01:41will there be anything else Marie?
01:43thank you no.
01:45ah yes yes the cigarette box for Princess Tereskoy.
01:48you shouldn't encourage me.
02:02so you mean to tell me you've heard nothing for two whole months?
02:05not a word.
02:07nor have I had any letters from the lawyer that I was threatened with.
02:10extraordinary.
02:11do you think he's changed his mind?
02:13it would be most unlikely.
02:15his sister has written to me twice to tell me that Serioza is well.
02:18Serioza himself is permitted to write once a week.
02:21his letters are dictated I'm sure very carefully.
02:25Anna how can you bear it?
02:27because I must.
02:29and really Betsy thinking it all over calmly I...
02:32calmly?
02:33oh yes these days I'm very calm.
02:36I've come to realize that my husband has every right on his side.
02:40you can't mean that.
02:42but I do.
02:43it was only when I was with him in the same room that I used to be confused.
02:47his presence his physical presence had become so nauseating to me that I could feel nothing but loathing.
02:55that I understand.
02:56he's a coward too.
02:58yes but he can't help it.
03:00are you saying you feel pity for him?
03:03yes.
03:04in a strange way.
03:06I have treated him badly.
03:08would you live with him again?
03:10if he did change his mind?
03:12never.
03:14then my dear girl you have reached an impasse.
03:20shall I tell you what I hear?
03:22he's in Moscow.
03:24staying at the Hotel Dusso.
03:26licking his wounds.
03:28what wounds?
03:29well you remember the famous commissioner of course.
03:31about the native tribes.
03:33well yes I suppose so.
03:34your husband won a brilliant victory in August.
03:36the commissioner was appointed and made its report a week ago.
03:39all its findings agreed with his contentions.
03:41well then.
03:42wait.
03:43count Stremov.
03:44oh you remember Stremov.
03:45wasn't he the man who opposed Alexei when...
03:48exactly.
03:49a clever man.
03:50clever man.
03:51well.
03:52suddenly he came right over onto your husband's side.
03:54then he went further.
03:56he proposed and pushed through some changes so radical...
03:59that the whole commission was discredited.
04:01but then he quietly retired and your husband got all the blame.
04:04comical isn't it?
04:06do you think so?
04:07well I think it's hilarious like all politics.
04:09mind you Anna it's not all over.
04:11I'm told your husband still has an ace all to up his seat.
04:14ah!
04:15Anna oh!
04:18I'm quite all right.
04:19you're not.
04:20yes.
04:21you've never had children Betsy.
04:23let me tell you this is the moment you wait for all those weary months.
04:28but what can I do?
04:30oh!
04:31leave me here.
04:33yes yes I mean it.
04:35and find Anushka my maid.
04:37ask her to send for the doctor.
04:39oh!
04:40Anna are you sure?
04:41Betsy!
04:42please!
04:44Anna are you sure?
04:46Betsy!
04:47please!
04:48please!
04:51your excellency.
05:05yes?
05:07if you would care to sit in the drawing room
05:09Alexei, Alexei.
05:19Alexei.
05:24Alexei.
05:30Alexei.
05:32Alexei.
05:37Annuska.
05:39What is it madam?
05:40Oh poor Annuska.
05:42Nothing you can do.
05:44No one ever taught you to write.
05:52Doctor...
05:55Is the pain bad?
05:57Oh no no no not now.
05:59Well then.
06:01I want...
06:03I want someone to send a telegram.
06:06Please.
06:07I'll arrange it.
06:09A telegram to my husband.
06:12Alexei.
06:14Alexei.
06:15Alexei.
06:16Karenin.
06:18Hotel Dussault.
06:20Moscow.
06:23I'm dying.
06:24That's not true.
06:25Please.
06:26Write what I say.
06:31I...
06:32I think...
06:33You...
06:34You are a friend of...
06:35Sludin.
06:36My husband's private secretary.
06:38We are acquainted.
06:39Well then.
06:40Nothing I say will surprise you.
06:48Write.
06:49Please.
06:50Very well.
06:51I beg you.
06:53To come.
06:54At once.
06:56I shall die.
06:58More easily.
07:01With your forgiveness.
07:04Sign it.
07:06Anna.
07:08Anna.
07:09I hardly recognise you.
07:10You've let your whiskers grow.
07:11Haven't you?
07:12Karenin.
07:13Number seven.
07:14Is it along here?
07:15Yes.
07:16Thanks.
07:17Levin.
07:18Steera.
07:19Hey.
07:20Now that makes it all perfect.
07:21Well just leave it in there.
07:22So you're back.
07:23Been abroad haven't you?
07:24Where?
07:25Germany.
07:26France.
07:27England.
07:28How was Paris?
07:29Well I didn't go to Paris.
07:30I've been studying agricultural methods.
07:31I learned a great deal.
07:32Oh yes.
07:33Well I delighted to see you looking so well.
07:35And in such good spirits.
07:37You know somebody told me that you were down in the mouth and kept talking nothing but death.
07:54Well what of it?
07:55I think continually of death.
07:57Oh do you now?
07:58I'll tell you frankly Steera.
08:00I value my work and my ideas but they're only a vanity.
08:04This whole world is nothing but a grain of mildew.
08:07Oh?
08:08And our lives a moment of eternity.
08:11So we might as well pass our lives amusing ourselves as best we can.
08:15Well my own idea entirely.
08:17Because we shall soon be dead.
08:18Why soon?
08:20You know you weren't so funny.
08:22Funny?
08:23You'd be in danger of becoming a ball.
08:25Steera.
08:26No no no I was only joking.
08:27Now look my dear fellow.
08:29If you could bear to enjoy yourself for an hour or two.
08:32Will you come to dinner?
08:33Your brother Koznichev might be there.
08:35And Karenin I hope.
08:37And a few others.
08:38Rekha?
08:39Yes.
08:40Yes I'd like to.
08:41God.
08:42Come when you're ready and don't be late.
08:43Come when you go to St. Petersburg tomorrow.
08:50Don't forget to go and see the Countess.
08:52Did you?
08:53Ivanov?
08:54No.
08:55Give her my note.
08:56I shan't forget sir.
08:57When the deputation for the native tribes arrives she must arrange to look after them.
09:10Pilot them was your expression I think.
09:11Exactly.
09:12They're very naive.
09:13They imagine all they have to do is to explain their needs and ask help from the government.
09:17They do seem a little childish.
09:18What do you expect?
09:19They must adhere strictly to the program I've laid down.
09:20If they don't they'll play directly into the hands of my opponents.
09:21Stremorf particularly.
09:22Yes.
09:23That'll ruin the whole business.
09:24Now if you...
09:25Oh see who that is will you.
09:26I gave orders I was not to be disturbed.
09:27I'm sorry.
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29Dear young man.
09:30Don't be nice.
09:31But sir.
09:32I know he's in.
09:33They tell us.
09:34They tell us.
09:35What do you expect?
09:36What do you expect?
09:37They must adhere strictly to the program I've laid down.
09:38If they don't they'll play directly into the hands of my opponents.
09:39Stremorf particularly.
09:40Yes.
09:41That'll ruin the whole business.
09:42Now if you...
09:43Oh see who that is will you.
09:44I gave orders I was not to be disturbed.
09:47I gave orders I was not to be disturbed.
09:52But sir.
09:53I know he's in.
09:54They told me downstairs.
09:55Anyway he's expecting me.
09:57Come in please.
09:59Tut tut.
10:00You've come to a bad end.
10:02Oh I see you're not dressed for dinner.
10:04Never mind shall we go.
10:05I'm sorry I can't come.
10:06Why?
10:07We're expecting you.
10:08I cannot visit your house.
10:09Why on earth not?
10:11Because all relationships between us must end.
10:13Finish from now on.
10:15But why?
10:17Because I'm starting divorce proceedings.
10:20I'm going to divorce your sister.
10:23That's not possible.
10:25No I'm afraid it is.
10:27I thought about it for two months and finally I...
10:30Well this letter contains firm instructions to my lawyer.
10:35I don't believe it.
10:37In it are enclosed written proofs of her guilt.
10:41Letters from her lover.
10:44Oh good God.
10:52Well if that's the case.
10:54My dear fellow you sure there's been no misunderstanding?
10:56I only wish there were.
10:58Look Karenin.
11:00You're a man of principle at first rate.
11:04And Anna well...
11:06Forgive me but Anna...
11:09I beg you do nothing in haste.
11:11I'm not acting in haste.
11:13Far from it.
11:15But my mind is made up.
11:16Well...
11:18Do one thing.
11:19See my wife.
11:20See Dolly.
11:21She loves Anna like a sister.
11:22She's a wonderful woman.
11:23For God's sake talk it over with Dolly.
11:26Well I really don't know.
11:28That's why I didn't call at your house.
11:30I suppose our relationship should be changed.
11:33I don't see that.
11:34We're friends aren't we?
11:35Even if...
11:37Well I wouldn't presume to take sides.
11:38Who am I to judge?
11:41But come and see Dolly.
11:44Will you?
11:46If you wish it so much.
11:48Yes.
11:49I shall come.
12:01Oh hello Madvay.
12:02I'm late as usual.
12:03As usual.
12:04As usual sir.
12:05Is everyone here?
12:06Of course sir.
12:07Let me take your coat sir.
12:09If I may say so sir I'm very relieved to see you.
12:12Relieved?
12:13Well sir when gentlemen go traveling abroad mixing with foreigners.
12:16You mean anything might happen?
12:18Exactly sir.
12:19Well put your mind at rest.
12:21Nothing did.
12:22Quite true Petsov yes.
12:24The Poles are not Russians but now they are part of our nation.
12:27They should be Russified so to speak for their own benefit.
12:30They're not quite well.
12:31Oh they're quite well indeed Mama yes.
12:33But little Grisha had a cough did you not tell me?
12:35Completely cured Mama thank God.
12:37So he caught the days running sharp at 12.
12:40All pink and solemn.
12:41My husband was most intrigued.
12:43What about you?
12:44It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud.
12:47Now come along everybody.
12:52If we wait any longer we'll all die of thirst.
13:02So he's arrived?
13:03Yes.
13:04Ah good.
13:05Alicia my dear.
13:06Allow me to be your escort.
13:08You see how it is?
13:09Even at my age I capture all the pretty ones.
13:11If there's one thing that bowls me over it's flattery.
13:14I don't care who flatters me.
13:16I love it.
13:21Konstantin Dmitrievich.
13:23There it is.
13:41I haven't seen you since.
13:44I was driving to Yergeshove.
13:46You put your head out of the window.
13:48We nearly bumped noses.
13:53It was rather a shock to see you that evening.
13:56What were you doing alone on the road?
13:58I had been harvesting.
14:00It was a glorious day.
14:03The peasants were singing as they went home.
14:05Oh I haven't heard them sing for ages.
14:08Then you must again.
14:09Soon.
14:12The thing was.
14:14They were so happy.
14:15So natural.
14:17I was sorry I couldn't be a part of it.
14:20How could you be?
14:21I know.
14:22I know.
14:24But I was feeling...
14:26I was feeling as though I belonged nowhere.
14:28Suddenly...
14:29I popped up.
14:30Out of nowhere.
14:33Kitty.
14:35Yes.
14:38Yes.
14:39Yes.
14:40Yes.
14:41Yes.
15:05Yes.
15:11Hi.
15:12Yes.
15:14Let's go.
15:16Yes.
15:17thank you for waiting
15:47I do so well to speak to you and we couldn't talk in the drawing room
15:51I have to leave in any case but I wanted to bid you good night with my thanks for a pleasant evening
15:57oh wait forgive me I have no right but I love Anna she'd been such a good friend to me
16:03I beg you to tell me what's wrong what do you accuse her of but surely steve has told you
16:09I don't believe it I can't believe it but one can't deny facts what facts what has she done
16:15but you insist on details nevertheless I shall satisfy you my wife admits her infidelity indeed she
16:24she boasts of it oh that's not possible
16:29I would give a great deal to have any doubts while I was in doubt it was hard but not as hard as it is
16:35when I doubted I could hope and now there's no hope and still I doubt everything
16:45I'm in such doubt that often I can't bear to look at my son
16:50sometimes I don't believe that he is my son now can you imagine what that means yes
16:54yes yes I believe I can
17:00so you mean to divorce her there's nothing else to do oh there must be anything only not divorce
17:06but you must understand that this trouble isn't like others like illness or somebody's death
17:11one can't just bear one's cross it's necessary to act I see that and I do sympathize but divorce
17:17we should be nobody's wife should be lost at her own choice oh how could any woman choose that
17:24but even so you're a christian man can you not forgive
17:28I've tried but I can't
17:34I don't think I'm spiteful until now I've never hated anyone but I hate her I hate her with all my
17:40soul for what she's done still you could be merciful love them that hate you
17:52that is just possible one can't love those whom one hates
18:00I'm sorry I didn't want to upset you but you must realize that it's all over
18:04good night

22:22Stremorf appointed chief commissioner well you see what this means they must be mad sir to appoint him
22:32those whom the gods wish to destroy never mind about me that's of no consequence but really to
22:38appoint Stremorf a man totally unfitted well they'll live to regret it won't alter my plans perhaps sir
22:48hmm perhaps you should read the other telegram oh
22:54this is a trick isn't it it's a trick I must say sir

31:07oh
31:08oh
31:10oh
33:46It's a miracle.
33:48Yes.
33:49I agree with you.
33:51The doctors themselves...
33:52Are you sure?
33:53They couldn't be mistaken.
33:55I think not.
33:56She's going to get well.
33:57I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse me.
34:01I can't quite believe it.
34:05In that room three days ago when Alan was dying she persuaded us to shake hands.
34:19You were moved to forgive her and me.
34:24Will you shake hands now?
34:29Willingly.
34:33I had better go.
34:34No, no.
34:34Wait, please.
34:35I have something I wish to say to you.
34:40Pray be good enough to listen.
34:42Certainly.
34:42What is it?
34:44I must explain to you my feelings.
34:48No, it's better not to use emotional words even when speaking of emotions.
34:52I desire you to make no mistake about me.
34:56I must explain to you my motives.
34:59The motives that have guided me in the past and those that guide me now.
35:02Do you consider it necessary?
35:03I'm sorry, I do.
35:06Please.
35:12You know that I had already decided on a divorce.
35:16I knew it was in your mind, yes.
35:18Proceedings had already begun.
35:22I was not prepared, for many reasons, to submit myself to the deceit and subterfuges of a divorce by arrangement.
35:29As an innocent man, I couldn't proclaim myself guilty in the eyes of the world.
35:34Nobody in the world would believe that you were.
35:37In that case, I should have proclaimed myself a liar.
35:41I see.
35:43But that was only a part of it.
35:47I confess that I wanted to be revenged.
35:51Both on you and on her.
35:55That she should be degraded, banned from remarriage.
35:59Prevented from ever again seeing her son.
36:02I felt that nothing less would satisfy me.
36:06In Moscow, when a telegram came,
36:09I wouldn't believe in her repentance.
36:13She said she was dying.
36:17I hoped that she was.
36:20But you hoped for that.
36:22God forgive me, yes.
36:23On my journey here, I hoped to find her dead.
36:31Your aversion is very natural.
36:34No, no, you are quite wrong.
36:36Well, I was only surprised to find in you such a...
36:43What?
36:43Excuse me, such a depth of feeling.
36:50Surprised?
36:54Oh, yes, I suppose so.
36:57But to wish someone dead.
37:00No, I don't find it strange.
37:02Though for myself, I've never had to meet that situation.
37:08I am a soldier, as you know,
37:10and soldiers are trained to face death.
37:13They are also trained to contemplate the death
37:15of their enemies,
37:18or rather the enemies of their country.
37:21And for a soldier, they're one and the same.
37:25Has that ever occurred to you?
37:26No, no, no, I don't think so.
37:31You see, a soldier has to imagine
37:33not only his own death,
37:35but the necessity to kill.
37:40This is more difficult,
37:41but a good soldier learns quickly.
37:42You must have thought of Anna
37:43as your enemy,
37:46as I was.
37:50So you wished her to die.
37:53It's not so strange.
37:56Now, what astonished me
37:58was that you were prepared to forgive.
38:01But that's what I wanted you to know.
38:04I forgave her.
38:07And I forgive you.
38:09Because only in forgiveness
38:12can I find salvation.
38:15No, no, it's more than that.
38:16It's happiness.
38:19And joy.
38:22Oh, I pray to God
38:23not to deprive me of this.
38:25joy of forgiving.
38:30You are making me ashamed.
38:34Oh, you must find your own salvation.
38:37I know that.
38:41My duty is plain.
38:44Oh, you can do what you like.
38:47Drag my name through the mud,
38:48make me the laughingstock of the world,
38:50but I shall not forsake her.
38:52And I shall never reproach you.
38:55I'm bound to stay with her now,
38:57and I will.
38:59And
39:00when she wants to see you,
39:04I'll send word.
39:07You see, the most wonderful thing is
39:09that in spite of my wishing
39:11she's going to live.
39:14there, there, now.
39:28Oh, the blessed sweat.
39:32There, now.
39:34all the fever
39:37pouring out.
39:39I love to see.
39:41There, there, now, my pretty.
39:44Oh, Nushka.
39:58You've been crying.
39:59Oh, Madhu.
40:02Madhu.
40:05We all thought...
40:06...so did I.
40:09Over now.
40:13How is my baby?
40:14Very well.
40:15Beautiful.
40:17A lovely little girl.
40:20I...
40:21I should like...
40:23...to see her.
40:34My hair!
40:36What's happened to my hair?
40:47Drive on.
40:49Anywhere.
40:50Drive anywhere.
41:06Look at him.
41:15I want you to look at him.
41:18He's a saint.
41:19Oh, you can do what you like.
41:21He's a saint.
41:23They've been a laughingstock of the world.
41:25Two hands away.
41:26Look at him.
41:27I want you to look at him.
41:29And I shall never reproach you.
41:30You were my husband, too.
41:33And...
41:34I was explaining.
41:36Suddenly it all changed.
41:38Alexei.
41:42Alexei!
41:43He's a saint.
41:44I confess.
41:45I wanted to be a revenge.
41:47He's a saint.
41:48I forgave her.
41:50I'm falling.
41:51And I forgive you.
41:53I'm falling.
41:54I'm falling.
41:54Oh, God.
42:00Oh, God.
42:04And I forgive you.
42:05Look at him.
42:06But I shall not forsake her.
42:07I want you to look at him.
42:09And you must find your own salvation.
42:12There's no necessity to kill.
42:14A soldier imagines his own death.
42:24His own.
42:27He's trained to face death.
43:14Sir.
43:16What happened?
43:17Herman.
43:18Herman, where the devil is.
43:20Thank God.
43:21Thank God you're alive.
43:23Herman, pick that up.
43:29I'll give it here.
43:31Oh, sir.
43:32But I won't.
43:33Faria, dear.
43:47How nice.
43:48Well, Betsy, I'm glad to see you.
43:50Have you visited Anna?
43:51I was allowed one glimpse.
43:53How is she?
43:54Better, thank heaven.
43:55And the fever's quite gone.
43:56But she's as weak as a kitten.
43:57And they won't let her speak much.
43:59No gossip today, Faria.
44:01That's hardly what I came for.
44:02Oh?
44:03Something more serious, perhaps?
44:05Indeed, yes.
44:07And you'll get to know in any event.
44:09So I may as well tell you.
44:10Then it's not a deadly secret.
44:12Pity.
44:13Part of it is.
44:14But I hope you'll keep that part to yourself.
44:16But of course.
44:17Faria, you know me.
44:18Oh, me too well.
44:20But I believe you're fond of my brother-in-law.
44:22Alexei?
44:23Is it about Alexei?
44:25Last night he did a dreadful thing.
44:27For heaven's sake, what?
44:28He tried to kill himself.
44:30What?
44:31And he's very ill.
44:33The shot entered his chest and broke two ribs.
44:36But thanks be to God it missed the heart.
44:38His servant got a doctor very quickly.
44:40Is he in danger?
44:41I don't think so.
44:41The doctors say he should pull through with great care and good nursing.
44:45Who's going to nurse him?
44:47You.
44:47He asked for me.
44:50Well, no one better.
44:54A ministering angel, though, as everyone knows.
44:58What happened here yesterday?
45:00Something did, I'll swear to it.
45:02Yeah?
45:02What do you mean?
45:03I don't know, but Faria, did you come to tell Anna?
45:06Oh, no.
45:07I'm sure she mustn't be told.
45:08Not yet, I agree.
45:09I came to see her husband.
45:11He ought to be told, don't you think?
45:12Then he can break it to Anna when she's well enough.
45:14Is he at home?
45:15I believe so.
45:16At least it was when I arrived.
45:18That's what gave me the notion that...
45:20Well, you know he can't stand the sight of me.
45:22No, truly.
45:23He thinks I'm a naughty influence.
45:24So you are.
45:25Fiddlesticks.
45:26I just like everyone to be happy, and Karenin doesn't.
45:29But today, quite changed.
45:32All sweetness and light.
45:34Well, not exactly that, but calm.
45:36There was a sort of noble humility about him, which I found absolutely repulsive.
45:41Betsy, you're quite shocking.
45:42How I wish I knew.
45:47Surely are you not the Countess...
45:49Faria Fedorovna.
45:50Countess Vronsky.
45:52Ah, yes.
45:53You would have come to inquire for my wife.
45:56No doubt the princess would have informed you.
45:57Yes, and I'm so pleased she's better.
46:00By God's mercy.
46:01Amen.
46:01Then, I should like to talk to you.
46:04But to me, I have to...
46:05I shall not keep you five minutes.
46:07It's rather important.
46:09In that case, won't you come this way, please?
46:16Faria.
46:17Yes?
46:18Promise you'll let me know as soon as there's any news.
46:21Of course.
46:22Of course.
46:22Of course.
