Ship wrecked Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea) crawls ashore on a mysterious island and finds his way to a creepy castle inhabited by a Russian Count named Zaroff (Leslie Banks). There he meets the lovely Eve (Fay Wray) and her drunken brother Martin (Robert Armstrong), who were also ship wrecked. It turns out that the "Game" of the title is the mad Count hunting down and killing human prey.

00:01:41Channel's here on the chart, all right.
00:01:43And so are the marking lights.
00:01:45Then what's wrong with them?
00:01:47Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.
00:01:50They're both a bit out of position according to this.
00:01:52Two light buoys mean a safe channel between the world over.
00:01:55Safe between the world overs doesn't go on these waters.
00:01:59Look here.
00:02:00You'll see the water shoals on the island side
00:02:03while the deep soundings run to the mainland.
00:02:06Have any of you seen the captain today?
00:02:08No, he wasn't down for dinner.
00:02:10No, and he wasn't down for lunch.
00:02:12He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.
00:02:16What are you driving at?
00:02:18Ever since you gave him those orders yesterday
00:02:20to cut through these waters, he's had the jitters.
00:02:23There's something wrong.
00:02:26You know, I'm getting nerves myself.
00:02:28Doc, what do you recommend for nerves?
00:02:30Give him a shot of scotch.
00:02:32Give him the whole bottle.
00:02:33No, no, I've got nerves too.
00:02:35Here you are, Doc.
00:02:37Just what you need.
00:02:39Well, maybe you're right.
00:02:43Maybe you're right.
00:02:47Good evening, Captain.
00:02:48Good evening, sir.
00:02:49May I speak with you?
00:02:51Why, certainly.
00:02:53Go ahead.
00:02:54We're heading straight for the channel between Brank Island and the mainland.
00:02:57Good.
00:02:59But the lights are just a bit off according to the chart.
00:03:02But charts are never up to date in this part of the Pacific.
00:03:04You know that.
00:03:05I know, sir, but...
00:03:07doesn't Brank Island mean anything to you?
00:03:09Well, not a lot.
00:03:11Well, perhaps if I could talk with Mr. Rainsford...
00:03:13But Bob's not a sailor.
00:03:14He's a hunter.
00:03:15He's made many of these trips.
00:03:16He's young, but he has judgment.
00:03:18I'll call him.
00:03:20Oh, Bob.
00:03:22Bob.
00:03:23What is it?
00:03:24Come up here, will you?
00:03:25Just a minute.
00:03:26What's bothering you, Captain?
00:03:28There are no more coral reef, shark-infested waters in the whole world than these.
00:03:33Boy, just take a look at these.
00:03:36You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter, Doc.
00:03:38But oh, what a photographer.
00:03:39Say, if we'd had you to take pictures on the Sumatran trip,
00:03:41they might have believed my book.
00:03:43If you'd had me on the Sumatran trip,
00:03:45you'd never had me on this one.
00:03:47Say, here's a swell one of the ships, Skipper.
00:03:51Well, what's the matter?
00:03:52These old sea dogs tell yarns to kid each other
00:03:54and end up believing it all themselves.
00:03:56Well, I think that Mr. Rainsford should know
00:03:58that the channel lights aren't just in the position given on the chart.
00:04:01Oh.
00:04:02Well, what do you think, fellas?
00:04:04I think we should turn back and take the outside course.
00:04:07No, no, no.
00:04:09We'll go ahead.
00:04:12Very well, sir.
00:04:13It's your ship.
00:04:19It was the schooner Hesperus, and she sailed the wintry sea.
00:04:22Now, wait a minute, fellas.
00:04:24Let's talk this over.
00:04:25There's no use taking any chances.
00:04:26Chances?
00:04:27That's fine talk coming from a fellow who just got through slapping tigers in the face.
00:04:30Here, get an eyeful of this.
00:04:33And he talks about taking chances.
00:04:35Here's the doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera.
00:04:38Get the expression on Doc's face, Bill.
00:04:40He looks more frightened than the tiger.
00:04:42He is.
00:04:43Just what you have on your mind, Doc.
00:04:46I'll tell you what I had on my mind.
00:04:48I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.
00:04:51The beast of the jungle killing just for his existence is called savage.
00:04:56The man killing just for sport is called civilized.
00:04:59Hear, hear.
00:05:00It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?
00:05:02Now, just a minute.
00:05:03What makes you think it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
00:05:07Now, take that fellow right there, for instance.
00:05:09There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.
00:05:12But he didn't want to.
00:05:13He got interested in hunting me.
00:05:15He didn't hate me for stalking him
00:05:17any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
00:05:20As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
00:05:22Perhaps.
00:05:23But would you change places with the tiger?
00:05:26Well, not now.
00:05:28Here comes that bad luck lady again.
00:05:30Third time tonight.
00:05:33Here, let me shuffle them.
00:05:34Wait a minute.
00:05:35Don't evade the issue.
00:05:36Yes, Tom.
00:05:37I asked you a question.
00:05:38Yes.
00:05:39You did?
00:05:40Oh, I forgot.
00:05:41No, no, you didn't.
00:05:42I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the game
00:05:45if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.
00:05:47Gotcha now, Bob.
00:05:48Well, that's something I'll never have to decide.
00:05:51Listen here, you fellas.
00:05:53This world's divided into two kinds of people.
00:05:55The hunter and the hunted.
00:05:56Now, luckily, I'm a hunter.
00:05:58Nothing can ever change that.
00:06:13Hello.
00:06:14Hello down there.
00:06:15Hello, engine room.
00:06:16The water ever hits those hot boilers?
00:06:18The water ever hits those hot boilers?
00:06:20The water ever hits those hot boilers?
00:06:48Help!
00:06:49Help!
00:07:10I'm trying to drown here!
00:07:19Where are the others?
00:07:21See anybody?
00:07:23Nobody left but us two.
00:07:26And that fella.
00:07:32Doc!
00:07:33Help!
00:07:35Look!
00:07:36Shark!
00:07:40Oh!

00:10:29♪♪
00:10:39Hello, anybody here?
00:10:50Anybody around, I say?
00:10:56Oh, hello.
00:10:58Is this your house?
00:11:04I'm not trying to break in, but I've been in a wreck.
00:11:09Our yacht just sunk with all hands.
00:11:11I got ashore and found your place here by accident.
00:11:19I'm not trying to intrude, but I'm in sort of a jam.
00:11:25Don't you understand any English?
00:11:27Ivan does not speak any language.
00:11:30He has the misfortune to be dumb.
00:11:32Oh, hello.
00:11:34Are you the owner here?
00:11:36Yes.
00:11:37Welcome to my poor fortress.
00:11:40Fortress?
00:11:41It once was, built by the Portuguese centuries ago.
00:11:45I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
00:11:49I am Count Zoroff.
00:11:51My name's Robert Rainsford.
00:11:53Glad to meet you.
00:11:56Very glad.
00:11:58Ivan is a Cossack.
00:12:00I'm afraid, like all my fellow countrymen, he is a bit of a savage.
00:12:04Smile, Ivan.
00:12:09Who did this?
00:12:16I was trying to make him understand there'd been a shipwreck in the channel.
00:12:20Short was me.
00:12:22But how appalling.
00:12:24And you mean to say that you were the only survivor?
00:12:27Yes.
00:12:28I'm afraid I am.
00:12:31You're certain?
00:12:35Well, I'd never left the spot if I hadn't been.
00:12:37The swellest crowd on earth.
00:12:39My best friends.
00:12:40It's incredible.
00:12:42Such things are always incredible.
00:12:45Death is for others, not for ourselves.
00:12:48That is how most of my other guests have felt.
00:12:51Your other guests?
00:12:53You mean this has happened before?
00:12:55My dear fellow, we have several survivors from the last wreck still in the house.
00:12:59It would seem that this island were cursed.
00:13:03That's just what the captain said.
00:13:05Only he thought it was uninhabited.
00:13:07We Cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.
00:13:11Well, it's a break for me anyway.
00:13:13My house is yours, sir.
00:13:15Oh, by the way, you'll want to change those wet rags immediately.
00:13:19Yes.
00:13:20They look about the way I feel.
00:13:22Yes.
00:13:23I have some loose hunting clothes which I keep for my guests that you can possibly get into.
00:13:31Ivan will show you to your room.
00:13:33Thank you.
00:13:36You'll find a stiff drink there also.
00:13:39Thanks a lot.
00:13:40Proshu.
00:13:42All pleasure is mine.
00:14:10Come in.
00:14:15Ready, Rainsford?
00:14:16All set.
00:14:20I'm afraid we have finished dinner.
00:14:22But I have ordered something for you.
00:14:24Thanks.
00:14:25I don't feel like eating.
00:14:26Oh, dear, dear.
00:14:28Well, perhaps later.
00:14:30Now then, what do you say to coffee and most charming company?
00:14:36It is hard to forget your comrade's fate, I know.
00:14:39But our feminine guest is easily perturbed.
00:14:43If I could beg you to put a good face upon the matter.
00:14:47Assume a cheerfulness you may not feel.
00:14:50Why, sure.
00:14:51Of course.
00:14:52Thank you.
00:14:54Miss Trowbridge, may I present Mr. Robert Rainsford.
00:14:57Miss Eve Trowbridge.
00:14:59How do you do?
00:15:00How do you do?
00:15:01And her brother, Mr. Martin Trowbridge.
00:15:03How are you, old chap?
00:15:04Pretty well shaken up, I guess, huh?
00:15:05Coming out of it now, thanks.
00:15:06We know just how it feels.
00:15:08Don't we?
00:15:09Indeed, we do.
00:15:10Well, let's go.
00:15:11Thank you.
00:15:12Thank you.
00:15:13Thank you.
00:15:14Thank you.
00:15:15Thank you.
00:15:16Thank you.
00:15:17Thank you.
00:15:18Thank you.
00:15:19Thank you.
00:15:20Thank you.
00:15:21Thank you.
00:15:22Indeed, we do.
00:15:23Perhaps Mr. Rainsford would like some hot coffee.
00:15:26Oh, yes, of course.
00:15:27Mr. Rainsford, please sit here.
00:15:29Oh, thank you.
00:15:30Digustu coffee vodka.
00:15:32Vodka, that's the stuff.
00:15:34One shot will dry you out quicker than all the coffee in Java.
00:15:37Have to toss it off, though, like this.
00:15:39Now, Martin, you don't have to drink it all tonight, do you?
00:15:42Don't be ridiculous, sis.
00:15:44We are victims of circumstance.
00:15:46Same as Mr. Rainsford.
00:15:47And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.
00:15:51Isn't that so, Count?
00:15:52Of course, yes.
00:15:53You were in the shipwreck, too, I understand.
00:15:55Yes.
00:15:56Our lifeboat was the only one saved.
00:15:58My brother and I and two sailors.
00:16:00The Count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
00:16:04Those channel lights must have been shifted.
00:16:06I wonder if it hasn't been reported.
00:16:08Well, we'll report them, just as soon as we get back to the mainland.
00:16:11You see, the Count has only one launch, and that's under repair.
00:16:18Russians are not the best mechanics.
00:16:22I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.
00:16:25That's all right with me.
00:16:27I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.
00:16:30Speaking of that, perhaps now you'll tell us a little bit about who you are.
00:16:34Just sketchily, you know.
00:16:35Born, married, why I left my last job.
00:16:38No, no, no, no.
00:16:39One moment, please.
00:16:40Mr. Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house.
00:16:44No?
00:16:45No, we entertain a celebrity, Miss Trowbridge.
00:16:48Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:16:49Don't tell me.
00:16:50Let me guess.
00:16:53I know.
00:16:54Flagpole sitter.
00:16:55Oh, flagpole sitter.
00:16:56I know.
00:16:57He wrote some books.
00:16:58No, he lived some books.
00:17:00If I am not mistaken, this is Mr. Robert Rainsford,
00:17:03who hunts big game so adventurously.
00:17:05Eh?
00:17:06Yes, sir.
00:17:07I've lugged a gun around a little.
00:17:08I've lugged a gun around a little.
00:17:10No, I have read your books.
00:17:12I read all books on hunting.
00:17:14A papyrus?
00:17:15Thank you.
00:17:18Only in yours have I found a sane point of view.
00:17:21What do you mean, sane?
00:17:23Cigarette?
00:17:24Yeah, thanks.
00:17:25You do not excuse what needs no excuse.
00:17:27Now, let me see.
00:17:28How did you put it?
00:17:29Hunting is as much a game as stud poker,
00:17:32only the limits are higher.
00:17:34You have put our case perfectly, Mr. Rainsford.
00:17:37Well, then you're a hunter yourself.
00:17:39We are kindred spirits.
00:17:41It is my one passion.
00:17:43Ha!
00:17:44He sleeps all day and hunts all night.
00:17:46And what's more, Rainsford, he'll have you doing the same thing.
00:17:49We'll have capital sport together, I hope.
00:17:51Don't encourage him.
00:17:53You know, he's had our two settlers so busy
00:17:55chasing around the woods after flora and fauna
00:17:58that we haven't seen him for three days.
00:18:03But what do you hunt here?
00:18:07I'll tell you.
00:18:08You will be amused, I know.
00:18:10I have done a rare thing.
00:18:12I have invented a new sensation.
00:18:15And is he stingy with it?
00:18:17What does this sensation count?
00:18:19Mr. Rainsford, God made some men poets,
00:18:23some he made kings, some beggars.
00:18:26Me, he made a hunter.
00:18:30My hand was made for the trigger, my father told me.
00:18:36He was a very rich man,
00:18:38with a quarter of a million acres in the Crimea
00:18:40and an ardent sportsman.
00:18:42When I was only stirrup high, he gave me my first gun.
00:18:45Good for him.
00:18:46My life has been one glorious hunt.
00:18:49It would be impossible for me to tell you
00:18:51how many animals I have killed.
00:18:53But when the revolution played up...
00:18:55Look out!
00:18:56Vitry, stop!
00:19:00Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:19:02Count Zareff was so interesting, I didn't realize the danger.
00:19:07Oh, it's all right now.
00:19:09What were you saying about the revolution, Count?
00:19:11Oh, merely that I escaped with most of my fortune.
00:19:15Naturally, I continued to hunt all over the world.
00:19:20It was in Africa that the Cape Buffalo gave me this.
00:19:24That must have been a close call.
00:19:26Yes, it still bothers me sometimes.
00:19:29However, in two months, I was on my way to the Amazon.
00:19:33I'd heard that the jaguars there were unusually cunning.
00:19:37No, no, no.
00:19:39No sport at all.
00:19:41Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.
00:19:44One night as I lay in my tent with this...
00:19:47this head of mine,
00:19:49a terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.
00:19:53Hunting was beginning to bore me.
00:19:57Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
00:20:00Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
00:20:02It is, my dear lady,
00:20:04when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
00:20:07When I lost my love of hunting,
00:20:10I lost my love of life.
00:20:13Of love?
00:20:18Well, you seem to have stood it pretty well.
00:20:20I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
00:20:24I made myself perfect in the use of the tartar wobble.
00:20:29Tartar what?
00:20:31Tartar wobble.
00:20:33That one up there.
00:20:39That's cute.
00:20:41Even to this day, I prefer to hunt with it,
00:20:44but alas, even that was too deadly.
00:20:46What I needed was not a new weapon,
00:20:50but a new animal.
00:20:52A new animal?
00:20:54Exactly so.
00:20:57You found one?
00:21:00Yes.
00:21:03Here on my island,
00:21:06I hunt the most dangerous game.
00:21:11The most dangerous game?
00:21:14You mean tigers?
00:21:15Tigers? No.
00:21:18The tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.
00:21:24I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water.
00:21:28Was that it?
00:21:36It's no use, Rainsford.
00:21:38He won't tell.
00:21:40He won't even let you see his trophy room
00:21:43till he gets ready to take you on the hunt of a great Watson.
00:21:47My one secret.
00:21:49I keep it as a surprise for my guests.
00:21:52Against the rainy day of boredom.
00:21:54That's no boy.
00:21:56You let me in on that game, and I'll bet you I'd go for it.
00:21:59You know, Rainsford, he hasn't failed yet.
00:22:02If he says the thing is good, it is good.
00:22:05He's a judge of liquor, wizard of the contract,
00:22:08plays the piano, anything you want.
00:22:11He's a good host.
00:22:13And a good scholar, eh, Cobb?
00:22:15Yes, yes.
00:22:16You want me to go hunting?
00:22:17All right, you just say the word.
00:22:19We're pals.
00:22:20We'll have a big party and get cock-eyed and go hunting.
00:22:23A completely civilized point of view.
00:22:25Listen, I'll tell you what you do.
00:22:27You come to my place in the Adirondacks sometimes, see?
00:22:30We'll have a private car, liquor and gals on the trip,
00:22:34and the guides will make the dears behave.
00:22:38I think we'd better change the subject.
00:22:41All right.
00:22:42Change the subject.
00:22:44Oh, I know.
00:22:45Play the piano, huh?
00:22:47If you wish.
00:22:49Good idea.
00:22:50Play the piano.
00:22:51Leave it to me and I'll fix everything.
00:22:53Perhaps the Count doesn't want to play.
00:22:57There you go.
00:22:58It's just dry, cold water.
00:23:00Leave me alone.
00:23:01I know what a piano is.
00:23:02I'm perfectly sober.
00:23:04A charming simplicity.
00:23:07Completely civilized, did you say?
00:23:09He talks of waning women as a prelude to the hunt.
00:23:13We barbarians know that it is after the chase and then only
00:23:16that man revels.
00:23:18It does seem a bit like cocktails before breakfast.
00:23:20Of course, yes.
00:23:21You know the saying of the O'Gandhi chieftains.
00:23:23Hunt first the enemy, then the woman.
00:23:26That's the savages' idea everywhere.
00:23:28It is the natural instinct.
00:23:30What is woman?
00:23:32Even such a woman as this,
00:23:34until the blood is quickened by the kill.
00:23:37Oh, I don't know.
00:23:39Oh, I don't know.
00:23:41You Americans.
00:23:43One passion builds upon another.
00:23:46Kill.
00:23:48Then love.
00:23:50When you have known that,
00:23:52you will have known ecstasy.
00:23:57Oh, Martin.
00:24:01You know, just sing Zorroff, the keyboard king,
00:24:04in his Branca Island hour.
00:24:06Come on, Count, now you show him.
00:24:08What do you suggest?
00:24:10Oh, just a good tune.
00:24:11But not highbrow like last night.
00:24:13Just a good tune, see?
00:24:15I see.
00:24:18ZORROFF
00:24:43Oh, it's hunting dogs.
00:24:45Keep your voice low and listen.
00:24:47It isn't true about the launch needing repairs.
00:24:49I heard it leave the boathouse last night.
00:24:51It returned this morning.
00:24:53You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland?
00:24:55Yes.
00:24:58Well, perhaps he enjoys the company of two very charming people.
00:25:01Two, maybe.
00:25:03There were four of us a week ago.
00:25:05The other two have disappeared.
00:25:07What do you mean?
00:25:09One night after dinner, the cop took one of our sailors down to see his trophy.
00:25:14At the foot of those stone steps.
00:25:18That iron door?
00:25:19Yes.
00:25:20Two nights later, he took the other there.
00:25:23Neither has been seen since.
00:25:26Have you asked him about them?
00:25:28He says they've gone hunting.
00:25:30Oh, be careful. He's watching us.
00:25:33Will you smile as if I've said something funny?
00:25:37Now look here, you must be mistaken.
00:25:38Not now.
00:25:40Applaud.
00:25:45Ah, boy. Ah, boy.
00:25:48Thank you.
00:25:49What did I tell you? Smacks of main ivory, eh, Rainsford?
00:25:51It was splendid. Don't stop, please.
00:25:53No, I'm afraid we have failed to hold the full attention of our audience.
00:25:58Well, I...
00:25:59I expect it's rather difficult for Mr. Rainsford to concentrate on anything after all he's been through.
00:26:03Oh, my dear lady, you are pleading for yourself.
00:26:06I can see the drooping of those lovely eyes.
00:26:10Excuse me.
00:26:12Provedeo novel.
00:26:14You know, the Count's worse than a family governess.
00:26:16Every night he sends us off to bed like naughty children.
00:26:18Oh, no, my dear. No.
00:26:22Charming children.
00:26:27There. You hear that, sis?
00:26:29Now travel on upstairs and don't bother us grown-ups anymore.
00:26:32Well, after that, I guess...
00:26:34I guess I'll have to go.
00:26:36Good night, Mr. Rainsford.
00:26:37Good night. We'll be seeing each other at breakfast.
00:26:40Good night.
00:26:41Good night.
00:26:42Good night, sis. We won't be seeing each other at breakfast.
00:26:50Oh, my dear Rainsford, I have been most inconsiderate.
00:26:53You must be feeling the need of sleep, too.
00:26:55Yes, I am just about all in.
00:26:57Then Ivan will show you to your room.
00:27:00Look, do you come to do?
00:27:05Well, Martin, turn in early, please.
00:27:08Don't worry. The Count will take care of me, all right.
00:27:13Indeed I shall.
00:27:15Good night.
00:27:33Well, good night.
00:27:34Good night, sir. Sleep well.
00:27:46Oh, well, here's long life.
00:27:50A long life.
00:27:53Tell me, Mr. Trowbridge, are you also fatigued?
00:27:58Tired? Me? You know I'm not.
00:28:01You know, Rainsford, we two are just alike.
00:28:05Up all night and sleep all day.
00:28:08Well, good night.
00:28:11Well, what are we going to do, huh?
00:28:15What's the big idea?
00:28:18I thought that perhaps tonight you would like to see my trophy room.
00:28:26Your trophy room?
00:28:28I'm sure you will find it most interesting.
00:28:34Say, that's a great idea.
00:28:37Now we're pals. No more secrets now, huh?
00:28:40Now we're pals. No more secrets now, huh?
00:28:43We'll make a night of it.
00:28:45I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge.
00:28:47Just you and I, pals.
00:28:49We'll have fun together, huh?
00:28:51Precisely, yes.
00:28:53Fun together.
00:28:55Ah, boy, Collie, oh boy, oh boy, Collie.
00:29:10Please, let me come in.
00:29:11Please, let me come in.
00:29:12Please, let me come in.
00:29:13Please, let me come in.
00:29:14Please, let me come in.
00:29:15Please, let me come in.
00:29:16Please, let me come in.
00:29:17Please, let me come in.
00:29:18Please, let me come in.
00:29:19Please, let me come in.
00:29:20Please, let me come in.
00:29:21Please, let me come in.
00:29:22Please, let me come in.
00:29:23Please, let me come in.
00:29:24Please, let me come in.
00:29:25Please, let me come in.
00:29:26Please, let me come in.
00:29:27Please, let me come in.
00:29:28Please, let me come in.
00:29:29Please, let me come in.
00:29:30Please, let me come in.
00:29:31Please, let me come in.
00:29:32Please, let me come in.
00:29:33Please, let me come in.
00:29:34Please, let me come in.
00:29:41I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm frightened.
00:29:44What was it, those dogs?
00:29:46My brother.
00:29:47I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.
00:29:49I've just gone to his room.
00:29:51He isn't there.
00:29:52He's probably somewhere with a count.
00:29:54That's just what I'm afraid of.
00:29:56Count Zeaf is planning something about my brother and me.
00:30:00You don't really think anything's happened to your brother.
00:30:02No, but we've got to find him.
00:30:04Won't you help me?
00:30:06Why, of course I'll help you.
00:30:08Where do you think he's gone?
00:30:10Where did the others go?
00:30:14The iron door.
00:30:17I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.
00:30:19Thank you.
00:30:32That's clear.
00:30:51It's unlocked.
00:31:21Oh!
00:31:49He's coming down.
00:31:50Back here, quick!
00:32:03Where's my brother?
00:32:30Where's my brother?
00:32:48You killed him!
00:32:51You killed my brother!
00:32:56Who are you?
00:33:18Come, come, my dear Rainsford.
00:33:20I don't want to treat you like my other guests.
00:33:23You and I, we are hunters.
00:33:28So that's your most dangerous game.
00:33:31Yes.
00:33:32My dear fellow, I intended to tell you last night.
00:33:34But you know, Miss, Miss Plowbridge...
00:33:36You hunted him like an animal.
00:33:37I know what you think, but you are wrong.
00:33:40He was sober and fit for sport when I sent him out.
00:33:43An hour or two strapped up in here brought him to his senses.
00:33:46You raving maniac!
00:33:49Yes, yes, yes.
00:33:50I'll take it off when we finish.
00:33:52The stupid fellow tried to escape through the swamps of Fog Hollow.
00:33:57You see, when I first began stalking my island, many of my guests thought I was joking.
00:34:02So I established this trophy room.
00:34:05I always bring them here before the hunt.
00:34:09An hour with my trophies.
00:34:11And they usually do their best to keep away from me.
00:34:14Where do you get these poor devils?
00:34:17Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.
00:34:22But they're like buoys to mark the safe channel.
00:34:26They do not always mark it.
00:34:29You shifted them.
00:34:30Precisely right.
00:34:32Too bad your yacht should have suffered.
00:34:34But at least it brought us together.
00:34:37You take half-drowned men from ships you've wrecked and drive them out to be hunted.
00:34:41I give them every consideration.
00:34:44Food, exercise, everything to get them in splendid shape.
00:34:48To be shot down in cold blood.
00:34:50Oh, no, no, no.
00:34:52Oh, I admit with this annoying fellow.
00:34:54But usually I give them hunting clothes, a woodsman's knife, and a full day's start.
00:35:01Why, I even wait until midnight to give them the full advantage of the dark.
00:35:05And if one eludes me only till sunrise, he wins the game.
00:35:11Suppose he refuses to be hunted.
00:35:16Ivan is such an artist with these.
00:35:21Invariably, Mr. Rainsford, invariably they choose to hunt.
00:35:26And when they win?
00:35:33To date, I have not lost.
00:35:36Oh, Rainsford, you'll find this game worth playing.
00:35:40When the next ship arrives, we'll have gorgeous sport together.
00:35:43You murdering rat, I'm a hunter, not an assassin.
00:35:47Come, Rainsford, say you'll hunt with me.
00:35:52Hunt men?
00:35:55Say you'll hunt with me.
00:36:03No.
00:36:05What do you think I am?
00:36:08One I fear who dare not follow his own convictions to their logical conclusion.
00:36:14I'm afraid in this instance, Mr. Rainsford, you may have to follow them.
00:36:22What do you mean?
00:36:25I shall not wait for the next ship.
00:36:29Four o'clock. The sun is just rising.
00:36:34Come, Mr. Rainsford. Let us not waste time.
00:36:53Ivan.
00:36:56Yes.
00:37:01Your fangs and claws, Mr. Rainsford.
00:37:19Ivan.
00:37:21Bob, what are they going to do?
00:37:24I'm going to be hunted.
00:37:26Oh, no. No, Miss Trowbridge. Outdoor chess.
00:37:30His brain against mine.
00:37:32His good craft against mine.
00:37:35And the prize?
00:37:38The prize?
00:37:40You may recall what I said last evening.
00:37:43Only after the kill does man know the true ecstasy of love.
00:37:50Suppose you lose.
00:37:53If I do not, what shall I say, find you
00:37:58between midnight and sunrise tomorrow, freedom for both of you.
00:38:03I'm going with you.
00:38:04No. He'll kill you, too.
00:38:06Not at all. One does not kill a female animal.
00:38:09If you lose, I can easily recapture her alive.
00:38:13All right. I'll take her with me, then.
00:38:15We'll set him a trail he'll remember.
00:38:22It's only fair to advise you against Fog Hollow.
00:38:28Outdoor chess, Mr. Rainsford.
00:38:45Don't lose your nerve. We beat this thing.
00:38:48The others didn't.
00:38:49We will.
00:38:58Come on. Let's get going.
00:39:29It seems as though we've come miles.
00:39:31Yeah.
00:39:32Well, three hours doesn't take you far in this jungle.
00:39:35Come on. Let's keep going.
00:39:37Come on.
00:39:47Just a little more of this, then easy downhill going.
00:39:51Soon be safe.
00:39:58Come on.
00:40:19No wonder he was so sure.
00:40:21This island's no bigger than a deer park.
00:40:24Oh, Bob.
00:40:27Come on, now.
00:40:30What are we going to do?
00:40:32We didn't each live through a shipwreck to let this crazy man hunter worry us.
00:40:36I shouldn't have come with you.
00:40:38You might beat him if you were alone.
00:40:40Alone? And leave you here with that savage?
00:40:44Not a chance.
00:40:47Now, we've got to think of something to worry him.
00:40:50Oh, you'd never get near him. He'd shoot on sight.
00:40:53Weapons aren't everything in the jungle.
00:40:56Say, did you notice that leaning tree down there?
00:41:00The one we just passed?
00:41:02Yes. Come on, I want to show you something.
00:41:08You see? If that supporting branch were cut away,
00:41:11this fallen tree would make a perfect melee deadfall.
00:41:13A melee deadfall? What's that?
00:41:15A man-killing contraption that natives use.
00:41:18Stop that madman, all right?
00:41:20Trouble is, it takes quite a few hours to build.
00:41:22He said he wouldn't follow till midnight.
00:41:24That's right. If you help me, I think we'll have time.
00:41:27Come on, we'll cut some strong vines.
00:41:34There. Almost ready.
00:41:37The bracelet of yours makes a fine guide ring for my necktie.
00:41:40He'll have been on his way almost an hour now.
00:41:43Look out. Don't touch that trip line.
00:41:45You'll have a two-ton tree down on your back.
00:41:47The jungle wood's as heavy as iron.
00:41:49Will it really work?
00:41:51I've never known a living thing to get by one yet.
00:41:54Look here. If you touch that trip line,
00:41:57you'll pull that trigger free.
00:41:59Once that's loose, there's nothing to keep the log from coming down.
00:42:03It'll crash down and kill anything underneath it.
00:42:09Look.
00:42:16We're ready. Let him come.
00:42:21Give me that knife.
00:43:22Ah!
00:43:35Come out, Rainsford.
00:43:37Fight for Longinus.
00:43:39I'll not bungle this shot.
00:43:41You'll never even feel it.
00:43:44But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted
00:43:48But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted
00:43:51leopards would follow you into that ambush?
00:44:00Oh, very well.
00:44:02If you choose to play the leopard,
00:44:05I shall hunt you like a leopard.
00:44:17Wait. Maybe it's a trick.
00:44:47Easy.
00:45:01Why did he go?
00:45:03He's playing with us, like a cat with a mouse.
00:45:06What do you mean?
00:45:08You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard.
00:45:11It means he's gone for his high-powered rifle.
00:45:13His rifle?
00:45:15Oh, Bob, we must get away from here.
00:45:17Eve, wait.
00:45:40No, I tell you, no.
00:45:42No, I tell you, no.
00:45:44No, it's tough. No.
00:45:46Wait. That's Fog Hollow ahead.
00:45:48Fog Hollow?
00:45:50The swamp where he caught the others.
00:45:52We haven't a chance of keeping ahead of him there.
00:45:54But there's no place else to run.
00:45:56That's just what he's counting on.
00:45:57We've got two hours till dawn.
00:45:59We've got to use our brains instead of our legs.
00:46:01But he'll have his rifle.
00:46:03And we'll have a man trap. Look.
00:46:06Oh, it makes me dizzy.
00:46:13Cover this over.
00:46:15When Mr. Zaroff falls down there, he'll be all through hunting.
00:46:19Quick, gather some leaves and grass. I'll cut some branches.
00:47:12THE END
00:47:42© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:48:13Yes.
00:48:14Very good, Rainsford.
00:48:17Very good.
00:48:19You have not won yet.
00:48:22Look at your watch.
00:48:27Are you looking at it?
00:48:29Still half an hour till sunrise.
00:48:31Swamp or no swamp, we can keep ahead of him that long.
00:48:35As you are doubtless saying, the odds are against me.
00:48:39You have made my rifle useless in the fog.
00:48:44You cannot blame me if I overcome that obstacle.

00:57:14Thank you for watching!
00:57:44My dear Rainsford, I congratulate you.
00:58:08You have beaten me.
00:58:22Not yet.
00:58:23Oh, but of course, I insist.
00:58:27Why, you're... you're not even wounded.
00:58:37You hit the dog, not me.
00:58:38I took a chance and went over with him.
00:58:44A clever trick, Rainsford.
00:58:46I cheerfully admit defeat.
00:58:52Here's the key of the boathouse.
00:58:55The door is in the trophy room.
00:58:58You and Miss Throbridge may leave at once.
