00:04:40Meow.
00:04:42And as I write, it may become clear that what happened to us had its own reason beyond our poor understanding.
00:04:50If this reaches you, you will know how I became yours when you didn't know who I was, or even that I existed.
00:05:00I think everyone has two birthdays. The day of his physical birth and the beginning of his conscious life.
00:05:08Nothing is vivid or real in my memory before that day in spring when I came home from school and found a moving van in front of our building.
00:05:18I wondered about our new neighbor who owns such beautiful things.
00:05:42Lisa. Come in, Lisa. Come in this minute, you hear?
00:05:48Lisa.
00:05:50Yes, Mother.
00:05:54Who's going to clean that up?
00:05:56Me, I suppose.
00:05:58Yeah, I haven't enough to do.
00:06:00I told you we shouldn't drive to the lake.
00:06:02You better get another rope.
00:06:04What?
00:06:05You better get another rope.
00:06:06All right.
00:06:08Come on. Get another rope to the wagon.
00:06:10This is the last time I move a musician.
00:06:12Why does he have to play the piano?
00:06:14Why not the piccolo?
00:06:22Where do these go?
00:06:25What?
00:06:31Aha. In the stuff.
00:06:34Hey, pal, where's that rope? We're waiting.
00:06:37I'm coming.
00:06:41Lisa, what are you doing out there? Come inside.
00:07:00I didn't see you that day, or for many days thereafter, but I could listen to your playing.
00:07:30I wish he'd stop that noise.
00:07:33It's not noise.
00:07:35Don't bite my head off.
00:07:37It's Mr. Brown playing.
00:07:40Call that flanks.
00:07:41Shh.
00:07:50Hello, Dizzy.
00:07:53Who?
00:07:55Him.
00:07:57Oh, I don't know.
00:07:59Quite old, I guess.
00:08:01Oh.
00:08:03You know the boy I was talking to outside of school?
00:08:06The boney one with the yellow hair and the long nose.
00:08:09The one who lives next to the grocery.
00:08:11I'm going to have to do something about him if he doesn't keep his hands to himself.
00:08:18He thinks he does.
00:08:19He's right out in the street.
00:08:46Thank you, John.
00:09:05I'll be home late.
00:09:06You needn't wait up for me.
00:09:21Good morning.
00:09:35Why, Lisa!
00:09:39You're all red in the face.
00:09:41You're blushing!
00:09:43I'll get you for this!
00:09:46Yes, I was blushing.
00:09:48And hard as it may be for you to realize, from that moment on, I was in love with you.
00:09:55Quite consciously, I began to prepare myself for you.
00:09:59I kept my clothes neater so you wouldn't be ashamed of me.
00:10:04I went to dancing school.
00:10:07I wanted to become more graceful and learn good manners for you.
00:10:23And so I would know more about you and your world.
00:10:27I went to the library and studied the lives of the great musicians of the past.
00:10:45Though I was not able to go to your concerts, I found ways of sharing in your success.
00:10:57And as the months went by, I began to know your friends.
00:11:07Many of them were women.
00:11:09Most of them.
00:11:13Lisa!
00:11:20Lisa!
00:11:21Where are you, Lisa?
00:11:27Aren't you going to finish your dinner?
00:11:33I'm sorry, Mother.
00:11:41What I really lived for were those evenings when you were alone and I pretended you were playing just for me.
00:12:05And though you didn't know it, you were giving me some of the happiest hours of my life.
00:13:05Then came a great day for me.
00:13:33In the building where we lived, Thursday was rug beating day.
00:13:46Come on, let's help him.
00:13:47Oh, I've got to do my own work.
00:13:49I'll do it for you afterwards.
00:13:50Come on.
00:13:58Remember what you promised.
00:13:59I will.
00:14:06Beautiful rug.
00:14:09It's a beautiful rug, isn't it?
00:14:10It's just a rug.
00:14:11Oh, you wouldn't know.
00:14:16Say, what are we doing this for?
00:14:18Shh, he'll hear you.
00:14:19Oh, he can't talk.
00:14:21Well, he can hear, can't he?
00:14:24Come on.
00:14:33You're welcome.
00:14:36Come on, Lisa.
00:14:37I'll be right down.
00:14:38What are you going to do?
00:14:39Go away, I'll be right down.
00:14:41What are you going to do?
00:14:42Go away or I'll throw you downstairs.
00:14:46Are you crazy?
00:15:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:15:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:13Oh, I'm sorry.
00:16:42Lisa.
00:16:52Come on, dear.
00:16:55What are you doing up there?
00:16:58Come, dear.
00:16:59I have something to tell you.
00:17:01It's... it's... it's really good news.
00:17:04And I'm sure if you think about it sensibly,
00:17:06Well, I'm sure if you think about it sensibly, you'll be very, very happy.
00:17:13Sit down.
00:17:24Well...
00:17:27I can understand you must have been startled when you saw her customer and me in the hall.
00:17:32Perhaps it was my fault for not telling you something about it before.
00:17:37You see, dear, your mother is not really old.
00:17:41She can have admirers, too. She can even...
00:17:44Well, be in love with a man.
00:17:47Someday you'll understand better what that means.
00:17:52Besides, you know how hard it is for us to get along on my small pension.
00:17:56Her customer has a comfortable business in Linz.
00:17:59A military tailor.
00:18:01And he has...
00:18:03He has done me the honor of asking me to marry him.
00:18:08Besides, he's a kind man, and he likes you very much.
00:18:12I'm sure with his help it'll be much easier for you to make the kind of...
00:18:15Mother.
00:18:16What is it?
00:18:18Would we have to go to Linz? Would we have to live there?
00:18:21But why not? What is there to keep us here?
00:18:24I won't go. I won't go!
00:18:26Lisa!
00:18:28What's the matter?
00:18:29What is it?
00:18:31Lisa!
00:18:32I won't go. I won't go.
00:18:35Now, Lisa, do be reasonable and tell your mother.
00:18:39Lisa!
00:18:45But that will go with us in our compartment.
00:18:47Let's see. We had 11 altogether.
00:18:49One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.
00:18:54And the trunks, dear.
00:18:55Now, don't worry, dear. I'll take care of everything.
00:18:57The expressman promised the trunks that...
00:19:00Oh! Either I've lost half a minute or the station clock's ahead.
00:19:03How much will that be, please?
00:19:05That's up to you, sir.
00:19:06Up to me?
00:19:08One coin should be enough.
00:19:10I promise you the trunks will be here on time.
00:19:12About the boxes. One, two, three, four, five, six...
00:19:16Ah! How long will it take if we send them to Linz?
00:19:20Third class.
00:19:21Two weeks, maybe.
00:19:23Two weeks. Very good. Mark each of these second class.
00:19:25Third class.
00:19:27Each of these second class.
00:19:28Third class.
00:19:30Ah! What did I tell you?
00:19:32When you're going to do a thing, do it on time.
00:19:35That's always been my system.
00:19:36You can unload those right here.
00:19:38Our train doesn't leave until 12.
00:19:40Or does it leave at 12?
00:19:4212? Oh, yes, of course. I'd almost forgotten.
00:19:44Well, now let me see.
00:19:46I'll have to look for the baggage.
00:19:47Please don't get excited, dear.
00:19:49I'll take care of it.
00:19:55Suddenly I knew I couldn't live without you.
00:19:58I didn't know what I had in mind,
00:20:00or what my parents would do when they found me missing.
00:20:03All I wanted was to see you once more,
00:20:06to be near you again,
00:20:07to throw myself at your feet and cling to you,
00:20:10and never leave you.
00:20:12Nothing else. Nothing else mattered.
00:20:21All right, all right.
00:20:24Oh, it's you, the little girl.
00:20:26Oh, it's you, Lisa.
00:20:28I thought by now you were already halfway to Linz.
00:20:32Didn't your train leave about...
00:20:33I've found something.
00:20:56Oh, my God.
00:21:26Oh, my God.
00:21:57These rooms where I had lived
00:21:59had been filled with your music.
00:22:02Now they were empty.
00:22:04Would they ever come to life again?
00:22:07Would I?
00:22:09Only you could answer.
00:22:11So I waited.
00:22:13Waited.
00:22:17For what seemed endless hours,
00:22:18I sat outside your door,
00:22:20trying to keep myself awake,
00:22:22afraid I might fall asleep and miss you.
00:22:24Then...
00:22:31Who is it?
00:22:32Brent.
00:22:33Good morning, Mr. Brent.
00:22:55Here.
00:23:19And so there was nothing left for me.
00:23:22I went to Linz.
00:23:25I went to Linz.
00:23:31You who have always lived so freely,
00:23:34have you any idea what life is like in a little garrison town?
00:23:39I was 18 now,
00:23:41and was expected to take my place in society.
00:23:46Come now, Lisa, don't look down at your feet.
00:23:49Please be tactful and let him do the talking,
00:23:51but not all the talking.
00:23:52Do you hear me, Lisa?
00:23:54Good morning, Colonel.
00:23:55Good morning, General.
00:23:58Good morning.
00:24:03Frau Kessler.
00:24:04Fräulein Kessler.
00:24:05Herr Kessler,
00:24:06may I have the honor to present my nephew,
00:24:08Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:11I have the honor to kiss your hand.
00:24:13I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:24:14Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:24:15Herr Kessler.
00:24:17I have the honor, sir.
00:24:18I'm very pleased to make your acquaintance.
00:24:19Thank you, Lieutenant.
00:24:21Allow me to present our daughter, Lisa.
00:24:23Lieutenant Leopold von Kasselig.
00:24:33I've been meaning to tell you for some time
00:24:35how impressed I was with your parade
00:24:37the morning of the Emperor's birthday.
00:24:39Oh, excuse me.
00:24:46Do you like it here in Linz?
00:24:48Quite well.
00:24:50It must seem very restful after living in Vienna.
00:24:53I like Vienna.
00:24:55Indeed?
00:24:57What did you like about it?
00:25:02Perhaps you were fond of the music.
00:25:03Yes.
00:25:05We also have good music here.
00:25:08Every other Saturday afternoon
00:25:10they give a concert on the Corso.
00:25:11Oh, really?
00:25:13Perhaps someday you'll allow me the honor to escort you.
00:25:16Very nice of you.
00:25:17When I was a cadet, I took part myself.
00:25:19I played second trumpet.
00:25:21Oh, how nice.
00:25:22I must say, I'm glad we both like music.
00:25:25You see, there's nothing wrong with a child
00:25:26if she only meets the right people.
00:25:38Up, up, up.
00:25:41Up, up, up.
00:25:48The lieutenant was right.
00:25:50Linz was a musical town.
00:25:52So twice a month that summer we listened,
00:25:54the lieutenant and I.
00:26:17Before the afternoon is over,
00:26:18I'm sure we'll have an announcement.
00:26:21Nothing could please us more, Colonel.
00:26:23Isn't that right, my dear?
00:26:29Miss Lisa.
00:26:31This is a subject which I wish to bring up for some time.
00:26:34I trust you'll forgive me if I presume to mention
00:26:36a hope I've allowed myself.
00:26:38I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:39I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:40I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:41I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:42I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:43I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:44I'm afraid I can't.
00:26:45In the end I try not to presume to mention
00:26:47a hope I've allowed myself.
00:26:48It may be unnecessary for me to mention
00:26:50that ever since you first came to my attention
00:26:52I've been most favorably impressed.
00:26:56And I have every reason to believe
00:26:57that your parents are not opposed to my keeping company,
00:26:59that is, steady company with you.
00:27:00But lieutenant I...
00:27:01Oh, please allow me to finish.
00:27:04As far as my prospects are concerned
00:27:06you must be aware by now
00:27:07that it's generally believed
00:27:08by my uncle and others
00:27:09that I have the qualifications
00:27:10for an outstanding military career.
00:27:11Oh, there's no doubt of that.
00:27:13soon to discuss any definite steps. We should know each other for a reasonable time.
00:27:16But Lieutenant, I'm sorry, it's impossible.
00:27:18Impossible?
00:27:20Please don't ask me to explain, but...
00:27:22I certainly must insist. Is there someone else?
00:27:24Yes.
00:27:26I'm engaged to be married.
00:27:28Engaged to be married?
00:27:30I should have told you before, but I didn't realize how...
00:27:32The whole time you've been in Linz, I haven't seen you in anyone's company.
00:27:34He doesn't live in Linz. He lives in Vienna.
00:27:36In Vienna?
00:27:38He writes music. He's a musician.
00:27:40But how can that be? Your mother and father,
00:27:42and my uncle, every encouragement.
00:27:44You mean you're engaged to a man and your parents don't even know him?
00:27:48Oh.
00:27:50I'm sorry, I...
00:27:52Oh.
00:27:54Then, please.
00:27:56It won't be long now.
00:27:58The wine!
00:28:00Waiter! The wine!
00:28:12Up! Up!
00:28:38But I don't understand.
00:28:40Lisa, what happened?
00:28:42Answer me. What happened?
00:28:44Nothing. But after all...
00:28:46But you must have said something. What did you say to him?
00:28:48Well, I only told him the truth.
00:28:50The truth? What do you mean, the truth?
00:28:52What did you say to him?
00:28:54I told him I wasn't free.
00:28:56What?
00:28:58My poor parents.
00:29:00For them, this was the end.
00:29:02For me, it was a new beginning.
00:29:04Vienna,
00:29:06when I saw it again,
00:29:08seemed to have taken on a new splendor.
00:29:10All the time I've been away,
00:29:12I thought of it longingly as your city.
00:29:14Now it was our city.
00:29:18Madame Spitzer's where I found work
00:29:20was the kind of establishment
00:29:22where one learns many things.
00:29:24Miss Lisa, please.
00:29:26Coming.
00:29:34Now.
00:29:36Hold your breath.
00:29:40Miss Lisa, we are waiting.
00:29:54Very pretty.
00:29:56Yes.
00:29:58Very.
00:30:24Very charming.
00:30:26Very charming indeed.
00:30:28Do you think...
00:30:30She's not like the others.
00:30:32Well, but every evening,
00:30:34as soon as the shutters are closed,
00:30:36off she goes, straight home.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:44Madame Spitzer spoke the truth.
00:30:46I was not like the others.
00:30:48Nobody waited for me.
00:30:52Off I went,
00:30:54not home,
00:30:56but to the only place
00:30:58that had ever seemed home to me.
00:31:00After night,
00:31:02I returned to the same spot,
00:31:04but you never noticed me
00:31:06until one evening.
00:31:30The mountains
00:31:32so deep and
00:31:34so beautiful.
00:31:38Oh,
00:31:40they're not cold
00:31:42as they seem.
00:31:44They've got
00:31:46heat
00:31:48that blinds them,
00:31:50that blinds them
00:31:52to the crazy
00:31:54melody.
00:32:00I've seen you before,
00:32:02a few nights ago.
00:32:04Right here.
00:32:06Oh, you live near here?
00:32:08No.
00:32:10No.
00:32:12No.
00:32:14No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:26No.
00:32:28No.
00:32:30You like to listen to street singers?
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:34Neither do I.
00:32:40I should introduce myself.
00:32:42No, I know who you are.
00:32:54I suppose sooner or later
00:32:56we'll have to decide where we're walking to.
00:32:58I have something I should call off.
00:33:02I almost never get to the place I start out for anyway.
00:33:26Good evening.
00:33:32More milk.
00:33:34That's enough.
00:33:46Pardon.
00:33:50Very charming.
00:33:52Anything else I can do for you, Mr. Brandt?
00:33:54I have to go to college.
00:33:56I won't be at rehearsal this evening.
00:33:58Oh, congratulations.
00:34:00Fritz, is the journal free now?
00:34:02Just a moment, sir.
00:34:04Don't you see I'm busy with Mr. Brandt?
00:34:06Now, how about Lily?
00:34:08Yes, there is Lily.
00:34:10If she comes, what am I going to tell her?
00:34:12Well, tell her...
00:34:14I'll tell her it was most important
00:34:16and you had to work tonight.
00:34:18I'm sure she will understand.
00:34:22I missed you yesterday. I have to talk with you.
00:34:24Well, later.
00:34:26I saw the manuscript of the concerto.
00:34:28It's a young man I met.
00:34:30His father owns half of the carlton to Schomburg.
00:34:32I thought perhaps it was something for one of your concerts.
00:34:34If you just glance at it...
00:34:36Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:34:38Tomorrow.
00:34:52Huh?
00:34:56Now, don't be frightened.
00:34:58Even if it's not becoming, the lobster will pay no attention.
00:35:00I was wrong.
00:35:02It is becoming.
00:35:04Now, let's see.
00:35:06When did they have lobster again?
00:35:08Friday. How about Friday?
00:35:10Oh, a week is a long time.
00:35:12How about Wednesday evening? That's venison.
00:35:14Or is pheasant on Monday?
00:35:16Could you possibly make it on Monday?
00:35:18I have no engagements at all.
00:35:20We'll have dinner tomorrow night.
00:35:22Wiener schnitzel.
00:35:24Excuse me, Herr Brandt,
00:35:26but the lady in the next room, if I'm not mistaken,
00:35:28it's the Countess Rudensky, wonders if you would do her the favor
00:35:30of signing her program of this afternoon's concert.
00:35:32Certainly.
00:35:34She said Mozart himself could not have done better.
00:35:36How nice of her.
00:35:38There you are.
00:35:40Thank the Countess for the compliment.
00:35:42Thank you, Herr Brandt.
00:35:44Even though it's certainly the least deserved.
00:35:46Four years ago when you played the D minor.
00:35:48The morning review also compared you to a young Mozart.
00:35:50I was very young.
00:35:52There was that much resemblance.
00:35:56Do you like it?
00:36:00Valpolicelli, it's called.
00:36:02The first vineyard you see
00:36:04when you come down the other side of the Alps.
00:36:06And the Italians say it's such a good wine
00:36:08because the grapes have their roots in the valley
00:36:10and their eyes on the mountains.
00:36:12Please.
00:36:14Please what?
00:36:16Please talk about yourself.
00:36:20I believe you really want to hear about me.
00:36:22Why?
00:36:24Never mind why.
00:36:26The truth is
00:36:28I've had rather an easy time of it.
00:36:30People accept my music very quickly.
00:36:34Perhaps too quickly.
00:36:36Sometimes it's easier to please others
00:36:38than oneself.
00:36:40What are you going to say?
00:36:42You know you don't talk very much.
00:36:44Well, I can't say it very well, but...
00:36:46Yes?
00:36:48Sometimes I felt when you were playing that...
00:36:50Go on.
00:36:52That you haven't quite found...
00:36:54I don't know what it is
00:36:56what you're looking for.
00:37:00How long have you been hiding in my piano?
00:37:02I never mind explaining.
00:37:06I just assume you're a sorceress
00:37:08and that you can make yourself very tiny.
00:37:10It might be a good thing to have a sorceress for a friend.
00:37:14Who knows?
00:37:16You may be able to help me someday.
00:37:28How could I help you?
00:37:30So that's what you've been thinking about.
00:37:34You're a very strange girl.
00:37:36Whoever you are and wherever you came from
00:37:38don't you have any problems?
00:37:40Not important ones.
00:37:46It's been a long while
00:37:48since anyone did that for me.
00:37:52Stop here, please.
00:38:00Good evening, Mr. Blunt.
00:38:02Good evening.
00:38:04A rose?
00:38:06A rose?
00:38:08Yes, please.
00:38:10No, red is the wrong color.
00:38:12A single white rose.
00:38:14That's perfect.
00:38:16This is a special occasion.
00:38:18There you are. Good night.
00:38:20Good night, Mr. Blunt.
00:38:22Enjoy yourself.
00:38:26Did I guess right?
00:38:28Is it your flower?
00:38:30From now on it will be.
00:38:32Would you like me to close it?
00:38:34And now to the popcorn.
00:38:36Yes.
00:38:54Do you think it will all be closed?
00:38:56I hope not.
00:39:00I never come here in the season.
00:39:02It's more pleasant in the winter.
00:39:04I don't know why.
00:39:06It's perhaps because you prefer to imagine
00:39:08how it will be in the spring.
00:39:10Because if it is spring,
00:39:12then there's nothing to imagine,
00:39:14nothing to wish for.
00:39:16Is there anything about me you don't know?
00:39:18A few things.
00:39:20For instance, I don't know if one day
00:39:22they'll make a wax figure of you
00:39:24and put you in there because you'll be so famous.
00:39:26Well, if they do,
00:39:28will you pay your penny to come in and see me?
00:39:30Yes.
00:39:40Now I see you as a little girl.
00:39:42You too?
00:39:46When my father was alive,
00:39:48we traveled a lot.
00:39:50We went nearly everywhere.
00:39:52There were wonderful times.
00:39:54I didn't know you traveled so much.
00:39:56Perhaps we've been to some of the same places.
00:39:58No, I don't think so.
00:40:00Where did you go?
00:40:02Well, it was a long time, but for instance,
00:40:04there was Rio de Janeiro.
00:40:06Beautiful, exotic Rio with its botanical gardens,
00:40:08its Avenue of Palms,
00:40:10Sugarloaf Mountain,
00:40:12and the harbor where you could look down
00:40:14and see the fine fishes.
00:40:16We're in Venice.
00:40:18Yes, we've arrived.
00:40:20Now, where would you like to go next?
00:40:22France, England, Russia?
00:40:24Switzerland.
00:40:26You and the lady, are you enjoying the trip?
00:40:28Very much. We've decided on Switzerland.
00:40:32There you are. Thank you.
00:40:34Oh, thank you.
00:40:36Switzerland.
00:40:38Switzerland.
00:40:40Switzerland.
00:40:56So, you were looking down at the flying fish.
00:40:58Then what?
00:41:00Aren't you going to finish the trip?
00:41:02Well, there weren't any trips.
00:41:04Do you mind?
00:41:06You see, my father had a friend in a travel bureau.
00:41:08My father worked across the street.
00:41:10He was an assistant superintendent
00:41:12of the municipal waterworks,
00:41:14and he used to bring folders home with him
00:41:16with pictures in them.
00:41:18We have stacks of them.
00:41:20And he used to say,
00:41:22when he was a child,
00:41:24and he would say,
00:41:26where shall we go this evening?
00:41:28And I would say,
00:41:30Veracruz, because it's a beautiful name.
00:41:32And then he would say,
00:41:34it's summer there,
00:41:36you don't want to roast like a coffee bean, do you?
00:41:38So you never did get there?
00:41:40No, it was just like our trip to the land of the midnight sun.
00:41:42What stopped you this time?
00:41:44The weather.
00:41:46I thought of India, but then father remembered
00:41:48that it was the rainy season.
00:41:50Your father was an expert on climates.
00:41:52My mother used to say that he knew what the weather was
00:41:54everywhere except home.
00:41:56What mountain is that?
00:41:58That's the Matterhorn.
00:42:00Have you climbed it?
00:42:02Tell me, when you climb up a mountain,
00:42:04what then?
00:42:06Well, you come down again.
00:42:16Tell me more about your father.
00:42:18Well,
00:42:20then he finally did go away.
00:42:22He had nicest eyes.
00:42:24Yes,
00:42:26I can see them.
00:42:28Why do you like to climb mountains?
00:42:30I suppose because
00:42:32no matter how high you climb,
00:42:34there's always a higher one.
00:42:36And you like to imagine that the other one's even more wonderful
00:42:38like the spring in the park.
00:42:40Now, you know far too much about me already,
00:42:42and I know almost nothing about you, huh?
00:42:44Except that you travel a great deal.
00:42:46End of the line.
00:42:48All change.
00:42:50All change.
00:43:04What now?
00:43:06Where haven't we been?
00:43:08We have no more countries left.
00:43:10Then we'll begin all over again.
00:43:12There you are. Thank you.
00:43:14Oh, thank you.
00:43:16We'll revisit the scenes of our youth.
00:43:44I don't know about them,
00:43:46but I'm going home right after this number.
00:43:48Me, too,
00:43:50even if they're paying me 50 kroner.
00:43:52I like to play for married people.
00:43:54They've got homes.
00:44:08You are a sorceress.
00:44:10Now and again,
00:44:12you are a sorceress.
00:44:14Now I'm sure.
00:44:16How else could we dance this way?
00:44:18Unless we've danced together before.
00:44:22And yet if we had,
00:44:24I should have remembered.
00:44:32Please.
00:44:42Please.
00:45:08Promise me something.
00:45:10Anything.
00:45:12I don't even know where you live.
00:45:14Promise me you won't vanish.
00:45:16I won't be the one to vanish.
00:45:40We are here.
00:46:10Who is it?
00:46:12Frank.
00:46:14Good morning, Mr. Frank.
00:46:28Good morning.
00:46:58Please be seated.
00:47:00It will just be a moment.
00:47:02Lisa?
00:47:04Leave it on.
00:47:06Someone wants to see it.
00:47:08A new costume.
00:47:10Looks like a good one.
00:47:14It won't take one moment.
00:47:20You will like this one, I'm sure.
00:47:22I'm sure.
00:47:28I like it very much.
00:47:32Very much.
00:47:34How did you find me?
00:47:36I'm a good detective, don't you think?
00:47:38You are.
00:47:46I'm afraid we'll have to
00:47:48put off our plans for tonight.
00:47:50I couldn't go away without seeing you.
00:47:52Where are you going?
00:47:54Milano.
00:47:56The orchestra is going.
00:47:58I'm going to play at La Scala.
00:48:00That's wonderful.
00:48:02I'd forgotten all about it.
00:48:04It won't be long.
00:48:06Just two weeks.
00:48:08The train leaves at 5.30.
00:48:10Do you suppose you could see me off?
00:48:12I'll try.
00:48:14I'll look for you then.
00:48:16Goodbye.
00:48:22Goodbye.
00:48:24You'll be there.
00:48:28How did it go?
00:48:30He wasn't interested in the suit,
00:48:32but Madame Spitzer
00:48:34could I leave a little earlier today?
00:48:36How early?
00:48:38About 5.
00:48:40Yes, sure.
00:48:44Congratulations, my dear.
00:49:08Stefan, the train is leaving.
00:49:10Just a minute.
00:49:12How long have you been standing here?
00:49:16I don't want to go.
00:49:18Do you believe that?
00:49:20I'll be here when you get back.
00:49:22Stefan, hurry up!
00:49:24I still don't know much about you.
00:49:28Do you like mystery?
00:49:32A woman like you exists,
00:49:34and I found you.
00:49:36That's mystery enough.
00:49:38Say, Stefan,
00:49:40the way you said it last night.
00:49:42Stefan.
00:49:44It's as though you said it all your life.
00:49:46Better hurry, sir.
00:49:48Yes.
00:49:50Stefan.
00:49:52Yes.
00:49:54Don't be long.
00:49:56I'll be back in two weeks.
00:50:02Goodbye.
00:50:04Two weeks.
00:50:20Two weeks.
00:50:22Stefan, how little you knew yourself.
00:50:26That train was taking you out of my life.
00:50:50Goodbye.
00:51:08He was a married man.
00:51:12Does he live here in Vienna?
00:51:16If we knew who he was,
00:51:18we would have accepted his responsibility.
00:51:24You won't tell us his name.
00:51:34But you haven't the means to take care of the child.
00:51:36We'll get along.
00:51:42It's your duty to tell us.
00:51:44When a man does the sort of thing...
00:51:46Goodbye.
00:51:52You may wonder why I never came to you for help.
00:51:56I wanted to be one woman you had known
00:51:58who asked you for nothing.
00:52:02My deep regret is that you never saw your son.
00:52:06There were times during those years
00:52:08I prefer not to remember.
00:52:10But this I can assure you.
00:52:12Whatever the cost,
00:52:14he loved me a thousand times.
00:52:16You would have been proud of him, too.
00:52:20When he was almost nine,
00:52:22as much for his sake as mine,
00:52:24I married.
00:52:26You know who my husband is.
00:52:28Johann Stauffer married me
00:52:30knowing the truth about us
00:52:32and about our child.
00:52:34Oh, how lovely. Thank you, Johann.
00:52:36What a nice birthday.
00:52:38This and Stefan home.
00:52:40You know,
00:52:42I'm not good at saying such things, but...
00:52:44Lisa, I want you to be as happy
00:52:46as you've made me.
00:52:48If I were really a deserving wife,
00:52:50I'd be ready on time.
00:52:54You are happy?
00:53:00You are?
00:53:02Why shouldn't I be?
00:53:06Let's say goodnight.
00:53:10Good night.
00:53:14Hello.
00:53:16Still another talent?
00:53:18He has a lot of talents,
00:53:20but not for finishing his milk.
00:53:22May I see it?
00:53:26Or for brushing his teeth.
00:53:28Made in Switzerland?
00:53:30Switzerland must be a very nice place,
00:53:32don't you think?
00:53:34Who gave it to you, darling?
00:53:36Herr Frank.
00:53:38He has a natural talent.
00:53:40For the harmonica?
00:53:42No, for music.
00:53:44Oh.
00:53:46Goodnight, Stefan.
00:53:48Goodnight, sir.
00:53:50Night, darling.
00:53:52Goodnight, mother.
00:53:58Mother!
00:54:00I'll be right down.
00:54:04Yes?
00:54:06First night I was home from school?
00:54:08What about it?
00:54:10When you went out, you let me sleep in your room.
00:54:12All right, it's a special concession
00:54:14because it's your first night home.
00:54:16But hurry, I'm late.
00:54:22In just a minute.
00:54:24There's no hurry.
00:54:26Goodnight, sir.
00:54:28Goodnight.
00:54:30You know, Stefan,
00:54:32it might be nice if you could say
00:54:34goodnight, father, instead of goodnight, sir.
00:54:36But I've always said it that way.
00:54:38I think you'd like it if you could manage a change.
00:54:40Supposing you said to me,
00:54:42goodnight, madam,
00:54:44it would sound pretty silly, wouldn't it?
00:54:46Now promise me that you'll go to sleep
00:54:48and not wait up for me.
00:54:50I promise.
00:54:52Will you bring me a program of the opera?
00:54:54I promise.
00:54:56Goodnight, madam.
00:54:58Goodnight, sir.
00:55:00After all, when a person treats you so much like his son,
00:55:02he is, in a sense, your father.
00:55:04All right, mother, if you say so.
00:55:06Goodnight.
00:55:18The course of our lives
00:55:20can be changed by such little things.
00:55:22So many passing by,
00:55:24each intent on his own problems.
00:55:26So many faces
00:55:28that one might easily have been lost.
00:55:32I know now.
00:55:34Nothing happens by chance.
00:55:36Every moment is measured.
00:55:38Every step is counted.
00:55:42Curtain.
00:55:44Curtain going up.
00:55:46Second bag.
00:55:48Curtain going up.
00:55:50Second bag.
00:55:52Look.
00:55:54Isn't that Stephan Bryant?
00:55:56He returned last week.
00:55:58A concert tour?
00:56:00Pleasure trip, most likely.
00:56:02The way he's burning himself up,
00:56:04it's a wonder he's still alive.
00:56:06Ten years ago,
00:56:08he showed great promise.
00:56:10Too bad.
00:56:12With that talent,
00:56:14he could have been a great pianist.
00:56:16Perhaps talent is not enough.
00:56:18Perhaps he has too many talents.
00:56:20Second bag.
00:56:22Third bag.
00:56:36You know the colonel and his cognac.
00:56:38General Hersindor was asking for you.
00:56:40You've made a conquest.
00:56:42My dear, you should have joined us.
00:56:52Suddenly, in that one moment, everything was in danger.
00:57:13Everything I thought was safe.
00:57:15Somewhere out there were your eyes and I knew I couldn't escape them.
00:57:20It was like the first time I saw you.
00:57:23The years between were melting away.
00:57:29I have a headache.
00:57:30No, please don't. I'll be all right if I lie down.
00:57:32Please stay here.
00:57:50Would you be kind enough to give my husband a message?
00:57:52He's in seventeenth.
00:57:53Not now, but after this act, tell him I have decided to go home and not to worry.
00:58:09Will you call my carriage, please?
00:58:11Yes, madam.
00:58:13The side entrance.
00:58:14Yes, ma'am.
00:58:19The life of a wise man is like enjoying life.
00:58:26Like enjoying life.
00:58:46Excuse me.
00:58:47You must realize where there is a pursuit, there must also be a pursuer.
00:58:52I've seen you somewhere. I know.
00:58:55I followed you upstairs and watched you in your box.
00:58:58But I couldn't place you.
00:59:01And I had to speak with you.
00:59:04I know how this sounds.
00:59:06I assure you, in this case, it's true.
00:59:09You believe that, don't you?
00:59:11Yes.
00:59:13Now please, just a moment.
00:59:15Is there any place we could have met?
00:59:17That I might have seen you?
00:59:19At one of my concerts.
00:59:21It must have been some time ago.
00:59:23I haven't given any concerts in Vienna lately.
00:59:26Or anywhere else, for that matter.
00:59:29You don't play anymore?
00:59:32It's not quite as final as that.
00:59:34I always tell myself I'll begin again next week.
00:59:37And then when next week comes, it's this week.
00:59:39So I wait for next week again.
00:59:41What are you waiting for?
00:59:44That's a very disturbing question.
00:59:46I can't.
00:59:47You can't ask such a question and just walk away.
00:59:50I have a feeling.
00:59:52Please don't think I'm mad.
00:59:54I know it sounds strange and I can't explain it.
00:59:57But I feel that you understand what I can't even say.
01:00:02And that you can help me.
01:00:06Have you...
01:00:08Have you ever shuffled faces like cards?
01:00:12Hoping to find the one that lies somewhere...
01:00:15Just over the edge of your memory.
01:00:17The one you've been waiting for.
01:00:21Well, tonight, when I first saw you...
01:00:23And later when I watched you in the darkness...
01:00:26It was as though I'd found that one face among all others.
01:00:31Who are you?
01:00:35Promise I'll see you again. I must see you.
01:00:38I don't know.
01:00:42Ah!
01:01:02Johan, you don't think I wanted this to happen?
01:01:05No.
01:01:09What are you going to do?
01:01:11I don't know.
01:01:14Lisa...
01:01:16We have a marriage.
01:01:18Perhaps it's not all you once hoped for, but...
01:01:21You have a home and your son and...
01:01:24People who care for you.
01:01:26I know that, Johan.
01:01:28I'd do anything to avoid hurting you, but I can't help it.
01:01:33And your son?
01:01:36Do you think you can avoid hurting him?
01:01:38He won't be harmed. I'll see to that.
01:01:42There are such things as honour and decency.
01:01:47I've told myself that a hundred times this one evening.
01:01:50You talk as though it were out of your hands.
01:01:53It's not, Lisa.
01:01:55You have a will.
01:01:57You can do what's right, what's best for you.
01:02:00Or you can throw away your life.
01:02:02I've had no will but his, ever.
01:02:05That's romantic nonsense.
01:02:07Is it?
01:02:09Johan, I can't help it.
01:02:11I can't. Please believe that.
01:02:13What about him?
01:02:15Can't he help himself either?
01:02:19I know now that he needs me as much as I've always needed him.
01:02:23Isn't it a little late for him to find that out?
01:02:26We're home, sir.
01:02:40Good night.
01:02:42Good night, sir.
01:02:58Lisa, if you do this, you can never turn back.
01:03:03You know that, don't you?
01:03:05Yes.
01:03:10I warn you.
01:03:12I shall do everything in my power to prevent it.
01:03:40Hello, darling.
01:03:42Wake up. It's time to go in your own room.
01:03:50Did you have a nice time?
01:03:52Yes, darling.
01:03:56Good night, Father.
01:03:58Good night.
01:04:00Did you hear? I just said it.
01:04:03Good night.
01:04:05Good night.
01:04:07Did you hear? I just said it.
01:04:09Yes, darling.
01:04:11Tell me about the opera. Was it exciting?
01:04:22How's that?
01:04:24You're wonderful.
01:04:26You're wonderful.
01:04:30You've always been a wonderful boy.
01:04:33You don't know how much that's meant to me,
01:04:36to be so proud of you always.
01:04:39I know it.
01:05:04Don't worry, Mother.
01:05:06You'll see. Two weeks will go like an express train.
01:05:10You're sure you're coming?
01:05:12Of course, I promised. You can even get my room in the village for me.
01:05:15I'll get you the same one you had last time, the one with the balcony.
01:05:19Didn't I tell you that compartment was quarantined?
01:05:25I'm sorry, ma'am, but this compartment has to be closed up.
01:05:29I'll take you to the next car for you.
01:05:31That's good. I'll be near the locomotive.
01:05:34I'll take the car.
01:05:39Do we have two locomotives on our train?
01:05:41We usually get along with one.
01:05:43But I'll talk to the engineer.
01:05:45How about that one over there?
01:05:47You can have two seats in there.
01:05:49He's traveling alone. He's being nice.
01:05:51Don't worry, ma'am. I'll take good care of him.
01:05:53We leave in about a minute.
01:05:55Better hurry and get going.
01:05:57You'll see better if you sit over here.
01:05:59And if you get chilly, put out the window.
01:06:01Yes, ma'am.
01:06:04Stefan, you know how I've longed so for your being home.
01:06:09And now I can't even explain it.
01:06:11Maybe someday, very soon, I'll be able to give you a reason.
01:06:15But now I just have to believe that it's for your own good.
01:06:19I don't mind going back so much, especially when you're coming so soon.
01:06:23I don't mind going back so much, especially when you're coming so soon.
01:06:27It'll be like two vacations.
01:06:29No doubt.
01:06:30Then I'll show you the new book we found since you were there last time, yeah?
01:06:33Better get out, lady.
01:06:41You write, Nip. Often, my child.
01:06:43Yes, Mother. But I can't write very often. Not in two weeks.
01:06:49Goodbye, Mother. Two weeks!
01:06:53Two weeks!
01:07:24Make way, please.
01:07:28Make way, please.
01:07:30What is it? What happened?
01:07:33Is someone hurt?
01:07:35No reason to get alarmed. They say it's a case of typhus.
01:07:38Typhus?
01:07:39Yes. Typhus. On the train.
01:07:54Yes, ma'am?
01:07:56Is Mr. Brand here? Stefan Brand.
01:07:58Brand?
01:08:02One moment, please.
01:08:04Fritz!
01:08:12Could you tell me, has Mr. Brand been here this evening?
01:08:15Oh, Mr. Brand is no longer a customer of ours.
01:08:18Not for some time.
01:08:20Mr. Brand these days is more likely to be found at the Ritz.
01:08:51Good evening, ma'am. I still have nice flowers left.
01:08:54I'm closing up, and I'll sell you a nice bouquet.
01:08:57Very cheap.
01:09:05I'll take those. The white ones.
01:09:09Don't bother to wrap them up, as a matter of course.
01:09:13I'll take those. The white ones.
01:09:17Don't bother to wrap them up, as a matter...
01:09:42of course.
01:10:06Now you can drive on.
01:10:34Stefan Brand is here.
01:11:35Well, this is a surprise.
01:11:37But I assure you, a very happy one.
01:11:40Well, John didn't prepare me for such a pleasant occasion.
01:11:45I thought last night...
01:11:47the darkness might have played tricks with my eyes.
01:11:51You're even more beautiful than I imagined.
01:11:54Very kind of you.
01:11:56Now, this is just the hour for a little late supper.
01:11:59Or is it too late?
01:12:01Well, it makes no difference. You're here.
01:12:03And as far as I'm concerned, all the clocks in the world have stopped.
01:12:06Excuse me a moment.
01:12:09John, I'm sorry to send you out so late.
01:12:11Would you go down to the corner and get a few things?
01:12:13We're going to have some supper.
01:12:15The usual things.
01:12:24John makes life possible for a hopelessly single man.
01:12:28She fascinates you too.
01:12:31You remember, the Greeks built a statue to a god they didn't know...
01:12:34but hoped someday would come to them.
01:12:37Well, mine happens to be a goddess.
01:12:39And you never found her?
01:12:42For years.
01:12:44I never woke in the morning, but what I said to myself...
01:12:47perhaps today she will come...
01:12:49and my life will really begin.
01:12:52Sometimes it seemed very near.
01:12:55Well, now I'm older and I know better.
01:13:02Even for yourself, you don't play anymore?
01:13:04Oh, I remember. Last night you were kind enough to be interested.
01:13:08I forgot. John locked it when I went away.
01:13:10Nowadays I'm away quite a lot of the time.
01:13:13I'll ask him for the key when he comes back.
01:13:17You're very lovely.
01:13:19Beautiful dress.
01:13:23How could you do that, give it up altogether?
01:13:26If you're so curious, I'll tell you.
01:13:29One night I came back to this room.
01:13:32I'd given a concert like all the others.
01:13:34Not better, not worse.
01:13:37Afterwards they said all the usual things.
01:13:40The things you say when you're not really convinced.
01:13:44So I happened to look in the mirror, this one here.
01:13:48The young prodigy was no longer young.
01:13:50Certainly wasn't prodigious.
01:13:54Since then I found other things to do.
01:13:56More amusing things.
01:14:02I knew last night.
01:14:04Didn't you?
01:14:24I haven't even offered to fix you a drink.
01:14:31Stefan.
01:14:32Yes?
01:14:34I came here, I have something to tell you.
01:14:36If it has to do with you, I'm very interested.
01:14:38It has to do with us.
01:14:40No, we can't possibly be serious this early in the morning.
01:14:43At least not without a glass of champagne.
01:14:45It won't take a minute.
01:14:49Champagne tastes much better after midnight, don't you think?
01:14:52Much better.
01:14:54I just came back from America.
01:14:56It's a fascinating country.
01:14:57The men are fond of money.
01:14:59And their wives are fond of Europeans.
01:15:01It must have been a wonderful trip.
01:15:03Do you travel a great deal?
01:15:08Well, I suppose you won't believe me.
01:15:10But I couldn't get you out of my mind all day.
01:15:14No, I don't believe you.
01:15:16If only I'd known you were coming.
01:15:18To tell you the truth, I never dared hope you could arrange it so soon.
01:15:22But you're so clever.
01:15:23You manage so beautifully.
01:15:25Do you know you're a very strange woman?
01:15:28Am I?
01:15:29Something you said last night keeps running through my mind.
01:15:34What was that?
01:15:36I'll tell you in just a moment.
01:15:38As soon as I get the ice.
01:15:41Are you getting lonely out there?
01:15:44Very lonely.
01:15:51I've come to tell you about us.
01:15:54To offer you my whole life.
01:15:57But you didn't even remember me.
01:16:28Take you somewhere, young lady?
01:16:30Anywhere at all?
01:16:33Makes no difference.
01:16:58I don't remember where I went.
01:17:01Time moved past me.
01:17:03Not in days or in hours.
01:17:05But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:09And I could think again.
01:17:11I went to my son.
01:17:13But it was too late.
01:17:15He died last night.
01:17:18I don't remember where I went.
01:17:20Time moved past me.
01:17:22Not in days or in hours.
01:17:24But in the distance it put between us.
01:17:27And I could think again.
01:17:29I went to my son.
01:17:31But it was too late.
01:17:33He died last night.
01:17:35Of typhus.
01:17:37Without even knowing I was there.
01:17:40Now I'm alone.
01:17:43My head throbs and my temples are burning.
01:17:47Perhaps God has been kind and I too have caught the fever.
01:17:52If this letter reaches you.
01:17:54Believe this.
01:17:56You ruined our child.
01:17:59If only you could have shared those moments.
01:18:03If only you could have recognized what was always yours.
01:18:07Could have found what was never lost.
01:18:10If only.
01:18:27If only.
01:18:30If only.
01:18:56If only.
01:18:59If only.
01:19:26If only.
01:19:53You remembered it.
01:19:56Yes.
01:20:15Lisa.
01:20:21Lisa.
01:20:26Lisa.
01:20:56Bring my things.
01:21:27Ready, gentlemen.
01:21:34If only you could have recognized what was always yours.
01:21:38Could have found what was never lost.
01:21:56If only you could have recognized what was never lost.
01:22:00Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:04Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:08Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:12Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:16Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:20Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:23Could have found what was never lost.
01:22:53I love you.
