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.
00:05:00I think everyone has two birthdays. The day of his physical birth and the beginning of his conscious life.
00:05:08Nothing 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.
00:05:18I wondered about our new neighbor who owns such beautiful things.
00:05:42Lisa. 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 told you we shouldn't drive to the lake.
00:06:02You better get another rope.
00:06:04What?
00:06:06You better get another rope.
00:06:08All right.
00:06:10This is the last time I move a musician.
00:06:12Why does he have to play the piano?
00:06:14Why not the piccolo?
00:06:22Where do these go?
00:06:25What?
00:06:31Aha, in the stuff.
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.
00:07:00I didn't see you that day or for many days thereafter, but I could listen to your playing.
00:07:30I wish he'd stop that noise.
00:07:33It's not noise.
00:07:35Don't bite my head off.
00:07:37It's Mr. Brown playing.
00:07:40Call that flanks.
00:07:41Shh.
00:07:50Hello, Dizzy.
00:07:53Who?
00:07:55Him.
00:07:57Oh, I don't know.
00:07:59Quite old, I guess.
00:08:01Oh.
00:08:03You know the boy I was talking to outside of school?
00:08:06The boney one with the yellow hair and the long nose.
00:08:09The one who lives next to the grocery.
00:08:11I'm going to have to do something about him if he doesn't keep his hands to himself.
00:08:18He thinks he does.
00:08:19He's right out in the street.
00:08:46Thank you, John.
00:09:05I'll be home late.
00:09:07You need to wait up.
00:09:22Good morning.
00:09:35Why, Lisa.
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, from 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 so you wouldn't be ashamed of me.
00:10:04I went to dancing school.
00:10:07I wanted to become more graceful and 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.
00:10:45Though I was not able to go to your concerts, I found ways of sharing in your success.
00:10:57And as the months went by, I began to know your friends.
00:11:06Many of them were women.
00:11:08Most of them.
00:11:10Lisa!
00:11:14Lisa!
00:11:20Where are you, Lisa?
00:11:21Where are you, Lisa?
00:11:27Aren't you going to finish your dinner?
00:11:33I'm sorry, Mother.
00:11:41What I really lived for were 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, you were giving me some of the happiest hours of my life.
00:12:17I love you, Lisa.
00:12:21I love you, Lisa.
00:12:25I love you, Lisa.
00:12:29I love you, Lisa.
00:12:33I love you, Lisa.
00:12:37I love you, Lisa.
00:12:41I love you, Lisa.
00:12:46I love you, Lisa.
00:12:50I love you, Lisa.
00:12:54I love you, Lisa.
00:12:58I love you, Lisa.
00:13:02I love you, Lisa.
00:13:06I love you, Lisa.
00:13:12I love you, Lisa.
00:13:18I love you, Lisa.
00:13:24I love you, Lisa.
00:13:30Then came a great day for me.
00:13:33In the building where we lived, Thursday was rug beating day.
00:13:46Come on, let's help him.
00:13:47Oh, I've got to do my own work.
00:13:49I'll do it for you afterwards. Come on.
00:13:58Remember what you promised.
00:13:59I will.
00:14:04Beautiful rug.
00:14:07It's a beautiful rug, isn't it?
00:14:09It's just a rug.
00:14:10Oh, you wouldn't know.
00:14:14Say, what are we doing this for?
00:14:16Shh, he'll hear you.
00:14:17Oh, he can't talk.
00:14:19Well, he can hear, can't he?
00:14:21Come on.
00:14:33You're welcome.
00:14:36Come on, Lisa.
00:14:37I'll be right down.
00:14:38What are you going to do?
00:14:39Go away, I'll be right down.
00:14:41What are you going to do?
00:14:42Go away or I'll throw you downstairs.
00:14:46Are you crazy?
00:15:03Oh, my God.
00:15:33Oh, my God.
00:16:03Oh, my God.
00:16:33Lisa.
00:16:51Lisa.
00:16:57What are you doing up there?
00:17:00Come, dear.
00:17:01I have something to tell you.
00:17:03It's really good news.
00:17:06And I'm sure if you think about it sensibly, you'll be very, very happy.
00:17:13Sit down.
00:17:24Well...
00:17:27I can understand you must have been startled when you saw her cousin and me in the hall.
00:17:32Perhaps it was my fault for not telling you something about it before.
00:17:37You see, dear, your mother is not really old.
00:17:41She can have admirers, too.
00:17:42She can even...
00:17:44Well, be in love with a man.
00:17:47Someday you'll understand better what that means.
00:17:52Besides, you know how hard it is for us to get along on my small pension.
00:17:56Her cousin has a comfortable business in Linz, a military tailor.
00:18:01And he has...
00:18:04He has done me the honor of asking me to marry him.
00:18:09Besides, he's a kind man and he likes you very much.
00:18:12I'm sure with his help it'll be much easier for you to make the kind of...
00:18:15Mother.
00:18:17What is it?
00:18:18Would we have to go to Linz?
00:18:20Would we have to live there?
00:18:22But why not?
00:18:23What is there to keep us here?
00:18:24I won't go.
00:18:26Lisa!
00:18:28What's the matter?
00:18:30What is it?
00:18:31Lisa!
00:18:35Now, Lisa, do be reasonable and tell your mother.
00:18:39Lisa!
00:18:45But that will go with us in our compartment.
00:18:47Let's see, we had 11 altogether.
00:18:491, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
00:18:54And the trunks, dear.
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?
00:19:05That's up to you, sir.
00:19:06Up to me?
00:19:08One coin should be enough, that's the least.
00:19:10I promise you the trunks will be here on time.
00:19:12About the boxes.
00:19:131, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
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.
00:19:23Very good.
00:19:24Mark each of these second class.
00:19:26Third class.
00:19:27Each of these second class.
00:19:28Third class.
00:19:29Third 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 o'clock, darling.
00:19:41Or does it leave at 12?
00:19:42But sharp, sharp.
00:19:4312?
00:19:44Oh, yes, of course, I'd almost forgotten.
00:19:45Well, now let me see.
00:19:46I'll have to look for the baggage.
00:19:48Now, please don't get excited, dear, please.
00:19:50I'll take care of it.
00:19:52Here, 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.
00:20:04All I wanted was to see you once more.
00:20:07To be near you again, to throw myself at your feet and cling to you and never leave you.
00:20:13Nothing else.
00:20:14Nothing else mattered.
00:20:22All right, all right.
00:20:26Oh, it's you, Lisa.
00:20:28I thought by now you were already halfway to Linz.
00:20:31Didn't your train leave about...
00:20:33I forgot something.
00:20:51I'm sorry.
00:21:21I'm sorry.
00:21:52These rooms where I had lived had been filled with your music.
00:21:57Now they were empty.
00:21:59Would they ever come to life again?
00:22:02Would I?
00:22:04Only you could answer.
00:22:06So I waited.
00:22:08Waited.
00:22:11For what seemed endless hours, I sat outside your door, trying to find you.
00:22:17For what seemed endless hours, I sat outside your door, trying to keep myself awake.
00:22:23Afraid I might fall asleep and miss you.
00:22:25Then...
00:22:32Who is it?
00:22:33Brent.
00:22:34Good morning, Mr. Brent.
00:22:46Good morning.
00:22:47Good morning.
00:22:48Good morning.
00:22:49Good morning.
00:22:50Good morning.
00:22:51Good morning.
00:22:52Good morning.
00:22:53Good morning.
00:22:54Good morning.
00:22:55Good morning.
00:22:56Good morning.
00:22:57Good morning.
00:22:58Good morning.
00:22:59Good morning.
00:23:00Good morning.
00:23:01Good morning.
00:23:02Good morning.
00:23:03Good morning.
00:23:04Good morning.
00:23:05Good morning.
00:23:06Good morning.
00:23:07Good morning.
00:23:08Good morning.
00:23:09Good morning.
00:23:10Good morning.
00:23:11Good morning.
00:23:12Good morning.
00:23:13Good morning.
00:23:14Good morning.
00:23:16And so there was nothing left for me.
00:23:19I went to Linz.
00:23:29You who have always lived so freely, have you any idea what life is like in a little garrison town?
00:23:37I was 18 now, and was expected to take my place in society.
00:23:41Come now, Lisa, don't look down at your feet.
00:23:44Please be tactful and let him do the talking, but not all the talking.
00:23:48Do you hear me, Lisa?
00:23:50Good morning, Colonel.
00:23:51Good morning, General.
00:23:54Good morning.
00:23:58Frau Kessler.
00:23:59Fräulein Kessler.
00:24:00Herr Kessler.
00:24:01May I have the honor to present my nephew, Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:06Herr Kessler.
00:24:07May 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.
00:24:15Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:24:16Herr Kessler.
00:24:17I have the honor, sir.
00:24:18I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:24:20Thank you, Lieutenant, thank you.
00:24:22Allow me to present our daughter, Lisa.
00:24:23Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:25I can't wait to tell you how impressed I was with your parade the morning of the Emperor's birthday.
00:24:39Oh, excuse me.
00:24:46Do you like it here in Linz?
00:24:48Quite well.
00:24:51It must seem very restful after living in Vienna.
00:24:54I like Vienna.
00:24:56Indeed?
00:24:58What did you like about it?
00:25:02Perhaps you were fond of the music.
00:25:04Yes.
00:25:06We also have good music here.
00:25:09Every other Saturday afternoon they give a concert on the Corso.
00:25:12Oh, really?
00:25:14Perhaps someday you'll allow me the honour of escorting you.
00:25:17Very nice of you.
00:25:19When I was a cadet I took part myself. I played second trumpet.
00:25:22Oh, how nice.
00:25:23I must say, I'm glad we both like music.
00:25:26You see, there's nothing wrong with a child if he only meets the right people.
00:25:39Up, up, up.
00:25:42Up, up, up.
00:25:43Up, up.
00:25:49The lieutenant was right. Linz was a musical town.
00:25:53So twice a month that summer we listened, the lieutenant and I.
00:26:14Before the afternoon is over, I'm sure we'll have an announcement.
00:26:18Nothing could please us more, colonel.
00:26:28Miss Lisa.
00:26:30This is a subject which I wish to bring up for some time.
00:26:33It's a matter of great importance to me.
00:26:36It's a matter of great importance to me.
00:26:39It's a matter of great importance to me.
00:26:41It's a subject which I wish to bring up for some time.
00:26:44I trust you'll forgive me if I presume to mention I hope I've allowed myself.
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 favourably 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.
00:27:16But lieutenant, 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, is there someone else?
00:27:25Yes.
00:27:27I'm engaged to be married.
00:27:28Engaged to be married?
00:27:29I should have told you before, but I didn't realise 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.
00:27:44You 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, please.
00:27:56It won't be long now.
00:27:57The wine!
00:27:58Waiter, the wine, the wine!
00:28:07APPLAUSE
00:28:13Up!
00:28:14Up!
00:28:38But I don't understand.
00:28:40Lisa!
00:28:41What happened?
00:28:42Answer me.
00:28:43What happened?
00:28:44Nothing.
00:28:45But after all...
00:28:46But you must have said something.
00:28:47What did you say to him?
00:28:48Well, I only told him the truth.
00:28:49The truth?
00:28:50What do you mean, the truth?
00:28:51What did you say to him?
00:28:53I told him I wasn't free.
00:28:56What?
00:28:57My poor parents.
00:28:59For them, this was the end.
00:29:01For me, it was a new beginning.
00:29:03Vienna, when I saw it again, seemed to have taken on a new splendor.
00:29:08All the time I'd been away, I thought of it longingly as your city.
00:29:13Now it was our city.
00:29:16Madame Spitzer's, where I found work,
00:29:18was the kind of establishment where one learns many things.
00:29:22Miss Lisa, please.
00:29:24Coming.
00:29:33Now.
00:29:35Hold your breath.
00:29:38Miss Lisa, we are waiting.
00:29:53Very pretty.
00:29:54Yes.
00:29:56Very.
00:29:57Yes.
00:29:59Very.
00:30:24Very charming.
00:30:25Very charming indeed.
00:30:27Do you think...
00:30:28She's not like the others.
00:30:30I don't understand that girl, but every evening, as soon as the shutters are closed,
00:30:34off she goes, straight home.
00:30:36Really?
00:30:42Madame Spitzer spoke the truth.
00:30:45I was not like the others.
00:30:47Nobody waited for me.
00:30:51Off I went.
00:30:52Not home.
00:30:53But to the only place that had ever seemed home to me.
00:30:58Night after night, I returned to the same spot.
00:31:02But you never noticed me.
00:31:04Until one evening.
00:31:23I was lost.
00:31:25I was lost.
00:31:27I was lost.
00:31:29I was lost.
00:31:31I was lost.
00:31:33I was lost.
00:31:35I was lost.
00:31:37I was lost.
00:31:39I was lost.
00:31:41I was lost.
00:31:43I was lost.
00:31:45I was lost.
00:31:47I was lost.
00:31:49I was lost.
00:31:51I was lost.
00:31:53I was lost.
00:31:55I was lost.
00:32:19I've seen you before.
00:32:21A few nights ago.
00:32:24Right here.
00:32:26Or you live near here?
00:32:28No.
00:32:31You like to listen to street singers?
00:32:34Yes.
00:32:35Neither do I.
00:32:41I should introduce myself.
00:32:42No.
00:32:43I know who you are.
00:32:54Sooner or later, we'll have to decide where we're going.
00:32:59I have something to tell you.
00:33:02I almost never get to the place I start anyway.
00:33:23Excuse me.
00:33:46Pardon me.
00:33:50Very charming.
00:33:52Is there anything else I can do for you, Mr. Brandt?
00:33:54Will you please tell Bally I won't be at rehearsal this evening?
00:33:57Oh, congratulations.
00:33:59Fritz!
00:34:00Is the journal free now?
00:34:02Just a moment, sir.
00:34:03Don't you see I'm busy with Mr. Brandt?
00:34:05Now, how about Lily?
00:34:07Yes, there is Lily.
00:34:08Yes, there is Lily.
00:34:09I mean, if she comes, what am I going to tell her?
00:34:11Well, tell her...
00:34:13I'll tell her it was most important and you had to work tonight.
00:34:16Yes, that's it. That's fine.
00:34:17I'm sure she will understand.
00:34:18I'm sure. Thank you.
00:34:20Oh, Stefan.
00:34:21Yes?
00:34:22I missed you yesterday.
00:34:23I have to talk with you.
00:34:24Well, later.
00:34:25I saw the manuscript of the concerto.
00:34:27It's a young man I met.
00:34:28Well...
00:34:29His father owns half of the car in Tochumbo.
00:34:31I thought perhaps it was something for one of your concerts.
00:34:35If you just glance at it...
00:34:36Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:34:37Tomorrow.
00:34:51Don't be frightened.
00:34:52Even if it's not becoming,
00:34:53the lobster will pay no attention.
00:34:56I was wrong.
00:34:57It is becoming.
00:34:58Now, let's see.
00:34:59When did they have lobster again?
00:35:01Friday.
00:35:02How about Friday?
00:35:03Oh, a week is a long time.
00:35:05How about Wednesday evening?
00:35:06That's venison.
00:35:07Or is pheasant on Monday?
00:35:09Could you possibly make it on Monday?
00:35:11I have no engagements at all.
00:35:14I don't either.
00:35:15I don't either.
00:35:16I don't either.
00:35:17I don't either.
00:35:18I don't either.
00:35:19I don't either.
00:35:20We'll have dinner tomorrow night.
00:35:22Wiener schnitzel.
00:35:25Excuse me, Herr Brandt,
00:35:26but the lady in the next room,
00:35:27if I'm not mistaken,
00:35:28it's the Countess Rudensky,
00:35:29wonders if you would do her the favor
00:35:31of signing her program of this afternoon's concert.
00:35:33Certainly.
00:35:34She said Mozart himself could not have done better.
00:35:37How nice of her.
00:35:39There you are.
00:35:40Thank the Countess for the compliment.
00:35:41Thank you, Herr Brandt.
00:35:42Even though it's not in the least deserved.
00:35:44Four years ago when you played the D minor...
00:35:46You remember that?
00:35:47The morning review also compared you to a young Mozart.
00:35:50I was very young.
00:35:51I was very young.
00:35:52There was that much resemblance.
00:35:56Do you like it?
00:35:59Valpolicelli, it's called.
00:36:01The first thing that you see
00:36:03when you come down the other side of the Alps.
00:36:05And the Italians say it's such a good wine
00:36:07because the grapes have their roots in the valley
00:36:10and their eyes on the mountains.
00:36:13Please.
00:36:14Please what?
00:36:15Please talk about yourself.
00:36:18I believe you really want to hear about me.
00:36:20Why?
00:36:22Never mind why.
00:36:24The truth is I've had rather an easy time of it.
00:36:29People accept my music very quickly.
00:36:32Perhaps too quickly.
00:36:34Sometimes it's easier to please others than oneself.
00:36:39What are you going to say?
00:36:41You know you don't talk very much.
00:36:43Well, I can't say it very well, but...
00:36:45Yes?
00:36:47Sometimes I felt when you were playing that...
00:36:50Go on.
00:36:52That you haven't quite found, I don't know what it is,
00:36:56what you're looking for.
00:36:59How long have you been hiding in my piano?
00:37:02I never mind explaining.
00:37:04I just assume you're a sorceress
00:37:07and that you can make yourself very tiny.
00:37:09It might be a good thing to have a sorceress for a friend.
00:37:12Who knows?
00:37:15You may be able to help me someday.
00:37:26How could I help you?
00:37:29So that's what you've been thinking about.
00:37:32You're a very strange girl.
00:37:35Whoever you are,
00:37:37wherever you came from.
00:37:39Don't you have any problems?
00:37:41Not important ones.
00:37:48It's a long while since anyone did that for me.
00:37:54Stop here, please.
00:38:02Good evening, Mr. Blanc.
00:38:04Good evening.
00:38:05Roses?
00:38:06Yes, please.
00:38:07Red roses?
00:38:08No, red is the wrong color.
00:38:09A single white rose.
00:38:10That's perfect.
00:38:14This is a special occasion.
00:38:17There you are. Good night.
00:38:18Good night, Mr. Blanc.
00:38:20Enjoy yourself.
00:38:24Did I guess right?
00:38:25Is it your flower?
00:38:27From now on, it will be.
00:38:30Would you like me to close it?
00:38:32No.
00:38:33No.
00:38:35And now to the pub, darling.
00:38:37Yes.
00:38:55Do you think it will all be closed?
00:38:57I hope not.
00:38:59I never come here in the season.
00:39:01It's more pleasant in the winter. I don't know why.
00:39:03It's perhaps because you prefer to imagine how it will be in the spring.
00:39:07Because if it is spring, then there's nothing to imagine, nothing to wish for.
00:39:11Is there anything about me you don't know?
00:39:13A few things.
00:39:14For instance, I don't know if one day they'll make a wax figure of you
00:39:18and put you in there because you'll be so famous.
00:39:21Well, if they do, will you pay your penny to come in and see me?
00:39:25If you'll come alive.
00:39:38Now I see you as a little girl.
00:39:40You too?
00:39:44When my father was alive, we travelled a lot.
00:39:47We went nearly everywhere.
00:39:48There were wonderful times.
00:39:50I didn't know you travelled so much.
00:39:52Perhaps we've been to some of the same places.
00:39:54No, I don't think so.
00:39:56Where did you go?
00:39:57Well, it was a long time, but for instance, there was Rio de Janeiro.
00:40:01Beautiful, exotic Rio with its botanical gardens,
00:40:04its Avenue of Palms, Sugarloaf Mountain,
00:40:07and the harbour where you could look down and see the fine fishes.
00:40:11We're in Venice.
00:40:12Yes, we've arrived.
00:40:13Now, where would you like to go next?
00:40:14France, England, Russia?
00:40:16Switzerland.
00:40:17Switzerland.
00:40:18Excuse me a moment while I talk with the engineer.
00:40:26You and the lady, are you enjoying the trip?
00:40:28Very much. We've decided on Switzerland.
00:40:31There you are. Thank you.
00:40:33Oh, thank you!
00:40:36Switzerland!
00:40:38Switzerland...
00:40:39Switzerland!
00:40:41Switzer... Switzerland!
00:41:05So you were looking down at the flying fish. Then what?
00:41:08Aren't you going to finish the trip?
00:41:11Well, there weren't any trips. Do you mind?
00:41:14You see, my father had a friend in a travel bureau.
00:41:17My father worked across the street. He was an assistant superintendent of the municipal waterworks.
00:41:21And he used to bring folders home with him, with pictures in them. We have stacks of them.
00:41:25And in the evening, he'd put on his traveling coat. That's what he called it.
00:41:28Of course, I was very young.
00:41:30And he would say, where shall we go this evening?
00:41:32And I would say, Vera Cruz, because it's a beautiful name.
00:41:35And then he would say, it's summer there. You don't want to roast like a coffee bean, do you?
00:41:40So you never did get there?
00:41:42No, it was just like our trip to the land of the midnight sun.
00:41:45What stopped you this time?
00:41:46The weather. I thought of India, but then father remembered that it was the rainy season.
00:41:50Your father was an expert on climbers.
00:41:52My mother used to say that he knew what the weather was everywhere except home.
00:41:56What mountain was that?
00:41:58That's the Matterhorn.
00:42:00Have you climbed it?
00:42:03Tell me, when you climb up a mountain, what then?
00:42:06Well, you come down again.
00:42:16Tell me more about your father.
00:42:19Well, then he finally did go away.
00:42:23He had the nicest eyes.
00:42:25Yes, I can see them.
00:42:28Why do you like to climb mountains?
00:42:31Well, I suppose because no matter how high you climb, there's always a higher one.
00:42:36And you like to imagine that the other one's even more wonderful, like the spring that follows.
00:42:40Now, you know far too much about me already, and I know almost nothing about you, huh?
00:42:44Except that you travel a great deal.
00:42:49End of the line. All change.
00:42:54All change.
00:43:02What now?
00:43:04Where haven't we been?
00:43:06We have no more countries left.
00:43:08Then we'll begin all over again.
00:43:10There you are. Thank you.
00:43:12Oh, thank you.
00:43:14We'll revisit the scenes of our youth.
00:43:31I don't know about them, but I'm going home right after this number.
00:43:51Me too.
00:43:52They're paying me 50 kroner.
00:43:54I like to play for married people.
00:43:56They've got homes.
00:44:02You are a sorceress.
00:44:04Now I'm sure.
00:44:07How else could we dance this way?
00:44:09Unless we've danced together before.
00:44:12And yet, if we had, I should have remembered.
00:44:23I'm sorry.
00:44:25I'm sorry.
00:44:27I'm sorry.
00:44:29Please.
00:44:59Promise me something.
00:45:11Anything.
00:45:13I don't even know where you live.
00:45:16Promise me you won't vanish.
00:45:18I won't be the one to vanish.
00:45:29I won't be the one to vanish.
00:45:48We are here.
00:46:13Who is it?
00:46:14Frank.
00:46:15Good morning, Mr. Frank.
00:46:46Please be seated.
00:47:03It will just be a moment.
00:47:05Lisa?
00:47:06Leave it on.
00:47:07Someone wants to see it.
00:47:09A new costumer.
00:47:11Looks like a good one.
00:47:16It won't take one moment.
00:47:21You will like this one, I'm sure.
00:47:22I'm sure.
00:47:29I like it very much.
00:47:32Very much.
00:47:34How did you find me?
00:47:36I'm a good detective, don't you think?
00:47:39I'm afraid we'll have to put off our plans for tonight.
00:47:43I couldn't go away without seeing you.
00:47:46Where are you going?
00:47:48Milano.
00:47:49The whole orchestra is going.
00:47:51I'm going to play at La Scala.
00:47:53That's wonderful.
00:47:55I'd forgotten all about it.
00:47:58It won't be long.
00:48:00Just two weeks.
00:48:03The train leaves at 5.30.
00:48:05Do you suppose you could see me off?
00:48:08I'll try.
00:48:09I'll look for you then.
00:48:11Goodbye.
00:48:16Goodbye.
00:48:18You'll be there.
00:48:22How did it go?
00:48:24He wasn't interested in the suit.
00:48:26He was.
00:48:29How did it go?
00:48:31He wasn't interested in the suit, but...
00:48:33Madame Spitzer, could I leave a little earlier today?
00:48:36How early?
00:48:37About 5.
00:48:39Yes, sure.
00:48:43Congratulations, my dear.
00:48:58Just a minute.
00:49:12How long have you been standing here?
00:49:16I don't want to go.
00:49:17Do you believe that?
00:49:19I'll be here when you get back.
00:49:22Yes.
00:49:23I still know so little about you.
00:49:28You like mystery.
00:49:32A woman like you exists.
00:49:34And I found you.
00:49:36That's mystery enough.
00:49:38Say Stefan.
00:49:40The way you said it last night.
00:49:43Stefan.
00:49:45It's as though you've said it all your life.
00:49:47Better hurry, sir.
00:49:48Yes.
00:49:50Stefan.
00:49:51Yes.
00:49:55It won't be long.
00:49:56I'll be back in two weeks.
00:50:02Goodbye.
00:50:03Two weeks.
00:50:21Two weeks.
00:50:23Stefan, how little you knew yourself.
00:50:26That train was taking you out of my life.
00:50:53He was a married man?
00:51:09Does he live here in Vienna?
00:51:13If we knew who he was, he might be willing to accept his responsibility.
00:51:20You won't tell us his name?
00:51:30But you haven't the means to take care of the child.
00:51:33We'll get along.
00:51:38It's your duty to tell us.
00:51:40When a man does the sort of thing...
00:51:41Please, I'm feeling tired.
00:51:42Would you go?
00:51:49You may wonder why I never came to you for help.
00:51:53I wanted to be one woman you had known...
00:51:56Who asked you for nothing.
00:51:59My deep regret is that you never saw your son.
00:52:03There were times during those years...
00:52:05I prefer not to remember.
00:52:08But this I can assure you.
00:52:10Whatever the cost...
00:52:12He 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.
00:52:33Thank 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...
00:52:45Lisa, I want you to be as happy as you've made me.
00:52:48If I were really a deserving wife...
00:52:50I'd be ready on time.
00:52:55You are happy?
00:53:02You are?
00:53:03Why shouldn't I be?
00:53:08Good night.
00:53:14Hello.
00:53:15Still another talent?
00:53:18He has a lot of talents, but not for finishing his milk.
00:53:21May I see it?
00:53:26Or for brushing his teeth.
00:53:28Made in Switzerland?
00:53:29Switzerland must be a very nice place, don't you think?
00:53:32Who gave it to you, darling?
00:53:34Herr Frank.
00:53:35Who is Herr Frank?
00:53:36His music teacher.
00:53:37He said he thinks I was a natural talent.
00:53:39For the harmonica?
00:53:41No, for music.
00:53:43Oh.
00:53:46Good night, Stefan.
00:53:47Good night, sir.
00:53:51Good night, darling.
00:53:52Good night, mother.
00:53:58Mother!
00:54:00I'll be right down.
00:54:04Yes?
00:54:05You remember the last time, first night I was home from school?
00:54:08Mm-hmm, what about it?
00:54:09When you went out, you let me sleep in your room.
00:54:12All right, it's a special concession because it's your first night home.
00:54:15But hurry, I'm late.
00:54:22In just a minute.
00:54:23There's no hurry.
00:54:25Good night, sir.
00:54:26Good night.
00:54:33You know, Stefan, it might be nice if you could say good night, father, instead of good night, sir.
00:54:38But I've always said it that way.
00:54:40I think you'd like it if you could manage a change.
00:54:42Supposing you said to me good night, madam, it would sound pretty silly, wouldn't it?
00:54:47Now promise me that you'll go to sleep and not wait up for me.
00:54:50I promise.
00:54:51Will you bring me a program of the opera?
00:54:53I promise.
00:54:57Good night, madam.
00:54:59Good night, sir.
00:55:02After all, when a person treats you so much like his son, he is, in a sense, your father.
00:55:07All right, mother, if you say so.
00:55:09Good night.
00:55:20The course of our lives can be changed by such little things.
00:55:25So many passing by, each intent on his own problems.
00:55:29So many faces that one might easily have been lost.
00:55:34I know now.
00:55:36Nothing happens by chance.
00:55:39Every moment is measured.
00:55:41Every step is counted.
00:55:46Curtain.
00:55:47Curtain going up.
00:55:48Second bag.
00:55:49Curtain going up.
00:55:50Second bag.
00:55:51Curtain going up.
00:55:52Second bag.
00:55:53Second bag.
00:55:54Look, isn't that Stefan Bright?
00:55:57He was here last week.
00:55:58A concert tour?
00:55:59Pleasure trip, most likely.
00:56:01The way he's burning himself up, it's a wonder he's still alive.
00:56:08Ten years ago, he showed great promise.
00:56:11Too bad.
00:56:12With that talent, he could have been a great pianist.
00:56:15Perhaps talent is not enough.
00:56:17Perhaps he has too many talents.
00:56:20Second bag.
00:56:21Curtain going up.
00:56:28You know the colonel and his cognac.
00:56:37You made a conquest.
00:56:42I did, you should have joined us.
00:56:57Suddenly, in that one moment, everything was in danger.
00:57:13Everything I thought was safe.
00:57:15Somewhere out there were your eyes and I knew I couldn't escape them.
00:57:18It was like the first time I saw you.
00:57:24The years between were melting away.
00:57:26I have a headache.
00:57:28No, please don't.
00:57:29I'll be all right if I lie down.
00:57:30Please stay here.
00:57:31Would you be kind enough to give my husband a message?
00:57:32He's in seventeenth.
00:57:33Not now, but after this evening.
00:57:34Tell him I have decided to go home and not to worry him.
00:57:58You call my carriage, please.
00:58:05Yes, Madam Stout.
00:58:09The side entrance.
00:58:13Yes, ma'am.
00:58:47You must realize where there is a pursued, there must also be a pursuer.
00:58:51I've seen you somewhere.
00:58:53I know.
00:58:54I followed you upstairs and watched you in your box, but I couldn't place you.
00:59:00And I had to speak with you.
00:59:03I know how this sounds.
00:59:05I assure you, in this case, it's true.
00:59:08You believe that, don't you?
00:59:10Yes.
00:59:12Now, please, just a moment.
00:59:15Is there any place we could have met, that I might have seen you?
00:59:18At one of my concerts.
00:59:21It must have been some time ago.
00:59:23I haven't given any concerts in Vienna lately.
00:59:26Or anywhere else, for that matter.
00:59:29You don't play anymore?
00:59:32It's not quite as final as that.
00:59:34I always tell myself I'll begin again next week.
00:59:37And then when next week comes, it's this week.
00:59:39So I wait for next week again.
00:59:41What are you waiting for?
00:59:44That's a very disturbing question.
00:59:46My carriage.
00:59:47You can't ask such a question and just walk away.
00:59:50I have a feeling.
00:59:52Please don't think I'm mad.
00:59:54I know it sounds strange and I can't explain it.
00:59:57But I feel that you understand what I can't even say.
01:00:02And that you can help me.
01:00:06Have you...
01:00:08Have you ever shuffled faces like cards?
01:00:12Hoping to find the one that lies somewhere.
01:00:15Just over the edge of your memory.
01:00:17The one you've been waiting for.
01:00:21Well, tonight, when I first saw you.
01:00:23And later when I watched you in the darkness.
01:00:26It was as though I'd found that one face among all others.
01:00:31Who are you?
01:00:35I promise I'll see you again.
01:00:36I must see you.
01:00:37I don't know.
01:00:41Ah!
01:01:02Johan, you don't think I wanted this to happen?
01:01:05No.
01:01:09What are you going to do?
01:01:11I don't know.
01:01:14Lisa, we have a marriage.
01:01:18Perhaps it's not all you once hoped for, but...
01:01:21You have a home and your son and...
01:01:24People who care for you.
01:01:26I know that, Johan.
01:01:28I'd do anything to avoid hurting you, but I can't help it.
01:01:33And your son.
01:01:36Do you think you can avoid hurting him?
01:01:38He won't be harmed. I'll see to that.
01:01:43There are such things as honour and decency.
01:01:48You've told myself that a hundred times this one evening.
01:01:51You talk as though it were out of your hands.
01:01:54It's not, Lisa.
01:01:55You have a will.
01:01:57You can do what's right, what's best for you.
01:02:00Or you can throw away your life.
01:02:03I've had no will but his, ever.
01:02:05That's romantic nonsense.
01:02:07Is it?
01:02:09Johan, I can't help it.
01:02:11I can't. Please believe that.
01:02:13What about him?
01:02:15Can't he help himself either?
01:02:19I know now that he needs me as much as I've always needed him.
01:02:23Isn't it a little late for him to find that out?
01:02:26We're home, sir.
01:02:36Good night.
01:02:38Good night, sir.
01:02:55Lisa, if you do this, you can never turn back.
01:03:01You know that, don't you?
01:03:03Yes.
01:03:10I warn you.
01:03:12I shall do everything in my power to prevent it.
01:03:47Hello, darling. Wake up.
01:03:50It's time to go in your own room.
01:03:57Did you have a nice time?
01:04:00Yes, darling.
01:04:03Good night, father.
01:04:05Good night.
01:04:07Did you hear? I just said it.
01:04:09Yes, darling.
01:04:11Tell me about the opera. Was it exciting?
01:04:22How's that?
01:04:24You're wonderful.
01:04:26You're wonderful.
01:04:29You've always been a wonderful boy.
01:04:32You don't know how much that's meant to me.
01:04:35To be so proud of you always.
01:04:38I know it.
01:04:59Don't worry, mother.
01:05:01You'll see. Two weeks will go like an express train.
01:05:05You're sure you're coming?
01:05:07Of course, I promised. You can even get my room in the village for me.
01:05:10I'll get you the same one you had last time, the one with the balcony.
01:05:14Didn't I tell you that compartment was quarantined?
01:05:20I'll get you the same one you had last time, the one with the balcony.
01:05:23Didn't I tell you that compartment was quarantined?
01:05:29I'm sorry, ma'am, but this compartment has to be closed up.
01:05:32I'll take you to the next car for you.
01:05:34That's good. I'll be near the locomotive.
01:05:37I'll take the car.
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 one over there?
01:05:50You can have two seats in there.
01:05:52He's traveling alone.
01:05:54Don't worry, ma'am. I'll take good care of him.
01:05:56We leave in about a minute.
01:05:58Better hurry and get your seat, sir.
01:06:00You can see better if you sit over here.
01:06:02And if you get chilly, you can put up the window.
01:06:04Yes, ma'am.
01:06:07Stefan, you know how I've longed so for your being home.
01:06:12And now I can't even explain it.
01:06:14Maybe someday, very soon, I'll be able to give you a reason.
01:06:18But now, I 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.
01:06:29Then I'll show you the new book we found since you were there last time, yeah?
01:06:32Better get out, lady.
01:06:40You write, Nip. Often, my child.
01:06:42Yes, Mother. But I can't write very often. Not in two weeks.
01:06:48Goodbye, Mother. Two weeks.
01:06:54Two weeks.
01:07:25Make way, please.
01:07:29Make way, please.
01:07:30What is it? What happened?
01:07:33Someone hurt?
01:07:35No reason to get alarmed. They say it's a case of typhus.
01:07:38Typhus?
01:07:39Yes. Typhus. On the train.
01:07:54Yes, ma'am?
01:07:55Is Mr. Brand here? Stefan Brand.
01:07:57Brand?
01:08:01One moment, please.
01:08:02Fritz.
01:08:11Could you tell me, has Mr. Brand been here this evening?
01:08:14Oh, Mr. Brand is no longer a question of ours.
01:08:17Not for some time.
01:08:19Mr. Brand these days is more likely to be found at the Ritz.
01:08:50Good evening, ma'am. I still have nice flowers left.
01:08:53I'm closing up and I'll sell you a nice bouquet.
01:08:56Very cheap.
01:09:04I'll take those. The white ones.
01:09:08Don't bother to wrap them up. As a matter of fact, I'll do it.
01:09:16Don't bother to wrap them up. As a matter...
01:09:46As a matter of fact, I'll do it.
01:10:06Now you can drive on.
01:10:34Stefan Brand is here.
01:10:46Oh, God.
01:11:16Oh, God.
01:11:35Well, this is a surprise.
01:11:37But I assure you, a very happy one.
01:11:40And John didn't prepare me for such a pleasant occasion.
01:11:44I fought last night.
01:11:46The darkness might have played tricks with my eyes.
01:11:50You're even more beautiful than I imagined.
01:11:53Very kind of you.
01:11:55This is just the hour for a little late supper.
01:11:58Or is it too late?
01:11:59Well, it makes no difference. You're here.
01:12:01And as far as I'm concerned, all the clocks in the world have stopped.
01:12:04Excuse me a moment.
01:12:06John.
01:12:08John, I'm sorry to send you out so late.
01:12:10Would you go down to the corner and get a few things?
01:12:12We're going to have some supper.
01:12:14The usual things.
01:12:23John makes life possible for a hopelessly single man.
01:12:27She fascinates you, too.
01:12:30You remember, the Greeks built a statue to a god they didn't know,
01:12:33but hoped someday would come to them.
01:12:36Well, mine happens to be a goddess.
01:12:38And you never found her?
01:12:41For years.
01:12:42I never woke in the morning, but 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. Last night you were kind enough to be interested.
01:13:06I forgot. John locked it when I went away.
01:13:08Nowadays I'm away quite a lot of the time.
01:13:11I'll ask him for the key when he comes back.
01:13:15You're very lovely.
01:13:17Beautiful dress.
01:13:20How could you do that, give it up altogether?
01:13:23If you're so curious, I'll tell you.
01:13:26One night I came back to this room.
01:13:29I'd given a concert like all the others.
01:13:31Not better, not worse.
01:13:33Afterwards they said all the usual things.
01:13:36The things you say when you're not really convinced.
01:13:40So I happened to look in the mirror, this one here.
01:13:44The young prodigy was no longer young.
01:13:46Certainly wasn't prodigious.
01:13:50Since then, I found other things to do.
01:13:53More amusing things.
01:14:04I knew last night.
01:14:06Didn't you?
01:14:25I haven't even offered to fix you a drink.
01:14:30Stefan.
01:14:31Yes?
01:14:33I came here, I have something to tell you.
01:14:36If it has to do with you, I'm very interested.
01:14:38It has to do with us.
01:14:40No, 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?
01:14:52Much better.
01:14:54I just came back from America.
01:14:55It's a fascinating country.
01:14:57The men are fond of money.
01:14:58And their wives are 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.
01:15:10But 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, I never dared hope you could arrange it so soon.
01:15:21But you're so clever.
01:15:22You manage so beautifully.
01:15:24You know, you're a very strange woman.
01:15:28Am I?
01:15:29Something you said last night keeps running through my mind.
01:15:34What was that?
01:15:36I'll tell you in just a moment, as soon as I get the ice.
01:15:41Are you getting lonely out there?
01:15:44Very lonely.
01:15:51I'd come to tell you about us.
01:15:54To offer you my whole life.
01:15:57But you didn't even remember me.
01:15:59Wow.
01:16:30Take you somewhere, young lady?
01:16:33Anywhere at all?
01:16:36Makes no difference.
01:17:00I don't remember where I went.
01:17:03Time moved past me.
01:17:05Not in days or in hours.
01:17:07But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:11And I could think again.
01:17:13I went to my son.
01:17:15But it was too late.
01:17:17He died last night.
01:17:19Of typhus.
01:17:21I don't remember where I went.
01:17:23Time moved past me.
01:17:25Not in days or in hours.
01:17:27But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:29Without even knowing I was there.
01:17:32Now I'm alone.
01:17:35My head throbs and my temples are burning.
01:17:39Perhaps God has been kind and I too have caught the fever.
01:17:45If this letter reaches you, believe this.
01:17:49That I love you now as I've always loved you.
01:17:53My life can be measured by 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.
01:18:05Could have found what was never lost.
01:18:08If only.
01:18:26If only.
01:18:56If only.
01:19:26If only.
01:19:53You remembered her.
01:19:56Yes.
01:20:15Lisa.
01:20:21Lisa.
01:20:26Lisa.
01:20:56Bring my things.
01:21:27Ready, gentlemen.
01:21:34If only you could have recognized what was always yours.
01:21:38Could have found what was never lost.
01:21:56If only you could have recognized what was always yours.
01:22:26If only.
01:22:56If only.
01:23:26If only.
01:23:27If only.
01:23:28If only.
01:23:30If only.
