Paradine Case The

en
00:02:01 - Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes.
00:02:44 Inspector Ambrose is here,
00:02:49 - Show him in will you?
00:03:05 - Good evening, Inspector.
00:03:07 This is Sergeant Leggott.
00:03:09 - How do you do?
00:03:11 I must say I'm surprised
00:03:15 I can't imagine anything
00:03:18 I know, Mrs Paradine,
00:03:21 but I'm here to arrest you.
00:03:27 That's incredible.
00:03:32 I'm sorry.
00:03:34 - Then you'll want me to go with you?
00:03:39 I'll tell them I won't need dinner.
00:03:42 Will you ring? The bell is there
00:03:47 Do you like the picture?
00:03:49 It was finished a week
00:03:52 before he died.
00:03:55 I think the artist has caught
00:03:58 quite wonderfully.
00:04:02 Mrs Paradine, I have to use
00:04:07 Leakin, ask Helen for
00:04:11 I suppose if I need other clothes
00:04:14 Yes, ma'am.
00:04:20 - Well?
00:04:23 I warn you that you
00:04:26 but that what you say will be taken
00:04:30 The warrant charges you
00:04:34 you administered, or caused
00:04:37 a poisonous substance to Richard
00:04:49 Leakin, I probably won't be back
00:04:51 Very well, madam.
00:04:53 - Tell Cook I'm sorry about dinner.
00:05:04 - Goodnight.
00:05:24 Yes, I know the country very well.
00:05:26 But it's so difficult
00:05:29 - you can't go by car...
00:05:32 Forgive me for being late.
00:05:34 I was dressing for dinner
00:05:37 - I took it in a bath towel.
00:05:40 Sir Simon, my family solicitor.
00:05:42 Yes, we're old friends.
00:05:44 Well, thank you, Sir Simon.
00:05:47 You must excuse an old man.
00:05:49 I'm not very keen on this place.
00:05:51 We'll get out as soon as possible,
00:05:55 When you're ready, we'll make
00:05:58 - Do you want another room?
00:06:00 Just give me
00:06:03 Now, let's not waste words.
00:06:05 I know the police are making
00:06:08 We mustn't despair. Above all,
00:06:11 - You're not despairing, are you?
00:06:14 Let me see.
00:06:17 and ask if you've anything to say.
00:06:19 You'd better say "No".
00:06:23 Understood?
00:06:26 Madelena Paradine...
00:06:28 the charge is that you,
00:06:32 did wilfully murder Richard Patrick
00:06:37 Do you wish to say anything?
00:06:40 - I have nothing to say.
00:06:44 I'll tell your maid to put together
00:06:47 - You're allowed a few things.
00:06:51 At the trial?
00:06:54 I'll get you a distinguished leader
00:06:56 - You know Anthony Keane?
00:06:59 He's good in this sort of thing...
00:07:01 full of charm and cunning.
00:07:04 - Won't it be difficult to get him?
00:07:07 He's on a case in Lincoln now.
00:07:10 I'll go down and talk to him.
00:07:14 It's not as important as his
00:07:17 I think he will.
00:07:20 Goodnight.
00:07:26 Goodnight.
00:07:28 Would you come this way,
00:08:06 - Think it over, Keane.
00:08:12 - Evening, Baker.
00:08:15 - Tony?
00:08:20 I knew it. You didn't have an
00:08:26 You're wet through Tony. Baker,
00:08:30 - You might ask me if I won.
00:08:33 Even if you don't come home dry.
00:08:35 Simmie's car, it leaks.
00:08:37 Come and have a hot shower.
00:08:39 I'll make your drink strong.
00:08:41 - Simmie wants me to take a case.
00:08:44 Mrs Paradine.
00:08:46 - I don't believe she did it.
00:08:49 As her lawyer, I could use
00:08:52 Nice people don't murder
00:08:55 So you think she's nice.
00:08:57 Her photograph looks nice.
00:09:00 If not, she wouldn't have married
00:09:03 Here you are.
00:09:10 - Just right.
00:09:12 So nice people never murder
00:09:15 I suppose
00:09:17 It's amazing how 11 years with
00:09:21 haven't altered your lovely
00:09:26 I'm glad you're defending her.
00:09:28 - Why?
00:09:36 - Not so hard.
00:09:40 Even save their lives.
00:09:44 But you 've changed. 11 years ago
00:09:50 Nonsense, I never turn down
00:09:56 You'd have taken it, but only after
00:10:01 I hardly recognise my lost ideals.
00:10:05 I remember the first time
00:10:07 with 2 tickets for that Shaw play.
00:10:12 You'd forgotten to dress. The look on
00:10:16 It took you 5 years
00:10:19 It took her 50 years
00:10:25 You're reasonably dry.
00:10:28 - I'm not really mental.
00:10:31 If I didn't pretend, I couldn't
00:10:36 I use that sort of talk
00:10:38 - Does it actually work?
00:10:40 - No, we've guests for dinner.
00:10:42 No, Tony.
00:11:03 She's a strange woman,
00:11:22 - How do you do, Sir Simon?
00:11:26 May I present Mr Keane.
00:11:28 - How do you do?
00:11:30 You may take heart now.
00:11:35 - You'll defend me?
00:11:39 A brief skirmish, and you'll be
00:11:42 Really? I haven't been thinking
00:11:46 - I know what you've been thinking.
00:11:48 Yes. Dark thoughts like:
00:11:53 - Grave where is thy victory"?
00:11:56 All the time. Saying I married
00:12:01 Then killed him for money.
00:12:05 It makes him such a fool
00:12:07 We'll have the answers.
00:12:09 You loved him and he needed you.
00:12:12 - You know that?
00:12:14 Of course, I had to be.
00:12:17 Had to be, Mrs Paradine?
00:12:20 You must mind your verbs.
00:12:22 He means it was voluntary service.
00:12:25 You devoted your whole life to him.
00:12:28 Yes. I see what you mean.
00:12:31 It was a sacrifice.
00:12:33 A sublime sacrifice.
00:12:35 Yes, it's better to see it
00:12:37 What's more, Paradine
00:12:41 Couldn't understand your sacrifice.
00:12:45 He'd never seen you.
00:12:51 - He'd never seen you.
00:12:55 I'm not sure if Mr Keane will put you
00:12:59 We needn't trouble Mrs Paradine
00:13:03 When shall I see you again?
00:13:06 As soon as I've gone
00:13:09 - Thank you deeply.
00:13:11 Thankyou for bringing him.
00:13:14 Until the next time, then.
00:13:24 Come along, Keane.
00:13:33 So you think Tony
00:13:35 Let's not go on
00:13:38 All right, don't tell me.
00:13:41 but he loves anything dramatic.
00:13:44 Hold still if you want
00:13:46 The impertinence of young people
00:13:49 - Lf there's one thing I can't abide...
00:13:53 Tony will give another
00:13:56 Riding to the rescue of beauty
00:13:59 How he must relish this.
00:14:00 If the case is before Hawfield,
00:14:04 or he'll be sat upon. Properly.
00:14:07 Hawfield will take it out on Sophie.
00:14:10 Let's not miss a word of his
00:14:13 If I hear once more of his times
00:14:18 Remarkable old girl, Lady Millicent.
00:14:21 We had great times together.
00:14:25 I persuaded her to go swimming at 70.
00:14:28 I watched her and had sad thoughts
00:14:35 Have you swallowed a plum stone?
00:14:38 No Tommy, I'm all right.
00:14:41 I mean, I thought perhaps...
00:14:48 Don't be too long you men.
00:14:53 - but he likes it.
00:14:56 Call me, if the conversation
00:15:05 I see you haven't forgotten
00:15:08 Keane's too good a barrister
00:15:10 Sometimes I wonder how good
00:15:13 - Good enough, or lucky enough.
00:15:16 - There aren't many better.
00:15:21 You have the habit using emotion
00:15:26 I must confess I don't think
00:15:30 Come, come. Keane's not
00:15:32 Don't interrupt me in the middle of
00:15:37 You understand that I'm just
00:15:41 - Will you have a cigar?
00:15:44 Tommy has a great opinion
00:15:47 At least I think he has.
00:15:49 - Your husband is clever, isn't he?
00:15:52 - I think so.
00:15:56 Shall I hurry them up?
00:15:59 if someone doesn't ring a bell.
00:16:03 I shouldn't tell you this...
00:16:05 but I dread it when he takes
00:16:09 He comes home looking so...
00:16:13 Yes, I can well imagine.
00:16:17 trying a capital charge.
00:16:19 Yes, that's very comforting.
00:16:22 They were retrying Charles I,
00:16:25 You've been such a long time.
00:16:32 My dear, I'm sure Keane and Simmie
00:16:36 Would they? I have some
00:16:39 Very much indeed.
00:16:47 You look very appetising tonight.
00:16:50 A charming complement from such
00:16:55 Tell me, Mrs Keane...
00:16:59 I don't amuse you very much,
00:17:01 I've always admired your wit.
00:17:05 You may call upon my wit
00:17:09 Life can be very boring
00:17:12 What makes you think
00:17:14 Don't let's be pedantic.
00:17:17 Golf widows, stock-exchange widows
00:17:21 are the same thing.
00:17:26 Charming ruby.
00:17:28 Did your husband earn all that
00:17:33 Lady Hawfield was admiring it too.
00:17:36 It pleased me because she has
00:17:40 in most things.
00:17:43 Keane, I'm afraid your wife
00:17:48 Pity.
00:17:56 - Are you coming to bed?
00:17:58 You'll be tired in the morning.
00:18:00 - Dull evening, wasn't it?
00:18:12 I've a murderous day tomorrow.
00:18:14 I shoudn't have let Simmie talk me
00:18:18 Did you see Mrs Paradine?
00:18:21 What's she like?
00:18:24 Strangely attractive.
00:18:28 I'm sure you'd think so anyway.
00:18:30 - No, I wouldn't.
00:18:33 She's cost me too much.
00:18:35 Cost you?
00:18:37 What are you talking about?
00:18:39 If you don't remember,
00:18:44 The anniversary trip I promised.
00:18:47 We'll still make it.
00:18:49 Maybe before the case
00:18:51 It's all right darling.
00:18:52 Your excitement will always be
00:18:56 - and other musty law courts.
00:19:00 how much fun
00:19:03 - Italy? I thought it was Switzerland.
00:19:07 But Italy seems
00:19:11 Might go back to Venice.
00:19:15 Darling.
00:19:17 - What's the matter? What's amusing?
00:19:20 I can't imagine anything better than
00:19:26 - What is it then?
00:19:30 so transparent.
00:19:32 And for such a devious kind of
00:19:34 You're pretty devious yourself.
00:19:37 Come on, tell the jury
00:19:40 All right. Mrs Paradine is
00:19:43 And isn't Italy colourful?
00:19:46 Idiotic nonsense!
00:19:47 I thought you might be pleased
00:19:50 It isn't that. How can you think
00:19:52 Of course you're not interested.
00:19:55 I hope you're not so old you can't
00:19:59 But I want you to know something.
00:20:02 Lots of men find me attractive too.
00:20:05 Is that so? Who, for instance?
00:20:08 - Well, there's Tommy, for instance.
00:20:10 Tommy Hawfield.
00:20:21 It's getting late.
00:20:42 That's enough for today.
00:20:46 - Yes, they're very kind.
00:20:49 - No, they have a good library.
00:20:53 Soon, I'd like to talk to you
00:20:56 Before you met Colonel Paradine.
00:20:59 - Will that be necessary?
00:21:03 Prosecution try to tear down
00:21:06 I wouldn't like them to have
00:21:09 My past is no affair of anyone
00:21:13 And my husband is dead.
00:21:16 The defendant's background
00:21:24 And how far back will this
00:21:27 As much as I dislike it,
00:21:31 anything you think might be...
00:21:39 I must say, it's essential
00:21:45 Forgive me if I'm being difficult.
00:21:48 I shall try. It won't shock you,
00:21:51 to learn that I am a woman...
00:21:55 who has seen a great deal of life.
00:21:58 Please don't mistake my persistance
00:22:04 When I was still at school in Naples
00:22:07 I was 16, or so I said.
00:22:09 Actually I was younger.
00:22:11 - Tragic.
00:22:15 But I didn't think so then.
00:22:17 I ran away with a man.
00:22:20 Istambul, Athens, Cairo.
00:22:23 He was much older, of course? Rich.
00:22:28 He was married, respected.
00:22:33 Then, as suddenly as it began,
00:22:37 He wearied of me, and me of him.
00:22:41 There were others?
00:22:44 Of course.
00:22:46 We cannot hide these things.
00:22:48 You said so.
00:22:51 Let's drag them out.
00:22:54 No. You mustn't feel that. We won't
00:22:57 Poor Dickie. He would've hated
00:23:00 He gave me his name, his fine name.
00:23:04 He knew all about you?
00:23:07 I kept nothing from him.
00:23:11 He used to sit in the dark,
00:23:15 - and weep. The pain...
00:23:19 We'll get you free.
00:23:22 I shall.
00:23:47 Why not let The Crown have to prove
00:23:51 What objection can you have
00:23:54 I think it's dangerous. Remember,
00:23:57 You all have such an unholy fear
00:24:00 What's on your mind, Keane?
00:24:03 Blind men have
00:24:06 We have only to decide
00:24:11 Here, let me show you something.
00:24:15 Do you realise what you can learn
00:24:18 The social footsteps of time.
00:24:24 - Notice anything peculiar?
00:24:27 And everywhere
00:24:30 - the valet was sure to go.
00:24:34 LaTour worshipped him.
00:24:38 Like a mother hen.
00:24:40 - It's after midnight.
00:24:44 It's after one, I heard the clock.
00:24:47 - But I'm not sleepy. I have to work.
00:24:50 - Well, he isn't dead.
00:24:53 - What about some drinks?
00:24:56 Baker's asleep.
00:24:59 I'll bring them myself.
00:25:01 - That's our man. I'm sure of it.
00:25:05 - The valet?
00:25:07 - to help Paradine out of his misery?
00:25:11 The devoted servant and war
00:25:14 who'd do anything to help end
00:25:16 It won't wash Tony.
00:25:19 This wasn't suicide, or assisted
00:25:23 - Are you saying LaTour murdered him?
00:25:27 - Who then?
00:25:33 - So you think she killed him?
00:25:36 There's no sense going into court
00:25:40 We have to prepare to answer
00:25:44 - I'll have an answer.
00:25:49 To begin, we've the obvious fact
00:25:53 - She's too fine a woman.
00:25:55 I thought she was a woman
00:25:58 Of rather easy virtue.
00:26:00 You're an insufferable snob.
00:26:03 Incapable of recognising
00:26:07 I hope the Crown tries to foul
00:26:11 I'm sorry, I didn't realise
00:26:15 I've talked to her for hours and I've
00:26:19 I've seen the decent,
00:26:21 I intend the world
00:26:24 As a noble self-sacrificing person
00:26:31 We've...
00:26:33 run out of soda water.
00:26:36 Ordinary water will do.
00:26:39 Shall I pour yours, Sim?
00:26:42 Please, a strong one.
00:27:04 La Tour worshipped the Colonel.
00:27:07 He was alone with him,
00:27:10 So if the Colonel, blind, helpless,
00:27:15 there was only one person he could
00:27:17 - I won't say that.
00:27:20 - That Andre helped him.
00:27:24 LaTour.
00:27:27 You call him Andre, the valet?
00:27:30 I'm not trained in the subtle
00:27:34 My class? You don't know me
00:27:38 I know you.
00:27:40 Always ready to sacrifice
00:27:44 You're very eager
00:27:48 From even
00:27:50 - What do you mean?
00:27:53 As if what?
00:27:56 I'm confused by your attitude to
00:28:01 This is impossible.
00:28:03 I'll not listen to any more
00:28:08 You spoke as my rescuer.
00:28:10 Talked about a brief skirmish.
00:28:13 Yes, so I did.
00:28:15 I'll try to recover my position
00:28:21 We'll drop LaTour for now.
00:28:24 Keane's given up the idea of
00:28:28 He hasn't been able to talk
00:28:31 Has he got a substitute?
00:28:34 I don't know.
00:28:36 - He's turning detective.
00:28:39 He's going to Cumberland to
00:28:43 But the thing happened in London.
00:28:46 I'm bored with this game,
00:28:49 The adventures of Anthony Keane
00:28:52 I don't know where you got
00:28:57 Your mother was a simple woman,
00:29:01 I'm glad your not going on with
00:29:05 - Is Tony infatuated with that woman?
00:29:08 Where do you get
00:29:11 Tell me, why is Hindley Hall
00:29:14 It's not open. There's the
00:29:16 What plot
00:29:19 Is that handsome valet still there?
00:29:21 No more questions. If you won't
00:29:28 I'll bet there's something between
00:29:33 Valet? Where did you get
00:29:38 Why are you looking so funny?
00:29:42 I wondered if he could've
00:29:44 That she and the valet...
00:29:47 - He's jealous of that valet.
00:29:50 Don't come, come me. Have you ever
00:29:54 Tony is still in love with Gay.
00:29:57 If he lets Gay down,
00:30:00 Such things do happen.
00:30:03 but your education was paid for
00:30:07 - He's in love with that woman.
00:30:10 I've never seen it to fail.
00:30:12 Men who've been good too long,
00:30:16 Where did you read that? Tony's too
00:30:19 Really? The best men always end up
00:30:22 He's after her boyfriend. That's
00:30:25 - That's absurd.
00:30:28 Answer me.
00:30:29 I'll not be treated as a hostile
00:30:33 Men are such horrible beasts.
00:30:35 I wish I were married to Keane.
00:30:39 I wish you were married to someone.
00:30:44 I hope... No, I don't hope
00:30:49 I don't like breaking pretty things.
00:30:52 But I do hope they send her
00:30:56 What's she really like?
00:30:59 Fascinating. Fascinating.
00:31:02 I'm an old ruin, but she brings
00:31:09 Poor Gay.
00:31:40 - Hello, Tony.
00:31:43 - You're late.
00:31:46 I wasn't.
00:31:50 Well, I'll be off to bed.
00:31:53 Tony?
00:31:57 - Yes, dear.
00:31:59 don't seem quite myself...
00:32:04 I'm sorry you're not feeling well.
00:32:11 Tony, couldn't we get away?
00:32:12 Just for a little while?
00:32:16 I've never seen you
00:32:18 - Just a good night's sleep.
00:32:22 For our anniversary.
00:32:28 Some things are more important
00:32:33 You didn't use to think so.
00:32:36 In fact, I may have to go away.
00:32:40 The Paradines lived a lot of the time
00:32:46 I thought I might
00:32:49 See what I can pick up.
00:32:51 And get a breath of fresh air.
00:32:53 That sounds wonderful. You won't be
00:32:56 It's only for a day or two.
00:33:02 It wouldn't be any fun for you.
00:33:05 You see that, don't you?
00:33:07 Yes, I see.
00:33:09 It might be cold and wet up north.
00:33:12 Yes, I suppose so.
00:33:16 This is the place for you.
00:33:21 I want to keep all this ugly business
00:33:24 - But can you?
00:33:26 Keep the ugliness away?
00:33:29 Haven't I always?
00:33:34 What are you afraid of?
00:33:37 Need I say?
00:33:51 Listen, this settles it. Nothing is
00:33:55 I won't go to Cumberland. I won't
00:33:58 - Tony.
00:34:00 - But what will she say?
00:34:04 matter what she says?
00:34:07 The case isn't so difficult.
00:34:12 Is that what you want? We'll leave
00:34:16 - Darling.
00:34:19 Nothing's the matter. Just thank you.
00:34:23 for being so good.
00:34:27 I knew my old Tony couldn't have
00:34:30 Well, what do you say?
00:34:34 No, darling, neither. You're
00:34:37 then you're coming back
00:34:41 No, I am tired. You're right.
00:34:43 You're not too tired, Tony.
00:34:47 There aren't 50 men
00:34:50 There's only one Anthony Keane.
00:34:53 You've always had such big ideas
00:34:56 No I haven't. Besides,
00:35:01 I don't know what you mean.
00:35:03 I wouldn't like a woman to be
00:35:06 just because my husband had
00:35:10 In jail.
00:35:12 Oh, Gay.
00:35:16 Let's go to bed darling.
00:35:19 Not now.
00:35:21 - You'll come up to Cumberland?
00:35:25 Cosy, comfortable and protected.
00:35:30 Goodnight darling.
00:35:32 Goodnight.
00:36:35 - Have I a sitting room?
00:36:37 - Do you want to see it?
00:36:41 Would you like some fish and salad
00:36:44 No, thank you. Any chance of
00:36:47 Okey-doke.
00:36:50 Your bedroom's number 17,
00:36:53 Thank you.
00:36:54 - Are you a detective?
00:36:57 - Oh, I just wondered.
00:37:01 - Have you had trouble here?
00:37:05 But we don't like
00:37:07 Haven't you heard about
00:37:09 That was Colonel Paradine.
00:37:12 Your fire's going out.
00:37:15 - Yes, I heard about that.
00:37:17 We found a dead owl in it.
00:37:20 That murder's been the talk of the
00:37:24 That's better. The sticks were damp
00:37:28 - Did you know her?
00:37:31 She'd ride over here once in a while
00:37:34 Pleasant enough,
00:37:37 - Did she always ride alone?
00:37:40 Yes, now I come to think of it,
00:37:45 And now the Colonel's dead
00:37:48 I heard it was. That's why
00:37:51 Oh, that's why you're here.
00:37:54 - Will you see the house tomorrow?
00:37:56 Would you mind the pony and trap?
00:38:00 - It's only about 8 miles.
00:38:03 Okey-doke.
00:38:21 Up there in those trees is the hall.
00:38:27 Many times I've seen him out
00:38:32 - Andre?
00:38:35 The queer one.
00:38:49 - Is anyone living at the hall now?
00:38:54 Maybe Andre's back
00:38:57 They say he knows more about
00:39:02 He's a queer one all right.
00:39:05 - In what way?
00:39:08 He keeps himself to himself.
00:39:11 Never seem quite the same,
00:39:41 Hey, LaTour. Here's a gentleman from
00:39:45 - I'm interested in renting the house.
00:39:52 Will you come in please?
00:40:06 If you'll wait here Mr Keane,
00:40:23 - Isn't he coming back?
00:40:26 Will you step this way?
00:40:30 This is the morning room,
00:40:34 It has a fine view, sir.
00:40:40 He loved her to describe it...
00:40:42 each time the seasons changed.
00:40:46 - Did she...
00:41:03 And this was her room, sir.
00:41:07 I'm sorry it's so untidy,
00:41:11 If you'll excuse me,
00:42:37 LaTour.
00:42:39 - Sir?
00:42:41 - Would you take me round?
00:42:44 Wait there for me,
00:42:55 Don't bother with the other rooms.
00:42:59 Very well, sir.
00:43:05 What door's that?
00:43:08 It's LaTour's room.
00:43:11 LaTour? Why wasn't he
00:43:14 She felt he should be near
00:43:21 Well, I may drop in again to...
00:43:24 tomorrow.
00:43:29 - Where's LaTour?
00:43:33 - But he was to show me the garden.
00:43:38 All right, back to the inn.
00:44:50 Can I have a word with you, sir?
00:44:54 Come in.
00:45:00 - What can I do for you?
00:45:06 - How did you know this was my room?
00:45:10 And then this light go on.
00:45:12 - You've been watching the inn?
00:45:17 - To see me?
00:45:19 It came to my mind it would be well
00:45:23 Sit down.
00:45:30 Why didn't you come to the front
00:45:35 They'd all gone to bed. I didn't
00:45:39 - But you might have come earlier.
00:45:42 - Why not?
00:45:48 - What is it you want with me?
00:45:50 but I thought it was you
00:45:53 - What caused you to think that?
00:45:57 I didn't come to the hall to see you.
00:46:01 But you asked me
00:46:03 Yes. You said you would and then
00:46:08 Why?
00:46:09 I don't know.
00:46:12 I think first: "No, I do not want
00:46:17 And then I think perhaps I'm wrong.
00:46:21 Remember this LaTour:
00:46:23 You forced yourself on me.
00:46:27 You're going to be a very hostile
00:46:31 And you're not
00:46:34 And it would be most improper
00:46:37 try to establish contact with you.
00:46:41 - I came on you entirely by chance.
00:46:45 You say so,
00:46:47 to save the life
00:46:50 Beg pardon.
00:46:52 Colonel Paradine was my master.
00:46:54 Have it your own way.
00:46:56 I would never
00:46:58 It's not in my character to do that.
00:47:00 I insist upon knowing your reason
00:47:04 If you tell me why you came
00:47:08 I'll tell you why I came here.
00:47:12 So it's to be a bargain is it?
00:47:15 Why should I
00:47:17 Call it what you like.
00:47:21 You tell me and I'll tell you.
00:47:24 Seems fair enough to me.
00:47:31 Cigarette?
00:47:33 - No, thank you, sir.
00:47:35 I won't smoke, sir. Thank you.
00:47:40 I know why you wanted to see me:
00:47:45 She? Mrs Paradine doesn't know I'm
00:47:50 - Seems I'm wrong then.
00:47:53 She might have her reasons.
00:47:56 - I don't know what they might be.
00:48:01 Mrs Paradine is my client. I know her
00:48:06 You may not think it, but you're
00:48:11 - And I tell you so.
00:48:15 You'd better make yourself clear.
00:48:17 Excuse me. You've only known her
00:48:22 Is it not so?
00:48:25 If you did,
00:48:28 that only Almighty God...
00:48:30 or the Devil himself
00:48:33 - I won't hear any more against her.
00:48:37 What I say is true.
00:48:40 And I will tell you one thing more.
00:48:43 I will tell you about Mrs Paradine.
00:48:45 She's bad, bad to the bone.
00:48:49 she is one.
00:48:59 Would you mind
00:49:00 I don't want any dirty,
00:49:04 - Get out.
00:49:11 But if you'll allow me sir...
00:49:14 I'm very sorry for you.
00:49:16 God help you.
00:49:36 - Here you are, sir.
00:49:48 - How are you?
00:49:51 I've been out of London.
00:49:53 I went up to Hindley Hall.
00:49:57 Why did you go there?
00:49:59 I thought it'd help me to know
00:50:02 I walked on the terrace, went
00:50:08 I saw LaTour.
00:50:14 He avoided me then forced himself
00:50:20 - Why did he do that?
00:50:24 About you.
00:50:26 Indeed. And what did my husband's
00:50:30 Don't, I beg of you, don't
00:50:33 I don't know what you mean.
00:50:36 LaTour hates you. You know that?
00:50:46 He said you're an evil woman.
00:50:52 Do you know
00:50:55 This man despises you. Why?
00:50:58 - He despises all women.
00:51:01 It's you he hates,
00:51:03 The jury will find a reason for it:
00:51:07 - Can't you see that?
00:51:10 You needn't explain these things
00:51:13 Listen to me.
00:51:15 I want to save you.
00:51:17 But I can't like this,
00:51:19 I can't sleep, I can't work,
00:51:22 I don't understand you.
00:51:24 All right.
00:51:26 Is it possible that
00:51:29 because you made him
00:51:34 - That's enough Mr Keane.
00:51:37 I will not be treated this way
00:51:40 I'd prefer you
00:51:42 No, I must save you. No-one else can.
00:51:46 Forgive me if I regard
00:51:54 I apologise. Deeply.
00:52:01 If you'll forgive me, I...
00:52:04 I'll do my best to defend you.
00:52:16 I'm a little tired.
00:52:18 I think you also are a little tired.
00:52:38 Tony back from Cumberland?
00:52:41 - Sorry Judy, what did you say?
00:52:45 I asked if Tony was back
00:52:47 He was due back this mornng.
00:52:50 I haven't seen him yet.
00:52:55 Give me a cigarette will you Judy?
00:52:57 - When did you start smoking?
00:53:02 Poor Father, I'm afraid he's failed
00:53:05 - What do you mean?
00:53:08 "Do not ask questions,
00:53:11 Only vulgar people probe."
00:53:14 You're my best friend, Judy.
00:53:17 You must know
00:53:19 I know it's probably exaggerated...
00:53:22 Would it surprise you Judy, to know
00:53:28 Surprise me? It'd floor me.
00:53:31 Why didn't he then?
00:53:33 Because I wouldn't let him.
00:53:35 Suppose someone else
00:53:39 It would've been won or lost.
00:53:42 the little romance of Gay and Tony
00:53:48 Perhaps so.
00:53:49 Judy, just because a man, a husband,
00:53:55 you don't treat him as a criminal.
00:53:57 - You don't.
00:54:01 It's very painful, but it's
00:54:06 He's very fond of me,
00:54:11 Even if it means letting him go?
00:54:14 No, simply by not making him
00:54:19 After all, I don't own him.
00:54:23 I only love him.
00:54:32 - Hello, Baker, Mrs Keane home?
00:54:36 Hello, darling.
00:54:39 You're just in time for tea.
00:54:41 Well, pour me a cup, will you?
00:00:10 Hello, darling.
00:00:13 You're just in time for tea.
00:00:15 Well, pour me a cup, will you?
00:00:20 - How was the journey?
00:00:28 - You're doing your hair a new way.
00:00:31 You've seen it like this
00:00:39 - Would you rather I didn't talk?
00:00:43 Nothing. It's just you look tired.
00:00:46 No, there's really nothing to tell.
00:00:50 It's a big house. Rather what you'd
00:00:55 Oh, Tony.
00:00:58 What is it you...
00:01:00 want to know about?
00:01:02 Nothing, actually I...
00:01:16 Shall we dine early or would you
00:01:24 I suppose you hate her,
00:01:29 Let's not talk about it Tony.
00:01:33 You're hoping that I'll
00:01:41 I wouldn't blame you, darling.
00:01:49 You've been my life, Tony.
00:01:52 Do you think I could ever want
00:01:57 No, I suppose not.
00:02:00 I won't deny there've been moments
00:02:06 It's not easy to face
00:02:10 Iosing you.
00:02:12 We've been really married.
00:02:15 As few people have been.
00:02:21 Yes, I've lain awake alone,
00:02:25 And I've been tempted to pray...
00:02:29 But I've come to a conclusion,
00:02:34 I want her to live.
00:02:37 I want very much for her to live.
00:02:39 And I hope she gets free, scot free.
00:02:45 To take other husbands or anything
00:02:50 I don't understand. You can't really
00:02:54 But I do, I care very much.
00:02:57 Not for any noble reasons.
00:03:02 But because I want
00:03:05 and an end to you being all mixed up,
00:03:09 What nonsense. Nonsense.
00:03:13 All right. Frustrated lover then.
00:03:23 Yes, and part husband still.
00:03:28 You wouldn't have come back
00:03:33 I've seen your torture and...
00:03:35 I've loved you more for letting
00:03:39 - I know the depth of your feelings.
00:03:41 I know it and I'm counting on it.
00:03:44 All I ask is that she lives so the
00:03:47 Because, if she dies...
00:03:51 you're lost to me forever.
00:03:55 You'll go on thinking
00:04:00 imagining her as your
00:04:06 May I tell you something Tony?
00:04:09 You don't love her.
00:04:12 You don't. I'm not the cleverest
00:04:17 I don't know lots of things.
00:04:19 But there's one thing I know better
00:04:22 I know you.
00:04:23 - My dear, if only I...
00:04:26 But I ask you for the most
00:04:31 I want you to win this case.
00:04:34 I want you to get her free.
00:04:42 There.
00:04:45 I've made my speech.
00:04:49 What a speech.
00:04:51 That's what comes from
00:04:59 I'm going up to change now.
00:05:05 - Are you coming?
00:05:35 Are you ready, Mrs Paradine?
00:05:46 Silence. All persons
00:05:50 before the courts
00:05:52 take delivery of the jurisdiction
00:05:56 draw near,
00:05:59 - Wait here.
00:06:03 Bring forth the prisoner.
00:06:32 Madelena Ana Paradine...
00:06:34 you're charged with the murder of
00:06:38 on May 6th last. Are you
00:06:42 Not guilty.
00:06:48 Gay, how can you stay away?
00:06:51 Tony won't see you. We'll be in the
00:06:56 On the night of May 6th, at a time
00:07:01 someone administered to Paradine
00:07:07 At half past 9, he was heard
00:07:09 and a few minutes later
00:07:12 before he could be reached by
00:07:16 Andre LaTour.
00:07:18 You'll hear that on the night
00:07:22 between Coronel Paradine...
00:07:25 Mrs Paradine
00:07:28 The Coronel, in an agitated state,
00:07:34 The butler took
00:07:36 a dinner of roast chicken,
00:07:41 and cauliflower au gratin.
00:07:44 he asked for a glass of burgundy
00:07:48 so he would know exactly
00:07:51 A glass of burgundy,
00:07:55 Farrell's off
00:07:57 You're aware
00:08:00 He was a man cast
00:08:03 One looks back on his life
00:08:07 He was like a reincarnation from the
00:08:11 Incredibly daring,
00:08:15 and this man, this man
00:08:19 is doomed suddenly to darkness
00:08:23 Members of the jury, we must
00:08:27 chained to a ruined giant, who was
00:08:32 One could forgive an occasional
00:08:38 But the odd thing is that outwardly
00:08:43 Heaven knows what sultry fires
00:08:47 It would've been a strain to any
00:08:52 But this woman...
00:08:55 is no ordinary woman.
00:08:59 She could wait.
00:09:03 no ordinary woman.
00:09:09 Leakin, after you served dinner to
00:09:15 he asked you for
00:09:18 - Is that correct?
00:09:20 Would you call that a suitable
00:09:23 No sir, I would not.
00:09:26 Answer my questions, please.
00:09:28 Had he ever asked for a burgundy
00:09:32 - No sir, not that I can remember.
00:09:36 It usually didn't
00:09:38 - but sometime...
00:09:40 He's building
00:09:42 One moment, Leakin.
00:09:45 You told the jury that the Colonel
00:09:49 because it disagreed with him.
00:09:52 Oh no, my lord.
00:09:54 - But seldom dared take it.
00:09:58 - Hawfield's killed that point.
00:10:01 By making it clear there's nothing
00:10:04 I was anxious that the point
00:10:08 Well, thank you, my lord.
00:10:17 No questions, my lord.
00:10:21 Andre LaTour.
00:10:48 Take the testament in your
00:10:53 "I swear by Almighty God...
00:10:55 that the evidence I shall give, shall
00:10:59 and nothing but the truth."
00:11:02 - Your name?
00:11:06 - Your age?
00:11:07 You were born in Montreal, Canada and
00:11:13 Yes, sir. I was
00:11:16 and later I had the honour
00:11:18 You won the Distinguished Conduct
00:11:22 That is so, sir.
00:11:23 At the time of Paradine's death...
00:11:25 you were again employed as his valet
00:11:29 - Yes.
00:11:32 You were very attatched to
00:11:35 He was the best man I ever knew
00:12:25 Very well then. At about 8 o'clock
00:12:29 You went upstairs
00:12:31 You saw the Colonel and
00:12:34 What happened then?
00:12:36 He looked at me for a minute, in his
00:12:42 Try to give us his exact words.
00:12:44 He said: "Do I understand
00:12:48 Now, when I need you most?"
00:12:51 I asked him who had told him
00:12:53 He said:
00:12:55 "She did."
00:12:57 - Did he say anything else?
00:13:00 He used strong language.
00:13:02 - Did you intend to leave him?
00:13:06 Do you know
00:13:09 would tell her husband
00:13:12 She wanted to get rid of me.
00:13:16 You told us yesterday that when you
00:13:20 you saw Mrs Paradine in the hallway
00:13:24 - You're certain of that?
00:13:27 Where's that plan?
00:13:30 I have here a plan of the house.
00:13:33 The upper floor.
00:13:35 Do you think she was passing directly
00:13:41 - Yes, sir.
00:13:43 That will be all for
00:13:45 LaTour lied about the quarrel.
00:13:58 Does the name of Margaret Wells
00:14:02 - Yes, sir.
00:14:08 I must try to help your memory.
00:14:11 I put it to you that some years ago
00:14:13 to Margaret Wells
00:14:16 On your wedding day, she left you
00:14:19 - with a saddler named Richard Truman.
00:14:22 Your question may be relevant,
00:14:26 My lord, the witness has shown
00:14:31 an almost pathological bias, against
00:14:36 I may be stupid, but I can't see what
00:14:40 After seeing the witness,
00:14:43 I'm inclined to regard the lady's
00:14:48 Silence.
00:14:50 Proceed to your next question.
00:14:52 Very good, my lord. If I'm
00:14:55 for his hostile
00:15:00 Were you aware that Paradine made
00:15:08 Come, come.
00:15:10 Colonel Paradine told me he might
00:15:14 But I didn't
00:15:15 He told you he was going to leave you
00:15:19 - No, sir, I did not doubt his word.
00:15:22 Yes, sir.
00:15:22 Then you knew and believed you would
00:15:29 - Please answer the question.
00:15:32 You're being asked if you knew
00:15:35 3500 pounds if Paradine died.
00:15:39 We never discussed it.
00:15:44 Yes, I knew.
00:15:45 You don't remember very
00:15:50 Now please think carefully
00:15:53 And remember
00:15:55 When you were in London,
00:15:58 repeatedly hear Colonel Paradine
00:16:03 - That he wished he was dead, sir?
00:16:08 Andre LaTour, do you deny
00:16:13 again and again, to you
00:16:15 that he was sick of life
00:16:18 He said a lot of things when he
00:16:21 I got so accustomed to them
00:16:24 You didn't take much notice.
00:16:28 Very well. Would you tell the court
00:16:34 8 o'clock on May 6th?
00:16:37 You mean you want me to
00:16:39 No, LaTour. I don't want you
00:16:43 But did you not stand in that box
00:16:46 that you'd tell the truth...
00:16:49 the whole truth and
00:16:52 Very well, I put it to you that your
00:16:55 You were trying to cover up
00:17:00 There's another person
00:17:03 who knew what happened.
00:17:06 Mr Keane,
00:17:10 Do you still alledge that
00:17:14 about you leaving the Colonel
00:17:17 - Yes, sir, she did.
00:17:20 Yes, sir and so it was then
00:17:23 You're asking his lordship
00:17:26 that after years of devoted service
00:17:30 that you were in this position?
00:17:31 That Paradine had absolutely
00:17:38 I put it to you, LaTour, that
00:17:42 - Do you persist in it?
00:17:46 What was that
00:17:50 Answer the question.
00:17:53 I stick to what I said.
00:17:57 If you don't mind, I'd like to
00:18:02 In case any small incidents
00:18:06 After the butler took
00:18:09 - where were you?
00:18:12 Did he tell you about
00:18:16 - Yes.
00:18:20 - Maybe so.
00:18:24 - It was.
00:18:28 - then you went upstairs again?
00:18:33 - Why?
00:18:36 Shortly before, the Colonel
00:18:39 for deserting him.
00:18:41 And yet you went upstairs
00:18:45 I was unhappy about being
00:18:49 What's that? Speak up,
00:18:52 I wanted to make it up
00:18:54 Very well. You knocked at the
00:18:58 I knocked on his door.
00:19:01 Very well, you knocked.
00:19:04 - The Colonel told me to go away.
00:19:07 Without even knowing
00:19:11 He asked who it was, I told him,
00:19:17 You're very sharp, LaTour.
00:19:19 Tell me, what tone
00:19:25 When he told you to go,
00:19:27 My lord, when LaTour
00:19:30 his words were "The Colonel told me
00:19:34 Go away, get away from me,
00:19:36 My learned friend can well appreciate
00:19:40 and I'd prefer that he be
00:19:42 It's a point of no importance.
00:19:45 Counsel is right in his contention,
00:19:51 If your lordship pleases, I'll
00:19:55 LaTour, you used to help the
00:19:59 Quite a complicated matter
00:20:02 Didn't everything
00:20:04 Toothbrush, pyjamas,
00:20:07 - Yes, sir.
00:20:10 Not even to check that Leakin
00:20:12 in the right place where the Colonel
00:20:16 I wasn't thinking
00:20:18 Very well, you were wondering
00:20:22 You were very much upset.
00:20:26 Yes, I think so.
00:20:27 You stated that you saw
00:20:30 - Yes, sir, Mrs Paradine.
00:20:33 Going to her bedroom.
00:20:35 Mrs Paradine's room was
00:20:38 - from the Colonel's room, correct?
00:20:40 At the moment
00:20:43 did you know where
00:20:46 No, sir.
00:20:47 She might've come out of her room,
00:20:51 - It's possible.
00:20:53 she couldn't have come from the
00:20:58 or through you.
00:21:00 Is that correct?
00:21:03 Yes, sir.
00:21:04 You saw Mrs Paradine
00:21:07 - What did you do then?
00:21:10 I hung about
00:21:13 - and then...
00:21:15 in hanging about
00:21:18 I didn't have
00:21:20 I just didn't know what to do.
00:21:25 Tell me LaTour...
00:21:28 have you ever seen anyone
00:21:34 No, sir.
00:21:36 Or any animal?
00:21:39 No, sir.
00:21:41 Wasn't there an old dog poisoned
00:21:45 Yes, sir, I beg your pardon.
00:21:48 Yes, so we noticed.
00:21:50 - It was killed by poison, wasn't it?
00:21:54 It was the Colonel's old
00:21:58 So we put him away.
00:21:59 You mean you put him away.
00:22:03 - Yes, sir.
00:22:07 - I don't know, sir.
00:22:10 - Did you keep any of it?
00:22:12 Don't keep saying we.
00:22:15 - You mean you did.
00:22:18 It wasn't a big dose?
00:22:20 No sir, very small.
00:22:23 And it acted very quickly.
00:22:25 Yes it did.
00:22:29 I understand what you
00:22:31 He's accusing me of poisoning my
00:22:34 I must ask the witness
00:22:37 But it's not true, I tell you.
00:22:40 I must again
00:22:42 to just answer the questions.
00:22:45 He is not on trial.
00:22:49 to protest his innocence
00:22:52 with which he has
00:22:54 And I think, Mr Keane, that this is a
00:23:05 We will resume at 5 past 2.
00:23:08 I swear by Almighty God...
00:23:09 that I shall keep this jury...
00:23:11 in a convenient place...
00:23:13 with such accomodation
00:23:16 I will not suffer
00:23:18 neither will I speak to them myself
00:23:22 to ask if they are agreed
00:23:25 without leave of the court.
00:23:37 Tony.
00:23:38 Keane, Keane...
00:23:44 - Tony's torn him to pieces.
00:23:46 But darling, you've got to
00:23:57 - It's gone well for us this morning.
00:24:01 - Surely you must know that.
00:24:04 Good heavens, you're a clever woman.
00:24:07 You have not kept
00:24:10 - What do you mean?
00:24:14 I objected when you wanted to say that
00:24:19 I objected even to that. And now you
00:24:23 No, I will not forgive you
00:24:27 Forgive me?
00:24:33 I've exhausted myself...
00:24:36 destroying everything
00:24:38 I did not ask you to do that.
00:24:40 Forgive me...
00:24:42 you forgive me.
00:24:45 When I was idiot enough to
00:24:50 Did you hear that?
00:24:52 If it's true, how could you deceive
00:24:55 Look...
00:24:57 the case has narrowed itself
00:25:01 Either your husband
00:25:04 or LaTour did it,
00:25:07 As you like. But I will not have
00:25:13 - Are you in love with him?
00:25:16 You're my lawyer
00:25:21 Someone else
00:25:24 very like that to
00:25:25 I should like to know whether you
00:25:28 Yes, of course. I'm planning to cut
00:25:32 I'm going to rely on your evidence
00:25:40 I know I can trust you.
00:25:46 - Yes, you can trust me.
00:25:50 But not at his expense.
00:25:55 And suppose that's
00:25:58 You are not to destroy him.
00:26:00 If you do, I shall hate you as
00:26:06 I must go on the way I've begun.
00:26:09 You can do what you like.
00:26:13 After that I'll put you
00:26:15 Say what you like. My questions
00:26:25 Now, LaTour...
00:26:27 you remember your evidence?
00:26:31 During the quarrel, the Coronel
00:26:35 - Yes, sir.
00:26:37 I didn't know what to think.
00:26:41 Yes, yes, we've heard
00:26:44 - Did you assume you were discharged?
00:26:48 Aren't you aware that Mrs Paradine
00:26:53 Yes, sir.
00:26:54 Well, let me review
00:26:58 suppose you were discharged,
00:27:01 of a woman who allegedly lied
00:27:06 Well, answer me, LaTour.
00:27:08 I felt I wanted to help take care
00:27:12 - There was nowhere else to go, so...
00:27:15 Do I understand, that after
00:27:19 you never again saw
00:27:22 - Yes, sir.
00:27:24 Yes, sir.
00:27:26 - When?
00:27:29 - to clean up the room.
00:27:33 She did.
00:27:35 Whom do you mean by she?
00:27:38 Mrs Paradine.
00:27:43 While you were
00:27:46 did you notice the wine glass?
00:27:48 - Yes, sir.
00:27:51 Just a few drops in the
00:27:53 Oh, there were a few drops left
00:27:56 Yes, sir.
00:27:57 If you were told that Dr Young
00:28:00 after he discovered
00:28:02 and found it to be clean.
00:28:07 Would you still say there were a few
00:28:11 Yes, sir,
00:28:14 When did you wash
00:28:16 I never washed
00:28:18 I never touched it. I left it
00:28:22 You stated that Mrs Paradine
00:28:25 - Yes, sir.
00:28:28 - the glass was not yet washed.
00:28:31 Then it could not have been
00:28:34 Really, all this
00:28:36 Questions must
00:28:39 Yes, I noticed Counsel
00:28:42 rather than ask questions.
00:28:45 knowing how
00:28:53 LaTour, are you aware
00:28:57 - Answer me.
00:29:00 I put it to you that Paradine had a
00:29:05 A reason that had nothing to do with
00:29:10 Was it at Hindley Hall or London that
00:29:13 - to complain of your attentions?
00:29:17 And was she not forced
00:29:19 to beg him to dismiss
00:29:21 I won't stand here and listen
00:29:24 And was that in fact the only
00:29:27 which took place on
00:29:30 No, you can't say that.
00:29:32 The Colonel knew, didn't he? Because
00:29:37 - Answer the question.
00:29:40 Why, because you won't admit
00:29:43 No. She's told you lies
00:29:46 - She told her husband about you?
00:29:55 Then you mean he heard you
00:30:00 - Yes.
00:30:03 I didn't want to tell about it.
00:30:06 I didn't want to hurt
00:30:09 But you've spoken...
00:30:11 you and she.
00:30:12 Both of you.
00:30:14 So I too will speak.
00:30:16 I am finished with the witness.
00:30:19 Tony.
00:30:21 It was she who dragged
00:30:25 I hated every moment with her...
00:30:28 but I couldn't help myself.
00:30:31 This man is a confessed perjuror.
00:30:34 - Mr Keane.
00:30:37 and is now trying to involve
00:30:39 Mr Keane,
00:30:43 you are responsible for such
00:30:48 - I cannot blame the witness.
00:30:51 I submit that his evidence...
00:30:54 be sent to the Director
00:30:55 with a view to the formulation
00:30:58 which he certainly committed.
00:31:00 And whether to such a charge
00:31:03 - one of murder.
00:31:05 you seem anxious to use up
00:31:09 Proceed, Sir Joseph.
00:31:10 LaTour, in testifying as to what
00:31:14 are you implying you had an adulterous
00:31:23 Yes.
00:31:27 You know now what I did.
00:31:29 I can't live with
00:31:32 I'm afraid I must ask you to bear
00:31:36 Did you avoid the truth because of
00:31:40 Yes, I lied.
00:31:42 Because I didn't want the world
00:31:45 She was my Colonel's wife.
00:31:47 And also because
00:31:50 I don't know how to say it.
00:31:53 I tried not to but...
00:31:57 That's all.
00:32:00 My lord that concludes
00:32:41 Members of the jury...
00:32:43 the woman who is before you
00:32:46 Friendless and alone
00:32:50 But a country that has always prided
00:32:55 I had intended to call before you
00:33:01 To speak of her character...
00:33:03 of her self-sacrifice.
00:33:05 A sacrifice made by a beautiful
00:33:11 and still young, in order to bring
00:33:15 into the darkness of
00:33:18 But after hearing the case
00:33:20 we have decided to call
00:33:24 except the prisoner.
00:33:29 He hasn't lost his nerve.
00:33:33 When she's been heard, I'm confident
00:33:38 I'll now ask the prisoner
00:33:42 Absolutely certain
00:33:45 there'll be nothing left of
00:33:50 has so wrecklessly
00:33:52 sought to place
00:33:56 I call the prisoner,
00:34:26 Hold the Testament in your right
00:34:31 I swear by Almighty God, the evidence
00:34:35 the whole truth and
00:34:40 If you wish, you may be seated
00:34:43 No thank you, my lord.
00:34:45 - What is your name?
00:34:48 - The widow of Richard Paradine?
00:34:52 What were your circumstances
00:34:56 I was very poor. My life had been
00:35:01 unattractive.
00:35:03 - Joyful, isn't she?
00:35:07 He's just
00:35:09 Had you no fear at the thought of
00:35:14 - I thought it a splendid opportunity.
00:35:18 Yes, I thought...
00:35:24 Did you find it difficult to care
00:35:28 To take care of him.
00:35:30 - No.
00:35:35 Sometimes.
00:35:38 It was terrible for him being like
00:35:43 On the night of
00:35:47 a quarrel took place
00:35:51 Yes.
00:35:52 Will you tell the jury, please,
00:35:56 I'd spoken to my husband
00:36:00 I asked my husband to find
00:36:03 Why was that?
00:36:07 Answer the question.
00:36:10 I did not wish LaTour
00:36:14 Why didn't you wish LaTour
00:36:17 I preferred
00:36:19 - But why?
00:36:22 What did you dislike?
00:36:26 I thought it sometimes
00:36:29 Could you explain exactly
00:36:32 He took liberties.
00:36:38 Did he try
00:36:43 Please answer.
00:36:44 Did he try
00:36:48 Yes.
00:36:51 And you complained
00:36:54 I did.
00:36:57 Now, Mrs Paradine...
00:36:59 you've heard LaTour's version
00:37:05 What actually did happen
00:37:09 My husband swore at him
00:37:12 - "You have insulted my wife."
00:37:16 He broke down and said...
00:37:18 that if my husband would forgive him
00:37:22 Then LaTour's version
00:37:25 My lord, I object.
00:37:28 - into the mouth of a witness.
00:37:30 The form was objectionable.
00:37:32 I'm anxious not to intervene again.
00:37:36 Your lordship always makes his
00:37:38 Then kindly attend
00:37:40 and do not let me
00:37:43 I'll always note the ruling of a
00:37:46 however much I may
00:37:48 Don't bandy words with me,
00:37:51 Kindly go on with your
00:37:56 Mrs Paradine...
00:37:58 after your husband's death
00:38:02 Was anyone with you when
00:38:05 Dr Young.
00:38:06 Was Dr Young still with you when
00:38:09 Yes.
00:38:11 Have you heard Dr Young's statement
00:38:15 he found the glass
00:38:19 I've heard that, yes.
00:38:20 Is it not true that the only person
00:38:24 - My lord, I...
00:38:27 Could anyone else have
00:38:30 I know what you're trying
00:38:34 You want to make people think...
00:38:36 that Andre LaTour
00:38:39 Silence.
00:38:42 I asked you whether anyone else
00:38:47 Yes.
00:38:49 What do you mean by yes?
00:38:51 I did.
00:38:56 I warn you that you've made
00:38:59 Would you like to make some
00:39:02 My lord, with
00:39:07 would like to request that I be given
00:39:10 This piece of evidence is
00:39:12 Mr Keane, it's getting late and
00:39:16 Would it be convenient to you
00:39:18 I would be greatly obliged
00:39:23 We will adjourn until tomorrow
00:39:31 - Aren't you staying to dinner Judy?
00:39:36 Goodnight, dear.
00:39:39 - Hello Tony.
00:39:44 What the devil are you looking
00:39:46 Nothing.
00:39:48 I was there today.
00:39:51 - Was Gay with you?
00:39:55 - Was that your idea?
00:39:58 I suppose you'll have your usual
00:40:03 - Yes.
00:40:06 Precisely what I need
00:40:09 - Lf she washed the wine glass...
00:40:12 - I hope the jury agrees with you.
00:40:18 If she did wash the glass...
00:40:20 it's because she knew he killed him.
00:40:25 Tony, you won't get angry if I ask
00:40:31 Will it make any difference
00:40:34 Why do you keep on
00:40:36 That's what made her say
00:40:39 If you really want to know,
00:40:43 it's because I want to get
00:40:45 LaTour's motive.
00:40:48 He wanted to get rid
00:40:53 What about your motive?
00:40:58 What do you mean?
00:41:00 I know, and you know
00:41:05 why you think
00:41:08 You wouldn't have handled it
00:41:11 You treated her as if you were
00:41:13 Tony it's true.
00:41:18 You've got to save this woman
00:41:22 If you'll leave me alone,
00:41:26 If you're left to your own devices,
00:41:28 Mrs Paradine and your career will be
00:41:33 I wouldn't be sure that'd be
00:41:36 Goodnight.
00:41:55 My lord I've finished
00:42:03 - That's funny.
00:42:06 I'll tell you later.
00:42:10 Mrs Paradine, did you think
00:42:14 Of course not. He is a servant. How
00:42:19 These attentions from LaTour
00:42:23 Yes.
00:42:24 Why did you wait until that night
00:42:30 - I was ashamed.
00:42:33 - It wasn't your fault.
00:42:35 Then why be ashamed?
00:42:37 Was it your modesty that held you
00:42:41 I protest at the insinuation.
00:42:43 There's been no evidence
00:42:46 My lord, there was
00:42:48 I merely tried to convey
00:42:52 to use her own words,
00:42:55 to avoid appealing to her husband
00:42:58 I must ask you, Mr Keane,
00:43:01 I will intervene if I see reason.
00:43:03 Proceed.
00:43:06 I ask you on your oath,
00:43:08 did you not complain about LaTour
00:43:12 In love with him?
00:43:14 Yet I asked my husband
00:43:18 - Is that what you think?
00:43:21 in inducing this man,
00:43:23 to betray him?
00:43:25 I deny that.
00:43:29 Now, Mrs Paradine
00:43:32 that when you realised
00:43:34 you resolved to overcome
00:43:36 No.
00:43:37 Weren't you in love with LaTour all
00:43:40 No.
00:43:41 Weren't you madly in love with him
00:43:45 What you say is not true.
00:43:50 Is anything wrong,
00:43:53 I'd like an opportunity to consider
00:43:59 I've been informed that the witness
00:44:03 Andre.
00:44:09 - That does it.
00:44:11 My lord,
00:44:15 has great bearing on the case. It's
00:44:19 - It bears out my...
00:44:21 The witness said he couldn't live,
00:44:27 I suggest both counsel
00:44:30 and remember where they are.
00:44:32 all they've just heard.
00:44:37 Mr Keane, do you want an adjournment
00:44:42 No, my lord...
00:44:43 on further consideration...
00:44:46 I've no application.
00:44:50 have my observations
00:44:53 Yes, yes. Sir Joseph,
00:44:55 want an adjournment?
00:44:58 No, my lord.
00:44:59 I regret the court has been subjected
00:45:04 Then proceed, Sir Joseph.
00:45:09 Mrs Paradine...
00:45:10 you admitted yesterday that you...
00:45:13 deliberately washed the glass that
00:45:17 Why did you wash that glass?
00:45:21 Answer my question.
00:45:27 You must answer the question.
00:45:30 I'm sorry, I didn't hear.
00:45:32 Counsel has repeated
00:45:35 What does it matter now?
00:45:39 Andre's dead.
00:45:42 The man I love is dead.
00:45:46 I thought about it day and night.
00:45:49 But I didn't know how.
00:45:53 I wanted to do it so
00:45:56 So Andre and I could go away...
00:45:58 and live together as we should.
00:46:02 But Andre wouldn't help me.
00:46:05 He and his honour.
00:46:08 I must warn you of the gravity
00:46:12 Andre knew
00:46:14 Andre knew it.
00:46:16 I didn't tell him,
00:46:24 I think it quite unnecessary to ask
00:46:28 Is there anything else you wish
00:46:36 - Mrs Paradine...
00:46:41 I loved Andre LaTour...
00:46:43 and you murdered him.
00:46:46 My life is finished.
00:46:48 It is you who has finished it.
00:46:51 My only comfort is the hatred
00:47:09 My lord...
00:47:12 members of the jury...
00:47:18 I've done my best.
00:47:25 This case...
00:47:28 has already...
00:47:30 taken a heavy toll...
00:47:34 in the life of LaTour...
00:47:37 in it's burden on you...
00:47:41 and indeed on me.
00:47:45 I am, more than ever,
00:47:51 Everything I've done...
00:47:53 seems to have gone
00:47:58 But, members of the jury...
00:48:01 you must not confuse my...
00:48:05 incompetence...
00:48:08 with any of the issues
00:48:13 Those are two questions apart.
00:48:18 Two questions...
00:48:20 quite apart.
00:48:27 Many things have become
00:48:33 Many things...
00:48:36 have become obscured.
00:48:46 My lord, I can go on no longer.
00:48:50 I request your indulgence...
00:48:53 to let my friend...
00:48:54 Mr Cullens,
00:49:23 It's surprising how closely
00:49:26 resembles the human brain.
00:49:29 I wish you hadn't refused...
00:49:33 to go to the trial today.
00:49:36 Your coughing, might've distracted
00:49:40 concentrate on Mr Keane's
00:49:43 Of course.
00:49:44 How I shall pray the verdict'll
00:49:47 Must I listen to more
00:49:51 for every scoundrel,
00:49:53 I do pity her.
00:49:54 Who needs pity more than
00:49:57 You always forget that punishment
00:50:00 - A necessary part of it.
00:50:05 Doesn't it? Why should we
00:50:08 We've no right to be cruel. If I'm
00:50:13 You've knocked over a glass.
00:50:15 Oh, so I have.
00:50:20 Give it to me.
00:50:23 You've been talking more
00:50:27 I'm afraid this trial
00:50:30 - I suggest you go to bed.
00:50:34 I'm sorry.
00:50:38 Couldn't you do something
00:50:40 How dare you speak to one of
00:50:45 The jury decides questions
00:50:47 I may be silly, Tommy, but
00:50:52 And you must have known how
00:50:56 Tommy, when you were young
00:50:59 - You can't sit on that bench...
00:51:04 I'll continue to do my duty.
00:51:07 And I performed a duty today.
00:51:10 The Paradine woman will be hanged
00:51:40 Next time, you'll place your
00:51:46 I suppose I ought to get out of here.
00:51:48 You're more than welcome.
00:51:50 But I wish you'd telephone Gay.
00:51:54 - Worried to death.
00:52:00 The least I can do is spare Gay
00:52:05 Listen to me. You're not as wise
00:52:10 You mustn't despair. If there's one
00:52:14 What would you have me do?
00:52:18 Well, not for a while.
00:52:20 But all this talk of giving up
00:52:24 If I know anything about Gay,
00:52:28 Father.
00:52:37 Where is she?
00:52:52 Hello, Tony.
00:52:56 Hello.
00:52:57 What about some breakfast?
00:52:59 Do you mind? Thanks...
00:53:02 but as a matter of fact
00:53:04 Tony, you really shouldn't have
00:53:09 I waited up till all hours.
00:53:13 I should've known
00:53:17 I was proud of you today.
00:53:23 Yes, I was.
00:53:26 Darling, it won't be easy.
00:53:29 There'll be those
00:53:34 And I don't think the newspapers
00:53:39 The worst thing of all
00:53:41 Tony, the most important
00:53:45 wasn't when you discovered
00:53:48 And it wasn't when you'd the courage
00:53:53 and confess your own mistakes.
00:53:56 The most important moment...
00:53:59 Look at me Tony.
00:54:02 The most important moment
00:54:06 My husband is the most brilliant
00:54:11 You can throw away your career and
00:54:15 Maybe that's not
00:54:19 Darling...
00:54:21 don't you understand? I want you
00:54:27 And I hope you've a tough case.
00:54:31 Very tough.
00:54:33 So that... it will take
00:54:37 Winning every verdict
00:54:40 There you go again darling...
00:54:43 with all your fancy ideas
00:54:46 Incidentally darling,
