00:00Only when these pieces fall into place will you learn what drove this man to commit deliberate
00:16murder, what drove this girl into the arms of a perfect stranger, what made Robert Mitchum
00:22the man in the middle of an incredible web of intrigue.
00:25You'll have another witnesses, Barney, we couldn't play it down, the effect on morale
00:34was devastating.
00:35But damn it, you can't put a whole army under lock and key.
00:38So for the sake of this theater, the alliance and the war, Lieutenant Winston will be tried,
00:42found guilty and hanged.
00:44The sensational bestseller comes to the screen, an affair so bizarre that its shockwaves reverberated
00:51from Washington to London to remotest India, leaving this man in a deadly, desperate spot.
00:59The spot I occupy in a situation so tense that one false move can mean the difference
01:04between somebody's life and death.
01:06You see, I'm the man in the middle of an affair so loaded with tension and intrigue that one
01:12misstep, one wrong word can doom a man who does not deserve to die.
01:17I'm the man in the middle of a new motion picture which stars the greatest cast that
01:22has ever been my privilege to work with.
01:25France Nguyen.
01:26I am part French, part Chinese.
01:28Can't you imagine how much I despise the Winstons of this world?
01:33But I couldn't be his executioner.
01:36Barry Sullivan.
01:37You do your job, Colonel, like it or not, you do it and you do it the army's way, yes?
01:42Trevor Howard.
01:43He's mad, old chap.
01:45The man's a paranoid.
01:47He's an incurable psychopath.
01:48If you're so sure that Winston is insane, why haven't you come forward and said so?
01:52Well, why the hell should I?
01:55I have been specially ordered to keep my nose out of it, old man, that I'll do.
02:00Alexander Knox.
02:01If you wish to interview Major Kaufman, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to do it on his
02:05own time.
02:06Colonel Burton.
02:07I am the defending officer in the trial for a man's life.
02:11I don't know what your powers are in this theater, but believe me, mine are greater.
02:15There is no one, repeat, no one whose presence is forbidden to me from General Kenton himself
02:20on downward.
02:21That goes for Major Kaufman, and bank on this, it goes for you too.
02:25And Keenan Wynn.
02:26I'm sane!
02:27I'm the only one here who is sane!
02:30I'm sane, you lousy, limey quack, well, tell him I'm sane!
02:34And you, yeah, you'll get yours.
02:35You'll get yours!
02:39Whatever it is that triggers a man into murder, whatever it is that explodes love into passion,
02:46If you want to put your conscience on my pillow, it's all right by me.
02:53Whatever it is that overwhelms the emotions as it completely overpowers the screen, you'll
02:59find in Man in the Middle.
