...so important as you.

- A diplomat...

- or a traitor.

I said it, traitor.

- Now, quiet, Serge.

- The time has come when I can't be quiet.

There's something growing here that's

going to make me shout out...

...the whole truth one day.

You want to die so badly?

I'm dead now.

Just as surely as though there were

a bullet in my heart.

You killed me.

No. The brandy.

No, no, no. You.

Then why don't you give me up?

- I will.

- Well, do.

Come in.

- So you're going to the Pavilion?

- Yes.

- Much gambling.

- Caron, are you coming with us?

Sorry, my dear,

but I have to be in court at 9.

- Most important case.

- Too bad, too bad.

- Shubin?

- Madame, I must be leaving.

I'm due at the embassy now.

Good night.

Good night, general.

- Tonight, late supper?

- No.

Tonight.

I thought it was all over.

Well, tomorrow, then.

I must help you to give me up.

Please, tomorrow.

Good night, General Shubin.

Good night.

Madame Mata Hari's car!

To the Pavilion.

To the Pavilion.

Eight.

Ten.

Four thousand francs.

Here you are, sir.

I have charted all gun emplacements

and air batteries.

- Good. You were attached to me as a cook?

- Yes, sir.

- Technical expert, eh?

- Yes, sir.

- With the rank of captain.

- That's right, sir.

- You're a good soldier?

- I hope so.

- And a good German?

- Yes, sir.

Some months ago, I furnished you

with plans and specifications...

...of a new weapon called the tank.

- Oh, yes, yes.

- You laughed at it, said it was impractical.

That's my belief, sir.

Well, captain, those impractical tanks

went into action in the Somme yesterday...

...costing your country 2o kilometers

of front and 18,ooo casualties.

- Impossible.

- So you said before.

Here are a few more of your

mistaken conclusions.

Correct them.

- Send Mademoiselle carlotta here.

- Yes, sir.

Well, I was able to deliver

your message, Andriani.

Mata Hari is here.

Thank you, carlotta.

That's what I wanted to know.

- Any more orders?

- No. No, just run along and enjoy yourself.

All right. Good night.

Dear lady.

Oh, good evening.

Won't you have my seat?

It's lucky.

It will be so much nicer to watch you.

- Thank you.

- A thousand francs for the bank.

- Two thousand.

- Ten thousand.

- Ten thousand.

- Ten thousand.

Madame.

Are you playing?

Never against you.

Any more bets?

Leon. Monsieur Leon.

- Oui, madame.

- I want some chips for this.

I'm sorry, madame.

We do not accept jewelry.

Perhaps one of the players.

You take it, madame.

He paid 1 o, ooo francs for it.

Who paid 1 o, ooo francs?

Whoever he was, he paid 1 o, ooo for it.

I'll sell it for 5.

He had very good taste.

- It's an unusual ring.

- May I buy it for you?

Benjamin Glazer

Benjamin Glazer (May 7, 1887 – March 18, 1956) was a screenwriter, producer, foley artist, and director of American films from the 1920s through the 1950s. He made the first translation of Ferenc Molnár's play Liliom into English in 1921. His translation was used in the original Broadway production, in the 1930 film version, and in every production in English of the play until recently. It also served as the basis for the libretto for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel, as well as for Phoebe and Henry Ephron's screenplay for the 1956 film version of the classic musical. Glazer was born in Belfast, Ireland, into a Hungarian Jewish family. After moving to the United States, he studied at the University of Pennsylvania Law School and passed the bar exam to become a lawyer in 1906. Glazer was one of the founding members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He is best known for his Oscar-winning writing for 7th Heaven (1927) and Arise, My Love (1941). Additional screenwriting credits include The Merry Widow, Flesh and the Devil, Mata Hari, A Farewell to Arms, We're Not Dressing, and Tortilla Flat. Glazer also directed one film, the 1948 Song of My Heart, a highly fictionalized biography of Tchaikovsky. Glazer was married to actress Sharon Lynn. He died of circulatory failure in Hollywood, at the age of 68. more…
