00:04:36Meow.
00:04:38Meow.
00:04:40Meow.
00:04:42And as I write, it may become clear that what happened to us had its own reason beyond our poor understanding.
00:04:50If this reaches you, you will know how I became yours when you didn't know who I was or even that I existed.
00:04:59I think everyone has two birthdays, the day of his physical birth and the beginning of his conscious life.
00:05:07Nothing is vivid or real in my memory before that day in spring when I came home from school and found a moving van in front of our building.
00:05:37I wondered about our new neighbor who owns such beautiful things.
00:05:41Lisa. Come in, Lisa. Come in this minute, you hear?
00:05:48Lisa.
00:05:50Yes, mother.
00:05:54Who's going to clean that up?
00:05:56Me, I suppose.
00:05:58Yeah, I haven't enough to do.
00:06:00I'm going to be sure to drive a little later on.
00:06:02You better get another rope.
00:06:04What?
00:06:05You better get another rope.
00:06:07All right.
00:06:08Come on.
00:06:09Get another rope for the wagon.
00:06:11This is the last time I move a musician.
00:06:13Why does he have to play the piano?
00:06:15Why not the piccolo?
00:06:23Where do these go?
00:06:26What?
00:06:32Aha. In the study.
00:06:34Hey, pal, where's that rope? We're waiting.
00:06:37I'm coming.
00:06:41Lisa, what are you doing out there? Come inside.
00:06:46I didn't see you that day.
00:06:48Or for many days thereafter.
00:06:50But I could listen to your playing.
00:07:16I wish he'd stop that noise.
00:07:18It's not noise.
00:07:20Don't bite my head off.
00:07:22It's Mr. Brown playing.
00:07:24You call that playing?
00:07:26No, it's playing.
00:07:28It's playing.
00:07:30It's playing.
00:07:32It's playing.
00:07:34It's playing.
00:07:36It's playing.
00:07:38It's playing.
00:07:40It's playing.
00:07:42It's playing.
00:07:44You call that playing?
00:07:56Oh, Dizzy.
00:07:58Who?
00:08:00Him.
00:08:02Oh, I don't know.
00:08:04Quite old, I guess.
00:08:06Oh.
00:08:08You know the boy I was talking to outside of school?
00:08:10The bony one with the yellow hair and the long nose.
00:08:13The one who lives next to the grocery.
00:08:16I'm going to have to do something about him if he doesn't keep his hands to himself.
00:08:22The things he does.
00:08:24Right out in the street.
00:08:41Thank you, John.
00:08:43I'll be home late. You needn't wait up for me.
00:09:15Good morning.
00:09:27Why, Lisa.
00:09:31You're all red in the face.
00:09:33I'm not.
00:09:35I'm not.
00:09:37I'm not.
00:09:39You're all red in the face.
00:09:41You're blushing.
00:09:43I'll get you for this.
00:09:46Yes, I was blushing.
00:09:48And hard as it may be for you to realize,
00:09:51from that moment on, I was in love with you.
00:09:55Quite consciously, I began to prepare myself for you.
00:09:59I kept my clothes neater,
00:10:01so you wouldn't be ashamed of me.
00:10:05I went to dancing school.
00:10:07I wanted to become more graceful
00:10:10and learn good manners for you.
00:10:23And so I would know more about you and your world.
00:10:27I went to the library and studied the lives of the great musicians of the past.
00:10:38Though I was not able to go to your concerts,
00:10:41I found ways of sharing in your success.
00:10:56And as the months went by,
00:10:58I began to know your friends.
00:11:00I began to know your friends.
00:11:02I began to know your friends.
00:11:04And as the months went by,
00:11:06I began to know your friends.
00:11:08Many of them were women.
00:11:10Most of them.
00:11:14Lisa!
00:11:20Lisa!
00:11:22Where are you, Lisa?
00:11:28Aren't you going to finish your dinner?
00:11:34Thank you, Mother.
00:11:42What I really lived for
00:11:44were those evenings when you were alone,
00:11:46and I pretended you were playing just for me.
00:12:05And though you didn't know it,
00:12:07you were giving me some of the happiest hours of my life.
00:12:34¶¶
00:13:04¶¶
00:13:30Then came a great day for me.
00:13:32In the building where we lived,
00:13:34Thursday was rug beating day.
00:13:45Come on, let's help him.
00:13:47Oh, I've got to do my own rug.
00:13:49I'll do it for you afterwards. Come on.
00:13:57Remember what you promised.
00:13:59I will.
00:14:03Beautiful rug.
00:14:05It's a beautiful rug, isn't it?
00:14:07It's not just a rug.
00:14:09Oh, you wouldn't know.
00:14:13Say, what are we doing this for?
00:14:15Shh. He'll hear you.
00:14:17Aw, he can't talk.
00:14:19Well, he can hear, can't he?
00:14:21Come on.
00:14:33You're welcome.
00:14:35Come on, Nisa.
00:14:37I'll be right down.
00:14:39What are you going to do?
00:14:41Go away, I'll be right down.
00:14:43What are you going to do?
00:14:45Go away or I'll throw you downstairs.
00:14:47Are you crazy?
00:15:02Come on.
00:15:32Come on.
00:16:02Come on.
00:16:32Come on.
00:16:51Nisa.
00:16:57What are you doing up there?
00:16:59Come, dear.
00:17:01I've something to tell you.
00:17:03It's really good news.
00:17:05And I'm sure if you think about it sensibly,
00:17:07you'll be very, very happy.
00:17:13Sit down.
00:17:24Well...
00:17:27I can understand you must have been startled
00:17:29when you saw her customer and me in the hall.
00:17:31Perhaps it was my fault
00:17:33for not telling you something about it before.
00:17:36You see, dear,
00:17:38your mother is not really old.
00:17:40She can have admirers, too.
00:17:42She can even, well,
00:17:44be in love with a man.
00:17:46Someday you'll understand better what that means.
00:17:51Besides, you know how hard it is
00:17:53for us to get along on my small pension.
00:17:55Her customer has a comfortable business in Linz.
00:17:58A military tailor.
00:18:00And he has...
00:18:02He has done me the honor of asking me to marry him.
00:18:07Besides, he's a kind man,
00:18:09and he likes you very much.
00:18:11I'm sure with his help,
00:18:13it'll be much easier for you to make the kind of...
00:18:15Mother.
00:18:17What is it?
00:18:19Would we have to go to Linz?
00:18:21Would we have to live there?
00:18:23But why not?
00:18:25What is there to keep us here?
00:18:27Lisa!
00:18:29What's the matter?
00:18:31What is it?
00:18:33Lisa!
00:18:36Now, Lisa, do be reasonable and tell your mother.
00:18:40Lisa!
00:18:46But that will go with us in our compartment.
00:18:48Let's see. We had 11 altogether.
00:18:50One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
00:18:55Now, don't worry, dear. I'll take care of everything.
00:18:57The expressman promised the trunks at...
00:19:01Either I've lost half a minute or the station clock's ahead.
00:19:04How much will that be, please?
00:19:06That's up to you, sir.
00:19:07Up to me?
00:19:08One coin should be enough.
00:19:10I promise you the trunks will be here on time.
00:19:12About the boxes. One, two, three, four, five, six...
00:19:17How long will it take if we send them to Linz?
00:19:20Third class.
00:19:21Two weeks, maybe.
00:19:22Two weeks. Very good.
00:19:24Each of these, second class.
00:19:26Third class.
00:19:27Each of these, second class.
00:19:28Third class. Third class.
00:19:30Yes, one.
00:19:31Ah, what did I tell you?
00:19:33When you're going to do a thing, do it on time.
00:19:35That's always been my system.
00:19:37You can unload those right here.
00:19:39Our train doesn't leave until 12.
00:19:40Yes, 12.
00:19:41Or does it leave at 12?
00:19:42But sharp, sharp.
00:19:4312? Oh, yes, of course. I'd almost forgotten.
00:19:45Well, now let me see.
00:19:46I'll have to look at the baggage again.
00:19:48Now, please don't get excited, dear. Please.
00:19:50I'll take that.
00:19:53Here, you take something now.
00:19:55Suddenly I knew I couldn't live without you.
00:19:59I didn't know what I had in mind or what my parents would do when they found me missing.
00:20:05All I wanted was to see you once more.
00:20:08To be near you again.
00:20:09To throw myself at your feet and cling to you and never leave you.
00:20:13Nothing else. Nothing else mattered.
00:20:23All right, all right.
00:20:26Oh, it's you, Lisa.
00:20:28I thought by now you were already halfway to Linz.
00:20:32Didn't your train leave at 12?
00:20:34I forgot something.
00:20:52I forgot something.
00:21:22I forgot something.
00:21:53These rooms where I had lived had been filled with your music.
00:21:58Now they were empty.
00:22:00Would they ever come to life again?
00:22:03Would I?
00:22:05Only you could answer.
00:22:07So I waited.
00:22:09Waited.
00:22:12For what seemed endless hours, I sat outside your door,
00:22:16trying to keep myself awake.
00:22:18Afraid I might fall asleep and miss you.
00:22:20Then...
00:22:27Who is it?
00:22:28Brent.
00:22:29Good morning, Mr. Brent.
00:22:37I'm so sorry.

00:23:45I'm so sorry.
00:23:46I'm so sorry.
00:23:47I'm so sorry.
00:23:55Good morning, Colonel.
00:23:56Good morning, General.
00:23:59Good morning.
00:24:03Frau Kessler.
00:24:04Fräulein Kessler.
00:24:05Herr Kessler.
00:24:06May I have the honor to present my nephew, Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:11I have the honor to kiss your hand.
00:24:13I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:24:14Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:24:15Herr Kessler.
00:24:17I have the honor, sir.
00:24:18I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:24:19Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:24:21Allow me to present our daughter, Lisa.
00:24:23Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:33I've been meaning to tell you for some time how impressed I was with your parade
00:24:37the morning of the Emperor's birthday.
00:24:39Oh, excuse me.
00:24:46Do you like it here in Linz?
00:24:48Quite well.
00:24:50It must seem very restful after living in Vienna.
00:24:53I like Vienna.
00:24:55Indeed?
00:24:57What did you like about it?
00:25:02Perhaps you were fond of the music.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:05We also have good music here.
00:25:08Every other Saturday afternoon they give a concert on the Corso.
00:25:11Oh, really?
00:25:13Perhaps someday you'll allow me the honor to escort you.
00:25:16Very nice of you.
00:25:17When I was a cadet, I took part myself.
00:25:20I played second trumpet.
00:25:21Oh, how nice.
00:25:22I must say, I'm glad we both like music.
00:25:25You see, there's nothing wrong with a child if she only meets the right people.
00:25:38Up, up, up.
00:25:41Up, up, up.
00:25:48The lieutenant was right.
00:25:50Linz was a musical town.
00:25:52So twice a month that summer we listened, the lieutenant and I.
00:26:18Before the afternoon is over, I'm sure we'll have an announcement.
00:26:22Nothing could please us more, colonel.
00:26:24Is that right, my dear?
00:26:30Miss Lisa.
00:26:32This is a subject which I wish to bring up for some time.
00:26:35I trust you'll forgive me if I presume to mention a hope I've allowed myself.
00:26:39I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:41I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:43I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:45I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:48It may be unnecessary of me to mention that ever since you first came to my attention,
00:26:51I've been most favorably impressed.
00:26:54And I have every reason to believe that your parents are not opposed to my keeping company.
00:26:58That is, steady company with you.
00:26:59But lieutenant, I...
00:27:00Oh, please allow me to finish.
00:27:03As far as my prospects are concerned,
00:27:05you must be aware by now that it's generally believed by my uncle and others
00:27:08that I have the qualifications for an outstanding military career.
00:27:11There's no doubt of that.
00:27:12Naturally, it's too soon to discuss any definite steps.
00:27:14We should know each other for a reasonable time.
00:27:16Lieutenant, I'm sorry, it's impossible.
00:27:18Impossible?
00:27:20Please don't ask me to explain, but...
00:27:22But I certainly must insist.
00:27:23Is there someone else?
00:27:25Yes.
00:27:26I'm engaged to be married.
00:27:28Engaged to be married?
00:27:29I should have told you before, but I didn't realize how...
00:27:31The whole time you've been in Linz, I haven't seen you in anyone's company.
00:27:34He doesn't live in Linz. He lives in Vienna.
00:27:36In Vienna?
00:27:37He writes music. He's a musician.
00:27:39But how can that be?
00:27:40Your mother and father, they've given my uncle every encouragement.
00:27:43I don't know about it.
00:27:44You mean you're engaged to a man and your parents don't even know him?
00:27:48Oh.
00:27:50I'm sorry, I...
00:27:52Oh.
00:27:53Then...
00:27:54Please.
00:27:56It won't be long now.
00:27:57The wine!
00:27:58The wine! Waiter! The wine! The wine!
00:28:00The wine!
00:28:13Up! Up!
00:28:31But I don't understand.
00:28:32Lisa!
00:28:33What happened?
00:28:34Answer me.
00:28:35What happened?
00:28:36Nothing.
00:28:37But after all...
00:28:38But you must have said something.
00:28:39What did you say to him?
00:28:40Well, I... I only told him the truth.
00:28:42The truth?
00:28:43What do you mean, the truth?
00:28:44What did you say to him?
00:28:46I told him...
00:28:47I wasn't free.
00:28:49What?
00:28:50My poor parents.
00:28:51For them, this was the end of the world.
00:28:53The end of the world.
00:28:54The end of the world.
00:28:55The end of the world.
00:28:56The end of the world.
00:28:57The end of the world.
00:28:58My parents.
00:28:59For them, this was the end.
00:29:01For me, it was a new beginning.
00:29:07Vienna, when I saw it again,
00:29:09seemed to have taken on a new splendor.
00:29:12All the time I've been away,
00:29:14I thought of it longingly as your city.
00:29:17Now it was our city.
00:29:20Madame Spitzer's where I found work
00:29:22was the kind of establishment where one learns many things.
00:29:26Miss Lisa, please.
00:29:27Coming.
00:29:36Now.
00:29:38Hold your breath.
00:29:41Miss Lisa, we are waiting.
00:29:43Please.
00:29:56Very pretty.
00:29:57Yes.
00:29:59Very.
00:30:14Very charming.
00:30:15Very charming, indeed.
00:30:18Do you think...
00:30:19She's not like the others.
00:30:21I don't understand that girl,
00:30:22but every evening, as soon as the shutters are closed,
00:30:25off she goes.
00:30:26Straight home.
00:30:27Really?
00:30:33I'm sorry.
00:30:34I'm sorry.
00:30:35I'm sorry.
00:30:36I'm sorry.
00:30:37I'm sorry.
00:30:38I'm sorry.
00:30:39I'm sorry.
00:30:40I'm sorry.
00:30:41I'm sorry.
00:30:43Madame Spitzer spoke the truth.
00:30:45I was not like the others.
00:30:48Nobody waited for me.
00:30:52Off I went.
00:30:53Not home.
00:30:55But to the only place that had ever seemed home to me.
00:30:59Night after night,
00:31:01I returned to the same spot.
00:31:04But you never noticed me.
00:31:06Until one evening.
00:31:12I saw you.
00:31:13I saw you.
00:31:14I saw you.
00:31:15I saw you.

00:34:43I saw you.
00:34:44I saw you.
00:34:45I saw you.
00:34:46I saw you.
00:34:47I saw you.
00:34:50Ah, I see.
00:34:54I know it.
00:34:57I know.
00:34:58Don't be afraid.
00:34:59Even if it's not becoming, the lobster would pay no
00:35:01attention.
00:35:02Have a throw on it.
00:35:03It is becoming.
00:35:04When did they have lobster again?
00:35:06Friday. How about Friday?
00:35:08Oh, a week is a long time.
00:35:10How about Wednesday evening? That's venison.
00:35:12Or is pheasant on Monday?
00:35:14Could you possibly make it on Monday?
00:35:16I've no engagements at all.
00:35:18I don't either.
00:35:20We'll have dinner tomorrow night.
00:35:22Wiener schnitzel.
00:35:24Excuse me, Herr Brandt, but the lady in the next room,
00:35:26if I'm not mistaken, it's the Countess Rudensky,
00:35:28wonders if you would do her the favor
00:35:30of signing her program of this afternoon's concert.
00:35:32Certainly.
00:35:34She said Mozart himself could not have done better.
00:35:36How nice of her.
00:35:38There you are.
00:35:40Thank the Countess for the compliment.
00:35:42Thank you, Herr Brandt.
00:35:44Even though it's certainly the least deserved.
00:35:46Four years ago when you played the D minor.
00:35:48You remember that?
00:35:50The morning review also compared you to a young Mozart.
00:35:52I was very young. There was that much resemblance.
00:35:56Do you like it?
00:35:58Valpolicelli, it's called.
00:36:00The first vineyard you see
00:36:02when you come down the other side of the Alps.
00:36:04And the Italians say
00:36:06it's such a good wine because
00:36:08the grapes have their roots in the valley
00:36:10and their eyes on the mountains.
00:36:12Please.
00:36:14Please what?
00:36:16Please talk about yourself.
00:36:18I believe you really want to hear about me.
00:36:20Why?
00:36:22Oh, never mind why.
00:36:24Well, the truth is
00:36:26I've had rather an easy time of it.
00:36:28People accept my music
00:36:30very quickly.
00:36:32Perhaps too quickly.
00:36:34Sometimes it's easier
00:36:36to please others than oneself.
00:36:38What are you going to say?
00:36:40You know you don't talk very much.
00:36:42Well, I can't say it very well, but...
00:36:44Yes?
00:36:46Sometimes I felt
00:36:48when you were playing that...
00:36:50Go on.
00:36:52That you haven't quite found...
00:36:54I don't know what it is
00:36:56what you're looking for.
00:36:58How long
00:37:00have you been hiding in my piano?
00:37:02I never mind explaining.
00:37:04I just assume you're a sorceress
00:37:06and that you can make yourself
00:37:08very tiny.
00:37:10It might be a good thing
00:37:12to have a sorceress for a friend.
00:37:14Who knows?
00:37:16You may be able
00:37:18to help me someday.
00:37:24How could I help you?
00:37:26So that's what you've been thinking about.
00:37:28You're a very strange girl.
00:37:30Whoever you are
00:37:32and wherever you came from,
00:37:34don't you have any problems?
00:37:36Not important ones.
00:37:44It's been a long while
00:37:46since anyone did that for me.
00:37:48I don't know
00:37:50what it is
00:37:52you're looking for me.
00:37:56Stop here, please.
00:38:04Good evening, Mr. Brown.
00:38:06Good evening.
00:38:08Roses?
00:38:10Yes, please.
00:38:12Red roses?
00:38:14No, red is the wrong color.
00:38:16A single white rose.
00:38:18That's perfect.
00:38:20Thank you, Mr. Brown.
00:38:22Enjoy yourself.
00:38:26Did I guess right?
00:38:28Is it your flower?
00:38:30From now on, it will be.
00:38:32Would you like me to close it?
00:38:34No.
00:38:36And now to the pub, darling.
00:38:38Yep.
00:38:50Do you think it will all be closed?
00:38:52I hope not.
00:38:56I never come here in the season.
00:38:58It's more pleasant in the winter.
00:39:00I don't know why.
00:39:02It's perhaps because you prefer to imagine
00:39:04how it will be in the spring.
00:39:06Because if it is spring,
00:39:08then there's nothing to imagine,
00:39:10nothing to wish for.
00:39:12Is there anything about me you don't know?
00:39:14A few things.
00:39:16For instance, I don't know if one day
00:39:18they'll make a wax figure of you
00:39:20and put you in there because you'll be so famous.
00:39:22Well, if they do,
00:39:24will you pay your penny to come in and see me?
00:39:26If you'll come alive.
00:39:40Now I see you as a little girl.
00:39:42You do?
00:39:45When my father was alive,
00:39:47we traveled a lot.
00:39:49We went nearly everywhere.
00:39:51We had wonderful times.
00:39:53I didn't know you traveled so much.
00:39:55Oh, yes.
00:39:57Perhaps we've been to some of the same places.
00:39:59No, I don't think so.
00:40:01Where did you go?
00:40:03Well, it was a long time, but for instance,
00:40:05there was Rio de Janeiro,
00:40:07beautiful, exotic Rio with its botanical gardens,
00:40:09its Avenue of Palms, Sugarloaf Mountain,
00:40:11and the harbor where you could look down
00:40:14We're in Venice.
00:40:16Yes, we've arrived. Now, where would you like to go next?
00:40:18France, England, Russia?
00:40:20Switzerland.
00:40:22Switzerland. Excuse me a moment while I talk with the engineer.
00:40:29You and the lady, are you enjoying the trip?
00:40:31Very much. We've decided on Switzerland.
00:40:33Switzerland.
00:40:35There you are. Thank you.
00:40:37Oh, thank you.
00:40:39Switzerland.
00:40:41Switzerland.
00:40:43Switzerland.
00:41:05So you were looking down at the flying fish.
00:41:07Then what?
00:41:09Aren't you going to finish the trip?
00:41:11Well, there weren't any trips.
00:41:13Do you mind?
00:41:15You see, my father had a friend in a travel bureau.
00:41:17My father worked across the street.
00:41:19He was an assistant superintendent of the municipal waterworks.
00:41:21And he used to bring folders home with him
00:41:23with pictures in them. We have stacks of them.
00:41:25And in the evening, he'd put on his traveling coat.
00:41:27That's what he called it.
00:41:29Of course, I was very young.
00:41:31And he would say, where shall we go this evening?
00:41:33And I would say, Vera Cruz, because it's a beautiful name.
00:41:35And then he would say,
00:41:37it's summer there.
00:41:39You don't want to roast like a coffee bean, do you?
00:41:41So you never did get there?
00:41:43No, it was just like our trip to the land of the midnight sun.
00:41:45What stopped you this time?
00:41:47The weather. I thought of India,
00:41:49but then father remembered that it was the rainy season.
00:41:51Your father was an expert on climbers.
00:41:53My mother used to say that he knew what the weather was
00:41:55everywhere except home.
00:41:57What mountain was that?
00:41:59That's the Matterhorn.
00:42:01Have you climbed it?
00:42:03Tell me, when you climb up a mountain,
00:42:05what then?
00:42:07You come down again.
00:42:17Tell me more about your father.
00:42:19Well,
00:42:21then he finally did go away.
00:42:23He had the nicest eyes.
00:42:25Yes.
00:42:27I can see them.
00:42:29Why do you like to climb mountains?
00:42:31I suppose because
00:42:33no matter how high you climb,
00:42:35there's always a higher one.
00:42:37And you like to imagine that the other one's even more wonderful,
00:42:39like the spring that follows.
00:42:41Now, you know far too much about me already,
00:42:43and I know almost nothing about you, huh?
00:42:45Except that you travel a great deal.
00:42:49End of the line.
00:42:51All change.
00:42:53All change.
00:43:04What now?
00:43:06Where haven't we been?
00:43:08We have no more countries left.
00:43:10Then we'll begin all over again.
00:43:12There you are. Thank you.
00:43:14Oh, thank you.
00:43:16We'll revisit the scenes of our youth.
00:43:34I don't know about them,
00:43:36but I'm going home right after this number.
00:43:38Me too.
00:43:40They're paying me 50 kroner.
00:43:42I like to play for married people.
00:43:44They've got homes.
00:44:04You are a sorceress.
00:44:06Now I'm sure.
00:44:08How else could we dance this way?
00:44:10Unless we've danced together before.
00:44:14And yet if we had,
00:44:16I should have remembered.
00:44:26Please.
00:44:28No.
00:44:30No.
00:44:32Please.
00:45:03Promise me something.
00:45:05Anything.
00:45:07I don't even know where you live.
00:45:10Promise me you won't vanish.
00:45:12I won't be the one to vanish.
00:45:33We are here.
00:46:12Who is it?
00:46:14Frank.
00:46:16Good morning, Mr. Frank.
00:46:31Good morning.
00:47:01Please be seated.
00:47:03It will just be a moment.
00:47:05Lisa, leave it on.
00:47:07Someone wants to see it.
00:47:09A new costumer.
00:47:11Looks like a good one.
00:47:15It won't take one moment.
00:47:20You will like this one, I'm sure.
00:47:22I'm sure.
00:47:25I like it very much.
00:47:28Very much.
00:47:30How did you find me?
00:47:32I'm a good detective, don't you think?
00:47:34You are.
00:47:43I'm afraid we'll have to put off our plans for tonight.
00:47:47I couldn't go away without seeing you.
00:47:50Where are you going?
00:47:52Where are you going?
00:47:54Milano. The whole orchestra is going.
00:47:56I'm going to play at La Scala.
00:47:58That's wonderful.
00:48:01I'd forgotten all about it.
00:48:04It won't be long. Just two weeks.
00:48:07The train leaves at 5.30.
00:48:09Do you suppose you could see me off?
00:48:12I'll try.
00:48:14I'll look for you then.
00:48:16Goodbye. Thank you.
00:48:19Goodbye.
00:48:21You'll be there.
00:48:25How did it go?
00:48:27He wasn't interested in the suit, but...
00:48:29Madame Spitzer, could I leave a little earlier today?
00:48:32How early?
00:48:34About five.
00:48:36Yes, sure.
00:48:40Congratulations, my dear.
00:49:07Stefan, the train is leaving.
00:49:09Just a minute.
00:49:12How long have you been standing here?
00:49:15I don't want to go. Do you believe that?
00:49:18I'll be here when you get back.
00:49:21Yes.
00:49:22Stefan, hurry, please.
00:49:24I still know so little about you.
00:49:27You like mystery.
00:49:31A woman like you exists.
00:49:33And I found you.
00:49:35That's mystery enough.
00:49:38Say Stefan, the way you said it last night.
00:49:42Stefan.
00:49:44It's as though you said it all your life.
00:49:46Better hurry, sir.
00:49:47Yes.
00:49:49Bye.
00:49:50Stefan.
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:54Won't be long. I'll be back in two weeks.
00:50:01Goodbye. Two weeks.
00:50:15Two weeks.
00:50:17Stefan, how little you knew yourself.
00:50:20That train was taking you out of my life.
00:50:44I love you.
00:51:07He was a married man.
00:51:11Does he live here in Vienna?
00:51:14If we knew who he was, he might be willing to accept his responsibility.
00:51:23You won't tell us his name?
00:51:32But you haven't the means to take care of the child.
00:51:35We'll get along.
00:51:40It's your duty to tell us.
00:51:42When a man does the sort of thing...
00:51:44Please, I'm feeling tired. Would you go?
00:51:51You may wonder why I never came to you for help.
00:51:54I wanted to be one woman you had known...
00:51:57who asked you for nothing.
00:52:00My deep regret is that you never saw your son.
00:52:04There were times during those years...
00:52:06I prefer not to remember.
00:52:09But this I can assure you.
00:52:11Whatever the cost, he repaid me a thousand times.
00:52:16You would have been proud of him, too.
00:52:19When he was almost nine...
00:52:21as much for his sake as mine...
00:52:23I married.
00:52:25You know who my husband is.
00:52:27Johann Stauffer married me...
00:52:29knowing the truth about us and about our child.
00:52:32Oh, how lovely. Thank you, Johann.
00:52:36What a nice birthday.
00:52:38This and Stefan home.
00:52:40You know, I'm not good at saying such things, but...
00:52:44Lisa, I want you to be as happy as you've made me.
00:52:47If I were really a deserving wife, I'd be ready on time.
00:52:53You are happy?
00:53:00You are?
00:53:02Why shouldn't I be?
00:53:06Let's say good night.
00:53:11Hello.
00:53:12Still another talent?
00:53:16He has a lot of talents, but not for finishing his milk.
00:53:19May I see it?
00:53:23Or for brushing his teeth?
00:53:25Made in Switzerland?
00:53:27Switzerland must be a very nice place, don't you think?
00:53:30Who gave it to you, darling?
00:53:32Herr Frank.
00:53:33Who is Herr Frank?
00:53:34His music teacher.
00:53:35He said he thinks I was a natural talent.
00:53:37For the harmonica?
00:53:39No, for music.
00:53:41Oh.
00:53:44Good night, Stefan.
00:53:45Good night, sir.
00:53:49Good night, darling.
00:53:50Good night, mother.
00:53:56Mother!
00:53:58I'll be right down.
00:54:02Yes?
00:54:03You remember the last time, first night I was home from school?
00:54:06What about it?
00:54:07When you went out, you let me sleep in your room.
00:54:10All right, it's a special concession because it's your first night home.
00:54:13But hurry, I'm late.
00:54:20In just a minute.
00:54:21There's no hurry.
00:54:23Good night, sir.
00:54:24Good night.
00:54:31You know, Stefan, it might be nice if you could say good night, father,
00:54:35instead of good night, sir.
00:54:37But I've always said it that way.
00:54:39I think he'd like it if you could manage a change.
00:54:41Supposing you said to me good night, madam.
00:54:44It would sound pretty silly, wouldn't it?
00:54:46Now promise me that you'll go to sleep and not wait up for me.
00:54:49I promise.
00:54:50Will you bring me a program of the opera?
00:54:52I promise.
00:54:56Good night, madam.
00:54:58Good night, sir.
00:55:00After all, when a person treats you so much like his son,
00:55:03he is, in a sense, your father.
00:55:05All right, mother, if you say so.
00:55:07Good night.
00:55:08Good night.
00:55:18The course of our lives can be changed by such little things.
00:55:23So many passing by, each intent on his own problems.
00:55:27So many faces that one might easily have been lost.
00:55:33I know now.
00:55:35Nothing happens by chance.
00:55:38Every moment is measured.
00:55:40Every step is counted.
00:55:45Curtain. Curtain going up.
00:55:47Second act. Second act.
00:55:49Curtain. Curtain going up. Second act.
00:55:51Second act.
00:55:53Look, isn't that Stefan Bright?
00:55:56He returned last week. A concert tour?
00:55:58Pleasure trip, most likely.
00:56:00The way he's burning himself up, it's a wonder he's still alive.
00:56:06Ten years ago, he showed great promise.
00:56:09Too bad.
00:56:11With that talent, he could have been a great pianist.
00:56:14Perhaps talent is not enough.
00:56:16Perhaps he has too many talents.
00:56:18Second act. Curtain going up.
00:56:31Sorry, we don't have time. We're going to a buffet.
00:56:35You know the colonel and his cognac.
00:56:37General Hersendorf was asking for you.
00:56:39You've made a conquest.
00:56:41My dear, you should have joined us.
00:57:01Suddenly, in that one moment,
00:57:04everything was in danger.
00:57:06Everything I thought was safe.
00:57:09Somewhere out there were your eyes,
00:57:11and I knew I couldn't escape them.
00:57:16It was like the first time I saw you.
00:57:18The years between were melting away.
00:57:24I have a headache.
00:57:27I have a headache.
00:57:29No, please don't. I'll be all right if I lie down.
00:57:31Please stay here.
00:57:48Would you be kind enough to give my husband a message?
00:57:50He's in 17th.
00:57:52Not now, but after this act, tell him
00:57:54I have decided to go home and not to worry.
00:58:08Could you call my carriage, please?
00:58:10Yes, madam.
00:58:12The side entrance.
00:58:14Yes, ma'am.
00:58:24Excuse me.
00:58:26You must realize, where there is a pursuit,
00:58:28there must also be a pursuer.
00:58:30I've seen you somewhere.
00:58:32I know.
00:58:34I know.
00:58:36I've seen you.
00:58:38I've seen you.
00:58:40I've seen you.
00:58:42I've seen you.
00:58:44I've seen you.
00:58:46I've seen you.
00:58:48I've seen you.
00:58:50I've seen you.
00:58:52I've seen you somewhere.
00:58:54I know.
00:58:56I followed you upstairs and watched you in your box.
00:58:58But I couldn't place you.
00:59:00And I had to speak with you.
00:59:04I know how this sounds.
00:59:06I assure you, in this case, it's true.
00:59:08You believe that, don't you?
00:59:10Yes.
00:59:14Now, please, just a moment.
00:59:16Is there any place we could have met that I might have seen you
00:59:18at one of my concerts?
00:59:20It must have been some time ago.
00:59:22I haven't given any concerts in Vienna lately.
00:59:24Or anywhere else, for that matter.
00:59:28You don't play anymore?
00:59:30It's not quite as final as that.
00:59:32I always tell myself,
00:59:34I'll begin again next week.
00:59:36And then when next week comes, it's this week.
00:59:38So I wait for next week again.
00:59:40What are you waiting for?
00:59:42That's a very disturbing question.
00:59:44My carriage.
00:59:46You can't ask such a question and just walk away.
00:59:48I have a feeling.
00:59:50Please don't think I'm mad.
00:59:52I know it sounds strange,
00:59:54and I can't explain it.
00:59:56But I feel that you understand
00:59:58what I can't even say.
01:00:00And that you can help me.
01:00:04Have you...
01:00:06Have you ever shuffled faces
01:00:08like cards,
01:00:10hoping to find the one
01:00:12that lies somewhere
01:00:14just over the edge of your memory?
01:00:16The one you've been waiting for.
01:00:20Well, tonight, when I first saw you,
01:00:22and later when I watched you in the darkness,
01:00:24it was as though I'd found
01:00:26that one face among all others.
01:00:30Who are you?
01:00:34Promise I'll see you again.
01:00:36I must see you.
01:00:38I don't know.
01:00:46I don't know.
01:01:02Johan, you don't think I wanted this to happen?
01:01:04No.
01:01:08What are you going to do?
01:01:10I don't know.
01:01:12Liza,
01:01:14we have a marriage.
01:01:16Perhaps it's not all you once hoped for,
01:01:18but you have a home
01:01:20and your son
01:01:22and people who care for you.
01:01:24I know that, Johan.
01:01:26I'd do anything to avoid hurting you,
01:01:28but I can't help it.
01:01:32And your son,
01:01:34do you think you can avoid hurting him?
01:01:36He won't be harmed, I'll see to that.
01:01:42There are such things as
01:01:44honor and decency.
01:01:48I've told myself that a hundred times this one evening.
01:01:50You talk as though it were out of your hands.
01:01:52It's not, Liza.
01:01:54You have a will.
01:01:56You can do what's right,
01:01:58what's best for you,
01:02:00or you can throw away your life.
01:02:02I've had no will but his, ever.
01:02:04That's romantic nonsense.
01:02:06Is it?
01:02:08Johan, I can't help it.
01:02:10I can't, please believe that.
01:02:12What about him?
01:02:14Can't he help himself either?
01:02:18I know now that he
01:02:20needs me as much as I've always needed him.
01:02:22Isn't it a little late for him
01:02:24to find that out?
01:02:26We're home, sir.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:42Good night, sir.
01:02:58Liza,
01:03:00if you do this,
01:03:02you can never turn back.
01:03:04You know that, don't you?
01:03:06Yes.
01:03:10I warn you.
01:03:12I shall do everything in my power
01:03:14to prevent it.
01:03:40Hello, darling.
01:03:42Wake up.
01:03:44It's time to go in your own room.
01:03:52Did you have a nice time?
01:03:54Yes, darling.
01:03:58Good night, Father.
01:04:00Good night.
01:04:02Did you hear?
01:04:04I just said it.
01:04:06Yes, darling.
01:04:08Tell me about the opera.
01:04:10Was it exciting?
01:04:20How's that?
01:04:22You're wonderful.
01:04:24You're wonderful.
01:04:28You've always been a wonderful boy.
01:04:30You don't know how much
01:04:32that's meant to me,
01:04:34to be so proud of you always.
01:04:36I know it.
01:05:06Don't worry, Mother.
01:05:08You'll see.
01:05:10Two weeks will go like an express train.
01:05:12You're sure you're coming?
01:05:14Of course, I promised.
01:05:16You can even get my room in the village for me.
01:05:18I'll get you the same one you had last time,
01:05:20the one with the balcony.
01:05:22Didn't I tell you that compartment was quarantined?
01:05:28I'm sorry, ma'am,
01:05:30but this compartment has to be closed up.
01:05:32I'll take you to the next car, Forty.
01:05:34That's good.
01:05:36I'll be near the locomotive.
01:05:38I'll take you, Forty.
01:05:42Do we have two locomotives on our train?
01:05:44We usually get along with one,
01:05:46but I'll talk to the engineer.
01:05:48How about that?
01:05:50You can have two seats in there.
01:05:52He's traveling alone.
01:05:54Don't worry, ma'am.
01:05:56I'll take good care of him.
01:05:58We leave in about a minute.
01:06:00Better hurry and get your seat, sir.
01:06:02And if you get chilly, put out the window.
01:06:04Yes, ma'am.
01:06:06Stephanie,
01:06:08you know how I've longed
01:06:10so for your being home,
01:06:12and now I can't even explain it.
01:06:14Maybe someday, very soon,
01:06:16I'll be able to give you a reason.
01:06:18But now,
01:06:20I just have to believe that it's for your own good.
01:06:22I don't mind going back so much,
01:06:24especially when you're coming so soon.
01:06:26It'll be like two vacations.
01:06:28All right, darling.
01:06:30I'll show you the new book we found
01:06:32since you were there last time, yeah?
01:06:34Better get out, lady.
01:06:42You write often, my child?
01:06:44Yes, Mother, but I can't write very often,
01:06:46not in two weeks.
01:06:50Goodbye, Mother. Two weeks!
01:07:00Goodbye, Mother.
01:07:26Make way, please.
01:07:30Make way, please.
01:07:32What is it? What happened?
01:07:34Someone hurt?
01:07:36No reason to get alarmed.
01:07:38They say it's a case of typhus.
01:07:40Typhus?
01:07:42Yes, typhus, on the train.
01:07:44Typhus?
01:08:00Yes, ma'am?
01:08:02It's Mr. Brand. It's Stefan Brand.
01:08:04Brand?
01:08:08One moment, please.
01:08:10Fritz!
01:08:15Could you tell me,
01:08:17has Mr. Brand been here this evening?
01:08:19Oh, Mr. Brand is no longer a customer of ours.
01:08:21Not for some time.
01:08:23Mr. Brand these days is more likely
01:08:25to be found at the Ritz.
01:08:45Good evening, ma'am.
01:08:47I still have nice flowers left.
01:08:49I'm closing up,
01:08:51and I'll sell you a nice bouquet,
01:08:53very cheap.
01:09:01I'll take those.
01:09:05I'll take those.
01:09:13I'll take those.
01:09:15The white ones.
01:09:17Don't bother to wrap them up, as a matter...
01:10:05Now you can drive on.
01:10:34Stefan Brand is here.
01:11:36Well, this is a surprise,
01:11:38but I assure you, a very happy one.
01:11:40You didn't prepare me for such a pleasant occasion.
01:11:45I thought last night
01:11:47the darkness might have played tricks with my eyes.
01:11:51You're even more beautiful than I imagined.
01:11:54Very kind of you.
01:11:56Now, this is just the hour for a little late supper.
01:11:58Or is it too late?
01:12:00Well, it makes no difference. You're here.
01:12:02And as far as I'm concerned,
01:12:04all the clocks in the world have stopped.
01:12:06Excuse me a moment.
01:12:09John, I'm sorry to send you out so late.
01:12:11Would you go down to the corner and get a few things?
01:12:13We're going to have some supper.
01:12:15The usual things.
01:12:24John makes life possible for a hopelessly single man.
01:12:28She fascinates you, too.
01:12:30You remember,
01:12:32the Greeks built a statue to a god they didn't know,
01:12:34but hoped someday would come to them.
01:12:36Well, mine happens to be a goddess.
01:12:38And you never found her?
01:12:40For years.
01:12:42I never woke in the morning,
01:12:44but what I said to myself,
01:12:46perhaps today she will come,
01:12:48and my life will really begin.
01:12:51Sometimes it seemed very near.
01:12:54Well, now I'm older and I know better.
01:13:01Even for yourself, you don't play anymore.
01:13:03Oh, I remember.
01:13:05Last night you were kind enough to be interested.
01:13:07I forgot.
01:13:09John locked it when I went away.
01:13:11Nowadays I'm away quite a lot of the time.
01:13:13I'll ask him for the key when he comes back.
01:13:17You're very lovely.
01:13:19Beautiful dress.
01:13:23How could you do that, give it up altogether?
01:13:25If you're so curious, I'll tell you.
01:13:29One night I came back to this room.
01:13:31I'd given a concert, like all the others.
01:13:33Not better, not worse.
01:13:35Afterwards they said all the usual things.
01:13:39The things you say when you're not really convinced.
01:13:43So I happened to look in the mirror, this one here.
01:13:47The young prodigy was no longer young.
01:13:49Certainly wasn't prodigious.
01:13:53Since then, I found other things to do.
01:13:55More amusing things.
01:14:03I knew last night.
01:14:05Didn't you?
01:14:25I haven't even offered to fix you a drink.
01:14:29Stefan.
01:14:31Yes?
01:14:33I came here, I have something to tell you.
01:14:35If it has to do with you, I'm very interested.
01:14:37It has to do with us.
01:14:39No, we can't possibly be serious this early in the morning.
01:14:43At least not without a glass of champagne.
01:14:45It won't take a minute.
01:14:49Champagne tastes much better after midnight, don't you think?
01:14:51Much better.
01:14:53I just came back from America.
01:14:55It's a fascinating country.
01:14:57The men are fond of money.
01:14:59I'm fond of Europeans.
01:15:01It must have been a wonderful trip.
01:15:03Do you travel a great deal?
01:15:07Well, I suppose you won't believe me.
01:15:09But I couldn't get you out of my mind all day.
01:15:13No, I don't believe you.
01:15:15If only I'd known you were coming.
01:15:17To tell you the truth,
01:15:19I never dared hope you could arrange it so soon.
01:15:21But you're so clever.
01:15:23You manage so beautifully.
01:15:25You know, you're a very strange woman.
01:15:27Am I?
01:15:29Something you said last night
01:15:31keeps running through my mind.
01:15:33What was that?
01:15:35I'll tell you in just a moment.
01:15:37As soon as I get the ice.
01:15:41Are you getting lonely out there?
01:15:43Very lonely.
01:15:51I've come to tell you about us.
01:15:53To offer you my whole life.
01:15:57You didn't even remember me.
01:16:27Take you somewhere, young lady?
01:16:29Anywhere at all?
01:16:31Makes no difference.
01:16:57I don't remember where I went.
01:16:59Time moved past me.
01:17:01Not in days or in hours.
01:17:03But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:07And I could think again.
01:17:09I went to my son.
01:17:11But it was too late.
01:17:13He died last night.
01:17:15I don't remember where I went.
01:17:17Time moved past me.
01:17:19Not in days or in hours.
01:17:21But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:23And I could think again.
01:17:25He died last night.
01:17:27Of typhus.
01:17:29Without even knowing I was there.
01:17:31Now I'm alone.
01:17:35My head throbs and my temples are burning.
01:17:39Perhaps God has been kind
01:17:41and I too have caught the fever.
01:17:45If this letter reaches you,
01:17:47believe this.
01:17:49That I love you now as I've always loved you.
01:17:51My life can be measured
01:17:53by the moments I've had with you and our child.
01:17:57If only you could have shared those moments.
01:18:01If only you could have recognized what was always yours.
01:18:05If only you could have found what was never lost.
01:18:07If only.
