Katya, tanya.

Miss hull, I think the

children can go to bed now.

Yes, your ladyship. But aunt

Anna, we haven't seen you yet.

Ivan.

Well? Everything's going to be all right.

What is it, kitty? How

beautiful you look, Anna.

Aunt Anna, are you going to the

ball? Oh, do show us your dress.

I will, as soon as you're in bed. Promise?

Promise.

Promise?

Promise. When is the ball?

Tomorrow, at the meskovs'.

Come along, children.

Don't bother her ladyship.

Come here, child. Thank

you, darling. You too, ivan.

Come along, katya.

There we are.

Kitty, I know why you

want me to go to the ball.

You want everyone

to share in your happiness.

I met captain vronsky

at the station, you know.

Well, what has stepan

been telling you?

The whole story.

His mother says

he's quite a hero.

But of course,

mothers are prejudiced.

What a pity your husband

couldn't come.

I can't imagine alexey

alexandrovitch karenin dancing.

He'd be quite lost without

state papers in his hands.

All right, children,

you can go to bed now.

My wife...

the finest, the sweetest, the kindest

wife a man could ever wish for.

Anna. Dolly, dear, I'm so glad.

Good night, mother.

Good night.

Good night, darling.

Good night, darling.

All right, children, you can say

good night to your father now.

Good night, little ones. Good

night, good night. Good night.

Now off to bed like good

little children. There we are.

Good night. Don't forget

your promise, aunt Anna.

No, I won't, my darling.

Now I must hurry.

I haven't even unpacked yet.

Tell his excellency i

just want a word with him.

I'll wait here.

Good evening.

Do I disturb you?

I just wanted to know if

you're going to join us...

at the club dinner we're

arranging for wednesday night.

It is nice of you, but you

shouldn't have gone out of your way.

We should have met anyway at

the meskovs' ball. Of course!

But then I... I wasn't sure you were going.

Waltz]

Oh, Anna,

what a wonderful dress.

Anna arkadyevna.

Dear prince.

Oh, yes, it's wonderful. Kitty,

the happiness in your eyes...

is lovelier

than any dress.

My dear.

Anna, darling.

Dance]

Will you forgive me?

Anna arkadyevna.

Good evening, count.

How delightful to see you again in moscow.

You can't refuse me

this, can you?

My dear korsunsky,

you know very well...

i never dance

unless I can help it.

You can't today.

You're much too beautiful.

In that case, let us dance.

I'm so sorry, kitty.

I hadn't seen you.

Would you care

to dance?

With pleasure, count.

Waltz]

Ladies and gentlemen,

kindly take your partners

for the polonaise.

Would you do me the honor

of dancing with me?

Jean Anouilh

Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh (French: [ʒɑ̃ anuj]; 23 June 1910 – 3 October 1987) was a French dramatist whose career spanned five decades.
