00:01:40 Was that in 1913 or 17?
00:01:46 I'm beginning to forget
00:01:56 Do I remember Louise Bryant?
00:02:00 Why, of course.
00:02:09 I can't...
00:02:10 I might sort of scratch my memory,
00:02:14 but not at the moment.
00:02:17 You know, things go
00:02:21 It was Christopher Street,
00:02:24 and I was thinking about
00:02:27 another street down there instead,
00:02:30 until it came back
00:02:34 Sometimes I have lapses like that.
00:02:39 I'd forgotten all about them.
00:02:41 Were they socialists?
00:02:44 I guess they must've been,
00:02:46 but I don't think they were
00:02:49 I don't remember them at all.
00:02:51 I know that Jack went around
00:02:54 and then he went around
00:02:57 and then he went around
00:03:01 I know there were shifts back and forth,
00:03:04 but it never occurred to me...
00:03:06 It never impinged on
00:03:10 I like baseball.
00:03:11 I don't know what
00:03:14 But they were a couple.
00:03:17 I mean, you always spoke of
00:03:20 I recall his telling me
00:03:25 when he came to college.
00:03:26 One was to be elected
00:03:29 He didn't know anyone in the class.
00:03:32 The other was to make a million dollars
00:03:36 by the time he was 25.
00:03:38 Now, my idea about Jack Reed
00:03:43 But I knew him well.
00:03:47 I knew he was independent.
00:03:49 And I have an idea,
00:03:53 that his wife was a Communist
00:03:55 and that his wife had influenced him,
00:03:59 as you know and I know.
00:04:04 Louise Bryant?
00:04:05 Well, I thought she was something
00:04:09 No, I'm not gonna talk about people.
00:04:13 No, sir. I'm not... I'm not
00:04:17 a purveyor of neighborhood gossip,
00:04:20 That's not my job.
00:04:21 He was quiet.
00:04:24 He was a nice fellow.
00:04:27 I would say, if I met him,
00:04:32 He was, however, a fighting fellow
00:04:36 in regards to principles.
00:04:38 I said, I think,
00:04:42 in the condition of the world
00:04:45 either has no problems of his own
00:04:47 or refuses to face them.
00:04:50 Jack...
00:04:53 but some people did.
00:04:54 Jack Reed's life, short as it was,
00:04:59 happened at a time,
00:05:01 and all of us, after all,
00:05:05 when he had the opportunity,
00:05:09 to be in some very exciting
00:05:12 It isn't everybody can
00:05:16 and he's the only American.
00:05:19 Born in Portland, Oregon.
00:05:23 Now, isn't that something?
00:05:25 - What's he hugging?
00:05:27 Well, I can see that.
00:05:30 It's just a statue, Mr. Woodward.
00:05:32 - How much is it?
00:05:34 - For a photograph?
00:05:36 This is interesting, Mrs. Trullinger.
00:05:38 Not that it isn't very nice,
00:05:41 Mr. Woodward,
00:05:43 - I think I see the intention here.
00:05:45 Eve dominates, you see?
00:05:47 The dream dominates the dreamer.
00:05:49 It's...
00:05:53 It looks blurry to me.
00:05:55 The other one looked blurry, too.
00:05:58 I think that's the intention
00:06:01 What? To be blurry?
00:06:03 But perhaps if you looked at it
00:06:05 Louise!
00:06:07 This is you?
00:06:15 Lovely figure.
00:06:26 Louise, have you taken
00:06:27 Don't be a fool, Paul.
00:06:29 You think I'm a fool
00:06:31 being displayed naked in front
00:06:33 Yes. My God,
00:06:35 What's the matter with you?
00:06:36 You used to call Portland
00:06:39 It may be stuffy and provincial,
00:06:40 but it also happens
00:06:42 You can take your living
00:06:44 because I can earn my own living.
00:06:45 I have my work.
00:06:46 You consider a few articles in
00:06:50 No, I'll tell you
00:06:51 It's making yourself
00:06:54 It's shocking Louise Trullinger,
00:06:57 Now, we're gonna say good night
00:06:59 - I'm going to the Liberal Club.
00:07:02 - I'm going to the Liberal Club, Paul.
00:07:05 It's very nice, Mrs. Trullinger. All of it.
00:07:08 It's very gratifying to hear,
00:07:11 Isn't it, Louise?
00:07:16 Of course, you know
00:07:19 Patriotic Americans believe in freedom.
00:07:22 And unless we are willing to take arms
00:07:26 we cannot call ourselves
00:07:31 I'm proud to be free.
00:07:33 I'm proud to be an American.
00:07:35 And if the man
00:07:38 that our freedoms are being threatened
00:07:39 and that the world must
00:07:43 then I know I won't be alone
00:07:47 What is this war about?
00:07:50 Each man will have his own answer.
00:07:52 I have mine. I'm ready to be called!
00:08:04 Now, tonight we have with us
00:08:06 the son of Margaret
00:08:11 who has witnessed this war first-hand.
00:08:13 And I, for one, see no reason
00:08:17 shouldn't listen to what
00:08:25 What would you say
00:08:39 Profits.
00:08:42 What did he say?
00:08:49 Excuse me, Mr. Reed.
00:08:51 and I am a journalist.
00:08:52 And I was wondering if you might
00:08:55 I'm sorry, I don't. I don't do interviews.
00:08:56 I had a piece in the Blast not long ago.
00:08:59 - Berkman's Blast? Really?
00:09:06 Well, when did you want
00:09:07 Now.
00:09:09 I don't live here.
00:09:10 - I live in a house by the river.
00:09:12 My, my, my. Two places.
00:09:16 Yeah, I use this place as a studio.
00:09:20 Do you like white lilies?
00:09:22 They're my favorite flowers.
00:09:25 - You're not married, are you?
00:09:29 - Are you married?
00:09:30 How could anyone believe in marriage?
00:09:32 I bet your mother's glad
00:09:35 Just glad when I'm not in jail.
00:09:38 Yes. Do you like it?
00:09:41 Yeah. I think they're...
00:09:44 - A little blurry, but this one's very nice.
00:09:48 It is. Now...
00:09:51 Granted, the profit motive
00:09:53 is a basic root cause for the war.
00:09:55 Do you feel that those
00:09:58 and who ascribe their motives
00:10:01 And, if they're cynical,
00:10:04 who feel that without a profit motive,
00:10:06 the power structure elite of this country
00:10:08 even though they feel
00:10:10 of German militarism
00:10:12 All right, Miss Bryant, do you want
00:10:15 Are you naive enough to think
00:10:16 containing German militarism
00:10:18 Don't you understand that England
00:10:21 and Germany just wants a piece of it?
00:10:22 Keep writing, Miss Bryant.
00:10:23 Miss Bryant, can't you grasp
00:10:26 has loaned England and France
00:10:28 And if Germany wins,
00:10:30 More coffee?
00:10:32 to protect J.P. Morgan's money.
00:10:33 If he loses it, we'll have a depression.
00:10:34 So, the real question is,
00:10:35 why do we have an economy
00:10:38 so the rich won't lose money?
00:10:39 All right, now, what haven't we covered?
00:10:41 Economic freedom for women
00:10:43 and sexual freedom
00:10:45 Dissent! The Masses stands for dissent.
00:10:47 ...we have a predominantly
00:10:48 upper-middle class readership.
00:10:50 So, we have to run around the country
00:10:52 any way we...
00:10:58 What?
00:11:00 Well, I'm thinking that I guess I...
00:11:03 That I ought to offer you more coffee.
00:11:05 I hadn't realized the hour, but
00:11:08 I seem to have taken up
00:11:11 Well, that's okay by me.
00:11:15 Does this happen to you often?
00:11:18 Not often enough.
00:11:21 Well?
00:11:24 We certainly have come a long way fast.
00:11:26 Yeah.
00:11:28 Do you want to take it a step further?
00:11:31 Yeah.
00:11:35 What would you think if I asked you
00:11:36 that might seem a little selfish?
00:11:39 Well, I... I think you should.
00:11:41 Good. Good, because I'd like you
00:11:44 and tell me what you think.
00:11:45 You see, I really respect
00:11:48 Well, it's odd,
00:11:50 if you had anything
00:11:51 I know it's an imposition
00:11:54 I've read everything
00:11:56 Well, I'd be happy to do it. So, that's...
00:11:58 Well, thank you.
00:12:00 Well, then I... I'll get your coat.
00:12:04 Oh, and I hope you won't
00:12:06 - Gentle?
00:12:07 You can really be tough.
00:12:08 No, I will be. No, I will be.
00:12:10 - Thank you.
00:12:12 - Do you want me to leave?
00:12:15 - Late at 6:00 in the morning?
00:12:18 Well, could I see you tomorrow night?
00:12:20 I'm busy tomorrow night.
00:12:21 - Because I'm leaving town the next day.
00:12:24 So, if you have time,
00:12:26 and I'll send you a copy of the interview.
00:12:28 Some interview, huh?
00:12:31 Take a look sometime.
00:12:34 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I understand.
00:12:37 - Bye.
00:12:48 Jack, dear,
00:12:51 Used to be at the First Presbyterian
00:12:54 He's in Seattle now
00:13:01 What brings you out here, Jack?
00:13:04 Just come out to see your mother?
00:13:08 Mr. Partlow, I just... I'm raising money
00:13:13 - What?
00:13:15 for this magazine that I write for!
00:13:17 - Magazine? What magazine?
00:13:19 Well, it's called The Masses.
00:13:20 - The what?
00:13:22 - The Masses.
00:13:24 Jack, do you remember
00:13:27 The one with the bad arm?
00:13:28 - Is that religious?
00:13:31 Oh, you remember her, Jack.
00:13:33 She didn't eat meat.
00:13:34 Sounds religious.
00:13:36 You remember the fellow
00:13:38 Sold spool thread.
00:13:41 - Not religious, huh?
00:13:44 - What was his name, Jack?
00:13:47 Well, I don't know about you people,
00:13:50 I don't know, Mrs. Partlow. I...
00:13:52 Jack, I heard you made a few people
00:13:54 down at the Liberal Club last night.
00:13:56 Oh, Carl,
00:13:58 let's not go into that.
00:14:00 What was his name, Jack?
00:14:01 - Here you are!
00:14:04 Welcome. So happy...
00:14:05 - Hello, Jack.
00:14:07 Oh, you look wonderful.
00:14:14 Alma, this is Louise Trullinger.
00:14:16 Alma Boyle.
00:14:20 Jack, Louise is quite a progressive
00:14:22 Mr. Partlow.
00:14:24 - How do you do, Mr. Reed?
00:14:27 Oh, Mr. Partlow, Mrs. Partlow,
00:14:30 - Pleased to meet you.
00:14:32 Are you Paul Trullinger's wife?
00:14:35 Yes. Yes, I am.
00:14:37 Well, isn't that something?
00:14:39 He did Frank Rhodes' bridge.
00:14:41 Oh, Mrs. Trullinger, your husband's
00:14:45 - Thank you very much.
00:14:47 And I think he did a plate
00:14:49 Oh, we won't wait for Harry and Martha.
00:14:52 All right, let's go in.
00:14:53 What a shame Paul
00:14:55 - An emergency?
00:14:56 Not Uncle Grover's plate, I hope.
00:14:57 - No. Uncle Grover's plate's like new.
00:15:01 Did free love start
00:15:04 Very good wine, Carl.
00:15:06 - More, Jack?
00:15:11 It's just delicious, really.
00:15:13 Don't you think so, Mrs. Trullinger?
00:15:15 Yes, it's just delicious.
00:15:17 Thank you, Louise.
00:15:18 - Dupont, I think.
00:15:22 It is Dupont, isn't it, Harry?
00:15:23 Mother doesn't want you to get Jack
00:15:27 You got any children, Mrs. Trullinger?
00:15:29 Not yet, Mr. Reed.
00:15:31 - Call me Jack.
00:15:33 Don't get me in any arguments
00:15:35 It's getting cold outside.
00:15:37 I'll just call you Louise.
00:15:38 George Waldorf.
00:15:41 Used to sell spool thread.
00:15:43 - What about George Waldorf?
00:15:47 I couldn't think of letting
00:15:49 Tell me something.
00:15:51 Does Dr. Trullinger mind your
00:15:54 People have to give each other
00:15:57 Freedom, Mrs. Trullinger?
00:16:00 I'd like to know
00:16:02 Having your own studio? Walk...
00:16:11 I'd like to see you
00:16:39 Marching and shuffling along
00:16:57 I didn't realize the time.
00:16:58 So, if you like, there's some
00:17:01 And you can make toast out of that,
00:17:04 So, bye.
00:17:06 Where you going?
00:17:07 Where you going?
00:17:09 If you're catching the 2:45, I mean,
00:17:12 - I'm sure you're gonna want to pack...
00:17:14 It's 8:45.
00:17:15 Listen, I realize
00:17:17 but I'd be grateful
00:17:19 to write a few words to me
00:17:20 Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
00:17:22 If you'll just send my portfolio back.
00:17:24 Louise, wait a minute. What are you
00:17:27 Will you come upstairs, please,
00:17:32 Thank you.
00:17:34 - Listen...
00:17:39 Why don't you come?
00:17:40 - What?
00:17:41 You wanna write?
00:17:43 If you wanna have freedom you gotta go
00:17:46 You're gonna go to waste in Portland.
00:17:48 - You ought to be in New York.
00:17:50 I'll remember that.
00:17:51 - What?
00:17:54 Please come with me.
00:17:56 All right, wait a minute.
00:17:58 You want me
00:18:00 Yeah.
00:18:02 What as? What as?
00:18:04 - What do you mean, what...
00:18:05 - Your girlfriend?
00:18:08 What as? Your girlfriend,
00:18:09 your mistress, your paramour,
00:18:13 Why does it have to be as anything?
00:18:14 Because I don't wanna
00:18:16 of emotional possessive involvement
00:18:21 I want to know what as.
00:18:23 Well, it's nearly Thanksgiving.
00:18:28 I always thought she was
00:18:32 Probably the dentist knew nothing
00:18:37 and was mainly interested...
00:18:40 And then she had
00:18:43 who could talk about all sorts of things.
00:18:46 I had a coat I brought from Germany.
00:18:49 And she wanted that coat
00:18:51 and made me all kinds of propositions.
00:18:56 But I wanted it, too.
00:18:59 But finally I gave in and gave it to her.
00:19:02 I had other coats.
00:19:05 So that's how she operated.
00:19:13 She went after him.
00:19:16 So she wasn't any dummy.
00:19:20 But it was something to happen
00:19:24 You didn't hear the word "sex."
00:19:26 You didn't hear the word "lesbian."
00:19:28 You didn't hear the word "homosexual."
00:19:31 You didn't hear the word "abortion."
00:19:34 You didn't hear those things.
00:19:35 Men respected women.
00:19:37 They helped them on with their coats,
00:19:40 And the man and woman
00:19:43 they married each other.
00:19:44 You know something that I think,
00:19:47 that there was just as much
00:19:52 Only now,
00:19:56 Now there's no love whatever included.
00:20:00 Then, there was your heart,
00:20:02 Greenwich Village was there,
00:20:05 and New York was around it.
00:20:07 And the rest of New York did not act
00:20:11 It was sort of a center of dissent
00:20:13 and had been for a long time
00:20:18 People from all over
00:20:21 They were regarded as bohemian.
00:20:25 The way they dressed
00:20:27 and certainly the way they thought
00:20:29 was outside the mainstream
00:20:32 And as I recollect it,
00:20:33 marriage was not important
00:20:36 I remember hearing a line
00:20:40 he was trying to lure into bed.
00:20:42 She was being very coy, and he said,
00:20:47 Hello?
00:20:58 Hello, Jack?
00:21:43 If it's illegal to hand out pamphlets
00:21:45 I'm proud to be a criminal.
00:21:46 No one is arguing with your
00:21:50 All I'm saying
00:21:52 to go to jail for birth control.
00:21:53 Oh, there's a right time
00:21:55 The Masses is governing
00:21:58 Soon you'll be indistinguishable
00:22:00 Emma, all I'm saying
00:22:03 - to the anti-war movement.
00:22:04 - No, he's right. If we get into this war...
00:22:08 - Will you let me finish my sentence?
00:22:11 Thousands of American women,
00:22:14 are dying, giving birth to anemic
00:22:18 Are their lives any less valuable
00:22:21 - I want those back Tuesday.
00:22:24 - Oh, shit.
00:22:26 Good night.
00:22:27 - You want some coffee?
00:22:30 - I'm out of coffee.
00:22:34 No, the conversation is over.
00:22:37 When you're a revolutionary,
00:22:39 Hopefully over coffee.
00:22:40 - It's late, I'll walk you home.
00:22:51 Well...
00:22:54 Yeah.
00:22:56 It's Friday night.
00:22:58 I'm so glad to see you.
00:22:59 Really, I'm so glad to see you.
00:23:04 I finished your articles.
00:23:07 The railroad piece, I think, is...
00:23:10 - It's repetitious, but...
00:23:13 I'm using repetition to make a point.
00:23:14 I don't want it to seem too polished.
00:23:16 Oh.
00:23:19 Well, I think
00:23:21 Emma, Emma, Emma.
00:23:23 I think it was Emma Goldberg.
00:23:25 I think so.
00:23:26 I never forgot Emma Goldman.
00:23:28 She inspired me to the very depths.
00:23:31 And Max Eastman was a beloved man.
00:23:34 The real radical, a free spirit.
00:23:37 He was in that same group
00:23:41 That was her name.
00:23:44 Floyd Dell was one of them.
00:23:46 He wrote novels, beautiful novels.
00:23:48 The radicals included people
00:23:52 and Bill Haywood.
00:23:54 And there were Walter Lippmann,
00:23:56 and Lincoln Steffens
00:23:59 and Edna St. Vincent Millay.
00:24:01 Alfred Stieglitz...
00:24:03 Oh, and Margaret Sanger.
00:24:04 My Lord, I picketed for her.
00:24:07 And, of course,
00:24:09 came from down there.
00:24:11 I don't think there's anybody
00:24:15 You have to be a bit of a rebel
00:24:19 And everybody in Greenwich Village
00:24:31 - What do you do, Louise?
00:24:33 Good for you.
00:24:35 - Thanks.
00:24:37 everyone on the left is the same.
00:24:47 Would you pass the bread, please?
00:24:50 - What do you do, Louise?
00:24:52 Good. Madame Schumann-Heink...
00:24:54 Jack tells me you write, Miss Bryant.
00:24:58 Everything.
00:25:01 You write about everything?
00:25:03 Everything. Yes. Everything, nothing...
00:25:07 Just...
00:25:10 I see.
00:25:14 Now, about Davis and Sloan,
00:25:17 Not yet, but they...
00:25:25 I don't think they should sit here
00:25:29 - It's just...
00:25:31 Look, what does a capitalist do?
00:25:33 Let me ask you that, Mike.
00:25:35 I mean, what does he make,
00:25:37 I don't know what he makes.
00:25:39 Well, what if they got organized?
00:25:41 I mean, all the workers.
00:25:43 and the carpenters
00:25:45 But all of them, all over the world?
00:25:46 Not in just one country.
00:25:49 What if they all got organized?
00:25:51 Don't you think they could...
00:25:53 They can make it into
00:25:54 Jack, can I tap you for $5? I'm flat.
00:25:57 Well, don't ask this pretentious
00:26:00 If you need $5, I'll give it to you.
00:26:06 Let me have $4.50, will you?
00:26:07 - What isn't fair?
00:26:09 If all the workers in the world
00:26:12 - there wouldn't be a war, would there?
00:26:14 Miss Bryant.
00:26:16 You've been nursing
00:26:18 Can I get you a glass of wine
00:26:20 No, thank you. I'm fine.
00:26:22 - Beer's fine.
00:26:25 And a very good painter, I hear.
00:26:28 I write.
00:26:39 Read Jung!
00:26:41 "Read Freud, read Jung."
00:26:44 My God, you can't interpret Freud
00:26:47 You know you got a taxi waiting?
00:26:49 Zosima represents
00:26:51 I tell you you're wrong.
00:26:52 - And Jung is a mystic...
00:26:57 - How long are they going to stay?
00:27:01 - I'll only be gone for a day.
00:27:04 Hey, why don't you come
00:27:06 Really? What am I supposed
00:27:08 What as?
00:27:09 Jack, you know, you got a taxi waiting.
00:27:13 Taxi's waiting, Jack.
00:27:15 See you tomorrow.
00:27:24 We've been trying for two years.
00:27:27 Capitalists can take this country into
00:27:30 The only impact you can make
00:27:33 Of course, but...
00:27:34 But don't you think, Emma,
00:27:37 that if Debs gets a lot of votes,
00:27:40 No, I don't. I think voting is the opium
00:27:43 Every four years, you deaden the pain.
00:27:44 Yeah, but...
00:27:48 Don't you think...
00:27:49 I just made it very clear
00:27:52 Come on, E.G.
00:27:54 - Louise has a point. She says...
00:27:57 Why does my status change
00:28:00 Bernie, could I have the red wine?
00:28:03 She's just... She's upset with me.
00:28:06 It's got nothing to do with you.
00:28:08 Thank you. It's a great comfort.
00:28:12 The house is completely filled
00:28:14 They use it as if it was
00:28:16 - I can't get any work done.
00:28:18 - How am I supposed to throw them out?
00:28:20 Tell them to leave.
00:28:21 I'm not going to
00:28:23 - Just throw them out.
00:28:24 Jack, is that you?
00:28:27 - Hello, Horace. How are you?
00:28:31 - You know Louise Bryant?
00:28:34 - Very nice to see you.
00:28:36 Great pleasure.
00:28:37 - Hi, Max. How are you?
00:28:39 - And Floyd, good to see you.
00:28:41 Still getting arrested, Jack?
00:28:43 I try.
00:28:47 How about you, Miss Bryant?
00:28:48 Are you trying to get arrested, too?
00:28:50 No, not really.
00:28:53 - What do you do, Miss Bryant?
00:28:57 You write? Now, may I ask,
00:29:03 It's impossible to describe.
00:29:05 It's impossible to describe?
00:29:07 She just did a hell of a piece
00:29:08 on the influence of the Armory Show
00:29:10 Well, you know,
00:29:13 Why don't you give me a call
00:29:16 In fact, even better,
00:29:19 - Fine.
00:29:21 - It's a date, then.
00:29:23 That's wonderful. Fine.
00:29:24 Jack!
00:29:28 Now, you stay out
00:29:33 Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
00:29:38 - Jack, please don't do that.
00:29:40 He's the editor of Metropolitan.
00:29:42 - Jack, I can speak for myself.
00:29:45 - I don't want you to do that...
00:29:47 Oh. Taxi's waiting, Jack.
00:29:53 Jack...
00:29:56 I'll see you at the end
00:30:00 - Okay?
00:30:01 Maybe I will call him about Thursday.
00:30:03 Yeah, call him about Thursday.
00:30:06 - See you, boys.
00:30:08 - Bye-bye, Jack.
00:30:11 See you, Jack.
00:30:18 "The railroad's opening new frontiers,
00:30:21 "and crisscrossing it all
00:30:24 "The railroad's opening new frontiers,
00:30:26 "and in turn, these frontiers...
00:30:29 "And in turn, these frontiers..."
00:30:31 Oh, God.
00:30:35 It is repetitious.
00:30:41 We're not human beings,
00:30:43 - And how many days a week?
00:30:44 - Every day?
00:30:46 "If you don't come to work on Sunday,
00:30:49 - What do you make an hour?
00:30:51 How many times have they
00:30:54 because the labor you do
00:30:56 That's right, Bill.
00:30:58 Well, the IWW's not gonna
00:31:00 - because you're unskilled.
00:31:02 Or skilled. Or black or white or yellow.
00:31:06 Seven days a week.
00:31:07 - What do you make an hour?
00:31:09 One big union.
00:31:11 - All workers belong...
00:31:15 I'm looking for a lathe worker
00:31:18 He had an industrial accident. He got
00:31:21 Yeah, sure, Harvard.
00:31:23 Is that what they wanna read about
00:31:25 industrial accidents?
00:31:29 And for that, we need power.
00:31:32 And there's only one way to get power.
00:31:34 Organize!
00:31:36 All the workers together!
00:31:38 One big union!
00:31:40 And the war the IWW
00:31:45 Not a war in Europe!
00:31:47 War against the capitalists!
00:31:49 You'll never get anything or anywhere,
00:31:51 until the whole working class
00:31:56 All right, gentlemen,
00:31:58 you've got 20 seconds
00:32:08 May I ask on what authority?
00:32:10 On my authority.
00:32:12 This is an illegal assembly.
00:32:14 Excuse me, Officer. These men
00:32:16 That's all they're doing.
00:32:18 We know what the hell they doing.
00:32:19 - What the hell you doing?
00:32:21 You.
00:32:23 - I write.
00:32:25 You wrong.
00:32:30 Get him out of here!
00:32:37 Here they are.
00:32:38 The folio. The oeuvre.
00:32:43 Well...
00:32:45 How is Jack?
00:32:46 I do hope he's being more careful
00:32:50 I'd hate to see him not able
00:32:52 Oh, I'm sure he'll do fine.
00:32:55 Did you tell him
00:32:59 No, I will. He's out of town.
00:33:01 Mr. Whigham, excuse me, but
00:33:04 Oh, this is the Armory...
00:33:06 - Yes.
00:33:16 Well...
00:33:18 I really ought to spend
00:33:21 Oh, yes, of course.
00:33:22 What about dinner?
00:33:25 - Dinner?
00:33:28 - Why would he mind?
00:33:31 but Jack's rather...
00:33:34 He's rather an odd duck, isn't he?
00:33:36 And I've never really known how...
00:33:37 Mr. Whigham, are you saying you need
00:33:38 Jack's permission
00:33:44 Don't get so upset about it.
00:33:45 For Christ's sake,
00:33:47 Don't rewrite what I write, Pete.
00:33:48 What the hell's the matter
00:33:50 The IWW's a bunch of Reds.
00:33:53 Come on.
00:33:54 We got Reds in the IWW,
00:33:56 We've got nothing
00:33:58 For Christ's sake,
00:34:01 Now, what the hell
00:34:03 with a lot of Red propaganda
00:34:05 It's the truth.
00:34:07 Well, who the hell's to say
00:34:09 A bunch of goddamn Reds in the IWW?
00:34:11 You're not being fair to the AF of L.
00:34:13 - Now, give me the goddamn article...
00:34:16 I'm just gonna take it
00:34:18 Well, fine. Take it to The Masses.
00:34:20 - They're a bunch of Reds.
00:34:21 - Who's gonna pay your rent?
00:34:23 You just don't rewrite what I write.
00:34:26 You stubborn son of a bitch.
00:34:46 Louise?
00:35:05 I got every one in the shop.
00:35:07 We're broke, but we've got them all.
00:35:13 Thanks.
00:35:19 - What's the matter?
00:35:21 - What is it?
00:35:24 A lot better than we thought it would.
00:35:25 - You see Whigham?
00:35:28 - How was that?
00:35:31 Did he offer you work?
00:35:33 No, but he made a big point
00:35:35 what wonderful friends
00:35:37 It was a fascinating meeting.
00:35:41 Are you angry at Whigham or me?
00:35:45 What is it?
00:35:47 It's nothing.
00:35:49 and it's Saturday.
00:35:50 Didn't I say I'd back
00:35:52 - The end of the week is Friday.
00:35:54 Saturday's not the
00:35:56 Jack, you said you'd be back Tuesday!
00:35:58 What difference does it make?
00:35:59 What do you think I've been doing?
00:36:00 Running around listening
00:36:02 How do I know whose voice
00:36:04 Obviously you like it
00:36:17 Look at me. Oh, God!
00:36:20 I'm like a wife.
00:36:23 I'm like a boring, clinging,
00:36:29 - Who'd wanna come home to me?
00:36:32 Well, I can't do this!
00:36:34 You can't do what?
00:36:37 I'm just living in your margins.
00:36:39 I don't know what I'm doing here.
00:36:41 - Well, tell me what you want.
00:36:45 I want you to know something.
00:36:46 I asked Whigham
00:36:51 - Is that what you want?
00:36:58 - What are you doing, Louise?
00:37:00 Will you tell me why you're doing this?
00:37:01 I'm not taken seriously
00:37:03 When I'm around
00:37:04 Oh, God, this is not good.
00:37:05 You mean
00:37:07 Is that what you're talking about?
00:37:08 Do you mean you're not?
00:37:10 You know what I'm saying.
00:37:12 I don't know what you're saying.
00:37:13 You're not being honest with me.
00:37:16 I am so being honest with you.
00:37:17 Maybe if you took yourself a little more
00:37:20 I told you what I thought
00:37:21 I was honest about that.
00:37:22 I think it's very nice,
00:37:25 - Thank you.
00:37:26 to be taken seriously if you're
00:37:29 I don't understand that.
00:37:31 I found myself an apartment.
00:37:33 I'm not even sure I know
00:37:35 One day you're writing
00:37:37 and you don't even finish the piece.
00:37:38 The next day you're doing a piece
00:37:40 that happened three years ago.
00:37:41 Look, why do you give me
00:37:43 If I criticize it at all,
00:37:46 And when we're out with other people,
00:37:47 if somebody doesn't ask you
00:37:49 you tell me you feel ignored.
00:37:51 But with everything
00:37:53 you decide to sit down and write a piece
00:37:55 on the influence of the goddamned
00:37:58 Are people supposed
00:38:00 Well, I don't really care!
00:38:01 - You care!
00:38:03 - You care!
00:38:05 And I'm not interested
00:38:08 - take me seriously or not!
00:38:10 That's why they don't take it seriously.
00:38:11 I found an apartment on Houston Street,
00:38:14 And I'll tell you something else,
00:38:16 I don't think we like the same people
00:38:19 - And I wanna be on my own.
00:38:21 I don't give a damn!
00:38:22 Oh! I know you don't give a damn!
00:38:24 Well, will you tell me
00:38:26 You shouldn't! Don't give a damn!
00:38:27 - I don't give a damn, either!
00:38:30 - I'm getting out of here!
00:39:20 Honey, can we just
00:39:25 Let's go somewhere
00:40:01 Provincetown was
00:40:07 And it was very, very conservative.
00:40:11 We'd take the Fall River steamer
00:40:14 We used to save fares
00:40:17 And we always got bedbugs.
00:40:19 You did whatever you pleased up there.
00:40:21 And we put on some very
00:40:25 that a commercial theater
00:40:27 Take Susan Glaspell's Trifles.
00:40:30 There's a whole play
00:40:32 without the protagonist
00:40:35 And they gave three one-act plays.
00:40:38 One of them was a play by...
00:40:40 I always thought it was by John Reed
00:40:44 But I see it's by her.
00:40:46 They were in it.
00:40:47 The play was terrible,
00:40:50 And of course, Gene O'Neill
00:40:54 but I liked his plays
00:40:57 Will you never understand?
00:40:58 Are you so stupid
00:41:01 I am offering myself to you.
00:41:03 I am kneeling before you.
00:41:05 I have promised you my body,
00:41:07 my body that men have
00:41:09 I have promised to love you,
00:41:14 Tell them not to stand behind the moon.
00:41:18 Don't stand behind the moon.
00:41:20 - Back?
00:41:22 'Cause of the moon.
00:41:23 This is the moon here.
00:41:25 - This way?
00:41:27 Take it from "I hate the sea."
00:41:29 Will you never understand?
00:41:30 Are you so stupid
00:41:32 I'm offering myself to you.
00:41:34 I'm kneeling before you.
00:41:36 I... I, who have had so many men
00:41:39 I'm offering you my body,
00:41:41 my body that men have
00:41:45 I have promised to love you.
00:41:47 You, a negro sailor.
00:41:49 Is that not humiliation enough
00:41:53 Answer me, please! Answer me.
00:41:55 Will you give me that water?
00:41:58 I have no water.
00:42:01 Old Teddy wants this war, doesn't he?
00:42:03 I wonder how long it'll take the public
00:42:06 Teddy Roosevelt has rabies.
00:42:08 Jack, your second speech is out.
00:42:10 And the ironic part of it is
00:42:13 Sure, they do.
00:42:16 You can't touch the bunny suit.
00:42:18 Did you read the piece
00:42:19 If the left doesn't defend Wilson,
00:42:22 Think we ought to go to St. Louis?
00:42:23 I am not going to St. Louis
00:42:25 - I think we should.
00:42:27 I don't know,
00:42:29 in a war in a few months,
00:42:31 Wilson's kept us out so far.
00:42:33 Reed thought that he was a good poet.
00:42:35 He was a terrible poet.
00:42:37 He thought that he could write
00:42:39 Short stories.
00:42:41 Of course, he was a poet.
00:42:43 And not a great poet,
00:42:47 but some of it was very fine.
00:42:49 But, as a journalist,
00:42:54 - Look. Pull this up.
00:42:56 See? That's good.
00:42:58 Jack, your ride's here.
00:43:00 - Excuse me. I'll wait outside.
00:43:05 - Do you see what I mean? If one...
00:43:12 Yeah, I got to run.
00:43:17 Bye, honey.
00:43:26 Jack Reed wanted to stir up trouble,
00:43:28 he wanted to stir up trouble
00:43:30 And he also wanted
00:43:34 to the necessity of some
00:43:38 In other words, I am accusing him
00:43:43 or of being a fraidy-cat,
00:43:47 not wanting to face things
00:43:53 Dear Louise, St. Louis is very hot
00:43:57 all having a wonderful time
00:44:00 in anticipation of Wilson's nomination.
00:44:02 I'd like to think it's because
00:44:03 he doesn't want the United States
00:44:05 but who knows
00:44:07 By the way, I've decided to throw out
00:44:10 The rhyming scheme was wrong.
00:44:11 Maybe when I get back
00:44:14 Politics sure plays hell
00:44:16 I keep thinking I see you.
00:44:19 I miss you, honey.
00:45:06 - Hello.
00:45:18 Would you like a glass?
00:45:28 Don't try and decide.
00:45:31 I'll get you one.
00:45:37 I like your play.
00:45:39 I only hope I can do the part justice.
00:45:42 I think your dialogue is beautiful.
00:45:45 Then why the hell
00:45:47 instead of wandering all over the stage?
00:45:50 You're supposed to be looking
00:45:52 Would you rather I didn't smoke
00:45:53 I'd rather you went up in flames
00:45:56 in the middle
00:45:58 I'm sorry. You're absolutely right.
00:45:59 It makes me wanna cancel
00:46:01 I won't do it again.
00:46:14 You keep the glass. I'll take the bottle.
00:46:17 Are you leaving?
00:46:19 Give me your glass.
00:46:32 Are you nervous?
00:46:34 - Or is that a tremor?
00:46:37 Why should I be?
00:46:52 - What are they?
00:46:58 The things that you have that are yours.
00:47:02 What are they?
00:47:05 My work, for one.
00:47:08 He's a real mean
00:47:11 What do you mean?
00:47:13 Leaving you alone with your work.
00:47:16 - You think I mind?
00:47:20 It's the one thing
00:47:22 - You may feel that way, I don't.
00:47:25 Don't let those village radicals keep you
00:47:29 What do you think I should be?
00:47:32 The center of attention.
00:47:35 Well, you must have been
00:47:38 Let's just say possessive.
00:47:40 Possessive? That's something else.
00:47:43 It's a waste of time.
00:47:45 I'm not.
00:47:47 Neither is Jack, for that matter.
00:47:50 Oh, yes. I know.
00:47:53 He has the freedom to do the things
00:47:56 And I think anyone who's afraid
00:47:58 is really only afraid
00:48:02 Are you making this up
00:48:06 I'd like you to go.
00:48:10 Why?
00:48:11 Because I don't want to be patronized.
00:48:13 I'm sorry if you don't believe
00:48:15 and free love and respect.
00:48:16 Don't give me a lot of parlor socialism
00:48:21 If you were mine, I wouldn't share you
00:48:26 It'd be just you and me.
00:48:32 You know,
00:48:34 than being left alone with your work.
00:48:49 - I hope I haven't upset you.
00:48:53 But you seem to be looking
00:48:56 than what I had in mind.
00:48:58 - Than what you had in mind?
00:49:01 You see, Jack and I
00:49:05 of living with our beliefs.
00:49:08 But I think someone as romantic as you
00:49:12 And I don't want that to happen.
00:49:39 You can't come and play in my yard
00:49:42 I don't love you anymore
00:49:46 You'll be sorry when you see me
00:49:49 Sliding down my cellar door
00:49:53 You can't holler down my rain barrel
00:49:56 You can't climb my apple tree
00:50:01 I don't want to play in your yard
00:50:05 If you can't be good to me
00:50:41 I don't want to play in your yard
00:50:44 I don't like you anymore
00:50:47 You'll be sorry when you see me
00:50:50 Sliding down our cellar door
00:50:54 You can't holler down our rain barrel
00:50:57 You can't climb our apple tree
00:51:01 I don't want to play in your yard
00:51:04 If you won't be good to me
00:51:10 Wonderful!
00:51:29 Floyd, I've been
00:51:53 Tap your sensuality.
00:52:11 - Wonderful close.
00:52:13 Very good. Excellent.
00:52:17 - Floyd, that's new for you, isn't it?
00:52:20 - Okay. Who's next?
00:52:21 two-thirds of my new play.
00:52:23 You said it was a work
00:52:25 Oh, did I? How quickly we forget.
00:52:45 - Well!
00:52:48 News from the front.
00:52:49 - Hello, Jack.
00:52:50 - Hi, Jack.
00:52:54 Welcome back.
00:52:56 - Who's next?
00:52:58 Let's have a dance out of Gene.
00:53:00 Jack, you're just in time
00:53:04 Okay. Do something Irish.
00:53:06 Yeah. Let's have it, Gene.
00:53:08 - Yeah. Go ahead Gene.
00:53:10 Hutch says it's wonderful.
00:53:12 Tell us about the convention, Jack.
00:53:14 Never mind the speech.
00:53:19 - What about Wilson?
00:53:24 Oh, I don't think there's any reason to
00:53:27 other than support the interest of the
00:53:31 But as long as he says he's against it,
00:53:35 Because he'll have to make good on
00:53:38 for at least a few months
00:53:40 to strengthen the anti-war coalition.
00:53:42 But there's a lot more pro-war feeling in
00:54:01 You want another drink, Gene?
00:54:08 I guess not.
00:54:24 - Good night.
00:54:28 Good night.
00:54:40 Would you like
00:54:42 No, thanks.
00:54:44 Well, I'll have some, anyway.
00:54:59 - What's this?
00:55:02 May I read it?
00:55:08 I didn't finish it.
00:55:27 Finish it.
00:55:34 Finish it?
00:55:39 Would that make you happy?
00:55:46 I'm happy.
00:55:58 - Jack.
00:56:01 Jack.
00:56:05 There's something
00:56:07 - You don't have to tell me anything.
00:56:11 No.
00:56:22 You want to get married?
00:56:55 Okay. There we go. I'll see...
00:57:01 - Oh, careful there. Careful.
00:57:05 Two? No, there should be three.
00:57:13 Oh, excuse me. I'm sorry.
00:57:15 It's not that
00:57:17 It's just that I'm very concerned
00:57:22 - Here. No. No.
00:57:47 Where's the whiskey?
00:57:50 - Lady, where do you want this?
00:57:53 That'll be fine. Thank you.
00:57:57 Yeah.
00:58:00 - Anything to drink in there?
00:58:02 Oh, here. Thanks.
00:58:05 - Thank you. Good.
00:58:15 Oh. Well. Let's see now. Here we are.
00:58:23 - Gene?
00:58:26 Oh. Let's see.
00:58:29 Well, I guess I should have
00:58:34 No. No, that isn't the right one.
00:58:37 Try this one.
00:58:39 Well, what are you working on, Gene?
00:58:42 At the moment, Scotch.
00:58:44 I found a cup. Will a cup be all right?
00:58:47 - I'd prefer a glass.
00:58:52 You know,
00:58:56 That's not like you, not that I have
00:59:01 Success at last. See, a... Here we go.
00:59:15 Your skill as a bartender
00:59:18 - Are you nervous?
00:59:21 Why should I be nervous? My God,
00:59:38 - What is it?
00:59:43 And that I won't be possessive
00:59:46 And you can sleep with whoever
00:59:51 I'll do anything that you say.
00:59:56 So you can do whatever you want to,
01:00:00 except not see me.
01:00:04 Or smoke during the monologue.
01:00:11 Gene, Jack and I,
01:00:14 because we were too embarrassed.
01:00:18 But
01:00:21 we're married.
01:00:23 Jack and I got married.
01:00:28 - That is embarrassing.
01:00:32 We felt very silly, but we wanted to do it.
01:00:34 And it's gonna be good.
01:00:37 We're gonna spend
01:00:39 That's why we took a lease
01:00:40 so we wouldn't have to go back
01:00:42 Does this mean that we have to cheat?
01:00:44 Or is this a free
01:00:46 - Gene.
01:00:48 and you used me
01:00:51 No, I didn't.
01:00:53 I just want us to be friends, Gene.
01:00:56 Oh, how genteel. That would be a
01:00:58 "There's Louise with Jack and Gene.
01:01:01 "He's crazy about her,
01:01:04 "Poor Jack. Poor Gene.
01:01:14 What a heartbreaker you are, Louise.
01:01:18 I'm sorry. I'm...
01:01:22 Where is he?
01:01:26 Washington.
01:01:27 Well, Mrs. Reed,
01:01:30 I'll do whatever you say.
01:01:36 Wish us well?
01:01:50 I wish you well.
01:01:53 You and Jack.
01:02:33 Jack!
01:02:36 Oh, God.
01:02:40 I'm not sure whether she had an affair
01:02:43 with Eugene O'Neill or not
01:02:46 And nobody seemed to know. Or...
01:02:49 It was nobody's business, anyway, so...
01:02:53 I don't know what that situation was.
01:02:55 The report was that
01:02:59 had a ménage à trois.
01:03:04 Jack, what... What is...
01:03:23 Oh, God! I swear...
01:03:25 ...that we love America!
01:03:28 We love her mountains, her forests...
01:03:31 There were mutinies
01:03:34 there were mutinies
01:03:37 And then, in 1917, the troops,
01:03:41 poorly equipped, poorly clothed,
01:03:45 to talk it out with the czar.
01:03:46 And when they got through,
01:03:48 Revolution in Russia.
01:03:50 This was the spring of 1917.
01:03:54 And I became so excited
01:03:56 that I zigzag-jumped the benches
01:04:00 as we walked out of the park.
01:04:03 Oh, I was so happy as a young boy.
01:04:05 Revolution, the people take over,
01:04:09 down with the czar!
01:04:12 Naturally, I was happy.
01:04:56 Well, haven't you made the politics
01:05:00 - What do you mean "nebulous"?
01:05:02 - How can you say they're unclear?
01:05:05 Why am I necessarily attempting
01:05:06 to define the politics
01:05:08 It isn't what I said.
01:05:14 Oh, it's just an opinion.
01:05:19 You know,
01:05:22 I could take them on the train with me.
01:05:25 Wilson, of course,
01:05:27 "Keep us out of war" in 1916.
01:05:30 But in 1917, Wilson reversed himself
01:05:34 and declared war against Germany.
01:05:38 The mission at that time was to make
01:05:42 Reed said,
01:05:45 "This is a war for democracy?
01:05:50 If men really disapproved of war, dear,
01:05:56 Men like wars. Always have.
01:06:00 So they all went and got little uniforms,
01:06:04 - My country is at war!
01:06:06 And so today, I, too, am at war!
01:06:12 My name is Jack Reed,
01:06:15 This is not my war, and I'm not gonna
01:06:19 All right. All right.
01:06:20 All right, folks.
01:06:22 There was a lot of anti-war feeling,
01:06:24 We had no one against the war.
01:06:28 Well, I'm not talking about saying it
01:06:33 How do we move them?
01:06:35 Right. How do we organize them?
01:06:38 The Socialist Party...
01:06:43 The Socialist Party of America
01:06:46 You think the Socialist Party
01:06:48 You boys are Reds, aren't you?
01:06:50 The Socialist Party is useless.
01:06:54 Now, that's the truth. Jack?
01:06:56 The United States is at war.
01:06:58 Your friends are talking to you.
01:07:00 If the workers of the world act together,
01:07:03 This one even pisses red.
01:07:07 You ran around saving the world
01:07:09 Very intelligent.
01:07:11 And you're gonna keep running around
01:07:13 until you wind up
01:07:15 And then,
01:07:16 Harry, how much is the government
01:07:19 - Very funny. Keep laughing.
01:07:20 That hurt, didn't it?
01:07:24 Listen, I'm gonna tell you something.
01:07:26 You're not gonna be able to keep doing
01:07:29 This is a serious condition.
01:07:31 Harry, look, I want to know if...
01:07:35 Could this thing interfere
01:07:38 - Yes. You cannot have sex if you die.
01:07:43 Are you thinking about having children?
01:07:46 Not at the moment,
01:07:51 Is Louise talking about it?
01:07:54 No.
01:07:56 Well, just because
01:07:58 it doesn't mean
01:07:59 Don't worry. You don't make babies
01:08:02 Look, I'm gonna send you home
01:08:04 Tell her to keep you there,
01:08:06 give you lots of liquids.
01:08:08 Look, Louise doesn't know about
01:08:12 - Fine.
01:08:13 - I don't want it sent to the house.
01:08:20 Not at the moment.
01:08:21 Then why the hell
01:08:24 It is my belief that socialism and peace
01:08:28 And I reiterate that the Socialist Party
01:08:32 its resolution to oppose
01:08:35 Mr. Chairman, Louis Fraina,
01:08:37 The chair recognizes
01:08:40 And I still want to know
01:08:41 what specific action
01:08:44 Your resolution is all very nice,
01:08:46 but will it stop even one boy from
01:08:49 ...stigmatized as unpatriotic.
01:08:51 The task that confronts us is difficult.
01:08:54 Let us hope
01:08:55 What's that supposed to mean?
01:08:57 Stupid!
01:08:58 I'd like to know if the Socialist Party
01:09:02 - That's what I'd like to know.
01:09:05 I am not a delegate, Mr. Chairman.
01:09:08 I write for the magazine The Masses,
01:09:09 and I want to know if the Socialist Party
01:09:12 I'm sorry, Mr. Reed.
01:09:15 Now, this floor is reserved
01:09:18 Mr. Chairman,
01:09:20 - to take a position on the draft or not?
01:09:21 I'm sorry, Mr. Reed.
01:09:24 Let him speak, will you?
01:09:25 Mr. Reed,
01:09:28 I'm just trying to be a journalist.
01:09:30 So is Trotsky.
01:09:33 Why don't you join the Socialist Party?
01:09:37 Big things are happening in Russia.
01:09:39 As appalling as it may seem
01:09:43 I can understand the necessity
01:09:45 during times of war.
01:09:47 The task that confronts us is a giant!
01:09:50 In that,
01:10:07 - We have to give this dog a name.
01:10:11 What's the matter with her name?
01:10:14 - I can't find anything in this house.
01:10:17 I suppose if she were a baby,
01:10:19 Not really.
01:10:21 No. No. Bad.
01:10:23 See, now this is why
01:10:24 You put things anywhere.
01:10:26 Dog! Dog!
01:10:27 She's still not housebroken.
01:10:29 You got to grab her
01:10:32 and then take her outside. That's right.
01:10:34 And then when she goes,
01:10:37 All right. Now, stay, Dog.
01:10:39 Are we having garlic for dinner, honey?
01:10:41 No, no, no.
01:10:50 Why? Why, do you think
01:10:54 I thought I'd put a little in the sauce.
01:10:57 Garlic doesn't bother me.
01:11:11 - That's from Gene.
01:11:15 I didn't realize what it was.
01:11:24 He gave it to me in October.
01:11:27 - You don't have to explain.
01:11:29 - I'm just telling you it's over.
01:11:32 I don't expect you to tell me
01:11:34 What about if you tell me something,
01:11:36 - Jack, I haven't seen him.
01:11:38 Don't tell me that Gene gave you
01:11:41 but you put it in a book
01:11:43 I don't care
01:11:44 - I just care about dishonesty.
01:11:46 You don't care
01:11:48 you just care about dishonesty?
01:11:50 You care. You care so much,
01:11:52 - You won't even mention...
01:11:54 You want to be honest about it?
01:11:55 If I didn't wanna be honest about it,
01:11:56 do you think I'd be silly enough
01:11:58 lying around in the house
01:12:00 Why not Whitman?
01:12:02 I'm sure Gene would feel right at home
01:12:04 Oh, no. You don't care.
01:12:06 Why the hell should I care that
01:12:08 Do you think I haven't?
01:12:09 I don't think we have to report
01:12:11 every time we go to bed with somebody.
01:12:14 It doesn't mean that I love you any less.
01:12:15 Do you love me any less
01:12:22 What difference does it make?
01:12:24 I just don't think we should lie about it.
01:12:27 - Who?
01:12:30 - Who was it?
01:12:32 Who was it?
01:12:34 What do you want, a list?
01:12:48 Louise.
01:12:51 Louise.
01:12:58 - What are you doing?
01:13:01 - I wanna know where you're going.
01:13:03 - Well, I wanna talk about it.
01:13:06 What? What did I say now
01:13:09 Please forward my mail
01:13:10 Wheeler Bell Syndicate.
01:13:11 I'll have someone pick up
01:13:14 Didn't we say that people had to give
01:13:16 - if they were gonna live together?
01:13:18 I thought
01:13:20 - I thought you loved me!
01:13:22 You love yourself! Me, you fuck!
01:13:24 When you're not fucking other people,
01:13:27 Freedom? You mean I should just be
01:13:32 Is that what fucking Gene means?
01:13:35 I'm not packing my bag.
01:13:38 - Get out of my...
01:13:40 - Get out of my...
01:13:44 Get away! Get out of my way.
01:14:11 - How many were there?
01:14:16 You don't know the first thing about
01:14:27 Go ahead. I know where you're going.
01:14:28 I thought you needed someone
01:14:31 As long as you get your two shots of
01:14:33 You don't need a thing.
01:14:42 You go to hell! Both of you!
01:15:11 It could possibly have been
01:15:16 to say that you had an affair
01:15:20 I haven't been spared
01:15:22 the legends about men that are
01:15:27 because I was known by name.
01:15:30 Affairs which never occurred at all.
01:15:33 It's very difficult to tell, you know.
01:15:36 Do you know there is nothing
01:15:39 than when you get a letter
01:15:42 "That marvelous week
01:15:44 - Yeah.
01:15:48 - Yes.
01:15:53 One day, I was out walking
01:15:59 And she was quite something.
01:16:03 And I said to her,
01:16:05 "What is all this ado about Louise?
01:16:09 "What do you think of her, Aunt Belle?"
01:16:12 She said,
01:16:13 "Well, she had something
01:16:20 That's my story.
01:16:22 - How you feeling?
01:16:24 - Here you are.
01:16:26 Thanks.
01:16:28 Well, we got it out just in time.
01:16:30 But since God only knows what
01:16:33 you better treat it well.
01:16:35 That means, tell that goddamn Eastman
01:16:38 If you get an infection now, that's it!
01:16:41 "Dear Jack,
01:16:43 "I talked to a specialist here in Paris.

01:17:21 Bolsheviks, Sandy. The Bolsheviks!
01:17:23 Jesus Christ,
01:17:25 you can just bend right over
01:17:28 Because they'll pull Russia
01:17:30 Right off the Eastern Front.
01:17:33 Pete, the Bolsheviks are small potatoes.
01:17:35 Russia isn't gonna get out of the war.
01:17:36 You want to walk down
01:17:39 and see 500,000 Krauts
01:17:42 You better hope that the Bolsheviks
01:17:45 Now, let's have another drink. Waiter!
01:17:48 Waiter, another round here.
01:17:50 Hey! Oh, God. It's Red Emma, Jr!
01:17:53 Hey, come over here!
01:17:54 Speak up, Pete, speak up.
01:17:57 - How are you, Jack?
01:17:59 God. You look 20 pounds lighter
01:18:02 - Oh, yeah?
01:18:04 Yeah, but twice as often. Sarsaparilla.
01:18:06 Jack, can the Bolsheviks
01:18:09 Okay. Why don't you ask
01:18:12 Goddamn it, Jack. What the hell
01:18:16 Shit, why don't you bury the hatchet
01:18:19 Get back into print so we can all read
01:18:23 - I'll drink to that.
01:18:26 Well, that's right, too.
01:18:29 Jesus Christ. It's good to see you.
01:18:33 Not so good.
01:18:35 - She's good.
01:18:37 that John Wheeler wouldn't know
01:18:41 I'll tell you.
01:18:43 What the hell are you doing?
01:18:45 You realize that?
01:18:47 They think you're some kind
01:18:49 I love it! Goddamn, I love it!
01:18:51 Give them hell, Jack. Give them hell.
01:18:53 - Is that a sarsaparilla with ice?
01:18:55 You bet your sweet patoosie,
01:18:58 Why wouldn't John Wheeler
01:19:01 John Wheeler's a dumbbell, that's why.
01:19:04 No, he's all right.
01:19:05 I just hate to see Louise get hurt.
01:19:09 What are you talking about?
01:19:13 Jesus Christ.
01:19:16 Don't tell her that I told you. All right?
01:19:19 Told me what?
01:19:21 Well, Ben Parsons told me
01:19:24 because she hadn't turned anything in
01:19:28 other than some story about a cop
01:19:30 that went over there to drive
01:19:35 - He let her go?
01:19:41 - When did you hear that?
01:19:44 No, it was a month.
01:19:48 Oh, look, Jack,
01:19:51 Tell her she shouldn't feel ashamed
01:19:53 - I'm gonna see you later, huh?
01:19:55 Hell, we've all been fired.
01:19:58 Hell, I'll drink to it.
01:19:59 Imagine, 65 million
01:20:03 go to war. Right?
01:20:05 10 million die.
01:20:07 10 million become orphans.
01:20:09 20 million become maimed, crippled,
01:20:15 You had catastrophe in Europe.
01:20:18 You had a holocaust in Europe.
01:20:21 You had a desire for change.
01:20:24 Who can stop them
01:20:25 when there was
01:20:29 Who could stop them?
01:20:41 You know, I think I'm gonna have to get
01:20:47 - What are you...
01:20:52 You look fine. Are you all right now?
01:20:54 Oh, God, yes.
01:20:57 The second one's just for show.
01:21:01 Sorry, this isn't a very good time.
01:21:08 They're moving me
01:21:11 So, I'm just not going to be able to
01:21:14 Could we just go out here a second?
01:21:17 - Look, I'm on my way to Russia.
01:21:20 Very funny.
01:21:22 I know you're doing work here
01:21:23 'cause I read the ambulance piece
01:21:25 - Thank you.
01:21:27 and I know how important that is to you.
01:21:28 But you got to have enough sense
01:21:30 if you're trying to build up
01:21:32 to be in the right place at the right time.
01:21:33 - I appreciate your advice.
01:21:36 - Thank you. I'll remember that.
01:21:39 They're in their third
01:21:41 You know what that means? It means
01:21:44 The workers are deserting the factories,
01:21:48 The exiles are all coming back.
01:21:52 All of them are going back,
01:21:54 it might be the real thing.
01:21:55 And if they have
01:21:57 they'd have one in Germany,
01:22:00 - it could happen all over the world.
01:22:02 Louise, that'd be the end of the war.
01:22:04 You don't have to tell me
01:22:06 - I read the papers.
01:22:08 As a colleague,
01:22:10 Come with me as a colleague.
01:22:12 Oh, yeah? Well, that's what you said
01:22:14 - I was right about New York.
01:22:16 And I happen to think my work is...
01:22:17 It is important. But it's not important as
01:22:20 I wanna work together. As partners.
01:22:22 I don't want a partner. And if
01:22:25 - I wouldn't need you to take me.
01:22:27 Russia is not the safest place
01:22:30 You may be a hell of a journalist.
01:22:37 Louise, we'd better hurry along.
01:22:42 So, moving you out of here, huh?
01:22:44 Yes. I've been promised an interview
01:22:46 Well, I've got to run along myself.
01:22:50 - Sorry I don't have any time.
01:22:52 I just...
01:22:55 You've wasted your money, Jack.
01:22:57 Change the date. Go by yourself.
01:23:01 Keep up the good work.
01:23:04 Jack.
01:23:07 Good luck.
01:23:09 Yeah, you, too.
01:23:16 I got a taxi waiting.
01:23:44 Jack! Jack Reed!
01:23:47 - Joe, Joe Volski.
01:23:49 Oh, fine, fine.
01:23:52 - Yes. Yeah.
01:23:54 Great things are happening.
01:24:00 - I think I am.
01:24:23 We met in Chicago.
01:24:26 Boy, oh, boy. Were you a speaker!
01:24:30 You don't remember me, eh?
01:24:34 Well, it's not that.
01:24:37 - Maybe I just... Maybe it's the hat.
01:24:40 Yeah. Maybe I just don't recognize you
01:24:43 Oh, then I'm a revolutionary
01:24:47 Well, comes the revolution,
01:24:50 - I see you're studying Russian.
01:24:53 Know what?
01:24:57 - What?
01:24:58 ask me anything you want in Russian.
01:25:01 Thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
01:25:04 Let's see...
01:25:05 Excuse me.
01:25:08 I'd be a goddamned fool not to take you
01:25:11 I want to sign my own name
01:25:13 and I don't want to use a double byline.
01:25:15 I want to be responsible
01:25:18 I want to be referred to as Miss Bryant,
01:25:20 and I want to keep an account
01:25:22 so that I can pay you back.
01:25:24 Now, I assume you know that
01:25:26 so just don't confuse the issue
01:25:29 That's it.
01:25:31 - Fine.
01:25:33 You like salami?
01:25:38 He says,
01:25:40 "I forgot my teeth on the table."
01:25:42 He says, "Hell with your teeth!
01:25:44 "What do you think,
01:26:01 After the revolution,
01:26:03 Thank you very much.
01:26:07 By the way, did you hear this one?
01:26:28 Lenin asks,
01:26:31 I says, "I want to remember
01:26:42 This is a hard word,
01:26:45 Okay.
01:26:49 "Are you one of the family?"
01:26:59 There's a foreman of a logging camp,
01:27:02 You know, and he goes down
01:27:04 and he gets to a little man in the back
01:27:05 and he says, "Who the hell are you?
01:27:07 "Don't you know that I need men who
01:27:10 "Where the hell
01:27:12 And the little man says,
01:27:14 And the foreman says,
01:27:16 And the little man says,
01:27:22 A woman knocks at the door
01:27:25 I didn't tell you that?
01:27:26 She says, "My husband just died.
01:27:31 He says,
01:27:34 She says, "The pants, I wear."
01:27:44 The Russian border.
01:27:52 The Russian border.
01:28:19 He's already fighting for three months.
01:28:21 Now he joined the Bolsheviks
01:28:29 I don't think he's afraid.
01:28:33 And the Bolsheviks will stop the war.
01:28:38 He's 14 years old.
01:29:12 The Communists obviously wanted
01:29:16 Because the country was completely
01:29:19 There was treason
01:29:22 There was everything under the sun.
01:29:24 But certainly...
01:29:27 of conducting a war.
01:29:29 Kerensky was anxious to conduct it,
01:29:32 produce some battalions of women
01:29:41 Jack Reed!
01:29:44 Alex, what the hell are you doing here?
01:29:46 - You have someone to meet you?
01:29:48 Then what luck I am here!
01:29:51 - Lois?
01:29:52 Alex Gomberg.
01:29:53 - Looking for accommodation?
01:29:56 More good luck.
01:29:59 You have transportation?
01:30:03 A lot of people had an idea
01:30:06 I could not blame them
01:30:09 but I wasn't.
01:30:11 The one person
01:30:14 - was Beatrice Webb.
01:30:16 She didn't know a thing.
01:30:17 Do not be misled by the quiet
01:30:20 Underneath is great tension.
01:30:23 Alex, how much time
01:30:25 Any day now, the Bolsheviks will strike.
01:30:33 Fantastic, isn't it?
01:30:34 A quiet street,
01:30:39 Give him four rubles.
01:30:44 Jack, Lois. Lucky for you, I am here.
01:30:48 Yeah. Thanks. Thanks again.
01:30:55 Only one bed? That's a double.
01:30:58 Single. That's a single!
01:31:01 This is good for me. I can just...
01:31:05 Good.
01:31:12 I don't mind this at all.
01:31:26 He's calling for an insurrection,
01:31:28 Day and night. Day and night.
01:31:30 "Another insurrection will ruin Russia."
01:31:32 "Another insurrection will save Russia."
01:31:33 "The war is ruining Russia."
01:31:35 "Without England or France,
01:31:39 "The Bolsheviks are ruining Russia."
01:31:41 Lois, lucky for you, I am here.
01:31:43 Louise.
01:31:45 - This is the line for bread.
01:31:47 There's another line for boots.
01:31:50 And there is still another line for cards
01:31:52 on which they'll get the boots
01:31:55 Did we have to get rid of the czar
01:32:00 - What does that mean?
01:32:04 Vosstanie means "Insurrection,"
01:32:08 and Bolsheviki means Bolshevik.
01:32:10 So I think it calls for an insurrection
01:32:13 against the Kerensky government
01:32:15 - What's a kornilovtsy?
01:32:18 Look, if they buy this,
01:32:23 they're gonna cut you down
01:32:25 - That starts out like you got 5,000.
01:32:30 I'd lose this. I'd lose this.
01:32:34 But what's your lead?
01:32:38 Oh, I know what you think.
01:32:40 Well, I just don't know if you're gonna
01:32:43 with that for a lead. You know?
01:32:48 You're right.
01:32:51 And the strongman line
01:32:57 You've been right
01:33:02 The Bolsheviks will take Russia
01:33:08 - Good night.
01:33:11 "In the streets the talk
01:33:13 "Neither of which
01:33:15 "Everybody knows that
01:33:16 "Everybody knows that
01:33:17 "but nobody knows just what."
01:33:20 Yes?
01:33:21 I'm sorry, I don't speak Russian.
01:33:23 "Petrograd does not sleep.
01:33:25 "At night, the arguments grow louder
01:33:27 "Nobody is satisfied with Kerensky.
01:33:29 "The far right wants a strongman,
01:33:32 "Everyone waits to see
01:33:34 "It is not easy to write fairly about
01:33:37 "He is absorbed, cold,
01:33:39 - You're editorializing here.
01:33:42 - At the end.
01:33:47 What I don't understand is...
01:33:50 Why did you take out the piece
01:33:53 - It is good, isn't it?
01:33:54 Put it back in for me.
01:34:02 Mr. Zinoviev, do you still feel
01:34:05 for a Bolshevik insurrection?
01:34:07 "I interviewed Zinoviev at Smolny.
01:34:09 "He'd been in hiding with Lenin."
01:34:10 ...had another whole decade,
01:34:13 "His style is still that of a man in hiding.
01:34:15 "We hear Trotsky speak at Smolny.
01:34:17 "If Lenin represents thought,
01:34:20 "He is essentially an agitator."
01:34:21 "The meeting hall at Smolny
01:34:22 "someone in the platform
01:34:25 "and everybody, including the smokers
01:34:27 "'Don't smoke, comrades! '
01:34:29 "At the point Trotsky said,
01:34:31 "'but if the Kerensky government
01:34:33 "'we shall answer blow by blow,'
01:34:34 "the audience broke into wild cheers."
01:34:36 "Lenin is a strange popular leader,
01:34:40 "Colorless, humorless,
01:34:43 "he seems to have
01:34:46 "or his gift for phrasemaking,
01:34:50 Kerensky is some socialist, huh?
01:34:54 "The Winter Palace of the czar, where
01:34:57 - "is vast and magnificent..."
01:34:59 "There's no sign here
01:35:01 "that convulse Moscow and Odessa.
01:35:03 "No evidence that
01:35:05 "that the army is starving
01:35:08 "Kerensky is full of old-world manners
01:35:11 "'Provisional government will last,'
01:35:14 "'in spite of the Bolsheviks.'"
01:35:15 "He seemed bitter, defensive."
01:35:18 900,000 men deserted
01:35:21 That's 14% of the Russian army. I...
01:35:26 I'm sort of braising the cabbage.
01:35:30 You know that house
01:35:33 Evidently, the banker's daughter
01:35:37 'cause some woman streetcar
01:35:40 So after dinner, they all voted
01:35:42 they preferred the Germans
01:35:45 Anyway, the Social Revolutionaries
01:35:48 to please not to mention their visit,
01:35:50 because they were already considered
01:35:52 And you know,
01:35:54 you couldn't even see a year ago,
01:35:56 Karsavina is dancing tonight.
01:35:59 And, oh, Manny Komroff says
01:36:01 Jack...
01:36:03 Thanks for bringing me here.
01:36:17 Will they strike?
01:36:20 Do you speak English?
01:36:24 Do you speak English?
01:36:25 Do you speak English?
01:36:29 Do you speak English?
01:36:31 Do you speak English?
01:36:33 Do you speak English?
01:36:35 - Do you speak English?
01:36:37 Will they strike?
01:36:43 - New York?
01:36:44 - You know Broome Street?
01:36:46 I know,
01:36:47 - I lived there four years.
01:36:51 What is he saying?
01:36:53 Can you tell me what he's saying?
01:36:55 He says don't strike.
01:36:58 to leave our Russian soldiers
01:37:03 You are a long way from New York.
01:37:24 He says that our Russian
01:37:27 are also strike.
01:37:28 That is why they're leaving the Front.
01:37:43 What's that?
01:37:44 He said that the workers of England,
01:37:46 will be left alone to fight Germany.
01:37:48 Tell him he doesn't know
01:37:49 in England, France and America
01:37:51 You lived in New York. Tell him that.
01:37:53 You are right, American.
01:38:02 Go ahead, you speak.
01:38:07 Go ahead.
01:38:08 Tell them about your American workers.
01:38:10 No, I can't speak here, I don't have
01:38:12 - I'm an American...
01:38:15 Everyone has credentials here.
01:38:17 He ask you to speak.
01:38:20 Speak. I translate.
01:38:46 I only want to say that if you strike,
01:38:48 the American workers
01:38:57 They're waiting for your example.
01:39:00 They're waiting for your leadership.
01:39:02 If you refuse to support
01:39:05 they will follow your example.
01:39:07 And if workers of the world
01:39:09 the war can be stopped.
01:39:18 They support you
00:00:05 And the last fight
00:00:09 The Internationale
00:00:12 Unites the human race
00:00:15 Then, comrades, come rally
00:00:18 And the last fight
00:00:21 The Internationale
00:00:24 Unites the human race
00:00:28 That's how it goes.
00:00:29 Porter!
00:00:36 Confiscate it.
00:00:38 I'll take it with me to Washington
00:00:40 On whose authority?
00:00:43 The authority of the Attorney General.
00:00:46 All right, pack it up.
00:00:48 - Attorney General?
00:00:52 That's upside down.
00:00:55 - Louise!
00:00:57 How are you?
00:01:00 Max. Hi!
00:01:04 Hi!
00:01:05 Oh, God, Louise. You look good!
00:01:08 God, whatever you've been doing,
00:01:10 Oh, thank you.
00:01:12 He's gonna write a great book, Max,
00:01:15 so we can have something to live on.
00:01:16 And he's gonna write
00:01:18 And then we're gonna go back to Croton
00:01:20 and he's gonna help me edit
00:01:22 on women in the Revolution,
00:01:23 and then we're gonna help
00:01:25 No more separations.
00:01:28 We're really going to get down
00:01:30 It's so moving.
00:01:34 Well, they took my notes.
00:01:38 Can they do that?
00:01:39 Welcome home. Let's go.
00:01:42 Come on, come on.
00:01:44 You'll write your book.
00:01:46 A lot's been happening. Now what
00:01:48 I understand you and Louise
00:01:51 It's a very difficult situation
00:01:53 for a country who is conducting a war,
00:01:57 when one of its allies has a revolution
00:02:00 and the government is changed.
00:02:02 The thing that made the furor
00:02:06 and we lost an ally.
00:02:08 We thought the Russians
00:02:11 The Bolshevik Revolution, at the time,
00:02:14 was the most single striking
00:02:17 of the whole era.
00:02:19 The complete transformation
00:02:22 and the taking over
00:02:25 of the machinery of the state.
00:02:26 It never had happened before in history.
00:02:29 You're a grand old flag
00:02:30 You're a high flying flag
00:02:32 And forever and e'er may you wave
00:02:35 You're the emblem of
00:02:38 The home of the free and the brave
00:02:41 Every heart beats true
00:02:44 Where there's never a boast or brag
00:02:47 Should auld acquaintance be forgot
00:02:50 Keep your eye on the grand old flag
00:02:53 Over There is not till 1918.
00:02:56 Over there, over there
00:02:58 Send the word, send the word
00:02:59 Over there
00:03:02 You know that one.
00:03:03 But the other one
00:03:07 or before, was
00:03:12 I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
00:03:14 Yankee Doodle...
00:03:16 Real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
00:03:18 Born on the 4th of July
00:03:21 I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
00:03:24 She's my Yankee Doodle joy
00:03:26 Yankee Doodle went to London
00:03:29 I am the Yankee Doodle boy
00:03:32 That was a big hit.
00:03:35 - Do you believe in God?
00:03:39 It's a simple question, Miss Bryant.
00:03:43 I'm sorry, for a moment I thought
00:03:44 you asked me
00:03:46 That is precisely what I asked you.
00:03:48 I see. Well, I have no way of knowing.
00:03:51 Are you a Christian?
00:03:53 I was christened in the Catholic Church.
00:03:56 - Well, are you a Christian now?
00:04:00 Do you believe
00:04:03 I believe in the teachings of Christ.
00:04:07 Miss Bryant, tell me,
00:04:08 are there no decent, God-fearing
00:04:13 Does one have to be God-fearing
00:04:16 Senator, the Bolsheviks believe
00:04:19 that's kept the Russian people back
00:04:22 - Miss Bryant...
00:04:24 and seen the peasants,
00:04:26 On the subject of decency, Senator,
00:04:28 the Bolsheviks took power
00:04:31 Within six months, they made good
00:04:34 Now, the present President
00:04:36 went to this country in 1916,
00:04:40 Within six months,
00:04:42 and 115,000 young Americans
00:04:45 If that's how decent,
00:04:47 give me atheists anytime.
00:04:51 By the way, Senator Overman,
00:04:54 which is more than you can say
00:04:56 Miss Bryant,
00:04:58 do you advocate a Soviet government
00:05:01 No. In this country
00:05:04 In other words,
00:05:05 They got scared, or we got scared?
00:05:08 No, we didn't get scared.
00:05:10 They were afraid that the unions
00:05:14 A radical movement in America.
00:05:18 Oh, sure.
00:05:19 The Americans, they were frightened
00:05:23 That it could occur here.
00:05:25 Sure. Everybody was in mortal dread
00:05:28 of the government descending on them.
00:05:31 The FBI or whatever it was,
00:05:34 We had to expose them.
00:05:35 And once they told American people
00:05:39 People won't have nothing to do
00:05:41 They know what it is.
00:05:43 But then, they didn't know.
00:05:46 Public opinion was
00:05:49 who had a good word
00:05:53 But Louise was always communicating
00:05:59 I brought blankets, here,
00:06:02 and a heavy coat, here.
00:06:06 Chase and Sanborn.
00:06:08 Gloves.
00:06:09 Thank you, Jack.
00:06:12 And Louise sends you her best and this.
00:06:18 A scarf. Very kind.
00:06:22 I'm afraid your time is up.
00:06:24 Well,
00:06:26 we're going to keep fighting this.
00:06:29 Will you tell Max I'd like a picture
00:06:32 And under it, I would like the words,
00:06:37 "The government of the most
00:06:38 "is afraid of this woman."
00:06:40 We're going to get you back, E.G.
00:06:43 The revolution needs you.
00:06:46 Comrade, I'm not leaving
00:06:49 In Russia, I'll be joining it.
00:06:52 I urged the deportation of all
00:06:57 alien Communists.
00:07:01 It's bad enough having
00:07:04 but to have alien Communists
00:07:07 denouncing our form
00:07:10 and everything else,
00:07:12 And I led a big fight on that
00:07:15 It wasn't a very healthy atmosphere.
00:07:19 So when John Reed came along,
00:07:21 well, he was a voice of what I love.
00:07:24 He was able to go into the most
00:07:28 Communism, Bolshevism.
00:07:30 He was considered one of the rare
00:07:34 He knew he was
00:07:37 and he wrote it that way.
00:07:46 - A touch of this...
00:07:49 I'm in here, honey.
00:07:50 I talked to Edmund and Alfred today
00:07:53 - What a day it's turned out to be.
00:07:56 What are you doing in there?
00:08:00 - Can't I help?
00:08:02 Sure smells good. What is it?
00:08:04 Stay out, honey.
00:08:05 Stay out, honey.
00:08:06 He said in a few weeks
00:08:10 He thinks at least 200,000 of them,
00:08:15 But he doesn't think there's
00:08:18 Yeah? That's good.
00:08:19 You still thinking
00:08:21 Well, I can't really talk now,
00:08:24 Evidently the federal government's
00:08:27 So what they're doing is
00:08:30 just to look into subversive activity.
00:08:32 And you know, with all this talk
00:08:35 being in cahoots with the Steel Trust,
00:08:37 Alfred asked me if I was still gonna do
00:08:40 So I said, "Alfred, for the moment
00:08:43 - "than New Jersey."
00:08:45 Oh, that's good. That's good.
00:08:47 - Just...
00:08:49 Sit down. I'll just be a minute.
00:08:54 Jack, what are you doing?
00:08:55 - How did you leave it with Edmund?
00:08:59 Okay, the first course.
00:09:02 - Yeah?
00:09:04 Sit down and close your eyes. Sit down.
00:09:14 Okay.
00:09:18 Oh, my.
00:09:23 My...
00:09:25 - Go ahead.
00:09:34 What do you think?
00:09:37 Really? You serious?
00:09:41 Really? Thank God.
00:09:45 but the goddamn things flambéed
00:09:49 He was certainly the main inspiration
00:09:52 in the development
00:09:55 through his history
00:09:57 of Ten Days That Shook The World.
00:10:00 Ten Days That Shook The World
00:10:03 He was there when
00:10:06 And his was the best report of it.
00:10:09 Max Eastman had this story
00:10:12 tousled hair all, you know...
00:10:16 and not to disturb him for ten days.
00:10:18 And that became
00:10:22 Supposedly.
00:10:24 He was an enormous,
00:10:28 and this success
00:10:32 'cause he found out there was
00:10:35 do practically better than anyone else.
00:10:37 "Comrades, we have made
00:10:41 "to capture
00:10:43 "The time of right-wing domination
00:10:47 "They have fallen before the shining
00:10:50 "like so many bowling pins!
00:10:55 "Comrades, we have done better
00:10:58 "The left wing has won 12
00:11:00 "on the Socialist Party Executive,
00:11:02 "including myself,
00:11:15 He took a tremendous jump forward
00:11:18 He became a revolutionist
00:11:22 and he had no more illusions
00:11:25 We all have problems.
00:11:26 You can't escape having problems,
00:11:29 But to take on the problem
00:11:32 to save all humanity,
00:11:34 my God, that was too big
00:11:38 Don't you know
00:11:40 How the hell do we expect
00:11:50 Oh.
00:11:55 Louise. Is that you?
00:11:57 Hello, Harry.
00:12:00 Well, where have you been lately?
00:12:03 That's right.
00:12:05 It might. We've been kicked out.
00:12:07 - Kicked out of what?
00:12:10 - Wait, wait. Who got kicked out?
00:12:12 The Executive Committee
00:12:14 - The whole left wing?
00:12:18 - Can they do that?
00:12:20 We're the majority. We have the votes.
00:12:21 We weren't expelled
00:12:23 We were expelled by the executives.
00:12:24 And you're talking about doing exactly
00:12:26 what the Executive Committee
00:12:28 Give the party back to them
00:12:30 Yes! And organize our own party!
00:12:32 Goddamn it, Louis,
00:12:35 We were voted into power
00:12:38 and we can't be expelled
00:12:40 It's an illegal act, and if we fight it
00:12:43 Why do we have to fight?
00:12:45 What do you mean,
00:12:46 For what do we stay in a party
00:12:47 in which we must win control
00:12:51 Well, what is it, Louis? You mean,
00:12:54 then to hell with it?
00:12:57 I'd like to hear more about
00:13:00 My idea of revolution
00:13:03 And my idea of a socialist party
00:13:07 It is a party of action!
00:13:09 Fine! Fine.
00:13:11 The best example we can give them
00:13:14 and take control of the party!
00:13:16 No! We form our own party!
00:13:18 And I hope that everybody here
00:13:21 will be there that night
00:13:29 All right, but I say you're wrong,
00:13:31 and I say that I'm gonna be there
00:13:35 to take the seat that belongs to me,
00:13:38 to be there to take the seats
00:13:42 It's almost like they want to be
00:13:45 They do want to be separated
00:13:47 Let's go.
00:13:50 I've been in a minority before.
00:13:54 Hello.
00:14:01 While he liked the draft manifesto,
00:14:03 he's a bit nervous
00:14:05 - Excuse me.
00:14:07 Is he gonna bring his people
00:14:09 The man will talk theory
00:14:10 Well, I don't think so.
00:14:12 Isn't that nice? He likes the manifesto.
00:14:15 I don't think we're gonna have
00:14:17 We're gonna get in.
00:14:19 - Carnofsky said no.
00:14:21 - Just knowing on our own...
00:14:23 Come in!
00:14:27 - Hi, Eddie.
00:14:28 - Hello, Eddie.
00:14:31 Hey.
00:14:33 Eddie, what about Levine?
00:14:37 - Eddie?
00:14:39 - What did Levine say?
00:14:43 I waited over an hour.
00:14:45 - Levine didn't show.
00:14:47 Sure it does. Where were you meeting?
00:14:49 In Casey's.
00:14:50 Now, that surprises me.
00:14:54 I could have missed him.
00:14:57 It was really busy in there.
00:14:58 - You could have missed him?
00:15:01 I was late.
00:15:04 How late?
00:15:08 Forty, forty-five minutes.
00:15:11 Nora started spitting up blood
00:15:17 I had to take her to the clinic,
00:15:18 and I had to wait for my mother
00:15:22 So you were 45 minutes late.
00:15:26 Yeah. I thought I could make it.
00:15:28 All right, we gotta get in touch
00:15:31 He's on his way to Chicago.
00:15:32 That's one of the reasons
00:15:35 Wait a minute,
00:15:37 - Yeah.
00:15:41 - Who asked for the meeting?
00:15:43 - Did Levine want the meeting?
00:15:45 Did he call us?
00:15:47 No. We called him.
00:15:48 Then why would he wait?
00:15:57 I'm sorry.
00:15:58 Well, why didn't you call one of us
00:16:02 Because I thought I could make it.
00:16:04 I mean, I thought the man
00:16:06 You thought, you thought, you thought.
00:16:10 Not when your comrades
00:16:14 Be sure.
00:16:20 All right, look.
00:16:21 Do we have a contact
00:16:24 Let's call Singer.
00:16:26 - Do you have a number for him?
00:16:32 Here.
00:16:34 Thanks.
00:16:37 You know, they might work better
00:16:38 if you put something in your stomach
00:16:42 You're a little hard on Eddie,
00:16:45 You think my sympathies
00:16:47 Might help Eddie.
00:16:49 Listen to me.
00:16:59 Four, eight, twelve...
00:17:08 You know, I think we all believe
00:17:14 But with us,
00:17:17 it's more or less our good intentions.
00:17:22 And with Jack, it's a religion.
00:17:33 Our old friend Jack's
00:17:41 Okay. Hey, Frank, how are you?
00:17:43 How are you?
00:17:48 Excuse me. What's happening here?
00:17:50 No one's admitted without a red card.
00:17:53 Well, I'm on the Executive,
00:17:55 - No one's admitted without a red card.
00:17:58 You'll have to take that up
00:18:00 And where's
00:18:01 And where's
00:18:01 I don't know.
00:18:03 I don't think he wants us to go in there.
00:18:05 Well, the way to take the hall
00:18:08 Edmund!
00:18:09 Edmund! Jack!
00:18:11 Okay. Let's go. Let's go.
00:18:18 To propose the agenda,
00:18:21 from the Credentials Committee
00:18:25 May we please have order back there?
00:18:29 In the back of the hall, could we have...
00:18:31 Sergeant-at-arms, would you see
00:18:35 Ladies and gentlemen, it seems
00:18:39 who are trying to take over
00:18:41 We're not going to let them.
00:18:43 Now, please, please sit down.
00:18:47 Sergeant-at-arms,
00:18:50 Please, everyone, sit down.
00:18:52 Now, these are Bolshevik sympathizers
00:18:55 who are trying to take over this party,
00:19:00 The police are coming.
00:19:03 These people aren't socialists.
00:19:08 Now you see? That is Bolshevik tactics!
00:19:10 Come on, delegates.
00:19:12 They were not elected
00:19:14 Ladies and gentlemen,
00:19:18 - You see? The police.
00:19:20 That's the only way the Executive
00:19:24 is by the use of the capitalist police.
00:19:25 Flash your red cards!
00:19:27 They'll resort to any tactics
00:19:29 away from its true leadership
00:19:33 Officers, whoever has no red card
00:19:37 Hold up your red cards.
00:19:38 It's all right. We're going.
00:19:41 If you want to know
00:19:43 of the Socialist Party of America is,
00:19:45 it'll be in the basement of this building
00:19:48 - Red cards, everybody!
00:19:50 I want anybody who does not have
00:20:42 Comrade Chairman, I move that
00:20:45 as the bona fide Communist party,
00:20:47 and that we call ourselves
00:20:49 I second that motion!
00:20:50 Well, look, if we're gonna have
00:20:53 I think what we have to do
00:20:55 what he wants the most and then
00:20:58 in terms of the labor movement
00:21:00 What we have to do
00:21:02 We have to make him want
00:21:05 Those people upstairs
00:21:07 who wrote a good antitrust law.
00:21:09 And whether we call our party
00:21:11 or the Real Socialist Communist...
00:21:14 it doesn't matter because it...
00:21:17 Hello, Lou, are you lost?
00:21:19 No. I'm not lost.
00:21:22 that the newly-formed
00:21:24 is meeting at the Russian Federation
00:21:28 We welcome your applications.
00:21:30 They will be judged
00:21:33 You're gonna judge our applications?
00:21:34 We're gonna apply to you
00:21:36 Comrade Chairman,
00:21:39 The motion has been made
00:21:41 we immediately constitute ourselves
00:21:44 and that we call ourselves
00:21:47 All those in favor,
00:21:50 Aye!
00:21:51 Opposed? Motion is carried.
00:21:55 Comrades! Comrades!
00:21:56 Comrades, this is the wrong time
00:22:00 We should be united in our struggle
00:22:03 You should have thought of that
00:22:05 If your people had stayed with us,
00:22:08 and we'd be in control
00:22:10 We have five times your membership!
00:22:12 Louis, your arithmetic's
00:22:14 We will be at the Russian Federation
00:22:18 I hope to see some of you there.
00:22:20 Comrade Chairman, I move we
00:22:22 to gain recognition by the Comintern
00:22:24 for the Communist Labor Party
00:22:26 - and that delegate be Jack Reed.
00:22:28 The motion has been made
00:22:31 to Moscow immediately
00:22:33 to obtain recognition of the Comintern
00:22:35 for the Communist Labor Party
00:22:37 All those in favor,
00:22:39 Aye!
00:22:40 Opposed? Motion is carried.
00:22:44 Since the first question
00:22:46 All right, thank you.
00:22:48 All right, comrades, since
00:22:50 by the Comintern is gonna be
00:22:53 I think I'm gonna have to be very clear
00:22:56 in relation to
00:22:58 I'm gonna have to say exactly
00:23:00 as opposed to any other group,
00:23:02 and I think we'll have to make it clear
00:23:04 and be very clear in the manifesto.
00:23:06 - Good luck in Moscow, Jack!
00:23:07 Well, I guess you boys think
00:23:24 Hello, Jessie.
00:23:28 Good girl.
00:23:32 - Hello.
00:24:11 Let me make it easy for you, Jack.
00:24:21 And if you go, I'm not sure I'll be here
00:24:26 Louise, you know, the Comintern
00:24:30 from the New York Yankees.
00:24:33 Somebody's got to go over there
00:24:39 We'd be back by Christmas.
00:24:45 We can't merge with Fraina.
00:24:47 We can't deal with him
00:24:49 He wouldn't accept half of our people.
00:24:51 The man is gonna do nothing
00:24:53 from any potential
00:24:56 He's sociologically isolated,
00:24:57 programmatically he's impossible
00:24:59 You mean he's a foreigner?
00:25:01 Don't do that, Louise.
00:25:03 Six months ago, you were friends.
00:25:04 These people can barely speak English.
00:25:06 They don't even want to be integrated
00:25:09 The Foreign Language Federations
00:25:11 in America any more
00:25:14 Being Russian
00:25:15 Do you think the American workers
00:25:17 are gonna be led
00:25:18 Or an insular Italian like Louis Fraina?
00:25:20 He has no possibility
00:25:23 Unlike you?
00:25:24 I'm just saying
00:25:26 is not gonna be led by immigrants.
00:25:28 Revolution? In this country?
00:25:32 Well, what do you think
00:25:34 if we'd been ready?
00:25:36 30,000 party members all armed
00:25:39 leading 365,000 steelworkers?
00:25:41 What it takes is leadership.
00:25:43 And we gotta get it
00:25:46 - I have to go.
00:25:47 You want to go. You want to go running
00:25:50 and making resolutions
00:25:53 What's the difference
00:25:55 and the Communist Labor Party
00:25:56 except that you're running one
00:25:58 - I've made a commitment.
00:26:01 To the fine distinction between
00:26:04 is recognized by Moscow as
00:26:08 To petty political squabbling between
00:26:11 just wasting their time
00:26:14 To getting the endorsement
00:26:16 you call the International
00:26:17 for your group of 14 intellectual friends
00:26:20 who are supposed to tell the workers
00:26:22 whether they want it or not?
00:26:32 Write, Jack.
00:26:35 You're not a politician, you're a writer.
00:26:38 And your writing has done more
00:26:39 than 20 years of this infighting can do,
00:26:43 You're an artist, Jack.
00:27:08 Don't go.
00:27:10 Don't run away
00:27:16 Jack.
00:27:27 I'll be back by Christmas.
00:27:55 I'm going into the city.
00:27:58 Tomorrow.
00:27:59 - I see.
00:28:03 Will you be here?
00:28:07 I don't know. I'll see you when I see you.
00:28:27 Here. Your passport and papers.
00:28:32 Go now!
00:29:18 Well, Mrs. Reed. Sit down.
00:29:22 What can I do for you?
00:29:24 Hello, Gene. How are you?
00:29:28 Fine. And you?
00:29:32 I'm fine.
00:29:46 Sit down.
00:29:53 - How's Jack?
00:29:57 - Is he?
00:29:58 He's trying to get recognition
00:30:00 for the Communist Labor Party.
00:30:02 You see, they've split
00:30:05 And you?
00:30:11 No.
00:30:12 Well, actually, yes,
00:30:15 I do a lot of lecturing
00:30:18 Ah, yes, Russia.
00:30:20 Russia's been good for you and Jack.
00:30:23 Given you a way to meet people,
00:30:29 Russia.
00:30:31 Russia.
00:30:33 Are you really that cynical,
00:30:35 I'm really that cynical.
00:30:38 Gene, if you'd been to Russia,
00:30:40 you'd never be cynical
00:30:42 You would have seen
00:30:45 Louise, something in me tightens when
00:30:50 and they start to talk to me
00:30:53 - Wait...
00:30:55 "A new version of Irish Catholicism
00:30:59 - It's not like that.
00:31:01 a lovely wife like Louise Reed
00:31:05 is sitting around
00:31:08 instead of trotting all over Russia
00:31:12 It's almost worth being converted.
00:31:19 Well, I was wrong to come.
00:31:22 You and Jack have a lot of
00:31:27 Jack dreams that he can hustle
00:31:30 whose one dream is to be rich enough
00:31:33 into a revolution led by his party.
00:31:36 And you dream that if you discuss
00:31:39 before you go to bed with him,
00:31:41 it'll be missionary work rather than sex.
00:31:44 I'm sorry to see you and Jack
00:31:47 It's particularly disappointing
00:31:50 You had a lighter touch
00:31:56 Boy, you've become quite the critic,
00:31:59 Just leaned back and analyzed us all.
00:32:02 Duplicitous women who tout free love
00:32:05 power-mad journalists
00:32:07 instead of observing it,
00:32:08 middle-class radicals
00:32:10 and then talk about Russia.
00:32:12 It must seem so contemptible
00:32:14 who has the courage to sit on his ass
00:32:17 from the inside of a bottle.
00:32:19 Well, I've never seen you
00:32:21 I've never seen you
00:32:23 so I can understand why you might
00:32:27 But whatever Jack's motives are, how...
00:32:31 I seem to have touched a wound.
00:32:35 You're a wounding son of a bitch,
00:32:37 and whatever I've done to you,
00:32:42 Louise.
00:33:12 Jessie!
00:33:14 Hey, Jess, come on! Come here, Jess.
00:33:17 Jessie, come here.
00:33:25 Jessie.
00:34:03 Jessie?
00:34:22 Jessie?
00:34:23 - Oh!
00:34:25 By the order of the Attorney General
00:34:27 A. Mitchell Palmer,
00:34:29 for the arrest of one John Silas Reed.
00:34:30 Look upstairs, Frank.
00:34:39 - Arrest for what?
00:34:42 - Where is he?
00:34:44 Lady, don't ask me.
00:34:47 Just tell me where he is.
00:34:54 I don't suppose there's a chance
00:34:55 of you being a Bolshevik agitator,
00:34:59 Why don't you just look around,
00:35:02 In 1919,
00:35:05 there were no more
00:35:07 than four or five Americans
00:35:11 who got into Russia
00:35:13 because the country was surrounded
00:35:18 You were actually forbidden to go,
00:35:22 It was very dangerous
00:35:25 Because the Finns
00:35:28 and they were bitterly opposed
00:35:31 They decided to strangle
00:35:33 the revolutionary Bolshevik infant
00:35:37 And 16 armies went into Russia
00:35:41 for the purpose
00:35:43 and wiping out the revolution
00:35:45 and restoring Christian civilization
00:36:15 Speak English.
00:36:17 Have a lemon.
00:36:19 Thank you. I just want to know
00:36:23 - in what I said about...
00:36:25 Salt?
00:36:28 - Salt?
00:36:30 Thank you.
00:36:33 I see you eat the peel with the lemon.
00:36:36 Fights the scurvy. So does the onion.
00:36:40 Together, they fight better.
00:36:45 You see, what I really wanted to do
00:36:47 was ask your frank opinion
00:36:50 You think we'll get the endorsement
00:36:53 - I ask unofficially, of course.
00:36:59 Unofficially, I don't know.
00:37:03 Yeah, well, it's such a...
00:37:05 It's a peculiarly American problem
00:37:09 - You do think I was clear?
00:37:12 In this case, however, clarity does not
00:37:16 Well, I don't know.
00:37:19 You know, in fact, I don't...
00:37:23 What I really want to do
00:37:26 for the Executive Committee to read
00:37:29 You see, I'd like to deal in that report
00:37:32 of the American Federation of Labor.
00:37:34 I'd like to deal
00:37:36 And I'm gonna talk
00:37:39 I'm gonna deal with the rise
00:37:42 and the capitulation
00:37:44 - I'm gonna... Am I speaking too quickly?
00:37:47 And so I will deal with
00:37:52 I'll talk about the general strikes
00:37:55 the Boston police strike.
00:37:57 I'm gonna discuss the Plumb Plan,
00:38:00 and the policies of the AF of L
00:38:03 Now, after that, I think it's important...
00:38:12 Comrade Reed, the Executive
00:38:15 has decided against endorsing
00:38:18 or the Communist Party of America,
00:38:20 and instructs the two parties
00:38:29 Sit here, Comrade Reed.
00:38:30 This time, your usual chair,
00:38:32 is now occupied by your detailed report
00:38:35 A most penetrating study.
00:38:38 Thank you.
00:38:40 Obviously, it wasn't clear enough.
00:38:43 Comrade Radek,
00:38:44 I think there must have been
00:38:47 about my travel arrangements
00:38:51 Well, it seems as if I've been asked
00:38:55 That is right.
00:38:56 Comrade Reed,
00:39:00 you are very much needed
00:39:03 We plan for you to remain
00:39:05 You're very welcome
00:39:07 Well, thank you very much,
00:39:09 but I thought that these
00:39:12 I have to get to the Latvian
00:39:14 And to which border would you suggest,
00:39:16 Well, I understand that train travel
00:39:19 Why does he need a train?
00:39:22 Because I have urgent personal
00:39:25 - in the United States and I...
00:39:28 - Excuse me?
00:39:34 - I have a family.
00:39:38 Well, I can speak only for myself
00:39:43 It's very urgent,
00:39:46 and I ask only
00:39:50 But you have a place on the train!
00:39:51 You have a place
00:39:53 You have been like so many others,
00:39:56 One of the engineers
00:39:58 that pulls this revolution
00:40:02 laid out for it by the party.
00:40:04 You can't leave us now.
00:40:06 - What right do you have you to leave...
00:40:07 To do what? To see your wife?
00:40:10 Last year at the International Congress
00:40:11 I learned that my son
00:40:13 I didn't go to see my son
00:40:15 because I knew I was needed
00:40:18 What you don't understand is...
00:40:19 Would you like to abandon this moment
00:40:22 Would you ever get this moment again?
00:40:23 - I am not abandoning the revolution!
00:40:26 People know and respect your work.
00:40:28 - You speak with authority of feeling.
00:40:31 for the past eight weeks,
00:40:33 I've been completely unable
00:40:36 or with my comrades
00:40:38 I need to go back. I would like your help.
00:40:40 Comrade Reed, you can always go back
00:40:44 so can I.
00:40:45 You can never, never come back
00:40:51 I'm sorry.
00:40:52 I have no right to tell you
00:40:54 You know it better than I do.
00:41:19 Maybe it was impossible
00:41:21 There was White armies all around,
00:41:24 so escape was not dreamt of.
00:42:23 We had a communication from Jack.
00:42:26 He was in prison in Finland
00:42:29 But he got word out to me
00:42:32 to take a message to Louise.
00:42:35 And I remember walking over to Louise,
00:42:38 I walked over to Louise's apartment
00:42:42 and spent an evening with her
00:42:45 and she talked very earnestly
00:43:01 Mrs. Reed, the United States
00:43:03 in the internal affairs of Finland.
00:43:05 Are you trying to tell me
00:43:07 - can't give you any information?
00:43:09 - that the State Department can do.
00:43:12 If his name were Rockefeller,
00:43:14 Mrs. Reed, if your husband's name
00:43:17 I think he would hardly be
00:43:19 for a conspiracy to overthrow
00:43:21 He has only one kidney.
00:43:24 That is a chance
00:43:27 when he left the United States
00:43:31 Good day, Mrs. Reed.
00:43:34 The United States
00:43:37 in military expeditions against
00:43:40 in an attempt to overcome them,
00:43:44 and set up another government.
00:43:47 There was a noose
00:43:49 to be pulled around Russia
00:43:52 which gave you an idea
00:43:57 can be surrounded
00:44:11 Your name,
00:44:31 Your name,
00:44:34 I don't know what color...
00:44:37 I'll just get it myself.
00:44:38 - Would you get some...
00:44:41 - Okay.
00:44:42 - All right.
00:44:44 From the top?
00:44:46 Oh, I see. Then they made a map.
00:44:49 Terry spoke to me.
00:44:50 Louise, I don't think you realize
00:44:54 You'd have to stow away.
00:44:55 If you got there at all,
00:44:58 Terry said that he thought that
00:45:00 - as far as Norway.
00:45:02 You know what I mean?
00:45:04 Sit down.
00:45:07 I want to talk to you about something.
00:45:11 ...indicates the map.
00:45:12 I could go.
00:45:14 I can sign on as a seaman.
00:45:17 I think under the circumstances...
00:45:23 Don't look at me like that.
00:45:26 I'm not gonna let
00:45:29 Just seemed to me
00:45:36 ...and at this point...
00:45:39 Okay.
00:45:40 Wasn't he supposed to come over
00:45:43 I'll talk to Terry in the morning.
00:45:45 Where the cross is made...
00:45:47 I wish these son-of-a-bitches could act.
00:46:35 Your blood pressure is very high.
00:46:38 They only give me
00:46:41 The blood in your mouth
00:46:44 You have scurvy.
00:46:48 An impressive shade of red, comrade.
00:46:56 Could you send a cable to my wife?
00:47:59 Mr. Reed, I have something for you.
00:48:06 - Is there a cable?
00:48:09 You should take one of these powders
00:48:14 Has she sent word to me here?
00:48:16 They won't say.
00:48:45 You are being released.
00:48:51 You know, I must tell you,
00:48:56 But what I heard was
00:48:58 the Bolsheviki traded
00:49:03 for the release of John Reed.
00:49:06 John Reed.
00:49:07 We are here to welcome you.
00:49:11 Could you take me
00:49:14 - Yes. Get in.
00:49:25 "Louise Bryant, Croton-on..."
00:49:29 Hudson.
00:49:30 "...Hudson, New York, USA.
00:49:33 "I'm safe. Stop."
00:49:35 "Please contact..."
00:49:37 Contact. Please contact.
00:49:39 "Contact Petrograd telegraph office.
00:49:42 "Have received no word from you. Stop.
00:49:45 "Please for... Forgive..."
00:49:49 Please forgive Christmas.
00:49:50 "Please forgive Christmas. Stop.
00:49:58 Could you send that right away?
00:50:03 Comrade Lenin said
00:50:06 he would trade,
00:50:12 "Louise Bryant, Croton-on-Hudson,
00:50:15 "New York, USA."
00:50:17 - USA.
00:50:20 - Immediate return...
00:50:22 - ... United States...
00:50:24 - ... impossible.
00:50:25 - Louise Bryant, Croton...
00:50:28 - "Croton-on..."
00:50:31 "Croton-on-Hudson, New York, USA.
00:50:35 "Still no word from you. Stop.
00:50:41 "Louise Bryant.
00:50:47 "Must know, are you well? Stop."
00:50:51 - "Do not..."
00:50:53 "Do not understand
00:50:59 "Louise Bryant.
00:51:04 - "Need..."
00:51:06 "Need word from you. Stop.
00:51:11 "Louise Bryant. Croton-on-Hudson,
00:51:14 - "New York, USA."
00:51:19 Yes. Yes.
00:51:20 And you checked R-E-l-D also?
00:51:21 I have looked R-E-l-D,
00:51:24 R-E-A-D,
00:51:26 R-E-D.
00:51:31 I'm just... Excuse me. One second.
00:51:34 Lf, if...
00:51:36 I thought maybe there's some other way
00:51:39 - You also looked under R-E-l-D?
00:51:43 - Yes, yes. What do you want?
00:51:48 - Excuse me.
00:51:56 What have you heard?
00:51:58 Not much. What have you heard?
00:52:00 I don't hear. I wait.
00:52:03 But they made Bill Shatoff
00:52:06 They treated me very well,
00:52:10 - Well, that's wise.
00:52:13 There are forests within easy reach
00:52:15 Why is this city freezing?
00:52:17 I asked Zinoviev.
00:52:18 He said our enemies have destroyed
00:52:21 and killed off our horses
00:52:22 How would we get at it?
00:52:23 I said, "What about
00:52:25 "They could go there together on foot
00:52:28 He said, "Oh, yes, it would make
00:52:29 "but it would interfere with the carrying
00:52:32 - You get letters from America, E. G?
00:52:35 All opened by the Justice Department.
00:52:39 So I asked him,
00:52:41 He said,
00:52:44 "of the proletarian avant-garde.
00:52:46 "The avant-garde of the revolution,
00:52:50 Anybody mention Louise?
00:52:53 I don't think so.
00:52:56 I've sent her cables,
00:52:59 - For how long?
00:53:03 Wait.
00:53:04 Rhys Williams
00:53:07 He hasn't heard from her, either.
00:53:09 What'd he say?
00:53:12 I think he said
00:53:15 sometime after Christmas,
00:53:22 How long ago was that?
00:53:24 Well, you know how these letters take
00:53:27 By the time I get them, whoever sent it
00:53:32 - That's it.
00:53:33 - There.
00:53:35 Oh.
00:53:38 - First the eyes go, then the legs.
00:53:41 Yeah, I don't understand
00:53:45 I don't know...
00:53:51 He says she seems to be out of town.
00:53:54 That's all he said?
00:53:57 Yeah.
00:53:59 What did he say about O'Neill?
00:54:01 O'Neill? Nothing.
00:54:03 Come on, what did he say?
00:54:06 Nothing.
00:54:07 Can I see it?
00:54:15 I'm sorry.
00:54:24 I just don't know where...
00:54:30 Jack, sit down.
00:54:44 If Louise were to come here,
00:54:46 she'd have to leave
00:54:49 then live in exile with you,
00:54:52 All for the sake of a revolution
00:54:55 Why should she?
00:54:58 You chose the life of a revolutionary.
00:55:00 She didn't.
00:55:02 Your cables only focus the
00:55:07 and the most seditious thing
00:55:10 is being your wife.
00:55:13 Leave her alone.
00:55:15 Let her choose her own future.
00:55:18 Why hasn't she answered me?
00:55:20 I think she has answered you.
00:57:38 He's been released.
00:58:04 Do you know, she was much hated
00:58:07 for her extravagance in clothes.
00:58:09 Well, a long time ago,
00:58:15 "People who...
00:58:16 "Women whose lives
00:58:19 "over a long period
00:58:23 Comrades, as wrong-headed
00:58:26 the IWW is a revolutionary union
00:58:29 and the American Federation of Labor
00:58:31 To think we can infiltrate
00:58:34 and convert it
00:58:36 Translation.
00:58:40 Comrades, that's the wrong translation.
00:58:51 That's not what he said.
00:58:53 What's he saying?
00:58:55 For us to make a point
00:58:57 we have to go
00:58:59 from our own English language
00:59:01 to the Italian, or Spanish,
00:59:04 - And then, when the response from...
00:59:08 Simply for the labor union issue,
00:59:11 could we have the English language
00:59:13 on the floor of the Congress?
00:59:17 Comrade Reed, this is the third time
00:59:21 The issue has been decided.
00:59:22 We must move on
00:59:29 Real revolutionary workers
00:59:32 quit the AF of L a long time ago
00:59:35 and joined the IWW.
00:59:37 We have to make
00:59:39 and that's why we want your support
00:59:42 to extend the session of congress
00:59:58 Jack, are you okay?
01:00:00 - Did you talk to Sadoul?
01:00:02 Comrades, I'm still opposed to closing
01:00:05 I think that this discussion
01:00:08 to avoid hearing the American
01:00:11 And if for no other reason than that,
01:00:13 it shows that discussion
01:00:16 Comrade Radek
01:00:18 in place of an argument and as a result,
01:00:21 What Reed says is not distinguished
01:00:26 He goes on day and night
01:00:28 that the discussion is being broken off
01:00:30 because of fear of the great might
01:00:49 Comrade Reed, you may have time
01:00:53 Other people do not have the time.
01:00:54 Comrade Radek, other people that
01:00:58 are 101 leaders of the IWW
01:01:01 who are in jail today
01:01:03 because of their revolutionary views.
01:01:05 And if we turn our back
01:01:08 out of some pipe dream to radicalize
01:01:12 which cannot be done, it is a disgrace.
01:01:13 We've discussed this
01:01:16 We spent whole day today discussing it,
01:01:17 and you insinuate
01:01:25 We haven't had enough discussion...
01:01:27 We haven't had enough discussion
01:01:30 to realize that Louis Fraina and I
01:01:33 Every American on our delegation,
01:01:35 - every man on the English delegation...
01:01:38 You are not
01:01:39 Comrade Zinoviev, I will not be
01:01:43 that has not had
01:01:46 On the fact...
01:01:55 The discussion is closed.
01:01:57 However, if Comrade Reed
01:01:59 he will have two minutes to do so.
01:02:02 I would merely want to say that
01:02:06 that we will refuse
01:02:08 and that I myself
01:03:18 Jack, I think we have to face it.
01:03:20 The dream that we had
01:03:23 If Bolshevism means
01:03:25 the workers taking the factories,
01:03:27 Russia's one place
01:03:30 You know, I can argue with cops,
01:03:34 I can't deal with a bureaucrat.
01:03:36 You think Zinoviev is nothing worse
01:03:39 The Soviets have no more
01:03:41 The central state has all the power.
01:03:43 All the power
01:03:45 and they are destroying the revolution.
01:03:47 They are destroying any hope
01:03:50 They're putting people like me in jail.
01:03:53 My understanding of revolution
01:03:55 is not a continual extermination
01:03:58 and I want no part of it.
01:04:01 Every single newspaper's
01:04:03 or taken over by the party.
01:04:05 Anyone even vaguely suspected
01:04:08 can be taken out and shot
01:04:11 Is any nightmare justifiable
01:04:14 in the name of defense
01:04:17 The dream may be dying in Russia,
01:04:19 It may take some time. I'm getting out.
01:04:22 You sound like you're a little confused
01:04:24 Up to now,
01:04:27 What did you think
01:04:28 A revolution by consensus
01:04:30 where we all sat down
01:04:32 Nothing works.
01:04:35 Four million people died last year.
01:04:37 Not from fighting a war,
01:04:38 they died from starvation and typhus
01:04:41 that suppresses
01:04:43 where nothing works.
01:04:44 They died because of a
01:04:46 that cut off
01:04:49 and because counter-revolutionaries
01:04:51 and the railroads and the telephones,
01:04:54 the poor, ignorant,
01:04:57 are trying to run things themselves,
01:05:00 but they don't know
01:05:02 Did you really think things would work
01:05:04 Did you really expect
01:05:06 to be anything other than
01:05:08 It's a war, E.G.,
01:05:11 with discipline,
01:05:13 or we just give it up.
01:05:16 Those four million people
01:05:18 They died from a system
01:05:30 It's just the beginning, E.G.
01:05:33 It's not happening
01:05:35 It's not happening
01:05:37 but it's happening.
01:05:43 If you walk out on it now,
01:05:45 what's your whole life meant?
01:05:52 Could you tell me if my resignation
01:05:55 - It is.
01:05:56 May I see it?
01:05:59 Thank you.
01:06:07 - Thank you, Comrade Reed.
01:06:10 Now you'll be able to represent
01:06:12 at the forthcoming congress at Baku
01:06:14 to inspire revolution among the peoples
01:06:17 Prepare for a difficult trip.
01:06:18 Our only route
01:07:01 Some of these intellectuals
01:07:05 that he changed his mind afterwards,
01:07:08 trying to, you know,
01:07:13 show that he came to his senses.
01:07:17 It's preposterous.
01:07:20 These men, well,
01:07:24 I don't want to remember them.
01:10:24 All trains to Baku canceled
01:10:27 by counter-revolutionaries.
01:10:28 There must be some train to Baku.
01:10:31 All trains to Baku canceled
01:10:33 because of attacks
01:10:36 There has to be something to Baku.
01:10:41 Louise?
01:10:46 Emma?
01:10:47 Emma.
01:10:49 Emma.
01:10:53 How in the name of God
01:10:58 - I had no idea how long it would take.
01:11:02 By the time you got there,
01:11:06 Go on in. Go on in.
01:11:07 Oh, I'm sorry.
01:11:09 It's all right. It's all right.
01:11:17 Here. Louise, sit down. Sit down.
01:11:30 I want to tell you something.
01:11:34 It's late, I know.
01:11:40 I want to thank you for that scarf.
01:11:43 Oh, yes.
01:11:46 I was wrong about you.
01:11:49 So was I.
01:11:52 The American oil companies
01:11:55 a world monopoly of oil.
01:11:59 In 1898, the Filipinos rebelled against
01:12:07 But after the Spaniards
01:12:29 The Americans have promised
01:12:32 Soon an independent Filipino republic
01:12:40 The government of United States
01:12:47 ...under a dictatorship
01:12:59 What's that for?
01:13:01 They are supporting you
01:13:03 of Islamic people against
01:13:27 Excuse me, Comrade Reed.
01:13:29 They said you are not happy
01:13:31 I did the German into Turkic
01:13:33 and Comrade Ossinsky
01:13:35 Russian?
01:13:38 Who turned it into Russian
01:13:40 Well, I don't know.
01:13:41 They were already in Russian
01:13:43 from the office of Comrade Zinoviev.
01:13:47 - I'm sorry for my English.
01:13:56 Zinoviev, did you do
01:14:00 I supervised it. Yes.
01:14:02 I didn't say "holy war."
01:14:05 I took a liberty
01:14:08 Yes, well, I don't allow people
01:14:12 Aren't you propagandist enough
01:14:15 I'm propagandist enough
01:14:17 And who defines this truth?
01:14:21 Is your life dedicated to speaking for...
01:14:23 You don't talk about what
01:14:25 Your life? You haven't resolved
01:14:27 You see yourself as an artist
01:14:31 As a lover to your wife, but also as a
01:14:33 Zinoviev, you don't think
01:14:35 and be true to the collective,
01:14:37 or speak for his own country
01:14:40 or love his wife
01:14:44 you don't have a self to give!
01:14:45 Would you ever be willing
01:14:47 When you separate a man
01:14:49 what you do is purge
01:14:51 And when you purge
01:14:53 - you purge dissent.
01:14:55 And when you purge dissent,
01:14:58 Revolution is dissent!
01:14:59 - Comrade Reed.
01:15:09 Comrade Reed, counter-revolutionaries!
01:15:12 Counter-revolutionaries,
01:17:49 Papa!
01:17:53 Papa!
01:20:06 Don't leave me.
01:20:10 Please don't leave me.
01:20:27 Comrade, the doctor
01:20:46 The doctor thinks
01:20:49 And a picture of his illness
01:20:52 And he wants you to know
01:20:53 that we shall do the best conditions
01:20:56 to prevent possibility
01:20:58 to cause a stroke.
01:21:15 I really... I know...
01:21:19 What?
01:21:21 How are you?
01:21:27 No.
01:21:29 Jack?
01:21:54 You know, I don't... I don't...
01:22:07 You hear it?
01:22:09 - Huh?
01:22:11 The water plays little songs.
01:22:31 It's not December, is it?
01:22:52 My, my, my, my.
01:23:06 God. What a time it was, huh?
01:23:25 - Want to come to New York with me?
01:23:28 I got a taxi waiting.
01:23:32 I wouldn't mind.
01:23:36 What as?
01:23:39 What as?
01:23:42 What as?
01:23:46 Gee, I don't know.
01:23:56 Comrades?
01:24:03 Comrades.
01:24:10 Well, I want to go home.
01:24:18 Yeah.
01:24:58 I'll get you some water.
01:26:43 Oh, God.
01:28:11 It was in the afternoon,
01:28:13 sometime in the fall, I think.
01:28:16 October, I think.
01:28:19 Somebody came to tell me
01:28:21 that Jack Reed died.
01:28:23 You can imagine how...
01:28:30 How I felt.
01:28:35 I'd forgotten all about them.
01:28:37 Were they socialists?
01:28:41 Many of them were idealists.
01:28:45 You know,
01:28:50 I don't know what the outside world
01:28:54 but they were a couple.
01:28:56 I mean, you always spoke
01:29:02 He was just a man in the prime of life.
01:29:06 I don't even know.
01:29:10 They probably didn't have any children,
01:29:13 he and Louise.
01:29:17 Again, you can't tell,
01:29:21 whether they will carry on
01:29:28 Why did he do it?
01:29:31 Well, it's impossible to say
01:29:34 why Edison invented,
01:29:35 or why Galli-Curci sang...
01:29:39 He was definitely a stirrer-up of people.
01:29:44 That was his field.
01:29:47 That's what he came to do, apparently.
01:29:51 He's well-known amongst a few,
01:29:56 They don't know who in heck he is.
01:30:00 I look for myself to die any day.
01:30:09 He was asked by Lenin,
01:30:12 He said, "Yes."
01:30:13 And Lenin said,
01:30:17 And Reed said, "Yes."
01:30:21 Of course,
01:30:26 Everybody wants to live.
01:30:31 I don't remember his exact words,
01:30:34 but the meaning was
01:30:37 that grand things are ahead,
01:30:43 worth living and worth dying for.
01:30:48 He himself said that.
