the parade is present and ready
for Your Royal Highness'inspection.
00:03:38Who is this gentleman?
00:03:39Captain George Brummell, sir.
00:03:40Oh, yes. Splendid go
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
17
The epaulets rather get in the way.
You don't approve of them?
Oh
Narrower epauletswould be more convenient.
00:03:55Better style too, sir.
00:03:57Have you any other criticism
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
24
- Fussy
Simplicity should be the keynoteof a soldier.
00:04:06Don't you think so, sir?
00:04:08Are you aware who designed
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
29
30
Get off parade!
Beau.
I want a word with you.
Come in here.
- Are you out of your mind- He asked my opinion.
00:04:49You're under arrest
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
37
the way our fat friend moves.
His Royal Highness' sizeis a very touchy subject, Beau.
00:04:59We're required to wear
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
41
42
a bit of the blubber.
The Prince of Walesdoesn't have to be reasonable.
00:05:10Precisely what's wrong
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
46
the way they are.
Yesyou'll be a full Colonel.
00:05:22Is that all you want
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
50
All heaven and earth.
A perfect grapeDizzy success and dizzy failure.
00:05:33And the zest of not knowing
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
54
smashing achievement.
Or a perfectlysmashing smash up.
00:05:41I'd rather have
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
58
and her three children.
Abscond withthe family bank account.
00:05:53- Mortimer?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
63
into town for a bit.
There's a lady I know hasa remarkable talent
00:06:01for reducing the size
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
67
the regimental dinner.
I was ordered to keep an eyeon you and I intend to do it.
00:06:14They're saying
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
71
he pulled mine.
Oha court-martial, sir.
00:06:24Oh, I hope not too. After all
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

pint of champagne
Royal turtle soup. Nosecond thoughts, nothing royal.
00:06:40Onion soup and very dry sherry.
00:07:28Lord Edwin is
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
82
83
of not marrying Edwin
has never reallyentered my head.
00:07:42Don't let it, my dear.
00:07:43Marriage is the only future
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
88
89
has a marked musical talent.
Wellinto it, didn't I?
00:08:18- Mmm, Edwin.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
94
would be done
if I were to giveCaptain Brummell a spanking
00:08:28and send him up
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
98
99
the sort that crawls readily.
He's proud and stiffas sealing wax.
00:08:38In that case, we shall apply
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
104
105
- Yes
At the age of seven
I got my brotherby the hair, Duke of York, you know
00:08:54and it took four footmen
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
111
may I present Captain Brummell?
- Mrs. Fitzherbert.- Humble servant, Madam.
00:09:08And Lady Patricia Belham.
00:09:11The Captain and I
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
117
ropes of pearls
I'm beginning to understand
why the army isirresistible, Captain.
00:09:25Then, perhaps you'll
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
123
124
you've taken a liberty
with His Royal Highness' guest.
Edwinpaid me a very pretty compliment.
00:09:41Well, if it was a compliment,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
129
good soldier
They tell me moreover that youdon't take kindly to discipline,
00:09:54that you're a gambler,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
133
134
a non-conformist.
Tell megain by knocking society about?
00:10:08In my idea, sir,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
138
139
of revolution
In AmericaIt's in the air.
00:10:20You're about to get a breath
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
143
The fall in is at midnight
Ohwe won't detain you, Captain.
00:10:29You've been very gracious, sir.
00:10:31Oh, one moment, Captain.
00:10:33I'm disposed to overlook
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
149
your opinion of my uniform.
I haven't
But since Your Royal Highnesshas indicated a desire
00:10:45to forget the matter
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
155
Captain.
An apology is offeredto one you have affronted.
00:10:58Seems to me that
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
159
permission to withdraw?
I have some packingto do before fall in.
00:11:07You can ignore
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
163
anywhere
I won't have youin my regiment!
00:11:17Get out!
00:11:21I have the honor to wish
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
168
169
I'm deeply grateful
for your understandingand forbearance.
00:11:36And to you, sir, my respects.
00:12:00You could still go
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
175
176
throw away a promising career?
I assure you thatthe size of a button
00:12:17or the length of an epaulet
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
182
your commission.
I never acquired a tastefor boot licking.
00:12:33- But he's the Prince of Wales.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
186
you're far too well-bred
but you thought itand you're quite right.
00:12:44My grandfather was a valet.
00:12:46My father was secretary
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
191
be very careful of your dignity
others aren't.You wouldn't understand this
00:12:57because your dignity has always
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
196
197
because you feel inferior.
But does it really make youless inferior to be rude?
00:13:17I expect it does. A bit.
00:13:21I'm sorry, I thought perhaps
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
202
203
any less inferior?
You've no ideawhat it made me feel.
00:13:39It won't be permanent, Captain.
00:13:56Hey, you'd better trot.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
208
included in your discharge
I'm touchedVery touched.
00:14:14But it won't do.
00:14:15I've no money, no position,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
214
butlering for you?
You were a miserablebarge rat, weren't you?
00:14:28if I wasn't, sir.
00:14:30A blinking, stinking lump
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
219
A gentleman's gentleman.
Without you I'lla fallen star.
00:14:43Very poetic.
00:14:44Well, take just
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
225
In me own sphere that is
Wellback on all that would you, sir?
00:15:03No, I couldn't do that, could I?
00:15:06Thank you, sir.
00:15:07Tea at the usual hour
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000

233
professional obligation
Your fatherwas one of the closest friends.
00:15:46A pity you squandered the
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
238
desirable marriage.
Mm-hmm. What's the other one?
Work. I spoketo a Mr. Cleagle at my bank.
00:16:05It's very decent of you, sir,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
243
that beggars can't be choosers.
Take a good look at this beggarMr. Thurlow.
00:16:18Thanks to my father's sacrifices
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
248
perfect character but there are
many in high places with muchfewer claims to perfection.
00:16:32You unfortunately
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
252
to accept obscurity.
I don't know what you proposeGeorge, but it may be some time
00:16:44before the world recognizes
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
256
Worlds of opportunity.
Where a man can go as faras his abilities will take him
00:16:55and no questions asked
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
260
261
262
Surely you will lend it to me.
Surely
You're a rash adventurerGeorge.
00:17:14I've given you good advice.
00:17:16If you won't take it,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
270
in proportion.
What're your viewson a wealthy wife, Mortimer?
00:17:37- Favorable, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
276
I have represented the people
of this borough in parliament.
Sidley.
Sir Ralph SidleyA great politician.
00:17:53His Royal Highness,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
282
283
that my views coincide
with those of so illustriousa gentleman.
00:18:06- The first gentleman of Europe.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
288
borough or the Prince of Wales?
I see no distinctionThe prince is a great liberal.
00:18:19He's certainly liberal
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
293
part of that symbol?
Apparentlya sporty gentleman, sir.
00:18:32Do you disapprove
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
297
5
although he's nota very active soldier.
00:18:45What I really object to
00:18:48is the way the prince
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
303
our colonies desert us
and our future kingdoes nothing.
00:19:10The candidate
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
307
308
of your observations
for the London Chronicle.
Certainly. My nameis George Bryan Brummell.
00:19:25And it is my opinion that if the
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
313
to reiterate it
there is to be a meeting tomorrownight in Green Grocer's Hall.
00:19:36Excuse me, sir, but I think you have
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
317
has our prince offered?
A foolishextravagant, outlandish one.
00:19:52- Aye, them's true words.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
321
copies him slavishly.
Even the army is requiredto powder,
00:20:06250,000 soldiers each using
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
325
three million loaves of bread.
Enough to keep 50in food for a year.
00:20:29No, no, Mr. Pitt. Upon my honor,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
330
to be mated like a prized bull.
I'm sorry Your Royal Highness
regards the matterwith such vileness.
00:20:44Oh, how would you wish me
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
335
Royal Highness cannot ignore.
Mr. Pittthese leeches are going to it
00:20:53like cannibals, it's sheer
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
339
And that will reduce the fat.
Ohjust so that my coat will fit.
00:21:04Get the little beasts off me.
00:21:05Going to Germany could be
00:21:06a pleasant experience,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
345
Confine yourself to that.
I amof the unfortunate circumstances
00:21:15which have formed
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
349
Mrs. Fitzherbert
Your friendship has become notorious.It be should be terminated.
00:21:25Mr. Pitt,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
353
of your royal father
OhHis Majesty's mind was capable
00:21:36of forming an opinion,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
357
358
and furnishing an heir.
It would do a great deal toanswer criticism.
00:21:49Listen to this, sir.
00:21:50"If the Prince of Wales is the
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
363
I threw him out of my regiment
and now he goes aboutslandering me at street corners.
00:22:01Have you summoned him, Edwin?
00:22:02Mr. Brummell will be here directly, sir.
00:22:04Mm, he's a bunder, sir and an
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
371
to increase your income.
If you were willingto arrange a marriage
00:22:19it would help us rally
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
375
my country demands of me?
I'm absolutely corneredlike a fox.
00:22:32I'll never hunt again.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
379
Send him in by all means.
Mr. Brummell.
Your Royal Highness.
Mr. Pittis Captain Brummell.
00:22:56Uh, Mr. Brummell now, sir.
00:22:58I understand, Mr. Brummell,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
387
388
389
joined the pack of dogs
that yap at my heels
I trust you find yourselfin congenial company.
00:23:22Your Royal Highness' interest
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
395
396
to restore your commission?
That remote possibilitynever occurred to me, sir.
00:23:40Oh, well, has it occurred to you that
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
401
constitutes sedition.
Damn itemploy a more direct approach.
00:23:55Thrash you here and now.
00:24:00I, I'm sure Your Royal Highness
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
406
from striking back.
It's a devilish pity that youdon't show as much consideration
00:24:15when my back is turned.
00:24:16As an Englishman, I would hesitate
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
411
Mr. Brummell.
You can do
I have to do exactlyas I'm told.
00:24:31You are the Prince of Wales, sir.
00:24:33The future sovereign.
00:24:35You should tell others
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
418
I do not respect
Leadership? But I'm a prisonera captive.
00:24:46I can't even love
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
422
of a woman I've never even met.
Yesyou very happy, Mr. Brummell.
00:24:58Your Royal Highness
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
426
427
the Newmarket races on Saturday
and I believe Your Royal Highnesshas horse a running.
00:25:09Mr. Brummell, a prince is not
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
431
an enchanting lady.
Damn ittrying to torment me?
00:25:20Yes.
00:25:24If I can arouse
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
436
437
- Yes.
If he had lived by yourdoctrine, he would still be
00:25:36an obscure leftenant
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
441
talk further.
Come with me.
A-a-h.Cold as an Eskimo's bottom.
00:25:55Cold as a penguin's
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
447
448
into the bargain.
You go about abusing metearing me to bits and yet today
00:26:10you've been most understanding.
00:26:12Your position is a very
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
453
of the day was mapped out for me.
Tutors like drill sergeants.
Bishops lecturing me on moralsand duties three times a day.
00:26:28My allowance, half a crown,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
459
that one day I shall be king.
That day may not be so veryfar off, Mr. Brummell.
00:26:43There is a persistent rumor that
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
463
controls the purse strings.
Mr. Pitt controls Parliament.It is intolerable, sir.
00:26:55Very degrading, sir.
00:26:57I can't appeal to His Majesty.
00:26:59No one's allowed to see him,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
469
470
that will do.
It would bemost natural, sir.
00:27:09A dutiful son's
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
474
to loosen the purse strings
rather than have sucha demand made public.
00:27:23Mr. Brummell, you fascinate me.
00:27:29When are you going
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
479
to go to Germany.
Noat Newmarket on Saturday.
00:27:45Give him the whip, Sam.
00:27:51What a perfectly magnificent
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
484
George. You brought me luck.
And I have won 400 poundson your horse, sir.
00:28:03He's a financial wizard.
00:28:04You know, he even found a way
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
489
Mr. Brummell.
Whyto go over to see Sam Chifney.
00:28:13Thank you very much,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
493
the gentlemen's conversation.
I'll sit here and sun myself.
- Oh- Yes, sir.
00:28:24- A very fine race, Your Highness.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
498
of one of your poems.
But paid much better I fear.
Ohthis is Lord Byron.
00:28:40Brummell, that name is familiar.
00:28:42Oh, yes, he's been attacking me
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
504
out of powdering my hair.
Powdering is one of society'smore ridiculous affectations.
00:28:52His Royal Highness expressed
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
508
509
a gentleman's only affectations
should be a complete lackof affectation.
00:29:04- Did I say--oh, yes.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
513
514
it for the world
Splendid run
Mr. Brummell.Very exciting day.
00:29:16I'm glad the prince
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
519
about advising a prince.
Can be very damaging.
Very good of youto warn me, sir.
00:29:27I hear that the next race
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
525
526
you're not wearing earrings anymore.
The wind gives your earsall the color they need.
00:29:46It's amazing how quickly
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
530
on either side.
But I'd like the opportunity ofapologizing to you for our last meeting.
00:29:59May I call on you one day?
00:30:02That won't be necessary.
00:30:03Ah, charmed, Lady Patricia.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
536
- Like a piece of sculpture
If you'll excuse me
Mr. Silva's herewith another harp.
00:30:27- He wants to talk--
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
541
- Mr. Silva wants his money
I tried to brush himbut he wouldn't brush.
00:30:38I detect a slight imperfection
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
546
that in a jiffy.
Now
Haste is the enemyof perfection.
00:30:52Looks like a Chinese opium den.
00:30:55Have you ever been in a Chinese
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
552
rather mundane taste.
Mr. Silvafor a Baldore harp.
00:31:08Listen to it.
00:31:10Do you think His Royal Highness
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
558
impossible now
But I can change the harpwithin the hour, Mr. Brummell.
00:31:20You already had considerably more
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
562
what Mr. Brummell said?
- That has to be got out of here.- Oh, Mr. Silva.
00:31:31Mortimer tells me that
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
566
of the account
Ohand I'll pay it at the end of the year
00:31:42when I settle all my accounts.
00:31:44Very good, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
573
reckoning sometime
The secret of lifeis to postpone it
00:31:59as long as possible.
00:32:13Mr. George Bryan Brummell.
00:32:23Upon my honor.
00:32:30- Your Royal Highness.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
580
581
- Mr. Brummell.
Lady Patriciato ornament your sex.
00:32:46With Your Royal Highness'
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
585
the congratulations should
go to the nation.
To youthis miniscule token
00:32:57of my respect and affection.
00:32:58Oh, that's good of you, George.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
592
593
damn me if you're not.
- The mixture is my own- Oh.
00:33:19It's excellent!
00:33:21It's a devilish fine idea
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
598
that you approve
He had certain misgivings.
Chimney pipe trousershe called them.
00:33:35Now, let's all have an
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
604
605
that Mr. Pitt is in attendance.
I fully expected him to be ill.
He's not ready to riska breach with me.
00:33:54He chose the lesser
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
513
no disrespect towards you.
You cannot command people'sthoughts, my dear.
00:34:07With Your Lordship's permission
00:34:09will you honor me,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
616
to Mr. Brummell this time.
I'm sure he dancesmuch better than I.
00:34:18I don't know, but I dance much
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
620
extraordinary man.
I'm sure Mr. Brummellshares that opinion.
00:34:32Obviously you don't.
00:34:33I never form an opinion without
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
626
of this country.
A whole new era is dawning.
An era of power loomsand iron works.
00:34:48A smoke-stained,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
632
633
that I wasn't wearing them.
Wellyou valued my opinion.
00:35:08But tonight you knew that you'd
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
637
you tolerate the least
You're quite right.
You could only be sure of thosewho either love or hate you.
00:35:21Are there those that hate you?
00:35:23Oh, yes. Mr. Pitt for one.
00:35:26- He seemed most gracious.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
644
a fairly large net.
Of courseLord Mercer to help him.
00:35:39Why do you think
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
651
652
that you kissed me once.
Apparentlyhave no secrets.
00:35:58Not very romantic.
00:35:59On the contrary.
00:36:02Have tea with me tomorrow.
00:36:05Please.
00:36:08I'm engaged tomorrow
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
661
662
said enough.
Georgein. May I forget my diet tonight?
00:36:26If you promise
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
667
668
will make a wish
- we'll all blow out the candles.- By all means.
00:36:53I've made my wish, George.
00:36:56One, two, three.
00:37:01The address is
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
676
677
678
679
- Not really
My ancestors weren'tas enterprising as yours.
00:37:44Well, before I met you,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
683
myself
that others will do likewise.
I'm very grateful.
Do you really like me?
Very much
You may have yourcommission back, George.
00:38:08You can go back to your regiment
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
691
for military career.
I'm glad.Do you know why?
00:38:18'Cause if you went back to the army
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
695
be selfish
I have a lot to gainfrom your friendship.
00:38:33Hope you do gain a great deal.
00:38:35I'll see to it that you do.
00:38:37Well, George
00:38:38all my life I've been
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
703
704
of that friendship
I wish I could beassured of eternity.
00:39:00Well, it's late.
00:39:03We might both be better
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
711
712
George.
Which dressing gown
What color seatsdo we have tonight?
00:39:48- Forest green, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
717
to your attention again
Bills for furnituresilver, everything.
00:40:01Oh, the total's a crusher.
00:40:02I mentioned that you've been
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
722
723
we're to the good
Are we to the good?
Wellthe club and the races, sir.
00:40:15There are a few things
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
728
one day in a debtors' prison.
Ahwe shall have to take.
00:40:26I made rather a good thing
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
732
733
than I need him.
Odd time for anyoneto come calling, sir.
00:40:56- Is Mr. Brummell in?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
737
of loveliness.
You're an angel of mercyLady Patricia.
00:41:21I'm not an angel,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
741
742
all sorts of excuses
for coming here tonight but
they all seemedsilly and obvious.
00:41:42Well, let's say that you
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
747
748
749
but rather unpatriotic.
WellFrench drawing rooms
00:42:02there might be fewer
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
753
in your war with the prince.
I detect a note of disapproval.
- Yes.- Why?
00:42:17When you attacked the prince,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
759
760
761
of your morality.
My principles are the same.
It's the prince that's changed.
Give him a chanceand he'll make
00:42:35a most enlightened
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
768
as the weather vane.
Strong windwill keep him steady.
00:42:54You?
00:42:57Strong wind usually ends
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
773
774
775
running cliffs.
Thousand maniacs are screaming.
You have every chanceof drowning.
00:43:14But if you ride it through,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
780
781
substantial career.
Noif you don't have any
00:43:31money or position.
00:43:33I should have known better than
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
786
man until after they're married.
Let me show youthe rest of the home.
00:43:54The bedroom is there.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
791
are those who think
there is security anywhere.
This ismy contemplation room.
00:44:08In here I mull things over.
00:44:10Ideas, thoughts, dreams.
00:44:13I contemplate life,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
801
802
the embers of memory.
It hurt you terribly to loseyour commission, didn't it?
00:44:37I admit to a certain twinge
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
809
810
811
tell our grandchildren.
How you came to my houseone night and never left.
00:45:14I believe you mean what you say.
00:45:16I would never abuse this room
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
817
818
819
to put you
out of my thoughts and I will.
I don't want to livein a hurricane
00:45:41I want a secure, quiet bay.
00:45:44I could never be happy knowing
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
825
826
- sir?
When the lady arrivedtake careful note of her eyes?
00:46:25One could not avoid it, sir.
00:46:27Quite. What color would
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
831
the day time a deep blue.
I must havethe contemplation room
00:46:40done over in that exact shade.
00:46:42I expect she'll be
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
839
840
841
842
around to them all.
Don't you find that sad
I find it very difficult to besad about anything, sir.
00:47:21- My bachelor days are numbered.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
847
848
that kind of things.
Splendid
Stop the carriage.
Dance
Darnwhat's the idea?
00:47:52I think they'd dance better
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
855
for his love of animals.
I'd like you to acceptthese little chaps.
00:48:10That's very nice of you, uh, I
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
859
bless their little hearts.
You knowcome away without my purse.
00:48:20Oh, Edwin, pay for them,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
863
864
do you intend to call yours?
The way his ribs stick outBonaparte might be a good idea, don't you?
00:48:30Bonaparte?
00:48:32Bone apart!
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
870
interrupting your happy news.
But I don't like to seeanimals mistreated.
00:48:49I understand perfectly.
00:48:52We ought to celebrate
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
875
permission
I'd rather not mentionit at the club.
00:48:59Patricia wishes the announcement
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
879
- I haven't been invited
Didn't you go throughthe list that was sent me?
00:49:09Oh, don't worry, sir. I've arranged
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
884
to have Mr. Brummell
Ah
I have a new member I wishto propose to this club.
00:49:27Mr. George Bryan Brummell.
00:49:29With your gracious permission,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
890
891
Well
Lord Edwin Mercer here will signonce and I shall sign twice.
00:49:40Once as the Duke of Cornwall,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
895
Please go on with your playing.
St. Clairof champagne, please, the best.
00:49:52It's a rather special occasion.
00:49:54And I'd like some food
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
900
is excellent.
Yesa couple of bowls of that, won't we?
00:50:02Good day, Mr. Brummell.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
904
Mr. George Brummell.
Lord Alvanleyyou know Lord Byron,
00:50:13Lord Mindon.
00:50:16I don't wish to meet
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
909
- Your Royal Highness.
You seem to objectto Mr. Brummell, milord?
00:50:25I meant no offence to you, sir.
00:50:28But surely Your Royal Highness
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
916
917
His Royal Highness
prevents my demandingsatisfaction from you now, sir.
00:50:43I hope you don't intend
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
921
Your Royal Highness' dog.
Ohdown there, will you?
00:50:54Josephine's absolutely famished.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
926
before Mr. Brummell's.
- Done.- I'll take a piece of that.
00:51:04Very well.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
930
931
Mr. Pitt
for an empire's presence shouldconcern himself with my future?
00:51:29I was wondering where your very
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
935
936
Legal immunity for example.
An M.P. cannotbe prosecuted for debt.
00:51:42Well, luckily my credit
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
940
it leads to definite rewards.
- If one is loyal to the party.- Naturally.
00:51:51I'm afraid that party
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
945
to advise him to break off
with a certain charming widow.
You seewithout the king's consent.
00:52:02It would be contrary
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
951
in mind
what do you suggest?
A new government.
One capable of negotiatingoutside the bedroom.
00:52:21George, your little beast
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
957
958
frightfully knocked about.
These were the thinnestcranky little beasts you ever saw.
00:52:38French dogs. Now, bones sticking
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
962
963
Bone apart
Ah! Hello
Good morningYour Royal Highness.
00:53:03Good morning, Mr. Brummell.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
969
970
George
What a charming idea. A coatto match yours. Does he hunt?
00:53:17No, but he dances beautifully.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
974
975
just as we were leaving.
Splendid!Congratulations, Napoleon.
00:53:28Mr. Brummell, you designed
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
981
eyes open early in the morning.
Mr. Brummellbreakfast. What would you like?
00:53:44I'm sure you'll make
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
985
I've had nothing but coffee.
Perfect agony.Upon my honor.
00:53:53Well, with a long ride
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
989
- I wish you would.
I feel faint.
You can't run away fromyourself, it's foolish to try.
00:54:10Bacon, Mr. Brummell?
00:54:11Think you can hide behind
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
995
a kind emotion.
Quite sure that your feelingsfor Edwin are very warm
00:54:23at the moment,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
999
disaster for me?
I sayI'm absolutely famished.
00:54:35- Ah! Good of you, George.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1003
one of the more difficult arts.
Difficult? Repulsive.
By George
By Georgeyou've shown character.
00:54:51George.
00:54:57Oh, George, I feel
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1010
1011
1012
but I've got a great many debts.
But this morning I want to talkabout one particular debt
00:55:17which I owed one particular
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1016
up to the hilt.
It's even rare for a princeto meet such a man.
00:55:30And I count it one of the
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1020
very deep affection for you.
I wish you to accept this gift.
As you see it is notyet inscribed.
00:55:51But when I've
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1025
laws of nations and of nature
have decreed that one dayI shall be king.
00:56:07Well, I hope I shall be
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1035
1036
1037
I thank you
for the Earldom you promiseto bestow on me.
00:56:50For sincere and unselfish
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1042
for wishing.
I trust that His Royal Highnesswill take
00:57:09very great care of himself.
00:57:11If no disaster befalls him
00:57:14no disaster
00:57:16will befall any of us.
00:57:19I give you
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1051
will forgive me.
He was going to makethis announcement tonight.
00:57:41But I think that now is
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1055
wish for an untroubled future.
We plan to stay in a happyand secure bay.
00:57:56And avoid the storms of life.
00:58:00Then I suggest we drink
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1061
1062
His Royal Highness' approval
that we be mountedand get on our way.
00:58:20By all means.
00:58:23Oh, this is wonderful.
00:58:30...Patricia,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1070
shall we away?
Prinny dear.
This seems to be the hourfor making announcements.
00:58:58I was thinking I might
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1076
it's just that everybody else
is happy and you're notbut you will be.
00:59:19I pledge it, there's no need
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1081
1082
I won't allow it.
I'm sorry.
Shall we go?
We'll pretend the foxis Mr. Pitt.
00:59:54It's a losing battle, Patricia,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1088
1089
1090
something you knew was wrong?
Even though it would hurt you?
Once when I was a small boy
a large spiced cake.
- Did you try?- Of course.
01:00:21It made me frightfully ill.
01:01:02Tallyho!
01:01:03Tallyho!
01:01:05- Is Mr. Pitt, alright?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1101
soak the leg in brine.
Very good
Good day's workvery good.
01:03:17Jayka took it into
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1106
you got there.
I hope it blendswith the color of my coat.
01:03:33We'll wait what is known
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1112
to believe what I tell you.
It's over.
I promise I'll neversee him again.
01:04:52- I wish to see Mr. Brummell.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1117
Mr. Brummell that I want
10on account immediately.
01:05:02I will put up with no more
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1121
1122
Your Royal Highness.
George
I'm absolutely distraughtGeorge, the most awful thing.
01:05:15I've been up since dawn
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1127
Brandy
MortimerCome with me.
01:05:31She's leaving me George.
01:05:33Maria is going.
01:05:36I don't want to live
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1134
1135
1136
- Come and sit down.
Don't talk if you don'tfeel like it, just rest.
01:06:02These came for you
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1141
I'd blame her really.
People whisperingabout her, slandering her.
01:06:28They said this would ruin my life,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1145
poor
I understand completely
Not only becauseof my affection for you.
01:06:43But because I'm in
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1152
1153
the solid
I am the uncertaindangerous future.
01:07:07The female yearns
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1161
1162
I'm going to give up the throne.
Let Freddie have it.
What use is the thronewithout the one you love?
01:07:27I'll end up as mad as my father.
01:07:29You won't solve anything
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1168
but the truth to you.
And I intend to speak it now.
There is a way for youto keep the throne
01:07:40and the woman you love if
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1174
not from any sense of decency
but because Mr. Pittmaintains the fiction
01:07:54that there is a king and thereby
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1178
all the powers of king
including that of marryingwhom you please.
01:08:10How could I?
01:08:12Take Dr. Warren to Windsor.
01:08:14Ask him to certify
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1184
just to tell the truth.
But it will kill my father.
Your father won't be awareof what's happening.
01:08:25That's true, he talks to trees,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1189
And if you continue to allow it
you'll never rule andyou'll never be fit to rule.
01:08:46You'll come with me George,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1193
I distinctly heard music.
Possibly he's retired.
It might be better if Your Royal Highnesswould see him in the morning.
01:09:39- I will see His Majesty now.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1198
for a son to be concerned
about the conditionof his father?
01:09:50Perhaps in the circumstances
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1202
you're addressing.
I beg yourRoyal Highness' pardon.
01:09:57Restrain your effrontery
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1206
1207
the Prince of Wales
and several othergentlemen are here.
01:10:39Take a note to them.
01:10:41Sire, I have neither paper
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1216
that I've gone to my bed.
He mustn't pout.Affairs of state, you know.
01:11:15Sire, his Royal Highness,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1221
Now women can be honest again.
Sire
You certain?
He's my sonyou know?
01:11:28He was such a
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1227
1228
1229
1230
see a prince?
Oh yes. Of course...the throne room.
01:12:06I'm going mad. I wish to God
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1234
from my brain
and make me well again.
Grant this one boonand I'll ask no more.
01:12:25Allow me to see
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1239
1240
1241
1242
1243
a man's part of his father.
If I degrade himI degrade myself.
01:12:50Very well, wait here.
01:13:08Sire.
01:13:11These gentlemen are aware
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1249
616
Doctor Warren.
Your Majestyat the insistence
01:13:31of his Royal Highness,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1254
1255
will be pleased
to learn of YourMajesty's recovery.
01:13:50- Will he?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1259
you know?
Always did burn the midnightoil but never over books.
01:14:01Slander has reached
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1263
by the sons he bears.
I've had 9 sonsand been blessed once.
01:14:15Fredrick is a good son.
01:14:17Gentlemen, we must not tire
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1268
1269
such
his Royal Highnesswould wish to see it.
01:14:33Your Royal Highness need have
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1274
1207
believe me
how very happy I amto see him so recovered.
01:15:08This is not my son.
01:15:15Fredrick is my son!
01:15:19Your Majesty, this is His Royal
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1281
you wish me dead.
- You want to kill me?- No.
01:15:29But you're
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1287
- Yes
Parliament must have votedon my regency by now.
01:16:16I wonder what's keeping
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1291
the order of the boot.
Your Royal Highness' touchhas improved.
01:16:28You have the hands
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1295
Maria noticed about me.
She cannot abide menwith ugly hands.
01:16:35She loved mine.
01:16:37Blessed little minx,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1300
on Friday night.
Ahis organizing a gala
01:16:49to celebrate my Regency.
01:16:52Will you be bringing Patricia,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1306
a little indisposed.
Nothing serious
I'm sureno further complications.
01:17:07Your Royal Highness,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1313
I've asked Mr. Fox and Mr. Burke
to accompany me asrepresentatives of the opposition.
01:17:24Remnants of opposition, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1317
1318
restricting you
Our arguments were quitein vain.
01:17:36The house was adamant.
01:17:38Mr. Pitt was adamant.
01:17:39So you wish to tie my hands,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1324
or pensions.
After allmight recover...
01:17:48and not approve of some
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1328
no further limitations
In all fairness
apart fromthe matters mentioned
01:18:00your power
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1333
1334
Is that clear?
If you acceptany limitations
01:18:12you accept the principle
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1338
I won't be a puppet!
You seeof the terms of a Regency.
01:18:26It's a question of who rules.
01:18:27- You or...Mr. Pitt?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1343
or Parliament rules.
Don't quibble
You are Parliamentdecline to become your creature.
01:18:39Go back to your Commons.
01:18:41Tell them
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1349
your message
when the House sits again.
Isn't it sitting now?
Mr. PittHouse to recess for a few days.
01:18:55Naturally, it carried.
01:18:58Why should the House recess
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1356
is much improved.
He's to be examined againby a medical commission.
01:19:07Till then, I think
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1363
so poorly advised.
- Get out!- Your Royal Highness.
01:19:22Get out!
01:19:28Mr. Pitt has tricked me.
01:19:29He's gonna have my father
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1371
1372
I shall marry her.
Law or no lawI shall marry--
01:19:42I shall marry her secretly
01:19:44and you must go and tell her,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1378
simply to sit on a throne?
If she really loves youshe won't let you do anything else.
01:19:55I can't give her up.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1382
badly
All this talk about fightingfor principles.
01:20:06Standing up to Pitt.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1386
thinking only of yourself.
Your only interestis to be an Earl?
01:20:17Your Royal Highness
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1391
ex-officer
into a gentleman of property.
It seems you're going to inherit morethan just a crown from your father.
01:20:36You're raving like a lunatic.
01:20:40How dare you?
01:20:42How dare you say that?
01:20:45Retract that, George.
01:20:47If you do not,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1400
1401
1402
1403
1404
1405
1406
1407
of blue.
Yes.
We've missed you at the Hazard Table.You were having quite a run of luck.
01:21:43It ran out.
01:21:46They're saying at the club
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1413
publicly tomorrow.
I didn't haveany doubt about it.
01:21:56You didn't?
01:21:57Not about
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1418
1419
1420
to suppose I wouldn't?
I've seen the Prince.
- Oh.- He sent for me.
01:22:14He didn't tell me
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1425
seem to be unimpaired
why didn't he tell me sohimself?
01:22:23After all, he is
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1430
of superior intellect
is their pride.
And a proud man can bejust as foolish as a fool.
01:22:41You should know better, than to
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1437
1438
my dear friend.
I'll be there.
His Royal HighnessThe Prince of Wales.
01:23:36George is here.
01:23:37So I see.
01:23:41Good evening.
01:23:44I see you're having trouble
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1446
to my tailor about it.
You didn't tell me Mr. Brummellwould be here tonight.
01:23:55Good evening, Lady Patricia.
01:23:56Patricia, Edwin,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1451
1452
and I refused.
I returned his letters unopened.
Even if I'd knownhe'd be here tonight I...
01:24:14still would have come.
01:24:24See, there's something devilish
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1460
1461
among his creditors.
MamaMr. Brummell?
01:24:41My mother, the Countess
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
616
in it
Mr. Brummellwould be charmed
01:24:50if you would take tea
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1469
1470
1471
the first move.
It'll not be me
At least you mightmeet him halfway.
01:25:12The blame was all his,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1476
1477
- Evening
Mrs. Fitzherberthow brilliant an occasion
01:25:40it's made more brilliant
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1481
of
There's more promising newsout of the continent, tonight.
01:25:57Gordy.
01:25:58I hadn't heard, sir.
01:25:59Yeah, peace with the French.
01:26:01Almost certainly, they're at
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1488
permanent peace with Napoleon?
Possibly not.
Still...certainly worth trying.
Wella chance to stock some French wine.
01:26:19If there's the slightest
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1495
with impoverished upstarts.
Too stupid to knowwhat's good for them.
01:26:40Gordy, who's your fat friend?
01:26:51Shall we dance, Maria?
01:26:53George, you can't
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1501
1502
1503
about being a cripple
is not having to dance.
One of the nice thingsabout this world, Gordy
01:27:26is your presence in it.
01:28:02Mortimer...you must tell
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1509
or a spoon.
They'll be back soon enoughSir. With writs and bailiffs.
01:28:14Perhaps you could
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1514
1515
from a cold game.
Well
But I did teach society to washit's hair and wear clean linen.
01:28:31I'm not at all sure
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1523
Your namesake.
Come in.
Sirsir.
01:28:52Lady Patricia Belham.
01:28:56Thank you.
01:29:02I'm glad she came, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1530
1531
Wrong even about myself.
But never about you.
You know me even betterthan I did.
01:29:33I'll never leave you again.
01:29:34Well, I wish it could
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1537
in a debtor's prison.
I shall refuseto let them take you.
01:29:44A wealthy wife to gratify my old
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1542
if I became a lap-dog.
- And I'd despise myself.- I could never despise you.
01:29:58I thought I did once,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1548
them
you stay with Edwin.
Stay safe and secure.
Ohwords and arguments and logic?
01:30:17I know, I tried them.
01:30:19I convinced myself,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1559
1560
You saw what happened.
Possibly
And I can't stay in this--in this country anymore.
01:30:53So, I'm going away.
01:30:57I must.
01:31:00Take me with you, please.
01:31:02I must be alone for a time.
01:31:05Where will you go?
01:31:07I don't know.
01:31:09You'll be back soon?
01:31:10Soon.
01:31:16I'll wait.
01:31:18I won't be alive
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1577
accompanying you
Noand you won't either,
01:32:17if you know what's good for you.
01:32:18I do, sir.
01:32:23By the way, have we any money?
01:32:26- 14 shillings, sir.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1584
as far as Callais.
Bonaparte...you're going home.
Lord Edwin Mercer.
Oh
- You're fit- Very fit, sir.
01:33:39- And Patricia?
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1592
of her these days.
That's what life's like.
Time passes and one sees theleast of those who matter most.
01:33:56Oh Edwin, my ministers
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1597
1598
1599
1600
1601
what you thought of it.
Sir.
Edwinone other matter.
01:34:21Yes, sir?
01:34:22Uh, I've had some
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1607
condition
A bit of a financial fix.Won't accept any help.
01:34:37I wish there was something
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1612
1613
1614
to creep in
I didn't wishto disturb the house.
01:35:23Don't worry about your rent.
01:35:24You'll receive it, presently.
01:35:26Mr. Brummell is
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1620
1621
to be
will still be welcome.
Thank you
Is Mr. Brummell feelingany better, today?
01:35:43A bit better, I think.
01:35:44I'm going to make
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1630
Grand!
Wellyou approve, Mr. Mclver.
01:36:29Approve?
01:36:30In all my days, as a publisher
01:36:31I've never read anything,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1636
uh
Uhof George Bryan Brummell.
01:36:42- It'll sell better.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1640
light of love
Oh-hoVery spicy!
01:36:53We'll open the lid there, you
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1644
1645
1646
1647
philosophy of Parliament
versus the divine rightsof kings.
01:37:07Oh, very good, very good!
01:37:09But there's a great
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1652
in the royal closets.
That's what'll interestthe public.
01:37:21Apparently, a man can get
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1657
1658
1659
to be sure.
Can you affordsuch expensive gallantry
01:37:39to protect His Majesty?
01:37:42His Majesty was my friend.
01:37:44So was Mrs. Fitzherbert.
01:37:46Wherever she is,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1670
a cold
In my last trip to Paristhey put me in a carriage
01:38:02with a damp stranger.
01:38:03It's no slight cold.
01:38:05I know what you've got,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1676
Mr. Brummell
before it's too late.
Don't be melodramatic
Very well.
I'll be business-likeMr. Brummell.
01:38:18I advanced you several hundred pounds.
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1683
1684
1685
not yours. Let it burn.
You've just committeda felony, Mr. Brummell.
01:38:39I'll make it up to you, Mclver.
01:38:41I've just written a poem,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1690
1691
1692
1693
for a week
Let me get Dr. Dubois
Nowould be the end of me.
01:39:15That very sore man
01:39:17who missed his calling
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1699
1700
1701
to Calais
On his tour of Europe.
Here?
If His Majesty should try andget in touch with me, Mortimer,
01:39:43you may say
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1708
1709
1710
not to get out of bed.
I--I just stepped outto get some writing paper.
01:41:11But this crowd here--
01:41:12Please, sir.
01:41:15Your most gracious Majesty.
01:41:17It's not only in the name
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1717
1718
a great moment of history.
You happen to know whether...
George Brummellstill lives here?
01:41:58I don't, sir.
01:41:59Do you wish me
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1724
1725
1726
1727
to it
He always was a proud man.Too proud.
01:42:16Man of great convictions, but...
01:42:19very reckless.
01:42:22Tell him to drive on,
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1733
1734
1735
1736
1737
1738
1739
rooms
- Yes- Thank you.
01:43:37Sire, this is the place.
01:43:49Mr. Brummell here?
01:43:52He's--he's very ill, sir.
01:44:01I must see him.
01:44:07Your Majesty.
01:44:09I beg your pardon.
01:44:10Mr. Brummell's condition
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1750
another doctor.
Whatever Your Majesty wishesof course.
01:44:24But regardless of what
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1754
before morning.
- Your Majesty--- No, no, no.
01:45:12Your Majesty.
01:45:16I heard Your Majesty
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1760
not want to see me
But thenI knew better.
01:45:33And so, I made a very short
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1765
to your diet chart.
Becomes you.
A king should lookrather substantial.
01:45:55We'll have you well
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1773
1774
me a party
There's no one who does itas well as you do.
01:46:21And London's become deadly dull
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1780
1781
1782
1783
1784
1785
1786
woman every day.
Past bearing.
Past bearings.
Very wittyVery.
01:46:56It's good of you
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1797
1798
1799
to your tailor
That uniform does notdo your shoulders credit.
01:47:44I told you, you should
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1804
being friends.
Not really.
I--I think we both...
might be betterwith some rest.
01:48:14If you don't mind, sir.
01:48:18Yes, well, it was nice...
01:48:21...sitting here beside you.
01:48:27Goodbye, Your Majesty.
01:48:31We'll see each other soon.
01:48:57God!
01:48:59Most people will count him
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1816
it's how he's affected
the hearts and soulsof those around him.
01:49:11It's the measure.
01:49:12On my word, it is.
01:49:16Let me know.
01:49:18I will, Sire.
01:49:22Goodbye, Mortimer.
01:49:44He made it possible
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
1826
1827
- No
We've neverdeceived each other.
01:50:14And now...
01:50:16I really must try
200:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
