congratulations i hope you will be very happy oh how can i be today of all days terrible mm-hmm what's the matter with him oh he uh he was married this morning a pretty young singer from the belgian quite a catch what i mean like him i've got to spend his honeymoon here eh ah as a pity is a pity still when there are public calls we must all answer this is the first time for you i suppose yes yes i've waited for 27 years for the chance to be called as a juror uh have you have you served before yeah the bluebeard case oh yes yes i remember reading about that a man who killed his wife wasn't it one wife four oh that must have been quite a case yes or he didn't kill them hmm later i figured out that he was really innocent later after he was executed with all the jurors please come into the judge's chamber ah here we go here we go at last ah do you swear and promise before god and man to examine with the most careful attention the charges which are to be brought against natalie hogan that you will decide according to the charges and the evidence following your conscience and sincere personal conviction with impartiality and a firmness that befits a free and upright man i swear gentlemen of the jury the rest is in your hands however we shall do all in our power to assist you in arriving at the just decision good good and remember not to discuss the case with anyone thank you gentlemen i believe that is all mr president yes uh what what about me uh oh you two are the alternate jurors does that mean we might not be used probably oh however if one of the regular jurors should become incapacitated then one of you will serve so follow the trial as if you were a juror but mr president i would like to know might i ask regular jurors go in first mm-hmm regular jurors irregular jurors what do they call me for working 27 years to serve on a jury hmm your name is natalie rogan you're charged with the murder of gilbert mourinho on october 20th the defendant made the acquaintance of gilbert marina the victim will you please tell the jury where and how it was in it was in the street it was raining that night i had no place to go i was just walking along he approached me you're quite used to that sort of thing aren't you oh no continue please then they offered to take me home and you accepted readily how could i i had no home to go to i'll continue when i said that he took me to dinner private room no he wasn't like that to a cafe he was very nice to me he always was well now let's see he rented an apartment for you at uh 2000 franks uh-huh he bought your clothes and furs for 18 000 franks that's not true we can't deny that there must have been some feeling between you two man dislikes a woman he doesn't do all that what exactly happened on the day of the murder shall i repeat the question or is it that you don't want what's the method unfortunately the fifth juror is unable to continue who are the alternate jurors i am sir i am seth i'm ready have you watched the proceedings of the child carefully who didn't miss a thing did you follow all the testimony yes yes mr president uh two thousand frank's rent first and dresses eighteen thousand lorraine dinner in a public place everything very good very good i think we can proceed now ah good god that's what we're here for come on let's not waste any time on that night we prior it was the first time he was ever really cruel to me he struck me i thought it would be better for both of us if i left him so i went away to new zealand soon gilbert found out where i'd moved to he came to me and asked me to make up with him i refused and begged him to leave me alone to forget me the more i begged the angry he became then when he saw i meant to stay away he threatened to kill me when i saw the condition he was in what do you mean condition well he had been drinking very heavily you're lying she's not telling the truth i'm sorry i forgot myself mr president but my son never drank mr marinae when your time comes to testify you will be heard uh continue he threatened to kill me he had a revolver in his hand i knew he wasn't responsible anymore for what he might do so i tried to get revolver away we struggled it went off but when i saw him fall to the floor i fainted later they told me he was dead is that all you have nothing more to say yeah call the first witness raise your right hand yes we have to speak without hatred or not fear tell the whole truth nothing about the truth yes my name nicholas farkas hungarian taxi driver 43 years old no citizen mr farkas do you know natalie rogan yes i know for years she little girl her father died i take care of her kiss [Music] electronically [Music] what language was she speaking what language what uh what language well don't you know hungarian you may give your testimony to the jury gentlemen i haven't much to say many of you are fathers who know what it means to make plans for your children you can also also understand how it feels to have all those dreams suddenly destroyed by someone like that i didn't take it seriously at first after all she was only a girl he'd picked up in the street but when his demands for money grew to such huge proportions i realized that he was being duped a few days before his death he told me he could be free of her if he could pay her enough it isn't true he also told me he was afraid if he didn't get the money and pardon me did you say afraid i must question your choice of words sir now how could he have been afraid he was afraid that if he didn't pay her enough she would kill him oh surely a man of your wealth wouldn't mind a little expense to keep your son alive if you rarely thought he would be killed i didn't believe anybody really could ask so much i thought he could get rid of her for less money spoken like a good practical businessman and then what happened he stole from me she made a thief of him but that wasn't enough she had also to take his life ah now come come mr marinae hasn't it occurred to you that your son might have lied to you that he asked you for all that money not to buy us off but to cover gambling debts he went to her apartment that afternoon to give her the money i drove him there myself did you say afternoon yes you mean that night no i remember clearly it was that afternoon and i insist that we did not see your son until that night i'm particularly certain it was in the afternoon as i returned to finish my work at the office after i left gilbert the fifth juror wished to say something mr president uh i would like will you please raise your voice i can't hear you mr president um is it all right if i ask a question yes yes go on did mr mourinho see miss roger when he uh took his son there no he went up alone we arranged to meet later i never saw him alive again uh to what address did uh mr mourinho drive his son to 800 avenue already mata of course eight hundred avenue on remarta no you're mistaken i dropped him off at forty recessional peace forty losers who peace but gentlemen we never lived at forty new circle peace am i right mr president uh she says she never lived at forty rusan's opis uh could we find out who gilbert mourinho uh did go to see at that address that question is irrelevant and immaterial on the country it is extremely material in fact we are going to take steps to find out whom he visited on the afternoon of his death and i wish to thank the fifth juror for asking a most important question oh jury duty's going to your head i've never known you to take anything so seriously before jury duty is a very serious affair it's also very interesting now for instance when natalie wrote her autism she the murderers yeah no no she's not that murderous it's not been proven aha there go the lovers like a lot of canaries oh it's a strange generation [Music] please don't look at me out of sight what did he say i have not a chance to talk to him yet he got home too late ask him now just wait right there and i'll ask him ask me what oh uh well father we've decided to do it do it yes if you'd forget your murderers for a minute you might remember that they want to get married yes father oh oh that's it and robert was going to ask you about the dowry tonight oh i see i see robert hello mr marston francois says you want to ask me something well there's uh no rush i uh well good night mr marston i uh it's getting late uh there's plenty of time for that i guess that's right that's right there's plenty of time for that i think that ends the discussion for this evening you leave it to me i might leave it to you i'll never get married i want to live life life to its fullest don't you understand don't you worry francoise i'll see you don't end up an old maid you take your father's word for it you're going to be happy promise promise i have promised good night good night there you'll keep after him too often yes yes now go to bed go to bed ugh you have no idea how good i feel don't you ever get tired of that you know what's the matter with you pierre you have no romance oh now now now tilden is a little too late for that but it's true mother what does he see when he looks through his telescope a lot of stars when i look up i see love well father how do you feel tonight hmm anxious to get back in court tomorrow well it's hard to say the way i am in a way i am not it's very interesting oh but it's also very tiring i don't see why it should be so tiring don't you just sit there and listen well maybe that's what the other jurors do but not me i follow the trial closely do you know i asked a question today that may prove to be the solution of the whole case don't they mind you interfering oh the president tried to stop me but i said who do you think you're talking to i said i'm a jorda i'm here for the people oh i put the prosecutor in this place too you better be careful andre you'll end up in jail yourself nonsense nonsense they respect me why annoy them but they respect me how much longer do you think the trial is going to last father oh a few days or so oh well i think we better all go to sleep now good night here i don't read too late down all right good night don't worry so much about me goodnight father good night turn out the light my brain is dizzy with questions and answers what kind of a woman is that natalie rogan oh i'm not permitted to discuss the case with members of my family there can't be much to be mixed up with that sort of thing people shouldn't condemn what they don't know i heard about her in the marketplace today and they say she's not a nice girl marketplace the marketplace new court of justice tomorrow we'll move the judges down among the fruit and vegetables and settle the case there you swear to speak without hatred and without fear to tell the whole truth nothing but the truth raise your right hand repeat i swear i swerved your name please natalie rogan what did you say your name was you were pardon me sir but it is natalie rogan same as ours mr president the same name as ours what is your address i live at 40 rue saints for peace now tell us all about the strange visit that you had on the afternoon of october the 6th i was at home reading and listening to the radio when someone knocked on my door so loudly i was almost frightened to death i opened the door and a young man i had never seen before pushed me out of the way when i tried to stop him he asked for natalie rogan it's very likely he got the information from some private detective agency and was deceived by the similarity of names i told him that he was quite right but what did he want from me he said i want natalie rogan i said i am natalie rogan he said you're lying i said i am not so he pushed me out of the way rushed into my apartment he began looking for the other girl in every room five of them when he couldn't find her he said if i didn't tell him where i was hiding her he'd kill me gilbert mariniere threatens to murder to murder this woman but not the accused the juror wishes to ask a question yes mr president is it important well uh not exactly and will you be good enough to sit down mm-hmm i tried to convince him that i was a different natalie rogan that i had never met his lady and i wasn't hiding her but he was still very excited and said that he'd find her if it was the last thing he'd do that's what he said thank you thank you my dear lady that will be all just a moment please when gilbert mareniere came to visit you that afternoon was he drunk oh no sir he was perfectly sober i thank you my dear lady thank you very much guilty not guilty i can make up my mind guilty 90 guilty 10 doubt well gentlemen still the same no verdict of course it's the same same fool still thinking the same way what else you expect can you call me a fool oh nothing special about you you're all fools be careful the way you talk i will not be insulted by you oh you won't be huh to you why it's an insult eating to be here with you what makes you think you're so good you're as big a fool as anybody else here including you including you yes he did it look right at me five minutes you're on the show wait a minute just who did you look at citizens of france i'm ashamed of it i don't like that she's mixed up with that hungarian bunch well even the prosecutor said she didn't have an honest face and what about you have you gotten on his face why do you know i wouldn't trust you with him with the eiffel tower why are we wasting so much time it's perfectly clear that all the evidence points to her guilt let's get through with this so we can go home oh of course of course you would say that well just because you're worried about what your wife is doing tonight there's no reason to force us into convicting an innocent girl now just a moment mr morrison you might know something about your bicycles and whatever else you have to say also photographs records and sheet music sir but that doesn't qualify you to tell us what our verdict should be now take for instance the bluebeard case on which i serve now that was definitely miscarriage of justice and if we aren't careful the same thing is going to happen here again the man had killed his four wives this is not the bluebeard case there isn't a single dead wife oh you don't understand i don't understand oh i don't know what case you're understand and you you you do you know what case you're on oh what's that huh it's my bride oh delicate little thing thank you metadata yesterday didn't you at 8 o'clock oh it's a pity it's a pity and we may be here all night young bride too well i can't blame you if you're worrying about what she's doing she comes from a theatrical family and you know what that means what did you say the reference was made to natalie roger oh a french father and a hungarian mother then there's something about the job she's had that might prove something waitress cashier manicurist model i wonder why wasn't she ever a nurse or a school teacher why weren't you ever a ballet dancer there's no logic in that remark i followed this case thoroughly and i've all the facts look here rent 2 000 thanks close 18 000 francs october 20th october 6th you have all the figures haven't you my little accountant well are we to convict an innocent girl just because you have a mathematical mind please don't shout in my ear i'm sensitive i'm for right to my opinion oh certainly certainly certainly if you had one but unfortunately my little friend your mind is in a state of confusion you don't see clearly you don't hear clearly why you don't even know what's happening around you you're exaggerating what's the use what's the use i give her there's still a doubt in my mind but i'll give her the benefit of the doubt i still think she's guilty well if that's your opinion very well my analytical friend we will sit here we will all stay and help you to disgrace the fair name of justice but i warn you gentlemen i will not move from here until i see that girl are quitting not even if we all get pneumonia guilty not guilty not guilty guilty not guilty guilty not guilty well are we all ready to listen to reason or aren't we mr eurek what's your opinion i don't know oh you still don't know ah everything is too easy for you mr morriston now why don't you explain why gilbert marini tried to kill her cousin killer cousin what cousin the one living at 40 resources oh you poor little thing you haven't understood anything that's happened that wasn't her cousin now now let me explain no no come come come here now once upon a time a boy and girl met in the rain they became friends or doctors if they might live happily together forever after but then that poor girl an orphan all alone in the world found that her only friend had become her enemy we find the accused not guilty accused [Music] [Applause] acquitted you know something i think we made a mistake oh just a minute please i uh i was looking for you sir ah yes yes i wanted to thank you for all you've done without you the case might have ended very differently oh committed my duty nonsense nonsense you are very helpful but i uh i would like to know uh what she is going to do who miss rogan oh miss well if i were to concern myself with the future of all my clients i don't know the usual thing like all the others vaudeville nightclub ah i see yes well i was thinking the poor girl will probably need a bit of help now would you tell her for me that i'd be very glad to help her in uh in some way or another you know uh here's my business card uh-huh so that's how it is eh oh no oh my apologies mr morristown i'll be very glad to give it to her thank you how are you doing oh hello this is my fiance lucille

the better too don't do anything to hurt her oh oh i thought i heard you talking to someone i was to myself i was reading loud don't you like to do that sometimes um read aloud oh yes i sometimes i do this your book yes yeah this is the first time i've ever read a book of astronomy it's very interesting i uh i can see that you think so too this is your room isn't it yes i hope you don't hate me for putting you out of it no oh no that's all right your sister tells me you're going back to the university this winter yes in january then you'll learn everything about the stars and planets and all the other things up there oh well hardly everything but isn't it a very difficult science no no it's quite simple yes once you get the fundamentals the rest comes very easy well for instance what are those oh these are models of the planets reduced to 250 million their actual size is saturn here this is jupiter there's mars [Applause] here really like to know more about it do you mind if i read your books i promise to be very careful with them of course you may well i have a small telescope up on the roof there some night we might you might go up and look through it thank you you haven't

anything you say miss [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] oh foreign hello hello my friend hello mr madison well i'm so delighted to see you again i was wondering if you'd ever come i didn't have much opportunity i i was working fortunately but now unfortunately i i'm again mr morriston you remember the last time i was here i uh i wanted to talk to you but you were in such a hurry that night this uh this seems a pretty old bicycle yeah do you think you want a new one no i can't i mean i i'm at liberty right now again and uh i might like to have this one fixed but mr morrison i want to talk to you but uh we better go inside uh you're right you you robert uh you're right you don't know what you're missing why these little models would have warmed the heart of of any side a perfect workmanship in every part yes although i say it myself they're um they're more than mere vehicles why they're scientists and yes mr morriston i've been thinking uh mr motherson i think we've made a mistake yes i've been re-examining the case and certain texts which represented at the trial lead me to believe that we gave the wrong verdict oh we didn't take into account the time spent between gilbert's first visit and his second visit now if you know anything at all about scientific oh uh uh i don't believe you know my wife hey yes and no i think i've had the pleasure now i want to miss you a fellow juror pleased to meet you yes is that the same problem which you freed that rogue anger that's exactly what i was talking about now mr morrison mr loret is a bookkeeper oh at liberty your husband and i have to acquit her but we've made a terrible mistake mr morriston i've got oh did you know michelle mr liverette served on the bluebeard case oh very important trial why don't you tell my wife about it but this is not the bluebeard case i've spent a lot of time figuring out this case but now i know this girl is guilty you know you know you don't know anything i figured it out for myself she definitely forced the boy to steal from his father you figured him out and you talked too much he made him steal 30 000 francs from his father the case is settled it's all over and done with maybe it is for you andre but with a dangerous woman like that free in the street there are the other cases now let me understand you well mr luret are you trying to say that i talked you into a critical guilty person yes and you talked yourself into it too oh you mean that i'm a fool eh yes no i didn't say that no but you mean it in other words you come into my shop with a bicycle which is an insult to the industry and you'll pretend you want it repaired and then you have the nerve to stand there and make a fool out of me in front of my wife what's come over you mr luret i must ask you never to come in here again and furthermore if you should ever find yourself in this neighborhood again i would advise you to keep on the other side of the street the other side of the street [Music] well well well a mystery girl mystery girl yes to me what goes on behind those deep dark eyes of yours i'd like to find out one of these days or uh nights what's the matter what would francoise say about this curiosity oh we can worry about that some other time you can always say that i'm teaching you how to dance i know how to dance and because you're a friend of the family i can teach you free of charge oh there you are uh jean's gonna take dancing instructions from me thank you you needn't bother about me well is there anything wrong in that no i want to talk to you let's go in the store hello mother hello dolly i wish father i don't know giving away free bicycles or throwing out customers i don't know what's come over your father he might be in the storeroom oh you've no idea what the lucky escape we've just had you see who that was that came in the store yes i know that man's a plague does he know that i'm here no but if that pest continues to come around with his big mouth anything might happen i've told my wife so many lies i don't think i could ever tell the truth now i'll go away mr morrison oh no no no no no my child oh no don't you cry you let me manage things everything's going to straighten itself out i better be getting back why don't you worry have you seen pierre nope he's looking for you he'll find me have you seen jean oh what easily am i supposed to see everyone today don't get so excited i have a perfect right to ask you where my help is anyway she seems a very strange sort this daughter of a friend of yours a little while ago she spent 15 minutes talking to a taxi driver well one of it might have been a customer they talked to each other in hungarian hungarian what do you say to that well uh uh do you know hungary no then how do you know they were talking in hungarian i'll tell you what it was it was a dialect they speak in the south of france a dialect yes well i told you jean's father came to this other france didn't i well down there they speak a dialect uh this driver probably came to the same place and coming from the south of france naturally he spoke in the the dialect they speak in the south of france didn't he well it's possible do you know who he is he's an international spy disguised as a taxicab he came here to steal the secrets of our bicycles for some power he's a frenchman from the south and he spoke a dialect that was it michelle i suppose you don't believe me no i didn't think you would wife ladies and gentlemen is the best cook in france the herd of stew is not just a stew it's a work of art thank you thank you are you feeling better now john that's good if francois takes after mother then i'm in for some good cooking too but raw bear you're not marrying me for my cooking oh why not what's wrong with it good cooking comes in handy after the wedding some people marry for the cooking and some marry for the diary and some for other reasons we're marrying for love aren't we robert what do you think of love what do you know about it you actually been married 25 years and then you can feel pretty certain that you're in love i didn't know you were a philosopher andre now before you begin to laugh at me mrs morristown let me tell you that i know what i'm talking about i'm an authority on love always thought i ought to write a book about it but don't forget to include a chapter on people who kill for love what's that what's that listen everybody the youth of france wishes to be held almost every day we read in the paper about some woman who kills a man because of jealousy or passion or whatever the cause may be isn't that true pass this hold for you i don't know father you so don't touch a case once yourself your father doesn't like to be reminded of that it seems they returned the wrong verdict ha ha ha one of his fellow jurors was here and spoke about it this afternoon ah that little red who's he to say anything and why are you always so ready to believe any fool who comes in here ha ha it's good still isn't it oh i need it i'll beat it up but he isn't the only one who thinks that many people said she should have been convicted that's what's wrong with everybody people talking people here but do they ever think a girl is accused of murder and then even after acquittal she's condemned by everybody what did i say this made you so excited i'm not excited after all she was a bad woman this stew is burned no you always put in too much salt john where are you going i don't feel i mean i've had enough please excuse me something's been bothering that girl all day each time i've looked at her she's had tears in her eyes i've had enough to say what's happening here wha what's going on sean pierre will somebody tell me what's happening here now now it's all very clear to me oh then perhaps you'll be good enough to explain it to me can't you see the pierre genre in love with each other why do it i knew it if they can get together soon enough we can have a double wedding yeah obnoxiousness is impossible i don't want any talk of that or of anybody getting married why not yes why not hearthstone never enough salt in it and furthermore in future i don't want any discussions of murder ties at the dinner table i'm going to and i haven't had enough [Music] aren't you cold not very [Music] i know why you ran out of the dining room just then yes natalie rogan oh you know this may sound very strange to you but i want you to leave this house just as soon as you can but before you go i'll leave tonight yes that might be better [Music] i can't blame you after all i was tried for murder no that's not it i know you were acquitted i always believed you were innocent then why because my father brought you here and because i saw you in the storeroom together this afternoon because i want to spare my mother any disgrace you should be ashamed to even dare to suspect your father the kindest person i've ever known he brought me here to help me and only for that reason i was desperate he knew he was taking a risk and yet he did it he knew what most people would think what many of them would say and still he wanted to do it i expected something like this for the others but not for you what else was i to think you're so filled with scientific facts you don't know anything except what's in your books [Music] and yet still there wasn't anything else you could think [Music] i'll go pier but please believe in your father i i do but no wait a minute please natalie don't go yet i have you ever seen the moon through the telescope i mean it's a very good night for tonight here i'll show you there are many mountain ranges many craters on the moon of a type of course quite different than those found down here here come and sit down here when we see them with the naked eye we call it the man and then they'll come and sit down we call it the man in the moon the moon is 2 160 miles in diameter it's nearer test than anything else in the sky how did you know that i've been reading your books tell me pierre how did you know i was at the trailer but you never told anyone [Music] no that was very kind oh wait don't go yet natalie please it i well before you go wouldn't you like to see venus yes [Music] we can never mistake venus because of its surpassing brilliance when the ancient greeks saw the planet in the western sky they named it callisto meaning the most beautiful the name which fits it very well [Music] [Applause] [Music] please [Music] is [Music] is in excelsior [Music] [Music] me quick hide your face there's that idiot again you're right what's he doing in church that faker must have come to count the candles [Music] find out what you're foolish father mother wants to know

i'll take care [Music] natalie why did you run out oh there was someone there one of the jurors i was afraid he might see me wouldn't let him see you if he sees me he'll talk well let him talk now look natalie you've got to stop being so afraid of people all the time you're going to be my wife this is pierre morrister that sounds wonderful doesn't it okay or would you rather it be um mrs natalie morristown [Music] i can't marry you why not it's impossible what would your mother say when she finds out there's only one thing that's important that is do you love me oh come on tell me do
