[crash]
[A woman screams,]
[man]: Oh!
[gasping breath]
[urban rumor]
[exclamation]
[♪♪]
[jazz music]
[sigh]
[ding! dong!]
[He sighs,] - Ah!
[knock Knock !]
- Miss Pauline, I order you to open the door!
- I am naked, Mr, Pistole,
I get out of my bath,
Come back one day when Madeleine will be there,
- You owe me more than 3,000 francs in rent
for the past five months,
So pay me or I'll break down that door!
I'm going to break down this door!
Oh, I'm going to break down the door,
So there it is, I break the door!
- Come in !
- Ah well all the same! [sigh]
- I will explain to you,
- No, I'm not here for an explanation,
I'm here for a settlement! - Sit down, please,
- Yes, - Do you have a car, Monsieur Pistole?
- Yes, a small Citroën,
Because there are still tenants who pay me!
- Good, Has it ever happened to you
to leave it two months in a row in the garage?
- Oh, four years ago, when I broke my leg,
- Oh ! My poor ! Which ? - That one,
Looking to divert the conversation!
- No way,
During these two months, did you pay your taxes?
- Not for the car, I didn't owe them,
- Well, Monsieur Pistole, for two months,
July and August, we did not use your apartment,
We were with Madeleine in Pressigny-sur-Saône,
The apartment remained empty, as it were in the garage,
So that's already 1,200 francs that we have to deduct,
- Oh well, that makes,,, - What?
I know that deep down you are a good man, my
dear Monsieur Pistole, and I love you very much,
That's why you're going to give us a little time
for the 1,000 francs that we acknowledge we owe you,
- 3,000 francs! - Mr Pistol,
I speak to your heart and tell it,,,
- No, you won't tell him anything!
Save your lawyer's pleadings for the palace, Maître Mauléon,
I am not sensitive to eloquence,
On the other hand you are right, I am a good man,
Also, I'm gonna get you kicked
out ASAP before you owe me more,
next month's 600 francs, - Wait !
Do you know where my friend Madeleine is at the moment?
- No, but I'm not interested,
- Well, she went to meet Mr, Montferrand!
- What is this Montferrand?
- Pffft! Obviously !
Out of real estate, you don't know anything,
Mr, Montferrand is the biggest theater producer in Lyon,
Paris, Brussels,
Imagine that he summoned Madeleine
for his new play, Le Calvaire de Suzette!
[barking]
[hubbub]
[intriguing music]
- And tell me, for how long
are you registered with the bar?
- A year,
- And for a year, you have never pleaded?
- Me ? I do not stop, I have been pleading for half an hour!
- Well, listen, Miss Pauline,
I'm willing to wait another 48 hours,
But if on Monday you don't bring me my 3,000 francs,,,
- Ah, Madeleine! - Oh!
- Oh, Pistole, you come to ask us for money again?
- Oh, it would not miss that I bring you some!
- However, we would really need it,
- It did not work ? - No,
- What was I telling you ?
All right, off to the police station,
- What men can be despicable, Pigs !
- Oh, well, please! Go for it ! Insult me!
- Excuse her, Mr, Pistole,
it's normal for her to be a little nervous,
- Yes, well me, I am exasperated!
[sigh] Four times that
I ask you for my rents!
Four times you laugh at me!
- He didn't offer you a role? - Whether,
A maid, 10,000 francs a month,
- 10,000 francs? But then why this head?
- In your opinion ? - Hmm?
- He found me so much to his liking
that he offered me, in addition to the
role, to join him twice a week for an hour,
- At the theatre ? - No, you idiot!
In his bachelor flat, avenue Frochot,
- I understand better!
Good, 10,000 francs a month for two hours a
week, that's more than 1,000 francs an hour,
- You will excuse me, but I did not calculate,
Anyway, I refused and
when I got up to leave,,,
[sobs]
- What ?
- He threw himself on me,
He took me by the arm, he kissed me,,,
I screamed, we fought,
- My God ! - He knocked me down on the couch,
I bit him,
He let out a howl,
He had a crazy look, as if it amused him,
as if I excited him,
So I ran with all my might and ran away,
- My poor Madeleine,,,
What a story !
So why are you only coming now?
- I walked,
I needed to breathe, to think,
I am so disgusted, discouraged!
Me who thought I was finally getting out
of it, having a real role, in a good play,
- The important thing is that you escaped
to the advances of that bastard Montferrand
and that you refused to be his mistress!
You don't have a role, okay, but you,
at least, have a lover to console you,
- Yes, you're right, I have André,
So different,
At least he never thought
to make me his mistress, - It's even worrying,
Do you really think he has the idea of ​​marrying you?
I think he could have helped us pay the rent,
- You're crazy, He has no money,
- The son of Bonnard tires? - Yes, his father has millions,
But he only gives her 2,000 francs a month,
- But then, why doesn't he work?
- You know, André is not an asset, it bothers him,
But what can it do?
I'll make money from it,
And then he will give it back to me when his father dies,
- His father is dying?
- Not really, - These family sons!
Everyone works around them,
They're the only ones who don't care,
Really, pfff,,, - Pauline,
We met André together
and he fell in love with me,
I find it petty of you to bear a grudge against him,
- Anyway, let me go out with you
or with another, it's never me who is preferred,
- You exaggerate, - No,
[sigh]
There are women who were born for love stories
and those to whom we come to tell them,
That's my case,
[sad music]
I am the confidante, as in tragedies,
[ding! dong!]
- Andrew, - Hello, my little Madeleine,
- Come in, Pauline is there,
- But don't worry, she's leaving! Hello, Andre,
- It's not me who makes you leave at least?
- Oh, no, I have to do, - Where are you going ?
- Chez Boutrin, the crooked businessman on the 2nd floor,
The janitor told me that he was going to
be arrested, he will surely need a lawyer!
- Beware, he may have a couch at home,
- Don't worry, I can bite too!
[soft music]
- Follow me don't be afraid,
- What's this biting and couch thing?
- Oh, nothing about you, luckily,
- My little Madeleine, every time I come,
I am moved like a schoolboy,
Passionate about the desire to bring you only happiness,
- Stay in these feelings
and I will be the happiest of women,
- And I desire even better for you, Something else,
- What, my God? - Well,
luxury, comfort, the good life,
When I ring, it is you who come to open,
It makes me happy, because I
see you soon, but all the same!
- I don't need servants
to love you, André,
We'll think about all that when we're rich,
- Well, Madeleine, we will be,
- Your father is dead? - What ?
But no, poor man, - I beg your pardon,
- My father is cut out to live 100 years,
For the money to come, we have to resign ourselves
to do it differently, - Resign ourselves?
Theft ?
Blackmail?
Counterfeit money?
- But no, you have these ideas today!
Madeleine, my affairs are much worse than
you think, I have 400,000 francs in debt,
I have no more credit anywhere,
Dad just gives me money to lose at the races,
Life has become impossible, - Oh, yes, impossible!
- For two months that I love you,
I suffer from constraining myself, from watching myself constantly,
to impose a reservation on me, - I don't mind her,
- Me, she exasperates me, All my heart goes out to you
and at every moment, I have to hold myself back,
- Why, then ?
- I don't want to drag you into my troubles
and I don't feel like taking a
woman's life if I can't assure her of it,
- It's a very delicate feeling,
but the idea of ​​working, has that ever crossed your mind?
- What ? Bonnard tires? Oh no !
I've heard about it for 26 years! Let them die!
- It's not just tires in life,
- Of course, But I only feel a vocation:
of loving you,
- Obviously, it is not very lucrative,
- That's why I see only one way out,
- Which ?
- The beautiful marriage,
- What ?
- With a certain Berthe Courteil,
who has five million dowries,
If I marry her, my father gives me
back his respect, he pays me all my debts
and he puts another million in the trash,
What do you say to that?
- Listen, André, you are losing your mind,
Invite me to your wedding while you're there,
- But, Madeleine, it is you who are losing your mind,
What do you care if I get married,
as long as it is you that I love?
I'm not going to force you to take a rich lover,
I find it more elegant to sacrifice myself,
I'll show you my bride,
Finally, the one I'm talking about marrying,
- Do you already have his photo on you?
- But I brought it on purpose to reassure you,
Look at her and look at yourself,
Do you think it's possible for me to fall in love with this?
- The poor,
- Three weeks of honeymoon,
Not even ! I'll be fine with 15 days,
I come back and we organize our new existence,
- Our new existence? - Yes, as soon as possible,
you leave this small accommodation to settle in Passy,
- Passy? - The Courteils have a building on avenue Henri-Martin!
- The Courteils? - My future in-laws,
They give us the 5th floor!
No rent, another advantage!
We'll be five minutes apart,
I will come to see you regularly, we
will have at least one meal a day together,
The dream life! - The dream life?
- Yes, Finally, I will be able to love you without scruple,
without a second thought,
What are your plans for tonight ?
- Nothing in particular,
- Me, I dine with the Courteils,
but afterwards, I would like to see you!
And to forget in your arms the
sacrifice I am making for you,
My dear !
You don't want me to kiss you?
- I wouldn't want to make you late for dinner,
- Oh, yes, my God!
I can be there at 9:30, okay?
- HM hm, - So, anytime?
- See you later,
- I love you !
[upbeat music]
Ah! See you later, Miss Pauline!
- I just met André on the stairs, he was radiant,
- There is no reason to be sad,
he marries five millions and takes me as his mistress,
- What are you saying ? [sigh]
- I say that André is the last of the cads, you were right!
I'm a fool to love this man,
- Madeline! - Pauline, if I listened to myself,
I would delete myself, - What are you saying ?
You're crazy ? - But no !
I have the impression of being on a station
platform and that the train will never leave!
I haven't been able to be happy for 24 years,
Five years that my acting career has stalled,
My patience has limits,
- <“Patience is an art that is learned patiently, >»
- If you realized what our existence is,
you too would be done, - Excuse me,
but I don't have your reasons for wanting to end it,
- Not my reasons? Did he receive you well, your Boutrin?
- He confirmed to me that he was going to be arrested,
but I'm the 14th lawyer to offer him my services,
He is bombarded with requests! - You see ! And your loves?
- Fallow,
- And you still want to go on living?
- I would like to try a little more!
- Let's be clear, Pauline,
I'm a bad actress, you're a bad lawyer,
And nobody really likes us,
More a penny, no situation, We owe five rents,
Tomorrow we will be on the street, [sigh]
- Madeline,
But what are you doing ? - Let's be reasonable,
Let's kill ourselves! - You're annoying me at the end,
It's sunny, I'm going home quiet,
I bring us two sandwiches, - To what?
- Ham butter, And you, you say to me: "are we killing"?
You are too despotic at the end,
- I'm sorry, Pauline,
But I'm so sad,
[ding! dong!]
Gas or electricity: last summons before seizure,
- Good morning, - Hello miss,
Are you Miss Madeleine Verdier?
- No, here it is,
- What do we owe you?
- I am not a creditor, miss,
I introduce myself, Monsieur Brun, security inspector,
Miss, you had an appointment today at 2 a,m,
at M, Montferrand's in Neuilly? - Yes,
- And you were received by Mr, Montferrand himself?
- But yes, why?
- Mr, Montferrand died between 3 p,m, and 3:15 p,m,
- What ? - Montferrand is dead?
- You did not know it ?
- How do you want me to know?
- How did he die ? - Congestion for sure!
- Why do you say that ?
- He's such a bloody, excited man!
- Hum,,, You knew him well?
- I only saw him twice, but that's enough to realize,
- M, Montferrand may have died of congestion,
but it was complicated by a bullet,
which he received in the head,
- Well, he didn't steal his ball!
- Madeline!
- Did you hate him that much?
- But not at all ! She says it like that!
Because Montferrand had offered him a part in
his next play, But he did not keep his word,
That's it that's all,
- The victim's wallet is also missing,
A sum of 300,000 francs, paid
to Montferrand the same morning,
in the presence of his
accountant, was not found,
Theft seems to be the motive of the crime,
Mademoiselle, when you left Montferrand,
did he tell you he was expecting someone?
- No,
Our conversation was quickly interrupted,
- For what ?
- I was in a hurry, Night was falling,
- At 2:20?
- We had nothing more to say to each other,
- So that's it,
I just have to apologize, ladies,
However, we may disturb you again,
Mademoiselle Verdier especially,
As a witness, I would be obliged to you
not to leave Paris these days,
Ladies, - Good bye, sir,
- So, see you soon,
[door slam]
- When I told you
that we were going to have better days!
- Do you want to laugh? - No, Madeleine!
A man wants to abuse you,
An hour later, he was found murdered,
God is with you, that's obvious,
- You think ? - But yes !
You will be summoned to the courthouse,
the witnesses earn 12 francs a day,
It's already that, And then, in court, we're
going to talk about you, you're going to talk,
Your name will be in the newspapers! - Talk about an advertisement,
They're not bad, these sandwiches,
Where did you buy them? - Chez Pascaud,
Rue Monsieur-le-Prince, - Hum!
- So, are you better? Don't you want to die anymore?
- No, Put on your hat,
- Where are we going ?
- At the movie theater,
- You weren't supposed to find André?
- He thinks I'm not good
than to be a mistress whom one sees in secret?
Well, it's over, he
won't see me again,
It's decided Pauline, I'm going to
have success, money, consideration,
to be a great famous actress and
then they will marry me if I want!
[laughter]
[upbeat music]
[laughter]
[honk]
[hubbub]
[intriguing music]
- What is this ? - Good evening madam,
Security Inspector, - The police ?
- I just have a few questions for you,
about the ladies on the 6th floor,
- It does not surprise me ! Come in, sir,
There have always been comings and goings in the building,
[indistinct conversation]
[upbeat music]
[urban rumor]
[horn] [Pauline]: Oh, hurry up!
[pulsating music] - L'Intransigeant,
ladies and gentlemen ! Exclusively,
the latest revelations about the murder
of the famous producer Montferrand!
The Intransigent! The Intransigent!
Thank you Madam, The Intransigent!
- I thought it might be
an important piece of evidence,
- In effect, It's amazing,
I congratulate you, Mr, Brown,
And her friend who lives with her?
Miss,,, - Pauline Mauleon,
- Yes, Pauline Mauleon,
What was his attitude during your interview?
- Twice she prevented Miss Verdier from speaking,
Obvious moral complicity,
- But it's unheard of,
A young girl in her twenties, educated, pretty,
Did you tell me she was pretty?
- Very pretty, Actress !
- But who goes to a producer to assassinate and rob him!
[laughs] What's the matter with you, Stocky?
- No, nothing, Judge,
- Given the condition of the apartment,
they are clearly in poverty,
- But I dont understand,
she is not engaged, this little one?
- According to the concierge,,, Mrs, Jus,
a certain André Bonnard comes
to see her from time to time,
But there would have been a break on the very day of the crime!
[laughs] According to the janitor,
- Hold on, hold on, hold on, - And then there's the deposition
of Montferrand's valet!
- But where is this statement, Stocky?
- Bah,,, - Oh, it's not possible,
- There she is, [sigh]
- So,,, at 2 a,m,, he introduced Madeleine Verdier
at the victim's house, Mr, Montferrand,
At 2:20 a,m,, he went out for an errand, and at
3:30 a,m,, on his way home, he found Mr, Montferrand
with a bullet in the head,
So what do you think of that, Stocky?
- Montferrand is an old libertine,
who had endless mistresses, and we are in
the presence of a drama of classic jealousy,
an outraged husband who,,, - An outraged husband
who comes to kill his wife's lover?
- Yes it's possible ! - And who takes him
his wallet with 300,000 francs?
Finally, but be reasonable, Stocky!
- The judge asks my opinion,
- Well, that was a mistake,
Besides, my conviction is pretty well made,
I think like you, my dear Brun,
I think there is a series of coincidences here
which are more than unfortunate for this young girl,
What time is she called?
- At 4:15, Judge,
She'll be here in 15 minutes,
If I can express my opinion,
- Alright, I'm stepping down,
You don't need me anymore, Judge?
- Not at the moment, Mr, Brown,
[laughter]
Montferrand assassinated on Saturday,
today is Tuesday and we have the culprit,
Finally, the culprit,
This is a well done business!
- If one wants to,
- But what's wrong with you today, Stocky?
Is it your bladder again?
- No, Judge, This side,
I see a marked improvement,
- So much the better,
- If I don't share your enthusiasm,
is that the accumulation of the charges
that you suppose against this young girl
makes me dread a final and
resounding miscarriage of justice,
- Thank you for your concern, Stocky,
But this time, I will be circumspect,
I will fight fiercely against my personal
ideas and I will only accuse wisely,
Exonerate me from your worries
and bring in M, Palmarede,
- Well, sir, are you sure you want to hear it?
- Since I tell you that I will be impartial, Stocky,
- Mr Palmarede,
- Oh! My Gustav!
[chuckle]
Take ! What is happening to you ?
Are you kissing me anymore?
- This is not the friend you have in front of you today,
but it is the examining magistrate,
- Oh ! Let's go! And how is your wife?
- It's none of your business,
Sit down and answer my questions,
- As you wish,
- You knew Montferrand, didn't you?
- Yes, you know that,
- And last April, you did buy in Montferrand
a property in Neuilly, on the banks
of the Seine, valued at eight million?
- Yes,
- An agreement has been reached between you,
at the end of which you had to pay
him by providing him with a life annuity
of 500,000 francs per year,
- But why are you looking at your notes?
I told you that!
- Montferrand was only 62 years old
and a strong constitution,
So there was every chance that you
would pay him his pension for a long time,
- Yes, I admit that his sudden death
is one of the happiest events of my life,
- I'm not telling you,
- Gustave, where are you coming from?
- No being in the world had more interest than you
until Montferrand disappears,
Consequently, I cannot pursue
the investigation of this case,
without asking you about your schedule,
last Saturday, the day of the crime,
- Last Saturday,
I,,, I was having lunch at your place,
- Do you have any witnesses?
- You !
- Me ? It does not count,
since I can't question myself,
- Oh!
Bah,,, your wife, mine,
your servants, the janitor,
- Either, I will summon them,
- Summon your dog too!
He will be able to testify, he remained
lying at my feet during the whole meal,
- No irony, sir!
- So you had lunch at my place, - Eh yes,
- Type, clerk!
When did you leave me?
- Well,,, 5:30 am, right? But remember,
we played bridge all afternoon,
- Are you sure ? - Rabusset, are you becoming senile?
- <“You are becoming senile, >»
- But finally, do not write that, you!
And you, measure your words,
You're talking to a magistrate in the performance of his duties,
- But in the end, Judge,
do you suspect me of having killed Montferrand?
- But I would fail in all my duties
if I did not suspect you,
The assassination of Montferrand earns you seven and a half million!
- Finally, for God's sake, remember!
Before I left, your wife
served us tea at 5:00,
Montferrand, he was killed at 3 o'clock, right?
- But how do you know?
- Bah,,, it makes the front page of all the newspapers,
- Either, I admit you have an alibi,
but you can commit a crime by proxy,
- How so ? - You could have bribed someone,
Arm a criminal hand,
- Oh,,,
My poor Gustave, you should retire,
- <“Retire >”, - But don't write that, you!
And you, you're a fool! That, you can write,
- Oh, watch out, Gustave! I forbid you to insult me
in the performance of your duties,
- Palmarade, that's enough!
Look me in the face and answer me!
Yes or no, are you for something
in the assassination of Montferrand?
- For nothing in the world,
I swear to you, Judge,
on your wife's head,
- Thank you, I've always been convinced of that,
But it was essential that you confirm it to me,
Now withdraw,
I don't have time to waste with decent people,
Please, Trapu, have M, Palmarède sign his
deposition, and introduce Mlle, Madeleine Verdier,
- Who is this Miss Verdier?
- Professional secret,
All I can say is that with
her, I won't waste my time,
- Oh! She doesn't have an alibi?
- We'll find out, but I'd be surprised,
- Oh! Dear little one!
- You know her ? - Oh, not at all!
But if she is the assassin, she has all my gratitude,
Seven and a half million! - Miss Verdier,
- Hello, gentlemen,
- Delicious, on top of that!
Excuse me, Miss Verdier,
I am delighted to meet you,
And if my friend Rabusset's suppositions turn out to be
true, you can count on me until the end of your days,
Here's my card,
- Get out, my friend, - Yes,
I leave you, Judge, in this charming company,
- Yes, come on!
- Don't forget that you have supper tomorrow at home,
My alibi for an upcoming crime,
Looking forward to seeing you again, miss,
- Come on, outside,
- <“Palmarède, architect, project manager, >»
- Sit down, miss,
Thanks for bothering,
- You can bother me every day!
It seems that we have 12 francs a day,
- GOOD, How long have you been in a relationship
with Mr, Montferrand?
- I met him for the first time last Thursday,
- Where ? - At the Variety Theater,
I'm an actress, he noticed me and
wanted to take my name, my address,
And on Saturday morning, I received a letter
summoning me to his house at 2 o'clock,
- To offer you a role?
- I do not remember,
- Finally, see, miss, make an effort,
- Which means,,,
out of respect for the memory of this great producer, I
would have preferred to keep quiet, but if you insist,
- I insist,
- Well, your Montferrand is an old pig,
- Finally, miss,
- You want the truth, yes or no?
- But yes, continue!
- Mr, Montferrand jumped on me
and I did what any honest woman
would have done in my place: I ran away,
- And how long did you stay with Mr, Montferrand?
- A quarter of an hour, 20 minutes,
- But you got home at 5:15,
From Neuilly to rue Jacob, even on foot,
no more than an hour ago, What did you do ?
Did you go shopping? - No, I strolled,
- Take ! You told Mr, Brun that night was falling,
that you were in a hurry,
[sigh]
Do you recognize this weapon?
- Looks like my gun,
It was the gentleman from security who stole it from me?
- No, justice does not fly, miss,
She searches, - Oh,,,
- And why do you have a gun?
- Last year, I was an understudy in a play
in the depths of Levallois and I came home late,
- Oh yes ? A long time ago
that you did not use this weapon?
- Yes, But I almost used it, not so long ago,
- Oh yes ? And against whom?
- Against myself, Judge,
There are days when we are tired of living,
- However, you did not kill yourself,
- I didn't have that courage,
- And how do you explain
That a bullet is missing in this revolver?
- Missing a bullet? - Yeah, look,
Here is the sleeve,
- Ah, yes, I remember,
When I bought it, I wanted to see if I was shooting well,
So, one day in Pressigny-sur-Saône,
at a friend's house, I aimed for a bottle,
Piou! Hit in the middle of a mile!
- What if that missing bullet
hadn't gone through a bottle,
but was inside Montferrand's head?
[laugh]
- Well, I've never heard anything funnier!
- Shut up, Shut up !
And stop laughing and misleading justice,
I am going to tell you about the
drama of the Boulevard d'Argenson!
- Oh, yes, please me,
- Yes, I'll tell you!
Actress penniless, the bailiffs
follow one another at your door,
Tomorrow, it will be the seizure, the eviction, the street,
You wander aimlessly in Paris and your stomach cries out for hunger,
But you meet the famous producer Montferrand,
You cry misery, You pity him,
And he, desiring to help you,
because his goodness is infinite,
he summons you to his house on Saturday at 2 o'clock,
Around noon, by some means which still eludes me, you learn
that he has received 300,000 francs that very morning,
The tragic resolution imposes itself on your mind,
You take your revolver, you go to Neuilly,
The valet introduces you and goes on the run,
You are alone in front of the great producer,
in his deserted villa, in front of a magnificent swimming pool,
surrounded by a huge garden,
The caretaker's house is 30 meters away!
The occasion is favourable!
The money is there, at your fingertips,
He tempts you,
He attracts you,
You no longer resist, You shoot!
[black film music]
And here is one more criminal!
- What an imagination !
And I take away the 300,000 francs?
- Eh yes ! And the same evening, the joyful life begins!
You spend the evening at the cinema!
[romantic music]
Come on, confess, miss,
You're pretty, the jurors will be indulgent,
You'll get away with 20 years of hard labor,
Admit!
What is that ?
- It's L'Intransigeant, Judge,
- <“The crime of the Boulevard d'Argenson,
The 300,000 francs have been found,
They were in a mahogany box,
hidden under a double row of cigars,
Always the last informed, what!
Ah, these journalists are appalling!
- I feel like your version of the drama
doesn't hold up very well!
Can I withdraw and recover my 12 francs?
- No, miss!
The motive for the crime may be different,
but the charges against you remain the same,
- In this case, I will no longer answer
only in the presence of my lawyer, - But it's your right,
We'll find you one, - It's not worth it,
I have mine, master Pauline Mauléon,
[laugh]
- You claim not to be guilty
and you already have your lawyer as if by chance,
[ hubbub ] - So?
- It's getting complicated, I have to talk to you,
Rabusset accuses me of having killed Montferrand,
[inaudible murmurs]
- Hello, Master Mauleon, - Hello, Judge,
- Please sit down,
- Well then, it's always me who killed Montferrand?
- Absolutely, And the 300,000 francs being found,
it is no longer a heinous crime,
but a crime of passion, - Passionate?
- Three months ago, you were Montferrand's mistress,
- Come on, here's something else!
- Oh, it was just an adventure,
A man of that quality couldn't attach himself to
you, a little unknown actress, without talent,
- Thank you, that's too kind!
- you were angry, humiliated, maybe even pregnant,
- A boy, a girl, twins?
- Never mind ! In any case, over!
You return to Montferrand,
You say to him: “Take me back! >»
"No! >> He refuses,
"But I'm going to be a mother! >» <« Ha! Ha! Ha! >> He chuckles,
"Then give me a role!" >> And there he sends you back,
"Go away! >> So, you take out your revolver, you shoot!
Bang ! He collapses,
Seduced, abandoned, pregnant, you have excuses,
Verdict: five years in prison,
- Five years is better than earlier,
but that's still a lot,
- There is premeditation, miss,
The intention to kill is obvious,
- Because my client came with her revolver?
- Absolutely, Master Mauleon,
- But what proves to you that it was his?
- But she recognized him! - Excuse me, Mr Rabusset,
There is not only one revolver of this model in Paris,
Montferrand could own a similar one,
- You want me to believe that he committed suicide?
- No, Judge,
But it is not necessary for a woman
to be pregnant with a man to kill him,
She can come to his house in all
innocence and suddenly find herself
facing a bully who rushes at her,
Terrified, she grabs
a gun from the desk,
And, without thinking, to save his honor,
to save her life, she shoots! Ah!
[dramatic music]
What do you say to that?
- A bit melodramatic, - But possible,
- Acceptable,
- And she would have five years in prison, this woman?
- Not necessarily, self-defense,
Maybe not even a fine for carrying a weapon,
since the gun is not his,
- So it's me,
- What are you saying ? - I confess,
- Well, what are you admitting? - My crime,
It was I who killed Montferrand,
Handcuff me!
- Wait, wait, But are you sure?
- Certain! I killed him with his revolver,
that I brought home, rue Jacob,
- No, but wait, master Mauléon, you confirm?
- I confirm my client's confession,
- Ah, Stocky! What do you say to that?
- Oh yes ! Congratulations, Judge,
- My dear little one, you admit it!
I am the happiest of men,
- Me too, Finally, women!
Will they take me to jail?
- I'm sorry, but it's unavoidable,
- Do not apologize,
Our landlord was going to kick us out any day now,
- Oh, so, am I doing you a favor?
- Instead, - She's delicious,
- Miss, if you would like to sign
this series of statements that are contradictory to say the least,
- My pleasure,
[upbeat music]
[great music]
[man]: After the heinous bloody murder
committed by the Papin sisters,
and the parricide
of the poisoner Violette Nozière,
a new criminal case
is making headlines in the Parisian legal chronicle,
Again, this is a woman:
Madeline Verdier!
Defended by a young lawyer still unknown to the battalion,
[boos, whistles] - It's shameful!
Would have killed in his luxurious villa in Neuilly-sur-Seine,
the great producer Mr, Montferrand,
[intriguing music]
- Come in,
Follow me,
- Madeleine, my darling, are you crying?
- I'm not crying, I have a cold,
My cell is a sieve, full of drafts,
- At least we give you something to eat?
- Yes, I left nothing for the rats,
- My God ! You do not deserve that,
- Speaking of rats, have you heard from André?
- No, but are you surprised?
- Yes a bit,
Hope is a disease,
- Forget that clumsy end-of-race André!
And believe in your lucky star,
Everyone only talks about you
even in the news! - Ah good ?
- Yes !
Besides,,,
for when you're in front of the jury,
- You wrote my text? - Yes,
[intriguing music]
You can change some formulations,
- It's good, And my suit?
- You just dress,
The jurors do not appreciate the provocation,
- What do you think of my dress with buttons?
- Yes, it suits you,
But above all try to sleep, to gain
strength, to learn your text well,
- Forget my buttoned dress! - For what ?
- She is green ! - So what ?
- On stage, it brings bad luck,
[fast-paced music]
[hubbub]
- Gentlemen, you will have to answer
to the following three questions,
Firstly, is Miss Verdier guilty
of having killed M, Montferrand?
Second, did she act with premeditation?
Third, was the theft the motive of the crime?
If you answer yes to all three
questions, the accused will be convicted,
And the severity of his sentence will depend on
whether or not you grant him mitigating circumstances,
[man]: Murderer! - Silence !
We will now begin with the
questioning of Ms, Verdier,
- As I refused the 10,000 francs per month
that he offered me to play a maid, without
dialogue, and especially to be his mistress,
he started screaming:
"If it's like that, you won't have a penny!"
We are alone, I have removed my valet, >»
- Oh! It was he who had taken him away?
- Yes ! - Indeed, it is more logical,
more accommodating! [laughs]
- Silence !
Resume,
- So he calmed down and asked me to tell my life story,
my acting dreams,
At first he was courteous,
Then a terrible struggle ensued,
<“You can shout, call, no one will come! >»
He knocks me down on the couch,
I bite it,
By a supreme effort, I tear myself away from him, half-naked,
- We found, miss, only your hat,
- Please, Advocate General,
stop interrupting! - Carry on, miss,
- I want to run away,
The door is locked,
Montferrand joins me,
And, suddenly, on the desk,
I see a revolver,
This one !
[audience exclamations] - Sorry!
You told M, Rabusset that this revolver was yours
and that you had tried it in Pressigny-sur-Saône,
at a friend's house,
- When my client spoke to Mr, Rabusset,
she was only a witness,
So his word didn't matter,
Now she is accused and she is telling the truth,
- I swear ! This revolver was that of Montferrand,
How did it get in my hand?
How did I shoot? I do not remember,
All I can tell you,
it's that I vaguely heard a detonation
and then I saw a man lying down,
I didn't think it was that big!
I took two candlesticks,
I put them on the floor, on either side of his head,
- Candlesticks? We haven't found them,
[small laugh] - Ah yes, it's true, sorry,
I confuse it with another crime,
[laugh]
- Did you kill another person?
- No, No, no, it's just the memory of an old movie,
- Oh! [sobs]
- Take it again, miss, Resume,
- Then terrified,
I backed up to the French window and fled,
- By taking the gun?
- Of course, since Mr, Brun found it at my house!
- All this is plausible,
But there is something wrong,
- What ? - We found the 300,000 francs,
but Montferrand's wallet has not been found,
[audience]: Oh!
- Are you sure, Mr, President?
Is it proven that he had it on him?
Maybe he put it on his bedroom fireplace or,,,
- In the pocket, - In the pocket of another jacket,
- And in the mess that followed the crime,
one of his servants stole it?
- Absolutely, - Oh ! What talent !
But what a wonderful actress!
[applause]
[boos, whistles]
- Silence !
Silence or I'll clear the room!
- I could see that these two young girls
lived in poverty,
It was very difficult for them to pay their rents,
So, with my big heart, even if my
wife scolded me a little from time to time,
I was understanding, I never had them expelled,
- Mr Pistole, are you sure
that it was your big heart that prevented
you from expelling these young girls?
Isn't it rather
because they paid you in kind?
- Oh ! - Mister President !
It's a shame to insinuate such things!
- Mr, Advocate General, thank you for not implying
facts without providing evidence,
[sigh]
- Thank you, Mr, President,
- These ladies received a lot, especially the actress!
Ah! Anyway, I didn't notice anything noticeable,
Oh yes ! There was a,,, a regular, this M, Bonnard,
Very polite and well mannered, but hey,
having a relationship with a light actress,
- It's the janitor, Mrs, Jus,
who opened the door for me with a spare key,
while these young ladies were at the cinema!
Very quickly, I found the revolver,
posed on the dresser of the room,
and that's when I could see that there was,,,
only one bed for these two people,
[public dismay]
- What do you mean, Mr, Brown?
- That you share the same bed!
[woman]: What is he implying here?
- The lawyer and the criminal in hot water!
[laughs] - An unnatural relationship?
It's interesting,
That could explain a lot of things
about this crime, this hatred of men,
- Gentlemen, you should be ashamed,
you who have never known misery and
do not know what crisis and poverty are,
Yes, we shared the same
bed, to keep us warm!
How can you do otherwise, Advocate
General, when your electricity is cut
and you lack space?
A little heart, gentlemen of the jury,
And leave these mediocre insinuations to
these wretched men! [woman]: Well done!
[cheers] - Silence, Silence ! Silence !
- I would first like to say, Mr President,
that during these three
months, little by little,
I have measured the infamy of my conduct,
At the moment when I announced my marriage to
her and when I proposed to her, so to speak,
to become my mistress,
Madeleine had just killed a man,
because he had disrespected her,
Madeleine, why did you spare me?
[whispers in the room]
- I can't kill everyone,
[laughs] - I wasn't even worth a bullet?
You despised me too much, didn't you?
- No,
You, I loved you, [audience]: Oh,,,
- If you knew how much I blame myself for having damaged this love,
At 9:30 in the evening, when I couldn't find you, I said to
myself: "There's something, I must have made a mistake, >»
Then two days later, I read your arrest, your confession,
And I was ashamed,
Madeleine, I beg your pardon,
- No, please, young man,
you are not at the Comédie Française,
get up, [laughs]
- Mr, Bonnard, did you suspect
that Miss Verdier was a criminal?
- No,
- Did you know she was an actress?
- Yes,
- Do you think she lied to you?
- No,
I believe she was sincere in her feelings,
- And did she know that you were the Bonnard son,
from a wealthy family of French tire manufacturers?
- Of course,
- And do you think she could have been interested
by your financial situation?
- All that was secondary between us,
And besides, she encouraged me to
work so as not to depend on my father,
- Of course, since she was coming to recover
Montferrand's 300,000 francs!
- Rookie mistake, Advocate General,
You forget that the 300,000 francs
were found in Montferrand's cigar box,
[crowd]: Oh!
- The debates on the facts are closed,
Advocate General, you have
the floor for your submissions,
- Gentlemen of the jurors,
we have been sitting together for a week,
We're getting to know each
other and I know you won't accept
that such a crime remains unpunished,
Because we live in terrible times,
Read the newspapers!
The press accuses me, me,
representative of the general interest,
guarantor of the public good, to
unleash myself against this little one,
to want to make an example of it!
Because as the criminal is a pretty woman,
it is obviously the victim who is wrong,
Well, gentlemen, I answer them:
<“Yes, I want to make Miss Verdier an example! >»
Because I think of all the others,
of all those who will kill us tomorrow!
For some years,
the women suppress us with a lack of embarrassment,
a casualness! And do you know why?
Because each time, they are acquitted!
Ha! Ha! [audience reaction]
Well, I've had enough,
And I demand, unanimously, the ultimate punishment,
[room]: Oh!
- The one who kills
deserves death,
I know what I say, I'm married, and my wife
swore to me that if I ever cheated on her,
she would slit my throat with a razor,
Well, gentlemen of the jury, you must
divert my wife and yours from this idea,
We must scare them!
And condemn this Madeleine Verdier to the death penalty!
[boos and cheers]
[disturbing music]
- The floor is with the defence,
- Like Judith,
Charlotte Corday,
Medea or Lucretius,
Madeleine Verdier wanted to make us
understand, by her gesture of self-defence,
that since no one is there to defend us,
let us be ourselves, ladies, our own guardians,
And let's not hesitate to kill whenever
our conscience commands us to!
Madeleine Verdier killed to defend herself,
To save his virtue,
For, honest girl, she could not submit without
protest to the outrages of that brute Montferrand,
- You call that protesting? A ball in the head
with his own gun! - Sir !
Any protest is a call for absent justice,
Madeleine Verdier by committing her crime,
wanted, in a dominated French society,
plagued by men, protest
against all injustices
do to us, women, considered
minors for our rights,
but major for our faults!
[cheers] [woman]: Well done!
- Accused, stand up,
As the law provides,
would you like to express yourself one last time
before the deliberation of the jurors?
- Yes, Mr, President,
- We are listening to you,
- Gentlemen of the jurors,
you who are men, only men,,,
and who will decide my fate,
I would like to speak through you,,,
Women's,
To your daughters,
to your mothers,
That to your wives,
to your sisters,
I want to tell them that through my crime,
I unwittingly defended
our own cause,
that of women,
alone, poor and honest,
that society feeds to the
bestial instincts of men,
I never thought I would have to kill to defend myself,
until the day when, unfortunately,
I met a man, who
wanted to abuse me,
rape me
and make me his object of pleasure,
So yes, you will tell me, I am an actress,
dependent on looks,
desires,
of the goodwill and power of men,
But isn't it possible
in 1935,,,
to pursue her career,
her life as a woman,
without restraint,
freely,
in full equality?
[woman]: Bravo, Madeleine! [cheers and boos]
- Silence ! Silence ! [bell]
Silence, silence! [woman]: Bravo, Madeleine!
[soft music]
[upbeat music]
[sighs]
[ding! dong!]
- For Miss Verdier!
- Again ? They are beautiful, those, Who sends them?
- An admirer, probably the president of the assize court!
- No, he's not paid well enough, he can't afford it,
Thank you, Mrs, Juice, - Han!
For 40 years, I didn't dare kill my husband!
If I had known,
- <“It is in the midst of thunderous applause
that the president pronounced
the acquittal of Madeleine Verdier,
The lovely defendant was quite pale,
- L'Écho de Paris wrote that you were red with emotion,
- It's normal, each newspaper has its own opinion,
“When she appeared, a long ovation was given to her, >»
- Here's a bad one,
"The Verdier girl is more successful
in crime than in the theater!"
The scandalous success given to the
murderess of the unfortunate Montferrand
is a new mark of the
abjection of a decadent society,
who carries a bad actress in triumph,
only because she killed a man, >»
- Yes, a little less good, we won't keep it,
And Le Figaro, have you read it? - Yes, it is one of the best,
- Overall, I have very good press,
- Me too, Someone says I've talked too much,
But hey, he's a colleague,
- You were incredible, my Pauline,
You wrote me such a beautiful monologue,
it is to you that I owe my triumph,
Oh ! Paulina! - What ?
- A producer wants to return to the theater
The Calvary of Suzette with me!
He asks me to come and see him urgently at his office,
- Be careful, He must have a sofa,
like everyone else, - Don't worry,
they will be suspicious now that they know
what I am capable of! Interview requests,
- Madeline!
The producer Mr, Natan from Pathé-Natan
offers you a role in his next film
Bitter Tears of Marie Antoinette,
- And the management of the Normandy-Hotel
offers me an apartment in the eye for the whole month of August,
- Say, you wouldn't mind moving,
find a more suitable apartment with running
water, bathroom, elevator and telephone?
- I would like to, Pauline, but we have the proposals,
not the money yet, - It's true,
- Oh, Pauline,,,
life seems so different to me now,
There's nothing like
success to make you happy,
This is what Danielle Darrieux said in Cinémonde,
♪ Happiness is so little ♪
♪ That always its reality
♪ Makes you think of the scent of roses ♪
♪ As well as their fragility ♪♪
[ding! dong!] - It must be the young reporter
of Paris-Soir! He is cute,
I promised him that you were going to answer a few questions,
[sigh] Please!
[door] Hello, Gilbert!
- Hello miss,
- I'm listening to you, - I am so happy
to be the first to collect your impressions,
the day after these historic days,
Thank you for hosting me, - You are welcome,
- So, Miss Verdier, Is this good
the first time you kill? - Yes sir,
- And do you have any remorse? - Not the least,
- But when you saw Montferrand's body
collapse in a pool of blood,
what exactly did you feel?
- A form,,, of pride, - Oh !
The word is Cornelian, - Hum!
- Did he say any words before dying?
Did he ask your forgiveness? - It wasn't worth it anymore,
[small laugh] - What a spirit!
And you, Master Mauléon, should you also be proud?
- Oh no, me, sir, I didn't kill anyone,
- Oh, don't be modest,
You have your part in this triumph,
Your argument was splendid,
- That's a word that makes me happy!
- And what are your plans now, Miss Verdier?
- I don't know yet, I have so many proposals,
I will examine all of this, - Delicious !
Ladies, thank you,
I am going to write, thanks to you, a marvelous paper,
[not in the hallway]
- Andrew? - Oh, but I recognize it,
He is the witness of the trial! - Yes, André Bonnard, 26 years old,
who thought he knew all about
women, but who is just a fool,
unable to recognize the purest, most
respectable and sublime of women,
- Interesting, - Sir, I would ask you
not mention it in your article,
- Take it easy, miss,
my job is to be indiscreet, but I
know how to impose limits on myself,
- Shall I take you home? - It's him
who is taking over from Bonnard tyres?
[door slam]
- Andrew, what does that mean?
- Madeleine, I really thought about it:
a woman who goes as far as crime to remain honest,
we don't offer her an affair, we marry her!
- But you're already married! - No !
The marriage with Berthe has been postponed,
and the Courteils will never see me again,
[soft music]
[sigh] Madeleine!
What do you have ?
- Those flowers, those cheers,,,
All these plays, film projects,
and then you who come back!
Oh, that's too much! - Madeleine, darling,
- Your father, what will he say?
- He'll be furious, he won't give me a penny anymore,
But what can it do?
I am ready to make any
sacrifice for you, even to work,
- Pauline, André is marrying me,
And it will work!
- Decidedly, your crime works miracles!
[Bell]
[drum roll]
[aggressive hubbub]
[crowd]: Death! To death !
- Ouch!
- I beg your pardon, but I didn't do it on purpose,
[heavy music]
[shouts from the crowd]
[slicing]
[dark music]
- Long live the Republic !
[crowd]: Long live the republic! Long live the revolution !
- Long live the revolution !
[man]: Cut!
Cut!
End of the day !
- Oh dear dear dear,,,
[sigh]
[soft music]
- Well done, beautiful, - Oh thank you !
- It was fantastic ! - Congratulations, Madeleine!
- THANKS ! - What emotion !
- Thank you so much, See you tomorrow !
- See you tomorrow,
- How's your neck?
- I hope I don't have torticollis,
I'm so nervous for tonight,
- But do not worry !
When I went to the theater yesterday
to get tickets, there was no more space
for The Calvary of Suzette,
[door creak] [reporter]: A smile!
[intertwined voices]
- No, but leave her! - I'm in a hurry,
I'm playing at the theater tonight!
- Go! Go! Go !
- Ladies, please!
Ladies, sorry, Ladies,
- April 27,
Your dad is amazing!
He fixes your marriage with Berthe without telling you?
What's got into him?
- He needs money, In addition to Berthe's dowry,
Father Courteil is ready to put a million
in his business! - I thought the tires,,,
- You know well, they suffer from the crisis and the strikes,
And dad made some bad speculations, so,,,
- So, to bail himself out, he's calling you for help?
- Yes, but I don't walk anymore,
I do not want to see him any more, - Oh no !
I don't want you to get angry with your father because of me,
- But there is no other solution, - But if,
You just have to think,
- Are you going to kill someone again?
- We'll see,
[soft music]
[hubbub]
- THANKS,
- Oh,,, - Hello, Simone,
are you doing well ? Not too nervous?
- Yes, but stage fright, you'll see, comes with talent,
- You exaggerate, - I am on my knees,
- What's happening to you? - It's Emile,
- Your husband ? - No, my lover,
Emile Bouchard! - Oh! Is he cheating on you?
- Alas no ! - He beat you?
- Oh, he has no interest! - Well, then?
- I wonder if I should kill him,
- But what an idea! Why is that ?
- He bores me!
- Reason is not enough,
- Oh sorry ! He can't stay
more than a quarter of an hour without wanting to climb on me!
- And you don't like it, Simone?
- With another, I do not say no,
So I said to myself:
<“Little Madeleine killed a man who wanted
to abuse her only once, she was acquitted,
Me, as with Emile it's day and night, it
seems to me that I would have my chances, >»
- But your story has nothing to do with mine, Simone!
Montferrand was not my
lover, yours fulfills his duties,
[sigh]
[ringtone] Is your Émile in the room?
- Front row, of course,
Suzette, a daughter can have no better guide than her mother,
so believe me and don't make my mistake,
The path of love is called sacrifice,
[crowd exclamations] Feelings don't matter!
By marrying this man, your
status as a woman finally rises,
A new life begins, wealth,
happiness are possible,
- No, mother, without love,
my ordeal will be endless,
[applause]
[spectator]: Well done!
- Cheer !
[cheers]
Simone!
- Cheer ! - Cheer !
[hubbub]
- They should beware, - From Madeleine?
- Oh no, from me! - Don't be jealous, André!
Madeleine is a great actress now,
It's normal to be complimented,
- Hey, ho, I was before,
[André]: Do you think she's playing me?
[Pauline]: But no, - Congratulation,
[Pauline]: You have to get used to it, She is
a celebrity, she will be more and more coveted,
- That's enough ! Hands off ! - Simone, kiss me!
Just a little kiss! - No, please!
Hold on, Oh, you are going to kill me!
- Miss Verdier!
- Still no need for work, Miss Verdier?
- Not really, we moved in
with my friend Pauline in a mansion in Boulogne,
- Oh! Do you have running water?
- Of course, - But the pressure is good?
- Just right,
- But I'm sure there are still some pipes
review, right? - I'll think about it,
- In any case, I owe you my new fortune,
If you wish, I would love to receive
you at my new Parisian address,
Avenue Frochot! - Hum!
This address tells me something,
- Wait for me, I'll be back,
- It is a former property of the late Montferrand,
- Ah, I see, his bachelor pad!
- Yes ! - Hmm,,,
- Can you introduce me?
- Mr, Palmarède, architect and project manager,
My future fiancé, André Bonnard,
- Oh, congratulations, young man, your choice honors you!
But Bonnard, like the tire? - Yes sir !
- All my condolences,
I have seen the chaotic stock market and
the social climate of the past few days,
I hope the Bonnard action isn't too much of a drag,
- Thank you for your concern, but rest assured,
<“With Bonnard tyres, always further,
even faster! >»-Simone! Simone!
- Amusing, Let's hope this slogan motivates the workers
and benefits Bonnard shares,
[light music]
- Good morning,
- Slept well ? - Yes,
- André didn't sleep there? - No, he is too well brought up,
he is waiting for the wedding night, - Are you sure you want
wait that long? - Yes, since I love him,
- What is it, Celeste?
- A visit for Mademoiselle Verdier,
- Odette Chaumette,
That sounds familiar, You know, do you?
- At all, - Me neither,
Tell him I don't have time,
- The lady insists on seeing you, miss,
- Well, insist on her leaving,
- Fine, miss,
- It was good yesterday, it rained,
How do you feel after such success?
- Relieved and reassured,
Since the assizes, I have more confidence in myself,
Thanks to you, dear master!
Are you pleading today? - No, not today,
12 cases in one month, the criminals will have my skin!
- Excuse me, but the lady, she doesn't want to leave,
She wrote something for you,
- Another one of those fanatics!
- Oh ! [Pauline]: What is it?
- Read,
- My God ! - It had to happen,
- What does she want with you? - I don't know,
but it is appalling, - We must receive it,
Make her wait, Celeste! - Good, miss!
[whispered]: She's here, she's here!
- Hello, my dolls! - Good day Mrs,
- Here, the lawyer is there too, Ha! What a smoker, that one!
- Sorry to be here! - So it's you?
- Yes, it's me, Odette Chaumette in person,
Montferrand Slayer, the real one, the only one,
- And what are you doing here?
- So that's admirable! What am I doing here?
You think I'm going to let myself be fleeced without saying anything?
Mine the turbine, your the cake?
No, my dolls, I've had enough, I am a good nature,
but there are limits, - I don't understand,
- But look at this palace!
This luxury!
Oh ! And this dressing gown, - Well ! You are welcome !
- I read the newspapers, before the crime,
you lived in a sordid one-bedroom apartment on rue Jacob,
You have climbed well since I descended Montferrand!
- Madam, this luxury, as you say,
is the fruit of our labor!
- During this time, I'm in the mash,
It's not fair! Rewards should go to those
who deserve them, You stole my crime
you'll have to give it back to me! - Excuse me ma'am,
but what proves to us that you are well
Montferrand's killer? - Oh,,,
- What is that ?
- Montferrand's portfolio,
Miss Lawyer, With his initials,
voter's card and driver's license,
How did I get it? In your opinion ?
- That's pretty conclusive, So it's you!
- Yes, my pretty, - Well, then explain to us
how you killed him,
I've been telling it for so long
how I would like to know! - All right, sit down,
[intriguing music]
As you know, I am a great tragedian!
- Are you an actress too?
- Oh, that's it, I'll give it to you,
you were in The Wonderful Flute by Max Linder,
- I shot more than a hundred films, miss,
Misters Feuillade, Gance and the great
Alice Guy gave me my most beautiful roles!
- Is she a silent actress? - Yes, she didn't pass
speaking cape, - I knew Montferrand
since my acting debut, - In the last century ?
[laughs] - Please!
My first screen appearance dates
back to 1905 in Innocente Amélie,
Montferrand was then only my vulgar chauffeur,
Over time, in the shadow of my
successes, he became a great producer,
theater director,
And he was also a lover of mine,
Crude, I grant you, but regular,
And for ten years, he led me on a boat,
promising me a big comeback on stage, in vain,
- And that's why you killed him?
- Among other things, yes,
I visited Montferrand, knowing that he had
just received a sum of money, 300,000 francs,
A trifle for him, [Pauline]: So what?
- So he receives me, We chat a bit,
And I beg him to lend me a little sorrel,
Annoyed, he runs to his office, takes his revolver
and ask me to leave!
Here it is,
The instrument of the crime! [small laugh]
More proof! So, in a way, I
was,,, I was in self-defense,
So I approach him to reassure him and seduce him,
I remind him of the glorious memories of our beginnings,
of our youth,
Under my spell,,, [chuckle]
he lets himself go,
And I don't know what happened,
The shot went off on its own, here is Montferrand on the ground,
a bullet in the head, and me very annoyed,
It is true that it was the first time that I killed,
- Pauline, did you suspect that it happened like that?
- No way, But please, lady, go on,
- So I looked everywhere for the 300,000 francs,
Nothing, Must be twisted to hide his sorrel
in a cigar box,
So as not to leave empty-handed, I took his wallet,
but he only had 900 francs in it,
[Madeleine]: You were really unlucky,
- Yes ! That's why I want to catch up,
And you showed me how to do it,
Of course, if you had been sentenced to death, I
would have continued to close it, But as long as it's
the acquittal, the cake and that it becomes honorary
to have zigouille this rascal of Montferrand,
I would be a fool not to report myself!
- But, my dear lady, your case is not at all
the same as that of Madeleine,
You will have at least 20 years of hard labor,
- Why, then ? - Madeleine was acquitted
because she defended her honor!
- Me too, - Madeleine was a virgin!
- Me too, well,,, sort of,
- The jurors are going to have a good laugh!
- I would say that Montferrand never stopped abusing me,
that I was his sex slave!
I can certify that I didn't kill him to
steal, because we found the 300,000 francs,
- And the wallet? - I won't show it,
- Then you won't be able to prove
that you are the killer, - Then I'll show it,
I will say that I took it back,
because it contained love letters,
- You wrote her love letters?
- No, but I can do it, [sigh]
- She has the answer to everything, - In effect,
I have to admit it holds up,
She can plead the crime of passion,
- So, do you want to be my lawyer?
- Well,,, - Pauline!
- No, a lawyer cannot defend two defendants
for the same crime, - That's a shame,
You have talent, You have pleaded very well
for your friend, And then, a pretty woman,
it pleases the jury, it suits him well,
- I'm not pretty, Madame Chaumette,
- Don't say that! To me, I like you,
- Finally, Madame Chaumette, what are your intentions?
What are you planning to do?
- It's quite simple, I no longer have a circle,
more work, career, I eat every other day,
I have nothing more to lose,
Tomorrow morning, I will be at the public prosecutor's office!
- You're not going to do that! - Yes, my pretty,
Unless,,, - Unless?
- Let's settle, Give me a little compensation,
- Yes, I'm beginning to understand,
- My crime has done you a great service!
Well, services are paid for,
- How much ? - Oh ! Cheap,
300,000 francs, the amount Montferrand should have given me,
- We do not know it ! We are here renting on credit,
- Oh, if you take the trouble, you will find them quickly,
- Maybe, but I refuse to bother!
- Madeline! - Take care!
Odette Chaumette has only one word,
- You don't scare me! - Madeleine, you're crazy,
- No ! Let her go to the prosecutor,
- So you refuse my transaction?
- Yes, she does not interest me,
Celeste, take Madame Chaumette home,
[sigh]
- <" Sublimely, heroically,,,
assassin of Montferrand, >> Oh!
- Madam, the flowers! - Read the newspapers tomorrow,
and you will understand that these flowers are for me,
[dramatic music]
- Goodbye, Madame Chaumet, - Chaumette, Odette Chaumette,
- We're finished! I'm going to be struck from the bar,
and you, your career, André, is over!
- Stop the wailing, I'm sure she's bluffing,
- No, she has nothing to lose!
An actress at the end of the race who awaits
her hour of glory before dying on stage!
- I understand, it's hard to grow old,
especially for an actress,
She was so beautiful in The Wonderful Flute,
- She is still good for her age, she has some dog,
- A compliment and you are seduced!
[knock-knock!] - Mr, Gilbert Raton,
reporter for Paris-Soir,
would like to see you both,
- Has La Chaumette already spoken? - Not impossible,
but it is better to have the press in our pocket
given the situation, Bring him in, Celeste,
- Fine, miss, - You're still flirting
with this reporter? - Oh, he's a kid,
He's funny, Hello Gilbert,
To what do we owe your delicious presence?
- Hello, ladies, thank you for having me,
I wanted to collect your first impressions
following the tragic drama of the night,
- What drama? - You don't know?
- No, tell us, - Your mother,
- My mother ? - Finally, your mother at the theater:
Simon Bernard, - What ?
- She murdered her lover, Émile Bouchard, last night,
- Oh ! She did it,
- You knew it ? - She had spoken to me about it
like a vague project, but,,,
I believe my crime is turning your head
of all women! - By the way, she said
that you were her model and that
she would no longer express herself
only through your voice, Maître Mauléon,
- Pauline, she takes you as a lawyer!
- One more, - Can you, master,
give us exclusively the axis of your
defense for Mrs, Simone Bernard?
- The terrible condition of women in the 20th century,
I only see that! - Uh, can you elaborate?
- Do you find yourself normal, Mr, Raton,
that women doing equal work do
not receive the same pay as men
and that they still have not acquired the right to vote?
- For the salary, the women have fortunately
that of their husband! - And how do we do
if we don't want a husband? Or if we killed him?
- Yes, that's a good point,
As for the right to vote,
do you really think he would have prevented
Simone Bernard or Miss Verdier to commit their crimes?
- As my colleague Yvonne Netter said:
"Women will only get what they want
only with the vote! >» - And what will you answer
to gentlemen radical-socialist senators
who claim that giving women the right
to vote, as in Germany, would lead us
to install an Adolf Hitler in power?
- I reply to them that as long as equal rights
and possessions between the sexes
will not be established and respected,
the Earth will not turn round, Mr, Raton,
and that women will not get what they want,,,
than with crime!
[intriguing music]
- Sorry sir,
To become a prisoner, is it this way?
- How so ? - I have a confession to make,
Are you qualified to receive them?
- Certainly, ma'am, [small laugh]
If you would like to follow me,
What do you admit you are guilty of?
- Assassination, - Ah, it's a godsend,
the year is very bad, the assassins
are particularly hard to find!
- Good day Mrs, - Good morning sir,
- Madame tells us that she has killed,
but it is probably a trivial crime?
- No way, This is one of the crimes
the most resounding of recent years,
- This, for example, And which one? - The assassination of Montferrand,
- Montferrand? - Montferrand?
But anyway, it's been over for a long time, that affair,
- Yes, it's over, But with your permission,
it will start again, since the Verdier girl
has nothing to do with this crime, - What are you singing to me?
- I don't sing anything, I affirm,
- Madeleine Verdier confessed
and the investigation has definitively established
that she is the murderer, - I know,
But you forget that the investigation was carried
out by an examining magistrate named Rabusset,
which is the last of the noodles,
[laughs] - Stocky!
- Why is he laughing like that?
- But because it's him Rabusset!
- Oh ! It's my luck!
- Get out! [laugh]
- Yes, Judge,
This adventure is great,
[He continues to laugh,]
- So, are you the Rabuset? - HM hm,
- So you went up in rank? - Yes Madam,
And it is precisely to the Montferrand affair
that I owe, as "the last of the noodles",
my advancement and the
congratulations of my hierarchy!
If you would like to go sit down,
- First, the murder weapon,
And then, Montferrand's wallet,
with his initials, his voter's card
and his driver's license,
- But where did you get that? - In the victim's pocket,
Of my victim! Please see,
- But I won't see anything at all,
I don't even have the right to take a look at these false papers
and on this innocent weapon, - Innocent?
- We have the murder weapon,
It's in the registry, among the exhibits,
- And the wallet? Is he there too?
- But I don't know, I don't want to know,
- This, for example ! - Finally, madam, think about it,
Here is a finished trial, judged, and
the outcome of which delighted everyone,
- Except me ! - Either, But he delighted me,
me, who discovered the culprit in 48 hours!
The president of the assizes who had a big personal success,
The jury who had all the press with him,
And Doctor Pandru, Doctor Pandru who brilliantly
demonstrated that the homicidal bullet
came out of the revolver that we have!
And you would like all these
people to agree to pass for imbeciles?
All you have to do is say: "I'm the murderer"
to find you guilty?
- Admit guilty, - Well no, ma'am!
That would be too convenient!
- So in addition to being a noodle, you are rotten?
- Please measure your terms,
We are here in the temple of justice,
- Well, be fair, damn it!
- But it's not about being fair,
but to do justice,
Two completely separate things,
- But if I prove to you, like 2 + 2 is 4,
that this young lady made a false confession,
- Once the thing has been judged, nothing can be done against the accused,
The law is formal,
Only the convicted person can request a retrial,
Today, you declare to me to be
responsible for this assassination,
Inevitably, you are the one lying,
So I can get you at best two months
in prison for insulting the judiciary,
- But I'm not here to have two months in prison!
- Finally, at the moment, the floor is overwhelmed
of unsolved crimes,
Accused yourself of one of these crimes,
I have the Triquet file there,
The assassin killed with an ax
six victims, very beautiful crimes!
Your attorney will say you
acted in a fit of alcoholic delirium
or senile dementia and you'll get
away with 20 years of hard labor,
Housed and fed at state expense,
- But I don't need the state to feed me,
And 20 years of hard labour, that's an idea!
- But then what do you want?
- I want what is due to me, everything that was stolen from me:
a noisy acquittal, consideration
and lots of money! - I see I see,
A crime of passion,
It should be able to be found,
A crime of passion, Wait a second, hold on!
We have a widower in Rolleboise, strangled in his bed,
The theft was not the motive for the crime since
10,000 francs were found under his mattress,
Well, you were in love with him,
He resisted you, You murdered him,
- How old was he ? - 76 years old,
- Too old, I don't like this crime!
I will be acquitted, but I will not have the opinion with me,
And why look for a crime in me?
We have mine! I want to be
guilty only of the one I committed,
- I repeat to you that this crime is not free!
- Rabusset, I won't insist, I will meet the press
and if necessary the Minister of Justice,
I have the idea that they will be less noodles than you!
[grunt] - Wait, ma'am, wait!
Let's assume for a moment
that I find you guilty of this crime,
- Oh! All the same !
- Where are your extenuating circumstances?
Who will you make believe that your act
was dictated to you by passion, self-defense
or any other respectable feeling?
- Mr Rabusset, I am a very great actress,
much better than this Madeleine Verdier, I
will be able to seduce and convince the jurors,
how I managed to seduce and
convince the public all over the world!
- Excuse me, but who are you exactly?
- Odette Chaumette, in person!
- Unknown to the battalion!
Well, Madam, one last time,
do you want to choose a crime from these files?
- I repeat it to you, I am not the Verdier girl,
other people's crimes don't interest me!
- You know,,,
the guilty who deny, it's boring, but the
innocent who accuse themselves, it's exasperating!
So, I have people for dinner, go out,
And only come back when you
charge yourself with an available crime,
I have the honor to greet you, Madame,
- Very well, Rabusset,
you want a scandal, you will have it!
[dramatic music]
- SO ?
- What a bad schemer!
- Yes, but what a great artist!
- Do you know her, Stocky?
[He whistles,]
- The Wonderful Flute! [flute melody]
- Oh, Madame Chaumette!
What a happy surprise, we were looking for you!
- You're not leaving the prosecutor's office?
- Yes, but the judiciary is even more infected
than I thought, I'm going to
establish my guilt in front of the press!
- The press? But what an idea! - Do you have my money?
- That is to say, we have better,
A serious proposal for you!
- Sir, - Ladies?
- Two coffees for us, For you too, Odette?
- No, A beer and sauerkraut
with four sausages, boy, - My God ! It's the Chaumette!
Odette Chaumette! My favorite actress !
Oh, what an honor to have you here!
I've seen all your films, I'm your biggest fan,
- Oh, thank you, that goes straight to my heart,
- And hear your voice, finally,
[small laugh] - It's good,
Come on, It doesn't stop, They are all waiting for my return!
Ah! If I hadn't killed Montferrand,,,
- Do you have any remorse? - No way,
So you found a way to get rid of me?
- Dear Odette, you are a great artist,
the fervent admiration of this waiter is proof of this,
And female camaraderie compels me,,,
- Enough talk, straight to the point, doll:
do you have my 300,000 francs? - I have better,
Your big return to the theater! - How so ?
- In The Calvary of Suzette at the Varieties!
- Oh ! The role of Suzette!
- Uh no, his mother's, Suzette, it's me!
- But this is only a secondary role,
- Yes, but you would be sublime,
and what a surprise for the public
to see you again after all these years!
- It's not that old Simone Bernard skin
who plays in it? - Since yesterday,
Simone Bernard languishes in prison,
- She was that bad in the role?
- The champagne is offered and served by the house!
- Oh, that's lovely, - And four sausages,
- But don't forget my beer! - Of course, Madame Chaumette,
- Are you taking a coupette with me?
- Why not ? THANKS, - It's my pleasure Madam,
- So you accept, Odette?
- I'll give you 24 hours for my 300,000 francs,
- Odette, give us at least a week,
Please, - 24 hours,
that's all I can give you,
As for the Calvary of Suzette, I see only one solution,
- Which ? - Let the mother become
Suzette's sister, - His sister ?
- Yes, his sister!
Well,,, eldest, if you will,
- I did not think
that this crime would give us so much trouble,
- Next time, I'll kill myself,
that will be simpler, - Thank you, Albert,
Are you sure you want to go there?
- He offered me his help, might as well take advantage of it,
- But he's not dangerous?
- We'll see,
- Where does he live ?
- Avenue Frochot,
- You want me to come with you ?
- No, go inside, it could be long,
- Aristotle said:
"Self-sacrifice is the condition of virtue",
- Not sure it helps, but I'll think about it,
[heavy music]
[ding! dong!]
- Miss Verdier, what a surprise!
- Am I disturbing you ?
- Not at all, Come in,
Pardon my outfit,
What can I serve you ?
- Strong alcohol, very strong!
- A pastis, - A what ?
- A novelty from the south! Trust me,
this drink is the sun of Marseilles,
Must be mixed with water to not be dazzled,
Please,
You knew the place, if I'm not mistaken,
- No, I'm discovering it, it's charming!
- Oh? But I thought it was here
that you had committed your crime,
- No, it was in Neuilly! - Oh!
Health,
I had the tapestries redone a
bit, but nothing more, Good !
So, what do I owe this charming impromptu visit to me?
- I need your help,
- Piping ? - No, no, the,,,
the plumbing works perfectly,
- Painting, electricity?
[great inspiration]
Eh ? Miss, are you feeling bad?
That's pastis,
[startle]
[jerky breathing]
[languorous music]
- Uh,,, I'm not to your liking, is that it?
- Yes, yes, yes, - But then ?
- I'm in love, Miss Verdier,
- Lover ?
- Yes, my wife,
It's a crime ?
- Oh, I'm confused, sorry,
- No, no, no, but you are all forgiven!
But know that it is not always necessary
to offer yourself to a man to get his help,
- So you agree to help me?
- I'm all ears,
- What an honest man! You should be happy:
no need to smash or kill,
- HM hm, - That's ideal,
Are you sure it's not inverted?
- I don't think so, he told me he loved his wife,
- Then it exists! - What ?
- Love and virtuous men,
- Yes, And with my dear André,
that's two of our acquaintances,
- You look disappointed,
- To tell you the truth, this Palmarade did not displease me,
He has a certain charm,
his accent, his good nature,
I was ready to sacrifice myself!
- And Andrew?
- André, as a husband, will be perfect!
He respects me, I adore
him, but I'm a little pining,
So why not take a lover while you wait?
[chuckle]
♪ A silence is much more eloquent ♪
♪ What a beautiful speech
♪ Wordless [sigh]
♪ We speak better
♪ Of love ♪
[knock Knock !]
[woman]: Mr, Palmarade,
- Yes, let him in,
- Mr, Bonnard! - Good morning,
What is there for your service, Monsieur Palmarede?
- I come to talk to you about Madeleine Verdier,
- To tell me that she finally broke up with my son?
- On the contrary, I came to ask you
to marry off these children as soon as possible,
- Get out, sir, I don't want to talk to you anymore,
- Mr, Bonnard, I was born in Marseilles,
and know that at home, we can
be prevented from drinking, eating,
to sleep, but never to speak!
[chuckle] - Sit down,
- Oh!
- She's your mistress, right?
- I'm married, sir! - So what ?
In Marseilles the men would be more faithful than in Paris?
- Oh no!
But have you forgotten how Miss Verdier
treat men who disrespect him?
- Miss Verdier is a criminal,
passed to the Assize Court,
I don't want her in our family!
- Mr, Bonnard, she was acquitted,
- It's not the first time that justice has failed, sir!
If this man-killer becomes my daughter-in-law,
it will be without my consent,
- But Madeleine does not want
that André is falling out with you,
What she wants more than anything
is your arm to get into the church,
- Ha! - Nevertheless,
she puts a condition to it, - That's amazing!
She dares to set her conditions! - Yes,
She demands that I invest a million and a half
in your business, - Ha!
What ? - Myself,
I couldn't help saying to him:
"Look, my little one, it's madness!
The Bonnard tires are in full disarray!
Might as well throw a million and a half into the Seine! >»
- Ah, sorry!
You are very poorly informed, Mr, Palmarède,
- Eh ? - Yes,
I don't know where you got this information from, but,,,
Let me explain! - Oh?
- We are suffering from the crisis, like everyone else,
But we just need to get through
the next two months without a hitch,
that we do 500,000 francs in advertising and
that two or three cars fitted with Bonnard tires
take part in the Paris-Bordeaux race,
and I bet you that your million
and a half will earn you 15%!
- Oh yes, That's what Madeleine claims,
- But why is she interested
to my business? - Bah,,,
Madeleine does not forget that her children will bear your name,
And she fears that her dear stepfather
know the shame of bankruptcy,
- She is very curious, this girl,
- I tell you, she has all the delicacies,
- And how did you respond to his request?
- I bowed to please him,
- Ah I understood, She's your natural daughter,
- No, I only know this little girl since her crime,
and I only love her because she did it,
In killing Montferrand, she made
such a happy gesture, so timely!
- I wonder if I suddenly lost
the concept of good and evil, [knock Knock !]
What is this ?
- Miss Verdier is here, - Oh!
She knows that I am with you,
she is impatient to know you,
- At least she isn't armed? - Oh, Monsieur Bonnard, let's see,
- No, but a murderess in my house,,,
Ah! - Mr, Bonnard,
Miss Madeleine Verdier,
- Oh, I'm so happy to meet you, Finally !
I didn't imagine you looked so
sweet, fatherly and sympathetic!
[laughs] - And you, also pretty,
Hello, Miss Verdier,
- I hope that my friend Mr, Palmarède has been eloquent,
- He didn't have to go to great lengths,
He gave me powerful, unexpected arguments,
- Really ? - My son loves you,
and now that I see you, I understand it perfectly,
- I thought you were opposed to our marriage,
- Your intelligence, your courage,
your fierce honesty,
Because, after all, it was to remain faithful to my
son that you committed this apparently illegal action!
- It is never the actions that should be looked at,
but the motives that inspire them,
[laughs] - But finally,
what is an acquittal,
if not a public certificate of complete good repute?
- Perfect ! This is a settled affair,
I'm going to leave you, I have nothing more to do here,
As for the million and a half,,, - Yes,,,
I'll come and see you, Monsieur Palmarède,
- When you want ! My dear little one, goodbye,
- Thank you, my good friend,
- You see, I have only one word,
- I'll drive you home!
- THANKS,
[sigh]
[door creak]
- Who bought these newspapers? - My secretary !
I wanted to know the woman chosen by my son,
Besides, where is he, André?
Let me let him know my new decisions!
- I told him I'm here,
He's coming to pick me up for dinner,
- I hope we will have dinner together,
Such an event is celebrated with the family,
[sigh] - Well, Monsieur Bonnard,
your paternal leniency obliges me to confess to you,
Another, in my place, would no doubt have spoken sooner,
But I wanted you to love me first for myself
and although criminal, - Oh !
Don't talk about this all the time!
- This is the last time I speak of it, Mr, Bonnard,
- I'm listening to you,
- It was not I who killed Mr, Montferrand,
- What are you saying ?
- The truth,,,
for the first time in a long time,
- It's not you who,,, - No,
I made believe it, because I was unhappy, and
this miscarriage of justice launched my career,
But with you, my dear father-in-law,
I have to stop playing a role and tell you the truth,
As Phèdre says: “Thank God,
my hands are not criminal, >»
- But it's wonderful!
Oh ! What a huge relief!
But then, who is the murderer?
- A woman named Odette Chaumette, - The actress?
- You know her ?
- A glory of my youth:
<"The most expressive eyes in silent cinema"!
[sigh] - Anyway,
my success made her jealous,
And she told me that if I didn't give her 300,000
francs, she would tell in all the newspapers
that she is the real assassin,
- Madeleine, this story is incredible,
You tell it to me to please me,
- I foresaw your disbelief,
and in a minute you will
have proof of everything I say,
- The proof ? - HM hm,
[knock-knock!] [woman]: Maître Pauline Mauléon,
[languorous music]
- Pauline, let me introduce you to my future father-in-law!
- Sir ! - Hello Master,
- My congratulations to both of you,
- Mr, Bonnard does not want to believe
that it was not I who killed Montferrand,
- Well, we'll show him,
Odette is next door, in the flat tire shed,
- Thatch here! - Yes,
- Another killer in my house!
- You received me well, - You are not the same thing!
- I want her to confirm my innocence,
- Above all, she comes to claim her 300,000 francs,
- Are you going to give them to him? - No, it's not worth it anymore,
Now that you know, his
threats don't scare me anymore,
I value your esteem more than my popularity,
- You are admirable, my dear daughter-in-law!
- Tomorrow all Paris will know
that André Bonnard marries
a virtuous, blameless woman,
Let her in, Pauline,
[hesitation] - Wait a minute!
- What's the matter ?
- No, I'm thinking of one thing,
- Which ?
- If it is established that you are not
the murderer of Montferrand,,,
won't it harm you
in the mind of Palmarade?
- Obviously, he will be disappointed,
and will no longer have the same reasons for pleasing me,
- Oh, that's for sure! - But whatever !
We will work ! Even Andrew!
And it will be the devil if we don't
restore your business within a few years,
- It will be a bit late,
But let's not talk about my
business, I'm thinking of you, ladies,
This crime made you famous and extremely likeable,
The Chaumette revelations
will cause you considerable harm,
You, as an actress, and you, as a lawyer!
- The honor of the Bonnards above all!
- The honor of justice above all!
- Oh !
I cannot accept such sacrifices,
- That works !
- Hum,,, Let us introduce the assassin!
- Odette Chaumette! - In person !
- Madam, my respects and all my admiration
for your past career in silent cinematography,
- My career is not over, sir!
She keeps shining and bouncing,
you can also see me soon at the theater
in Le Calvaire de Suzette,
My big comeback!
- I'll be there from the first one, madam,
- La Verdier will give you two seats in the orchestra,
- So it is you who claim to have killed Montferrand?
- Yes sir, Crime of passion,
These ladies must have given you all the details,
all the evidence, - And you wish
flood the press with your revelations?
- Well, they will appear tomorrow morning
if I don't have my 300,000 francs today!
- Well, here they are! - Oh !
- You can cash that check today,
- All in good time !
Ooh!
Well, you see, it wasn't that hard,
- Only, dear Odette,
as you could ask us for a check every
six months, we want the wallet in exchange,
- Confidence reigns,
But since it is you who ask me for it,
dear master, I will gladly give it to you,
<“AIn the shade of the burning bushes, >»
But then you, who are you, sir benefactor?
The pimp of two cranes?
A suitor of the Verdier?
A vague cousin of the pretty lawyer?
- It's my stepfather, ma'am! - Oh, gosh!
You also had a beautiful wedding!
My crime will have paid you well!
- To you too, Odette,
- It's true, My kitty,,,
I'm not going to cash it and
I'll tell you very soon on stage!
[chuckle]
- What an actress!
- I prefer her in silent films!
- Oh yes ! The Wonderful Flute,
- Thank you, Mr, Bonnard, for your gesture,
- If this woman had spoken,
you would have been in so much trouble,
- Oh that ! - The best would be
never tell the truth to anyone,
Except André, of course, - Oh !
- He's going to be so happy
to learn that his wife is not a criminal,
- Oh no, Let's not put André in the confidence!
- Ah good ? - I prefer it to stay
between the three of us, Our secret,
- As you would like, [Madeleine]: Thank you,
- Oh, there you are!
You couldn't tell me sooner, you big booby!
- What ? - But that you love him, parbleu!
You would have been married a long time ago!
- This, for example !
- Don't argue and kiss her,
- And his crime, which filled you with horror?
- It was badly explained to me,
- My dear father, I knew that the day you would know
the details of his crime, you would admire Madeleine
as I admire myself,
Do you realize that she killed to remain faithful to me?
No woman in the world has given
such proof of love to a man! I love it,
I love you !
[soft music]
[whispered]: You see, it's better not to tell him anything,
- Hush!
[intriguing music]
[bark]
- Excuse me ma'am,
[birds chirping]
[shout in the distance]
- No ! [screams]
No !
But let me go!
Let me go !
- What the hell are you doing here?
- Drop her or I'll shoot!
[groans] - Oh!
Come on !
- Let me go !
[cry, moan]
[gasping breath]
You saved me! [groan]
He's still moving!
[gunfire, bursts]
[sigh]
- Let's stay together in the face of this ordeal, Suzette,
Solidarity and fighters,
For in this unjust world of powerful and cruel
men, there is no more comforting consolation,
than that in the arms of a sister!
[crowd]: Well done! [cheers]
[happy laugh]
- Cheer !
[great music]
- Oh !
- Cheer !
[hissing]
[camera click]
[fast-paced music]
