Loving Memory Page #3

Synopsis: The film concerns an elderly couple played by Rosamund Greenwood and Roy Evans, who we later discover to be brother and sister, who accidentally run over and kill a young cyclist played by David Pugh on a lonely northern moor - but instead of reporting the incident to the police the woman decides to take the corpse home with them. There she dresses him in the clothes of a second brother, killed in the Second World War, shows him her photo-albums, and tries to engage him in conversation. Her brother, meanwhile, gathers wood to build a coffin. Greenwood has the only speaking part in the movie and largely carries it; she gives a subtle, heart-rending performance as a sister clinging to her past. Memories of the War hang heavily over the house - quite literally in the form of an aircraft propeller suspended from the ceiling that the woman booby-traps in order to prevent her brother burying the corpse.

just thinking of you

# And the way you look tonight #

Haven't drank your tea again.

Ambrose had left

before I came down.

He's blasting the mine at ten.

'Should hear it any time now.'

(Cuckoo calls)

(Clock chimes)

(Hissing)

(Muffled explosions)

(Flies buzzing)

What would we do

if Ambrose was hurt?

The explosion was very big, you know.

Could have been badly hurt.

(Clock chimes)

He's never been this late before.

(Birds twitter)

(Door opens)

I keep telling Ambrose about

the propeller and how it could fall.

Two small hooks

aren't strong enough.

It's a heavy thing, you know.

It's not safe,

you sitting there in line with it.

Only wants door to bang

and it'd all fall.

If the mattress were moved...

You'd be better there.

You have to bend right low

to get under it.

Eh, these floorboards.

Not safe at all.

Better make them safe

before Sunday.

Oh.

(Thud)

Easy to fall like that.

(Clattering)

Oh, these floorboards!

You look much better.

Better than you've looked

for a long time.

It's worn well, you know.

But then, you've looked after it.

Can't understand Ambrose.

No need for you to go at all.

Washed and pressed

all his best for tomorrow.

Found some of your shirts

under a pile in his room.

Turns ever so funny

if he knew I'd been in.

He's got a pair of your boots

in there, too.

Better to make it safe for tomorrow.

Be all right.

Be all right, James. Be all right.

(Plane roars overhead)

Be all right. You'll see.

(Door creaks)

(Footsteps)

(Birdsong)

(Digging)

(Hens cluck)

(Footsteps)

(Thud)

(Vibrating)

(Vibrations stop)

(Clock ticks)

(Kettle hisses)

(Flies buzzing)

(Clatter)

(Clattering)

(Clang)

(Footsteps)

(Squeaking)

(Thud)

(Scraping)

(Crash)

(Ragtime music)

# Button up your overcoat

# When the wind is free

# Take good care of yourself

# You belong to me

# Eat an apple every day

# Go to bed by three

# Take good care of yourself

# You belong to me

# Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh

# Don't eat meats, ooh-ooh

# Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh

# Don't get a pain-a-roo

in your tum-tum

# Keep away from bootleg hooch

# When you're on a spree

# Take good care of yourself

# You belong to me
