0:01:52 > 0:01:53Hello.

0:01:53 > 0:01:54Looking for someone?

0:01:54 > 0:01:55Yeah.

0:01:55 > 0:01:56On the 2:30?

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Well, there she is.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20You Mr Dunnigan?

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Yes.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23I'm Nick Orloff. How do you do?

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Better unload.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31Hurry up there. We haven't got all day.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Uh, are you the husband

0:03:28 > 0:03:31of the deceased back there?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33No, I'm just a friend.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34I see.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Quite a surprise when I got your telegram

0:03:36 > 0:03:38from Hollywood.

0:03:38 > 0:03:39Yes, sir.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Never had a client from Hollywood before.

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Hmm.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Thought I knew every family in Coaltown.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Treskovna.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53No. Never heard of them.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55No.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57No family in Coaltown by that name -

0:03:57 > 0:04:00Treskovna - willing to bet you.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Olga Treskovna was her professional name.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05I see.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08She was an actress.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10You don't say.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Used to live in Coaltown, huh?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15What's her, uh, real name?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Olga Truckee.

0:04:17 > 0:04:18What?

0:04:18 > 0:04:20You mean Stan Truckee's kid?

0:04:20 > 0:04:22He was a coal miner.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24Stan Truckee was no miner.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26He was a lush.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28I gave him a first-class 100 funeral.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31His kid, Olga, arranged for it in person.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32Deadbeats, both of them.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Never paid me.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Why are you stopping?

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I ain't burying any more deadbeats

0:04:44 > 0:04:45until they pay up.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47You mean right now?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I've waited four years.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55It was a 90 funeral, not 100.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56She told me.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58She paid you 10. That leaves 80.

0:04:58 > 0:04:59Give me 20.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01Oh, no.

0:05:01 > 0:05:02What about the extras -

0:05:02 > 0:05:04the flowers for the grave and pallbearers

0:05:04 > 0:05:06out of my own pocket?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm a respectable businessman.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09I never cheated nobody.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12When I say 100 bucks, it's 100 bucks.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17My mistake, Mr Orloff...

0:05:17 > 0:05:20not noticing your fine qualities.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28People think dying is cheap,

0:05:28 > 0:05:32but it costs more to be buried than to be born.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Yes, sir. When you figure all the incidentals...

0:05:34 > 0:05:36Shut up.

0:05:36 > 0:05:37I was only saying...

0:05:37 > 0:05:38You've said enough.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53Must be some place in this town that's open,

0:15:53 > 0:15:55besides the county jail.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08'There will never be a walk again

0:16:08 > 0:16:09'like the one that night.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11'Laughing in the snow,

0:16:11 > 0:16:15'you telling me to listen to the reindeer bells.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17'I felt as though I were drunk,

0:16:17 > 0:16:21'but I didn't know I'd feel the same way

0:16:21 > 0:16:23'every time I was with you.'

0:16:25 > 0:16:27This way, please.

0:16:27 > 0:16:28How nice.

0:16:28 > 0:16:30Yes.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33Here you are close to the snow and to a radiator.

0:16:35 > 0:16:36Are you Ming Gow?

0:16:36 > 0:16:37Yes.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39My name's Bill. This is Olga.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42I hope we're not a nuisance coming in.

0:16:42 > 0:16:43I'm happy to have you.

0:16:43 > 0:16:45Not much trade on Christmas Eve.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47No. Everybody is home.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48But show people.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50And Ming Gow.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52No, no. Please.

0:16:52 > 0:16:53Will the lady and gentleman

0:16:53 > 0:16:55allow me to prepare dinner?

0:16:55 > 0:16:56Thank you.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59In Iowa, we run into a Chinese Santa Claus.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00It's a wonderful night.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02First, bird's nest soup

0:17:02 > 0:17:05with lotus seed floating in it,

0:17:05 > 0:17:07then fing han,

0:17:07 > 0:17:09which is lobster fixed in the Cantonese manner.

0:17:09 > 0:17:10Oh.

0:17:12 > 0:17:13and some gai-lan soon,

0:17:13 > 0:17:16which is only broccoli with a Chinese accent.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18Then hop tan yei - chicken and walnuts.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Hold it, Ming. That'll be enough.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Please. There will be more.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25Bill, let him.

0:17:25 > 0:17:26You're so nice, Ming Gow.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28We're so lucky to meet you tonight.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31We were walking through the snow...

0:17:31 > 0:17:32and the weary travellers

0:17:32 > 0:17:34came upon a castle in the snow,

0:17:34 > 0:17:36presided over by a magician named Ming Gow,

0:17:36 > 0:17:38who set before them

0:17:38 > 0:17:40pomegranates and guinea hen from Zanzibar.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42Give us the works.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Let's have a feast to remember.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45You shall have a feast

0:17:45 > 0:17:47that you shall always remember.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Ahh.

0:17:53 > 0:17:56Ming, tremendous.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Calls for a cigar.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59I'll bring it. No, I'll get it.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09SHE COUGHS

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Thank you.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23How about some music, Olga?

0:18:23 > 0:18:25Oh, I'd love it.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33MUSIC: Silent Night

0:18:36 > 0:18:39I always liked those tunes on Christmas Eve.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Used to hear them when I was a kid.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44How are you, baby?

0:18:44 > 0:18:45Fine, Bill.

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Good.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49A toast from that eminent philosopher Ming Gow

0:18:49 > 0:18:50is in order.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52The floor is yours, Ming.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58A long time ago,

0:18:58 > 0:19:01three wise men followed a star,

0:19:01 > 0:19:04found a child in a cradle.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08We also are all from far away.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10Tonight, we were brought together

0:19:10 > 0:19:14by someone who makes the snow fall.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I drink to what we shall find.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19How nice.

0:19:23 > 0:19:25You don't think it was an accident,

0:19:25 > 0:19:27my running into Olga again?

0:19:27 > 0:19:30No. These things are all written.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32We follow the script, huh?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Yes. We follow.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38Maybe you tell me something.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40What would you like to know, Ming Gow?

0:19:40 > 0:19:41Your name.

0:19:41 > 0:19:45Olga Truckee, alias Olga Treskovna.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Truckee, huh?

0:19:46 > 0:19:48Do you mind telling me a little?

0:19:48 > 0:19:49No.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52When did you first decide to be an actress?

0:19:52 > 0:19:55When I was a little girl, I think.

0:19:55 > 0:19:57Where was that?

0:19:57 > 0:19:59I was born in Poland.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01When I was quite young,

0:20:01 > 0:20:04we came to America to a place in Pennsylvania

0:20:04 > 0:20:06called...

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Coaltown.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09Little Poland.

0:20:09 > 0:20:10Near Wilkes-Barre?

0:20:10 > 0:20:11Yes.

0:20:12 > 0:20:15Coaltown killed my mother.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19And then four years ago,

0:20:19 > 0:20:21my father died.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23Coaltown killed him, too.

0:20:26 > 0:20:29But my father was very sweet and kind.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31He played the accordion and sang,

0:20:31 > 0:20:33and he used to say to me

0:20:33 > 0:20:35when he had a hangover...

0:20:35 > 0:20:38which was... very often...

0:20:40 > 0:20:43"Go away someplace, Olga, and sing.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45"Dance, act, and sing.

0:20:45 > 0:20:48"Try to be happy.

0:20:48 > 0:20:52"That will make other people happy, too."

0:20:52 > 0:20:54He taught me all the songs he knew.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Polish songs.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Sad ones, happy ones,

0:20:58 > 0:21:00all kinds.

0:21:00 > 0:21:02Sing one for us - a happy one.

0:21:02 > 0:21:03Oh, no.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Yes. Please do.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13SHE SINGS IN POLISH

0:21:56 > 0:21:58That's good.

0:21:58 > 0:21:59Just a little song.

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Everybody in Coaltown knows it.

0:22:02 > 0:22:03It's about coming home

0:22:03 > 0:22:06when you've been away for a long time.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Now you're going to be a star.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12Yes. I keep studying between shows and on the trains.

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'll be ready when my chance comes.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16You know our show's headed west?

0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's where Hollywood is.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19According to last reports.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23I'm going to make good there.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25I must.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Not so fast. You've just started.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29You need a couple years in stock

0:22:29 > 0:22:31playing the old plays.

0:22:31 > 0:22:32You've got a lot to learn.

0:22:32 > 0:22:34I haven't time for that, Bill.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36I want to get there quickly.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42When I am a big star in my own dressing room

0:22:42 > 0:22:44and all the interviewers ask me,

0:22:44 > 0:22:47"How did this success come to you, Olga?"

0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'll tell them it came from...

0:22:52 > 0:22:54..Bill Dunnigan,

0:22:54 > 0:22:58who once said, "Give the kid a break."

0:22:58 > 0:23:01And I'll be right there taking a bow, too.

0:23:01 > 0:23:03But a year in stock is what you need.

0:23:03 > 0:23:05You're only 20.

0:23:05 > 0:23:06There are two kinds of people

0:23:06 > 0:23:09who don't have enough time -

0:23:09 > 0:23:12the very old... and the very young.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16I think we'd better go.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19It's late, and we have to catch early trains.

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Look. It stopped snowing.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'll bet you the whole town's asleep except us.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27Well, let's have the check, Ming.

0:23:27 > 0:23:28No check.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30Oh, come on. We ate the whole restaurant.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32No check, please.

0:23:32 > 0:23:34On Christmas, people exchange gifts.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Let this humble meal be my gift

0:23:36 > 0:23:39to the other two wise guests from far away.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41OK.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Admit Ming Gow and party.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47There you are, Ming,

0:23:47 > 0:23:48for Up In The Moon any night you want to go.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Just ask for Fred Cooper.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52Oh, here it is.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53It's nothing very much,

0:23:53 > 0:23:55just a little medal.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's dedicated to St Michael, the archangel.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59He's my favourite saint.

0:23:59 > 0:24:00Will you take it, please?

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Thank you.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04St Michael? What's his specialty?

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Fighting...for God.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09He is a very gallant saint, Bill.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I will carry this

0:24:11 > 0:24:14and hope for that great success.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Goodnight, Ming Gow.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22And Merry Christmas, Ming Gow.

0:24:22 > 0:24:23Yes. Merry Christmas, Ming.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25Merry Christmas to you.

0:24:30 > 0:24:31Huh?

0:24:31 > 0:24:32Which way?

0:24:32 > 0:24:34The Iowa Hotel.

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Oh, around the corner.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38I'm at the Dexter.

0:24:40 > 0:24:41What time are you pulling out?

0:24:41 > 0:24:436:30.

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Are you going the other way?

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah. I go east - at 5:30.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's a mill train, but it's the only connection.

0:24:54 > 0:24:55What is it?

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Look.

0:24:58 > 0:24:59The stars.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Yes.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02There are a lot of them.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04One of them's mine.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Oh? Which one?

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Do you see over there,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10where the V-shaped cluster is?

0:25:10 > 0:25:11Yeah.

0:25:11 > 0:25:14Just to the right of it. The bright one.

0:25:14 > 0:25:15Oh, yeah. I see it.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17It's yours.

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yes.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20My father told me it appeared in the sky

0:25:20 > 0:25:22for the first time the night I was born.

0:25:22 > 0:25:24Could be.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27It's there to remind me every night

0:25:27 > 0:25:30of where I'm going.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Oh, I am being very silly.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35I won't see you again

0:25:35 > 0:25:37for a long time, maybe.

0:25:37 > 0:25:39Will you accept a Christmas present

0:25:39 > 0:25:41from a strange young lady?

0:25:44 > 0:25:47My star up there.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49I'll give you half of it.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52'Why didn't I say something?

0:25:52 > 0:25:54'But no, not a word.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56'Not even, where can I write you?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58'What's your route sheet?

0:25:58 > 0:26:00'I want to see you again.

0:26:00 > 0:26:01'Just old clam-mouth

0:26:01 > 0:26:03'walking along with his heart jumping

0:26:03 > 0:26:05'and never a word.

0:26:05 > 0:26:07'I got to start thinking, kid.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10'It can't end like this.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13'It can't end with Dunnigan the dummy staring at a box.'

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Didn't keep you waiting too long, I hope.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19You got everything fixed?

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yessiree, I had a big talk with Father Spinsky.

0:26:21 > 0:26:23We worked everything out fine.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25He's going to give you a solemn Requiem Mass.

0:26:25 > 0:26:27I got hold of a singer from Wilkes-Barre.

0:26:27 > 0:26:28She happened to be in town.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33Let's see, that'll be 30 bucks extra.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I figured a blanket of roses for the coffin,

0:26:36 > 0:26:39then I figured a wreath as a personal tribute from yourself.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43Altogether, the floral tributes will amount to 80 bucks.

0:26:43 > 0:26:44We mustn't forget the charge

0:26:44 > 0:26:46for the sexton of the church.

0:26:46 > 0:26:47Almost forgot that.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50You wouldn't want to forget any charges.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52I'll have to figure out a donation

0:26:52 > 0:26:54for Father Spinsky's church.

0:26:54 > 0:26:56Personally, I think 75 bucks will do it.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Not too much and not too little,

0:26:58 > 0:27:01which brings the total up to 350.

0:27:01 > 0:27:03350? That's a lot more than...

0:27:03 > 0:27:05That ain't much for a service at St Leo's.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08St Leo's? Is that where you made the arrangements?

0:27:08 > 0:27:10Yes, sir. The biggest church in town.

0:27:10 > 0:27:12But that's the wrong church.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15I wanted them made at St Michael's.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18Oh, no, no. You don't want St Michael's.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20You don't want your friend buried from there.

0:27:20 > 0:27:22It a broken-down old church.

0:27:22 > 0:27:23Nobody worthwhile goes there.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Father Spinsky's church is the only place.

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Mr Orloff, where is St Michael's?

0:27:29 > 0:27:31All right. I ain't worried.

0:27:31 > 0:27:34You ain't going to do business with Father Paul.

0:27:34 > 0:27:36He ain't got nothing to offer you.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38You'll be back.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40It's down at the end of the street,

0:27:40 > 0:27:41right across from the hotel.

0:27:41 > 0:27:42Thanks.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44Remember, Father Paul can't do nothing for you.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47He's got no connections in town, just miners.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17DOORBELL RINGS

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Come in.

0:28:27 > 0:28:29Are you Father Paul?

0:28:29 > 0:28:30Yes.

0:28:30 > 0:28:31My name's Bill Dunnigan.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33How do you do?

0:28:35 > 0:28:38I brought a friend of mine back to Coaltown - a girl.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41She wanted to be buried from your church.

0:28:41 > 0:28:42From St Michael's?

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Yes. She has a plot in your cemetery.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47It's already been paid for in full.

0:28:47 > 0:28:48What I want to do now

0:28:48 > 0:28:50is arrange for a church funeral.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53How much do you charge?

0:28:53 > 0:28:56Please sit down, Mr Dunnigan.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01Her Father was buried from your place

0:29:01 > 0:29:02five years ago.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05His name was Stan Truckee.

0:29:05 > 0:29:07That bill's unpaid.

0:29:07 > 0:29:08I'll take care of that

0:29:08 > 0:29:10up to any reasonable amount.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13I wasn't here five years ago.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15Did you bring this girl from somewhere out of town?

0:29:15 > 0:29:16From Hollywood.

0:29:16 > 0:29:17Hollywood?

0:29:17 > 0:29:19That's where they make the movies.

0:29:19 > 0:29:20Yes, I know.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Hollywood to St Michael's.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24That's rather strange.

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I understand there are certain charges,

0:29:26 > 0:29:28fees and so forth.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30If you'd give an estimate...

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Maybe I'd better tell you first.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35She wanted a few...extras.

0:29:35 > 0:29:36She wanted organ music,

0:29:36 > 0:29:39and she also wanted...

0:29:39 > 0:29:40six angels with wings

0:29:40 > 0:29:43to stand beside the coffin.

0:29:43 > 0:29:44The angels will be little girls.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47That's an old Polish custom.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49How much for the girls with wings and the organist?

0:29:49 > 0:29:53The children will be happy to serve without any fee.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Sometimes our organist receives 3.00,

0:29:56 > 0:29:57but this is a poor parish.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00She's used to not being paid.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Oh.

0:30:03 > 0:30:05How much for you?

0:30:05 > 0:30:06For me?

0:30:06 > 0:30:09I, too, am used to not being paid,

0:30:09 > 0:30:13and I'd rather not break the precedent.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15I am very proud

0:30:15 > 0:30:16that this girl wanted to be buried

0:30:16 > 0:30:18from my church.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21To a humble priest, that's a great satisfaction,

0:30:21 > 0:30:23and it is fee enough.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26Please, put that away, Mr Dunnigan.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'm sorry, Father.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33I came in here like a sorehead.

0:30:33 > 0:30:35It was just that...

0:30:35 > 0:30:37Well, it's a pleasure to run into a human being

0:30:37 > 0:30:39in Coaltown or anywhere.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43I was beginning to think the world had run out of them.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46Look, Father, I might as well lay it on the line.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48Ever hear of poverty?

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Yes, an old friend of St Michael's.

0:30:52 > 0:30:53I'm down to 300

0:30:53 > 0:30:56and with no visible means of support at the moment.

0:30:56 > 0:30:58I've made millions for people I've worked for.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59A press agent can do that.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01I never got around to making myself rich.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03I never wanted to be a millionaire.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05I just wanted to live like one.

0:31:05 > 0:31:08That'll keep you poor, you know.

0:31:08 > 0:31:10Father, I hate the thought of her being in Orloff's place.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13That's a little rough even on a brave kid like Olga.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16Could we have her brought here to your church?

0:31:16 > 0:31:18Certainly. She belongs here.

0:31:18 > 0:31:19She'll like that.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23I mean, she would've liked that.

0:31:23 > 0:31:25That's the whole trouble with this trip,

0:31:25 > 0:31:28all these arrangements about the funeral.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30To me she isn't dead.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32It's as if she were here

0:31:32 > 0:31:35and we were doing all this together.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37Oh, I don't mean that I see her

0:31:37 > 0:31:39or anything like that.

0:31:39 > 0:31:40I mean...

0:31:40 > 0:31:42I know what you mean.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47Hello?

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Hello, this is Father Paul.

0:31:49 > 0:31:50Hello, Hattie.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52Would you get me Nick Orloff?

0:31:52 > 0:31:54Yes. Thank you.

0:31:54 > 0:31:59Telephoning in Coaltown is sort of different.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03Mr Orloff, this is Father Paul speaking.

0:32:03 > 0:32:07Yes. Yes, I know. He's - he's here now.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09I've called to tell you to bring the body

0:32:09 > 0:32:10of Stan Truckee's daughter

0:32:10 > 0:32:13to St Michael's immediately.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Not tomorrow, Mr Orloff.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18Immediately. Now. Right away.

0:32:18 > 0:32:22You're a greedy and stupid man, Mr Orloff.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25No, I'm not afraid of you and all your friends.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Bring the girl here immediately

0:32:27 > 0:32:29without any further discussion.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31Goodbye.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34You can be tough when you have to.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36You didn't look it.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39My adviser, Michael the archangel.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Oh, yes. I've heard of him.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43He had to be, as you say, tough.

0:32:43 > 0:32:46Mr Orloff will be here in half an hour.

0:32:46 > 0:32:48Thank you, Father.

0:32:48 > 0:32:49I'm probably taking up your time.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51I'll wait in the church.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53No, please. Wait here.

0:32:53 > 0:32:55Talk to me about Olga.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58I can see you loved her very much.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00You can, huh?

0:33:00 > 0:33:02Are you sure I won't bore you?

0:33:02 > 0:33:05No. Come, Mr Dunnigan.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07I'd like to hear what's in your heart.

0:33:14 > 0:33:15I only met Olga twice

0:33:15 > 0:33:18before I took a job on the coast.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20I'd become tired of hopping around

0:33:20 > 0:33:21peddling a road company

0:33:21 > 0:33:24to a lot of antitheatrical towns,

0:33:24 > 0:33:26so I figured on settling down

0:33:26 > 0:33:28in the lotus land of Hollywood.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30And I get me a job as personal drumbeater

0:33:30 > 0:33:32for the great Marcus Harris.

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Marcus Harris?

0:33:34 > 0:33:37You've never heard of him?

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Well, Marcus Harris is one of the greatest

0:33:39 > 0:33:42motion picture producers in America,

0:33:42 > 0:33:44who at the moment was giving birth

0:33:44 > 0:33:46to his greatest production,

0:33:46 > 0:33:49a 3 million epic called Joan Of Arc.

0:33:49 > 0:33:50Now, gentlemen,

0:33:50 > 0:33:53I want this trouble with Anna Klovna settled.

0:33:53 > 0:33:55I don't want to have a fight going on.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57Hard enough to make pictures without fights.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00It's Miss Klovna who's doing all the fighting.

0:34:00 > 0:34:01Where's Dunnigan?

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Why isn't he here, Miss Mulhauser?

0:34:03 > 0:34:05He's on his way, Mr Harris.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07Thank you very much.

0:34:10 > 0:34:13I sent for you an hour ago.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well, here I am, chief.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20Whenever he's late, I get promoted to chief.

0:34:20 > 0:34:21Bill, we're in trouble.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Yeah, I heard rumours.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25Uh, Miss Klovna is playing nasty again.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28Let's not call anybody any names.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31I've got a million dollars invested in Miss Klovna,

0:34:31 > 0:34:34so I would like to think she isn't nasty,

0:34:34 > 0:34:36just a little nervous.

0:34:36 > 0:34:40I'm assigning you the job of handling Miss Klovna.

0:34:40 > 0:34:41Thanks very much,

0:34:41 > 0:34:45but I don't think that'll solve any problems.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47I'm asking this as a favour.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Two days after she landed in this country,

0:34:49 > 0:34:51you got her the keys to the city of New York,

0:34:51 > 0:34:53arranged a parade in her honour,

0:34:53 > 0:34:56kept her picture in the papers for 55 days.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58Have another.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00She'll listen to you and nobody else.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02I don't know, Marcus.

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Fame is very bad for some people.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06It goes to their heads.

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Come on, gentlemen, we'll go with Mr Dunnigan

0:35:08 > 0:35:10and give him all the help we can.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18With all the respect in the world, Miss Klovna...

0:35:18 > 0:35:20Respect? That is what you do not give me.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22I have played Joan in Europe.

0:35:22 > 0:35:25Shaw's Joan. Schiller's Joan.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26What have I to learn from you?

0:35:26 > 0:35:28That was the stage. This is the movies.

0:35:28 > 0:35:30Hello. What's all the fireworks?

0:35:30 > 0:35:31Oh, Mr Dunnigan!

0:35:31 > 0:35:34This imbecile is trying to tell me how to act Joan.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38Me! He wants me to get here before I'm awake - to rehearse.

0:35:38 > 0:35:39He needs rehearsal, not me.

0:35:39 > 0:35:42Relax. Be yourself. You're a great artist.

0:35:42 > 0:35:43Don't act like a two-year-old.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46Then I want to be treated like a great artist.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49I don't want to be screamed at like a servant girl.

0:35:49 > 0:35:50A little late?

0:35:50 > 0:35:54Two hours late every morning this week!

0:35:54 > 0:35:56A full crew and 300 extras,

0:35:56 > 0:35:58standing around waiting for her nibs.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00They are waiting, eh? Who cares?

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Let's talk it over in your dressing room.

0:36:02 > 0:36:07He tells me it costs Mr Marcus Harris 10,000 because I'm late.

0:36:07 > 0:36:11What do I care how much money it costs that stupid upstart?

0:36:11 > 0:36:13The only education he has is vending from a pushcart.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16No ignorant peasant can give orders to Anna Klovna.

0:36:16 > 0:36:18We don't talk like that in America.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22No. All you talk in America is money, money, money!

0:36:22 > 0:36:24What do you know about art in America,

0:36:24 > 0:36:27you and your Marcus Harris?

0:36:27 > 0:36:30Oh, I spit on you both.

0:36:30 > 0:36:32I'm finished!

0:36:32 > 0:36:33I quit!

0:36:33 > 0:36:35I go back to the theatre!

0:36:35 > 0:36:37No more here! No more!

0:36:37 > 0:36:39You ought to have some sense knocked into you.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41Enough, Mr Dunnigan. I'll talk to Miss Klovna.

0:36:41 > 0:36:43You can't make me do anything,

0:36:43 > 0:36:46you and all your money.

0:36:46 > 0:36:48I don't want you to do anything.

0:36:48 > 0:36:49You can quit.

0:36:49 > 0:36:51I'm sorry you don't like me, Miss Klovna,

0:36:51 > 0:36:54but that's all right.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57I'm sorry you don't like America.

0:36:57 > 0:36:59That isn't all right.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03So many people from your country have learned to love America.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06It's too bad you couldn't see something nice

0:37:06 > 0:37:08in such a wonderful place.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13We'll pay Miss Klovna off in full and shelve the picture.

0:37:13 > 0:37:16Send out a notice that Anna Klovna's had a...nervous breakdown

0:37:16 > 0:37:18and won't be able to finish the picture.

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Oh! Oh!

0:37:24 > 0:37:27Well, you surely called her bluff, Marcus.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30She'll be back in half an hour ready to play marbles.

0:37:30 > 0:37:31I don't want her back.

0:37:31 > 0:37:33I like this country.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35I won't work with anyone who doesn't like it.

0:37:35 > 0:37:36We'll get somebody else.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38Klovna isn't the only actress in the world.

0:37:38 > 0:37:40There's nobody else available who can play Joan of Arc,

0:37:40 > 0:37:44at least nobody who's available for some time.

0:37:44 > 0:37:45Not a very nice woman, Miss Klovna,

0:37:45 > 0:37:47but she's a great talent.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50She was made for the part of Joan.

0:37:50 > 0:37:51Well, that's too bad.

0:37:51 > 0:37:53I'm shelving the picture.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56I'll see you in my office, Mr Dolan.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58Ladies and gentlemen,

0:37:58 > 0:38:00I'm sorry this has happened.

0:38:00 > 0:38:03Maybe next time we'll have better luck.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04Thank you.

0:38:04 > 0:38:06Wrap it up, boys!

0:38:18 > 0:38:20Mr Dunnigan!

0:38:22 > 0:38:24Mr Dunnigan!

0:38:24 > 0:38:25Bill!

0:38:25 > 0:38:27Holy ike! Am I dreaming?

0:38:27 > 0:38:28Hello, Bill.

0:38:28 > 0:38:30Olga, look at you.

0:38:30 > 0:38:32Don't tell me you're in pictures.

0:38:32 > 0:38:34I was. I lost my job.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36I was a stand-in for Anna Klovna.

0:38:36 > 0:38:38No more Anna Klovna, no more job,

0:38:38 > 0:38:40at least for the moment.

0:38:40 > 0:38:42I didn't know you were working for Mr Harris.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44I nearly fell over when I saw you.

0:38:44 > 0:38:46Let's get out of here.

0:38:46 > 0:38:47Pardon me.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52So you're a stand-in, huh?

0:38:52 > 0:38:54Not much of a job

0:38:54 > 0:38:57for a foolish young lady who dreamed of being a star.

0:38:57 > 0:38:58You quit dreaming, huh?

0:38:58 > 0:38:59No, I haven't,

0:38:59 > 0:39:02only it's taking longer than I thought.

0:39:02 > 0:39:06You know, it makes me happy just to look at you.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08I've got to go hold Marcus' hand for a while.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10Where would you like to go for dinner?

0:39:10 > 0:39:13Bill, let me cook dinner for you.

0:39:13 > 0:39:15I've got a sort of apartment with a stove,

0:39:15 > 0:39:17and I've been dying to have a guest.

0:39:17 > 0:39:18No guests?

0:39:18 > 0:39:19No.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21I'm glad.

0:39:21 > 0:39:22What's the address?

0:39:22 > 0:39:241461 Curson Avenue.

0:39:24 > 0:39:25It's over a garage.

0:39:25 > 0:39:271461. I'll be there.

0:39:27 > 0:39:29I have to go home and change.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32Will it be all right if I get there about 7:00?

0:39:36 > 0:39:37More coffee?

0:39:37 > 0:39:38Oh, no, thanks.

0:39:38 > 0:39:40Won't you finish the pie?

0:39:40 > 0:39:41I couldn't handle it.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43I've had three big pieces

0:39:43 > 0:39:44and two pounds of goulash.

0:39:44 > 0:39:46Have a heart, will you?

0:39:51 > 0:39:55You know, it's a very cute layout.

0:39:55 > 0:39:56Restful.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58I was lucky to get it.

0:39:58 > 0:39:59Come furnished?

0:39:59 > 0:40:00Oh, yes.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02I painted the floor myself.

0:40:02 > 0:40:03Oh?

0:40:03 > 0:40:04Oh.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07I think it's just as good as a carpet.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09Oh, sure.

0:40:09 > 0:40:10Better.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13Thanks.

0:40:15 > 0:40:17HE SIGHS

0:40:17 > 0:40:19Well, baby,

0:40:19 > 0:40:21now tell me the rest of it.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29There isn't any rest of it.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32I kept going round and round the studios,

0:40:32 > 0:40:34and sometimes they said, "Come back,"

0:40:34 > 0:40:38and sometimes they said, "Don't come back."

0:40:38 > 0:40:40But whatever they said,

0:40:40 > 0:40:43it always ended the same way -

0:40:43 > 0:40:46no job for a new young movie star.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48So I tried to get an agent

0:40:48 > 0:40:50because the girls I met all told me,

0:40:50 > 0:40:54"Olga, you cannot become a star without an agent."

0:40:54 > 0:40:58So I started going round and round the agencies.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00I sang for them,

0:41:00 > 0:41:02I acted for them,

0:41:02 > 0:41:04I even danced for them...

0:41:04 > 0:41:07and ended up without an agent.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13Imagine. Olga Treskovna without an agent.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16Bill, you are not listening.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18I'm listening, baby.

0:41:18 > 0:41:20I'm listening to a lot of things.

0:41:20 > 0:41:23What's the matter, Bill, did the pie upset you?

0:41:23 > 0:41:25No, no, no, I'm just thinking.

0:41:30 > 0:41:31Can you act?

0:41:31 > 0:41:32Who, me?

0:41:32 > 0:41:33Who else would I mean?

0:41:33 > 0:41:35You know I can act.

0:41:35 > 0:41:36How do I know?

0:41:36 > 0:41:37I told you.

0:41:37 > 0:41:38Oh, yeah. So you did.

0:41:38 > 0:41:40I'm much better now.

0:41:40 > 0:41:44I spend all my spare time reading plays, learning parts.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Juliet and Meg Wiley. Elizabeth Barrett.

0:41:47 > 0:41:48You're better-looking than she is.

0:41:48 > 0:41:49Who?

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Anna Klovna. You're younger, prettier.

0:41:51 > 0:41:52You got more heart.

0:41:52 > 0:41:54What are you talking about?

0:41:54 > 0:41:56Take it easy, baby. I'm incubating.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01Bill, you don't mean Joan Of Arc?

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Never mind what I mean.

0:42:03 > 0:42:04Let me see you act.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07Mr Harris would never hire a stand-in for a star.

0:42:07 > 0:42:08Never mind.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Do you know any scenes from the script?

0:42:11 > 0:42:12Bill, I know the whole script.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15I just want one scene, one big scene.

0:42:15 > 0:42:16When?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18Right now.

0:42:18 > 0:42:19We've got to move quick.

0:42:19 > 0:42:20It's one of those things.

0:42:22 > 0:42:23All right. You ready?

0:42:23 > 0:42:25Yes.

0:42:25 > 0:42:26OK, now, come on.

0:42:26 > 0:42:28The camera's rolling. You're on.

0:42:28 > 0:42:30Action!

0:42:32 > 0:42:35It's the scene when she comes into the courtroom

0:42:35 > 0:42:37in the castle of Rouen

0:42:37 > 0:42:39for the first time.

0:42:40 > 0:42:44They've brought her up from the dungeon...

0:42:44 > 0:42:47and she walks down the hallway

0:42:47 > 0:42:51with her chains hanging from her.

0:42:52 > 0:42:58Then the doors of the courtroom open.

0:43:03 > 0:43:08She sees all the great English aristocrats

0:43:08 > 0:43:11and all the great philosophers

0:43:11 > 0:43:14and doctors of theology.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19They sit in a circle above her,

0:43:19 > 0:43:23all those stone faces.

0:43:25 > 0:43:26They're here in the courtroom

0:43:26 > 0:43:28to make her confess she is a liar

0:43:28 > 0:43:31and a blasphemer

0:43:31 > 0:43:33and that the voices she has listened to

0:43:33 > 0:43:37come from the devil and not from God,

0:43:37 > 0:43:40because if they can make her say that,

0:43:40 > 0:43:43then her name would be fouled and ruined.

0:43:45 > 0:43:49The French have only one weapon left -

0:43:49 > 0:43:51the name of Joan of Arc

0:43:51 > 0:43:55and the belief that God is helping them through her.

0:43:57 > 0:44:01Cauchon, the bishop in charge of the trial, speaks.

0:44:03 > 0:44:07Do you consider yourself in a state of grace?

0:44:10 > 0:44:12If I am not,

0:44:12 > 0:44:15I hope God will put me there.

0:44:17 > 0:44:18And if I am,

0:44:18 > 0:44:21I hope he'll keep me there.

0:44:24 > 0:44:28We want you to speak the truth.

0:44:28 > 0:44:32Truth is a sacred gift from God.

0:44:32 > 0:44:34Do you believe that?

0:44:34 > 0:44:36Yes...

0:44:37 > 0:44:39but people have been hanged

0:44:39 > 0:44:41for speaking it.

0:44:41 > 0:44:44Why did Satan first command you

0:44:44 > 0:44:47to slay the English?

0:44:47 > 0:44:49The voices of my saints

0:44:49 > 0:44:52commanded me to fight for France.

0:44:55 > 0:44:57You went into battle.

0:44:57 > 0:44:58I led the battle!

0:44:58 > 0:45:02You were present when English blood was shed!

0:45:02 > 0:45:06Yes! And what were the English doing on the soil of France?

0:45:06 > 0:45:09Why didn't they keep their blood at home

0:45:09 > 0:45:11where French swords couldn't spill it?

0:45:16 > 0:45:18No...

0:45:18 > 0:45:21whatever you do to me...

0:45:21 > 0:45:24I will not say what isn't true.

0:45:27 > 0:45:30And the truth is...

0:45:30 > 0:45:32I am a peasant girl,

0:45:32 > 0:45:37and I love my mother and father and my brothers.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39And I would have stayed in Domremy

0:45:39 > 0:45:45and cooked and sewed and tended the sheep...

0:45:45 > 0:45:48but God spoke to me,

0:45:48 > 0:45:52through his angel Michael,

0:45:52 > 0:45:55and he told me to go out into the world

0:45:55 > 0:45:57and help my people.

0:45:59 > 0:46:01I went...

0:46:01 > 0:46:04and I fought...

0:46:04 > 0:46:06and if I escape from here,

0:46:06 > 0:46:09I will continue to fight for them.

0:46:12 > 0:46:14And if I do not escape

0:46:14 > 0:46:18and you burn me for what I've done...

0:46:21 > 0:46:25..I will kneel in the fire

0:46:25 > 0:46:27and give God my thanks

0:46:27 > 0:46:30for his kindness to me

0:46:30 > 0:46:32and my people.

0:46:41 > 0:46:42OK.

0:46:45 > 0:46:46OK, baby, sit down.

0:46:46 > 0:46:48Where's the phone? Oh.

0:46:54 > 0:46:56Was it all right?

0:46:56 > 0:46:58Yeah, yeah.

0:47:04 > 0:47:05Hello. Mr Harris, please.

0:47:05 > 0:47:07Bill Dunnigan calling.

0:47:07 > 0:47:08Yes, will you, please?

0:47:08 > 0:47:10Bill.

0:47:10 > 0:47:11Shh.

0:47:11 > 0:47:13Hello, Marcus. Bill Dunnigan.

0:47:13 > 0:47:15I've got some very important news.

0:47:15 > 0:47:16Hang on to your hat.

0:47:16 > 0:47:18All right. Hang on to your pyjamas, then.

0:47:18 > 0:47:20You don't have to shelve the picture.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Just keep listening, will you?

0:47:22 > 0:47:25I found another Anna Klovna, plus.

0:47:25 > 0:47:28Would I call you up if I were kidding?

0:47:28 > 0:47:31She's young, beautiful, completely unknown.

0:47:31 > 0:47:32Can she act?

0:47:32 > 0:47:34Can Heifetz fiddle? Can Joe Louis fight?

0:47:34 > 0:47:36I'm telling you, this is it.

0:47:36 > 0:47:40I want her tested first thing in the morning.

0:47:40 > 0:47:42Give me your OK and I'll set everything up.

0:47:42 > 0:47:45Sure, sure. I've got her all tied up.

0:47:45 > 0:47:47Nobody'll get to her before you see the test.

0:47:47 > 0:47:50I give you my solemn word of honour.

0:47:50 > 0:47:53I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.

0:47:53 > 0:47:54Bill.

0:47:54 > 0:47:55Relax, baby.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57I'm going to explode.

0:47:57 > 0:47:58You're going to bed.

0:47:58 > 0:48:01It's like the time I heard you in the dark

0:48:01 > 0:48:04saying, "Give the kid a break."

0:48:04 > 0:48:07I don't know why I deserve anybody like you.

0:48:07 > 0:48:09I've got to talk Dolan into making the test.

0:48:09 > 0:48:11We don't want it made by some stooge.

0:48:11 > 0:48:16And you're going to bed right now and sleep.

0:48:16 > 0:48:18You didn't tell him who I really am.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20We'll come to that jump tomorrow.

0:48:20 > 0:48:21How can I ever repay you?

0:48:21 > 0:48:23By knocking 'em dead, baby.

0:48:25 > 0:48:27Tomorrow's the big day.

0:48:27 > 0:48:29Not as big as now.

0:48:29 > 0:48:31Oh, Bill.

0:48:32 > 0:48:34Thanks.

0:48:39 > 0:48:42No, they don't have to worry which side to photograph.

0:48:42 > 0:48:43They're both perfect.

0:48:43 > 0:48:46And those eyes.

0:48:46 > 0:48:47All right, baby, I want you fresh

0:48:47 > 0:48:50when you play that big scene for the camera tomorrow.

0:48:50 > 0:48:51Goodnight.

0:48:56 > 0:48:57Goodnight.

0:48:57 > 0:48:58Now, don't worry about anything.

0:48:58 > 0:49:00I'll take care of wardrobe and notify make-up.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03See you on the barricades at dawn, baby.

0:49:15 > 0:49:16Somebody's crazy.

0:49:16 > 0:49:17It isn't I, it's you.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20You're the craziest man I've had here.

0:49:20 > 0:49:21Will you listen to me?

0:49:21 > 0:49:23I'm listening and hearing a lunatic.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25How can you ask me to spend 3 million

0:49:25 > 0:49:27on somebody called Olga Trestoogy...

0:49:27 > 0:49:28Treskovna.

0:49:28 > 0:49:29A girl who's never acted,

0:49:29 > 0:49:31a burlesque girl.

0:49:31 > 0:49:32Joan of Arc.

0:49:32 > 0:49:34You're a nice guy.

0:49:34 > 0:49:36I don't want to get sore.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38He doesn't want to get sore.

0:49:38 > 0:49:41You don't have to test Olga Treskovna.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42You don't have to hire her,

0:49:42 > 0:49:44but you're going to know this.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46She's better than any star you ever wanted.

0:49:46 > 0:49:48Not only her acting,

0:49:48 > 0:49:49it's what's inside her.

0:49:49 > 0:49:52It's something you don't see in the world often.

0:49:52 > 0:49:54Don't test it, don't buy it,

0:49:54 > 0:49:55but take your hat off to it.

0:49:55 > 0:49:58INTERCOM BUZZES

0:49:58 > 0:49:59What is it?

0:49:59 > 0:50:01Miss Olga Treskovna is here.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05Tell her to come in.

0:50:20 > 0:50:22Olga Treskovna,

0:50:22 > 0:50:23Mr Marcus Harris.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26How do you do, Mr Harris?

0:50:30 > 0:50:32I always wanted to come through that door

0:50:32 > 0:50:34and stand here in a lovely costume

0:50:34 > 0:50:37and say, "How do you do, Mr Harris?"

0:50:46 > 0:50:48Mr Dolan,

0:50:48 > 0:50:51you will please make a test of Miss Treskovna

0:50:51 > 0:50:54for the leading part in our picture.

0:51:01 > 0:51:03And good luck.

0:51:03 > 0:51:05Thank you.

0:51:05 > 0:51:07Well, the test was great.

0:51:07 > 0:51:09We started shooting three days later,

0:51:09 > 0:51:10and she was even better.

0:51:10 > 0:51:13We were all set and away.

0:51:13 > 0:51:15She had a special dressing room,

0:51:15 > 0:51:16special studio car,

0:51:16 > 0:51:18and everybody raving about her.

0:51:18 > 0:51:21No gags. Real raves.

0:51:21 > 0:51:23I'll tell you, Father,

0:51:23 > 0:51:25you've never seen a dream come true like this one.

0:51:25 > 0:51:26Sounds wonderful.

0:51:26 > 0:51:28DOORBELL RINGS

0:51:30 > 0:51:32I think that's Mr Orloff.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37Come in, please.

0:51:39 > 0:51:41Where do you want the box?

0:51:41 > 0:51:44Would you carry it into the church?

0:51:44 > 0:51:47I got it uncrated for you.

0:51:47 > 0:51:49Yes, you may keep the lumber, Mr Orloff.

0:51:49 > 0:51:51That don't pay me.

0:51:51 > 0:51:53There's an extra charge -

0:51:53 > 0:51:555 bucks.

0:51:59 > 0:52:00There you are.

0:52:00 > 0:52:02Now beat it.

0:52:02 > 0:52:04You're going to hear from Father Spinsky.

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Yes, sir.

0:52:10 > 0:52:12I hope this isn't causing you any trouble, Father.

0:52:12 > 0:52:14Oh, no.

0:52:14 > 0:52:16Father Spinsky is a man of God

0:52:16 > 0:52:18with a rather expensive church to keep up,

0:52:18 > 0:52:21and I'm sure he'll understand the situation

0:52:21 > 0:52:22when I explain it.

0:52:23 > 0:52:25It's time for the evening services.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27Would you care to come with me?

0:52:27 > 0:52:29In church? Oh, I don't know, Father.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31Please, come and see her there.

0:52:35 > 0:52:38I wouldn't worry about Mr Orloff's revenge, Mr Dunnigan.

0:52:38 > 0:52:41There isn't anything that anyone can do to St Michael's

0:52:41 > 0:52:45that the wind, rain, and coal dust haven't already done.

0:53:05 > 0:53:07Not much of a house.

0:53:07 > 0:53:09We're fixing the leaks in the roof.

0:53:09 > 0:53:10Oh, I didn't mean that.

0:53:10 > 0:53:12I mean nobody out front.

0:53:12 > 0:53:14You know, attending.

0:53:14 > 0:53:15Is this an off night?

0:53:15 > 0:53:19No. We hardly ever have more than a dozen or so.

0:53:19 > 0:53:23The men are tired when they come out of the mines.

0:53:23 > 0:53:27The women also work very hard here in Coaltown.

0:53:27 > 0:53:28It seems they're almost too tired

0:53:28 > 0:53:30to come to God.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35Those statues look rather lonely, don't they?

0:53:35 > 0:53:37Say, isn't that our boy up there?

0:53:37 > 0:53:39Yes, St Michael the archangel.

0:53:39 > 0:53:41I thought so.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47It's a shame, a house like this.

0:53:47 > 0:53:51I think your church needs a press agent, Father.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53God doesn't need a press agent.

0:53:53 > 0:53:55I'm not so sure.

0:53:55 > 0:53:56Once upon a time,

0:53:56 > 0:53:58he had 12 very good press agents.

0:53:58 > 0:54:00Top men.

0:54:00 > 0:54:04My, I never thought of the apostles as press agents.

0:54:04 > 0:54:05What else were they?

0:54:05 > 0:54:07They sold the biggest story that ever happened

0:54:07 > 0:54:08to a whole world -

0:54:08 > 0:54:10and without the benefit of newspapers and radio.

0:54:10 > 0:54:12Terrific job.

0:54:12 > 0:54:16Oh, yes, terrific job.

0:54:16 > 0:54:17You'll stay for the services?

0:54:17 > 0:54:21Oh, I don't think so, Father.

0:54:21 > 0:54:23I guess I haven't been inside a church

0:54:23 > 0:54:25since my mother stopped taking me.

0:54:25 > 0:54:27She died when I was seven.

0:54:28 > 0:54:30She was a Protestant.

0:54:30 > 0:54:32You won't change your mind and stay,

0:54:32 > 0:54:33as a Protestant?

0:54:33 > 0:54:37No. I'll drop in some other time.

0:54:37 > 0:54:38I'll see you tomorrow.

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Yeah.

0:54:50 > 0:54:51Goodnight, kid.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57Olga used to talk to me about these hills.

0:54:57 > 0:55:00"Mountains covered with flowers", she called them.

0:55:03 > 0:55:06Coaltown doesn't look so bad from here.

0:55:06 > 0:55:09The coal dust doesn't blow up here.

0:55:09 > 0:55:11The flowers are always clean.

0:55:11 > 0:55:14If I had to live down there,

0:55:14 > 0:55:15I think I'd welcome coming up here

0:55:15 > 0:55:18for a good long sleep.

0:55:18 > 0:55:20Perhaps most of them do.

0:55:20 > 0:55:22SINGING IN POLISH

0:55:32 > 0:55:34Good morning.

0:55:34 > 0:55:35Good morning, Father.

0:55:38 > 0:55:40HE HUMS THE POLISH SONG

0:55:43 > 0:55:45You know that song?

0:55:45 > 0:55:48Yes. Olga sang it for me once.

0:55:48 > 0:55:50She said it was about coming home

0:55:50 > 0:55:52after you've been away for a long time.

0:55:52 > 0:55:57Yes. It's a sort of a Polish "Home, Sweet Home".

0:55:57 > 0:55:59It has an English translation, too.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04# Ever homeward

0:56:04 > 0:56:07# Ever homeward

0:56:07 > 0:56:11# Yearns the weary rover

0:56:11 > 0:56:14# Ever homeward

0:56:14 > 0:56:17# Ever homeward

0:56:17 > 0:56:22# Till the journey's over

0:56:22 > 0:56:27# Warm embraces, friendly faces

0:56:27 > 0:56:31# Sing welcome home

0:56:31 > 0:56:33# Let me lie there

0:56:33 > 0:56:36# 'Neath the sky there

0:56:36 > 0:56:41# Nevermore to roam

0:56:41 > 0:56:44# Ever homeward

0:56:44 > 0:56:47# Ever homeward

0:56:47 > 0:56:52# Yearns the weary rover

0:56:52 > 0:56:55# Ever homeward

0:56:55 > 0:56:58# Ever homeward

0:56:58 > 0:57:05# Now the journey's over. #

0:57:05 > 0:57:06Thank you, Father.

0:57:06 > 0:57:10That song makes Coaltown seem different somehow.

0:57:10 > 0:57:11When you're up here,

0:57:11 > 0:57:14you can understand Coaltown.

0:57:14 > 0:57:16You realise that the sins of the poor

0:57:16 > 0:57:17are mostly in their poverty,

0:57:17 > 0:57:20not in themselves.

0:57:20 > 0:57:23My own small troubles seem very unimportant,

0:57:23 > 0:57:25my failures insignificant.

0:57:25 > 0:57:27Your failures, Father?

0:57:27 > 0:57:28Oh, yes.

0:57:28 > 0:57:30When I was ordained,

0:57:30 > 0:57:34I came here filled with the zeal and confidence of a crusader.

0:57:34 > 0:57:37St Michael and I would form a partnership

0:57:37 > 0:57:40and make over Coaltown,

0:57:40 > 0:57:42but I had forgotten that the first lesson

0:57:42 > 0:57:46a young student learns in a seminary is humility.

0:57:46 > 0:57:48Tell me more about Olga.

0:57:48 > 0:57:51I asked a friend if she had heard of Olga Treskovna,

0:57:51 > 0:57:52the movie actress.

0:57:52 > 0:57:54She said she hadn't.

0:57:54 > 0:57:58I told her she was very famous.

0:57:58 > 0:58:01They wouldn't let her become famous.

0:58:01 > 0:58:03But you said she was very successful.

0:58:03 > 0:58:05No, not that way.

0:58:05 > 0:58:07She was great, but no-one will ever know it.

0:58:07 > 0:58:10A new star, but no-one will ever see her.

0:58:10 > 0:58:12Well, what happened, Mr Dunnigan?

0:58:12 > 0:58:14You don't know Hollywood, do you, Father?

0:58:14 > 0:58:17Only from what I've seen in pictures.

0:58:17 > 0:58:18I'll tell you.

0:58:18 > 0:58:20Maybe I'll get an idea if I talk.

0:58:20 > 0:58:21You got time?

0:58:21 > 0:58:22Oh, yes.

0:58:22 > 0:58:24Well, Marcus tripled her take

0:58:24 > 0:58:25after two weeks of shooting.

0:58:25 > 0:58:26That's how good she was.

0:58:26 > 0:58:29Tore up her contract.

0:58:29 > 0:58:31But she never changed.

0:58:31 > 0:58:35It's quite a thing to jump from nowhere into stardom.

0:58:35 > 0:58:37One day nobody's talking to you,

0:58:37 > 0:58:39the next day there's a world at your feet.

0:58:39 > 0:58:41'She was hounded by reporters,

0:58:41 > 0:58:43'interviewers, columnists.

0:58:43 > 0:58:45'Helped along by me, of course.

0:58:45 > 0:58:47'She was a natural for publicity.

0:58:47 > 0:58:50'A real Cinderella story.

0:58:50 > 0:58:52'And all the time she was getting thinner

0:58:52 > 0:58:53'and more tired,

0:58:53 > 0:58:55'but she'd been working very hard,

0:58:55 > 0:58:57'and I thought it was just that.

0:58:57 > 0:58:58'I was too blind

0:58:58 > 0:59:00'to even suspect anything more serious

0:59:00 > 0:59:02'until one day in her dressing room...'

0:59:02 > 0:59:04See you soon. Bye-bye.

0:59:04 > 0:59:06Help me out of this.

0:59:06 > 0:59:08It weighs a tonne.

0:59:08 > 0:59:10Oh, what a day.

0:59:10 > 0:59:12What a lovely, lovely day.

0:59:12 > 0:59:14I've never worked so hard in all my life.

0:59:14 > 0:59:16Dolan's a regular slave-driver,

0:59:16 > 0:59:18but I love him for it.

0:59:18 > 0:59:22Oh, I feel as light as air.

0:59:22 > 0:59:25Does she have a temperature?

0:59:25 > 0:59:26She's awfully hot.

0:59:26 > 0:59:28You would be, too, under those lights

0:59:28 > 0:59:31with all this armour on.

0:59:32 > 0:59:34Let's have a wonderful party, Bill,

0:59:34 > 0:59:36when the picture's over.

0:59:36 > 0:59:38Yeah, we'll do that.

0:59:38 > 0:59:40Poor serious Bill.

0:59:40 > 0:59:42He is so terribly serious.

0:59:42 > 0:59:44He doesn't know how gay life can be,

0:59:44 > 0:59:46how wonderful it...

0:59:46 > 0:59:48SHE COUGHS

0:59:48 > 0:59:51Get me that bottle, Mr Dunnigan.

1:00:00 > 1:00:01Here, dear. Take this.

1:00:07 > 1:00:09It's just some cough medicine

1:00:09 > 1:00:11Dr Jennings has given me.

1:00:11 > 1:00:13Dr Jennings?

1:00:13 > 1:00:15I've been using my voice so much lately -

1:00:15 > 1:00:17all those long speeches -

1:00:17 > 1:00:1810, 11 takes.

1:00:18 > 1:00:20By the way, Miss Olga,

1:00:20 > 1:00:21the doctor's office phoned.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24He wants you to come in after work.

1:00:24 > 1:00:25He'll wait for you.

1:00:25 > 1:00:26Yes, I'll go.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28I told him you would.

1:00:28 > 1:00:30Just think, Bill -

1:00:30 > 1:00:33three more days, and the picture will be finished.

1:00:33 > 1:00:35As soon as it's finished,

1:00:35 > 1:00:37you're going down to Palm Springs for a rest.

1:00:37 > 1:00:39I'll arrange for a bungalow.

1:00:39 > 1:00:41That would be wonderful, Bill.

1:00:41 > 1:00:43You look so tired, you frighten me.

1:00:45 > 1:00:48I don't see patients without appointments,

1:00:48 > 1:00:49but my nurse tells me this is an emergency.

1:00:49 > 1:00:52Maybe it is.

1:00:52 > 1:00:55Doctor, I want to know what's wrong with Olga Treskovna.

1:00:55 > 1:00:57I don't discuss my patients with strangers.

1:00:57 > 1:01:00I'm not a stranger.

1:01:00 > 1:01:01Is your name Dunnigan?

1:01:01 > 1:01:03Yeah. How did you know?

1:01:03 > 1:01:05I asked her as a matter of routine

1:01:05 > 1:01:07her next of kin.

1:01:07 > 1:01:10She filled in the name of William Dunnigan.

1:01:12 > 1:01:16How sick is she, Doctor?

1:01:16 > 1:01:18She's a very sick girl, Mr Dunnigan.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20She has been for a long time.

1:01:20 > 1:01:22Coal dust weakened her lungs as a child.

1:01:22 > 1:01:24We call that anthracosis.

1:01:24 > 1:01:26It isn't always serious if we get it in time.

1:01:26 > 1:01:27I see.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30But Olga has developed tuberculosis.

1:01:30 > 1:01:32Her X-rays are pretty bad.

1:01:32 > 1:01:35She needs what we call surgical rest.

1:01:35 > 1:01:40She should have had this supervised rest a long time ago.

1:01:40 > 1:01:42If we could send her to a sanitarium...

1:01:42 > 1:01:45I tried to persuade her to,

1:01:45 > 1:01:48but something seems to be driving her.

1:01:48 > 1:01:50She's determined to finish this picture,

1:01:50 > 1:01:51even if it kills her.

1:01:51 > 1:01:53Yeah, I know.

1:01:54 > 1:01:56But she will get well?

1:01:56 > 1:01:58If it's not too late.

1:01:58 > 1:02:01Perhaps you and I, working together,

1:02:01 > 1:02:02can save her.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05There's always a chance.

1:02:05 > 1:02:07No more than that, huh?

1:02:11 > 1:02:13Well...

1:02:14 > 1:02:16Thanks for telling me, Doctor.

1:02:16 > 1:02:17Goodbye.

1:02:17 > 1:02:18Goodbye.

1:02:45 > 1:02:47OLGA: Do you see over there

1:02:47 > 1:02:49where that V-shaped cluster is?

1:02:49 > 1:02:53Just to the right of it. The bright one.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55It's there to remind me every night

1:02:55 > 1:02:56of where I'm going.

1:03:07 > 1:03:09How is she?

1:03:09 > 1:03:10All right, I guess.

1:03:10 > 1:03:11Everybody ready?

1:03:11 > 1:03:12Ready.

1:03:12 > 1:03:14Start your background action. Camera ready?

1:03:14 > 1:03:16Ready. Take it up.

1:03:16 > 1:03:17Background, action!

1:03:17 > 1:03:19All right, roll it!

1:03:23 > 1:03:24Action!

1:03:24 > 1:03:26CROWD SHOUT

1:04:08 > 1:04:11All right, cut! That's it!

1:04:16 > 1:04:17Olga, I'm going to tell Dolan

1:04:17 > 1:04:19you're not going to work any more today.

1:04:19 > 1:04:22No. No, Bill. Please.

1:04:22 > 1:04:23Why?

1:04:23 > 1:04:25Because you're all in, that's why.

1:04:25 > 1:04:27There's just one more shot,

1:04:27 > 1:04:29then it's finished, the whole picture.

1:04:29 > 1:04:30Yeah, but look, baby,

1:04:30 > 1:04:32it doesn't have to be finished today.

1:04:32 > 1:04:34Marcus said we can pick up this

1:04:34 > 1:04:35last shot tomorrow or next week.

1:04:35 > 1:04:37Oh, please, Bill.

1:04:37 > 1:04:40This is important to me.

1:04:40 > 1:04:42Please.

1:04:42 > 1:04:44We're ready, Miss Treskovna.

1:04:44 > 1:04:45Coming.

1:04:47 > 1:04:48Come along, Bill.

1:04:53 > 1:04:54Here I am, Mike.

1:04:54 > 1:04:55Oh. How are you?

1:04:56 > 1:04:58Are you ready for the big scene?

1:04:58 > 1:04:59Yes.

1:04:59 > 1:05:00It's the last shot.

1:05:00 > 1:05:01Can you go through to the finish?

1:05:01 > 1:05:03Yes.

1:05:03 > 1:05:05You're the best there is.

1:05:05 > 1:05:08Get up there and give it all you've got.

1:05:12 > 1:05:15All right, put the chains on her, boys.

1:05:16 > 1:05:17Is the fire ready?

1:05:17 > 1:05:19Yes, sir.

1:05:27 > 1:05:30OK, let's turn them over.

1:05:32 > 1:05:33Action!

1:05:39 > 1:05:44All you who are here...

1:05:44 > 1:05:46I pardon you for what you do.

1:05:50 > 1:05:53I am young, and I do not know much of life,

1:05:53 > 1:05:57but I know that this little place in which I stand

1:05:57 > 1:06:00is not the world.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03There are places I've never seen

1:06:03 > 1:06:05where men and women

1:06:05 > 1:06:09are full of sweetness and hope.

1:06:09 > 1:06:11I speak to them

1:06:11 > 1:06:13out of the pain that comes.

1:06:14 > 1:06:16Dream on.

1:06:16 > 1:06:20Dream on of God and goodness.

1:06:20 > 1:06:24Believe in truth and justice,

1:06:24 > 1:06:26for the world is yours.

1:06:28 > 1:06:31I will not die.

1:06:31 > 1:06:33I will not die.

1:06:33 > 1:06:36When the fire burns me,

1:06:36 > 1:06:39my soul will remain

1:06:39 > 1:06:41to sing the glory of God.

1:06:41 > 1:06:44I will remain as a light,

1:06:44 > 1:06:46a light for those in the dark.

1:06:50 > 1:06:53My Jesus...

1:06:53 > 1:06:55bless him.

1:06:56 > 1:06:58All right, cut!

1:06:58 > 1:07:00APPLAUSE

1:07:00 > 1:07:02DUNNIGAN: 'It was an inspired performance.

1:07:02 > 1:07:05'The crowd knew it, and I knew it,

1:07:05 > 1:07:06'but it wasn't until the next day

1:07:06 > 1:07:09'that I realised it was more than a performance

1:07:09 > 1:07:11'because it wasn't Joan dying,

1:07:11 > 1:07:12'it was Olga.

1:07:12 > 1:07:15'She died the day after the picture was finished.'

1:07:24 > 1:07:27I, uh...

1:07:27 > 1:07:29I've decided not to release Joan Of Arc.

1:07:35 > 1:07:36I'm going to shelve the picture

1:07:36 > 1:07:39and remake it when I can find the proper person

1:07:39 > 1:07:40to play the part again.

1:07:42 > 1:07:44You're going to shelve it?

1:07:47 > 1:07:49Marcus, you can't do that.

1:07:49 > 1:07:51Nobody else will ever give you

1:07:51 > 1:07:52a performance like that.

1:07:52 > 1:07:54Don't argue with me, Bill.

1:07:54 > 1:07:56I'm not going to release a picture

1:07:56 > 1:07:57with a dead girl in it,

1:07:57 > 1:08:00and that's final.

1:08:00 > 1:08:02You've got to release it, Marcus.

1:08:02 > 1:08:04Olga died to make it.

1:08:04 > 1:08:05She gave up her life to act in it,

1:08:05 > 1:08:07to make something beautiful.

1:08:07 > 1:08:09Where's your heart, Marcus?

1:08:09 > 1:08:12You're a great guy. Do it for her.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14I'm sorry, Bill. I can't.

1:08:14 > 1:08:15If Olga had been a girl

1:08:15 > 1:08:17whom the public had seen and known,

1:08:17 > 1:08:18learned to love,

1:08:18 > 1:08:20I might be willing to take a chance,

1:08:20 > 1:08:22but they've never seen her before.

1:08:22 > 1:08:24All they could be told

1:08:24 > 1:08:26would be that they can't see her again.

1:08:26 > 1:08:30We all gambled on an unknown and lost.

1:08:30 > 1:08:33We didn't know she was sick.

1:08:33 > 1:08:34Now I'm going to take my losses,

1:08:34 > 1:08:36and try again when I can recast the part

1:08:36 > 1:08:39with an established star.

1:08:39 > 1:08:40That's all, gentlemen.

1:08:47 > 1:08:49I'm sorry, Bill.

1:08:49 > 1:08:52She was a fine girl,

1:08:52 > 1:08:53but my going bankrupt

1:08:53 > 1:08:56isn't going to help her or you or me.

1:08:58 > 1:09:01What are you going to do, Bill?

1:09:01 > 1:09:03I'm taking her home.

1:09:03 > 1:09:05That's what she wanted.

1:09:06 > 1:09:08Take a rest for yourself.

1:09:08 > 1:09:09You don't look well.

1:09:09 > 1:09:11And then come back.

1:09:13 > 1:09:15I don't think so, Marcus.

1:09:16 > 1:09:17So long.

1:09:19 > 1:09:23It's tough, Bill, but...it'll pass.

1:09:23 > 1:09:25Everything does.

1:09:27 > 1:09:28I don't think so.

1:09:31 > 1:09:33It can't end like this.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37But that's the way it did end -

1:09:37 > 1:09:38picture shelved,

1:09:38 > 1:09:40Olga's talent and beauty stuck away

1:09:40 > 1:09:43in a vault...

1:09:43 > 1:09:46buried like we're going to bury her.

1:09:48 > 1:09:50It's kind of mean for a girl to have two funerals,

1:09:50 > 1:09:53one for her body

1:09:53 > 1:09:54and one for her soul.

1:09:54 > 1:09:57BELL RINGS

1:09:57 > 1:10:00HE PRAYS IN LATIN

1:10:00 > 1:10:02Church bells, aren't they, Father?

1:10:02 > 1:10:03Yes.

1:10:03 > 1:10:05What are they ringing for?

1:10:05 > 1:10:07Why, they ring every day at noon

1:10:07 > 1:10:08all over the world.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10I guess I never listened.

1:10:10 > 1:10:11They ring to remind us

1:10:11 > 1:10:14how the angel of the Lord came to Mary.

1:10:14 > 1:10:16Hey, I knew there was something I'd forgotten.

1:10:16 > 1:10:18It's been haunting me.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21Olga wanted your church bell rung at the funeral.

1:10:21 > 1:10:22That's the kind of sap I am.

1:10:22 > 1:10:24I almost forgot her last request.

1:10:24 > 1:10:26I'd like to arrange that, Father.

1:10:26 > 1:10:27Certainly. I'll tell the sexton.

1:10:27 > 1:10:29Is it expensive?

1:10:29 > 1:10:32I just don't want to short-change anybody.

1:10:32 > 1:10:34We usually give the sexton 5.00,

1:10:34 > 1:10:37and he rings the bell for 15 minutes.

1:10:39 > 1:10:40You've thought of something else?

1:10:40 > 1:10:42Yeah.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45Father, how many churches are there in Coaltown?

1:10:45 > 1:10:47Why, we have five churches.

1:10:47 > 1:10:49Do they all have bells?

1:10:49 > 1:10:51Well, yes. They have fine bells.

1:10:51 > 1:10:53Five churches with bells, huh?

1:10:53 > 1:10:55Mr Dunnigan, you're not thinking...

1:10:55 > 1:10:57I'm thinking of a lot of things.

1:10:57 > 1:10:59This is pretty big.

1:10:59 > 1:11:03I've been sleeping. I've been walking around in a daze.

1:11:03 > 1:11:05Look, Father. Five churches, five bells.

1:11:05 > 1:11:08I want all the bells to ring at 8:00 tonight

1:11:08 > 1:11:10and keep on ringing for three days.

1:11:10 > 1:11:11But why?

1:11:11 > 1:11:13A brain cell moved finally.

1:11:13 > 1:11:14I was sitting around moaning

1:11:14 > 1:11:16like a beggar on a rainy day.

1:11:16 > 1:11:17It's going to cost money.

1:11:17 > 1:11:19What?

1:11:19 > 1:11:21Ringing the bells for three days and three nights.

1:11:21 > 1:11:23You'll have to hire men at so much per hour.

1:11:23 > 1:11:24That will be taken care of.

1:11:24 > 1:11:26You said you had no money.

1:11:26 > 1:11:28You've heard of St Michael.

1:11:28 > 1:11:30He was a scrapper, wasn't he?

1:11:30 > 1:11:33Indeed. He was the first warrior of Heaven.

1:11:33 > 1:11:35He rescued Peter the Apostle from prison twice

1:11:35 > 1:11:37and fought and defeated Lucifer, Prince of Darkness.

1:11:37 > 1:11:39What are you worried about?

1:11:39 > 1:11:42He's on our side, isn't he?

1:11:57 > 1:11:59Sit down, Mr Dunnigan.

1:11:59 > 1:12:00Thank you.

1:12:04 > 1:12:05Father Spinsky,

1:12:05 > 1:12:07I have been visiting the churches of Coaltown.

1:12:07 > 1:12:10St Leo's being the largest and most important,

1:12:10 > 1:12:12I saved it for last.

1:12:12 > 1:12:16I've arranged to have their bells rung starting at 8:00 tonight,

1:12:16 > 1:12:19and I'd like to have St Leo's bell included.

1:12:19 > 1:12:22I'm doing this to satisfy the dying wish

1:12:22 > 1:12:24of someone dear to me.

1:12:24 > 1:12:27It's unusual for St Leo's bell to ring

1:12:27 > 1:12:29for a funeral in St Michael's.

1:12:29 > 1:12:31Oh, I appreciate that, Father,

1:12:31 > 1:12:35and I'm ready to pay for this unusual privilege.

1:12:35 > 1:12:38I want the bell rung for three days and three nights.

1:12:38 > 1:12:40Three days and three nights?

1:12:40 > 1:12:41Yes.

1:12:41 > 1:12:47The other pastors have agreed that 10 an hour would be satisfactory.

1:12:47 > 1:12:49This is St Leo's, Mr Dunnigan.

1:12:49 > 1:12:51We have much higher expenses

1:12:51 > 1:12:53than the other little churches.

1:12:53 > 1:12:56Oh, I can see that, Father.

1:12:56 > 1:12:59How much will it cost?

1:12:59 > 1:13:02I'm afraid St Leo's could not ring its bell

1:13:02 > 1:13:03for less than...

1:13:03 > 1:13:0620 an hour.

1:13:06 > 1:13:07I can understand that.

1:13:07 > 1:13:10It must cost a lot to keep up this magnificent church.

1:13:10 > 1:13:15Now, that'll be a total of 72 hours at 20 an hour.

1:13:15 > 1:13:16That'd come to...

1:13:16 > 1:13:191,440. Is that right?

1:13:19 > 1:13:21I don't carry that much cash with me.

1:13:21 > 1:13:23I assume a check will be all right?

1:13:23 > 1:13:26If you haven't the cash...

1:13:26 > 1:13:27of course.

1:13:27 > 1:13:30I'm honoured St Leo's will be part of the...

1:13:30 > 1:13:32funeral services for Olga Treskovna.

1:13:35 > 1:13:36There you are.

1:13:36 > 1:13:38Thank you, sir.

1:13:38 > 1:13:39Then it's agreed.

1:13:39 > 1:13:44You'll start at 8:00 and ring continuously until the 1,440 are used up.

1:13:44 > 1:13:45Yes, Mr Dunnigan.

1:13:45 > 1:13:47You'll want a receipt?

1:13:47 > 1:13:48No, Father.

1:13:48 > 1:13:51The cancelled cheque will be my receipt.

1:13:51 > 1:13:53Thank you. You've been very kind.

1:13:53 > 1:13:55Good afternoon, Mr Dunnigan.

1:13:59 > 1:14:00Oh, could I see you?

1:14:00 > 1:14:03Just a minute.

1:14:03 > 1:14:04Where do you want to go?

1:14:04 > 1:14:05Nowhere. I want to send a telegram.

1:14:05 > 1:14:06It's very important.

1:14:06 > 1:14:08The taxi driver said you could handle it.

1:14:08 > 1:14:10Well, come on in.

1:14:12 > 1:14:15Oh, you come in yesterday on the eastbound -

1:14:15 > 1:14:17brought that body.

1:14:17 > 1:14:18I want this sent straight.

1:14:20 > 1:14:22Full rate, huh?

1:14:22 > 1:14:25Let's see if I can read it.

1:14:25 > 1:14:26I'm in a hurry.

1:14:26 > 1:14:29Mister, if I can't read it, I can't send it.

1:14:29 > 1:14:32Let's see...

1:14:32 > 1:14:36"Marcus Harris, Excelsior Studios, Hollywood, Cal."

1:14:36 > 1:14:38That's California, huh?

1:14:38 > 1:14:42"Dear Marcus, have terrific stunt to save Joan Of Arc.

1:14:42 > 1:14:46"Ask no questions. Wire...10,000...

1:14:46 > 1:14:51"immediately, care of Miners' Bank and Trust Company, Nanticoke, Pennsylvania..."

1:14:51 > 1:14:52That's just a block down...

1:14:52 > 1:14:54Yes, I know where it is.

1:14:54 > 1:14:56Uh..."Must have it by noon.

1:14:56 > 1:15:01"It will pay back 10 million...

1:15:01 > 1:15:04"gross for picture. Doonigan is in great..."

1:15:04 > 1:15:05That's Dunnigan.

1:15:05 > 1:15:07"Dunnigan is in great form.

1:15:07 > 1:15:09"Trust Dunnigan completely.

1:15:09 > 1:15:12"Dunnigan is still world's greatest press agent.

1:15:12 > 1:15:14"Regards, Dunnigan."

1:15:14 > 1:15:15Who's Dunnigan?

1:15:15 > 1:15:16I am.

1:15:16 > 1:15:18You don't say?

1:15:19 > 1:15:21I counted. It comes to 4.08.

1:15:21 > 1:15:22There's 5.00.

1:15:22 > 1:15:25Keep the change and buy yourself a drink.

1:15:25 > 1:15:30Here's the number I want you to call in Coaltown.

1:15:30 > 1:15:32Call me when the answer comes through.

1:15:32 > 1:15:34That comes to 4.08.

1:15:34 > 1:15:35I paid you. Here's 5.00.

1:15:35 > 1:15:3710,000.

1:15:37 > 1:15:40Nobody ever sent 10,000 to Nanticoke.

1:15:40 > 1:15:43I'll sure like to see that return wire.

1:15:43 > 1:15:45So will I. But just the two of us.

1:15:45 > 1:15:47That's why I didn't phone it in.

1:15:47 > 1:15:48Oh, yes, sir.

1:15:48 > 1:15:50Get that right off, will you?

1:15:50 > 1:15:53Yes, yes. This is something.

1:16:04 > 1:16:07HORN HONKS

1:16:07 > 1:16:09MAN HUMS

1:16:09 > 1:16:11Where do you want to go now?

1:16:11 > 1:16:12Back to Coaltown.

1:16:12 > 1:16:16Oh, I don't know if we can make it.

1:16:17 > 1:16:21HE HUMS

1:16:24 > 1:16:26Hey, Sleski, you think maybe I'd better drive?

1:16:26 > 1:16:28No, I can drive all right.

1:16:28 > 1:16:30CHURCH BELLS RING

1:16:32 > 1:16:33What's the matter?

1:16:33 > 1:16:36I must have had one too many.

1:16:36 > 1:16:38I keep hearing a church bell.

1:16:42 > 1:16:43Right on the dot - 8:00.

1:16:45 > 1:16:47You hear that?

1:16:47 > 1:16:48Yes, indeed.

1:16:48 > 1:16:50Beautiful.

1:16:50 > 1:16:53Sounds like all the churches in town.

1:16:58 > 1:17:01I never heard church bells ringing in Coaltown

1:17:01 > 1:17:03at this time of night.

1:17:34 > 1:17:37Hey, what's all the bells ringing for?

1:17:37 > 1:17:38Is somebody dead?

1:17:38 > 1:17:40Been going on since 8:00.

1:17:40 > 1:17:44Yeah, but they wouldn't all be ringing for somebody dead.

1:17:54 > 1:17:56Hiya, Bob. What's going on in them churches?

1:17:56 > 1:17:58They've been ringing for ten minutes.

1:17:58 > 1:18:01Some dope must be getting married.

1:18:01 > 1:18:04They're ringing all over town.

1:18:04 > 1:18:08They started ringing about 20 minutes ago,

1:18:08 > 1:18:11and nobody's been able to tell me why yet.

1:18:11 > 1:18:12OK, I'll let you know.

1:18:12 > 1:18:14That was the Nanticoke Journal.

1:18:14 > 1:18:15Don't they know anything?

1:18:15 > 1:18:17No, they don't know anything, either.

1:18:17 > 1:18:19BELLS CONTINUE RINGING

1:18:34 > 1:18:36That's St Michael's.

1:18:36 > 1:18:39St Leo's is ringing, too.

1:18:41 > 1:18:43BELLS CONTINUE RINGING

1:19:08 > 1:19:09Uh, uh, Mr Dunnigan?

1:19:09 > 1:19:10Yeah?

1:19:10 > 1:19:12They're in there.

1:19:12 > 1:19:13Who?

1:19:13 > 1:19:15Newspapermen. They're in the parlour.

1:19:15 > 1:19:18Newspapermen, huh? Thanks.

1:19:27 > 1:19:28Mr Dunnigan?

1:19:28 > 1:19:29Yes.

1:19:29 > 1:19:31Tod Jones from the Associated Press.

1:19:31 > 1:19:33Briggs. Wilkes-Barre Sun.

1:19:33 > 1:19:35Nanticoke - The Journal. Tanner's my name.

1:19:35 > 1:19:36Gentlemen.

1:19:36 > 1:19:39We got a call from Nanticoke about these bells.

1:19:39 > 1:19:40What's it all about?

1:19:40 > 1:19:42Father Paul at St Michael's

1:19:42 > 1:19:45told us to talk to you.

1:19:45 > 1:19:47This is surprising, all this interest.

1:19:47 > 1:19:51I didn't think anyone outside of Coaltown would notice.

1:19:54 > 1:19:58Who is this Olga Trotki - uh, Treskovna?

1:19:58 > 1:20:00She died ten days ago in Hollywood.

1:20:00 > 1:20:04She was an actress there - a great actress, gentlemen.

1:20:04 > 1:20:07When she died, she wanted to be brought back here

1:20:07 > 1:20:09where she'd lived most of her life.

1:20:09 > 1:20:12She wanted to be buried beside her father.

1:20:12 > 1:20:15Stan Truckee was sort of a wandering minstrel.

1:20:15 > 1:20:18He played the accordion and sang.

1:20:18 > 1:20:21He was born with a gift of laughter and song.

1:20:21 > 1:20:24He passed these on to his daughter.

1:20:24 > 1:20:26She was a Hollywood star, eh?

1:20:26 > 1:20:28Was she in any movies we've heard of?

1:20:28 > 1:20:31I don't see any reason for going into that. Drink?

1:20:31 > 1:20:32Yeah. Fine.

1:20:32 > 1:20:33Mr Cummer.

1:20:33 > 1:20:34Yes?

1:20:34 > 1:20:36Will you bring a bottle of bourbon

1:20:36 > 1:20:38and some glasses, please?

1:20:38 > 1:20:41She'd just finished making Joan Of Arc

1:20:41 > 1:20:42for Marcus Harris.

1:20:42 > 1:20:45You're Bill Dunnigan, aren't you?

1:20:48 > 1:20:51"White spats" Dunnigan.

1:20:52 > 1:20:54I haven't worn spats in quite a while.

1:20:54 > 1:20:56Well, fellas, this is really good.

1:20:56 > 1:20:58You know who we're interviewing?

1:20:58 > 1:21:00Bill Dunnigan, the press agent.

1:21:00 > 1:21:02The big super-duper press agent.

1:21:02 > 1:21:04I read an article about him.

1:21:04 > 1:21:06He pulls big daffy stunts

1:21:06 > 1:21:08to put over flop shows and movies.

1:21:08 > 1:21:12BRIGGS: So that's what's going on - a press agent stunt.

1:21:12 > 1:21:14Here you are, boys.

1:21:14 > 1:21:18You must've thought we were a bunch of rube journalists.

1:21:18 > 1:21:22Bells ringing for three days. Quite a gag.

1:21:22 > 1:21:25If Marcus Harris really wants to put over his picture,

1:21:25 > 1:21:28tell him he can buy space in the newspapers.

1:21:28 > 1:21:30Maybe he hasn't heard about that gag called...

1:21:30 > 1:21:33paid advertising.

1:21:33 > 1:21:35I think I need this one.

1:21:40 > 1:21:41OK, boys.

1:21:41 > 1:21:43I was trying to pull a fast one,

1:21:43 > 1:21:45but it's not what you're thinking.

1:21:45 > 1:21:48Everything I told you is true.

1:21:48 > 1:21:50How about the whole story?

1:21:50 > 1:21:52The AP doesn't print press agents' copy.

1:21:52 > 1:21:54Maybe it's a press agent's story, maybe it isn't.

1:21:54 > 1:21:57Won't hurt you to listen.

1:21:57 > 1:22:00Who's putting up for the bells?

1:22:00 > 1:22:02That's a fair question.

1:22:02 > 1:22:05The bells are being paid for by yours truly,

1:22:05 > 1:22:06aided by four bad checks

1:22:06 > 1:22:10which I have given the clergy of Coaltown.

1:22:10 > 1:22:12I've wired Harris for 10,000.

1:22:12 > 1:22:13If he sends it, fine.

1:22:13 > 1:22:15If he doesn't...

1:22:15 > 1:22:18our next meeting will be in Coaltown's jail.

1:22:18 > 1:22:19Why wouldn't he send it?

1:22:19 > 1:22:22When Olga died, he decided to shelve the picture.

1:22:22 > 1:22:24I'm doing this on my own.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27I figured ringing the bells would be news -

1:22:27 > 1:22:28he'd have to release it.

1:22:28 > 1:22:30The public would demand it.

1:22:30 > 1:22:33What's your interest in the picture?

1:22:33 > 1:22:36I don't want to see Olga's talent buried.

1:22:36 > 1:22:38She died for it.

1:22:38 > 1:22:42You want to hear why she felt it was worth dying for?

1:22:42 > 1:22:44Go ahead.

1:22:44 > 1:22:45Shoot.

1:22:48 > 1:22:52I'll try to tell you in her own words.

1:22:52 > 1:22:55She finished the last scene in the picture and collapsed.

1:22:55 > 1:22:58They took her to the hospital that night.

1:22:58 > 1:23:01She was so bad, they wouldn't let me see her.

1:23:01 > 1:23:05But the next morning at daybreak, they sent for me.

1:23:13 > 1:23:14Hello, Bill.

1:23:14 > 1:23:15Hello, baby.

1:23:15 > 1:23:17You tired?

1:23:18 > 1:23:21Good long rest, and you'll be on your feet again.

1:23:21 > 1:23:23But you've got to take it easy, hear?

1:23:23 > 1:23:26No more of that getting there in a hurry.

1:23:26 > 1:23:28No more.

1:23:28 > 1:23:30You're going to get better, I'm telling you.

1:23:30 > 1:23:31Shh. Shh.

1:23:31 > 1:23:33Bill.

1:23:36 > 1:23:38Bill...

1:23:38 > 1:23:41will you promise me something?

1:23:41 > 1:23:42Anything you want, baby.

1:23:46 > 1:23:50I want to be buried in Coaltown,

1:23:50 > 1:23:52beside my father and mother

1:23:52 > 1:23:55on a hill

1:23:55 > 1:23:57from St Michael's church.

1:23:57 > 1:23:59Olga, don't talk like that.

1:24:01 > 1:24:05And I want them to ring the bell for me.

1:24:05 > 1:24:08They didn't ring it for my father.

1:24:10 > 1:24:14And six angels with white wings

1:24:14 > 1:24:15beside the coffin.

1:24:18 > 1:24:20Don't forget...

1:24:20 > 1:24:22St Michael's.

1:24:25 > 1:24:28I like to think of the hill

1:24:28 > 1:24:31outside of Coaltown.

1:24:33 > 1:24:35I can see it.

1:24:40 > 1:24:41Bill...

1:24:43 > 1:24:46Is the picture really good?

1:24:46 > 1:24:47It's wonderful.

1:24:47 > 1:24:49You're great in it.

1:24:49 > 1:24:53I hope it's true...

1:24:53 > 1:24:56because I didn't play Joan alone.

1:24:56 > 1:24:59A lot of people played her -

1:24:59 > 1:25:02people you've never seen or heard.

1:25:04 > 1:25:06My dad...

1:25:06 > 1:25:10and all the other poor, sad people of Coaltown.

1:25:12 > 1:25:14You'd better not talk, baby.

1:25:14 > 1:25:16Let me talk, Bill,

1:25:16 > 1:25:18a little while longer.

1:25:19 > 1:25:24I want you to know and remember why I did it,

1:25:24 > 1:25:27why I kept on till this happened.

1:25:28 > 1:25:32It's because all those poor people,

1:25:32 > 1:25:35all the people I came from,

1:25:35 > 1:25:38have hopes and dreams in them

1:25:38 > 1:25:42that never get a chance.

1:25:42 > 1:25:45They just work and die,

1:25:45 > 1:25:48and all the nice things inside them...

1:25:48 > 1:25:50never come out.

1:25:51 > 1:25:54And, Bill...

1:25:54 > 1:25:58I came out of them.

1:25:58 > 1:26:02When they hear me, they'll know...

1:26:02 > 1:26:06it's their own hearts speaking.

1:26:06 > 1:26:13When they see my name shining in all the theatres,

1:26:13 > 1:26:16it will be something of theirs shining.

1:26:19 > 1:26:20Hang on, baby.

1:26:20 > 1:26:22Hang on.

1:26:22 > 1:26:25Oh, Bill, I'm...

1:26:25 > 1:26:27so happy.

1:26:29 > 1:26:32I did my job.

1:26:38 > 1:26:40Olga.

1:26:44 > 1:26:47HE SOBS

1:26:55 > 1:26:57BELLS RING

1:27:33 > 1:27:35BELLS RING

1:27:45 > 1:27:47Do you like them, Olga?

1:27:48 > 1:27:50They're ringing your name, baby,

1:27:50 > 1:27:52coast to coast.

1:27:54 > 1:27:57KNOCK AT DOOR Mr Dunnigan, newspapers.

1:27:57 > 1:27:59Yeah. Come in. The door's open.

1:28:01 > 1:28:03Here are the papers you ordered.

1:28:03 > 1:28:06I put them on the bill, including their delivery -

1:28:06 > 1:28:073.00.

1:28:07 > 1:28:08Thanks.

1:28:08 > 1:28:09Father Spinsky's downstairs.

1:28:09 > 1:28:10He wants to see you.

1:28:10 > 1:28:13I'll be down as soon as I'm dressed.

1:28:13 > 1:28:15Well, partner, we swept the country.

1:28:15 > 1:28:16I got a wire from the office.

1:28:16 > 1:28:18It went over big.

1:28:18 > 1:28:19Father Spinsky said it was important.

1:28:19 > 1:28:20I'll be right down.

1:28:20 > 1:28:23Let me see one of those.

1:28:25 > 1:28:27Get a load of this Gazette.

1:28:27 > 1:28:28Not bad, eh?

1:28:28 > 1:28:29Wonderful.

1:28:31 > 1:28:34"Born with the gift of laughter and song,

1:28:34 > 1:28:36"he passed these on to his lovely daughter."

1:28:36 > 1:28:37Thanks, Jonesy.

1:28:37 > 1:28:38Think nothing of it.

1:28:38 > 1:28:40All that can happen is I get fired

1:28:40 > 1:28:42and spend my life mooching drinks.

1:28:42 > 1:28:45Hey, hey, hey, hey. Lookee, lookee, lookee, fellas.

1:28:45 > 1:28:46Oh, you've already seen them.

1:28:46 > 1:28:48Yeah.

1:28:48 > 1:28:50Well, here's something you don't know.

1:28:50 > 1:28:52I heard it when I was having breakfast.

1:28:52 > 1:28:54The company's going to squawk.

1:28:54 > 1:28:55The company?

1:28:55 > 1:28:56The mining interest.

1:28:56 > 1:28:57The big company that runs this town.

1:28:57 > 1:29:00Frederick Watson - that monstrous house on the hill -

1:29:00 > 1:29:02seems he doesn't like the bells.

1:29:02 > 1:29:04Well, that's too bad.

1:29:04 > 1:29:05Yeah, but it's serious.

1:29:05 > 1:29:08He says they have a bad psychological effect.

1:29:08 > 1:29:11Takes the miners' minds off digging coal.

1:29:11 > 1:29:12Claims the bells are a nuisance.

1:29:12 > 1:29:14He can't think straight,

1:29:14 > 1:29:16so he's going to protest.

1:29:16 > 1:29:17What can he really do?

1:29:17 > 1:29:19Plenty. Seems he's the one

1:29:19 > 1:29:21who gave that bell to St Leo's.

1:29:21 > 1:29:22He can stop that one easy,

1:29:22 > 1:29:24then force the others to quit

1:29:24 > 1:29:27as a public nuisance.

1:29:28 > 1:29:29Did Los Angeles carry our story?

1:29:29 > 1:29:31Big.

1:29:31 > 1:29:33No wire from Marcus. I don't understand it.

1:29:33 > 1:29:35Or what's worse, maybe I do.

1:29:37 > 1:29:39If Marcus doesn't kick through...

1:29:40 > 1:29:42Don't let me think such thoughts.

1:29:43 > 1:29:45You perhaps do not realise, Mr Dunnigan,

1:29:45 > 1:29:48how many friends Olga's father had in coaltown.

1:29:48 > 1:29:49I met a number of them

1:29:49 > 1:29:51in Mr Orloff's establishment.

1:29:51 > 1:29:53All of them will want to attend the funeral.

1:29:53 > 1:29:56St Michael's would never accommodate them.

1:29:57 > 1:29:59Oh, good morning, Father Paul.

1:29:59 > 1:30:01Good morning. Good morning, Father Spinsky.

1:30:01 > 1:30:02Did you see your name in the paper?

1:30:02 > 1:30:05St Michael is spread over every front page.

1:30:05 > 1:30:08I haven't had time to read anything, Bill.

1:30:08 > 1:30:10The most unusual thing happened -

1:30:10 > 1:30:11really remarkable.

1:30:11 > 1:30:13I mean this morning at Mass.

1:30:13 > 1:30:15You've already had Mass? Before breakfast?

1:30:15 > 1:30:17Yes. There were nearly 100 of them.

1:30:17 > 1:30:19They came to view the coffin,

1:30:19 > 1:30:20but they stayed for Mass.

1:30:20 > 1:30:23I was just talking of that, Father Paul.

1:30:23 > 1:30:26I fear your little church will be overtaxed.

1:30:26 > 1:30:27There's a busload of sightseers

1:30:27 > 1:30:29in from Wilkes-Barre already.

1:30:29 > 1:30:31As a matter of fact,

1:30:31 > 1:30:32we're really not equipped.

1:30:32 > 1:30:34We've already run out of candles,

1:30:34 > 1:30:36but I hope to find some.

1:30:36 > 1:30:39I'm sure Father Spinsky has some he can spare.

1:30:39 > 1:30:41It must be clear to you, Mr Dunnigan,

1:30:41 > 1:30:43from what you've just heard,

1:30:43 > 1:30:45that it would be wise and sensible

1:30:45 > 1:30:47to move Olga to St Leo's

1:30:47 > 1:30:50and let us conduct the funeral from my church.

1:30:50 > 1:30:52Perhaps it would be better, Bill.

1:30:52 > 1:30:55If you wish to alter your arrangements,

1:30:55 > 1:30:56I won't stand in your way

1:30:56 > 1:30:57or Father Spinsky's.

1:30:57 > 1:30:59No, Father Paul.

1:30:59 > 1:31:01Olga is going to be buried from St Michael's.

1:31:01 > 1:31:03I'm not altering our arrangement.

1:31:03 > 1:31:06Well, then you've got to tell him.

1:31:06 > 1:31:09I hoped not to be forced into this position.

1:31:09 > 1:31:12I came here eager to be of service.

1:31:12 > 1:31:14Both of us.

1:31:14 > 1:31:15Please, Mr Orloff.

1:31:15 > 1:31:17However,

1:31:17 > 1:31:19I must now read you this telegram

1:31:19 > 1:31:20which our bank received

1:31:20 > 1:31:23from the Gotham Exchange bank this morning.

1:31:23 > 1:31:24"In reply to your query

1:31:24 > 1:31:27"regarding financial rating, William Dunnigan,

1:31:27 > 1:31:29"he has account at this bank.

1:31:29 > 1:31:31"Present balance 300."

1:31:31 > 1:31:34I shall telephone your bank again at noon.

1:31:34 > 1:31:36If the money is not in your account,

1:31:36 > 1:31:38the bell of my church will stop ringing,

1:31:38 > 1:31:40and I shall inform my fellow pastors

1:31:40 > 1:31:41of your swindle,

1:31:41 > 1:31:44and they will also stop their bells.

1:31:44 > 1:31:45Good day.

1:31:45 > 1:31:46I'm notifying the town constable

1:31:46 > 1:31:48just what's going on.

1:31:48 > 1:31:50You had your chance to stay out of jail,

1:31:50 > 1:31:52but you were too smart.

1:31:52 > 1:31:54Please, Mr Orloff.

1:32:01 > 1:32:02You know, Bill,

1:32:02 > 1:32:05St Leo's is a very fine church,

1:32:05 > 1:32:07and she'd have a wonderful sermon and...

1:32:07 > 1:32:08Run out on St Michael's?

1:32:08 > 1:32:10Oh, no, Father, forget it.

1:32:10 > 1:32:12Hey, uh, Father,

1:32:12 > 1:32:15how much is the bus fare to Nanticoke?

1:32:15 > 1:32:17Uh, it's 10 cents.

1:32:17 > 1:32:191.00 ought to cover it, then.

1:32:19 > 1:32:21But I don't understand, Bill.

1:32:21 > 1:32:23Look, Father, don't make it difficult.

1:32:23 > 1:32:25I'm putting the bite on you for 1.00.

1:32:25 > 1:32:27Oh, of course.

1:32:29 > 1:32:30Thanks.

1:32:30 > 1:32:31Will that be enough?

1:32:31 > 1:32:33Not quite. I need another 4,999,

1:32:33 > 1:32:35but I may be able

1:32:35 > 1:32:37to pick it up in Nanticoke.

1:32:37 > 1:32:38Are you sure there isn't a night letter

1:32:38 > 1:32:40lying around Wilkes-Barre?

1:32:40 > 1:32:41I've asked him five times.

1:32:41 > 1:32:43He's got to answer.

1:32:43 > 1:32:45Try him again, will you?

1:32:48 > 1:32:51Nope. Nothing.

1:32:51 > 1:32:52People don't break their neck

1:32:52 > 1:32:55giving 10,000 away.

1:32:55 > 1:32:56Is that clock up there right?

1:32:56 > 1:32:58Uh...yep.

1:32:58 > 1:33:00MACHINE CLICKS Ah, here comes something.

1:33:02 > 1:33:03For me?

1:33:03 > 1:33:05Uh...

1:33:05 > 1:33:07yep. Yep. Prepaid.

1:33:07 > 1:33:08From Harris?

1:33:08 > 1:33:09Shh.

1:33:11 > 1:33:12Hey, wait. I can't read that.

1:33:12 > 1:33:14Shh. Please.

1:33:14 > 1:33:15Is he sending the money?

1:33:15 > 1:33:17Shh!

1:33:18 > 1:33:20I can't make that out.

1:33:20 > 1:33:22What is that, code or something?

1:33:22 > 1:33:23Ah.

1:33:23 > 1:33:25Go on, read it.

1:33:25 > 1:33:27"William Dunnigan, Coaltown, Pennsylvania.

1:33:31 > 1:33:32Cut you down, didn't he?

1:33:32 > 1:33:34I expected that.

1:33:34 > 1:33:35They always do.

1:33:55 > 1:33:57I know where it is.

1:33:59 > 1:34:00Harris came through, eh?

1:34:00 > 1:34:02Yeah. Here's his wire.

1:34:02 > 1:34:03He's not sold yet.

1:34:03 > 1:34:05We need something big.

1:34:05 > 1:34:06I've got to get him boiling over.

1:34:06 > 1:34:08If we could only get some new angle

1:34:08 > 1:34:10to hand the papers.

1:34:10 > 1:34:12Unless we get something big

1:34:12 > 1:34:13to go with the bells,

1:34:15 > 1:34:19We've got to cook up some new coast-to-coast headlines.

1:34:19 > 1:34:21Well, boys, you can calm down.

1:34:21 > 1:34:22The party's over.

1:34:22 > 1:34:23Listen while you can.

1:34:23 > 1:34:25They're mighty pretty, aren't they?

1:34:25 > 1:34:26They won't be ringing long.

1:34:26 > 1:34:27What's up?

1:34:27 > 1:34:29The company.

1:34:29 > 1:34:32Mr Watson's filed a protest.

1:34:32 > 1:34:34He's on his way to Father Spinsky's

1:34:34 > 1:34:35to stop St Leo's bell.

1:34:35 > 1:34:37No. He can't do that.

1:34:39 > 1:34:42St Michael, you've got to stop this Watson.

1:34:42 > 1:34:43St Michael can't do anything.

1:34:43 > 1:34:44The company's too big.

1:34:44 > 1:34:46Mr Watson's too important.

1:34:46 > 1:34:48There must be somebody more important.

1:34:48 > 1:34:49The governor, maybe,

1:34:49 > 1:34:51or there's always the president.

1:34:51 > 1:34:52That's it.

1:34:52 > 1:34:53Father Paul, do you know

1:34:53 > 1:34:55the governor of this state?

1:34:55 > 1:34:56Why, no. Only his name.

1:34:56 > 1:34:58I don't know the governor, Dunnigan,

1:34:58 > 1:35:00but his secretary Fred Frisby

1:35:00 > 1:35:02is my wife's cousin.

1:35:02 > 1:35:03Can I use the phone?

1:35:03 > 1:35:04Certainly.

1:35:04 > 1:35:06Don't worry. I'll pay the charges.

1:35:06 > 1:35:08I'm not worried. Merely bewildered.

1:35:08 > 1:35:11Hello, Hattie? This is Bill Dunnigan.

1:35:11 > 1:35:12Look, this is an emergency.

1:35:12 > 1:35:13Can you get me right through?

1:35:13 > 1:35:15I want to talk to Fred Frisby

1:35:15 > 1:35:17in the governor's mansion in...

1:35:17 > 1:35:18Harrisburg.

1:35:55 > 1:35:56I've never seen a campaign like this

1:35:56 > 1:35:59in all my born days.

1:35:59 > 1:36:01It'll all be over Friday after the funeral.

1:36:01 > 1:36:03I know. I understand.

1:36:03 > 1:36:04How much did he wire for?

1:36:04 > 1:36:06Another 5,000.

1:36:06 > 1:36:08We can't release Joan for months.

1:36:08 > 1:36:10By then this publicity will be as dead as Olga.

1:36:10 > 1:36:12People don't remember funerals.

1:36:12 > 1:36:14It's grown bigger every day.

1:36:14 > 1:36:15But it can't go on.

1:36:15 > 1:36:17It's just a flash in the pan.

1:42:01 > 1:42:02Yes, I know, I know.

1:42:02 > 1:42:05I started the bells ringing as a gag

1:42:05 > 1:42:07to get them to release Olga's picture,

1:42:07 > 1:42:09but I didn't do that upstairs.

1:42:09 > 1:42:11I had nothing to do with it.

1:42:11 > 1:42:13The statues turned by themselves

1:42:13 > 1:42:14and looked at Olga.

1:42:14 > 1:42:17Yes. I've been investigating it here.

1:42:17 > 1:42:19Investigating what?

1:42:19 > 1:42:20The statues turning.

1:42:20 > 1:42:21Look. You can see.

1:42:21 > 1:42:23See what?

1:42:23 > 1:42:24The ground is broken, Bill,

1:42:24 > 1:42:26at the base of this pillar

1:42:26 > 1:42:28and all the way across,

1:42:28 > 1:42:30over to the base of the other.

1:42:35 > 1:42:38These two pillars support the statues.

1:42:41 > 1:42:44Are you trying to knock out the miracle?

1:42:44 > 1:42:46There wasn't any miracle, Bill.

1:42:46 > 1:42:49There are a lot of old mineshafts under here.

1:42:49 > 1:42:51The earth isn't too solid.

1:42:51 > 1:42:54The movement of the pillars made the statues turn.

1:42:54 > 1:42:56That's it, huh?

1:42:56 > 1:42:57Yes.

1:42:57 > 1:42:59At first I was worried

1:42:59 > 1:43:00about the floor above.

1:43:00 > 1:43:03It was just a slight sinking of the earth.

1:43:03 > 1:43:05I had to make sure, Bill.

1:43:05 > 1:43:06It wasn't a miracle.

1:43:06 > 1:43:08The pressure did it.

1:43:08 > 1:43:09What pressure?

1:43:09 > 1:43:10Of the people above

1:43:10 > 1:43:12who came to look at the coffin.

1:43:12 > 1:43:15Our flooring is unused to such crowds.

1:43:17 > 1:43:20What are you going to do, Father?

1:43:20 > 1:43:22I'm going up to tell them the truth.

1:43:22 > 1:43:24You know the truth?

1:43:24 > 1:43:25Yes.

1:43:25 > 1:43:26Wait a minute, Father.

1:43:26 > 1:43:28You're not going to tell them

1:43:28 > 1:43:30about those mineshafts?

1:43:31 > 1:43:33I must tell the truth, Bill.

1:43:33 > 1:43:35The church doesn't accept miracles

1:43:35 > 1:43:38without investigating them carefully.

1:43:38 > 1:43:40It's my duty to tell them.

1:43:40 > 1:43:41It's your duty

1:43:41 > 1:43:43to take the light out of their faces?

1:43:43 > 1:43:45I saw them when it happened.

1:43:45 > 1:43:47I saw those poor, bitter faces shining

1:43:47 > 1:43:50as if someone had turned a light on inside them,

1:43:50 > 1:43:52and I heard them giving thanks

1:43:52 > 1:43:54to the somebody who had turned the statues.

1:43:54 > 1:43:55Now you're going upstairs

1:43:55 > 1:43:58and ask them to thank a couple of basement pillars

1:43:58 > 1:44:00and a piece of broken ground.

1:44:00 > 1:44:02Look, Father Paul,

1:44:02 > 1:44:04maybe I want a miracle because I'm a press agent,

1:44:04 > 1:44:07but I'm not thinking of putting over a movie now.

1:44:07 > 1:44:08Whoever turned those statues

1:44:08 > 1:44:11wasn't selling a picture for Marcus Harris.

1:44:11 > 1:44:12I tell you, Father,

1:44:12 > 1:44:15God was trying to say, "Life's all right.

1:44:15 > 1:44:17"It's not as bad as it seems.

1:44:17 > 1:44:19"I'm up here watching and trying to help."

1:44:19 > 1:44:21If he didn't say it,

1:44:21 > 1:44:22if nobody up there said it,

1:44:22 > 1:44:24it's been said,

1:44:24 > 1:44:26because it's in their hearts now.

1:44:26 > 1:44:29It'll go out all over the world.

1:44:29 > 1:44:30And if God doesn't speak like that

1:44:30 > 1:44:32out of Heaven,

1:44:32 > 1:44:34he'll be speaking out of people's hearts.

1:44:34 > 1:44:38And what's the difference where he speaks from?

1:44:38 > 1:44:40Your job isn't to hide his word, is it?

1:44:40 > 1:44:42BELLS CONTINUE RINGING

1:44:42 > 1:44:44No, it isn't to hide his word.

1:44:44 > 1:44:46The saints came to Joan of Arc

1:44:46 > 1:44:47because she believed in God

1:44:47 > 1:44:51and wanted to help the people of France.

1:44:51 > 1:44:53Olga believed in God just as much.

1:44:53 > 1:44:56She wanted to help the people of Coaltown

1:44:56 > 1:44:58just as much.

1:44:58 > 1:45:00Give her the chance, Father Paul.

1:47:43 > 1:47:45'which is honeycombed with old mining tunnels,

1:48:14 > 1:48:16A tremendous miracle!

1:48:20 > 1:48:22Oh, no, don't tell me.

1:48:22 > 1:48:24This is too much.

1:48:24 > 1:48:28Listen, Marcus, a miracle has happened to Olga Treskovna.

1:48:37 > 1:48:38What do you mean, it isn't Dunnigan?

1:48:38 > 1:48:40Do you think God is interested

1:48:40 > 1:48:42in selling movies for me?

1:48:42 > 1:48:44I never heard such bunk,

1:48:44 > 1:48:45and you believe it.

1:48:45 > 1:48:47The whole country believes it.

1:48:47 > 1:48:48Let me explain...

1:48:48 > 1:48:49Don't explain anything.

1:49:03 > 1:49:04I'm through with him.

1:49:04 > 1:49:06This is the real thing.

1:49:06 > 1:49:08The statues turned. People saw.

1:49:08 > 1:49:09They paid someone to turn them.

1:49:09 > 1:49:11Don't you believe in miracles?

1:49:11 > 1:49:13You've just made a picture about one,

1:49:14 > 1:49:15I believe in miracles.

1:49:15 > 1:49:18I was brought up to believe in God and in miracles...

1:49:18 > 1:49:20if he made them,

1:49:20 > 1:49:22but the difference is as follows -

1:49:22 > 1:49:25Moses didn't pay anyone to hold back the Red Sea,

1:49:25 > 1:49:28Daniel didn't pay to get out of the lion's den,

1:49:41 > 1:49:42he's the biggest faker in America!

1:49:55 > 1:49:58'"Did a miracle occur in Coaltown?"

1:49:58 > 1:50:00'But here in the little mining community,

1:50:00 > 1:50:02'no-one asks that question.

1:50:02 > 1:50:04'Every man, woman, and child here

1:50:04 > 1:50:07'believes that the grace of God has touched them.

1:50:07 > 1:50:09'To them, a miracle has happened.

1:50:09 > 1:50:11'What is a miracle?

1:50:11 > 1:50:13'The word "miracle" comes from the Latin,

1:50:13 > 1:50:16'and it means, "a wonderful thing."

1:50:16 > 1:50:17'Well, most certainly

1:50:17 > 1:50:20'a wonderful thing has happened here,

1:50:20 > 1:50:21'something so wondrous

1:50:21 > 1:50:24'that it has torn the bitterness and the doubts

1:50:24 > 1:50:26'from the hearts of the people

1:50:34 > 1:50:37'when Olga Treskovna was brought home,

1:50:37 > 1:50:39'a wonderful thing happened,
