Why, you sweet idiot.

Don't ever say that.

There'll be no one else,

Ever.

I've tried, my darling.

It isn't any good.

If ever you weren't there,

I'd stop living.

I'd stop breathing.

I'd stop

Wanting to breathe.

Don't ever stop watching me,

My darling.

Don't ever go away.

We must tell

Aunt Sheila.

And father.

Come on.

Wait a minute! What are we

Going to tell them?

That we're going

To be married.

But when?

Day after tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Why, you shameless hussy!

Aunt Sheila!

So it's finally happened,

After all these years.

Congratulations.

Gerald!

Gerald, dear.

All my love, Kitty,

For you both.

Congratulations,

Alan.

Thanks, Gerald.

Oh, this is

The way it should be.

I'm happy about it.

Mother!

Mother, come here!

We've news for you.

These two have

Gotten themselves engaged.

We're getting married

Tomorrow.

Darling,

That's splendid.

I'm very happy.

I know

You will be,

Both of you.

We shall all

Be together now.

Always.

Do you mind

If I run?

I can't wait

To tell father.

I think you ought

To come with me.

I fully intend to.

We'll be back.

It's all right, mother.

Gerald,

This came a moment ago.

It's for you.

I took it from a boy

In the drive.

I do hope...

We've got to go back.

We're going out from folkestone

Early tomorrow morning.

Oh, Gerald, no.

Must be a big push on.

All leaves been cancelled.

Those poor children.

They wanted

To be married.

Yes.

I shall have to tell them.

So there's no chance?

Nothing we can do?

There must

Be some way.

You've known us

Since we were children.

This means so much

To us now.

There may

Never be...

I know.

I'm sorry.

Two hours ago, you might have

Secured a special license.

Now... It's too late.

I know how you feel,

But try to see that

Alan will be back soon,

And you'll be

Married here.

We'll arrange it beforehand,

And... It won't be long.

Who knows

How long it'll be?

Thank you anyhow.

You've been

Very patient with us.

God bless you

And bring you

Back to this church,

To the marriage

That you want.

Thank you.

Well, Kitty,

Nobody will marry us.

After all these years,

We were two hours too late.

And I wanted that for us

So much.

Two hours, Kitty.

Two hours that would have

Changed our lives.

No. They're not going to

Change our lives.

Alan, we don't need

Anyone to marry us.

I'm going to folkestone

With you.

Darling.

I marry you, Alan trent,

In front of a church.

And I marry you,

Kitty Vane,

For always...

Until the day I die.

This is

The only room we have.

I think you'll

Find it comfortable.

This will do

Splendidly.

We have to keep the curtains drawn

When there's a light in the room.

Lillian Hellman

Lillian Florence Hellman (June 20, 1905 – June 30, 1984) was an American dramatist and screenwriter known for her success as a playwright on Broadway, as well as her left-wing sympathies and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–52. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the American film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer questions by HUAC, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party. As a playwright, Hellman had many successes on Broadway, including Watch on the Rhine, The Autumn Garden, Toys in the Attic, Another Part of the Forest, The Children's Hour and The Little Foxes. She adapted her semi-autobiographical play The Little Foxes into a screenplay, which starred Bette Davis and received an Academy Award nomination in 1942. Hellman was romantically involved with fellow writer and political activist Dashiell Hammett, author of the classic detective novels The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, who also was blacklisted for 10 years until his death in 1961. The couple never married. Hellman's accuracy was challenged after she brought a libel suit against Mary McCarthy. In 1979, on The Dick Cavett Show, McCarthy said that "every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' and 'the'." During the libel suit, investigators found errors in Hellman's popular memoirs such as Pentimento. They said that the "Julia" section of Pentimento, which had been the basis for the Oscar-winning 1977 movie of the same name, was actually based on the life of Muriel Gardiner. Martha Gellhorn, one of the most prominent war correspondents of the twentieth century, as well as Ernest Hemingway's third wife, said that Hellman's remembrances of Hemingway and the Spanish Civil War were wrong. McCarthy, Gellhorn and others accused Hellman of lying about her membership in the Communist Party and being an unrepentant Stalinist. more…
