The Song of Songs Page #3

Synopsis: Country orphan Lily goes to Berlin to stay with her tippling aunt, and soon meets Richard, handsome sculptor across the street. Persuaded half-reluctantly to pose for Richard, her physical charms (shown as fully as 1933 mores permitted) soon melt away his 'strictly business' attitude, and they become lovers. But Richard, wanting his freedom, connives at her marriage to his wealthy client Baron von Merzbach... whose household includes a jealous former mistress and a susceptible farm manager. Has Richard still a role to play in her life?

You must believe that, Lily.

I mean- Well, I mean,

you must believe that.

- Yes, I think I believe that.

- Good. Well, now, come on.

You see that curtain?

Well, you can undress behind there.

Now, wait a minute.

Take this and put it around you.

There's a good girl.

Now, don't be long.

Oh, there you are.

That's right. Step up there.

You can drop the smock.

It's cold.

Cold?

I hadn't noticed it.

Well? Well?

Are you going to stand like that?

What about the voice of your beloved?

Why don't you listen to it?

It's pretty hard to listen

when you are as embarrassed as I am.

Oh, you'll get used to it.

And what's more, I'm freezing.

You'll get used to that too.

I don't understand

how I ever got into this.

Now, look here.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute and take it easy.

You don't have to do this,

you know, if you don't want to.

Hmm?

Well, all right.

You put your clothes on

and go home.

No. I said I'd do it,

and I will do it.

That's the way to talk! Good!

Lily!

Close the window!

Lily!

An earthquake

wouldn't wake her.

The brat!

Lily!

Lily!

Lily!

Lily!

Oh!

Oh!

All right.

That's enough for now.

I'll get it. I'll get it.

Next the clay,

and then the marble.

- The Song of Songs in marble.

- Was I all right?

You were fine at first.

You got a bit tired later.

Come in.

- Am I welcome?

- Yes, of course. Come in, Baron.

I saw your light so I thought

I'd drop in to see what you were up to.

- Well, I've been working.

- Good! It's about time.

There's the beginning

of your statue, Baron.

Mmm. Not bad.

- Do you see any idea to it?

- She's a little beauty.

Oh. That's all you see, eh?

It's enough for me.

- Oh, is she, uh, here?

- Yes. Yes, she's in there.

Oh. Not, uh-

Not overdone?

- As good as this, really?

- Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm!

Ah. A pretty face as well

as the hidden charms.

- I'd like to meet the young lady.

- Mmm. Oh, Lily.

This is Colonel von Merzbach.

Lily. How do you do, my dear?

How do you do?

So you are to be

our young friend's inspiration, huh?

Oh, these artists are privileged people.

- I think I'd better go.

- If I thought I'd frightened you away...

I'd never forgive myself.

You know, I'm not

altogether an intruder.

The statue our young friend

is to do of you...

will belong to me.

I've already paid him for it.

- But it's late. I must go.

- Oh, that's a pity.

But no doubt

we shall meet again.

Now that I've seen you, the statue

will interest me more than ever.

Goodbye.

Well, tomorrow night?

- But-

- The same time.

A lovely girl.

Lovely.

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Sneaking out of my house!

I'll show you!

Where did you find her?

Oh, I, uh-

I just found her.
