Indiscreet

Would you put the bags

here, please?

Give me a hand

with this, will you?

Will there be

anything else?

No, thank you,

William.

Right you are. And

welcome back, Miss Kalman.

Thank you.

I'm glad to be back.

Will you be all right?

You know it's Doris

and Carls day off.

Yes, certainly.

I'll be all right.

Very good, miss.

Hello, Doris. Hello,

Carl. Nice entrance.

I thought

it was your day off.

We thought

you were a burglar.

Lucky for you

that Im not.

We heard a noise.

We didn't get a cable

you were coming back today.

That's why

we didn't meet you.

I didn't decide to come

until this morning.

Something the matter?

No.

Have a nice trip?

Mm-Hmm. All right.

Oh, that's

no meal for you.

I'll get you

something hot.

No, that's all I want.

Go on about your business.

We don't have

any business.

We were only going

to have tea

And then go

to the movies.

Well, then go.

I've got

some nice lamb chops

And some

little French peas.

Go to the movies.

No, no, Doris, tomorrow.

How would you like me to

give you a nice massage?

Tomorrow.

I'll get you

some hot milk.

No, no, no.

N- O, no. G-O, go.

I'm staying here.

Ring if you want

something.

Oh! I didn't expect

to see anybody.

I'm not back from the grave, you know?

Good evening,

Mrs. Munson.

What are you doing here?

Good evening, Doris.

Why aren't you

in Majorca?

Because Im here.

How's Alfred?

Alfred is fine.

I can see you're here,

But you should be

in Majorca.

Mr. Munson and I

are changing here.

Just put out our evening

clothes, will you, Doris?

Yes, madam.

And then go.

Very well.

Aren't you and Doris

getting on?

We get on fine.

Now, what's wrong with you?

You planned to be away

for the whole winter,

And here you are,

back again after 10 days.

I didn't find it

interesting.

Is it possible that the

trouble isn't with Majorca?

Possible.

What happened

to the colonel

That you wrote to me

about in your letter?

The one who looked

like a Greek statue.

He talked like

a Greek statue.

I don't think he knew

more than a dozen words.

Scotch and soda

and one or two more.

You were impressed with

him when you first met him.

I hadn't heard

the dozen words.

I don't know what you expect from a man.

You know there's a limit to

how entertaining they can be.

Well, they should be able to

talk a little, simple sentences.

You told me that

he was good-Looking

And that he danced

beautifully.

That's all a woman's

entitled to.

You can always

read a good book.

Dear little sister,

Go wash your mind

with soap.

I'm not your little

sister. I'm the older.

This is a side of you

Ive never seen before.

Sort of maternal

white slaver.

I'm not sympathetic.

You've plenty of beaus.

You're beautiful,

talented, and famous.

You're an actress

Who's the envy of

everyone who knows you.

But then they don't know me.

What about

David Wilson?

Why don't you

marry him?

I don't love him.

Why not?

I don't know why not.

I tried to love him.

I just don't.

Someone will turn up.

When?

Do a play.

You know you're much

happier when you're working.

I don't feel like it.

Come along with us.

Come on. You'll feel

much better in a girdle.

Where are you going?

To a banquet.

Oh.

Sometimes the speaker

is very interesting.

I remember

the last one.

The Dutch ambassador spoke

for an hour and 15 minutes...

in Dutch.

Well, we'll go on

somewhere afterwards.

Oh, why, lord?

Anna!

Well,

what a surprise.

Hello, Alfred.

Mmm. Delicious cold

cream. You get that brand.

You're looking

bloomy.

So are you. How is

the foreign office?

Muddling through.

Well, dear, how's everything at home?

Fine.

Come along. I'll help you get dressed.

You're feeling sorry

for yourself.

I am not.

I feel sorry for you.

She's coming

with us.

Oh, she's not.

Well, you're

more than welcome.

The Dutch ambassador,

I think of him often.

I told you, he's not going

to be there this time. Is he?

Oh, no, no. That was

an official state dinner.

This one's going to

be quite interesting.

Ah. You see?

Who is it for?

Well, it's for

the hard-Currency countries.

There will be a number

of speakers who will, uh..

Well, speak.

On hard currency?

Yes.

The Dutch ambassador's

growing on me.

It's not that bad

as it sounds.

I go no place where

they don't speak Dutch.

Alfred, it might be better

if I stayed behind with Anna.

She's acting so gay

I know she's depressed.

She's not.

The door was open.

Hello, Philip.

Darling, I want you to

meet Mr. Philip Adams.

This is my wife.

How do you do?

And my sister-In-Law

Miss Anna Kalman.

How do you do?

Miss Kalman

is no stranger to me.

I've seen you often

on the stage.

I'm a fervent admirer.

Why, thank you, kind sir.

I once stayed over

an extra day in Liverpool

because you were billed

to appear,

and then the performance

was canceled.

I'm sorry.

It turned out to be a fortunate

delay. I made some money out of it.

I'm glad.

I would've gladly traded the

money for the performance.

Would you care to see

the performance now?

I'll play all the parts.

How much money was it?

I asked Philip to come up

here and change his clothes.

He's in from Paris...

just for the dinner.

I had no idea

you'd be back.

Oh, that's perfectly

all right.

I could go to a hotel.

Oh. You're

more than welcome.

Well, it's rather

an imposition.

Well, I owe you something

for Liverpool.

And where is Mrs. Adams

going to dress?

There is no Mrs. Adams.

Oh. Well...

now, do we have to go

to this silly old dinner?

The speaker will bore us,

and they won't miss us.

They'd miss him.

He's the speaker.

This happens to me all the time.

I once asked a butler

at the French embassy

If he cared

to waltz.

He waltzed

divinely.

You're right about the speech

being dull. I've heard it.

Well, we can go on to some

other place afterwards.

It's the only hope

for the evening.

What do you say, Anna?

Oh, I couldn't go.

Why not?

Well, for one thing,

Im not dressed.

Well, neither are they. We'll race them.

I couldn't possibly

be on time.

It doesn't matter

if we are late.

We've got the man

with the speech.

They can't start

without him.

Oh, she needs coaxing.

You coax her.

I'm an extra man. You'd make

the dinner come out even.

How many people are

going to be there?

Yes.

does look untidy.

You see? That's all I wanted

- An intelligent reason.

You change in there.

Last one dressed

is last.

Can I help you?

Whitehall 0-0-1-1.

Who in heaven's name

is that?

Stop breathing

so hard.

Oh, I didn't know

it showed.

Who is he? What is he? And speak slowly.

He's a very bright

gentleman

We are hoping will accept a job in NATO,

And we're not

having much luck.

Hello, Harris?

This is Mr. Munson.

One more

for our table.

Yes, a place card

for Miss Anna Kalman.

Uh, next to

Mr. Philip Adams.

Fine.

Well, what about

this Mr. Adams?

What do you want

to know?

Everything.

And I mean everything.

Well, I don't think he's
