at the local drama society?

What should I say

so as not to be laughed at?

Surely you're not offended?

No, but maybe you can say better

what an actor is, so I'll know,

You know how many women come here?

How many of them

are willing to do anything?

Beautiful like you, maybe more so,

beautiful whores,, .

So?

Mostly they're so primitive, modest,

that their willingness depresses me,

I send them away with no test.

It might be quicker

if you say what you need

and I'll see if I can satisfy you,

Hello, may I have a word?

Miss, I mean you, may I have a word?

I don't believe this!

- May I?

- Keep your hands off me.

My name's Golfiero Goffredi,

I'm about to start a film.

- Get lost, it's nota good day,

- No, listen to me!

I told you not to touch me!

- I want to offeryou a part,

- In what film?

"LostWoman".

Never heard of it,

never saw it announced,

In fact it's my first film,

I have to produce it myself,

Doris Duranti

should have played the part,

butshe's close to a Minister,

he forbade her to work with me.

- Why?

- Fascists don't like me.

It's mutual.

. I'm just a lowly extra.

. I know, I saw you.

. In what?

. In the "The Sultan's Son".

You were weaving the princess's veil.

. I didn't even speak!

. You spoke in " Meridian Fury".

- How can you remember that?

- You spoke well.

If you're not the friend of some

Fascist Party head who forbids you...,

. I'm no one's friend.

. Good.

But first we'll need a screen test,

In your office or maybe your house?

What? I just want my actress!

Silvestro, good evening,

Whata beautiful home.

. Would you like something to drink?

. Yes, please.

Excuse me, my Lord Count,

Dinner is served.

Thank you, Silvestro,

You can go, thank you.

Excuse me dear, no offence intended,

but the knife in the mouth

is just too much, it's not done.

First, back straight,

no elbows on the table, ever,

Hold yoursilverware like this.

See?

It's very simple.

Try it.

What's this got to do with cinema?

You'll have to enchant the smart set.

They mustn't think

they're watching a peasant girl.

People will identify with you,

Becoming a star

carries great responsibility.

Want to turn me into a grande dame?

I don't wantanyone

to make you feel awkward.

. Thank you for lending it to me.

. Keep it.

She was German,

she brought the cold with her.

I'll give it to you,

I'll send the costume designer

to pick you up tomorrow,

I want him to study you,

so he'll know what's good on you,

And your hair, I don't know...,

These bangs... you have a nice

forehead, you should show it.

Maybe you'd look best

with your hair undone,

I can't believe

this is happening to me,

Don't think about it, sweet dreams.
