Americanization Of Emily The
|
| 00:01:05 |
Hi, Harry. |
| 00:01:08 |
It'll only be a few moments, sir. |
| 00:01:12 |
Put that hand luggage in the automobile. |
| 00:01:14 |
- Paul? |
| 00:01:17 |
Put the footlockers in the jeep. |
| 00:01:18 |
Everything else goes in the two-and-a-half. |
| 00:01:20 |
Unloading shouldn't take long. |
| 00:01:22 |
You won't be more than |
| 00:01:24 |
I'll see you back at the hotel. |
| 00:01:27 |
Harry, is everything set at the hotel? |
| 00:01:35 |
Hiya, Charlie. |
| 00:02:21 |
Adm. Jessup's riding |
| 00:02:29 |
Adm. Jessup, you remember Mr. Parks. |
| 00:02:37 |
- Bus, I'll check on the unloading... |
| 00:02:41 |
Glad you're back, Charlie. |
| 00:02:44 |
We'll go around to the rear entrance. |
| 00:03:11 |
Will you put this stuff in my room, Paul? |
| 00:03:15 |
Hello, Tom. |
| 00:03:16 |
- Nice to have you back in London, sir. |
| 00:03:19 |
There's a crate of eggs, |
| 00:03:22 |
marmalade, six pounds of butter, |
| 00:03:26 |
- Would you check those for bruises, Tom? |
| 00:03:28 |
The Admiral will have breakfast |
| 00:03:30 |
with Capt. Ellender and Cmdr. Cummings. |
| 00:03:32 |
- Here's how everyone likes their eggs. |
| 00:03:36 |
I'll sign this in. |
| 00:03:37 |
- You pick up the wash and dry cleaning. |
| 00:03:47 |
Get some sleep. |
| 00:04:00 |
You can't win them all, Commander. |
| 00:04:46 |
Charlie, the Admiral wants to have |
| 00:04:48 |
Then bridge later with |
| 00:04:51 |
General Waterson doesn't play bridge. |
| 00:04:53 |
Yeah, but he'll want a partner anyway. |
| 00:04:54 |
Try to dig up a couple of someones |
| 00:04:57 |
Here's the menu. |
| 00:04:59 |
Steak, avocado salad, ice cream, |
| 00:05:04 |
Call the motor pool and get a driver, |
| 00:05:06 |
We're going to stay in London |
| 00:05:09 |
- Until the balloon goes up. |
| 00:05:11 |
D- day. The invasion of Europe. |
| 00:05:14 |
- You might as well set up house. |
| 00:05:17 |
Motor pool, please. |
| 00:05:19 |
Gen. Waterson likes redheaded partners? |
| 00:05:21 |
Yes, as I recall. |
| 00:05:23 |
Paul, never mind. |
| 00:05:26 |
Avocado salad. That's a new one. |
| 00:05:40 |
Hi, Charlie. |
| 00:05:41 |
Sheila, could you be a redhead |
| 00:05:44 |
I could manage it, love. |
| 00:05:45 |
- Am I to drive, or am I to dress? |
| 00:05:48 |
It's for dinner and a bit of mauling. |
| 00:05:50 |
A two-star general who usually passes out |
| 00:05:52 |
Two-star general. |
| 00:05:54 |
Push on to SHAEF, Pat. |
| 00:05:57 |
- Here you are, Charlie. |
| 00:05:59 |
I need a driver to take me to Hendon. |
| 00:06:02 |
I'm sorry, love. I'm afraid she's on call. |
| 00:06:04 |
Emily, take Cmdr. Madison |
| 00:06:07 |
If I'm to be a redhead, |
| 00:06:10 |
I'll be in my room by lunch. |
| 00:06:11 |
You are a love, Charlie. |
| 00:06:13 |
Here's your ticket. This is yours, love. |
| 00:06:14 |
Rear Admiral. Go to Hammersmith. |
| 00:06:16 |
Rear Admiral? |
| 00:06:19 |
I shall be up in my new dress |
| 00:06:32 |
Is Lt. Hayworth still |
| 00:06:35 |
No, sir. There's a Lt. Wade there now, sir. |
| 00:06:41 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 00:06:42 |
It might help you to know |
| 00:06:45 |
Thank you. |
| 00:06:51 |
Drop around my hotel tomorrow at 3:00. |
| 00:06:56 |
What kind of bottles? |
| 00:06:58 |
What kind of bottles would I have for |
| 00:07:02 |
- Don't tell me. |
| 00:07:05 |
You can't get bourbon over here. |
| 00:07:08 |
You got three bottles. |
| 00:07:11 |
You're quite a dog-robber, |
| 00:07:14 |
Let's just make sure |
| 00:07:18 |
I'll take care of you... |
| 00:07:19 |
but, Lieutenant, |
| 00:07:23 |
of anybody in |
| 00:07:25 |
including the Supreme Commander. |
| 00:07:27 |
I want the prime of everything |
| 00:07:30 |
When I ask for steak, I mean aged, |
| 00:07:35 |
corn-fed, that you can cut |
| 00:07:38 |
I'm setting up house, now. |
| 00:07:40 |
For today, I want six dozen sirloin strips... |
| 00:07:44 |
one crate of oranges, |
| 00:07:46 |
six rib roasts, three Swiss hams, |
| 00:07:50 |
and one gallon chocolate syrup. |
| 00:07:55 |
I expect to be favored. |
| 00:07:57 |
If any other admiral's dog-robber |
| 00:07:59 |
tell him my admiral will cover for you... |
| 00:08:01 |
all the way to the Secretary of the Navy. |
| 00:08:03 |
If you do right, I'll see that you get... |
| 00:08:06 |
the Legion of Merit with clusters. |
| 00:08:09 |
That's for your gallant service. |
| 00:08:15 |
If you fink on my admiral, man... |
| 00:08:21 |
The last supply officer, |
| 00:08:25 |
is now at the North Pole |
| 00:08:32 |
You read me, Lieutenant? |
| 00:08:34 |
I read you, Commander. |
| 00:08:36 |
If you'll just have |
| 00:08:39 |
drive that Buick around to the dock |
| 00:09:05 |
You Americans are really enjoying |
| 00:09:08 |
Ma'am? |
| 00:09:09 |
Most English families haven't seen |
| 00:09:13 |
But it's one big Shriners' Convention |
| 00:09:17 |
Well, that's swell, miss. |
| 00:09:18 |
- Barham. |
| 00:09:22 |
It's nearly lunch. |
| 00:09:25 |
Since when did you start asking |
| 00:09:28 |
Bienvenue. |
| 00:09:29 |
That's the avocados. |
| 00:09:31 |
It's too bloody gorgeous, Charlie. |
| 00:09:33 |
I need a girl, Sheila. |
| 00:09:35 |
A bright, bridge-playing girl. |
| 00:09:39 |
British diction calculated |
| 00:09:43 |
Who can handle herself at a dinner table |
| 00:09:47 |
Whatever happened to Alice Luddens? |
| 00:09:49 |
She's married off, love, |
| 00:09:53 |
Can't be too choosy, I suppose, |
| 00:09:56 |
Can I go and try it on, Charlie? |
| 00:10:07 |
The balloon is going up any day now. |
| 00:10:10 |
- What balloon? |
| 00:10:14 |
Invasion of Europe. |
| 00:10:16 |
Any day now 1,000,000 men |
| 00:10:19 |
in the greatest battle in history. |
| 00:10:21 |
Do you know any girls |
| 00:10:23 |
What do you think, Charlie? |
| 00:10:25 |
Yeah. It's worth a try. |
| 00:10:30 |
- Harry, let me borrow this for a while. |
| 00:10:32 |
It's a matter of State. |
| 00:10:42 |
- Charlie, what happened to you? |
| 00:10:49 |
An old wound, Commander? |
| 00:10:51 |
Yes. A bit of flak I picked up |
| 00:10:55 |
Acts up every now and then. |
| 00:10:56 |
Pity. |
| 00:10:59 |
Miss Barham, do you play bridge? |
| 00:11:02 |
Yes, I do. Why? |
| 00:11:03 |
Adm. Jessup would like you |
| 00:11:06 |
for dinner and bridge this evening. |
| 00:11:07 |
I see. |
| 00:11:08 |
Just dinner and bridge. Nothing else. |
| 00:11:11 |
I'll have you delivered |
| 00:11:14 |
No, thank you. |
| 00:11:16 |
If you don't need me, Commander, |
| 00:11:29 |
You're something of a prig, Miss Barham. |
| 00:11:35 |
I don't mean to be. |
| 00:11:56 |
Sheila? Do you think I'm a prig? |
| 00:12:00 |
Lord, yes, love. |
| 00:12:02 |
You've been shattering us |
| 00:12:04 |
ever since you joined this motor pool. |
| 00:12:06 |
- I've been that awful? |
| 00:12:11 |
The fact is, I'm anything but. |
| 00:12:13 |
I'm grotesquely sentimental. |
| 00:12:17 |
That's why I gave up hospital driving. |
| 00:12:20 |
All those men... |
| 00:12:22 |
moaning in the back of the ambulance. |
| 00:12:25 |
Especially the lot from Africa. |
| 00:12:28 |
I used to read to them in my off-hours. |
| 00:12:30 |
When they were healed, |
| 00:12:33 |
they'd come looking for me to spend |
| 00:12:37 |
Little hotel rooms. |
| 00:12:39 |
Bed and breakfast for a guinea. |
| 00:12:42 |
I paid the guinea myself, |
| 00:12:47 |
But I couldn't say no to them, could I? |
| 00:12:50 |
I'd just lost my husband at Tobruk. |
| 00:12:53 |
And I was overwhelmed with tenderness |
| 00:13:03 |
As I say, I'm grotesquely sentimental. |
| 00:13:09 |
- What on earth are you doing to your hair? |
| 00:13:13 |
I'm going |
| 00:13:15 |
Yes. I was asked to that one. |
| 00:13:19 |
Does it require red hair? |
| 00:13:21 |
Do come, love. |
| 00:13:25 |
All sorts of meats, fruit, real cream. |
| 00:13:28 |
Things we haven't seen |
| 00:13:31 |
You'll get a new dress out of it. |
| 00:13:34 |
- Nope. |
| 00:13:37 |
It's the swankiest shop in town. |
| 00:13:39 |
He's got everything up there |
| 00:13:48 |
Here, look at this. |
| 00:13:51 |
You can't see this at Harrods. |
| 00:13:53 |
That's nylon, love. And this is pure silk. |
| 00:13:56 |
I'd show you my new dress, |
| 00:14:00 |
It's Bonwit Tellers. |
| 00:14:03 |
You mean he actually supplies you |
| 00:14:05 |
Charlie dresses you proper. |
| 00:14:07 |
Americans don't like to see their women |
| 00:14:11 |
But it all ends in someone's bed, |
| 00:14:13 |
I mean, that's the point, isn't it? |
| 00:14:15 |
Look who's talking after |
| 00:14:20 |
Sorry. I am a prig, at that. |
| 00:14:24 |
I feel rather tender towards |
| 00:14:28 |
I don't want to feel tender |
| 00:14:31 |
Especially soldiers. |
| 00:14:33 |
I've lost a husband, a father, |
| 00:14:38 |
When my husband died, |
| 00:14:43 |
I take these things badly. |
| 00:14:47 |
I fall in love too easily, |
| 00:14:52 |
I don't want any more doomed men. |
| 00:14:55 |
Do come tonight, love. |
| 00:14:58 |
These men aren't doomed. |
| 00:14:59 |
They'll never see any of the shooting, |
| 00:15:02 |
We'll have a few laughs. |
| 00:15:04 |
I've never seen anyone needing |
| 00:15:17 |
- Very nice crystal, Tom. Danish? |
| 00:15:21 |
I don't much care for the centerpiece. |
| 00:15:24 |
Of course. |
| 00:15:27 |
- Italian. Very lovely. |
| 00:15:33 |
Cocktails at 5:30, and heavy on the gin. |
| 00:15:35 |
Dinner at 6:00 promptly. |
| 00:15:38 |
- I'll manage from there. |
| 00:15:40 |
You're not limping, Commander. |
| 00:15:44 |
It's the Arabian Nights. |
| 00:15:46 |
Do you have chests of rubies |
| 00:15:48 |
Just perfumes and liquor. |
| 00:15:50 |
I've heard about this room, Commander. |
| 00:15:52 |
All the girls talk about it, |
| 00:15:55 |
Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, |
| 00:15:58 |
Sheila's right. |
| 00:16:02 |
Good heavens! Arpege perfume. |
| 00:16:05 |
How did you manage Arpege |
| 00:16:08 |
There are Germans in Paris, aren't there? |
| 00:16:10 |
There is a war on, I think. |
| 00:16:12 |
You Americans must have heard |
| 00:16:15 |
Just pick out a dress, honey, |
| 00:16:18 |
You American-haters bore me to tears, |
| 00:16:21 |
I've dealt with Europeans all my life. |
| 00:16:24 |
I know all about us parvenus |
| 00:16:26 |
who come over here and race around |
| 00:16:29 |
with our cameras and Coca-Cola bottles. |
| 00:16:31 |
Brawl in your pubs, paw your women, |
| 00:16:35 |
We over tip. We talk too loud. |
| 00:16:36 |
We think we can buy anything |
| 00:16:39 |
I've had Germans and Italians tell me... |
| 00:16:41 |
how politically ingenuous we are. |
| 00:16:43 |
And perhaps so. |
| 00:16:44 |
But we haven't managed a Hitler |
| 00:16:46 |
I've had Frenchmen call me a savage... |
| 00:16:48 |
because I only took half an hour for lunch. |
| 00:16:50 |
The only reason the French |
| 00:16:53 |
is because the service |
| 00:16:55 |
The most tedious lot are you British. |
| 00:16:58 |
We crass Americans didn't introduce war |
| 00:17:01 |
This war, Miss Barham, to which |
| 00:17:05 |
is the result of 2,000 years |
| 00:17:07 |
barbarism, superstition, and stupidity. |
| 00:17:09 |
Don't blame it on our Coca-Cola bottles. |
| 00:17:11 |
Europe was a going brothel |
| 00:17:15 |
Dear me. What an outburst. |
| 00:17:17 |
So lay off, Mrs. Miniver. |
| 00:17:19 |
If you don't like Hershey bars, |
| 00:17:21 |
Pick yourself a frock, or get out. |
| 00:17:22 |
It's not my job to listen |
| 00:17:25 |
I could almost believe |
| 00:17:28 |
I never flew for the RAF, and you know it. |
| 00:17:30 |
You didn't expect me |
| 00:17:33 |
Not for a minute. |
| 00:17:34 |
But why, Commander? |
| 00:17:37 |
You're here, Miss Barham. |
| 00:17:39 |
Yes, so I am. |
| 00:17:41 |
You're a complete rascal. |
| 00:17:45 |
I'll be back at 5:30. |
| 00:17:47 |
The Admiral will be delighted |
| 00:17:49 |
- Looking forward to it. |
| 00:17:51 |
I have my own clothes, Commander. |
| 00:17:59 |
Do you have a girl, Commander? |
| 00:18:01 |
None of your damn business, |
| 00:18:13 |
Avocado! |
| 00:18:17 |
- Come over to the table... |
| 00:18:20 |
But, the Admiral likes |
| 00:18:23 |
just to keep his guests happy. |
| 00:18:24 |
- Isn't that right, Charlie? |
| 00:18:39 |
These Hungarians at the Princess, |
| 00:18:42 |
- Good evening. |
| 00:18:46 |
Miss Barham, you must know someone |
| 00:18:50 |
What? This old thing. |
| 00:18:54 |
It's lovely. |
| 00:19:00 |
Miss Barham, if you need any assistance |
| 00:19:03 |
I'll be somewhere near at hand. |
| 00:19:07 |
Charlie, this is Madame Clarabigh. |
| 00:19:09 |
- How do you do? |
| 00:19:11 |
- Yes, General. |
| 00:19:13 |
You'll have to excuse us, Admiral. |
| 00:19:15 |
I hope you'll excuse me |
| 00:19:18 |
but a gentleman expressed |
| 00:19:22 |
You do speak Russian? |
| 00:19:30 |
- Tom. |
| 00:19:32 |
I want you to keep the food moving. |
| 00:19:34 |
The Admiral wants the room cleared |
| 00:19:38 |
- Doubled. |
| 00:19:39 |
- Pass. |
| 00:19:58 |
I overbid? |
| 00:20:00 |
Let's just say you have unbridled courage. |
| 00:20:07 |
I don't like the way the Navy's publicity |
| 00:20:11 |
I want extreme measures taken to |
| 00:20:16 |
The President supports me in this. |
| 00:20:18 |
Yeah, we received your cables, Jesse... |
| 00:20:21 |
but I don't know what you mean |
| 00:20:23 |
This is going to be a bloodbath. |
| 00:20:25 |
I want a Marine division |
| 00:20:27 |
You're not going to drag |
| 00:20:29 |
The Marines are traditional shock troops, |
| 00:20:32 |
Not in the European theater |
| 00:20:36 |
You Navy guys get all the headlines |
| 00:20:40 |
But Europe's an Army show. |
| 00:20:42 |
It's been understood |
| 00:20:45 |
I've written the Supreme Commander |
| 00:20:47 |
That's one of the reasons he's out of town. |
| 00:20:49 |
You must be off your rocker, Jesse, |
| 00:20:51 |
assault changes can be made |
| 00:20:54 |
You know when the balloon's going up. |
| 00:20:56 |
What balloon? |
| 00:20:58 |
I've been instructed to say... |
| 00:20:59 |
that we're going to put on a few more |
| 00:21:02 |
at supreme headquarters. |
| 00:21:04 |
We're going to push the PRO people |
| 00:21:07 |
The Supreme Commander |
| 00:21:10 |
this inter-service competitiveness |
| 00:21:13 |
He's having enough trouble |
| 00:21:17 |
You're down four, Willie. |
| 00:21:18 |
Doubled, redoubled, and vulnerable. |
| 00:21:22 |
Marine division! |
| 00:21:27 |
- Who deals? |
| 00:21:32 |
Clear away that table, please. |
| 00:21:34 |
General Waterson? Your car is ready, sir. |
| 00:21:36 |
- Thank you. |
| 00:21:45 |
- Champagne, Charlie. |
| 00:21:47 |
It'll be outside your door in half an hour. |
| 00:21:50 |
Where... |
| 00:21:51 |
I sent her in. |
| 00:21:56 |
Your car's here, General. |
| 00:21:59 |
It's $34, all right. |
| 00:22:01 |
At Adm. Jessup's request, |
| 00:22:04 |
send you three yards of tweed, sir. |
| 00:22:05 |
It's for Mrs. Hallerton. |
| 00:22:07 |
It won't get him |
| 00:22:09 |
but it's generous of him. |
| 00:22:11 |
It was good to see you again, sir. |
| 00:22:13 |
- Good night. |
| 00:22:19 |
Miss Barham, |
| 00:22:21 |
- if you'd like me to take you down... |
| 00:22:28 |
I had a lovely evening, Commander. |
| 00:22:37 |
Was I rude, Charlie, |
| 00:22:40 |
It wasn't noticed, sir. |
| 00:22:42 |
I've got the damnedest headache. |
| 00:22:45 |
I'll fix you a drink |
| 00:22:50 |
Charlie, in seven weeks, |
| 00:22:53 |
and testify before the Joint Committee |
| 00:22:57 |
On the agenda is a review of the Army's |
| 00:23:02 |
And there'll be speculation... |
| 00:23:05 |
as to whether that doesn't make |
| 00:23:09 |
In short, they're out |
| 00:23:15 |
Charlie, the Air Corps is coming out of |
| 00:23:19 |
The Army and its Air Corps. |
| 00:23:22 |
The Navy will be the runt of the litter. |
| 00:23:25 |
They'll scrap us... |
| 00:23:27 |
like they do after every war. |
| 00:23:30 |
Limit our capital ships... |
| 00:23:36 |
reduce our crews to cadres, |
| 00:23:41 |
Then they'll scream |
| 00:23:43 |
when somebody hits us |
| 00:23:47 |
All Washington is bug-eyed |
| 00:23:51 |
And this invasion of Europe |
| 00:23:56 |
That's why we're here, Charlie. |
| 00:23:58 |
To remind the Congress |
| 00:24:00 |
and the American public... |
| 00:24:02 |
that this invasion of Europe |
| 00:24:11 |
I just threw in that Marine division |
| 00:24:14 |
They turned me down. |
| 00:24:17 |
But what? |
| 00:24:19 |
What? |
| 00:24:22 |
I don't know what to shoot for. |
| 00:24:24 |
I've got to come up with something. |
| 00:24:28 |
It's driving me crazy. |
| 00:24:32 |
Charlie, fix me something for this head, |
| 00:24:35 |
Sure, Admiral. |
| 00:24:47 |
Sure, George, sure. |
| 00:24:49 |
Sure. Support that damn peanut. |
| 00:24:52 |
Damn Chinese. |
| 00:24:55 |
Communist. Five years at the most. |
| 00:25:00 |
Here's your drink, sir. |
| 00:25:02 |
Murderers, boy. Murderers. |
| 00:25:06 |
You're on the nose there, George. |
| 00:25:10 |
Andrew, for one. |
| 00:25:12 |
Take the steam out of it. |
| 00:25:16 |
And your damned Army in China, anyway. |
| 00:25:27 |
I'll leave your drink on the bed table, sir. |
| 00:25:59 |
Come to think of it, I don't have a girl. |
| 00:26:04 |
I don't have a man. |
| 00:26:11 |
You think we can keep it on that level? |
| 00:26:15 |
Not a chance. |
| 00:26:18 |
It's going to be just one of those things, |
| 00:26:21 |
I like your spirit, Commander. |
| 00:26:52 |
- I'm not your type, you know. |
| 00:26:57 |
I would have thought you'd fancy heroes. |
| 00:27:02 |
That's your most attractive quality. |
| 00:27:08 |
I've had it with heroes. |
| 00:27:13 |
You'll never get caught in the shooting. |
| 00:27:17 |
You can't imagine how attractive |
| 00:27:25 |
Easy, tiger. That's a tailored shirt. |
| 00:27:27 |
Shut up and let me kiss you. |
| 00:27:34 |
The first dead man on Omaha Beach |
| 00:27:37 |
You read me, sir? |
| 00:27:39 |
The first dead man on Omaha Beach |
| 00:27:42 |
Put your mind on that, sir. |
| 00:27:46 |
Dear me, what was that about? |
| 00:27:49 |
What did he say? |
| 00:27:51 |
I think he said, "The first dead man |
| 00:27:56 |
That's a very piquant thing to say, |
| 00:27:58 |
Yes, I think I'd call it piquant. |
| 00:28:02 |
Does he do that often? |
| 00:28:03 |
No. I don't think I ever remember him |
| 00:28:08 |
Excuse me a minute, will you, please? |
| 00:28:28 |
Hello, Charlie. |
| 00:28:30 |
The first dead man on Omaha Beach |
| 00:28:34 |
Think about that for a minute. |
| 00:28:36 |
In what reference, sir? |
| 00:28:40 |
The Unknown Sailor. |
| 00:28:43 |
Let me kick that around |
| 00:28:45 |
Charlie, I want the whole team |
| 00:28:50 |
to discuss just that. |
| 00:28:51 |
To discuss just what, sir? |
| 00:28:53 |
Arrange that, Charlie. |
| 00:28:57 |
Good night, Charlie. |
| 00:29:03 |
Good night, sir. |
| 00:29:25 |
- Who is it? |
| 00:29:27 |
- Bus, the strangest thing happened. |
| 00:29:30 |
The Admiral came into my room |
| 00:29:33 |
yelling, "The first dead man |
| 00:29:36 |
What's up? You can see |
| 00:29:39 |
The Admiral's ripped a braid. |
| 00:29:40 |
He came barging in, yelling, |
| 00:29:42 |
- For Pete's sake, tomorrow morning... |
| 00:29:46 |
the Admiral wants the team |
| 00:29:48 |
"The first dead man on Omaha Beach |
| 00:29:51 |
Yeah. Swell. Great. |
| 00:29:52 |
Where are my ruddy shoes? |
| 00:29:55 |
Tomorrow morning, Charlie? |
| 00:29:57 |
- Bloody rude Americans! |
| 00:29:58 |
- They're all the same! |
| 00:30:03 |
I think Charlie's flipped his screw. |
| 00:30:05 |
This hotel's like a ruddy circus, |
| 00:30:08 |
I mean, really! |
| 00:30:10 |
Now, it's okay, baby. |
| 00:30:11 |
We've got about a month. |
| 00:30:14 |
I want a movie made that shows |
| 00:30:19 |
From the procurement of vessels |
| 00:30:23 |
Gentlemen, 4,000 ships and boats... |
| 00:30:26 |
battleships, destroyers, |
| 00:30:29 |
excursion steamers, |
| 00:30:33 |
tugs, tubs and Chinese junks. |
| 00:30:36 |
4,000 vessels. |
| 00:30:39 |
The greatest armada |
| 00:30:41 |
is going to cross that channel. |
| 00:30:43 |
They're going to have to do it at night... |
| 00:30:45 |
across one of the nastiest waters |
| 00:30:48 |
the English Channel. |
| 00:30:49 |
Every inch of that channel |
| 00:30:54 |
It'll be the most incredible |
| 00:30:59 |
If Hitler could have done it, |
| 00:31:02 |
and it's the Navy that's the essence |
| 00:31:07 |
- I want a movie that makes that clear. |
| 00:31:10 |
I especially want a movie |
| 00:31:13 |
who are going to be |
| 00:31:17 |
Casualties... |
| 00:31:19 |
are estimated at 50% |
| 00:31:23 |
A lot of brave men are going to die |
| 00:31:27 |
and I want a movie that shows... |
| 00:31:29 |
the first brave man to die |
| 00:31:33 |
If that's a Roger Charlton, |
| 00:31:36 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:31:39 |
Adm. Jessup's office. |
| 00:31:42 |
Yes, sir. He'll be there directly. |
| 00:31:44 |
Now, here's what I want done. |
| 00:31:46 |
I want a photography team assigned |
| 00:31:50 |
to record their activities on film |
| 00:31:54 |
I'm leaving this in your hands, Bus. |
| 00:31:58 |
There are six photography teams |
| 00:32:01 |
I don't care about other photography |
| 00:32:05 |
to record the heroism |
| 00:32:08 |
I want this film made, Commander. |
| 00:32:10 |
You get some photographers' mates |
| 00:32:13 |
Aye, aye, sir. |
| 00:32:16 |
Any questions? |
| 00:32:19 |
No, sir. |
| 00:32:28 |
How's that for a cockamamie assignment? |
| 00:32:30 |
He's been getting these eccentric flashes |
| 00:32:34 |
Yeah. He's got something in the back |
| 00:32:37 |
I'll check and see |
| 00:32:40 |
Where are you going? |
| 00:32:43 |
Call in about noon, Charlie. |
| 00:32:46 |
I don't know what's the matter |
| 00:33:05 |
Hello, Emily. |
| 00:33:07 |
Hello. You're just in time for tea. |
| 00:33:11 |
Thank you. |
| 00:33:16 |
- You brought me some chocolates? |
| 00:33:19 |
That's very American of you, Charlie. |
| 00:33:22 |
You just had to bring along |
| 00:33:25 |
I don't want them. |
| 00:33:28 |
You Yanks can't even show affection |
| 00:33:31 |
Don't get into a state over it. |
| 00:33:34 |
I do! But my country's at war... |
| 00:33:36 |
and we're doing without chocolates |
| 00:33:38 |
I don't want oranges or eggs |
| 00:33:42 |
Don't show me how profitable it'll be |
| 00:33:46 |
Don't Americanize me. |
| 00:33:53 |
That's my father. |
| 00:33:57 |
Got the Victoria Cross for that. |
| 00:33:59 |
He died in an air raid a week after |
| 00:34:04 |
That's my brother, there. |
| 00:34:06 |
His name was Charlie, too, by the way. |
| 00:34:08 |
He was shot down during the blitz. |
| 00:34:11 |
Sacrificed himself to save his squadron. |
| 00:34:16 |
The one you're looking at now |
| 00:34:19 |
He looks like a rake. |
| 00:34:21 |
Yes. He was very bawdy. |
| 00:34:23 |
I was insane about him. |
| 00:34:26 |
He died at Tobruk. |
| 00:34:29 |
The rest of the lot there are cousins. |
| 00:34:32 |
There's two of them still living. |
| 00:34:34 |
I must say the family's been thinned out |
| 00:34:39 |
Charlie, before we go out to my mum, |
| 00:34:43 |
she's a bit mad. |
| 00:34:45 |
You'll like her very much. |
| 00:34:47 |
But she may yatter away |
| 00:34:50 |
as though they were still alive. |
| 00:34:52 |
Just go along with her. |
| 00:34:54 |
I understand. |
| 00:34:59 |
I think it profane to enjoy this war. |
| 00:35:04 |
I never realized what a sensual |
| 00:35:09 |
I'm not sure that's a very tasteful thing |
| 00:35:12 |
I'm not sentimental about war. |
| 00:35:17 |
You're jealous of my husband. I like that. |
| 00:35:27 |
Mother. |
| 00:35:28 |
You've brought chocolates, |
| 00:35:31 |
- What a treasure trove. |
| 00:35:33 |
- On ascetic grounds. |
| 00:35:36 |
Take the things if you want them. |
| 00:35:37 |
I shall have one later |
| 00:35:40 |
You must be Emily's new lover |
| 00:35:43 |
You must be her mother. |
| 00:35:45 |
You found the chink in my armor. |
| 00:35:48 |
- I'm a practicing coward. |
| 00:35:51 |
I should have known |
| 00:35:53 |
You're as dotty as she is, Charlie. |
| 00:35:55 |
Before the war, |
| 00:35:58 |
of a diplomatic hotel in Washington, D.C. |
| 00:36:00 |
What made you say that? |
| 00:36:01 |
Lord, I feel like Alice at the tea party. |
| 00:36:04 |
He's going to tell us |
| 00:36:06 |
Yes. It was my job as assistant |
| 00:36:11 |
for many of the great historical figures |
| 00:36:15 |
What exactly did you arrange? |
| 00:36:17 |
Usually I arranged girls, |
| 00:36:20 |
Of course. |
| 00:36:21 |
It's useful work, anyway, |
| 00:36:24 |
I was offered all sorts of commissions |
| 00:36:27 |
The one I have now. Adm. Jessup |
| 00:36:31 |
but I'd always been a little embarrassed |
| 00:36:34 |
and I wanted to do something redeeming. |
| 00:36:37 |
War is the only chance a man has |
| 00:36:41 |
- That's why war is so attractive. |
| 00:36:45 |
At any rate, I turned down |
| 00:36:48 |
and I enlisted in the Marines as a private. |
| 00:36:50 |
I even applied for combat service. |
| 00:36:52 |
My wife, to all appearances |
| 00:36:55 |
encouraged me in this idiotic decision. |
| 00:36:58 |
Seven months later, I found myself |
| 00:37:02 |
There I was splashing away |
| 00:37:06 |
It occurred to me a man could get killed |
| 00:37:10 |
Fact is, most of the men |
| 00:37:14 |
were screaming in agony |
| 00:37:16 |
Those were brave men dying there. |
| 00:37:18 |
Peacetime, they'd all been |
| 00:37:21 |
frightened of their wives, |
| 00:37:24 |
terrified of the passing of the years. |
| 00:37:26 |
But war had made them gallant. |
| 00:37:28 |
They had been greedy men. |
| 00:37:31 |
They had been selfish. |
| 00:37:34 |
War isn't hell at all. Man at his best. |
| 00:37:37 |
The highest morality he's capable of. |
| 00:37:40 |
Never mind all that. |
| 00:37:42 |
That night, |
| 00:37:46 |
waiting to be killed, sopping wet. |
| 00:37:48 |
It was then I had my blinding revelation. |
| 00:37:52 |
I discovered I was a coward. |
| 00:37:54 |
That's my new religion. |
| 00:37:56 |
Cowardice will save the world. |
| 00:38:01 |
It's the morality of it. It's not greed |
| 00:38:04 |
It's goodness. |
| 00:38:06 |
Wars are always fought |
| 00:38:08 |
for liberation or manifest destiny... |
| 00:38:10 |
always against tyranny |
| 00:38:14 |
So far this war |
| 00:38:16 |
some 10,000,000 humans |
| 00:38:18 |
Next war, it seems we'll have |
| 00:38:21 |
in order to preserve his damn dignity. |
| 00:38:23 |
It's not war that's unnatural to us. |
| 00:38:27 |
As long as valor remains a virtue |
| 00:38:30 |
So I preach cowardice. |
| 00:38:32 |
Through cowardice, we shall all be saved. |
| 00:38:34 |
That was exalting, Commander. |
| 00:38:38 |
Never mind the metaphysics, Commander. |
| 00:38:42 |
Needless to say, that first night, |
| 00:38:46 |
"For heaven's sakes, get me out of this. " |
| 00:38:48 |
Two weeks later, |
| 00:38:51 |
I raced home to my wife... |
| 00:38:52 |
- And found her with another man. |
| 00:38:56 |
My wife, who had deceived me |
| 00:38:58 |
than I care to think about... |
| 00:39:00 |
was now having the time of her life |
| 00:39:03 |
She was furious with me for coming back. |
| 00:39:05 |
There was no reason |
| 00:39:08 |
She promptly sued me for divorce... |
| 00:39:10 |
on the grounds of religious differences. |
| 00:39:12 |
I was a self-preservationist... |
| 00:39:13 |
and she was a high |
| 00:39:16 |
You're fair game, then. |
| 00:39:21 |
After every war, you know we always |
| 00:39:25 |
and after this I'm sure all the generals... |
| 00:39:27 |
will write books about the blunders |
| 00:39:30 |
and statesmen will publish |
| 00:39:33 |
and it'll show beyond |
| 00:39:35 |
that war could easily have been avoided |
| 00:39:38 |
The rest of us, of course, will be left... |
| 00:39:40 |
with the job of bandaging the wounded |
| 00:39:44 |
I don't trust people who make bitter |
| 00:39:48 |
It's the generals |
| 00:39:50 |
who are the first to shout what a hell it is. |
| 00:39:52 |
It's always the war widows |
| 00:39:56 |
That was unkind, Charlie, and very rude. |
| 00:39:59 |
We shall never end wars, Mrs. Barham, |
| 00:40:03 |
or warmongering imperialists |
| 00:40:06 |
It's the rest of us who build statues |
| 00:40:09 |
and name boulevards |
| 00:40:12 |
The rest of us who make heroes |
| 00:40:14 |
and shrines of our battlefields. |
| 00:40:17 |
We wear our widow's weeds |
| 00:40:20 |
and perpetuate war |
| 00:40:24 |
My brother died at Anzio. |
| 00:40:26 |
I didn't know that, Charlie. |
| 00:40:29 |
Yes. An everyday soldier's death, |
| 00:40:34 |
They buried what pieces |
| 00:40:36 |
But my mother insists he died a brave |
| 00:40:41 |
You're very hard on your mother. |
| 00:40:43 |
It seems a harmless enough pretense |
| 00:40:45 |
No, Mrs. Barham. |
| 00:40:48 |
No. You see, now my other brother |
| 00:40:51 |
- That'll be in September. |
| 00:40:54 |
Maybe ministers and generals |
| 00:40:58 |
the least the rest of us can do is |
| 00:41:03 |
What has my mother got |
| 00:41:06 |
She's under constant sedation... |
| 00:41:08 |
and terrified she may |
| 00:41:10 |
and find her last son |
| 00:41:15 |
I don't think I was rude or unkind before. |
| 00:41:25 |
No. |
| 00:41:29 |
You better push off, Emily, |
| 00:41:36 |
Give my best to Father, then. |
| 00:41:37 |
Your father died in the blitz... |
| 00:41:40 |
and your brother died a brave |
| 00:41:44 |
- I've carried on much too long with all this. |
| 00:41:47 |
No, do go. |
| 00:41:49 |
Really, I mean it. |
| 00:41:52 |
You're a kind man, Commander. |
| 00:41:55 |
Thank you, ma'am. I'd like to. |
| 00:42:17 |
At the same time, Jesse, |
| 00:42:20 |
so we can unload all the Army's heavy |
| 00:42:26 |
Jesse, D-day has to be June 5 or 6. |
| 00:42:31 |
We won't repeat these tidal conditions |
| 00:42:35 |
That'll put us into the winter. |
| 00:42:38 |
Jesse, why don't we |
| 00:42:40 |
- We've been at it since 3:00. |
| 00:42:45 |
It took me six months to get that |
| 00:42:49 |
let alone the British. |
| 00:42:52 |
I haven't had more than |
| 00:42:55 |
since Florence died. I'm really worn out. |
| 00:42:59 |
Why don't we get a couple of beers |
| 00:43:02 |
Yeah. Let's really tie one on tonight. |
| 00:43:07 |
Bus, call Charlie Madison. |
| 00:43:10 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:43:17 |
You remember we weren't called |
| 00:43:20 |
we were called naval cadets. |
| 00:43:22 |
Yeah! |
| 00:43:26 |
This was before Bancroft Hall |
| 00:43:31 |
because they found |
| 00:43:38 |
You remember when they christened |
| 00:43:43 |
Anyway, "Hey, you cadet," |
| 00:44:03 |
Jesse? |
| 00:44:06 |
Jesse, you think they're gonna... |
| 00:44:10 |
unify the services after the war? |
| 00:44:15 |
Yeah. It looks that way. |
| 00:44:19 |
A joint committee on military affairs... |
| 00:44:22 |
is holding a hearing. The end of June. |
| 00:44:27 |
Ostensibly, it's about the Army's |
| 00:44:32 |
It's really about the Army pushing to be... |
| 00:44:35 |
the dominant service |
| 00:44:37 |
A lot of talk about the Air Corps |
| 00:44:41 |
Yeah. Every senator in Washington... |
| 00:44:46 |
is infatuated with strategic bombing. |
| 00:44:50 |
You don't win a war |
| 00:44:53 |
Right! |
| 00:44:54 |
If you did, Hitler would be sitting |
| 00:44:58 |
Right! Hitler ruled the sky. |
| 00:45:02 |
But he couldn't make it across |
| 00:45:06 |
Right. |
| 00:45:07 |
Hitler had everything, except a navy. |
| 00:45:12 |
Now he's finished. |
| 00:45:16 |
This planet is five-sixths water! |
| 00:45:20 |
God made it that way, |
| 00:45:23 |
In this world, you're as strong |
| 00:45:26 |
- You tell them, Jesse! |
| 00:45:31 |
My father was class of 1869. |
| 00:45:36 |
He beat the Army 2-0... |
| 00:45:38 |
when they were still pitching baseball |
| 00:45:40 |
I wish he was pitching for us this year. |
| 00:45:43 |
My grandfather died slipping a sloop... |
| 00:45:47 |
through the Union blockade at Charleston. |
| 00:45:50 |
I knew we'd get back to the Civil War. |
| 00:45:52 |
My people have shipped out for this |
| 00:45:58 |
ever since Capt. John Smith left |
| 00:46:02 |
And I'm damned if I'm going to see |
| 00:46:06 |
I'll tell you that! |
| 00:46:10 |
By golly! |
| 00:46:12 |
Bus, how is that movie coming along? |
| 00:46:16 |
- Movie, sir? |
| 00:46:17 |
What... |
| 00:46:19 |
- Sir, are you all right? |
| 00:46:22 |
You know, something very strange |
| 00:46:26 |
I'm beginning to like tea. |
| 00:46:29 |
With milk? |
| 00:46:31 |
Charlie? Better come here. |
| 00:46:37 |
Florence! |
| 00:46:40 |
- Take it easy. |
| 00:46:42 |
- Florence! |
| 00:46:44 |
I've got him, sir. |
| 00:46:47 |
- Think we ought to call a doctor? |
| 00:46:51 |
Here we go. On the other side, Bus. |
| 00:46:55 |
Good. There you go. Right. |
| 00:46:59 |
What happened, Bus? |
| 00:47:01 |
I don't know. |
| 00:47:04 |
I told him I couldn't locate |
| 00:47:08 |
Since he hadn't brought it up again, |
| 00:47:10 |
He started yelling for his wife. |
| 00:47:13 |
All right. I'll take care of him. |
| 00:47:14 |
You see Admirals Healy and Hoyle out, |
| 00:47:17 |
Yes. Sure. |
| 00:47:18 |
- Charlie? |
| 00:47:23 |
Charlie, I want you to make |
| 00:47:26 |
I want you to take charge, Charlie. |
| 00:47:28 |
- I want you to make that movie for me. |
| 00:47:40 |
We might as well see some of this film |
| 00:47:44 |
Combat engineers in training. |
| 00:47:46 |
This is a beach somewhere |
| 00:47:49 |
It has been prepared to be an |
| 00:47:52 |
where the invasion of Europe |
| 00:47:55 |
Every foot has been mined. |
| 00:47:57 |
Three years of German ingenuity have |
| 00:48:01 |
How will we get troops, tanks, |
| 00:48:05 |
That's the job of the |
| 00:48:09 |
How did I get into this, anyway? |
| 00:48:11 |
Here on this secret beach in Wales... |
| 00:48:13 |
the Navy engineers train |
| 00:48:17 |
This is only a dry run. |
| 00:48:19 |
On D-day these engineers... |
| 00:48:20 |
will be under heavy mortar |
| 00:48:25 |
Thanks a lot! |
| 00:48:27 |
Shut up, Charlie. |
| 00:48:29 |
You won't like it, Marv. Got lousy reviews. |
| 00:48:33 |
Each squad must clear an alley |
| 00:48:35 |
for our troops to advance on the beaches. |
| 00:48:41 |
These American sailors |
| 00:48:44 |
to assault Hitler's European bastion. |
| 00:48:47 |
That fact, Charlie, is exactly |
| 00:48:51 |
I want you and your photographers... |
| 00:48:53 |
to get into the water |
| 00:48:55 |
Film their activities |
| 00:48:57 |
Would you like us to start the movie |
| 00:49:00 |
No, I've got to run. |
| 00:49:02 |
You're on the right track, Charlie. |
| 00:49:06 |
- Sir? |
| 00:49:09 |
Sir, I get the feeling |
| 00:49:13 |
A lot of men are going to get killed |
| 00:49:16 |
I would like to be relieved |
| 00:49:18 |
Seems like a lot of risk to take |
| 00:49:21 |
I'm ordering you to make |
| 00:49:24 |
That's reason enough. |
| 00:49:26 |
Seems to me, sir, |
| 00:49:30 |
is a matter of naval public relations. |
| 00:49:32 |
No, Commander. What's at stake here |
| 00:49:36 |
the inviolability of command. |
| 00:49:38 |
I've given you an order. |
| 00:49:40 |
You'll obey it, or I'll have you brigged. |
| 00:49:43 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:49:53 |
What do we do now? |
| 00:49:59 |
I don't know what Marvin's going to do... |
| 00:50:00 |
I'm going back to the office |
| 00:50:03 |
What orders? |
| 00:50:04 |
Orders authorizing you |
| 00:50:07 |
to your photographic unit. |
| 00:50:08 |
Come on, Bus. I'm not going to make |
| 00:50:11 |
There are no unattached photographic |
| 00:50:15 |
So you report to me about that next week. |
| 00:50:17 |
Then I'll cut you new orders, |
| 00:50:19 |
pay orders, temporary duty orders. |
| 00:50:20 |
Before I finish cutting orders |
| 00:50:23 |
- Do this my way, Charlie. |
| 00:50:26 |
You've already tried |
| 00:50:29 |
nearly got yourself court-martialed... |
| 00:50:31 |
stripped of your commission... |
| 00:50:32 |
sent to the Arctic Circle |
| 00:50:35 |
Man, you don't tell two-star admirals |
| 00:50:39 |
Now you're on the Admiral's brig list. |
| 00:50:41 |
I'll assign you to Exeter, Portland |
| 00:50:44 |
for the purpose |
| 00:50:47 |
And you just stay |
| 00:50:51 |
I'll assign Emily as your driver, |
| 00:50:56 |
Now, do this my way. |
| 00:51:03 |
A nutty situation, Marv? |
| 00:51:11 |
All right, I'll go to Sussex |
| 00:51:14 |
Not such a bad deal. |
| 00:51:16 |
Sussex should be lovely |
| 00:51:23 |
Sheila would say, |
| 00:51:26 |
She's not doing the bloody poling. |
| 00:51:29 |
It's defiant, is it? Just give it a big push. |
| 00:51:38 |
Help! |
| 00:52:10 |
Charlie. |
| 00:52:23 |
I love you, Emily. |
| 00:52:35 |
How many more weeks do we have? |
| 00:52:38 |
Three, maybe four. |
| 00:52:40 |
I know Adm. Jessup |
| 00:52:43 |
by the end of June. |
| 00:52:49 |
Lord, I hope I don't get pregnant. |
| 00:52:56 |
I've told myself a hundred times, |
| 00:53:00 |
It's a casual thing. |
| 00:53:04 |
Don't get sticky about it, |
| 00:53:09 |
I'm sticky, Charlie. I'm sticky as hell. |
| 00:53:14 |
I'm insanely in love with you. |
| 00:53:19 |
Have you ever given any thought |
| 00:53:28 |
You really do cut to the core of things, |
| 00:53:33 |
I've got some |
| 00:53:40 |
Charlie, let's be honest about this. |
| 00:53:43 |
Emily, we're nuts about each other. |
| 00:53:53 |
But we're basically incompatible, Charlie. |
| 00:53:58 |
It's got nothing to do with that. |
| 00:54:00 |
It's our fundamental approaches to life. |
| 00:54:03 |
I've got this ingrained British morality... |
| 00:54:06 |
and you're the most immoral man |
| 00:54:09 |
You're a shameless coward, |
| 00:54:15 |
and you're pretty ruthless |
| 00:54:21 |
For all your charm, |
| 00:54:26 |
Seems I don't mind |
| 00:54:30 |
but I think it immoral to marry one. |
| 00:54:38 |
You lack principles, Charlie. |
| 00:54:40 |
Isn't there anything you'd die for? |
| 00:54:42 |
Sure. |
| 00:54:44 |
I'd die for you, if it ever came to that. |
| 00:54:48 |
I really believe you would. |
| 00:54:57 |
There are lots of things I'd die for, Emily. |
| 00:55:00 |
My home, my family, my country. |
| 00:55:04 |
But that's love, not principle. |
| 00:55:07 |
Now, if I were to bring |
| 00:55:10 |
and wrestle it just to prove |
| 00:55:13 |
that would be highly principled of me. |
| 00:55:16 |
But what's a lion doing |
| 00:55:21 |
Shut up. |
| 00:55:51 |
Charlie, I've been so silly. |
| 00:55:56 |
I'll give you the signed documents |
| 00:56:00 |
I love you so. |
| 00:56:05 |
Lord, I hope you do get pregnant. |
| 00:57:02 |
What? |
| 00:57:04 |
What is this? |
| 00:57:13 |
- All right. |
| 00:57:16 |
- Shut up. |
| 00:57:19 |
- Close the door. |
| 00:57:22 |
- Will you shut up? |
| 00:57:24 |
- Turn the lights off! |
| 00:57:26 |
I know what it is. I drew it up! |
| 00:57:28 |
It is an order assigning me |
| 00:57:31 |
- I know what it is! |
| 00:57:34 |
- Don't you ever knock? |
| 00:57:36 |
For Pete's sake, Charlie. |
| 00:57:40 |
I'm naked, dear. |
| 00:57:44 |
This is my best friend, you dotty witch, |
| 00:57:47 |
Now, just stand at attention |
| 00:57:52 |
Charlie, ever since |
| 00:57:54 |
I have to dig up my own girls. |
| 00:57:57 |
The Admiral came into my office |
| 00:58:01 |
"I want Madison immediately assigned |
| 00:58:03 |
I cut your orders. |
| 00:58:06 |
report to the port commander, Portland. |
| 00:58:08 |
Tomorrow is June 4. |
| 00:58:10 |
I know tomorrow is June 4. |
| 00:58:12 |
What names? |
| 00:58:13 |
- Names of your camera crew. |
| 00:58:16 |
What's the matter with you, Bus? |
| 00:58:17 |
I know you don't have any camera crew. |
| 00:58:19 |
But by 1000 hours tomorrow morning... |
| 00:58:21 |
I'll cut flight orders |
| 00:58:24 |
on the 1900 hours flight to Portland... |
| 00:58:26 |
with a copy of each to COMINT, SHAEF, |
| 00:58:30 |
and Port Commander, |
| 00:58:32 |
It will take me two hours |
| 00:58:35 |
let alone draft new flight orders... |
| 00:58:37 |
new requisition orders, new pay orders. |
| 00:58:39 |
Don't get swept up with the sheer artistry |
| 00:58:42 |
Look. These orders specifically |
| 00:58:44 |
to the 6th Naval Engineer Unit. |
| 00:58:46 |
That makes this whole silly movie, |
| 00:58:49 |
with a copy each for COMINT, SHAEF, |
| 00:58:55 |
- The balloon is going up any day now. |
| 00:58:58 |
No. The Admiral's been at Southampton |
| 00:59:01 |
more often than he's been in town |
| 00:59:03 |
Now, Charlie! Trust me. |
| 00:59:07 |
All right. |
| 00:59:09 |
Bus, could you assign Emily and me |
| 00:59:13 |
That's lovely up there. |
| 00:59:20 |
This one really takes the cake. |
| 00:59:24 |
We don't have anything |
| 00:59:26 |
What about Cornwall? Land's End, |
| 00:59:29 |
It's very romantic. |
| 00:59:31 |
I have a training station at Falmouth. |
| 00:59:33 |
I can assign you there. |
| 00:59:34 |
Sounds very nice. We'll take it. |
| 00:59:36 |
Bus, I'm marrying her. |
| 00:59:42 |
Charlie! |
| 00:59:43 |
- You're getting a great girl. |
| 00:59:45 |
I'm going to throw you |
| 00:59:47 |
this whole town has ever seen. The works! |
| 00:59:50 |
Formal Annapolis wedding, |
| 00:59:53 |
Congratulations, sailor. |
| 00:59:55 |
Thanks, mate. |
| 00:59:57 |
- Tomorrow morning, buddy. |
| 01:00:06 |
You may stand at ease now, sailor. |
| 01:00:10 |
I don't want 90 proof. |
| 01:00:13 |
They're always making cracks |
| 01:00:16 |
Cmdr. Cummings |
| 01:00:18 |
Is Imogene there? |
| 01:00:19 |
Please have Caroline bring |
| 01:00:23 |
Russians still like their women |
| 01:00:26 |
As far as I know, they do. |
| 01:00:27 |
Now, Jesse, we come to |
| 01:00:31 |
We received a second cable |
| 01:00:36 |
Jesse, your North Pole project |
| 01:00:40 |
unless you start raising a little hell again. |
| 01:00:48 |
Imogene, you haven't lost any weight, |
| 01:00:51 |
Come here a minute. |
| 01:00:53 |
I said, come here a minute. |
| 01:00:54 |
I'll call you back. |
| 01:01:00 |
My God! |
| 01:01:02 |
Holy cow. |
| 01:01:04 |
- Jesse. |
| 01:01:07 |
He's supposed to be in Southampton |
| 01:01:10 |
at a meeting |
| 01:01:12 |
You're out of your mind. |
| 01:01:13 |
He's in a schizophrenic state. |
| 01:01:15 |
I suppose you're right. |
| 01:01:16 |
- He really flipped. |
| 01:01:19 |
I'd better tell Admiral Healy about this. |
| 01:01:27 |
Hiya, Bus. |
| 01:01:29 |
Harry, something serious |
| 01:01:31 |
Adm. Jessup's gone mad. |
| 01:01:32 |
He's flipped. |
| 01:01:35 |
Admiral Healy's on his way... |
| 01:01:36 |
to Southampton with Adm. Jessup |
| 01:01:38 |
No, Adm. Jessup isn't going |
| 01:01:41 |
This is urgent. |
| 01:01:43 |
- What do you mean, he's cracked up? |
| 01:01:46 |
He's lying on the floor right now |
| 01:01:49 |
Do I read you right, Commander? |
| 01:01:52 |
Are you trying to tell me |
| 01:01:57 |
You know, Harry, you are a pompous ass! |
| 01:02:01 |
Now this better not be a gag. |
| 01:02:03 |
You think I would joke |
| 01:02:05 |
The service takes a dim view |
| 01:02:09 |
who call the Special Assistant |
| 01:02:13 |
Come on. You see for yourself, wise guy. |
| 01:02:20 |
Hello, Harry. Adm. Healy ready? |
| 01:02:21 |
He's waiting for you now, sir. |
| 01:02:23 |
Admirals Hoyle and Magneson are with... |
| 01:02:25 |
- All right, what the hell is all this about? |
| 01:02:29 |
The Admiral is a very sick man. |
| 01:02:31 |
This kind of a joke is tasteless enough |
| 01:02:34 |
But from an academy man, it is obscene! |
| 01:02:38 |
You shore sailors ought to do a little tour |
| 01:02:42 |
All right, Spaulding, I've had about enough |
| 01:02:45 |
This blowhard here did four months... |
| 01:02:49 |
as a mess officer in the South Pacific, |
| 01:02:53 |
I didn't ask for a desk job. |
| 01:02:55 |
I've applied for sea duty seven times, |
| 01:02:59 |
If you'll let me finish... |
| 01:03:00 |
Don't just start pulling academy on me. |
| 01:03:02 |
I was a cadet four-striper. |
| 01:03:05 |
You never made more than midshipman |
| 01:03:08 |
This outburst is bad joss, |
| 01:03:11 |
Don't start jacking me up |
| 01:03:14 |
While you two schoolboys |
| 01:03:16 |
And I don't want to hear |
| 01:03:19 |
You civilian sailors think |
| 01:03:22 |
about a man taking pride in his service. |
| 01:03:24 |
Sir, permit me to inform you, sir... |
| 01:03:27 |
that I am damn proud of being |
| 01:03:34 |
- Look, right now... |
| 01:03:39 |
I've got bad eyes. Now, what can I do? |
| 01:03:42 |
You think I wanna to tell my kids |
| 01:03:44 |
their father was shacked up |
| 01:03:47 |
For Pete's sake, Bus. |
| 01:03:48 |
- Adm. Healy wants to see you, Bus. |
| 01:03:51 |
I don't know. They took Adm. Jessup |
| 01:03:53 |
He's flipped again. |
| 01:03:55 |
- We better go to the hotel, Charlie. |
| 01:03:57 |
Healy may want to see both of you, too. |
| 01:04:05 |
A movie to show the first dead man |
| 01:04:09 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:04:10 |
I got an odd letter from |
| 01:04:13 |
That's what I was discussing with Jesse |
| 01:04:16 |
It's nearly 9:40, Tom. |
| 01:04:17 |
I know, just a minute. Yes, here it is. |
| 01:04:20 |
"The President expressed interest in |
| 01:04:24 |
Jessup has written directly to |
| 01:04:27 |
I wish Jesse would keep me informed... |
| 01:04:29 |
even of these private projects of his. |
| 01:04:30 |
"At the end of the meeting, Harry Begely, |
| 01:04:34 |
"made reference to a tomb |
| 01:04:37 |
What tomb |
| 01:04:40 |
I don't know, sir. |
| 01:04:43 |
was in communication with the President |
| 01:04:46 |
Does anyone know about |
| 01:04:48 |
I assume Jessup meant |
| 01:04:51 |
to be the sailor in the tomb. |
| 01:04:53 |
What tomb? |
| 01:04:54 |
- The tomb for the Unknown Sailor, sir. |
| 01:04:59 |
I see. Another one of Jesse's projects. |
| 01:05:03 |
Commander, this movie about |
| 01:05:06 |
- Is such a movie being made? |
| 01:05:08 |
- You see, we've been trying... |
| 01:05:10 |
I want this incident closed, |
| 01:05:13 |
I don't want anything that's happened |
| 01:05:15 |
I don't even want the President |
| 01:05:17 |
Tom. |
| 01:05:18 |
Put together a movie, Commander, |
| 01:05:21 |
who can show it to the President... |
| 01:05:23 |
who will write a polite note |
| 01:05:25 |
- and this unhappy matter will be closed. |
| 01:05:28 |
Harry, I am to be informed every hour |
| 01:05:31 |
- Yes, sir. |
| 01:05:39 |
Now what is so crazy about a tomb |
| 01:05:43 |
I think there's something splendid |
| 01:05:47 |
Yes, it does have a ring to it, doesn't it? |
| 01:05:54 |
How's the old man, Bus? |
| 01:05:57 |
The President has expressed |
| 01:06:02 |
Naturally. |
| 01:06:03 |
The Navy has committed itself |
| 01:06:05 |
and it'll be pretty damned embarrassing |
| 01:06:10 |
So, Charlie, we're going |
| 01:06:13 |
That's very spunky of you, Bus. |
| 01:06:15 |
You and I are going to get on that |
| 01:06:19 |
and we're going to make a movie! |
| 01:06:21 |
I'm going in this with you, buddy. |
| 01:06:22 |
I'm cutting orders |
| 01:06:25 |
Damn it, Charlie. It's exciting, isn't it? |
| 01:06:28 |
Will you quit giving me |
| 01:06:30 |
This is it, boy. This is the big show. |
| 01:06:33 |
And we're going to be in there |
| 01:06:35 |
Just how did you and I suddenly become |
| 01:06:39 |
Charlie... |
| 01:06:40 |
there's a lot more to this movie |
| 01:06:45 |
The Admiral had a much larger vision |
| 01:06:50 |
Apparently... |
| 01:06:53 |
the Admiral's idea is to build a tomb |
| 01:06:59 |
And to put the first dead man |
| 01:07:05 |
Tomb for the what? |
| 01:07:07 |
That's a new one on me. |
| 01:07:10 |
All right, sailors, that'll be all. |
| 01:07:12 |
The Navy wants this movie made |
| 01:07:15 |
You get back to your hotel |
| 01:07:18 |
because we're going on that 2100 flight |
| 01:07:21 |
That's an order, Commander. |
| 01:07:24 |
A tomb for the Unknown Sailor. |
| 01:07:28 |
- Take it easy, Charlie. |
| 01:07:32 |
I think we've forgotten we're officers |
| 01:07:35 |
It's not up to us to approve our orders... |
| 01:07:37 |
even if those orders |
| 01:07:41 |
These are your orders, Charlie. |
| 01:07:43 |
We'll have a mimeographed copy |
| 01:07:46 |
We've been through this before. |
| 01:07:47 |
This movie is an unnecessary piece |
| 01:07:50 |
and I will not risk my life for that. |
| 01:07:53 |
You have your orders, Commander. |
| 01:07:54 |
I'm not going to do it. |
| 01:07:57 |
You will be on that 2100 flight with me, |
| 01:08:01 |
Then you just put me on charges, Bus. |
| 01:08:06 |
Adm. Jessup's office. |
| 01:08:09 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:08:10 |
Yes, we'll be there directly, sir. |
| 01:08:13 |
They want us |
| 01:08:18 |
Sailor! |
| 01:08:20 |
Here, take this down |
| 01:08:23 |
A tomb for the Unknown... Holy cow! |
| 01:08:26 |
He's in one of his Annapolis moods. |
| 01:08:30 |
I'm not going to do it, Bus. |
| 01:08:36 |
I'm not going to do it, Bus. |
| 01:08:43 |
Bus... |
| 01:08:45 |
I'm in love. |
| 01:08:47 |
I'm in love like I never thought possible. |
| 01:08:50 |
Life is especially dear to me right now... |
| 01:08:52 |
and I'm not going to leave mine |
| 01:08:54 |
just to satisfy your grotesque sense |
| 01:08:58 |
You don't think I'm going to spend |
| 01:09:02 |
I can't believe you're serious, Bus. |
| 01:09:05 |
If it's the Navy's public image |
| 01:09:08 |
just think what this will look like |
| 01:09:10 |
"The first dead man on Omaha Beach. " |
| 01:09:13 |
"The tomb of the Unknown Sailor!" |
| 01:09:16 |
What a hurricane Drew Pearson |
| 01:09:19 |
You must remember that |
| 01:09:22 |
the time General Patton |
| 01:09:29 |
Madison, you're despicable. |
| 01:09:32 |
This is insane! |
| 01:09:34 |
How did we ever get into this? |
| 01:09:37 |
You're not fit to wear |
| 01:09:41 |
That was pretty baroque. |
| 01:09:43 |
- Wouldn't you say, Marv? |
| 01:09:48 |
And if you want to make... |
| 01:09:52 |
If you want to make anything out of that... |
| 01:09:55 |
I'll be in my room. |
| 01:09:57 |
I'll send my seconds |
| 01:10:06 |
Marv, it's your turn. |
| 01:10:08 |
Would you like to break my saber |
| 01:10:11 |
or snip off my buttons? |
| 01:10:15 |
You're not going to expose anything |
| 01:10:18 |
You're much too fond of the Admiral. |
| 01:10:19 |
And you're much too decent to expose |
| 01:10:24 |
You're gonna have to find a better angle |
| 01:10:28 |
I'm supposed to be on a plane at 9:00 |
| 01:10:31 |
We're meeting with a Port Commander |
| 01:10:35 |
That's not much time to think up angles. |
| 01:10:40 |
You'll think of something. |
| 01:10:53 |
The Admiral would like to see you |
| 01:10:56 |
- Is he all right? |
| 01:11:24 |
It seems I cracked up, Charlie. |
| 01:11:27 |
That's the price a sane man pays |
| 01:11:31 |
They say a few days in the hospital... |
| 01:11:36 |
I wouldn't mind except that |
| 01:11:38 |
Adm. Kirk asked me to observe |
| 01:11:42 |
Yes, I know, sir. |
| 01:11:44 |
It's tonight, you know. |
| 01:11:48 |
I expect you've already heard. |
| 01:11:50 |
We all knew it was imminent, sir. |
| 01:11:53 |
Yep. |
| 01:11:55 |
The first boats push off at 2130 hours. |
| 01:12:03 |
The first boats push off at 2130 hours, sir? |
| 01:12:06 |
Right. |
| 01:12:09 |
I've never licked military time, sir. |
| 01:12:11 |
2130 hours. |
| 01:12:14 |
Right. |
| 01:12:19 |
Now that's what I call an angle. |
| 01:12:23 |
- Did you say something, Charlie? |
| 01:12:29 |
Now, watch yourself, Charlie. |
| 01:12:47 |
Close that door. |
| 01:12:50 |
- What do you want? |
| 01:12:55 |
I'd like to apologize for |
| 01:12:58 |
I'd like another chance. |
| 01:13:00 |
I've packed my gear. |
| 01:13:02 |
We've got a job to do. |
| 01:13:04 |
I'm ready to do it. |
| 01:13:06 |
Underneath it all, you're a gutsy guy, |
| 01:13:09 |
I don't know what came over me, Bus. |
| 01:13:11 |
I showed the white feather, I suppose. |
| 01:13:13 |
Forget about it. |
| 01:13:15 |
I know we don't have too much time... |
| 01:13:17 |
but could I have leave |
| 01:13:19 |
Of course, Charlie. You're making |
| 01:13:24 |
You do have a tendency |
| 01:13:26 |
Yes, I guess I do. |
| 01:13:29 |
We have seven hours yet. |
| 01:13:31 |
Pick me up around 8:00. |
| 01:13:33 |
I'll have her assigned to drive us |
| 01:13:37 |
- Thanks, Bus. |
| 01:13:39 |
Yeah, just started. |
| 01:14:00 |
You have a couple of minutes |
| 01:14:02 |
Thanks, Bus. |
| 01:14:08 |
Charlie... |
| 01:14:13 |
Write to me. |
| 01:14:15 |
Write to you? |
| 01:14:16 |
With any luck, I'll be back in London |
| 01:14:19 |
Look, honey, let me make it clear again. |
| 01:14:21 |
I couldn't make this invasion |
| 01:14:23 |
The demolition engineers |
| 01:14:26 |
a good two hours before |
| 01:14:28 |
The Port Commander's going to look at us |
| 01:14:31 |
I'll see you tomorrow. |
| 01:14:32 |
It's like you were taking |
| 01:14:35 |
That's what it amounts to. |
| 01:14:37 |
If I can't book a flight, |
| 01:14:41 |
It's a hell of a D-day, that's all I can say. |
| 01:14:44 |
To be honest with you, |
| 01:14:47 |
about this little deceit |
| 01:14:49 |
You've been cackling away all afternoon |
| 01:14:52 |
in which the fate of nations |
| 01:14:56 |
is nothing more to you than a private joke. |
| 01:14:59 |
I just keep thinking of all those men |
| 01:15:02 |
wondering if they'll end up |
| 01:15:04 |
Honey, I'm not cackling because there are |
| 01:15:07 |
I'm cackling because |
| 01:15:10 |
Honey, we're both getting drenched. |
| 01:15:14 |
Charlie! |
| 01:15:19 |
I can't marry you. |
| 01:15:21 |
I've been waiting for that. |
| 01:15:24 |
I don't want to talk about it. |
| 01:15:27 |
Emily, I will not be brushed off |
| 01:15:32 |
For pity's sake, Charlie, |
| 01:15:34 |
Let's end it in one snap |
| 01:15:37 |
No, let's say them. |
| 01:15:40 |
There should be something we regret. |
| 01:15:43 |
All right. I despise cowardice... |
| 01:15:47 |
I detest selfish people, |
| 01:15:51 |
Since you are cowardly, |
| 01:15:53 |
I cannot help but despise, |
| 01:15:57 |
That's not the way a woman should feel |
| 01:16:00 |
- Don't be facile, Emily. |
| 01:16:03 |
I've been up all night staring |
| 01:16:08 |
I signed them. They're in my purse. |
| 01:16:11 |
I was going to give you them |
| 01:16:13 |
but you came prancing in |
| 01:16:16 |
you're playing on Bus, the Navy, |
| 01:16:20 |
Look, I suppose I'm just a stupid romantic, |
| 01:16:25 |
I believe in honor, service, |
| 01:16:30 |
and cricket, and all the symbols |
| 01:16:32 |
which have only civilized half the world. |
| 01:16:35 |
You British plundered half the world |
| 01:16:37 |
- It's not the Age of Enlightenment. |
| 01:16:41 |
Don't get into |
| 01:16:43 |
- It has nothing to do with it. |
| 01:16:46 |
I'm British, |
| 01:16:49 |
I don't want to see you again. |
| 01:16:56 |
General Kitchener aside, Emily, |
| 01:16:59 |
is a woman trying to shake off her lover. |
| 01:17:02 |
If you don't love me, say so. |
| 01:17:05 |
Nobody gets moral unless they're trying |
| 01:17:09 |
You're trying to get out of marrying me. |
| 01:17:13 |
Otherwise, I'll figure |
| 01:17:16 |
- Frightened of what? |
| 01:17:18 |
Don't be an ass. |
| 01:17:20 |
The weekend passion is over. |
| 01:17:22 |
Now it's down to signing applications, |
| 01:17:26 |
you have to commit yourself to life now. |
| 01:17:29 |
I don't want to know |
| 01:17:31 |
I let God worry about the truth. |
| 01:17:33 |
I just want to know |
| 01:17:36 |
Life isn't good or bad or true. |
| 01:17:38 |
It's merely factual. It's sensual. It's alive. |
| 01:17:42 |
My idea of living sensual facts |
| 01:17:45 |
a world, a universe. In that order. |
| 01:17:49 |
I want to know what I am, |
| 01:17:52 |
The fact is, I'm a coward. |
| 01:17:56 |
I'm not. |
| 01:17:58 |
You're the most terrified woman |
| 01:18:00 |
You're even scared to get married. |
| 01:18:03 |
I've already been married. |
| 01:18:05 |
Sure. You married him three days before |
| 01:18:08 |
Thank God he never came back. |
| 01:18:10 |
You're forever falling in love with men |
| 01:18:14 |
That's the limit of your commitments. |
| 01:18:17 |
You prefer lovers to husbands, |
| 01:18:20 |
You'd rather grieve than live. |
| 01:18:22 |
You're not only cowardly and selfish, |
| 01:18:26 |
Come off it. |
| 01:18:27 |
The only immoral thing |
| 01:18:35 |
I'm going to slap your face, Charlie. |
| 01:18:38 |
Go ahead. I won't hit you back. |
| 01:18:42 |
On the other hand, I'm selfish. |
| 01:18:47 |
You're mine, Emily, |
| 01:18:51 |
All you have to say is, "I don't love you. " |
| 01:18:56 |
I don't love you, Charlie. |
| 01:19:01 |
Come on, Charlie! It's time to go! |
| 01:19:05 |
Well, you're a good woman. |
| 01:19:07 |
You've done the morally right thing. |
| 01:19:09 |
God save us all from people |
| 01:19:13 |
It's the rest of us who get broken in half. |
| 01:19:16 |
You're a bitch. |
| 01:19:23 |
I want you to remember |
| 01:19:29 |
I was unregenerately eating a Hershey bar. |
| 01:19:48 |
- What the hell is this all about? |
| 01:19:51 |
What is this, |
| 01:19:54 |
The demolition units sailed two hours ago. |
| 01:19:59 |
You featherheads in London, |
| 01:20:03 |
Who's running this featherheaded war? |
| 01:20:09 |
The demolition units are halfway across |
| 01:20:12 |
The invasion started two hours ago. |
| 01:20:17 |
Heavens. Movies. |
| 01:20:20 |
All right, Edwards, |
| 01:20:24 |
somewhere where they're out |
| 01:20:29 |
But, sir, we didn't know. |
| 01:20:31 |
We'll have to put you up |
| 01:20:34 |
It's D-day, Charlie. Tonight's D-day. |
| 01:20:36 |
Can't you get that through your head? |
| 01:20:41 |
Looks like the feather heading balloon |
| 01:20:44 |
Boatswain, take these officers to a depot... |
| 01:20:47 |
and find some cots for them. |
| 01:21:15 |
How's the invasion going, boatswain? |
| 01:21:17 |
They called it off, sir. Didn't you know? |
| 01:21:19 |
What do you mean, they called it off? |
| 01:21:21 |
The visibility never cleared up enough |
| 01:21:24 |
The whole fleet turned around |
| 01:21:28 |
Looks as if we got to do |
| 01:21:30 |
What do you mean |
| 01:21:33 |
What do you mean, |
| 01:21:58 |
Get your pants on, Mac. |
| 01:22:00 |
Hey, Charlie! |
| 01:22:03 |
- I've got one camera, anyway. |
| 01:22:06 |
- What do you mean, what happened? |
| 01:22:09 |
You mean to tell me that 5,000 boats |
| 01:22:12 |
tanks, airplanes, bombers, |
| 01:22:15 |
- in the middle of the ocean and came back. |
| 01:22:19 |
What do you mean, the moon... |
| 01:22:22 |
The moon didn't come out? |
| 01:22:26 |
Mac, you get some clothes on. |
| 01:22:42 |
- Commander Madison? |
| 01:22:46 |
I was told to report to you, Sir. |
| 01:22:48 |
- What for? |
| 01:22:51 |
Lt. Cmdr. Cummings, |
| 01:22:53 |
and he says, "Anybody here know |
| 01:22:57 |
I say, "Sure, I've made |
| 01:22:59 |
He says, "Okay, you report |
| 01:23:02 |
"Squad Room 6, naval engineers. " |
| 01:23:04 |
Yeah. |
| 01:23:06 |
- Yeah, what? |
| 01:23:11 |
What's this all about, Commander? |
| 01:23:14 |
If I told you, you'd rap me in the mouth. |
| 01:23:16 |
- Here, you men better have a drink of this. |
| 01:23:27 |
Commander, we're running |
| 01:23:33 |
Men, this is the deal. |
| 01:23:37 |
At 1700, we get ferried out to an LST... |
| 01:23:41 |
to join the six naval engineers |
| 01:23:45 |
At 2000 hours, we shove off. |
| 01:23:51 |
At 0500, tomorrow morning... |
| 01:23:54 |
we transfer into an LCVP... |
| 01:23:57 |
with the engineers. |
| 01:23:59 |
We'll be about 3,000 yards |
| 01:24:04 |
We start moving toward the beach... |
| 01:24:06 |
until we get to the minefields |
| 01:24:09 |
Then the engineers get into the water... |
| 01:24:12 |
and start clearing out those minefields |
| 01:24:17 |
We get into the water with them. |
| 01:24:21 |
What for? |
| 01:24:23 |
We're going to make movies. |
| 01:24:26 |
We're going to shoot movies |
| 01:24:28 |
clearing out those minefields |
| 01:24:34 |
Mostly we want to shoot movies |
| 01:24:38 |
especially the first body |
| 01:24:44 |
That's the deal. |
| 01:24:48 |
Commander, I think you're out |
| 01:24:52 |
You can say that again. |
| 01:24:54 |
What's this? |
| 01:24:56 |
That's a camera. |
| 01:24:58 |
How do you work it? |
| 01:25:00 |
How the hell do I know? |
| 01:25:02 |
This is a pretty intricate camera. |
| 01:25:04 |
At home I got a little old |
| 01:25:08 |
I never saw anything like this before. |
| 01:25:10 |
That's what they gave me. |
| 01:25:14 |
I can see the ceiling. |
| 01:25:21 |
I'll tell you one thing. |
| 01:25:24 |
You got to put film in this camera. |
| 01:25:29 |
Are you sure of that? |
| 01:25:32 |
For the love of Mike, |
| 01:25:35 |
If you're going to make a movie, |
| 01:25:38 |
Even I know that. |
| 01:25:40 |
No. We're going to make this movie |
| 01:25:44 |
This movie, sailor, cannot be made. |
| 01:25:48 |
None of us know how to make a movie. |
| 01:25:53 |
Makes sense. |
| 01:25:54 |
I'm cutting out of here. |
| 01:25:59 |
Hey, Commander? |
| 01:26:01 |
Do you see that little kid on the floor? |
| 01:26:05 |
Well, him and me, we've been stoned |
| 01:26:11 |
We started off with |
| 01:26:15 |
and then we got in with |
| 01:26:18 |
and we finished off |
| 01:26:26 |
You got to be pretty stoned |
| 01:26:28 |
I would think so. |
| 01:26:30 |
Commander, we ain't that stoned. |
| 01:26:33 |
We're not that stoned |
| 01:26:36 |
and take any pictures of |
| 01:26:39 |
with no film in the camera. |
| 01:26:41 |
Then what do you say |
| 01:26:45 |
Ain't that swell? |
| 01:26:48 |
All right, men, up and at 'em. |
| 01:26:54 |
You're crocked. You're all crocked. |
| 01:26:57 |
Madison, get this man on his feet. |
| 01:27:00 |
Hold on now, he just fell over on... |
| 01:27:02 |
Now, you listen to me. |
| 01:27:05 |
Get into these clothes |
| 01:27:08 |
or so help me, I'll have you all shot. |
| 01:27:11 |
Stand up in the presence of an officer. |
| 01:27:14 |
How am I going to get you drunks |
| 01:27:22 |
How's the weather up there, sailor? |
| 01:27:24 |
Why don't you guys go to France? |
| 01:27:39 |
Help me out. Thank you. |
| 01:27:54 |
- Now hear this... |
| 01:27:58 |
- We already heard it! |
| 01:28:02 |
All right, Charlie, here's your camera. |
| 01:28:05 |
I'll be back in a minute |
| 01:28:07 |
You are about to embark |
| 01:28:09 |
toward which we have striven |
| 01:28:12 |
The hopes and prayers of |
| 01:28:15 |
go with you. |
| 01:28:17 |
Can it! |
| 01:28:18 |
Lieutenant, can't you |
| 01:28:21 |
All right, you men, shut up! |
| 01:28:23 |
You already read us |
| 01:28:26 |
I know. Now he's reading it. So shut up. |
| 01:28:30 |
All right, now hear this. |
| 01:28:32 |
The hopes and prayers of |
| 01:28:35 |
I'm gonna be sick. |
| 01:28:37 |
Accompanied with our brave allies... |
| 01:28:39 |
brothers in arms on other fronts... |
| 01:28:42 |
you are bringing about the destruction |
| 01:28:46 |
the elimination of Nazi tyranny |
| 01:28:51 |
and security for ourselves in a free world. |
| 01:29:09 |
Cmdr. Cummings wants us |
| 01:29:12 |
Where the hell are we, sailor? |
| 01:29:14 |
About five miles off the coast of France. |
| 01:29:26 |
Yes? |
| 01:29:28 |
Charlie, come in. Close the door. |
| 01:29:30 |
Got a real break. |
| 01:29:31 |
There's a Navy camera unit assigned |
| 01:29:33 |
This is photographer's mate Enright. |
| 01:29:37 |
- Go ahead, sailor. |
| 01:29:40 |
Let me see if I can get this straight. |
| 01:29:42 |
You're going to get in the water |
| 01:29:46 |
As I understand, sir, |
| 01:29:49 |
Pretty rough sea, sir. |
| 01:29:53 |
These cameras are heavy. |
| 01:29:55 |
I've got a suggestion, sir. |
| 01:29:57 |
You and your men stay in the LCVP |
| 01:30:00 |
but your camera will be steady. |
| 01:30:02 |
We want to be on the beach |
| 01:30:05 |
My helmet's off to you, gentlemen. |
| 01:30:08 |
I guess I better get some gelatin |
| 01:30:11 |
We'll be down in the water room |
| 01:30:15 |
Men, before we go down to eat, |
| 01:30:18 |
a message from our supreme commander. |
| 01:30:20 |
"Soldiers, sailors, airmen |
| 01:30:25 |
"you are about to embark |
| 01:30:28 |
"toward which we have striven |
| 01:30:31 |
"The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving |
| 01:30:49 |
All right, sergeants, line them up. |
| 01:30:53 |
Now hear this... |
| 01:31:01 |
Point the camera in the direction |
| 01:31:04 |
- and press this switch over here. |
| 01:31:07 |
First you got to turn this one on. |
| 01:31:11 |
Let's go. |
| 01:31:12 |
All right, men, into the trucks. Let's go. |
| 01:31:18 |
Lower the boats, damn it! |
| 01:31:22 |
Okay, first demolition team over the side! |
| 01:31:34 |
- Where's the kid? |
| 01:31:36 |
All right, Charlie, this is it. |
| 01:31:44 |
All right, First Division. |
| 01:31:45 |
Easy with the camera now, Charlie. |
| 01:31:51 |
Okay. |
| 01:31:54 |
You're up next, sailor. |
| 01:32:58 |
- How much further on, Ensign? |
| 01:33:02 |
Should see the low-water mark any time. |
| 01:33:05 |
5,000-6,000 feet out, Charlie. |
| 01:33:41 |
There's the low-water mark. |
| 01:33:48 |
They're shooting at us. Lower the raft. |
| 01:33:50 |
This is it, Charlie. Let's go. |
| 01:33:52 |
- I'm cold. |
| 01:34:31 |
No, the other way! The beach is that way! |
| 01:34:34 |
I know which way the beach is! |
| 01:34:37 |
You yellow rat, go to that beach. |
| 01:34:40 |
What's the matter with you? |
| 01:34:42 |
Take pictures! |
| 01:34:45 |
What? |
| 01:35:53 |
He's the first dead man on Omaha Beach |
| 01:36:26 |
Emily... |
| 01:36:29 |
Cmdr. Cummings is here to condole again. |
| 01:36:34 |
Mother, I can't very well be condoled with. |
| 01:36:37 |
I'm still pretending Charlie's alive. |
| 01:36:40 |
As long as you know it's still pretending. |
| 01:36:42 |
I do think, Emily, we've had enough |
| 01:36:46 |
It's eight days since you went off |
| 01:36:49 |
You know, you're doing just what I did, |
| 01:36:53 |
I promise you, |
| 01:37:06 |
Absolutely wooden with grief. |
| 01:37:09 |
Yes, of course, I understand. |
| 01:37:13 |
Thought it might make her feel better. |
| 01:37:16 |
I'm onto that. |
| 01:37:19 |
The photograph, ma'am. |
| 01:37:22 |
the first American on Omaha Beach. |
| 01:37:23 |
It's on the front page |
| 01:37:25 |
It can't be said to be a very good likeness. |
| 01:37:29 |
This photograph was on the front page |
| 01:37:33 |
We honestly didn't think |
| 01:37:36 |
Our press office people just sent it out |
| 01:37:39 |
and first thing we knew it was... |
| 01:37:41 |
Mrs. Barham, this picture was in almost |
| 01:37:44 |
- I was sure you'd seen it. |
| 01:37:48 |
Charlie's a hero, ma'am. |
| 01:37:52 |
of holding some sort of ceremony |
| 01:37:55 |
building some sort of monument. |
| 01:37:57 |
A monument? |
| 01:37:58 |
Probably nothing more |
| 01:38:01 |
but the French have indicated |
| 01:38:03 |
to declare Charlie's grave |
| 01:38:05 |
That's depraved. |
| 01:38:07 |
As soon as I get an extra copy of Life |
| 01:38:10 |
What on earth for? |
| 01:38:12 |
This picture of Charlie |
| 01:38:16 |
That's shoddy. |
| 01:38:18 |
A French national monument. |
| 01:38:20 |
I suppose one must expect |
| 01:38:22 |
But you're supposed to be his friend. |
| 01:38:24 |
Couldn't you've done something to keep |
| 01:38:28 |
We're all very disappointed in Charlie... |
| 01:38:30 |
but he's paid his price, |
| 01:38:33 |
I don't think you have this exactly right. |
| 01:38:37 |
Mother? |
| 01:38:38 |
There she is. Now don't say a word to her. |
| 01:38:40 |
I'll tell her when I think she's well enough. |
| 01:38:48 |
Going to work? |
| 01:38:50 |
I don't know how |
| 01:38:52 |
Don't forget that man's still here |
| 01:38:54 |
This is his third condolence visit... |
| 01:38:56 |
and he's going to say comforting things. |
| 01:38:59 |
- He's just a bit sincere. |
| 01:39:10 |
Yes. Emily, you're doing the right thing. |
| 01:39:12 |
Bury yourself in work. |
| 01:39:18 |
Emily, I must warn you, |
| 01:39:21 |
They're going to put up a monument |
| 01:39:23 |
What on earth for? All he did was die. |
| 01:39:28 |
Dear me, we should be celebrating cancer |
| 01:39:32 |
He didn't just die. He sacrificed his life. |
| 01:39:34 |
That was very pagan of him. |
| 01:39:36 |
He was the first American |
| 01:39:39 |
Was there a contest? |
| 01:39:41 |
Emily, why, I don't understand you. |
| 01:39:45 |
I thought you'd be proud. |
| 01:39:49 |
You might as well burn this |
| 01:39:52 |
which I fished out of the garden fire. |
| 01:39:53 |
We no longer take pride |
| 01:39:57 |
What was admirable about Charlie |
| 01:40:00 |
his cowardly, selfish, |
| 01:40:04 |
unadorned and uncertain as it is. |
| 01:40:07 |
I loved him very much. |
| 01:40:08 |
I don't think I shall |
| 01:40:10 |
but I shall try. |
| 01:40:13 |
Are you going back |
| 01:40:16 |
No, I have to stop by the hospital to pick |
| 01:40:20 |
Drop me at the Edgware Road. |
| 01:40:24 |
I thought I saw her peering at me |
| 01:40:34 |
I was damn fond of Charlie. |
| 01:40:37 |
He's one of the few really decent |
| 01:40:41 |
aside from being the best dog-robber |
| 01:40:44 |
What the hell was Charlie |
| 01:40:47 |
Sir? |
| 01:40:48 |
What exactly was this movie |
| 01:40:51 |
What was Charlie doing |
| 01:40:54 |
He was making your movie, sir. |
| 01:40:56 |
Yeah, you keep saying it was my movie. |
| 01:41:00 |
The movie you wanted made |
| 01:41:03 |
I don't remember a... |
| 01:41:06 |
Oh my God, Bus. |
| 01:41:08 |
Was this some idea I conceived... |
| 01:41:13 |
when I was cracking up? |
| 01:41:16 |
And you went ahead and made it? |
| 01:41:18 |
But I was unbalanced at the time. |
| 01:41:21 |
I wasn't responsible. |
| 01:41:28 |
Oh, my God. |
| 01:41:33 |
Sir, we wanted a hero. Now we've got one. |
| 01:41:38 |
You don't send a man to his death |
| 01:41:42 |
The whole purpose |
| 01:41:44 |
to try to find something to catch the eye |
| 01:41:48 |
Remind them that the Navy is still |
| 01:41:52 |
We're trying to keep |
| 01:41:57 |
May God forgive me. |
| 01:42:03 |
If you want to catch the eye of |
| 01:42:07 |
you'll have to bury Charlie in Washington |
| 01:42:10 |
Right in the middle |
| 01:42:13 |
and certainly no farther away |
| 01:42:16 |
I will not authorize funds |
| 01:42:20 |
We need something more immediate. |
| 01:42:22 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:42:23 |
- You got my flight orders? |
| 01:42:25 |
You leave for Washington tonight |
| 01:42:32 |
The only solace for any of us is that... |
| 01:42:35 |
if Charlie were here, |
| 01:42:46 |
All ambulatory patients over here. |
| 01:42:48 |
You are now at the Sixth Medical |
| 01:42:52 |
You'll all be properly taken care of |
| 01:42:56 |
All those who need immediate attention, |
| 01:42:59 |
Magazines, newspapers. |
| 01:43:02 |
Any of you want some magazines? |
| 01:43:04 |
Here you go. |
| 01:43:09 |
Life, Newsweek? |
| 01:43:11 |
Do you want a copy of Life? |
| 01:43:12 |
No, thank you. I've seen it already. |
| 01:43:23 |
You and Adams lock up the shop. |
| 01:43:24 |
I want you both in Washington |
| 01:43:27 |
- And forget about that tomb. |
| 01:43:31 |
Admirals Corning and Ridgeway |
| 01:43:34 |
I don't think they'll get to us |
| 01:43:36 |
- Bus, can I see you a minute? |
| 01:43:40 |
I think you could say |
| 01:43:43 |
I just got a call from the |
| 01:43:46 |
That's where they bring |
| 01:43:48 |
They've got |
| 01:43:51 |
ready to be released. |
| 01:43:52 |
Would we arrange transportation |
| 01:43:56 |
I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. |
| 01:43:59 |
- I don't know if you heard me. |
| 01:44:02 |
- I spoke to him. He's alive. |
| 01:44:05 |
How the hell can he be alive? |
| 01:44:07 |
He got on the phone. Said, "Hi, Paul. " |
| 01:44:09 |
He said, "Paul, do me a favor, |
| 01:44:13 |
I saw him with my own eyes. |
| 01:44:14 |
He also said, "Tell Bus |
| 01:44:17 |
"I'm going to belt him |
| 01:44:20 |
He's alive. |
| 01:44:22 |
The first dead man |
| 01:44:27 |
Boy, that's great. |
| 01:44:29 |
200 newspapers in the US alone, |
| 01:44:32 |
every newsreel in the world, |
| 01:44:34 |
- What's he mad at you for? |
| 01:44:38 |
We had a nice dead hero. |
| 01:44:41 |
- What's wrong? |
| 01:44:43 |
It's no gag. |
| 01:44:45 |
Admiral! |
| 01:44:49 |
Sir, he's alive, damn it. |
| 01:44:51 |
Alive? Madison? |
| 01:44:54 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:44:55 |
In a relocation center in Southampton |
| 01:44:59 |
Thank God. |
| 01:45:01 |
That's wonderful, Bus. Wonderful! |
| 01:45:06 |
Now we can bring your |
| 01:45:11 |
right into Room 610 |
| 01:45:15 |
Sir? |
| 01:45:17 |
I want Madison flown to Washington |
| 01:45:20 |
I want him flown |
| 01:45:23 |
We're going to give Charlie a parade... |
| 01:45:25 |
right down Pennsylvania Avenue... |
| 01:45:28 |
and to the front lawn of the White House... |
| 01:45:30 |
where the President himself |
| 01:45:34 |
I'm not so sure we should involve |
| 01:45:37 |
The President's an old Navy man. |
| 01:45:39 |
He's sympathetic to |
| 01:45:42 |
Yes, sir, but I just don't think |
| 01:45:45 |
Big? |
| 01:45:47 |
We're going to make a brass-band hero |
| 01:45:51 |
using every coarse theatricality... |
| 01:45:54 |
the public relations office |
| 01:45:57 |
When I walk into that Senate office |
| 01:46:02 |
I'll smile my crisp military smile |
| 01:46:06 |
and then, in a perfunctory way, |
| 01:46:10 |
Capt. Ellender here, my technical advisor... |
| 01:46:13 |
and Lt. Cmdr. Charles. E. Madison. |
| 01:46:16 |
Gentlemen, the first American |
| 01:46:21 |
That, Bus, is what is known |
| 01:46:26 |
Doubled, redoubled, and vulnerable. |
| 01:46:31 |
Sir, I'd better really tell you |
| 01:46:34 |
Is he alive? Is that what you're saying, |
| 01:46:38 |
Yes, Miss Barham, we think he is. |
| 01:46:42 |
Oh, dear. |
| 01:46:48 |
Miss Barham, we're almost as happy |
| 01:46:53 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 01:46:54 |
Bus, I want you to drive this young lady |
| 01:46:59 |
just as fast as you can make it. |
| 01:47:00 |
- Yes, sir. |
| 01:47:03 |
- Good-bye, Harry. |
| 01:47:06 |
- Bus. |
| 01:47:09 |
You were going to tell me |
| 01:47:12 |
Nothing, sir. Have a good flight. |
| 01:47:15 |
Don't forget I want him |
| 01:47:18 |
I don't care what brass |
| 01:47:21 |
I'll have him on the first flight |
| 01:47:23 |
You'd better move back there, sir. |
| 01:47:26 |
What I didn't tell the Admiral back there... |
| 01:47:28 |
was that Charlie Madison became |
| 01:47:32 |
because I chased him up there |
| 01:47:35 |
He was, in fact, running the other way... |
| 01:47:38 |
bolting under fire, |
| 01:47:42 |
Our big brass-band hero... |
| 01:47:45 |
is a big brass-band coward! |
| 01:47:49 |
But I didn't tell the Admiral that... |
| 01:47:51 |
because the Navy needs a hero... |
| 01:47:54 |
even a miserable, lousy, yellow, |
| 01:48:00 |
It's a hoax, Emily. |
| 01:48:04 |
That's my Charlie. Craven to the end. |
| 01:48:08 |
- Spaulding. |
| 01:48:10 |
Clear me a space for Madison |
| 01:48:13 |
- I'll call him from the hospital there. |
| 01:48:18 |
Harry, I'm in the administration office |
| 01:48:21 |
I can have Madison at the airport by 1:00. |
| 01:48:24 |
Now don't worry about it. |
| 01:48:26 |
You just clear a place on the plane |
| 01:48:29 |
You told Grisam! |
| 01:48:32 |
He told the public relations office. |
| 01:48:35 |
Harry, we'll have every correspondent |
| 01:48:37 |
What the hell's the matter with you? |
| 01:48:40 |
Why don't you go on through |
| 01:48:42 |
Thank you. |
| 01:49:14 |
You're limping, Commander. |
| 01:49:16 |
The old wound acting up? |
| 01:49:22 |
Where have you been? |
| 01:49:23 |
We expected you back |
| 01:49:27 |
I'm sorry. I had to go |
| 01:49:30 |
It's out of season this time of year. |
| 01:49:33 |
No one worth knowing was there, |
| 01:49:36 |
Very rough element |
| 01:49:40 |
Oh, Charlie. |
| 01:49:44 |
- Careful, my leg. |
| 01:50:02 |
Don't you get within a cane's distance, |
| 01:50:05 |
Come on, don't make |
| 01:50:08 |
I've got a plane waiting |
| 01:50:10 |
We've got to be at the airport |
| 01:50:12 |
There are 20 reporters waiting |
| 01:50:14 |
more piling in every minute. |
| 01:50:16 |
We'll have five minutes for photos |
| 01:50:19 |
- Let me brief you on what you're to say. |
| 01:50:22 |
I don't know how much of my little hoax |
| 01:50:24 |
Enough. |
| 01:50:26 |
Your last words said |
| 01:50:28 |
"Okay, men, let's show them |
| 01:50:31 |
Not quite the epic stature of |
| 01:50:35 |
Yeah, you know. |
| 01:50:37 |
I'm going to tell them the truth, Bus. |
| 01:50:38 |
I'm going to tell anyone who asks |
| 01:50:43 |
We don't have very much time. |
| 01:50:45 |
I'm going to tell them a deranged admiral |
| 01:50:50 |
whose only purpose was to juice up |
| 01:50:54 |
And my gallant wounds |

by my brother officer, the fink... |
| 01:50:59 |
You've got a legitimate beef |
| 01:51:02 |
And that my last inspirational words... |
| 01:51:04 |
as I led the charge |
| 01:51:06 |
"Let's get the hell out of here. " |
| 01:51:09 |
I've had a bad week, Bus. |
| 01:51:10 |
I was in battle |
| 01:51:13 |
I will not contribute |
| 01:51:15 |
I will not help you |
| 01:51:18 |
I want people to know I was a coward. |
| 01:51:20 |
I want them to know |
| 01:51:23 |
I don't understand you. |
| 01:51:26 |
I know what'll happen. |
| 01:51:27 |
I'll embarrass my country, |
| 01:51:29 |
disgrace my admiral, |
| 01:51:32 |
and get thrown in the brig |
| 01:51:34 |
Then why do it? |
| 01:51:35 |
Because it's the right thing to do. |
| 01:51:38 |
I can't believe it. |
| 01:51:40 |
Is this the Charlie Madison who once said: |
| 01:51:42 |
"God save us from all the people |
| 01:51:44 |
"it's the rest of us |
| 01:51:47 |
Are you seriously going to destroy... |
| 01:51:48 |
everything that means anything to you... |
| 01:51:50 |
in a futile gesture of virtue? |
| 01:51:53 |
You're going to put yourself in jail, |
| 01:51:56 |
- I don't care what happens to me. |
| 01:51:58 |
But you do care what happens to me. |
| 01:52:02 |
What am I supposed to do... |
| 01:52:03 |
whilst you sit in your prison cell |
| 01:52:06 |
admiring the glisten |
| 01:52:09 |
Emily, I want the world to know |
| 01:52:12 |
But war isn't a fraud, Charlie. It's very real. |
| 01:52:15 |
At least, that's what you've |
| 01:52:18 |
That we shall never get rid of war |
| 01:52:21 |
It's the virtue of war that's the fraud, |
| 01:52:25 |
It's the valor and the self-sacrifice... |
| 01:52:27 |
and the goodness of war |
| 01:52:31 |
Here you are |
| 01:52:34 |
positively clanking with moral fervor, |
| 01:52:39 |
merely to do "the right thing. " |
| 01:52:42 |
Honestly, Charlie, your conversion |
| 01:52:45 |
All this time, I've been terrified |
| 01:52:48 |
and you, you silly ass, |
| 01:52:52 |
There's a matter of principle involved here. |
| 01:52:54 |
A matter of what? |
| 01:52:56 |
Charlie, didn't you once say: |
| 01:53:00 |
"What's a lion doing |
| 01:53:04 |
Emily, if a man knows the truth, |
| 01:53:10 |
Is this the Charlie Madison who once said: |
| 01:53:13 |
"I'm not equipped to deal with the truth. |
| 01:53:15 |
"I let God worry about the truth. |
| 01:53:18 |
"I just want to know |
| 01:53:21 |
And your idea of facts, you said... |
| 01:53:23 |
Were you, a home, a country, a world... |
| 01:53:27 |
and the universe. In that order. |
| 01:53:31 |
I'm quite prepared to supply all that |
| 01:53:35 |
What do you get out of it? |
| 01:53:39 |
I'll settle for a Hershey bar. |
| 01:53:43 |
Bus, there's a million of them there. |
| 01:53:46 |
There's correspondents all over the place. |
| 01:53:48 |
Hi, Charlie. |
| 01:53:53 |
All right, fink, |
| 01:53:56 |
modest and self-effacing? |
| 01:54:08 |
