. Would you like something to drink?

. Yes, please.

Excuse me, my Lord Count,

Dinner is served.

Thank you, Silvestro,

You can go, thank you.

Excuse me dear, no offence intended,

but the knife in the mouth

is just too much, it's not done.

First, back straight,

no elbows on the table, ever,

Hold yoursilverware like this.

See?

It's very simple.

Try it.

What's this got to do with cinema?

You'll have to enchant the smart set.

They mustn't think

they're watching a peasant girl.

People will identify with you,

Becoming a star

carries great responsibility.

Want to turn me into a grande dame?

I don't wantanyone

to make you feel awkward.

. Thank you for lending it to me.

. Keep it.

She was German,

she brought the cold with her.

I'll give it to you,

I'll send the costume designer

to pick you up tomorrow,

I want him to study you,

so he'll know what's good on you,

And your hair, I don't know...,

These bangs... you have a nice

forehead, you should show it.

Maybe you'd look best

with your hair undone,

I can't believe

this is happening to me,

Don't think about it, sweet dreams.

What iftomorrow I discover

it's not true?

It's all true.

Come upstairs, don't leave me alone,

Tomorrow morning I want you to repeat

everything, word for word.

Offto bed now.

Too fast?

It's not the smart set way, .,

Darling, go to bed now,

it's best,

The key's not there,

I gave it to him,

Who's "him"?

Your fiance, he's waiting upstairs,

Good foryou, a big fish this time...

. What are you doing here?

. You were out late.

. Who invited you?

. You.

Anyway,

you don'tenter a girl's room

if she's not there,

You're right.

I brought this so you'd forgive me,

Itdoesn't look very attractive,

but that's not my fault.

Your porter couldn'tfind me

a glacette.

What do we drink to?

I'm not drinking,

Alright,

You've already had a drink

with the guy who brought you home?

Who is he?

That's my business,

You're right.

We do it and then you leave.

Then I'll leave,

Hurry up, we had a deal,

Sure, we had a deal,

Are you crazy?

The portertold me

you're two months in arrears,

How dare he!

Consider ita loan,

pay me back when you're famous,

We won't be seeing each other again,

Why not?

I'm not one of your girls,

your beautiful whores.

Are you the girl

of the guy who brought you home?

No.

Go to sleep, I'll take care of this.

I still have half an hour,

who'll face Vero?

I'll do your half an hour.

Go on.

Wouldn't it have been better

if you'd gone upstairs that night?

Forgive me!

. Is my car ready?

. I'll call foryour "handsome" car.

I love "handsome", not "beautiful",

like D'A nnunzio says!

"Handsome" car!

- Any mail?

- Yes, sir.

Thank you.

. What's going on in there?

. There's a private party,

A party to honor the new actress,

Madame Luisa Ferida.

Madame Luisa Ferida?

There's no invitation

for Mr Osvaldo Valenti?

I'm afraid not.

Amilcare, King of the Audiles,

look again.

Of course, sorry,

it must have come this afternoon.

Stand in for me,

I'll accompany MrValenti.

Good evening, Maestro.

Do you know the song

"Isn't It Romantic"?

- But it's American!

- Who cares, it's lovely!

- Alright,

- Thank you,

Good evening,, .

May I have the honorofthis dance?

Certainly.

You've become very sophisticated,

Mademoiselle Manfrini.

I no longer have an Audile name,

I'm Ferida now.

I know, it's in all the papers!

Grand idea, magnificent sound,

There's the idea of the feral,

of blood, of a soul in ferment,

of a ferocious animal., .

It was Golfiero's idea,

he says it suits me better,

Good for the Count!

It certainly suits you.

Like all fags, he knows women well.

Loosen your hold, please.

You're beautiful,

much more than I remembered.

You're very kind.

Too bad you put on all these airs,

you don't need to,

Look who's talking.

You're teaching me humility?

No, I'd just like to see

the girl I once knew,

She's gone,

no more fresh flesh

at a pimp's disposal,

Still biting, eh?

I have a room in this hotel,

Esenin's at the Hotel Astoria

et d'A ngleterre in St. Petersburg.

We've danced enough,

I'll say goodbye.

Tell me, lovely Luisa,

who are you with in the wee hours?

Who, ofthese, do you sleep with?

With all of them, Stop this.

Not with the director,

everyone knows women disgust him.

Could you be

producer De Cupis's girlfriend?

You know, in intimate moments,

he dresses as a candy striper?

Maybe you do it with Falieri,

the young actor.

I know who the lucky one is!

Attilio Cardi, the Director General

of Motion Pictures!

II Duce's right. Hand man, the great

craftsman of Italian cinema!

Absalom!

. Where do you think you're going?

. My shift is over,

But the King of the Audiles

has no shifts,

. But he has a house,

. With no one waiting for him!

Speaking of which, Alcibiades,

might you have a couple of

fleshy lovelies to send to my room?

There's already a woman waiting.

What?

Don't turn the lighton,

We have unfinished business,

Here, this is yours.

What is it?

We're even, now I can leave.

Get up you two, we have to leave.

Wake up, we have to getout of here.

Do as he says!

Come on! Go!

Where are you taking us?

We have to change hideout,

Milan's no longer safe for you.

The Germans

are negotiating a surrender!

. Soon it'll be over,

. It's not the Germans or Fascists.

. The problem is our own people.

. What do you mean?

That to save yourskin,

we have to risk our own.

We have the order to shoot you,

but your friend insists on a trial.

Maybe he's hoping you'll make it.

Uncle!

. You prepared the place?

. Yes.

Don't tell anyone about these two,

Noteven if other partisans ask you,

. Why, who are they?

. Don'task questions,

The less you know, the better,

Is it true

you've already condemned us?

Do as they say,

I'll do all I can to help you,

What can you do? Vero scares me,

he has a madman's eyes.

He knows you didn't do anything,

- Osvaldo didn't either!

- Not now!
