[singing in foreign language]
[male #1] 'Early morning paper! Read all about it!'
Early morning paper! Read all...
Get out. There's a show going on.
Sell your paper somewhere else.

[singing in foreign language]
That was E above high C.
[singing vibrato]
[singing in foreign language]
[singing in foreign language]
[instrumental music]
That was the worst orchestra
and the worst conductor I've ever sung with.
And what was the idea of holding every high A
longer than I did?
[applause]
[instrumental music]
- Who's been smoking in here?
- I have.
Teddy, give it to me.
You know how I detest smoking.
- Where'd you come from?
- New York.
I came to see if you'd changed your mind.
Now, Teddy, I told you in Cleveland
I told you in Detroit...
I thought it might be different in Montreal.
You're wasting a lot of carfare.
Go on back to New York and forget all about me.
Don't rush me. I'm going. Don't panic.
I've decided to reconsider.
You don't have to be in love with me.
I'll marry you anyway.
Now, Teddy, get out of here!
You're missing a great bet.
Think of all of father's millions.
Once and for all, I am not going to marry you.
I see. You're in love with somebody else.
No, I'm not in love with anyone.
- You sure?
- Absolutely positive.
- Go on home.
- Well, that's fine.
See you in Toronto.
[sighs]
What am I going to do with that lad, Roderick?
He's a very good match, madame.
What do I want of a good match? I have everything.
I have my work, I have fame, I have money.
- Everything but..
- But what?
I was going to say, love, madame.
Do you think I could fall in love with that silly boy?
Why, I could twist him around my little finger like that.
But I did not mean him, necessarily.
But they're all alike, stupid idiots.
Oh. Not all, madame.
Alright, if you see one that's different
you point him out to me, I'll show you.
The only man I'd waste a minute
thinking about is my brother.
Here is a letter from your brother.
- Oh. When did this come?
- At 5 o'clock.
Why didn't you give it to me before?
I did not want to upset you before your performance.
Oh, he heard me on the radio, Roderick.
- They let them listen.
- Oh, I'm glad of that.
Does he say anything about his parole?
"Last week, I went up before the parole board
"for my ticket of leave and... was refused.
Better luck next time. Your sincere admirer."
- Oh, Jack.
- Oh, please, please, madame.
Do not upset yourself.
I've got to do something for him, Roderick.
But he does not want you to, madame.
Well, I've listened to him long enough.
But it would only distress him.
He does not want to drag you into this.
Look how careful he's been.
Writing as if he did not know you.
As if he was just one of your fans.
But everything is different now.
Now that he's been refused.
What could you do, madame?
I don't know.
Imagine putting a boy in jail
just because he carried a gun.
But he held up a man with that gun.
- He didn't shoot him, did he?
- No, no, no..
I, I can't see anyone.
- Mr. Myerson, madame.
- Good evening, Roderick.
Oh, come in, Myerson.
You were beautiful, beautiful!
- Thank you, Myerson.
- And look what we took in.
Yes, yes. I'll look at it later.
[chuckles]
Broke the house record. Didn't it, Gordon?
You know Mr. Gordon, the manager of the house?
- Yes, yes.
- You were superb.
Uh, during my 20 years in this theater
I never heard a more lovely voice.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
And now if you'll excuse me
I'm not feeling very well.
Oh, dear, dear. I sensed that.
I could see it in your performance.
Miss de Flor has a terrible throat.
There's nothing wrong with my throat
and I never sang better in my life.
I just don't feel like seeing people, that's all.
- You understand, I'm sure.
- Of course, he understands.
Uh, you won't see anyone, mademoiselle?
There are one or two very important people...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- The premier, he's waiting.
- 'I can't help that.'
[Gordon] 'But he's come all the way from Quebec'
'just on purpose to hear Mademoiselle de Flor.'
'He's most anxious to meet her.'
- 'My dear fellow..'
- Uh, Myerson! Myerson!
Uh, I-I should be delighted to meet the Premier.
Ah, thank you. Thank you so much.
After all, it's more or less
like a command performance, isn't it?
- Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.
- I'll go and tell him.
- He's in my office.
- Very well.
I'll have the photographers all ready.
You'll do nothing of the sort.
Yes.
Temperamental as a hoot owl.
Roderick, change my shoes right away.
We've got to impress the Premier.
Oh, you do not have to do anything
to impress him, madame.
I watched him from the wings. Oh!
He was applauding and applauding.
- Oh, he was, was he?
- Oh, yes, madame.
He was crazy about you.
Roderick, I'm going to wear my new gown.
You know, the white one. And telephone Emil.
Tell him to prepare the finest supper he's ever served.
- The Premier is coming.
- Yes, madame.
Father, father, ooh!
Mademoiselle, Canada is proud of you.
You've given me more pleasure tonight
than I've had for years.
Hmm. That wouldn't be just patriotism, would it?
I assure you, I'd have to admit it
even if you were an American.
- Oh.
- My wife.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
- And my sister-in-law.
- How do you do?
You had me enthralled all evening.
- Oh, thank you.
- Mrs. Carter.
And may I, too, tell you how beautiful you were?
- Oh, you're very kind.
- You were wonderful.
I never realized before how beautiful that opera was.
You're all so gracious.
And now I have a great favor to ask of you.
Would you do me the honor of having supper with me tonight?
I don't think we can.
Oh, you have another engagement?
I'm afraid we have, yes.
Oh, father, you know we haven't.
Now, Edith, you remember what Mr. Myerson said.
Mr. Myerson?
Uh, what did Mr. Myerson say?
He said that you had to rest.
Oh. Oh, dear Mr. Myerson. Always trying to protect me.
I don't know what I shall do without him
when he leaves me on Saturday.
Oh, but I insist.
After all, I can always rest
but I can't always entertain the Premier of Quebec.
We accept with pleasure.
Though I feel it's rather an imposition.
I feel I should do something for you.
- Perhaps you can sometime.
- I hope so.
[instrumental music]
[crowd cheers]
[cheering continues]
[orchestral music]
- My land, how could you?
- Oh, it's only a plate.
It's not one of your hotel plates. It's hers.
- What of it?
- You'll have to tell her.
I won't. She's not gonna blame me for that.
- Oh, shut up your mouth!
- 'Well, look what he's done.'
How can I cook with all this noise?
Why do you bother? She'll only
find something wrong with it.
Hah! If she complains once more, I'm through.
Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes to get supper for ten!
Susan, who has been at the music?
How should I know?
Her favorite song. I cannot find it.
I wouldn't touch a piece of her music
if my life depended on it.
- Who opened that window?
- How should I know?
Shut it immediately.
You know how she is about drafts.
- Is she coming, Mrs. Roderick?
- Yes. Oh! What is that?
One of her plates but I didn't do it.
Go away. Hide it in the kitchen.
Light those candles.
She wants champagne cocktails right away!
Mrs. Roderick, what kind of a mood is she in?
Mr. Myerson got his notice.
Her favorite song. Her favorite song.
Well, here we are.
Green, take the gentlemen's coats and hats, please.
- Good evening, Susan.
- Good evening, madame.
Mr. Daniells, how nice of you to come.
Mr. Daniells plays for me. He's such a fine musician.
Do play something for us, Mr. Daniells.
- Your favorite song...
- Play something.
Do you hear me?
Who'd think you'd find anything like this in a hotel?
Oh, it's perfectly lovely.
I never dreamed the hotel had a suite like this.
Oh, I'm so glad you like it. These are all my own things.
I might have known.
I figured, since I couldn't live at home
I might as well have my home with me.
Susan, show the ladies to my room, please.
Yes, madame.
- Mr. Myerson.
- Coming.
Do see that the gentlemen have
what they want to drink, will you?
Now, I want to show you my most priceless possession.
More priceless possessions
among all these wonderful things?
Mm-hmm.
I wonder if Miss de Flor would mind if I smoked.
I'm sure I couldn't say.
There's my most priceless possession. Emil, my chef.
I stole him from Fouquet's when I was in Paris.
Well, I'm sure that Emil didn't object.
I don't know what I'd do without him.
What have you prepared for us this evening, Emil?
Filet aux champignons, madame.
- Sounds delicious.
- How is it?
I did the best I could, madame.
Mm! It is delicious.
It's all ready, too, isn't it?
I-I'm sorry, madame. Not f-for t-t-ten minutes.
Mm, that's perfect.
I'm sure you'd like a cocktail, wouldn't you?
- Yes, I would.
- So would I. Come on.
Well, here we are.
I know I shouldn't do this but I'm going to.
Are you sure you want us here tonight?
Forgive me if I seem impertinent
but you're worried about something, aren't you?
Worried?
Well, I'm so used to having people come to me
with their troubles that I recognize the symptoms.
- You're very keen.
- I don't mean to intrude.
Oh, don't say that.
Um, it's so lovely of you to be interested.
You're right. I-I am worried.
And I don't know which way to turn.
I've no one to talk to.
Well, if there's anything I can do to help..
Oh, thank you.
Perhaps later, if I could talk with you..
Why, of course.
Here's to a speedy departure of your troubles.
I feel better already.
[instrumental music]
Da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da...
Forgive me. Did you find everything you want?
Yes, thank you.
- Your voice is too beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
What a lovely thing, that melody.
Please don't stop.
Oh, would you like me to sing?
Oh, indeed..
Really?
What would you like? You must choose.
Won't you sing that song that you sang on the radio?
Oh. Uh. "Pardon me, madame?"
- Yes.
- Have you that, Mr. Daniells?
Here you are, mademoiselle.
- Oh, fine.
- Please, please.
- Your cigarette.
- Oh, no, no.
That's quite alright.
I'll open the window for you.
Have we met before madame?
He said sweetly I froze him so completely
He continued sweetly
Pardon me madame
Am I such a boor madame?
This intrusion fills me with confusion
And for this intrusion
Pardon me madame
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Maybe I was all
To blame
I grew weary
And he whispered dearie
Let me tell you
How in love I am
As we kissed he held me oh so tightly
Saying so politely
Pardon me madame
And then she walked a little faster
And he did the same
[singing in foreign language]
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game..
[singing in foreign language]
And then she walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved to be a master
Of the walking game
[singing in foreign language]
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Ah
[singing in foreign language]
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Oh he proved to be a master
So he walked a little faster
A little faster a little faster
A little faster a little faster
Have we met before
Madame
Madame
I smiled sweetly then he said discreetly
We'll forget completely
Pardon me
Madame
[gibberish]
Wasn't that marvelous?
Miss de Flor, Miss de Flor, look!
[applause and cheering]
- Supper's served, madame.
- 'Oh, thank you, Emil.'
- I hope you're all as hungry as I am.
- I'm very hungry.
Madame.
- There is a man...
- I can't see anyone now.
But he told me to give you this.
- Where is he?
- In the hall.
- Take him in my room.
- Yes, madame.
Oh, uh, oh, will you excuse me, please?
- Some stupid business has come up.
- Oh, certainly.
Mr. Myerson, will you act as host, please?
Thank you. Uh, don't wait for me.
Shall we, uh..
You come in here.
You wait here.
Madame, this is the man.
Where did you get this?
It's alright. You can talk in front of her.
- You know that man?
- Yes.
He ran away from the penitentiary.
He told me to bring it to you. He knew you would help.
- Well, where is he? Is he here?
- No.
- Then where?
- I can't tell you.
Oh, but you must tell me. I'll help you.
Where is he? Is he, is he safe?
- Is he alright?
- He's better now.
When I found him in the woods
he was very sick. Bullet in here.
And you left him alone with no one to care for him?
- My mother is with him.
- Oh.
Roderick, ask the Premier to come here.
- No, no.
- But you don't understand.
- I'm his sister.
- Sister?
Yes, and when the Premier knows.
I, I'm sure he'll help us.
No, no. He may know. He may have found out.
The mounted police who was sent after your brother is dead.
He killed him.
Oh.
Oh.
He say he can get away but he needs money.
Plenty of money to get out of the country.
- Roderick?
- 'Yes, madame?'
Tell Myerson to come here.
- How far is it?
- 'First train to Quebec.'
'Then boat, then woods.'
- When do you leave?
- 'Tonight.'
'There is a train, 1 o'clock.'
- I'm going with you.
- No. Give me the money.
It is better that I go alone. No one will know me.
I assure you they won't know me.
You couldn't do it. The trip is too hard.
I don't care. I'm going anyway.
Here. Take this. Go to the station.
And get two tickets for Quebec.
I'll meet you in ten minutes.
- Hurry.
- Where is the money for him?
I'll bring that. Go along.
- Mr. Myerson is coming.
- Alright.
Listen, Roderick, get that brown suit of mine.
You know, the old one with the suede jacket.
- Your suit?
- Yes. Hurry up.
- Come in, Myerson.
- W-w-what is it?
Myerson, I need money. Every cent you've got, quickly.
What is it, another bracelet?
Don't ask any questions. Just give it to me.
Roderick, throw some things
in that old bag of yours and get me your brown hat.
- Are you going someplace?
- Yes.
Don't forget, our train leaves in the morning at 10:45...
- I can't make it!
- What? What's this?
What are you gonna do? Where are you going?
[Marie] 'I can't tell you.'
Have you gone out of your mind?
What about your performances
your concert work, your radio job?
'Cancel them!' - Cancel them?
But they'll hold me responsible. I'll be ruined.
I'll have nothing to do with it.
- Besides, you fired me tonight!
- 'I take it back.'
Listen to reason. Roderick, speak to her.
Myerson, you've known me for a long time.
You know I wouldn't do this unless I were desperate.
I've got to go to someone.
- Someone who needs me terribly.
- Who is it?
[Marie] 'I can't tell you any more than that.'
Just give me some idea of how long you'll be.
I promise you I'll be back in New York in a month.
Alright. I'll try to fix it.
Oh, Myerson. You're a darling.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]
[clamoring]
Far over the snow what are those voices?
Over the snow
They sing as they go
What are those voices? As they go
Look hard for the Mounties
For here come the Mounties

Sergeant Bruce, the OC wants to see you immediately.
Thank you. Corporal?
[engine revving]
Come in.
- Good day, sergeant.
- Good day, sir.
The 80th division monthly returns.
You may go, Morris.
- Sit down, Bruce.
- Thank you, sir.
I'm sending you back to the woods.
But I just got down, sir.
Yes. I'm sorry to interfere with your social activities.
I'm sure the young ladies will be vastly disappointed.
Study that.
Boy was sent to jail for a holdup.
Escaped from penitentiary ten days ago.
As far as we know, he has no relatives.
- Got it?
- Yes, sir.
John Flower, 21 years old, 165 pounds
six feet one, dark blue eyes...
Alright. Alright. Do you think you'll recognize him?
[Bruce] 'Yes, sir.'
He's hiding up somewhere near Lake Sheboygan.
Oh, that's the case Bennett is on.
Wason. They found his body this morning.
When do I start, sir?
- At once, by plane.
- I'll do my best, sir.
You'll bring him back. You've never failed us yet.
Thank you, sir.
With your permission, sergeant.
May I wish you luck? Bring him back.
With my shield or on it, Watt.
Dead or alive

If you're the one
Better run better run away
Son you are done
Throw your gun throw your gun away

Now
[instrumental music]
[boat horn hooting]
This is Peribonka.
It's awfully desolate, isn't it?
Oh, yes. Montreal nice but not so desolate.
- Look. Montagnais tribe.
- Oh, yes.
They go upriver for big time tonight.
Every year, all nations of the Montagnais
hold a meeting. Sing, dance.
- You like to go?
- No. No, thank you.
[instrumental music]
[tribal music]
Heads up! Out of the way, girlie.
[instrumental music]
You ought to eat something before we start.
Maybe I will.
There's a good place over there.
Good music, good singing. You like it.
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, no. I don't think I'm so very hungry after all.
Maybe, maybe-maybe we'd better outfit first, huh?
- Oh, right over here, then.
- Yeah.
[instrumental music]
- Oh, how do you do?
- Hello.
I'd like to get some clothes for myself
and supplies for a ten day trip.
Outfit, huh? Other side.
What kind of an outfit you want?
- Goin' fishin'?
- Yes.
[male #2] 'Where are you goin'? Up north?'
- Well, uh..
- Lake Platipi.
Oh. Then I guess you'll need somethin' warm.
Now, let's see.
- Why did you tell him that?
- That's not where we go.
Oh.
[male #2] 'I guess this'll be about what you want, miss.'
Oh.
Is it the right size?
Main thing is to keep warm.
Now, let's see. You'll need some, uh, socks.
'Mittens, shirts.'
I'll give you a couple in case you get wet.
What'll it be, pants or skirt?
'Whatever you say.' - We'll try pants.
You'll need some high boots. What size do you wear?
- I don't know.
- Ha, ha, ha.
Don't even know what size shoe you wear.
- No.
- Let's see.
I'll have to give you a child's boot.
What are you lookin' for? Everything's here.
- Shirts, socks, and..
- It isn't that.
It-it's my purse, I, I left it in my pocketbook
when I went to try on that coat and it's not here.
If I lose that.. But I couldn't.
Miss, that fella that was with you.
Who? Boniface? Oh, he wouldn't.
Boniface.
Boniface! Boniface!
Boniface!
Oh, Boniface. Did you see him come out?
No, that's the trouble with those half-breeds.
You can't trust them.
But what am I going to do? That's all the money I have.
I'll tell you what to do. Come here.
You see that flag down there, the one at half-mast?
- Yes.
- Well, that's the Mounties.
They just lost one of their men but they've sent
somebody else to take his place. Sergeant Bruce.
'He's their crack man. He'll find him.'
'Don't you worry. You just go to him.'
'You want me to go along with you?'
No, no. No, thank you.
Uh, no. I'll go alone.
I'll hold your things for you.
If I see anything of that half-breed
I'll hold him, too!
Boniface!
[instrumental music]
Boniface!
Boniface! Boniface!
[dramatic music]
Boniface. Boniface.
Boniface.
Boniface!
[indistinct chatter]
[applause]
Looking for anybody, sister?
I, um, I wondered, uh..
Could you give me a job?
- Do you mean it?
- Oh, yes.
Well, I'd like to help you
but the only thing we got around here
is a dish washing job.
Well, I meant, uh, I meant singing.
Oh, I don't pay for that.
Look. She just get what they give her.
- Ever sing before?
- I, uh..
Now, come on. Come on. Tell me the truth.
Yes, I've sung before.
Well, it's on your own head. Come on.
Say, Joe.
Here's a gal wants to take a shot at a song.
- Oh, yeah?
- Well, fix her up, will you?
Say, give them something hot.
Hot.
What's it gonna be, toots?
I..
Here. Take your choice.
I-is this hot?
Oh, nothin' hotter. Listen.
[instrumental music]
Oh, could you, could you put it up a key, please?
That's the only key I know.
[instrumental music]
When are you going to start?
Well, I-I'm waiting for them to quiet down.
Oh, come on. Forget it. Let's go.
Is there anyone finer?
In her native Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me Dinah
With her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd love to be gazing
Into the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me
Dinah if she went to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Caro-Carolina
And you know her show her
Show her to me
Dinah with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd love to be gazing
Into the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me
Dinah if she went to China
I would hop and ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Oh, I feel so silly.
Don't get nervous, kid. You're alright.
You've got a pretty fair voice.
All you have to do is put a lot of pep to..
Here. Wait a minute.
Here's another old song. Try that.
Don't pay no attention to these mugs here.
Go on now. Put pep to it. Let's go.
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You'll need my loving..
[clamoring]
Hello, sergeant. How are you?
Hello, Belle! How are you?
Hello, Bruce. How are you? Glad to see you.
Hello, sergeant. I knew they'd send you up here after him.
Hello, Bruce.
- Hi, Bill.
- How are you?
Well, Lily! How are you?
You know you will grieve me..
Did you come down here to get that man?
I just came down to look around a bit.
- Aren't you scared?
- Well, you should be.
How long do you think it'll take you to get him?
Some of these days
You're going to feel so lonely..
Wait a minute.
Go on. Go on. Get her out of there.
Pep it up. Pep it up. Pep it up!
Okay. Okay.
When you're away
I feel so lonely
Just for you only
For you know honey
You've had your way
And when I leave you
You're gonna grieve me
You'll miss me baby
Some of these days
Some of these days
You're gonna miss me honey
Some of these days
You're gonna be so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You'll miss me honey
When I'm away
I feel so lonely
Just for you only
And you know honey
You've had your way
Had your way
And when I leave you
You know you will grieve me
You're gonna miss your little baby
Baby some of these days
[clamoring]
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me. I'll be back later. Good night, dad.
- I'll be seeing you later, boy.
- What's the hurry, sergeant?
Oh, I got a little business to attend to. Good night.
Just a minute.
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your singing.
- Thank you very much.
- Not at all.
I think you have a very nice voice.
I might even go so far as to say
you have an exceptional voice.
Of course, I don't want to go too far
until we know each other better.
Don't you agree with me?
Is that so? Well, that's one point of view.
I always say it'd be a dull world if we all agreed.
You know, you mustn't feel discouraged
by what happened in there.
Belle was just afraid you'd cut in on her.
That's one thing about Belle though.
If she ever got lumbago, she couldn't sing a note.
You're right. This is much of a nicer walk.
This takes us right down by the detachment.
Why don't you go away and leave me alone?
I can't let you wander around by yourself.
I'm quite alright, thank you.
I think I'd better take you home.
- Where are you staying?
- At the hotel.
That's funny. You're not registered there.
No. No. I-I was just going to.
Haven't you any luggage? Any bags?
Yes. Yes. I left them at the store.
The proprietor's taking care of them for me.
Oh, you're the one who lost her money.
Come on in the office and tell me all about it.
Now, you just sit down
and make yourself comfortable.
- I've got your bag here.
- Oh, thank you.
"R." Is that it?
Yes. That's it. Thank you.
You should have come to me and reported this.
You don't think much of the mounted police, do you?
Now, first, your name.
- Rose.
- Rose?
Yes. Yes. R-O-S-E.
Rose Marie de Flor.
I always thought your name was just Marie de Flor.
That's a pretty name. Rose Marie.
Why don't you use the whole name?
I don't know what you're talking about.
That isn't my name, de Flor.
I admit you had me fooled when I first looked at you.
But I spotted you the minute I heard you sing.
I'd know your voice in a million.
- Oh.
- Age?
Uh, just past 21.
- Twenty-five.
- Uh, twenty-three.
Twenty-three.
Sex? Decidedly.
- Height?
- 5'5".
5'5".
- Weight. Um, 114.
- Sixteen.
Sixteen. Complexion? Lovely.
Hair, red.
Eyes..
Green.
Now, tell me what it's all about.
What are you doin' here?
Well, I, I see it's no use trying to lie to you.
I came up here to get away from people.
I wanted to be alone where I wouldn't be recognized.
Uh, that's why I didn't come to you when my bag was stolen.
You see, I thought if I, if I made any fuss about it
the reporters would be on my trail
and, well... that's exactly what I want to avoid.
I see.
But, um..
Well, I must find my money
and I must find my guide.
I have a pretty good idea of where he is.
There's a big Indian festival tonight.
Every Indian from miles around will be there.
Still, if you don't want him arrested...
Oh, well, if you'll just tell me where to find him.
I, I'm sure I can frighten him
into giving me back my money.
I'll do better than that.
I'll take you up there myself.
Oh, well, I don't want to take you away from your duty.
Oh, that's alright. I've got to go up there anyway.
Now, about this report..
Well, do you have to send that in?
Oh, it's just a matter of routine, in case you got lost.
- Oh, I see.
- Now, where are you going?
Well, uh, heh.
It's a little embarrassing to explain.
You know how it is when your every move is watched.
When, uh, when if you're just seen
well, talking with a man..
Oh, I, I suppose I might as well tell you everything.
I, um, I'm up here to meet someone.
I see.
You're so understanding.
That's why I have to find my guide.
You see, um..
Hesent him here to find me.
And, uh, well, I don't know exactly where I'm going
but I only know it's somewhere near Lake Platipi.
We'll say Lake Platipi.
This is going to be a little awkward.
What would you say was the object of your trip?
Well, couldn't we just say fishing?
Fishing.
[instrumental music]
It's a beautiful night, isn't it?
What? Oh. Oh, yes. Mm-hmm. Yes.
If you came up here for romance
I don't know why you have to go any further than this.
Look around you. You've got everything here.
Not quite.
Lookthisway, then.
If you don't go on with your paddling
we won't get to that festival.
Every time I realize that I'm helping you
to get to another man
it takes the heart out of me.
What's he like, anyway?
Why?
Oh, I just want to know what competition I'm up against.
I suppose he's some big banker.
No.
A poet, then.
I know I can't write poetry but I can recite it.
"Cannons to the right of them.
Cannons to the left of them."
No. He's not a poet.
A polo player maybe.
It's no use you going any further for that.
I play polo.
No. He's not a polo player either.
Then what is he? What's the attraction?
He's an Italian tenor.
He's got me there. I'm not an Italian.
But as for the singing..
[clears throat] Here goes.
Oh sweet Rose Marie it's easy to see
Why all who learn to know you love you
You're gentle and kind divinely designed
As graceful as the pines above you
There's an angel's breath beneath your sigh
There's a little devil
In your eye
Oh Rose Marie
I love you
Forever dreaming of you
No matter what I do I'll not forget you
Sometimes I wish that I had never
Met you
And yet if I should lose you
'Twould mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you
To rule me
My Rose
Marie
'How was that for a start?'
Oh, you have a lovely voice.
What about the song? Did you like it?
I suppose you just composed it
on the spur of the moment.
Every word came right from my heart.
Well, it was very pretty.
Well, let's try and remember. Let's see, now.
Oh Caroline I love you
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
It was Rose Marie a moment ago.
- What did I say?
- Caroline.
- Oh, did I say Caroline?
- Yes.
That's too bad.
What do you do? Change name to suit the girl?
- If it fits the rhythm.
- Oh, I see.
Oh Genevieve I love you
Oh Annabelle I..
That must come in very handy.
It doesn't work with some names.
It didn't work with Maude.
But then, nothing worked with Maude.
[instrumental music]
[percussive music]
We're just in time.
Oh, but there are hundreds of them.
I never dreamed things like this was still going on.
They do this every year.
'It's like a Mardi Gras to them.'
What's that they're carrying, corn?
Yes, it's their corn festival
to show their appreciation for a good crop.
- Oh, like our Thanksgiving.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- But we only thank one God.
They thank everybody.
The corn, the sun, the rain, the birds, their ancestors.
They do a thorough job. Come on, you'll see.
- Oh, but what about my guide?
- We'll look for him afterwards.
You couldn't find him now.
'Are you sure he won't leave?'
Uh, don't worry. They'll be celebrating for days.
Hi, Chief Whitestone!
You seem to know everybody, don't you?
Just about.
Oh, Cassie, hello. How are you?
- Are you dancing tonight?
- Yes.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Cassie, this is Rose Marie.
- How do you do, Cassie?
You know, I lived alone with her tribe for six months.
- Six months?
- Yep.
- No other white people at all?
- No.
No one to sing to?
No, um, Annabelles? No Carolines?
No one but Cassie.
When I caught myself singing to her, I went home.
[instrumental music]
[percussive music]
You can see more from here.
There you are. Better?
- Just a minute.
- Just in case you should fall.
But I'm perfectly safe, thank you.
Don't be too sure.
[intense music]
[ululating]
[music continues]
[ululating]
[singing in foreign language]
[music continues]
[ululating]
[music continues]
[singing in foreign language]
[music continues]
[upbeat music]
Oh, that was thrilling.
I suppose it is the first time.
- Have you seen it before?
- Yes, every year.
We have to police these things.
Oh, that's why you came up here.
No, I'm here tonight to get some information
about a man we're after.
- Just a minute.
- No, no. No. I'm too heavy.
Heavy? I could hold you like this for hours.
Well, we haven't got hours, I've
got to find my guide. Come on.
Oh, I was hoping you'd forgotten.
[Boniface] 'Come on. Come on, all Montagnais.'
'My treat. Come to my tepee.'
Oh!
- Hey, you!
- Oh!
I want to see you a minute. Come over here.
- This the man?
- No.
No. He's not the one.
You sure, now? He seemed pretty anxious to get away.
Yes. I'm positive.
Here. Wait a minute.
Drinking, huh?
You know what'll happen to you if you get caught bringing
any of that stuff in here?
Remember it. Get going.
Did your man look anything like that?
Well, he had, um..
He had dark hair and dark eyes.
That helps a lot.
Well, uh, maybe I could find him if I sort of
wandered around alone.
Alright. Go ahead.
I've got to see the boys about a little matter of my own.
Oh. Thanks.
If you see him, let me know. I'll slap him right in jail.
Don't be afraid of the publicity.
I'll keep your name out of it.
Yell out if you see him, understand?
- Yes, I will.
- Alright.
- Oh, how are you?
- Pretty good.
Say, will you ask your men if they've
seen anything of this John Flower?
[speaking in foreign language]
Well, he says he don't know.
If none of these boys don't see that man
you ask another tribe.
Alright. Thanks very much.
Boniface! Come here.
Give me that money or I'll turn you over to the police.
You tell police, I tell him about your brother.
Well, that's fine. Tell him.
Tell him that you're hiding a man from the police.
When he hears that, you'll probably spend
the rest of your life in jail. Come on.
No, no. Wait.
Oh. So you've changed your mind, have you?
Give it to me.
Now you'll take me the rest of the way.
And just to be sure this doesn't happen again
I'm leaving a letter for the police
explaining everything
just in case I don't return in ten days.
- You understand?
- Yes. Yes.
Better.
Here, take this and pick up
our supplies and things at the store.
Meet me at the wharf in an hour.
- Oh, hello.
- Oh!
Well, I'm ready to go back. What about you?
Mm-hmm. What about your man?
Did you find out anything about him?
- Not a thing.
- Oh, that's too bad.
That doesn't matter. We'll get him.
- What about your man?
- Not a thing.
Well, that's just dandy.
You can take your choice of rooms, miss. They're all empty.
She'd like that room at the front.
Give her anything she wants and charge it to me.
- Okay. Any luggage?
- Here's her bag.
I can never thank you enough for what you've done for me.
I haven't done a thing. I didn't find your guide.
Well, you know..
[chuckles]
I'm glad you didn't.
Are you? Well, that's more like it.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye? Where are you going?
I probably won't see you again.
I'll be in Montreal when you get back.
That's crazy. Why don't you wait here?
I'll be back in about a week.
Oh, no, I couldn't do that.
I'm not going to let you out of my sight tonight.
- You've got to go away.
- Not until dawn.
I've got hours yet.
We'll wake up the cook and get some food.
And then we'll watch the sun rise over the lake.
Oh, no. No, please. I can't.
Alright, then, I'll let you go.
But on one condition.
That you promise me that you'll wait here for me.
Well, alright. I'll promise.
- What?
- That I'll wait.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Rose Marie.
Here you are, miss.
Now, if you want anything, you just holler out.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
Oh Rose Marie I love you
You mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you
To rule me
My Rose Marie
Aren't you afraid Caroline or Annabelle will hear you?
I don't care. Let them. I'll serenade you all night.
- Don't you dare.
- 'Here's one just for you.'
The night was stormy dark and cold
Till I recalled a song of old
A serenade
To your loveliness
For night was made
Just for your caress
Night
Has placed a million stars above you
Night
Has told the breeze to whisper of you
Night
Has brought the silver moonbeams too
Just for you
Just for you
For tonight
Will never come again dear
Though you may forget
When night is through
Keep this serenade
That the tender
Night has made
As a love song
Just
For
You
Au revoir Rose Marie
[whistling]
Hello, dad. What are you doing? Still toasting your heels?
- Not particularly.
- Couldn't you sleep?
Not so very much.
What's the matter, then?
Oh, I just got to figuring that this might be
the last time I'd see you alive.
[chuckles]
Rose Marie. Rose Marie de Flor.
De Flor, de Flor?
What sort of a name is that?
Sounds like a kind of soap.
Spanish, I think. It means flower.
Rose Marie flower.
Flower?
Why, the little..
Now, now, sergeant, just a minute.
I don't mind your singing out in the yard
but there's a limit.
Is she gone?
Yes. Did you hear her go?
No. Anything wrong?
Wrong? No. As a matter of fact, it couldn't be better.
It couldn't be better!
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
Get off for a minute to rest her.
- Boniface.
- 'Yes?'
Where are we?
That's Echo Rock.
That could not be on the map.
Well, show me just about where it is.
- Here.
- Oh, yes.
Now we go North to Hayman's Landing.
Oh, yes. Hayman's landing.
Then 18 miles beyond that to cabin where my mother live.
Which direction is that?
Straight East.
We've gone about a quarter of the way, haven't we?
Yes. You want to camp here for the night?
Oh, no. No, we'll go right along.
We've got a good head start. We don't want to lose it.
I'll give them a drink.
Call me when you're ready.
[echoing] Call me when you're ready.
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ah ah
Ah ah
Three blind mice
Three blind mice
See how they run
See how they run
Three blind mice three blind mice
See how they run see how they run
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did ever you see such a sight in your life
As three blind mice
As three blind mice
Couldn't we save time by crossing here
instead of going way around?
- Yes.
- Well, let's do it, then.
Did you ever swim a horse before?
No. No, but.. But it's worth a try.
Come on. Let's go.
[instrumental music]
[intense music]
Help!
'Help!'
[Rose] Ah!
[instrumental music]
Rose Marie, are you alright?
[coughing] I guess so.
I'll get you some brandy.
[coughing] No, thank you.
Here. Take that wet coat off.
Let me help you.
Put this dry one on.
- No. No!
- Drink it.
- Better?
- Oh, sure.
- Want another swig?
- No.
Well, fancy meeting you here.
You didn't wait very long for me, did you?
No. I changed my mind.
Wasn't it rather sudden?
Oh, no, no, right after you left
my guide showed up.
- The one who stole your money?
- Oh, I was mistaken.
He hadn't stolen it.
He'd just taken it to buy food for this trip.
What has he gone to buy now?
Oh, he's just trying to catch my horse.
I'm sorry if I've delayed you.
Uh, thank you for everything, saving my life
but I'm quite alright now.
You don't have to bother about me anymore. You go along.
- I can't leave you alone.
- He'll be right back.
What if he doesn't turn up?
You don't even know where you're going.
Yes, I do. I know exactly where I'm going.
That's fine. I was afraid you didn't.
Well, thanks again for everything, all you've done.
You go along. You don't worry about me anymore, please.
- Anything you want before I go?
- No. No, thank you. Nothing.
Some food? I've got some beans.
- No, I don't like beans.
- Bacon?
- No. I hate bacon.
- Want me to build a fire?
No, nothing, thank you. Thank you.
Alright. So long.
Goodbye.
What did you say?
I didn't say a thing.
Sorry. I thought you said, "Thanks for the coat."
What about it, Hayburner? Tired?
Hungry?
Want to camp here for the night?
'Alright. You're the boss.'
We camp here.
There. Feel better?
[instrumental music]
[whistling]
[instrumental music]
[Bruce whistling]
Oh, hello there. Didn't he come back?
No.
Oh, that's too bad. But I wouldn't worry.
He'll probably show up someday.
It's too bad your horse followed his.
It kind of leaves you high and dry afoot.
It's a long way back to town
if you can find your way back.
You know, I'm always cooking more of these things
than I can eat.
It seems a shame to throw this stuff away.
Don't!
Are you hungry?
- Yes.
- But these are beans.
I don't care.
Come on over to the fire and I'll fill a plate for you.
Got loads of food over here.
Here we are.
If you stop eating for a second here's a place to sit down.
Thanks.
Oh. Mm-hmm.
Bacon? You mean you want some?
- Please.
- Not bacon.
Didn't you say you hated bacon?
- Want some tea?
- Yes, please.
- Sugar?
- No, thank you.
- Lemon?
- Mm-hmm.
Fresh out of lemon.
I've never tasted anything better in my life.
Here. Let me fix that for you.
- What?
- This right here.
Oh, thanks for the coat.
That's alright.
I don't know what I'd have done without it.
It was so cold and dark down there.
And the strangest noises.
- Thanks.
- There. All set?
Mm-hmm.
Where are you going?
I'm going to take a look at the horses.
Oh, do you mind much if I go along?
It's just a step. You stay here and finish.
Well, you-you won't be gone long, will you?
Hmm?
[bushes rustling]
S-ser-sergeant.
Sergeant!
Sergeant!
- Sergeant!
- 'What's the matter?'
Something's chasing me!
Oh, there's nothing chasing you. What do you mean?
There's something in the bushes.
It's probably just a deer or a rabbit.
- Oh.
- Come on back to the fire.
Nothing will harm you while you're over there.
- Are you coming along?
- Yes, I'm coming along.
- Had enough to eat?
- Oh, yes, thank you.
Doesn't anything ever frighten you?
- Sure.
- What?
Well, I couldn't get up on a stage
in front of thousands of people and sing.
- Oh, that's nothing.
- That would scare me stiff.
[indistinct singing]
What is that? I heard it before.
Just an Indian.
Makes you feel kind of funny, doesn't it?
Listen.
[indistinct singing]
That's his girlfriend.
What is it, a signal between them?
It's an old Indian legend.
Once upon a time, there was an Indian
who loved an Indian girl of a different tribe
and their families were enemies.
Sort of a Romeo and Juliet affair.
That was supposed to be their call to each other.
What happened to them?
Well, their families found out about them
and they were both sentenced to die.
Oh.
The Indians say that their spirits
still live in the happy hunting ground.
And when a lover gives that call
they echo it, sending it on
until it reaches the one he loves.
Lovely, isn't it?
Oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo
So
Echoes of sweet love notes gently fall
Through the forest stillness
As the waiting
Indian lovers
Call
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
My love call
Ringing clear
And I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
You'll belong to me
I'll belong
To
You
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you object to smoking?
Oh, no. I like it.
What is it, some special brand?
A cheap kind I know.
Funny.
What are you going to do tonight, wait up for your guide?
I don't know.
You better take my tent for the night.
By the way, aren't your feet a little damp?
I'm a little damp all over.
You better go in there and take your boots off.
Give 'em to me and I'll dry them out for you.
What about you? Where will you sleep?
I'll be alright. I'll curl up in front of the fire.
- I feel awfully selfish.
- Don't be silly.
Uh, you better give me your clothes.
I'll dry those off, too.
[Rose] 'Alright. Just a minute.'
'Here come the boots.'
These may be a little tight in the morning
but I'll work over them for you.
[Marie] 'Here we are.'
- What about your shirt?
- 'Oh. Just a second.'
'Goodnight.'
Goodnight.
[ripping]
[ripping]
[Rose humming]
[instrumental music]
[Bruce] 'Ever see anything like that before?'
Oh, it's so lovely, it takes your breath away.
- Are we near it?
- What?
The place where I'm going to get my guide.
Near it?
That's three days North of here.
- Three days?
- 'All of that.'
Oh. Um..
What's the name of the place?
Hayman's Landing.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- 'What?'
That we were three days from there.
I wouldn't have bothered you.
'I could have gotten my guide at Peribonka.'
Well, that would have been silly.
This is just the way you want to go to get to Lake Platipi.
- Oh, is it?
- Yes.
Oh. It's taking you out of your way, though, isn't it?
Yes, it is, but I'll retrace my steps.
- Oh.
- Got your breath?
- Oh, yes, indeed.
- Come along.
[instrumental music]
- Hey, there!
- Yes, coming.
- Come on up here.
- Alright.
See how well trained I am?
You call me, and here I am.
We're still quite a way from Hayman's Landing.
I hoped we could get there before sundown
but I guess we can't. Like to camp here?
Yes. This is lovely.
Right. Come on.
Come on, get up.
[instrumental music]
Come on.
Uh. Here. Come on.
That's it. Go on. Take a roll for yourself.
'Go on.'
Say, you're getting pretty good.
Good? I'm perfect.
- Oh, cocky, aren't you?
- 'Very.'
Alright, let's see you make the fire tonight.
Alright, I will.
But not yet.
First, let's go see the sunset, hmm?
Alright.
This is the loveliest part of the day.
So peaceful and quiet.
No one could ask for more than this.
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt
"finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks
sermons in stones, and good in everything."
You're such a contradiction.
I can't understand how a man like you
can spend his life tracking people down
hunting some poor creature.
It isn't always pleasant.
So then why do you do it?
It happens to be my duty.
Well, I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do.
You've never had to.
But I took an oath when I entered this service.
I swore to well and truly obey all lawful orders
without fear or favor or affection toward any person
so help me God.
But, but I should think all this
would make you more charitable.
Don't ever think that nature is charitable.
Nature is the cruelest policeman in the world.
If any wild animal violates the law of the pack
the rest of them turn on him and kill him.
This man's just being taken back to be tried.
You sound so cruel.
A man has got to pay for what he does in this world.
The only cruel thing is when
others have to pay for it, too.
Would it make any great difference to you
in your job, I mean
if you didn't get your man?
It won't do me any good.
But you don't have to go on with this work.
You have such a fine voice, I know I could do
something for you.
I belong up here.
[indistinct singing]
No answer.
What are you thinking?
I was just thinking about that man you're going to.
You must love him very much.
Yes. Yes, I do.
- I'll go and make camp.
- Oh, no, not yet.
This is our last night together.
And there's the call again.
You answer him, all the way through.
I want to be sure I know the words.
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
My love call ringing clear
And I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
You'll belong to me
I'll belong
To you
I love you. I love you.
I've been wanting to tell you that for days.
And I love you.
That's the first time I've ever told that to anyone.
[indistinct singing]
If I should ever call you, would you answer me?
Nothing could stop me.
When I think if I had never come up here
I wouldn't have met you.
I'd never have known..
What is it?
What is it?
I've been thinking. We're not going to camp here.
What are we going to do?
We're going right on to Hayman's Landing.
- Tonight?
- Yes.
- But I thought you said...
- No, I've changed my mind.
We can't waste any more time.
I'll get your horse.
But..
This is where I leave you.
Oh, is it? Alright.
You can get everything you want here at the store.
They'll take care of you.
You want me to arrange for a guide for you?
Oh, no. No. I can do that, thanks.
You can arrange for horses here, too.
Then-then this is goodbye?
I'm afraid so.
But I'll see you again, won't I?
I don't imagine so.
But when you come to the city..
You won't want to see me.
But of course I shall.
You think so now.
But, well, it's this place
and the woods and being alone together.
It makes you lose your sense of values.
It's made me realize them.
When you get back to the city, you'll know I'm right.
You'll see all this in a different way.
You'll remember me for just what I am.
A policeman.
- Well, goodbye.
- Goodbye..
[instrumental music]
- Boniface cabin.
- Oh.
Oh, come on. Come on.
- Someone come.
- Boniface?
No. A white woman.
A woman?
Why-why, that looks like..
- Sis. Sis!
- Oh, Jack.
Oh, sis, why did you come?
I didn't want you mixed up in this.
Darling, I had to. I was afraid
I might never see you again.
- Who's he?
- He's alright. He's my guide.
- What happened to Boniface?
- Boniface ran away from me.
Alright, alright, come on inside.
Get him away from the cabin and keep your eye on him.
Come in, sis. Gee, it's good to see you.
I've been crazy. Come on here. Sit down.
Oh, no, no, let me look at you first.
Oh, you're so tall. Isn't it funny?
I didn't remember you were so tall.
I guess I wasn't the last time you saw me.
We've got an awful lot to catch up on, haven't we?
No, I know all about you from reading the papers.
Well, I-I guess I made the headlines myself
with my getaway, didn't I?
That's something that doesn't happen very often.
Oh, Jack, why did you run away?
Why didn't you stay where you were?
Oh, I don't know, sis.
I just wanted a little excitement, that's all.
If things aren't popping, I go off my nut.
- Is that the money?
- Oh, yes.
Yes. It's enough to last you for a year.
You don't know me. That's a starter. Thanks.
Have you got any plans? Do you know where you're going?
Well, I have a canoe all packed and ready to go.
I'll have to travel by night until I get out of here.
I thought I might go to China. You know, in China...
Jack, you're going to start off fresh, aren't you?
You're not going on like this?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. All I need is half a chance.
Well, this is it.
Off there, where no one knows anything about all this.
Yeah. Now, sis, tell me about this Indian, your guide.
- Where did you pick him up?
- At Hayman's Landing.
An officer brought me that far.
- A Mountie?
- Yes.
- Well, are you crazy?
- Oh, but it's alright.
I found out first, he didn't know anything
about where you were.
He-he left me this morning for Parabunka.
Oh, Parabunka. Well, that's swell.
I'm not taking any chances. I'm going to blow now.
But you'll let me know where you are, won't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Don't say it like that.
Jack, you're all I have left in the world.
We mustn't lose track of each other again.
Alright, sis. Whatever you say.
And you will be good, won't you?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll give it a fling.
[Bruce] 'Alright, Flower.'
Just forget about that gun. It won't do you any good.
Don't. Don't!
- Sorry. It's regulation.
- It's alright, sis.
But you don't understand. This is my brother.
I know.
You know?
I've known it all the time.
That's why I stuck with you.
So it was a game, the whole thing.
You were just using me.
Even telling me you loved me.
That was part of the game, too?
No, that was the truth.
I know it's hard to believe that I could love you
and still do this, but I do.
Then let him go! No one will ever know.
He's only a boy. Give him another chance.
You won't suffer for it, I promise you, only let him go!
Come on.
Oh, no. No. You can't do this!
I'm begging you. Don't do this.
Don't let this come between us for the rest of our lives.
You want to kiss your sister goodbye?
It's alright, sis. I guess I had it coming to me.
Goodbye.
- Oh, Jack.
- It's alright. It's alright.
Take it easy.
Okay. Let's go.
Oh, Susie, take care of my sister, will you?
[sobbing]
[instrumental music]
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting all alone
But when you hear
My love call ringing clear
and I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
[Marie sobbing]
You'll belong to me
I'll belong to..
[Marie sobbing]
Afraid I'm making it pretty tough for you.
No, no. You took it very well.
No, I didn't mean that. I meant her.
That couldn't be helped.
Do you have to stay up here much?
'Yep.'
I envy you.
Hey, uh..
You think there'll be much excitement
about this back in Montreal?
What?
You bringing me in.
Oh, probably.
You know.. You know, women are funny.
They don't seem to understand
you got to have some excitement.
Oh, take sis there, for instance.
She's been plugging away at that music
ever since I can remember.
I wouldn't work that hard for anybody.
Well, this isn't gonna be so bad.
At least, it will be something new.
I always did like something new.
Tell her that when you see her, will you?
I won't ever see her.
Well, you'd think it was you taking the rap
instead of me.
Come on, buck up.

[gunshot]
[Bruce singing]
What's the matter with her? Why did she stop?
Oh, it is this scene I was afraid of.
[singing in Italian]
[Bruce singing]
She was not well enough.
You should have canceled the performance.
She wouldn't let me cancel it.
[Bruce singing]
- What's the matter?
- I don't know.
She seems to be ill.
[singing in Italian]
[Bruce singing]
[screaming]
[singing continues]
There's something wrong with her.
Yes. She ought to be upstage.
[Bruce singing]
[Bruce singing]
Oh!
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Are they taking care of you the way I told them to?
- Yes, Myerson.
- Food alright? Service good?
Yes, thank you.
Anything else I can do for you?
- No, thank you.
- Sure? Nothing wrong?
No.
[exhales deeply]
What's the matter, Myerson?
If you'd only lose your temper and bawl me out
I'd feel better.
You haven't fired me in six months.
I was pretty mean to you, wasn't I?
You were right.
I guess everything I ever tried
to do for you was wrong
but I'm still trying.
I was talking to that South American today.
He offered you a grand contract, fine terms
beautiful tour.
I told him you'd do it.
No.
But why? Why?
I don't seem to care if I never sing again.
I haven't even run a scale since that night.
I think I've forgotten how to sing.
This trip is just what you need.
Oh, I suppose I'll have to start sometime.
I'll postpone it a couple of weeks.
- How's that?
- No, no, no, Myerson.
Wrong again.
Well, goodbye.
Goodbye, Myerson.
Thanks so much for coming all the way up here.
Sorry about the tour.
So am I. I was so sure you would be yourself again.
I was hoping, as I came up
to hear your voice echoing through the hills.
Well, I'm still trying.
[instrumental music]
So
Echoes of sweet love notes gently
Fa-a-a-a-all
Through the forest stillness
As the waiting
Indian
Lovers
Call
I can't always be wrong. Good luck.
Go on.
When I'm calling
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I will answer I will answer
Too-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Too-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
But if when you hear
My love call My love call
Ringing clear Ringing clear
And I hear your And I hear your
Answering echo Answering echo
So dear So dear
Then I will know Then I will know
Our Our
Love Love
Will Will
Come Come
True True
You'll belong You'll belong
To me To me
I'll belong I'll belong
To To

Get out. There's a show going on.
Sell your paper somewhere else.

That was E above high C.
[singing vibrato]
[singing in foreign language]
[singing in foreign language]
[instrumental music]
That was the worst orchestra
and the worst conductor I've ever sung with.
And what was the idea of holding every high A
longer than I did?
[applause]
[instrumental music]
- Who's been smoking in here?
- I have.
Teddy, give it to me.
You know how I detest smoking.
- Where'd you come from?
- New York.
I came to see if you'd changed your mind.
Now, Teddy, I told you in Cleveland
I told you in Detroit...
I thought it might be different in Montreal.
You're wasting a lot of carfare.
Go on back to New York and forget all about me.
Don't rush me. I'm going. Don't panic.
I've decided to reconsider.
You don't have to be in love with me.
I'll marry you anyway.
Now, Teddy, get out of here!
You're missing a great bet.
Think of all of father's millions.
Once and for all, I am not going to marry you.
I see. You're in love with somebody else.
No, I'm not in love with anyone.
- You sure?
- Absolutely positive.
- Go on home.
- Well, that's fine.
See you in Toronto.
[sighs]
What am I going to do with that lad, Roderick?
He's a very good match, madame.
What do I want of a good match? I have everything.
I have my work, I have fame, I have money.
- Everything but..
- But what?
I was going to say, love, madame.
Do you think I could fall in love with that silly boy?
Why, I could twist him around my little finger like that.
But I did not mean him, necessarily.
But they're all alike, stupid idiots.
Oh. Not all, madame.
Alright, if you see one that's different
you point him out to me, I'll show you.
The only man I'd waste a minute
thinking about is my brother.
Here is a letter from your brother.
- Oh. When did this come?
- At 5 o'clock.
Why didn't you give it to me before?
I did not want to upset you before your performance.
Oh, he heard me on the radio, Roderick.
- They let them listen.
- Oh, I'm glad of that.
Does he say anything about his parole?
"Last week, I went up before the parole board
"for my ticket of leave and... was refused.
Better luck next time. Your sincere admirer."
- Oh, Jack.
- Oh, please, please, madame.
Do not upset yourself.
I've got to do something for him, Roderick.
But he does not want you to, madame.
Well, I've listened to him long enough.
But it would only distress him.
He does not want to drag you into this.
Look how careful he's been.
Writing as if he did not know you.
As if he was just one of your fans.
But everything is different now.
Now that he's been refused.
What could you do, madame?
I don't know.
Imagine putting a boy in jail
just because he carried a gun.
But he held up a man with that gun.
- He didn't shoot him, did he?
- No, no, no..
I, I can't see anyone.
- Mr. Myerson, madame.
- Good evening, Roderick.
Oh, come in, Myerson.
You were beautiful, beautiful!
- Thank you, Myerson.
- And look what we took in.
Yes, yes. I'll look at it later.
[chuckles]
Broke the house record. Didn't it, Gordon?
You know Mr. Gordon, the manager of the house?
- Yes, yes.
- You were superb.
Uh, during my 20 years in this theater
I never heard a more lovely voice.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
And now if you'll excuse me
I'm not feeling very well.
Oh, dear, dear. I sensed that.
I could see it in your performance.
Miss de Flor has a terrible throat.
There's nothing wrong with my throat
and I never sang better in my life.
I just don't feel like seeing people, that's all.
- You understand, I'm sure.
- Of course, he understands.
Uh, you won't see anyone, mademoiselle?
There are one or two very important people...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- The premier, he's waiting.
- 'I can't help that.'
[Gordon] 'But he's come all the way from Quebec'
'just on purpose to hear Mademoiselle de Flor.'
'He's most anxious to meet her.'
- 'My dear fellow..'
- Uh, Myerson! Myerson!
Uh, I-I should be delighted to meet the Premier.
Ah, thank you. Thank you so much.
After all, it's more or less
like a command performance, isn't it?
- Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.
- I'll go and tell him.
- He's in my office.
- Very well.
I'll have the photographers all ready.
You'll do nothing of the sort.
Yes.
Temperamental as a hoot owl.
Roderick, change my shoes right away.
We've got to impress the Premier.
Oh, you do not have to do anything
to impress him, madame.
I watched him from the wings. Oh!
He was applauding and applauding.
- Oh, he was, was he?
- Oh, yes, madame.
He was crazy about you.
Roderick, I'm going to wear my new gown.
You know, the white one. And telephone Emil.
Tell him to prepare the finest supper he's ever served.
- The Premier is coming.
- Yes, madame.
Father, father, ooh!
Mademoiselle, Canada is proud of you.
You've given me more pleasure tonight
than I've had for years.
Hmm. That wouldn't be just patriotism, would it?
I assure you, I'd have to admit it
even if you were an American.
- Oh.
- My wife.
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
- And my sister-in-law.
- How do you do?
You had me enthralled all evening.
- Oh, thank you.
- Mrs. Carter.
And may I, too, tell you how beautiful you were?
- Oh, you're very kind.
- You were wonderful.
I never realized before how beautiful that opera was.
You're all so gracious.
And now I have a great favor to ask of you.
Would you do me the honor of having supper with me tonight?
I don't think we can.
Oh, you have another engagement?
I'm afraid we have, yes.
Oh, father, you know we haven't.
Now, Edith, you remember what Mr. Myerson said.
Mr. Myerson?
Uh, what did Mr. Myerson say?
He said that you had to rest.
Oh. Oh, dear Mr. Myerson. Always trying to protect me.
I don't know what I shall do without him
when he leaves me on Saturday.
Oh, but I insist.
After all, I can always rest
but I can't always entertain the Premier of Quebec.
We accept with pleasure.
Though I feel it's rather an imposition.
I feel I should do something for you.
- Perhaps you can sometime.
- I hope so.
[instrumental music]
[crowd cheers]
[cheering continues]
[orchestral music]
- My land, how could you?
- Oh, it's only a plate.
It's not one of your hotel plates. It's hers.
- What of it?
- You'll have to tell her.
I won't. She's not gonna blame me for that.
- Oh, shut up your mouth!
- 'Well, look what he's done.'
How can I cook with all this noise?
Why do you bother? She'll only
find something wrong with it.
Hah! If she complains once more, I'm through.
Fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes to get supper for ten!
Susan, who has been at the music?
How should I know?
Her favorite song. I cannot find it.
I wouldn't touch a piece of her music
if my life depended on it.
- Who opened that window?
- How should I know?
Shut it immediately.
You know how she is about drafts.
- Is she coming, Mrs. Roderick?
- Yes. Oh! What is that?
One of her plates but I didn't do it.
Go away. Hide it in the kitchen.
Light those candles.
She wants champagne cocktails right away!
Mrs. Roderick, what kind of a mood is she in?
Mr. Myerson got his notice.
Her favorite song. Her favorite song.
Well, here we are.
Green, take the gentlemen's coats and hats, please.
- Good evening, Susan.
- Good evening, madame.
Mr. Daniells, how nice of you to come.
Mr. Daniells plays for me. He's such a fine musician.
Do play something for us, Mr. Daniells.
- Your favorite song...
- Play something.
Do you hear me?
Who'd think you'd find anything like this in a hotel?
Oh, it's perfectly lovely.
I never dreamed the hotel had a suite like this.
Oh, I'm so glad you like it. These are all my own things.
I might have known.
I figured, since I couldn't live at home
I might as well have my home with me.
Susan, show the ladies to my room, please.
Yes, madame.
- Mr. Myerson.
- Coming.
Do see that the gentlemen have
what they want to drink, will you?
Now, I want to show you my most priceless possession.
More priceless possessions
among all these wonderful things?
Mm-hmm.
I wonder if Miss de Flor would mind if I smoked.
I'm sure I couldn't say.
There's my most priceless possession. Emil, my chef.
I stole him from Fouquet's when I was in Paris.
Well, I'm sure that Emil didn't object.
I don't know what I'd do without him.
What have you prepared for us this evening, Emil?
Filet aux champignons, madame.
- Sounds delicious.
- How is it?
I did the best I could, madame.
Mm! It is delicious.
It's all ready, too, isn't it?
I-I'm sorry, madame. Not f-for t-t-ten minutes.
Mm, that's perfect.
I'm sure you'd like a cocktail, wouldn't you?
- Yes, I would.
- So would I. Come on.
Well, here we are.
I know I shouldn't do this but I'm going to.
Are you sure you want us here tonight?
Forgive me if I seem impertinent
but you're worried about something, aren't you?
Worried?
Well, I'm so used to having people come to me
with their troubles that I recognize the symptoms.
- You're very keen.
- I don't mean to intrude.
Oh, don't say that.
Um, it's so lovely of you to be interested.
You're right. I-I am worried.
And I don't know which way to turn.
I've no one to talk to.
Well, if there's anything I can do to help..
Oh, thank you.
Perhaps later, if I could talk with you..
Why, of course.
Here's to a speedy departure of your troubles.
I feel better already.
[instrumental music]
Da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da...
Forgive me. Did you find everything you want?
Yes, thank you.
- Your voice is too beautiful.
- Oh, thank you.
What a lovely thing, that melody.
Please don't stop.
Oh, would you like me to sing?
Oh, indeed..
Really?
What would you like? You must choose.
Won't you sing that song that you sang on the radio?
Oh. Uh. "Pardon me, madame?"
- Yes.
- Have you that, Mr. Daniells?
Here you are, mademoiselle.
- Oh, fine.
- Please, please.
- Your cigarette.
- Oh, no, no.
That's quite alright.
I'll open the window for you.
Have we met before madame?
He said sweetly I froze him so completely
He continued sweetly
Pardon me madame
Am I such a boor madame?
This intrusion fills me with confusion
And for this intrusion
Pardon me madame
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Maybe I was all
To blame
I grew weary
And he whispered dearie
Let me tell you
How in love I am
As we kissed he held me oh so tightly
Saying so politely
Pardon me madame
And then she walked a little faster
And he did the same
[singing in foreign language]
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game..
[singing in foreign language]
And then she walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved to be a master
Of the walking game
[singing in foreign language]
And then I walked a little faster
And he did the same
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Ah
[singing in foreign language]
He quickly proved he was a master
Of the walking game
Oh he proved to be a master
So he walked a little faster
A little faster a little faster
A little faster a little faster
Have we met before
Madame
Madame
I smiled sweetly then he said discreetly
We'll forget completely
Pardon me
Madame
[gibberish]
Wasn't that marvelous?
Miss de Flor, Miss de Flor, look!
[applause and cheering]
- Supper's served, madame.
- 'Oh, thank you, Emil.'
- I hope you're all as hungry as I am.
- I'm very hungry.
Madame.
- There is a man...
- I can't see anyone now.
But he told me to give you this.
- Where is he?
- In the hall.
- Take him in my room.
- Yes, madame.
Oh, uh, oh, will you excuse me, please?
- Some stupid business has come up.
- Oh, certainly.
Mr. Myerson, will you act as host, please?
Thank you. Uh, don't wait for me.
Shall we, uh..
You come in here.
You wait here.
Madame, this is the man.
Where did you get this?
It's alright. You can talk in front of her.
- You know that man?
- Yes.
He ran away from the penitentiary.
He told me to bring it to you. He knew you would help.
- Well, where is he? Is he here?
- No.
- Then where?
- I can't tell you.
Oh, but you must tell me. I'll help you.
Where is he? Is he, is he safe?
- Is he alright?
- He's better now.
When I found him in the woods
he was very sick. Bullet in here.
And you left him alone with no one to care for him?
- My mother is with him.
- Oh.
Roderick, ask the Premier to come here.
- No, no.
- But you don't understand.
- I'm his sister.
- Sister?
Yes, and when the Premier knows.
I, I'm sure he'll help us.
No, no. He may know. He may have found out.
The mounted police who was sent after your brother is dead.
He killed him.
Oh.
Oh.
He say he can get away but he needs money.
Plenty of money to get out of the country.
- Roderick?
- 'Yes, madame?'
Tell Myerson to come here.
- How far is it?
- 'First train to Quebec.'
'Then boat, then woods.'
- When do you leave?
- 'Tonight.'
'There is a train, 1 o'clock.'
- I'm going with you.
- No. Give me the money.
It is better that I go alone. No one will know me.
I assure you they won't know me.
You couldn't do it. The trip is too hard.
I don't care. I'm going anyway.
Here. Take this. Go to the station.
And get two tickets for Quebec.
I'll meet you in ten minutes.
- Hurry.
- Where is the money for him?
I'll bring that. Go along.
- Mr. Myerson is coming.
- Alright.
Listen, Roderick, get that brown suit of mine.
You know, the old one with the suede jacket.
- Your suit?
- Yes. Hurry up.
- Come in, Myerson.
- W-w-what is it?
Myerson, I need money. Every cent you've got, quickly.
What is it, another bracelet?
Don't ask any questions. Just give it to me.
Roderick, throw some things
in that old bag of yours and get me your brown hat.
- Are you going someplace?
- Yes.
Don't forget, our train leaves in the morning at 10:45...
- I can't make it!
- What? What's this?
What are you gonna do? Where are you going?
[Marie] 'I can't tell you.'
Have you gone out of your mind?
What about your performances
your concert work, your radio job?
'Cancel them!' - Cancel them?
But they'll hold me responsible. I'll be ruined.
I'll have nothing to do with it.
- Besides, you fired me tonight!
- 'I take it back.'
Listen to reason. Roderick, speak to her.
Myerson, you've known me for a long time.
You know I wouldn't do this unless I were desperate.
I've got to go to someone.
- Someone who needs me terribly.
- Who is it?
[Marie] 'I can't tell you any more than that.'
Just give me some idea of how long you'll be.
I promise you I'll be back in New York in a month.
Alright. I'll try to fix it.
Oh, Myerson. You're a darling.
[dramatic music]
[music continues]

They sing as they go
What are those voices? As they go

Sergeant Bruce, the OC wants to see you immediately.
Thank you. Corporal?
[engine revving]
Come in.
- Good day, sergeant.
- Good day, sir.
The 80th division monthly returns.
You may go, Morris.
- Sit down, Bruce.
- Thank you, sir.
I'm sending you back to the woods.
But I just got down, sir.
Yes. I'm sorry to interfere with your social activities.
I'm sure the young ladies will be vastly disappointed.
Study that.
Boy was sent to jail for a holdup.
Escaped from penitentiary ten days ago.
As far as we know, he has no relatives.
- Got it?
- Yes, sir.
John Flower, 21 years old, 165 pounds
six feet one, dark blue eyes...
Alright. Alright. Do you think you'll recognize him?
[Bruce] 'Yes, sir.'
He's hiding up somewhere near Lake Sheboygan.
Oh, that's the case Bennett is on.
Wason. They found his body this morning.
When do I start, sir?
- At once, by plane.
- I'll do my best, sir.
You'll bring him back. You've never failed us yet.
Thank you, sir.
With your permission, sergeant.
May I wish you luck? Bring him back.
With my shield or on it, Watt.
Dead or alive

If you're the one
Better run better run away

[boat horn hooting]
This is Peribonka.
It's awfully desolate, isn't it?
Oh, yes. Montreal nice but not so desolate.
- Look. Montagnais tribe.
- Oh, yes.
They go upriver for big time tonight.
Every year, all nations of the Montagnais
hold a meeting. Sing, dance.
- You like to go?
- No. No, thank you.
[instrumental music]
[tribal music]
Heads up! Out of the way, girlie.
[instrumental music]
You ought to eat something before we start.
Maybe I will.
There's a good place over there.
Good music, good singing. You like it.
[indistinct chatter]
Oh, no. I don't think I'm so very hungry after all.
Maybe, maybe-maybe we'd better outfit first, huh?
- Oh, right over here, then.
- Yeah.
[instrumental music]
- Oh, how do you do?
- Hello.
I'd like to get some clothes for myself
and supplies for a ten day trip.
Outfit, huh? Other side.
What kind of an outfit you want?
- Goin' fishin'?
- Yes.
[male #2] 'Where are you goin'? Up north?'
- Well, uh..
- Lake Platipi.
Oh. Then I guess you'll need somethin' warm.
Now, let's see.
- Why did you tell him that?
- That's not where we go.
Oh.
[male #2] 'I guess this'll be about what you want, miss.'
Oh.
Is it the right size?
Main thing is to keep warm.
Now, let's see. You'll need some, uh, socks.
'Mittens, shirts.'
I'll give you a couple in case you get wet.
What'll it be, pants or skirt?
'Whatever you say.' - We'll try pants.
You'll need some high boots. What size do you wear?
- I don't know.
- Ha, ha, ha.
Don't even know what size shoe you wear.
- No.
- Let's see.
I'll have to give you a child's boot.
What are you lookin' for? Everything's here.
- Shirts, socks, and..
- It isn't that.
It-it's my purse, I, I left it in my pocketbook
when I went to try on that coat and it's not here.
If I lose that.. But I couldn't.
Miss, that fella that was with you.
Who? Boniface? Oh, he wouldn't.
Boniface.
Boniface! Boniface!
Boniface!
Oh, Boniface. Did you see him come out?
No, that's the trouble with those half-breeds.
You can't trust them.
But what am I going to do? That's all the money I have.
I'll tell you what to do. Come here.
You see that flag down there, the one at half-mast?
- Yes.
- Well, that's the Mounties.
They just lost one of their men but they've sent
somebody else to take his place. Sergeant Bruce.
'He's their crack man. He'll find him.'
'Don't you worry. You just go to him.'
'You want me to go along with you?'
No, no. No, thank you.
Uh, no. I'll go alone.
I'll hold your things for you.
If I see anything of that half-breed
I'll hold him, too!
Boniface!
[instrumental music]
Boniface!
Boniface! Boniface!
[dramatic music]
Boniface. Boniface.
Boniface.
Boniface!
[indistinct chatter]
[applause]
Looking for anybody, sister?
I, um, I wondered, uh..
Could you give me a job?
- Do you mean it?
- Oh, yes.
Well, I'd like to help you
but the only thing we got around here
is a dish washing job.
Well, I meant, uh, I meant singing.
Oh, I don't pay for that.
Look. She just get what they give her.
- Ever sing before?
- I, uh..
Now, come on. Come on. Tell me the truth.
Yes, I've sung before.
Well, it's on your own head. Come on.
Say, Joe.
Here's a gal wants to take a shot at a song.
- Oh, yeah?
- Well, fix her up, will you?
Say, give them something hot.
Hot.
What's it gonna be, toots?
I..
Here. Take your choice.
I-is this hot?
Oh, nothin' hotter. Listen.
[instrumental music]
Oh, could you, could you put it up a key, please?
That's the only key I know.
[instrumental music]
When are you going to start?
Well, I-I'm waiting for them to quiet down.
Oh, come on. Forget it. Let's go.
Is there anyone finer?
In her native Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me Dinah
With her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd love to be gazing
Into the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me
Dinah if she went to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Caro-Carolina
And you know her show her
Show her to me
Dinah with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd love to be gazing
Into the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might change her mind about me
Dinah if she went to China
I would hop and ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee
Oh, I feel so silly.
Don't get nervous, kid. You're alright.
You've got a pretty fair voice.
All you have to do is put a lot of pep to..
Here. Wait a minute.
Here's another old song. Try that.
Don't pay no attention to these mugs here.
Go on now. Put pep to it. Let's go.
Some of these days
You'll miss me honey
Some of these days
You'll need my loving..
[clamoring]
Hello, sergeant. How are you?
Hello, Belle! How are you?
Hello, Bruce. How are you? Glad to see you.
Hello, sergeant. I knew they'd send you up here after him.
Hello, Bruce.
- Hi, Bill.
- How are you?
Well, Lily! How are you?
You know you will grieve me..
Did you come down here to get that man?
I just came down to look around a bit.
- Aren't you scared?
- Well, you should be.
How long do you think it'll take you to get him?
Some of these days
You're going to feel so lonely..
Wait a minute.
Go on. Go on. Get her out of there.
Pep it up. Pep it up. Pep it up!
Okay. Okay.
When you're away
I feel so lonely
Just for you only
For you know honey
You've had your way
And when I leave you
You're gonna grieve me
You'll miss me baby
Some of these days
Some of these days
You're gonna miss me honey
Some of these days
You're gonna be so lonely
You'll miss my huggin'
You'll miss my kissin'
You'll miss me honey
When I'm away
I feel so lonely
Just for you only
And you know honey
You've had your way
Had your way
And when I leave you
You know you will grieve me
You're gonna miss your little baby
Baby some of these days
[clamoring]
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me. I'll be back later. Good night, dad.
- I'll be seeing you later, boy.
- What's the hurry, sergeant?
Oh, I got a little business to attend to. Good night.
Just a minute.
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your singing.
- Thank you very much.
- Not at all.
I think you have a very nice voice.
I might even go so far as to say
you have an exceptional voice.
Of course, I don't want to go too far
until we know each other better.
Don't you agree with me?
Is that so? Well, that's one point of view.
I always say it'd be a dull world if we all agreed.
You know, you mustn't feel discouraged
by what happened in there.
Belle was just afraid you'd cut in on her.
That's one thing about Belle though.
If she ever got lumbago, she couldn't sing a note.
You're right. This is much of a nicer walk.
This takes us right down by the detachment.
Why don't you go away and leave me alone?
I can't let you wander around by yourself.
I'm quite alright, thank you.
I think I'd better take you home.
- Where are you staying?
- At the hotel.
That's funny. You're not registered there.
No. No. I-I was just going to.
Haven't you any luggage? Any bags?
Yes. Yes. I left them at the store.
The proprietor's taking care of them for me.
Oh, you're the one who lost her money.
Come on in the office and tell me all about it.
Now, you just sit down
and make yourself comfortable.
- I've got your bag here.
- Oh, thank you.
"R." Is that it?
Yes. That's it. Thank you.
You should have come to me and reported this.
You don't think much of the mounted police, do you?
Now, first, your name.
- Rose.
- Rose?
Yes. Yes. R-O-S-E.
Rose Marie de Flor.
I always thought your name was just Marie de Flor.
That's a pretty name. Rose Marie.
Why don't you use the whole name?
I don't know what you're talking about.
That isn't my name, de Flor.
I admit you had me fooled when I first looked at you.
But I spotted you the minute I heard you sing.
I'd know your voice in a million.
- Oh.
- Age?
Uh, just past 21.
- Twenty-five.
- Uh, twenty-three.
Twenty-three.
Sex? Decidedly.
- Height?
- 5'5".
5'5".
- Weight. Um, 114.
- Sixteen.
Sixteen. Complexion? Lovely.
Hair, red.
Eyes..
Green.
Now, tell me what it's all about.
What are you doin' here?
Well, I, I see it's no use trying to lie to you.
I came up here to get away from people.
I wanted to be alone where I wouldn't be recognized.
Uh, that's why I didn't come to you when my bag was stolen.
You see, I thought if I, if I made any fuss about it
the reporters would be on my trail
and, well... that's exactly what I want to avoid.
I see.
But, um..
Well, I must find my money
and I must find my guide.
I have a pretty good idea of where he is.
There's a big Indian festival tonight.
Every Indian from miles around will be there.
Still, if you don't want him arrested...
Oh, well, if you'll just tell me where to find him.
I, I'm sure I can frighten him
into giving me back my money.
I'll do better than that.
I'll take you up there myself.
Oh, well, I don't want to take you away from your duty.
Oh, that's alright. I've got to go up there anyway.
Now, about this report..
Well, do you have to send that in?
Oh, it's just a matter of routine, in case you got lost.
- Oh, I see.
- Now, where are you going?
Well, uh, heh.
It's a little embarrassing to explain.
You know how it is when your every move is watched.
When, uh, when if you're just seen
well, talking with a man..
Oh, I, I suppose I might as well tell you everything.
I, um, I'm up here to meet someone.
I see.
You're so understanding.
That's why I have to find my guide.
You see, um..
Hesent him here to find me.
And, uh, well, I don't know exactly where I'm going
but I only know it's somewhere near Lake Platipi.
We'll say Lake Platipi.
This is going to be a little awkward.
What would you say was the object of your trip?
Well, couldn't we just say fishing?
Fishing.
[instrumental music]
It's a beautiful night, isn't it?
What? Oh. Oh, yes. Mm-hmm. Yes.
If you came up here for romance
I don't know why you have to go any further than this.
Look around you. You've got everything here.
Not quite.
Lookthisway, then.
If you don't go on with your paddling
we won't get to that festival.
Every time I realize that I'm helping you
to get to another man
it takes the heart out of me.
What's he like, anyway?
Why?
Oh, I just want to know what competition I'm up against.
I suppose he's some big banker.
No.
A poet, then.
I know I can't write poetry but I can recite it.
"Cannons to the right of them.
Cannons to the left of them."
No. He's not a poet.
A polo player maybe.
It's no use you going any further for that.
I play polo.
No. He's not a polo player either.
Then what is he? What's the attraction?
He's an Italian tenor.
He's got me there. I'm not an Italian.
But as for the singing..
[clears throat] Here goes.
Oh sweet Rose Marie it's easy to see
Why all who learn to know you love you
You're gentle and kind divinely designed
As graceful as the pines above you
There's an angel's breath beneath your sigh
There's a little devil
In your eye
Oh Rose Marie
I love you
Forever dreaming of you
No matter what I do I'll not forget you
Sometimes I wish that I had never
Met you
And yet if I should lose you
'Twould mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you
To rule me
My Rose
Marie
'How was that for a start?'
Oh, you have a lovely voice.
What about the song? Did you like it?
I suppose you just composed it
on the spur of the moment.
Every word came right from my heart.
Well, it was very pretty.
Well, let's try and remember. Let's see, now.
Oh Caroline I love you
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
It was Rose Marie a moment ago.
- What did I say?
- Caroline.
- Oh, did I say Caroline?
- Yes.
That's too bad.
What do you do? Change name to suit the girl?
- If it fits the rhythm.
- Oh, I see.
Oh Genevieve I love you
Oh Annabelle I..
That must come in very handy.
It doesn't work with some names.
It didn't work with Maude.
But then, nothing worked with Maude.
[instrumental music]
[percussive music]
We're just in time.
Oh, but there are hundreds of them.
I never dreamed things like this was still going on.
They do this every year.
'It's like a Mardi Gras to them.'
What's that they're carrying, corn?
Yes, it's their corn festival
to show their appreciation for a good crop.
- Oh, like our Thanksgiving.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- But we only thank one God.
They thank everybody.
The corn, the sun, the rain, the birds, their ancestors.
They do a thorough job. Come on, you'll see.
- Oh, but what about my guide?
- We'll look for him afterwards.
You couldn't find him now.
'Are you sure he won't leave?'
Uh, don't worry. They'll be celebrating for days.
Hi, Chief Whitestone!
You seem to know everybody, don't you?
Just about.
Oh, Cassie, hello. How are you?
- Are you dancing tonight?
- Yes.
[speaking in foreign language]
- Cassie, this is Rose Marie.
- How do you do, Cassie?
You know, I lived alone with her tribe for six months.
- Six months?
- Yep.
- No other white people at all?
- No.
No one to sing to?
No, um, Annabelles? No Carolines?
No one but Cassie.
When I caught myself singing to her, I went home.
[instrumental music]
[percussive music]
You can see more from here.
There you are. Better?
- Just a minute.
- Just in case you should fall.
But I'm perfectly safe, thank you.
Don't be too sure.
[intense music]
[ululating]
[music continues]
[ululating]
[singing in foreign language]
[music continues]
[ululating]
[music continues]
[singing in foreign language]
[music continues]
[upbeat music]
Oh, that was thrilling.
I suppose it is the first time.
- Have you seen it before?
- Yes, every year.
We have to police these things.
Oh, that's why you came up here.
No, I'm here tonight to get some information
about a man we're after.
- Just a minute.
- No, no. No. I'm too heavy.
Heavy? I could hold you like this for hours.
Well, we haven't got hours, I've
got to find my guide. Come on.
Oh, I was hoping you'd forgotten.
[Boniface] 'Come on. Come on, all Montagnais.'
'My treat. Come to my tepee.'
Oh!
- Hey, you!
- Oh!
I want to see you a minute. Come over here.
- This the man?
- No.
No. He's not the one.
You sure, now? He seemed pretty anxious to get away.
Yes. I'm positive.
Here. Wait a minute.
Drinking, huh?
You know what'll happen to you if you get caught bringing
any of that stuff in here?
Remember it. Get going.
Did your man look anything like that?
Well, he had, um..
He had dark hair and dark eyes.
That helps a lot.
Well, uh, maybe I could find him if I sort of
wandered around alone.
Alright. Go ahead.
I've got to see the boys about a little matter of my own.
Oh. Thanks.
If you see him, let me know. I'll slap him right in jail.
Don't be afraid of the publicity.
I'll keep your name out of it.
Yell out if you see him, understand?
- Yes, I will.
- Alright.
- Oh, how are you?
- Pretty good.
Say, will you ask your men if they've
seen anything of this John Flower?
[speaking in foreign language]
Well, he says he don't know.
If none of these boys don't see that man
you ask another tribe.
Alright. Thanks very much.
Boniface! Come here.
Give me that money or I'll turn you over to the police.
You tell police, I tell him about your brother.
Well, that's fine. Tell him.
Tell him that you're hiding a man from the police.
When he hears that, you'll probably spend
the rest of your life in jail. Come on.
No, no. Wait.
Oh. So you've changed your mind, have you?
Give it to me.
Now you'll take me the rest of the way.
And just to be sure this doesn't happen again
I'm leaving a letter for the police
explaining everything
just in case I don't return in ten days.
- You understand?
- Yes. Yes.
Better.
Here, take this and pick up
our supplies and things at the store.
Meet me at the wharf in an hour.
- Oh, hello.
- Oh!
Well, I'm ready to go back. What about you?
Mm-hmm. What about your man?
Did you find out anything about him?
- Not a thing.
- Oh, that's too bad.
That doesn't matter. We'll get him.
- What about your man?
- Not a thing.
Well, that's just dandy.
You can take your choice of rooms, miss. They're all empty.
She'd like that room at the front.
Give her anything she wants and charge it to me.
- Okay. Any luggage?
- Here's her bag.
I can never thank you enough for what you've done for me.
I haven't done a thing. I didn't find your guide.
Well, you know..
[chuckles]
I'm glad you didn't.
Are you? Well, that's more like it.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye? Where are you going?
I probably won't see you again.
I'll be in Montreal when you get back.
That's crazy. Why don't you wait here?
I'll be back in about a week.
Oh, no, I couldn't do that.
I'm not going to let you out of my sight tonight.
- You've got to go away.
- Not until dawn.
I've got hours yet.
We'll wake up the cook and get some food.
And then we'll watch the sun rise over the lake.
Oh, no. No, please. I can't.
Alright, then, I'll let you go.
But on one condition.
That you promise me that you'll wait here for me.
Well, alright. I'll promise.
- What?
- That I'll wait.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, Rose Marie.
Here you are, miss.
Now, if you want anything, you just holler out.
Thank you.
[instrumental music]
Oh Rose Marie I love you
You mean my very life to me
Of all the queens that ever lived
I'd choose you
To rule me
My Rose Marie
Aren't you afraid Caroline or Annabelle will hear you?
I don't care. Let them. I'll serenade you all night.
- Don't you dare.
- 'Here's one just for you.'
The night was stormy dark and cold
Till I recalled a song of old
A serenade
To your loveliness
For night was made
Just for your caress
Night
Has placed a million stars above you
Night
Has told the breeze to whisper of you
Night
Has brought the silver moonbeams too
Just for you
Just for you
For tonight
Will never come again dear
Though you may forget
When night is through
Keep this serenade
That the tender
Night has made
As a love song
Just
For
You
Au revoir Rose Marie
[whistling]
Hello, dad. What are you doing? Still toasting your heels?
- Not particularly.
- Couldn't you sleep?
Not so very much.
What's the matter, then?
Oh, I just got to figuring that this might be
the last time I'd see you alive.
[chuckles]
Rose Marie. Rose Marie de Flor.
De Flor, de Flor?
What sort of a name is that?
Sounds like a kind of soap.
Spanish, I think. It means flower.
Rose Marie flower.
Flower?
Why, the little..
Now, now, sergeant, just a minute.
I don't mind your singing out in the yard
but there's a limit.
Is she gone?
Yes. Did you hear her go?
No. Anything wrong?
Wrong? No. As a matter of fact, it couldn't be better.
It couldn't be better!
[instrumental music]
[music continues]
Get off for a minute to rest her.
- Boniface.
- 'Yes?'
Where are we?
That's Echo Rock.
That could not be on the map.
Well, show me just about where it is.
- Here.
- Oh, yes.
Now we go North to Hayman's Landing.
Oh, yes. Hayman's landing.
Then 18 miles beyond that to cabin where my mother live.
Which direction is that?
Straight East.
We've gone about a quarter of the way, haven't we?
Yes. You want to camp here for the night?
Oh, no. No, we'll go right along.
We've got a good head start. We don't want to lose it.
I'll give them a drink.
Call me when you're ready.
[echoing] Call me when you're ready.
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Hello!
[echoing] Hello!
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ah ah
Ah ah
Three blind mice
Three blind mice
See how they run
See how they run
Three blind mice three blind mice
See how they run see how they run
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife
Did ever you see such a sight in your life
As three blind mice
As three blind mice
Couldn't we save time by crossing here
instead of going way around?
- Yes.
- Well, let's do it, then.
Did you ever swim a horse before?
No. No, but.. But it's worth a try.
Come on. Let's go.
[instrumental music]
[intense music]
Help!
'Help!'
[Rose] Ah!
[instrumental music]
Rose Marie, are you alright?
[coughing] I guess so.
I'll get you some brandy.
[coughing] No, thank you.
Here. Take that wet coat off.
Let me help you.
Put this dry one on.
- No. No!
- Drink it.
- Better?
- Oh, sure.
- Want another swig?
- No.
Well, fancy meeting you here.
You didn't wait very long for me, did you?
No. I changed my mind.
Wasn't it rather sudden?
Oh, no, no, right after you left
my guide showed up.
- The one who stole your money?
- Oh, I was mistaken.
He hadn't stolen it.
He'd just taken it to buy food for this trip.
What has he gone to buy now?
Oh, he's just trying to catch my horse.
I'm sorry if I've delayed you.
Uh, thank you for everything, saving my life
but I'm quite alright now.
You don't have to bother about me anymore. You go along.
- I can't leave you alone.
- He'll be right back.
What if he doesn't turn up?
You don't even know where you're going.
Yes, I do. I know exactly where I'm going.
That's fine. I was afraid you didn't.
Well, thanks again for everything, all you've done.
You go along. You don't worry about me anymore, please.
- Anything you want before I go?
- No. No, thank you. Nothing.
Some food? I've got some beans.
- No, I don't like beans.
- Bacon?
- No. I hate bacon.
- Want me to build a fire?
No, nothing, thank you. Thank you.
Alright. So long.
Goodbye.
What did you say?
I didn't say a thing.
Sorry. I thought you said, "Thanks for the coat."
What about it, Hayburner? Tired?
Hungry?
Want to camp here for the night?
'Alright. You're the boss.'
We camp here.
There. Feel better?
[instrumental music]
[whistling]
[instrumental music]
[Bruce whistling]
Oh, hello there. Didn't he come back?
No.
Oh, that's too bad. But I wouldn't worry.
He'll probably show up someday.
It's too bad your horse followed his.
It kind of leaves you high and dry afoot.
It's a long way back to town
if you can find your way back.
You know, I'm always cooking more of these things
than I can eat.
It seems a shame to throw this stuff away.
Don't!
Are you hungry?
- Yes.
- But these are beans.
I don't care.
Come on over to the fire and I'll fill a plate for you.
Got loads of food over here.
Here we are.
If you stop eating for a second here's a place to sit down.
Thanks.
Oh. Mm-hmm.
Bacon? You mean you want some?
- Please.
- Not bacon.
Didn't you say you hated bacon?
- Want some tea?
- Yes, please.
- Sugar?
- No, thank you.
- Lemon?
- Mm-hmm.
Fresh out of lemon.
I've never tasted anything better in my life.
Here. Let me fix that for you.
- What?
- This right here.
Oh, thanks for the coat.
That's alright.
I don't know what I'd have done without it.
It was so cold and dark down there.
And the strangest noises.
- Thanks.
- There. All set?
Mm-hmm.
Where are you going?
I'm going to take a look at the horses.
Oh, do you mind much if I go along?
It's just a step. You stay here and finish.
Well, you-you won't be gone long, will you?
Hmm?
[bushes rustling]
S-ser-sergeant.
Sergeant!
Sergeant!
- Sergeant!
- 'What's the matter?'
Something's chasing me!
Oh, there's nothing chasing you. What do you mean?
There's something in the bushes.
It's probably just a deer or a rabbit.
- Oh.
- Come on back to the fire.
Nothing will harm you while you're over there.
- Are you coming along?
- Yes, I'm coming along.
- Had enough to eat?
- Oh, yes, thank you.
Doesn't anything ever frighten you?
- Sure.
- What?
Well, I couldn't get up on a stage
in front of thousands of people and sing.
- Oh, that's nothing.
- That would scare me stiff.
[indistinct singing]
What is that? I heard it before.
Just an Indian.
Makes you feel kind of funny, doesn't it?
Listen.
[indistinct singing]
That's his girlfriend.
What is it, a signal between them?
It's an old Indian legend.
Once upon a time, there was an Indian
who loved an Indian girl of a different tribe
and their families were enemies.
Sort of a Romeo and Juliet affair.
That was supposed to be their call to each other.
What happened to them?
Well, their families found out about them
and they were both sentenced to die.
Oh.
The Indians say that their spirits
still live in the happy hunting ground.
And when a lover gives that call
they echo it, sending it on
until it reaches the one he loves.
Lovely, isn't it?
Oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oo-oo
So
Echoes of sweet love notes gently fall
Through the forest stillness
As the waiting
Indian lovers
Call
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
My love call
Ringing clear
And I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
You'll belong to me
I'll belong
To
You
Oh, I'm sorry. Do you object to smoking?
Oh, no. I like it.
What is it, some special brand?
A cheap kind I know.
Funny.
What are you going to do tonight, wait up for your guide?
I don't know.
You better take my tent for the night.
By the way, aren't your feet a little damp?
I'm a little damp all over.
You better go in there and take your boots off.
Give 'em to me and I'll dry them out for you.
What about you? Where will you sleep?
I'll be alright. I'll curl up in front of the fire.
- I feel awfully selfish.
- Don't be silly.
Uh, you better give me your clothes.
I'll dry those off, too.
[Rose] 'Alright. Just a minute.'
'Here come the boots.'
These may be a little tight in the morning
but I'll work over them for you.
[Marie] 'Here we are.'
- What about your shirt?
- 'Oh. Just a second.'
'Goodnight.'
Goodnight.
[ripping]
[ripping]
[Rose humming]
[instrumental music]
[Bruce] 'Ever see anything like that before?'
Oh, it's so lovely, it takes your breath away.
- Are we near it?
- What?
The place where I'm going to get my guide.
Near it?
That's three days North of here.
- Three days?
- 'All of that.'
Oh. Um..
What's the name of the place?
Hayman's Landing.
- Why didn't you tell me?
- 'What?'
That we were three days from there.
I wouldn't have bothered you.
'I could have gotten my guide at Peribonka.'
Well, that would have been silly.
This is just the way you want to go to get to Lake Platipi.
- Oh, is it?
- Yes.
Oh. It's taking you out of your way, though, isn't it?
Yes, it is, but I'll retrace my steps.
- Oh.
- Got your breath?
- Oh, yes, indeed.
- Come along.
[instrumental music]
- Hey, there!
- Yes, coming.
- Come on up here.
- Alright.
See how well trained I am?
You call me, and here I am.
We're still quite a way from Hayman's Landing.
I hoped we could get there before sundown
but I guess we can't. Like to camp here?
Yes. This is lovely.
Right. Come on.
Come on, get up.
[instrumental music]
Come on.
Uh. Here. Come on.
That's it. Go on. Take a roll for yourself.
'Go on.'
Say, you're getting pretty good.
Good? I'm perfect.
- Oh, cocky, aren't you?
- 'Very.'
Alright, let's see you make the fire tonight.
Alright, I will.
But not yet.
First, let's go see the sunset, hmm?
Alright.
This is the loveliest part of the day.
So peaceful and quiet.
No one could ask for more than this.
"And this our life, exempt from public haunt
"finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks
sermons in stones, and good in everything."
You're such a contradiction.
I can't understand how a man like you
can spend his life tracking people down
hunting some poor creature.
It isn't always pleasant.
So then why do you do it?
It happens to be my duty.
Well, I wouldn't do anything I didn't want to do.
You've never had to.
But I took an oath when I entered this service.
I swore to well and truly obey all lawful orders
without fear or favor or affection toward any person
so help me God.
But, but I should think all this
would make you more charitable.
Don't ever think that nature is charitable.
Nature is the cruelest policeman in the world.
If any wild animal violates the law of the pack
the rest of them turn on him and kill him.
This man's just being taken back to be tried.
You sound so cruel.
A man has got to pay for what he does in this world.
The only cruel thing is when
others have to pay for it, too.
Would it make any great difference to you
in your job, I mean
if you didn't get your man?
It won't do me any good.
But you don't have to go on with this work.
You have such a fine voice, I know I could do
something for you.
I belong up here.
[indistinct singing]
No answer.
What are you thinking?
I was just thinking about that man you're going to.
You must love him very much.
Yes. Yes, I do.
- I'll go and make camp.
- Oh, no, not yet.
This is our last night together.
And there's the call again.
You answer him, all the way through.
I want to be sure I know the words.
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
My love call ringing clear
And I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
You'll belong to me
I'll belong
To you
I love you. I love you.
I've been wanting to tell you that for days.
And I love you.
That's the first time I've ever told that to anyone.
[indistinct singing]
If I should ever call you, would you answer me?
Nothing could stop me.
When I think if I had never come up here
I wouldn't have met you.
I'd never have known..
What is it?
What is it?
I've been thinking. We're not going to camp here.
What are we going to do?
We're going right on to Hayman's Landing.
- Tonight?
- Yes.
- But I thought you said...
- No, I've changed my mind.
We can't waste any more time.
I'll get your horse.
But..
This is where I leave you.
Oh, is it? Alright.
You can get everything you want here at the store.
They'll take care of you.
You want me to arrange for a guide for you?
Oh, no. No. I can do that, thanks.
You can arrange for horses here, too.
Then-then this is goodbye?
I'm afraid so.
But I'll see you again, won't I?
I don't imagine so.
But when you come to the city..
You won't want to see me.
But of course I shall.
You think so now.
But, well, it's this place
and the woods and being alone together.
It makes you lose your sense of values.
It's made me realize them.
When you get back to the city, you'll know I'm right.
You'll see all this in a different way.
You'll remember me for just what I am.
A policeman.
- Well, goodbye.
- Goodbye..
[instrumental music]
- Boniface cabin.
- Oh.
Oh, come on. Come on.
- Someone come.
- Boniface?
No. A white woman.
A woman?
Why-why, that looks like..
- Sis. Sis!
- Oh, Jack.
Oh, sis, why did you come?
I didn't want you mixed up in this.
Darling, I had to. I was afraid
I might never see you again.
- Who's he?
- He's alright. He's my guide.
- What happened to Boniface?
- Boniface ran away from me.
Alright, alright, come on inside.
Get him away from the cabin and keep your eye on him.
Come in, sis. Gee, it's good to see you.
I've been crazy. Come on here. Sit down.
Oh, no, no, let me look at you first.
Oh, you're so tall. Isn't it funny?
I didn't remember you were so tall.
I guess I wasn't the last time you saw me.
We've got an awful lot to catch up on, haven't we?
No, I know all about you from reading the papers.
Well, I-I guess I made the headlines myself
with my getaway, didn't I?
That's something that doesn't happen very often.
Oh, Jack, why did you run away?
Why didn't you stay where you were?
Oh, I don't know, sis.
I just wanted a little excitement, that's all.
If things aren't popping, I go off my nut.
- Is that the money?
- Oh, yes.
Yes. It's enough to last you for a year.
You don't know me. That's a starter. Thanks.
Have you got any plans? Do you know where you're going?
Well, I have a canoe all packed and ready to go.
I'll have to travel by night until I get out of here.
I thought I might go to China. You know, in China...
Jack, you're going to start off fresh, aren't you?
You're not going on like this?
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, sure. All I need is half a chance.
Well, this is it.
Off there, where no one knows anything about all this.
Yeah. Now, sis, tell me about this Indian, your guide.
- Where did you pick him up?
- At Hayman's Landing.
An officer brought me that far.
- A Mountie?
- Yes.
- Well, are you crazy?
- Oh, but it's alright.
I found out first, he didn't know anything
about where you were.
He-he left me this morning for Parabunka.
Oh, Parabunka. Well, that's swell.
I'm not taking any chances. I'm going to blow now.
But you'll let me know where you are, won't you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.
Don't say it like that.
Jack, you're all I have left in the world.
We mustn't lose track of each other again.
Alright, sis. Whatever you say.
And you will be good, won't you?
Yeah. Yeah.
I'll give it a fling.
[Bruce] 'Alright, Flower.'
Just forget about that gun. It won't do you any good.
Don't. Don't!
- Sorry. It's regulation.
- It's alright, sis.
But you don't understand. This is my brother.
I know.
You know?
I've known it all the time.
That's why I stuck with you.
So it was a game, the whole thing.
You were just using me.
Even telling me you loved me.
That was part of the game, too?
No, that was the truth.
I know it's hard to believe that I could love you
and still do this, but I do.
Then let him go! No one will ever know.
He's only a boy. Give him another chance.
You won't suffer for it, I promise you, only let him go!
Come on.
Oh, no. No. You can't do this!
I'm begging you. Don't do this.
Don't let this come between us for the rest of our lives.
You want to kiss your sister goodbye?
It's alright, sis. I guess I had it coming to me.
Goodbye.
- Oh, Jack.
- It's alright. It's alright.
Take it easy.
Okay. Let's go.
Oh, Susie, take care of my sister, will you?
[sobbing]
[instrumental music]
When I'm calling you
Will you answer too
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting all alone
But when you hear
My love call ringing clear
and I hear your answering
Echo so dear
Then I will know
Our love
Will come true
[Marie sobbing]
You'll belong to me
I'll belong to..
[Marie sobbing]
Afraid I'm making it pretty tough for you.
No, no. You took it very well.
No, I didn't mean that. I meant her.
That couldn't be helped.
Do you have to stay up here much?
'Yep.'
I envy you.
Hey, uh..
You think there'll be much excitement
about this back in Montreal?
What?
You bringing me in.
Oh, probably.
You know.. You know, women are funny.
They don't seem to understand
you got to have some excitement.
Oh, take sis there, for instance.
She's been plugging away at that music
ever since I can remember.
I wouldn't work that hard for anybody.
Well, this isn't gonna be so bad.
At least, it will be something new.
I always did like something new.
Tell her that when you see her, will you?
I won't ever see her.
Well, you'd think it was you taking the rap
instead of me.
Come on, buck up.
[Marie singing opera]
[singing in Italian]
[instrumental music]
[Bruce singing]
[singing in Italian]
[Bruce singing "Indian Love Call"]
[Bruce singing]
[gunshot]
[Bruce singing]
What's the matter with her? Why did she stop?
Oh, it is this scene I was afraid of.
[singing in Italian]
[Bruce singing]
She was not well enough.
You should have canceled the performance.
She wouldn't let me cancel it.
[Bruce singing]
- What's the matter?
- I don't know.
She seems to be ill.
[singing in Italian]
[Bruce singing]
[screaming]
[singing continues]
There's something wrong with her.
Yes. She ought to be upstage.
[Bruce singing]
[Bruce singing]
Oh!
[indistinct chatter]
[instrumental music]
No, thank you.
No, thank you.
Are they taking care of you the way I told them to?
- Yes, Myerson.
- Food alright? Service good?
Yes, thank you.
Anything else I can do for you?
- No, thank you.
- Sure? Nothing wrong?
No.
[exhales deeply]
What's the matter, Myerson?
If you'd only lose your temper and bawl me out
I'd feel better.
You haven't fired me in six months.
I was pretty mean to you, wasn't I?
You were right.
I guess everything I ever tried
to do for you was wrong
but I'm still trying.
I was talking to that South American today.
He offered you a grand contract, fine terms
beautiful tour.
I told him you'd do it.
No.
But why? Why?
I don't seem to care if I never sing again.
I haven't even run a scale since that night.
I think I've forgotten how to sing.
This trip is just what you need.
Oh, I suppose I'll have to start sometime.
I'll postpone it a couple of weeks.
- How's that?
- No, no, no, Myerson.
Wrong again.
Well, goodbye.
Goodbye, Myerson.
Thanks so much for coming all the way up here.
Sorry about the tour.
So am I. I was so sure you would be yourself again.
I was hoping, as I came up
to hear your voice echoing through the hills.
Well, I'm still trying.
[instrumental music]
So
Echoes of sweet love notes gently
Fa-a-a-a-all
Through the forest stillness
As the waiting
Indian
Lovers
Call
I can't always be wrong. Good luck.
Go on.
When I'm calling
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I will answer I will answer
Too-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Too-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
That means I offer
My love to you
To be your own
If you refuse me
What shall I do
Just waiting
All alone
But if when you hear
But if when you hear
My love call My love call
Ringing clear Ringing clear
And I hear your And I hear your
Answering echo Answering echo
So dear So dear
Then I will know Then I will know
Our Our
