say. Thanks.

0:05:38 > 0:05:44- Have you seen a dog around here? - Yes. Where is he? - Who is that fellow?

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Come on, then, get up, you...!

0:05:48 > 0:05:52Oh, you poor little thing.

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- Walter!- I'm coming, Sailor.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Is he your dog?- Isn't he yours?

0:05:57 > 0:06:02- I never saw him till a moment ago. - He must belong to somebody.

0:06:02 > 0:06:07- Walter, take the dog!- I don't like the look of this, Miss Irene.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Drowning a dog to get acquainted! - Pardon?

0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Don't mind Walter. - Are you all right?- Yes.- Climb in.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Are you all right?- Yes.- Goodbye.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23- Walter, let the gentleman into the boat.- Just what you want!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26No, I'm quite comfortable...

0:06:26 > 0:06:29Oh! Oh, please get in.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Thank you very much.

0:06:44 > 0:06:49You were wonderful to jump in to rescue a stray dog.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54- I keep wandering dogs in my dressing room.- Dressing room?

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Yes, in the theatre.- Theatre?

0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Are you an actor?- Well, yes.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- You're not the only actor here. - Do you act?- Me? No.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- You?- I...- She's a genius.

0:07:08 > 0:07:14Oh, Walter practically raised me and he's so prejudiced.

0:07:14 > 0:07:21- What show are you with?- She played a fairy queen in Miss Dodd's annual entertainment.- Amateur shows.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Dances like a sunbeam.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28- What's your name?- Castle. - Mine's Foote.

0:07:28 > 0:07:33Mine will be mud when I try to explain this to your mother!

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Why don't you start the motor? - It's broke.- Looks all right.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43OUTBOARD STARTS UP

0:07:59 > 0:08:02Oh, yes.

0:08:02 > 0:08:09- Well, he's our dog.- Our dog? - No-one in the neighbourhood wanted him, so Sailor said she wanted him.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14- What train do you figure on making?- The 5.30.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I figured the 4.30.

0:12:14 > 0:12:21- It's just an expression. - What does it mean?- We speak of certain actors as hams.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24Am I a REAL ham?

0:18:52 > 0:18:55Have you been out front?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58How did you like it?

0:18:58 > 0:19:00You were...terrible.

0:19:02 > 0:19:07So, Miss Irene Foote, actress of New Rochelle, thinks I'm terrible.

0:19:07 > 0:19:15- Thanks for taking the trouble to come back and tell me so. - You COULD be a wonderful dancer.

0:19:15 > 0:19:22- Instead you waste your talent like that.- It takes talent to make people laugh.- I won't let you.

0:19:22 > 0:19:26You won't? What makes you so excited about me?

0:19:26 > 0:19:32You have something no comedian will ever have and you're wasting it.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35What other reason could there be?

0:19:35 > 0:19:40Girls, specially young girls, sometimes get crushes on actors...

0:19:40 > 0:19:42Oh!

0:19:42 > 0:19:44- I-I...- You called ME a ham!

0:19:44 > 0:19:51You're a ham with mustard! If you think I had personal interest in coming back here, you're mistaken!

0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Wait, please.- I- won't annoy you!

0:19:55 > 0:20:00Go on getting soap on your face, and get to be a first comedian.

0:20:00 > 0:20:07I thought you could be a first dancer, because you are a beautiful dancer, but you're so smug,

0:20:07 > 0:20:12that you can't see further than your funny nose!

0:20:32 > 0:20:35Are you expecting someone, Sailor?

0:20:35 > 0:20:40Can't a person sit in their own yard without expecting someone?

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I knew he was a fly-by-night.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Who?- The fellow you're not expecting.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49CAR HORN BLOWS

0:20:53 > 0:20:55Oh!

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Hello, there.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Is Miss Foote at home?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16She's not?

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Did she go out?

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Oh.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25Come on, now.

0:21:25 > 0:21:31- My, it's getting warm, isn't it, Walter?- Hello.- Hello, Mr Castle.

0:21:35 > 0:21:43- I just happened to be out this way so I thought I'd stop by and see if the dog is all right.- He's fine.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Thank you. - I thought he might have been sick.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49No, he's just fine.

0:21:49 > 0:21:57- That's good. You see, I thought he might be sick and I thought I'd...- Come out.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00My, what a beautiful automobile.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04- Is it yours? - Just a little runabout.

0:22:04 > 0:22:08- There's nothing like a good spin. - Makes you dizzy.

0:22:08 > 0:22:14No, it doesn't, Walter. I'm not one way or the other about it.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19Well, I guess I'd better be running along.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Bye.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well, I'm glad the dog is all right.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Get down out of that contraption.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29It ain't safe!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Smile. ..Off.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Bow to the front, the audience, each other.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10- Bows to the front...- The audience. - Each other.

0:24:12 > 0:24:18- Bow to the front..- That's enough! If we get two bows we'll be doing well.

0:24:18 > 0:24:24If we keep on like that, we'll soon ask Mr Fields for a try-out.

0:24:29 > 0:24:34Fieldberg, pressed by Spain, appeals to Uncle Sam for aid.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Hmm, Niagara Falls.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43That's quite a place for...

0:24:43 > 0:24:48- That's quite a place for people to go.- You mean, on honeymoon?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Yes.

0:24:52 > 0:24:56Devil's Island. That's interesting, too.

0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Irene...- Yes?

0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Irene, we've only known each other about three months...- Irene!

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Have you seen my copy of Vogue?

0:25:14 > 0:25:16Here it is, Mother.

0:25:17 > 0:25:22- Anything yet?- Not yet. - Well, I don't want to interrupt.

0:25:30 > 0:25:37- You were saying we've known each other for nearly three months?- Yes.

0:25:37 > 0:25:42My one aim in life has been to keep from getting involved.

0:25:42 > 0:25:47"Vernon, don't get involved." I used to say.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50Well, what are you saying...now?

0:25:50 > 0:25:57Well, you know, I think when people dance well together, it's because they're sympathetic to each other.

0:25:57 > 0:26:04That's part of what I was getting at. Dancing brings people closer together.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Not only closer together... - DOOR OPENS

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Oh, good evening, darling.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13Good evening, Vernon.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17- Dad.- Anything happen while I was out?

0:26:17 > 0:26:22- Everybody finished with the paper? - I'll get it for you, Dad.

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Thanks.

0:26:31 > 0:26:34Some new records I brought.

0:26:35 > 0:26:42Somebody flying an airship across the English Channel. Must have been in a hurry.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Mrs Foote wants to see you right away.- Oh.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Can't you leave them alone?

0:26:53 > 0:26:58I HAVE been all winter. When can we use that parlour?

0:27:00 > 0:27:04GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Do you like this tune?

0:27:13 > 0:27:15Uh-huh.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28- #- Only when you're in my arms

0:27:50 > 0:27:56- #- It's true But only when you're in my arms

0:27:56 > 0:28:04- #- Though I'm ambitious My wishes have always been simple and few

0:28:04 > 0:28:11- #- Give me the moonlight, the music And, darling, an armful of you

0:28:11 > 0:28:17- #- I can see myself doing The things that I never could do

0:28:17 > 0:28:25- #- It's true But only when you're in my arms.- #

0:28:25 > 0:28:32Irene, I'm terribly in love with you. I never thought I'd fall in love. Will you please marry me?

0:28:33 > 0:28:36Yes. I'm in love with you, too.

0:28:36 > 0:28:39You're...?

0:28:39 > 0:28:42Well...thanks!

0:28:47 > 0:28:51Walter! Walter, we're going to be married!

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Are you surprised?- Gee whizz!

0:28:54 > 0:28:58Well, when do we go on the honeymoon?

0:29:01 > 0:29:03Dr Foote!

0:29:03 > 0:29:07You can start using the parlour again.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Vernon, I'm scared.

0:29:20 > 0:29:25No, sweetheart, that's no way to talk. I don't feel rosy myself.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Maybe we're not quite ready yet.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Maybe we should rehearse some more.

0:29:33 > 0:29:35Then come back next week, huh?

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Yes, that's it.- Come on, Walter.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40What are you doing? Running away?

0:29:40 > 0:29:48- We're going home...- To rehearse some more.- And come back next week. - You've been practising for months.

0:29:48 > 0:29:53You done it for me last night and it was beautiful. Sit down.

0:29:53 > 0:29:57And when you dance put your best foot forward.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Hello, how are the newly-weds?

0:30:01 > 0:30:04What do you want to show me?

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- A bride and groom skit? - Mr Fields, em...

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- It's a sort of a dance. - It is a dance.

0:30:12 > 0:30:17- Since when have you had dancing ambitions?- Since he met me.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20Oh. All right, let's look at it.

0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Charlie, put on the front border. - You sit here.

0:30:28 > 0:30:35- I hope I don't disappoint you. - Come on, chin up, chest out, best foot forward. Right, Walter?

0:30:37 > 0:30:41MUSIC: "Waiting For The Robert E Lee"

0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Very nice.- ..No?

0:32:16 > 0:32:22- Why not?- Who's going to pay money to see a man dance with his wife?

0:32:22 > 0:32:27I tell you what I'll do, I'll give Mrs Castle a line in the show.

0:32:27 > 0:32:34- And as for you, Vernon, next season I'll hand you a whole new scene. - That'll be...- What kind of scene?

0:32:34 > 0:32:37- I'm a bricklayer.- I'm your helper.

0:32:37 > 0:32:45- You carry a hod full of bricks. - You trip me up?- No. I shove you in the cement.- I'm covered in it.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- "Pick up those bricks."- I see!

0:32:52 > 0:32:57He is the one, Papa. He is so droll in the barber's shop.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01Right back into the cement!

0:33:06 > 0:33:08What's the matter?

0:33:08 > 0:33:11I'm sorry, sir, I can't do it.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Why not?

0:33:16 > 0:33:18We're going to dance together.

0:33:18 > 0:33:22- Whose idea is this?- Ours.- Ours.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26As a comedian you're valuable to me,

0:33:26 > 0:33:31but as a dancer, even two dancers, you wouldn't bring in two nickels.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33We think you're wrong.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're wrong.

0:33:37 > 0:33:44Don't take it too badly, Mrs Castle, we all make mistakes. See you later, Vernon.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Huh! Greenhorn.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52Do you think it's true, what he says?

0:33:52 > 0:33:58We can try some other managers. We want to dance and we're going to.

0:33:58 > 0:34:00- I wish I knew where.- M. Castle.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02Monsieur Castle.

0:34:02 > 0:34:08- Yes?- I am Monsieur Aubel and this is Emile, my son.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13My father and I have purchased the French rights to the Hen Pecks.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17We have the play in Paris. We want YOU in it.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- You want...?- Oh, Vernon, darling!

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Our honeymoon in Paris, with pay!

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- You come?- Sure, we come!

0:34:28 > 0:34:35- Walter, I don't know about you. - He comes if it takes our last cent. - You think I'd let you go alone?

0:34:35 > 0:34:37Gee whizz!

0:34:39 > 0:34:43MUSIC: "Waiting For The Robert E Lee"

0:35:01 > 0:35:06- Wait a minute, there's the theatre! - Hey!- There it is.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11- Turn around. Tell him to turn! - Woah!

0:35:11 > 0:35:14Au secours!

0:35:19 > 0:35:22Have him wait, Walter.

0:35:22 > 0:35:27- No, Vernon, that's too expensive. - Our salary starts any minute.

0:35:27 > 0:35:29Attendez!

0:35:35 > 0:35:38Hello, Mr Aubel.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41How do you do?

0:35:41 > 0:35:44- Bonjour.- Here we are.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47Bonjour.

0:35:47 > 0:35:51I believe you telephoned our secretary.

0:35:51 > 0:35:56Oui, oui, I'm very sorry, but it is so.

0:35:56 > 0:35:57What?

0:35:57 > 0:36:00But you told him we were late.

0:36:00 > 0:36:07< Emile? No, no, WE are late. Nous, not vous. The play is late.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10Au revoir, we see you in six weeks.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17What are we going to do? We haven't any money.

0:36:17 > 0:36:23- Wait a minute. Monsieur...- Let me. I'm used to this. It's very simple.

0:36:24 > 0:36:30- M. Aubel, could we trouble you for the usual advance on our salary? - Au revoir.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35- We're a little short of cash! - Tut, tut, tut.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41Ah!

0:36:45 > 0:36:47A la bonheur.

0:36:58 > 0:37:00Monsieur Aubel,

0:37:00 > 0:37:02please...?

0:37:03 > 0:37:06For you, Madame. Emile!

0:37:12 > 0:37:16You will please sign? A formality.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21Wait, this says for eight days' salary, not seven.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Interest. Like a bank.

0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Oh.- Is this customary?- I guess so.

0:37:27 > 0:37:34Our country seems so strange to you. You must not bother about business. You are young, and it is Paris!

0:37:34 > 0:37:37Papa!

0:37:37 > 0:37:40Au revoir, Madame.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47Aaaaaah!

0:37:47 > 0:37:52- Le chien m'a mordu. - Oh, you BAD dog. We're so sorry(!)

0:37:56 > 0:38:00- I wait. - From now on, we walk.

0:38:00 > 0:38:05- Pay him, Walter.- And take Zowie back to that fancy hotel and pack.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08We're going to look for a flat.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Bye.- Attendez? Huh!

0:38:14 > 0:38:17- What?- Ppphrrt.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24Ppphrt to you! Au revoir.

0:38:25 > 0:38:33- We've got our health, we're young, in Paris, and on our honeymoon. What more do we want?- Nothing.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37Oh, look, isn't that a darling Dutch cap?

0:38:37 > 0:38:40- We can afford that.- Oh, no!

0:38:40 > 0:38:45- But you want it.- I told you, I don't want anything but you.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16Must we be subjected to this brawling?

0:40:16 > 0:40:19Pardon, Madame, m'excuse.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23But I am hoarse from screaming for my rent!

0:40:23 > 0:40:28You'll have to scream for his rent too, if you don't mind your manners.

0:40:28 > 0:40:34I have brought him a client who can't STAND noise. Quiet.

0:40:36 > 0:40:41Such a quaint place, isn't it? Veritable bit of Bohemia.

0:40:41 > 0:40:48Really, Maggie, these obscure geniuses of yours. I don't know whether they're worth it or not.

0:40:48 > 0:40:53I am sure this one is. Yes, because you get 10% of what I pay him.

0:40:53 > 0:40:58Can't you work faster? Faster! FASTER? Je travaille comme ca!

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Ah-hah! Will you carve?

0:41:44 > 0:41:47I'm not hungry.

0:41:47 > 0:41:54- Vernon.- Why don't we get a call? Why don't they start? Maybe we're not in the show.- You know we are!

0:41:54 > 0:41:59- You're the optimist. You always see the bright side.- Bright side?

0:42:01 > 0:42:06- Darling, that's all that's left. - < CRASH!

0:42:23 > 0:42:28- Where are my dancing shoes? - The trunk.- They're on your feet.

0:42:28 > 0:42:33I can't go until I've pressed my suit. I'll meet you there.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07But you hired us to dance.

0:43:07 > 0:43:13Dance? No, no, we have the dancers. You will be a knock-out.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42Hello, Zowie.

0:43:42 > 0:43:44I got myself all pressed up.

0:44:19 > 0:44:21Oh, my little Dutch cap.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25We didn't have money to buy this.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28We haven't now.

0:44:29 > 0:44:37They didn't hire us to dance. They want me for the barber shop scene. I said I wouldn't do it.

0:44:37 > 0:44:41Then, they brought up the money we owe them.

0:44:43 > 0:44:49Vernon, would they let you dance alone, cos if they would...

0:44:49 > 0:44:53Do you think I'd want to dance without you?

0:44:53 > 0:45:00I should have let you keep on doing what you were doing. It's all my fault.

0:45:00 > 0:45:02No, it isn't.

0:45:02 > 0:45:07Look, darling, we're all right now. After all, you have got a job.

0:45:07 > 0:45:15It may not be the job we wanted, but still it's a job. And maybe later on, we'll get a chance to...

0:45:15 > 0:45:17sometime.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20Maybe sometime.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Hey.

0:45:29 > 0:45:32Dance with me.

0:45:32 > 0:45:35All the people downstairs...

0:45:37 > 0:45:44Look, we'll do it quietly, like this, just as if we're walking on air.

0:45:44 > 0:45:49Funny, and we're down to earth for the first time.

0:45:51 > 0:45:56HE WHISTLES: "Waiting For The Robert E Lee."

0:46:06 > 0:46:12What do you suppose they're doing? And you call ME nervous?

0:46:12 > 0:46:14I'm not nervous, simply curious.

0:46:14 > 0:46:20- That's nice.- Take a good look. This is our farewell appearance.

0:46:27 > 0:46:29DOOR BANGS SHUT

0:46:29 > 0:46:31- Get me a chair.- Hmmm?

0:46:31 > 0:46:34I said, get me a chair!

0:46:34 > 0:46:36What do you call that?

0:46:36 > 0:46:39What you were doing.

0:46:39 > 0:46:44Oh, I don't know. I guess you might call it the Castle Walk.

0:46:44 > 0:46:50- Castle Walk?- Castle - our name. - I'm Vernon Castle and this is my wife.- I'm Walter.

0:46:51 > 0:46:54I'm Maggie Sutton.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Oh. Maggie Sutton?

0:46:56 > 0:46:59Of course.

0:46:59 > 0:47:05- Would you like to try out for a dancing job?- What?- Where? - The Cafe de Paris.

0:47:05 > 0:47:09The Cafe de Paris! Irene!

0:47:09 > 0:47:13- YOU know the manager...? - My dear, the manager knows me.

0:47:13 > 0:47:19- We've got a JOB!- A try-out. All I could guarantee was your dinner.

0:47:19 > 0:47:25- Could you arrange the dinner for tonight?- And we dance tomorrow? - Very well.

0:47:25 > 0:47:30- Dinner at the Cafe de Paris. - Dinner any place.- ..Dinner.

0:47:32 > 0:47:35Eh...does this person dance too?

0:47:35 > 0:47:38- No, but I eat. - He's our sort of manager.

0:47:38 > 0:47:42- He WAS your manager. - So, you're an agent?

0:47:42 > 0:47:48I am an entrepreneuse but I expect my 10%. THUMPS STICK

0:47:48 > 0:47:53- THUMPING FROM BELOW - That's some old crank downstairs.

0:47:55 > 0:47:58I beg your pardon?

0:48:28 > 0:48:30# Je passerai chez toi la soiree

0:48:56 > 0:48:59Everyone is staring at you.

0:48:59 > 0:49:04- Oh dear, I hope not?- You look beautiful, just like a bride.

0:49:04 > 0:49:08I should, in my wedding dress. I hope it brings luck.

0:49:08 > 0:49:15I am honoured by your presence, Your Highness. You should thank Miss Sutton.

0:49:15 > 0:49:18She is my guide to Paris. None better.

0:49:20 > 0:49:24They look very respectable for dancers.

0:49:24 > 0:49:30Dancers? You must come back tomorrow. Louis has a treat for you.

0:49:30 > 0:49:36Tomorrow I am leaving. Why do they not dance tonight? I doubt if they're prepared.

0:49:36 > 0:49:40One simply dances! Have them dance.

0:49:40 > 0:49:45I think it could be quite amusing.

0:49:45 > 0:49:50- A little more caviar, please. - And plenty of the truffles.

0:49:50 > 0:49:56- Such a rush all day I didn't have time for tea. - The food is so dull at the club.

0:49:56 > 0:49:59Can you dance now?

0:49:59 > 0:50:05- Now? Tonight?- I have a Grand Duke over there. If he likes you, you're made.

0:50:05 > 0:50:12- But...- We haven't rehearsed with the orchestra.- They'll play what you want.- Our dinner...- No, no!

0:50:12 > 0:50:20- Dance first.- If he doesn't like us do we still get our dinner?- If you feel like it.- We've nothing to lose.

0:50:20 > 0:50:24Tell them to play Too Much Mustard.

0:50:29 > 0:50:32MUSIC STOPS

0:50:32 > 0:50:35GRAND FANFARE

0:52:35 > 0:52:39- I'm not a bit hungry now. - Neither am I!

0:52:39 > 0:52:46Magnifique! From now on, you dance here every night, and I pay you.

0:52:46 > 0:52:49- A tip from the Grand Duke.- A tip?

0:52:49 > 0:52:54- We can't possibly accept it... - This is no time for pride! We need it.

0:52:54 > 0:52:57Irene, look what they're doing.

0:52:59 > 0:53:04I think you've started something tonight, Mr and Mrs Vernon Castle.

0:55:59 > 0:56:04Isn't there anything in this country except the Castles?

0:56:24 > 0:56:27MUSIC: "Little Brown Jug"

1:00:04 > 1:00:08# Take me back to New York Town. #

1:00:13 > 1:00:20- When are you going to break the news to Maggie?- The moment she mentions another tour.

1:00:20 > 1:00:27- You'll have trouble with her. - Is it Maggie's life or ours?- Ours. - It's time she found that out.

1:00:27 > 1:00:34Very nice! Well, I have some vulgar financial matters to take up with you. Ideas for your next tour.

1:00:34 > 1:00:42- There won't be another tour for a while.- I know you're tired, so I've arranged a week's rest,

1:00:42 > 1:00:47before you start out. ..What's this?

1:00:47 > 1:00:54- We're going out on the platform. She needs air.- Another mouth to feed. That makes seven.

1:00:54 > 1:00:58- Where did you buy that?- Baltimore. Here's the bill.

1:00:58 > 1:01:01- Hello, Maggie. - Maggie? Very touching.

1:01:01 > 1:01:08- We'll be in New York in an hour. - Maggie, we want to buy a house in the country.

1:01:08 > 1:01:14- Buy it!- Yes, but we want to live in it.- Live in it! - She wants water.

1:01:17 > 1:01:21Listen, you'd better make hay while the sun shines.

1:01:21 > 1:01:28- Maggie, we're in love. We've made enough money. Now we want to live like married people.- In a house.

1:01:28 > 1:01:34- We're not going to sign any contracts.- We're going to visit England.

1:01:34 > 1:01:42- Vernon's going to show me everything he knew before we met. - I didn't know anything then!

1:01:42 > 1:01:45Do I smell honeysuckle and roses?

1:01:45 > 1:01:50And you can't raise children on a dancing tour!

1:01:50 > 1:01:55- At your age, with your opportunities... - Don't try and talk us out of it.

1:01:55 > 1:02:01- Don't interrupt me. I was saying... - It won't make any difference.

1:02:01 > 1:02:05I'd want to do exactly what you're going to do.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08Where are we?

1:02:08 > 1:02:11Extra! Extra! >

1:02:20 > 1:02:21Here, boy. Boy!

1:02:24 > 1:02:28Germany declares war. England mobilises.

1:02:28 > 1:02:32"Thousands volunteer for British Army."

1:02:37 > 1:02:45I guess it won't amount to anything. It says here Europe can't afford a war.

1:02:52 > 1:02:58- Will you be staying the night here? - No! I find the quiet very disturbing.

1:02:58 > 1:03:03I see they bombed Paris again. Here comes Sailor.

1:03:03 > 1:03:06- Hello, Maggie!- Hello, there.

1:03:06 > 1:03:11- Have you told Vernon who's here? - I will. How are you, Maggie?

1:03:15 > 1:03:21- Are you coming back to the outside world? - There's nothing going on.

1:03:21 > 1:03:24There's a war going on.

1:03:24 > 1:03:29- Don't let Vernon hear you say that. - Then it's on his mind?- Not at all.

1:03:29 > 1:03:36- Women are pathetic when they try to fight something bigger than them. - I'm not trying to fight anything.

1:03:36 > 1:03:45- Vernon's my life, and I'm his. Isn't that enough?- One girl against an army?- Let's find Vernon.

1:03:49 > 1:03:53- Vernon, Maggie's here! - Hello, Maggie.

1:03:54 > 1:03:57- Vernon!- What's the matter?

1:03:57 > 1:03:59Oh, Vernon!

1:03:59 > 1:04:05Oh, the uniform. It's for the British benefit. They've asked me to dance.

1:04:05 > 1:04:11- If this is your idea of a joke! - No! Oh, I'm sorry, darling.

1:04:11 > 1:04:17I haven't enlisted. Some crazy fellow in the Publicity department sent this down.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22So, you went and done it, huh?

1:04:22 > 1:04:30- No, Walter...- You told me if you enlisted, I could join up too.- This isn't real. It's for the benefit.

1:04:30 > 1:04:37- He's not going to wear it.- No. We'll find something else to wear. - Looks like a regular soldier!

1:04:37 > 1:04:40Here's the afternoon paper.

1:04:43 > 1:04:48- I don't dare read the newspapers any more.- Neither do I.

1:04:48 > 1:04:53- Maggie, what am I going to do? - Nothing. War is man's business.

1:04:55 > 1:04:59# It's a long way to Tipperary

1:04:59 > 1:05:03# It's a long way to go

1:05:03 > 1:05:06# It's a long way to Tipperary

1:05:06 > 1:05:10# To the sweetest girl I know... #

1:05:10 > 1:05:15There's 2,000 people waiting to see you, Mr Castle.

1:05:15 > 1:05:18No, they came to see them not me.

1:05:18 > 1:05:22# It's a long, long way to Tipperary

1:05:22 > 1:05:26# But my heart lies there. #

1:05:26 > 1:05:28Ready, Mr Castle.

1:05:28 > 1:05:31Mr Castle?

1:05:31 > 1:05:34Go on, darling.

1:05:35 > 1:05:38APPLAUSE

1:05:38 > 1:05:42- #- Jeremiah Jones, a ladies' man was he

1:05:42 > 1:05:45- #- Any pretty girl could turn his head

1:05:45 > 1:05:52- #- He had an awful fright While strolling out one night When someone winked, and said...- #

1:05:55 > 1:05:59There you are. Off you go.

1:05:59 > 1:06:04# Hello, hello, who's your ladyfriend?

1:06:04 > 1:06:08# Who's the little girlie by your side?

1:06:08 > 1:06:10# I've seen you with a girl or two

1:06:10 > 1:06:14# Oh, oh, oh! I AM surprised at you!

1:06:14 > 1:06:21# Hello, stop your little game Don't you think your ways you ought to mend?

1:06:21 > 1:06:25# This isn't the girl I saw you with at Brighton

1:06:25 > 1:06:32# Who, who, who's your lady Who, who, who's your lady Who, who, who's your ladyfriend? #

1:07:00 > 1:07:07# Who, who, who's your ladyfriend? #

1:07:13 > 1:07:18- Take another bow? - No, Frank, let them take the bows.

1:07:18 > 1:07:21Fine bunch of men.

1:07:22 > 1:07:25Ladies and gentlemen,

1:07:25 > 1:07:30< we want to thank all of the performers...

1:07:30 > 1:07:36Where's the recruiting officer? A man wants to join up. He's talking to Mr Castle.

1:07:42 > 1:07:46MUSIC: "Keep The Home Fires Burning"

1:07:52 > 1:07:57- Frank, have you seen Mr Castle? - He just went downstairs.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04Vernon!

1:08:08 > 1:08:13Darling, I've enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps.

1:08:13 > 1:08:19I had to. Maybe if America was in the war, you'd understand how I feel,

1:08:19 > 1:08:22- why I had to.- I know.

1:08:22 > 1:08:29It won't last long. They say one more push and it'll all be over. That's not so bad, is it?

1:08:30 > 1:08:39Then I'll come back, we'll settle down, and have the house again and everything. Just as we were.

1:08:39 > 1:08:41Yes, darling.

1:08:41 > 1:08:47They may kick me out sooner than that. I'll probably make a bad soldier.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50You'll make a very good soldier.

1:10:08 > 1:10:11GUNFIRE CONTINUES

1:11:17 > 1:11:22- You hooked your aileron.- I know. - Blimey, how did you get back?

1:11:22 > 1:11:28- I had to get back. My furlough starts today.- You've earned it! - Telegram!

1:11:28 > 1:11:30- Sailor's in Paris.- What?

1:11:30 > 1:11:36Walter, we'll be seeing her tonight. We'll see her tonight!

1:11:36 > 1:11:39- Castle.- Yes, sir.

1:11:39 > 1:11:43- You'd better see these plate-holders. - What's wrong?

1:11:45 > 1:11:48Busted the whole lot.

1:11:48 > 1:11:54Yes. That bullet had your name on it. You can get them tomorrow.

1:11:54 > 1:12:01- I start my leave this afternoon. - It'll have to be postponed. GHQ want the sector covered.

1:12:01 > 1:12:06- Can I go up now?- Without a convoy? - I can use Morgan's plane.- Well...

1:12:06 > 1:12:10- Go ahead. Good luck.- Thanks.

1:12:10 > 1:12:12Flight, stand by that plane!

1:12:15 > 1:12:22- Why don't you get going?- Where? - Paris. Tell Irene I'll meet her tonight at 8 o'clock.

1:12:22 > 1:12:26Tell her to save the first dance for me.

1:12:46 > 1:12:49Well, don't just sit there. Talk!

1:12:49 > 1:12:53There ain't much news where I come from.

1:12:53 > 1:12:58- Then, make some up.- Well... we lost a couple of planes...

1:13:00 > 1:13:03..but they lost more.

1:13:03 > 1:13:06Guess that ain't very interesting.

1:13:06 > 1:13:13- Did you tell Walter about your offer to go to California to make moving pictures?- Is that so?

1:13:13 > 1:13:17- Maggie, why doesn't he come? - He's all right.

1:13:17 > 1:13:25Back home, I used to think, "Oh, if I could only be over there with him." And now I'm here and...

1:13:25 > 1:13:27he's not.

1:13:29 > 1:13:32GRAND FANFARE

1:13:32 > 1:13:34Ladies and gentlemen,

1:13:34 > 1:13:40a few years ago I introduced someone who is now MOST famous.

1:13:40 > 1:13:45She has come back to dance for us again, Mrs Vernon Castle.

1:13:59 > 1:14:02Ladies and gentlemen, I...

1:14:04 > 1:14:06I...

1:14:18 > 1:14:19Oh, Vernon.

1:16:28 > 1:16:30Quarter to five.

1:16:35 > 1:16:39It's almost daylight.

1:16:44 > 1:16:48Oh, Vernon, how long do you think it will go on?

1:16:48 > 1:16:52I don't know. Nobody seems to know.

1:16:52 > 1:16:59Is it terribly dangerous in those planes? I mean... worse than in the trenches?

1:16:59 > 1:17:05- We said we wouldn't talk about it. - But it's almost morning, you'll be going back,

1:17:05 > 1:17:08and I won't see you for a long time.

1:17:08 > 1:17:13I know it's foolish. I'm not the only soldier's wife...

1:17:13 > 1:17:16You WILL be careful, won't you?

1:17:17 > 1:17:20I'll be careful.

1:17:20 > 1:17:25- What's more, I think I'm going to be lucky.- Lucky?- Yes.

1:17:25 > 1:17:32They say there's one bullet with your name on it. If it misses, you come out all right.

1:17:32 > 1:17:37- I think my bullet missed me yesterday.- Darling...

1:17:37 > 1:17:43And from now on, I'm going to be all right. It's a good idea to hang on to.

1:17:43 > 1:17:46I'll hang on to it.

1:17:49 > 1:17:53You think of everything, don't you?

1:17:53 > 1:18:00You even thought of coming here instead of the Ritz, or some place that might not feel like home.

1:18:00 > 1:18:04- CHEERING - What's that?

1:18:04 > 1:18:08Oh, Vernon, maybe the war is over!

1:18:08 > 1:18:11CHEERS AND CLAMOUR

1:18:17 > 1:18:22- What's happened? Qu-est ce que c'est? - Je ne sais pas, monsieur.

1:18:22 > 1:18:26Les Americains! Les Americains!

1:18:30 > 1:18:33The Americans have come into the war.

1:18:33 > 1:18:41- America!- Hurray!- You know what that means.- The war's practically over.- Vive America!

1:18:41 > 1:18:42Vive la France!

1:18:42 > 1:18:47# Allons, enfants de la patrie

1:18:47 > 1:18:50# Le jour de gloire est arrive. #

1:19:43 > 1:19:45We're ready, Mrs Castle.

1:19:56 > 1:20:01All right, Mrs Castle. Now, let's make this bigger than the war.

1:20:03 > 1:20:06Camera! Action!

1:20:06 > 1:20:10< That's it, Mrs Castle, closer! Closer, Mrs Castle!

1:20:10 > 1:20:13Irene, telephone!

1:20:13 > 1:20:16Can't you see we're shooting? Irene!

1:20:16 > 1:20:21- Vernon's on the telephone. He's in Canada.- Oh, Vernon!

1:20:21 > 1:20:24Cut!

1:20:25 > 1:20:28Cut! Cut!

1:20:30 > 1:20:32CUT!

1:20:32 > 1:20:35Hello? ..HELLO!

1:20:35 > 1:20:37Darling, I just landed in Canada.

1:20:37 > 1:20:43- But I'm being transferred to Fort Worth, Texas. - That's practically here.

1:20:43 > 1:20:49- I'm to be a flying instructor for the American Army. - Hello, 'ow are ya?

1:20:49 > 1:20:57- Tell her.- That was Walter. Can you meet me next weekend? - Oh! I can't wait.- Me, TOO!

1:20:57 > 1:20:59Yes, darling.

1:21:24 > 1:21:32- I want a room where we can have dinner in absolute privacy. - Just leave it to me, Captain.

1:21:32 > 1:21:36- This ain't so much. - Nice set-up? Cosy?

1:21:36 > 1:21:39I know the ladies. They like things nice.

1:21:39 > 1:21:47- Who do you think is going to be... - Walter. My friend is a bit straight-laced.- I know the type.

1:21:47 > 1:21:49Well, he's in the army now, eh?

1:21:49 > 1:21:56- Can you close off that garden? - You'll be as snug as a bug in a rug.

1:21:56 > 1:22:01- I want to reserve the garden, and the orchestra.- Oh, atmosphere?

1:22:01 > 1:22:03- No, music, you dumb...- Walter.

1:22:03 > 1:22:09Try to be a little more sophisticated like the gentleman.

1:22:09 > 1:22:14- You've to report back to the field immediately.- I've got weekend leave.

1:22:14 > 1:22:19Sorry, Captain, but a Brigadier General blew in for inspection.

1:22:19 > 1:22:26- They want all pilots in the air this afternoon.- Thank you. I'll have to leave it all to you.

1:22:26 > 1:22:31I know what you want. A hot bird, a cold bottle and a warm shoulder.

1:22:31 > 1:22:38- Here's a list of the music I want. Explain to the lady I'll be late.- What's her name?

1:22:38 > 1:22:44- It's his wife.- Wife?!- Yes. Do you mind?- No, but I don't understand it.

1:22:58 > 1:23:01All right, Castle.

1:23:01 > 1:23:03Only one more hour.

1:23:05 > 1:23:13- Hey, young fellow, sit in the back. - But student pilots...- I know. I like to ride in front.- Yes, sir.

1:23:13 > 1:23:21- Why won't he ride in the back? - It's since that crash in Canada when the boy in front got killed.

1:23:22 > 1:23:25- Contact.- Contact.

1:23:45 > 1:23:50Here it is. Best suite in the house. You're right across the hall.

1:23:50 > 1:23:57- Did Captain Castle say how long he would be?- No, ma'am, but dinner is at 7.30 in a private room.

1:23:57 > 1:24:03Sounds almost wicked. We cater only to a family trade. My card.

1:24:03 > 1:24:07If I can be of service to you, call on me.

1:24:07 > 1:24:10A wife-beater if ever I saw one.

1:24:10 > 1:24:17- Maggie, won't you have dinner with us? We'd love to have you. - Liar. You get dressed.

1:24:25 > 1:24:29Here comes Castle's squadron now. Colonel, look!

1:24:29 > 1:24:32Don't let that fool take off!

1:24:32 > 1:24:34Flag him down! >

1:25:28 > 1:25:35- Walter! Oh, it's wonderful to see you.- Hello, Sailor. - Where's Vernon? Oh, so that's it.

1:25:35 > 1:25:36Vernon.

1:25:36 > 1:25:42We wait months to see each other and now you play games.

1:25:42 > 1:25:44Vernon!

1:25:45 > 1:25:47Where is he?

1:25:49 > 1:25:52- What's happened?- Sailor...

1:25:52 > 1:25:55- Vernon's...- He's hurt!

1:25:56 > 1:25:59Where is he?

1:25:59 > 1:26:01I've got to...

1:26:03 > 1:26:06NO.

1:26:06 > 1:26:11He had his choice of hitting another plane

1:26:11 > 1:26:13or crashing his own.

1:26:13 > 1:26:19The student with him wasn't hurt much, but Vernon was in the front seat.

1:26:20 > 1:26:23He was a hero, Sailor.

1:26:24 > 1:26:26Oh, Vernon.

1:26:26 > 1:26:33They remember what he did this afternoon. They remember a lot of things he did.

1:26:33 > 1:26:39The way he laughed and danced, and how he made other people want to dance.

1:26:39 > 1:26:46- Walter, he was just beginning to live.- He'll go on living for you and me.

1:26:46 > 1:26:51Maybe even for a lot of people that never knew him.

1:26:51 > 1:26:56There's got to be something of him in everyone who gets up to dance.

1:26:56 > 1:27:01- MUSIC: "By The Sea" - They were singing that the day I met him.

1:27:01 > 1:27:04- I'd better tell them to stop.- No.

1:27:04 > 1:27:06He wanted them tonight.

1:27:06 > 1:27:10MUSIC: "By The Light Of The Silvery Moon"

1:27:10 > 1:27:14That was at the train the first time he kissed me.

1:27:14 > 1:27:17Don't, Sailor.

1:27:17 > 1:27:20Don't you want to go to your room now?

1:27:20 > 1:27:23Go tell Maggie.

1:27:27 > 1:27:31MUSIC: "Only When You're In My Arms"
