Rose Marie (1954) - full transcript

Hey, there.

Hey, boy.

Hey... there.

Come here, boy.

Hey, I'm looking for the
cabin of trapper Lemaitre.

Do you know it?

I said, I'm looking for..

Look, I can't shout
my head off, come closer.

What's the matter,
boy? Scared?

I won't bite you.
Come here.

That's better.



I'm looking for
the cabin of tra..

Hey, boy. You're a girl.

Well, it's a,
it's a girl I'm after.

The daughter
of trapper Lemaitre.

They call her..

So, you're Rose Marie.

'Rose Marie Lemaitre.'

Mine's Mike. Mike Malone.

Maybe you've heard
tell of me from your father.

'Well, last fall,
when-when he was sick'

he-he knew he won't pull
through the winter so

he asked me to come up here
and look after his little girl

when-when he was gone.

'You've been all alone
up here and that's bad.'



But you don't have to worry
about being alone anymore.

Hey!

Come back, here.

Hey!

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie!

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie.

Rose Marie!

Now, listen first
and stab me afterwards, huh?

You really don't think you can
get away from a Mountie, do you?

Mounties always get their man.
Even when it's a girl.

Now, look, let's get-together
on this whole thing.

I don't want you,
you don't want me

but we're stuck
with each other.

I'm taking you to Fort McCroy,
those are my orders

you might as well make up your
mind and don't start anything.

It won't do you
bit of good.

Monsieur,please.
Let me go. I beg you.

Look, you really
are scared, aren't you?

Well, you don't have to be.
I'm your friend.

The inspector told your father
he'd take care of you and--

- I take care of myself.
- We'll argue about that later.

Without knives.

But right now,
you're going with me.

You know you can't
stay here all alone.

Your father knew that. A man
might get by, but not a girl.

I live here all my life.
I love it. I'm not afraid.

I love it too.
But it's no place for a girl.

Everybody knows that.
Stories about it, even songs.

It's no place for a girl.

(Howard Keel singing
"The Right Place For A Girl")

Where the cataracts roar

And the north winds blow

And the snow flakes
eddy and whirl

For a man it's
a wonderful shore

But it's no place for a girl

When the water birds soar
from the frozen stream

And the land turns
to mother of pearl

'Tis a place for a man
and his dream

But it's no place

For a girl

A girl must have
the best of things

A chance to bud
a chance to blossom

Ladies fingers
are made for rings

Not for skinning
the hide of a possum

The more that you live

The more you will learn

As the years of
your life unfold

In the arms of a man

The right kind of man

Is the right place

For a girl

Alright, let's go.

You wanna ride
to Fort like this

or you want to sit in
the saddle like a lady?

I sit.

Fort McCroy detachment, all
present and correct, Sergeant.

Carry on, Corporal.

'Eyes front!'

Eyes front!

Sit down.

- Johnson.
- 'Yes, Sergeant.'

Go ahead.

Men, uh, we have ourselves
a new recruit.

This is Rose Marie Lemaitre.

Would you care to say,
hello, dear?

She wants to be friendly,
but she's just a child.

And you know
how it is with kids

action speak
louder than words.

Eyes front!

McCorkle!

Right here, Sarge.

Sergeant. Sergeant.

You mean,
I've been promoted?

Promoted? Of course not.

Promises. That's all
I get. Promises.

I've been here long enough
to be a Field Marshal.

I-I got a good notion
to hand in my two weeks notice.

In the meantime you got
yourself a new prisoner.

- A tough one.
- Tough?

Well, they come no tougher
than Barney McCorkle.

I'm a tower of strength.
A monument of muscle.

A bundle of biceps.

Just watch out
for your fingers.

Fingers?

I've been neglecting my cuticle.

Alright, Mac.
Whatcha in for, murder?

A girl.

A small, diminutive girl.

Well, anyway, a girl.

Please, nice gun man.

You have face so nice,
kind. Please.

You let go me, yes?

Look, girlie. If I let go
you, they let go me.

And on a clear day,
I can see my pension.

What's your name, girlie?

Uh, Minnie? Fiffy?

Lily?

Fleur Jacque?

I think, I better speak
to you in your native tongue.

Moi, Barney.
Et vous?

Moi, Rose Marie.

Rosie.

A fine Irish name.

Me and you is gonna
get along great together.

I'm-I'm pleased to meet
your acquaintance.

Let go off those keys.

(Howard Keel singing
"Mounties")

On thru' the hail

Like a pack of
angry wolves on the trail

We are after you
dead or alive

We are out to get you
dead or alive

And we'll get you too

In peace or war
We're the story of Canada

Cheer for the Corps
for the glory of Canada

Here come the Mounties

The Maple Leaf Forever more

Through thunder and hail

Following trouble

Following trouble

Oh travel the trail
ride on the double

Ride on the double

A cheer for the Mounties

For here come the Mounties

We ride winter or spring

And as we ride we sing

In war or peace

There is no one
like the Royal Police

Men who'll always
be loyal and true

To the uniform
of scarlet and blue

Ever unafraid

In peace or war
We're the story of Canada

Cheer for the Corps
for the glory of Canada

Here come the Mounties

The Maple Leaf
Forever more

Fort McCroy, all present
and correct, sir.

Well, well.

Looks like, I've
been away too long.

Bad shave.

Button needs polishing.

Bad shave.
Stirrup too low.

Bad shave. Bad shave.

Don't any of you men
know how to use a razor?

Now, that's what
I call a shave.

Yes, sir.

'Are you by any chance,
stark raving mad, my friend?'

Sir?

I said, are you
out of your mind?

Good grief! I don't know which
to have you discharged for.

Insubordination
or congenital idiocy.

I don't quite
follow the Inspector.

Sergeant, has the thought ever
entered your child-like brain

that this wild gal of the woods
who lives the life of a Mountie

like any other man,
is not a man at all?

But a woman, sir.
A fully developed woman.

Well? I'm waiting.

A fully developed..

Rose Marie?

- Why, sh-she's just a kid, sir.
- She's a woman!

With all that
that fact implies.

You mean tha--

I mean what I say,
confound it! She's a woman.

An adult female person,
you've heard the word.

A woman.

Well, I'd-I'd never thought
of her that way, sir--

You better start right now.
You better start right now.

And soon as you
start it, stop.

Uh, miss, come in here.
Come in here.

Oh,bonjour monsieur.

Oh, Mike, Mike, you know
what Harold does just now

when I give him his dinner?

Eat with good appetite,
the food.

Then turn and kiss me here.

Ho, behold,monsieur.Still red.

What did I tell you?

Who's Harold?

- Her horse, sir.
- Oh, a fine horse,monsieur.

Old, but still alive.

Like you,monsieur.

Uh, now, see here, miss,
uh, the Sergeant and I

have been having
some words about you.

Oh, you speak
of me with Mike?

- Yes. Now, here's what, uh--
- You like Mike?

Like him?

Oh, sure.

I'm crazy about him.

I too am crazy.

First I hate this man
and think to kill him.

But then, he teach me
to ride Harold

so I do not kill
this man, I love him.

Is life, no?
Is the way it goes.

Um, speaking of going,
there's a trading post

called Maple Rock
about 20 miles up river.

There's some houses
there and people

and among them,
a cousin of mine.

How would you like
to go live with her

and learn to be a woman?

I do not like.

Like it or not that's where
you're going in the morning.

'You'll like it fine
at Maple Rock.'

Grow your hair long,
give you pretty clothes to wear.

Make you over into a
regular little lady.

No! I will not be lady.

I want to be just as free

as the wind and
the evergreen tree.

Free like the rabbit
that runs through the down.

Not like a..

Turtle who live in a shell

I hear you say

You would want me to grow up
in lady like way

Maybe that's good for some
girl that you see

But not Rose Marie

How would I look
in a polka dot bonnet

All prettied up like
the ladies on stage

Rather I sing
as a bird on the wing

And be showing fine
feathers in cage

No no no

This life I love

Where each mountain and stream
are as peaceful as dove

No one but me
and the blue sky above

I'm free to be free

Ask the little whippoorwill
sitting on the windowsill

What he say if you
not let him fly

Ask the little bobolink
Can I tell you what I think?

He will tell to you
same thing as I

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah ah

He will tell to you
same thing as I

He'll say that

I want to be

Just as free as the cloud
floating over the sea

Free as the ocean
that rise up and swell

Not so like bucket
you chain to the well

Free as the air
with the rain in my face

And with wind in my hair

Riding along
in the land that I love

I'm free to

Be free

Please,monsieur.■
I stay here, yes?

No no. You leave for Maple Rock
at nine in the morning.

The Sergeant will go with you

and see that you
reach my cousin's.

Too bad. She'd have
made a great Mountie.

Go get her.

Yes, sir.

We skip the bracelets
this time.

Oh, Mike! Mike,
I have the great wish

not to go to Maple Rock.
Please, Mike.

It's not my idea.

No. No. It's the man
with the face.

Oh, Mike. I-I hate
this man most happily.

Well, what do you
need to do about it?

- Kill him.
- Kill him?

Sure. Is easy.

I show him how I shoot
the head at 50 paces

but I do not shoot the head.
I shoot the face.Voila.

That's no way
to talk about a man

that just made you
a present of a horse.

You mean, Harold?

He... give me Harold?

Oh, then I do not kill
this man. I only wound.

M-Mike, y-you know, this man
he think of me as woman?

You do not think
of me as woman, Mike.

- Well, I, uh..
- Mike.

Always you say,
like father like son

you and me, Mike, yes?

Sure, but it's-it's not
what I think, Rose Marie

it's-it's what
others think.

Well, look, it-it's this way.
You're, you're growing up.

You have grown up
and I guess I-I hadn't noticed.

Noticed what?

Well, uh, look, there

there comes a time
when-when all of a sudden

the woman becomes, uh,
interesting, see what I mean?

No, I don't see nothing.

Well, interesting
to a... to a man.

What man?

Oh, no man in particular.
Just-just any man.

And all of a sudden
I'm interesting to a man?

Oh, yes.
Yes you are.

You are right.
I am interesting.

Sure you are.

And, now
that you're interesting

you'll want to find that a man
can be interesting too.

Maybe, maybe some nights
you'll be some place quite

and peaceful
up in the hills and--

What place, Mike?

I don't know what place.
Just any place.

- Like, like this place?
- Could be like this place.

And you'll be there,
the man will..

And all of a sudden,
he'll realize how he feels

about you and start
to tell you about it.

What will he tell,
this man?

There's lots of things a man
can say about a girl like you.

- If he felt that way about you.
- Like how, Mike?

Well, like for instance,
he might say..

Oh sweet Rose Marie
It's easy to see

Why all who learn
to know you love you

You're gentle and kind

Divinely designed

Divinely designed?

What is divinely designed, Mike?

Well, it... it means
that you got a good shape.

But I do not have
the shape at all.

Maybe not in that drape.

Dressed up the way
you ought to be.

You would be graceful
as the pines above you

There's an angel's breath
beneath your soul

There's a little devil
in your eyes

You're silly,
but nice. More.

Oh Rose Marie

I love you

I'm always dreaming of you

No matter what I do
I can't forget you

Sometimes I wish
that I had never met you

And yet if I should lose you

Would mean my
very life to me

Of all the queens
that ever lived I choose you

To rule me

My Rose Marie

Well, you see what I mean,
that's what a man might say.

When he does this, Mike?

If he loves you.

- Mike.
- Hm.

I think I go learn
be woman after all.

- Mike.
- Hm.

These thing
you tell me about.

- You ever say them to a woman?
- No.

Why you didn't, Mike?

I've never been in love,
that's why.

Why you wasn't in love?

Well, it's mighty
complicated for a Mountie

if he falls in love.

First, you have to apply
in writing to the inspector.

Then you have to get
an okay from Edmonton.

Then they have to check
with headquarters at Ottawa.

- Marie, are you listening?
- Oh, sure, Mike, I listen.

What was I saying?

You say, you going to write
letter to someone named

Edmonton Otto
and then they're going to..

I don't know, Mike.

I was telling you what a Mountie
has to do to get married.

- Yes, Mike.
- First, he has to apply--

Oh, Mike.

Mike, I have
the great pain twice.

- What pain?
- Oh, here is hungry.

Oh, and here... is sore.

Well, with here...
I can help you out.

Ah!

Where it's sore...
you're on your own.

Come on, bear up. We'll be in
Maple Rock in time for supper.

Wait here.

Well,bonsoir,Malone.
Nice evening.

How are things with the law?

- Let's have the gun, Duval.
- Wait a minute, it's my gun.

It was your gun. It's
evidence now. Let's have it.

Shooting a deer out of season
and a hind at that

it's thinking pretty low
even for you, Duval.

You know, the trouble
with people like you

is you always think
the worst of people like me.

- Tell it to the judge.
- I think I did say that.

Funny thing about people
with honest faces

you can always tell
what they're gonna say

before they say it.
Now with me..

You don't want
to hear what happened?

I've got eyes.

They only tell you
the half of it.

I'm listening.

I shot the hind, I had to.
It's neck was broken.

- Who broke it?
- A puma.

Sprang down at it, out of
the tree right there behind you.

I fired at the puma
and hit him.

Anyway, he took off
through the woods.

The hind was done for.
So I-I put it to sleep.

It was a kind thing
to do, wasn't it?

There's no claw marks,
no sign of mauling.

I told you, the puma
took off as soon as I fired.

You're slipping, Duval.

You tell them better
than that as a rule.

Yeah, I have a very
rich imagination.

- You see, the trouble with--
- Get up on the horse.

Alright.

Harold.

Hold on.

Harold, stop.

Hold on.

Stop, Harold.

Eh!

Harold.

Oh,mille merci, monsieur.
mille merci.

That's alright.
What sacred you?

Mm, puma. How you say, a lion
spring at him from the bushes.

I got him, Mike. I killed
the lion with the knife.

- That's good. You alright?
- Uh-huh.

I told you, a puma.

A deer-killing puma.

I only wounded him,
but you'll find my bullet.

Two bullets in him now.

Then I do not kill him?

Well, you didn't
do him any good.

Alright, Duval.
And thanks.

Anytime, Malone.
Anytime.

- Au revoir, monsieur.
- Au revoir, mademoiselle.

Let's party, folks.
Come on, follow me.

Tonight the drinks
are on the house.

Tonight the drinks are
on the house, everybody.

- You know why?
- Why?

- You guess who's back in town?
- Who?

Barney McCorkle.

Hold on there, hold on.
He'll be over here in a minute.

And let's give him
a rousing welcome

when he comes
through those doors.

Come on.

For he's
a jolly good fellow..

Put down now.
Put down the law.

For he's
a jolly good fellow

- Barney, you son of a gun.
- No, no, don't speak.

Don't say nothing.

Let me remember you
just this way always.

- What, why?
- Standing there so regal like.

Your eyes like stagnant pools.

Your dress sparkling like
a mother lode in the moonlight.

I do glitter
kinda pretty, don't I?

They get these here sickles from
the salmon up in Bristol Bay.

Look better on me
than the darned face.

I missed you, Girly.

The thought of you
depressing me during the day

nagging me at night... and
frustrating me at twilight.

Barney, you romantic
old cartoon.

Now, please, please.

The inspector sent me down
here to restore law and order.

Not for nol'amour toujours.

I know that, you dope.
I asked him to send you.

- You?
- Sure.

Me and him's kiss and kin.

But he said there was
a desperate character down here.

There is... me.

After all it's spring.

Well, what do you think
about in spring?

Getting out of
my long underwear.

That's what I like.
Oh, God, come on.

What'll you have?

Make mine sulphur molasses,
over the rocks.

Here's a toast
to the finest Mountie

who ever
mounted our mount.

That blundering bloodhound,
Barney McCorkle!

Not so fast.
Not so fast.

Oh I'm on the trail
I'm over hill and dale

And I ride ride
ride as only I can

But oh the shame
everybody knows my name

I'm the Mountie
who never got his man

There's a killer at large
The bugle sounds the charge

To the saddles men
and give a brave account

But what remorse

For I can't get on my horse

I'm a Mountie
who cannot even mount

As I ride through
every town and county

Little boys yell
look ma that's a Mountie

My buddies mock me
as I sally forth

To you I'm a cockle
of the Mounties

To them I'm Chinook
of the North

I've been on the force
even longer than my horse

If you wonder why
they've kept me here so long

Though I can't track them
through the snows

I'm the only Mountie
who knows

That's right.

Every word of the
Mounties Marching Song

For we march march march

And we ride ride ride

And we march
and we ride against the foe

It's a long long way
to icy Hudson Bay

So I don't think
that I will go

Well, you can laugh.
Once I almost got the man.

- Tell us about it, Barney.
- Well..

It was the year
of the Caribou famine.

Saskatoon Dan was his name.

He came from one of the Finger
Lakes, so we called him Pinky.

He was a mean
treacheroushombre.

Always saying things
behind your back.

Like stick 'em up.

Now, Dan was stuck on a little
Eskimo girl called Ungunga.

One day, Dan had a little
too much whale meat

and went blubber happy.

So, that night he snuck
into Ungunga's igloo.

But she repulsed him.

Dan didn't care 'cause
he was mighty repulsive too.

Well, so, it seems
Ungunga was sweet

on another Eskimo
called Fangalanga.

So, in a fit of jealousy,
Dan cut off her nose.

You see, he didn't want her
kissing anyone else.

Yes, he cut off her nose
and away he ran.

So, they set me out
to get Saskatoon Dan.

So I march march march
and I ride ride ride

Looking for Saskatoon Dan

I ain't looking for Chloe
or Shanghai Lille

I ain't looking for
that little blue bird

That lives on the hill

Like a beguine
that was never again

I'm the Mountie
who never got his man

Or woman

I'm the Mountie
who never got his man

Sarge!

Sergeant, Sergeant.

This is getting
to be monotonous.

- Barney.
- Rosie.

Ha ha.

What are you doing here?

Sir, doing a desperate
character, Sarge, uh, sergeant.

Barney!

Ah, Inspector Appleby's
compliments, Lady Jane.

- Rose Marie.
- Ah!

This must be the young chick
who wants to become a woman.

That's right. But
watch out for your fingers.

Mike, it's not nice. I have
not bite anyone for months.

How's that?

'Bye, Mike.'

Hey Sergeant, have a heart.

We're getting all wore up
picking up papers.

That's going on every
night now for two weeks.

If you're having trouble,
we'll be glad to help you.

Very easy to write a letter.
Think of what you wanna say.

Get it into words,
you know how to spell

'put it on paper
and there's your letter.'

Very helpful.

But I have to know what I
wanna say and how to spell it.

It's just... getting started,
it's tough.

Well, that's easy, how about,
"Dear sir."

A sergeant writes a letter

To make her love him better

A lion when he's tracking
down a killer

He turns to jelly
seeking words to thrill her

Poor Mike our Mike a poet

He's not well-versed
in poetry

'Tis clear to see his manly
heart is breaking

Yes hemorrhaging

Poor lover..

'O-ow! What?'

Oh, no.

It ain't decent
to go without a corset.

Oh, Jane, I do
everything like you say.

I try like anything
to be lady.

- Is right?
- Is right.

Oh, then please, do not ask
me to do this bad thing.

Okay, chicken.

You got all the right things
in right places anyhow.

How's it feel to be
a real live feminine female?

Kind of sassy, ain't it?

I look like so
at the dance tonight.

You look like so
at the dance.

Kind a like the way I'd
want my daughter to look..

...if I had one.

Well, guess now I do.

- Oh, Jane.
- Alright, alright now.

Let's get organized.

- You do the Quadrille with?
- Arthur.

- You do the Mazurka with?
- Tom.

- You poker the polka with?
- Jonny Lan.

And if you wanna get
closer acquainted with a fella?

I go like so
with the handkerchief.

And then... like so
with the fan.

You got it, chicken.

Be the way I tell you.
Look the way I fix you.

May the tough and tall
bust a gut going crazy for you.

'You'd best get some rest
before the dance.'

Jim, Jim Duval.

- Bonjour,Jim.■
- Bonjour, mademoiselle.

You come to the dance..

Wanda.

What are you trying to do?
Start a forest fire?

Still the same Wanda.

Tell me, did you get yourself
a husband since last spring?

No?

It was a cold winter, eh?

Which one of the braves
do you want?

Maybe I can..

Me?

Oh, no,cherie,no.
I'm not the marrying kind.

But thank you.
Thank you for the offer.

Oh, by the way,
I brought you a present.

- Fox. You like fox?
- Mm.

The best
I trapped all year.

Ha! soft eh?

Now, there is a little
business I'd like to talk

over with the Chief. Suppose
you show me to his tent, uh?

Tell him Jim Duval is here.

- You give?
- That's right.

Take back. You will
not give to Indian. No.

Sorry, Wanda.

A man of your people
and woman of mine

to become good
friends... not good.

Easy, Chief. Easy.

I'm here
to see you not Wanda.

That land of yours
up this river

the land we talked about
last year, remember?

You asked 400.

- There she is.
- This year 800.

- Now, wait a minute.
- 800.

Look, I don't have 800.

It took me
a whole year to get this.

Bring 800,
land is yours.

Alright.
You'll get it.

Thank you, Rose Marie.
Thank you, Lady Jane.

Well, chicken, if they're
handing out the plumbers

you would be
graduating tonight.

- I am woman now?
- And a lot of cute one, too.

You've done me proud.

Oh, but, Jane,
I do not feel like woman.

I do not feel it here.

How's that?

I do quadrille with Arthur.

I make mazurka with Tom.
My polka with Johnny Lang.

Poor Johnny.

He look at me as if
to die and I feel nothing.

Oh, look.

I can fix you up
all grand and glory outside

but inside, honey,
that's up to you.

I know.

Jane, I am not woman.

I do not have the love.

Aw, you got
the love, alright.

You got a barrelful
all stocked up

and looking
for some lucky Joe.

- You think?
- You betcha.

You just haven't met him yet.
The one who likes the few.

Are you spoken for, ma'am?

One, two.

It's a very
nice contribution.

Yeah. Ought to bring $50.

Rose Marie?

- You think 50?
- Yeah.

Like they say

we're mighty obligated
for the use of the hall.

It's a very nice night
for me and I know

it makes Jane very happy.

Well, $400 in this kitty.

Thank you.

Just about what I need.
But please, no talk.

Turn around.

Hands against the wall gently.

Come on.

Thank you.

Now that you have what you want,
why don't you leave?

In a minute.

First I... I want
to hold you in my arms.

And dance.

This-this is
a big joke you make.

You know what,
I'm afraid it is no joke.

But it must be.

You wouldn't take the money that
the people paid for charity.

- Charity?
- It's true.

It's for charity.

No, not for charity.

Your dance was worth the money.

Hold up!

Hold up!

- Wah!
- Hah! Ah!

Oh, it is you, huh?

At first, I thought
it was Malone.

You don't feel
like the Sergeant.

And I like it.

I like it better
if you put me down.

I'm afraid to do
that,cherie.

Maybe you work
for the Mounties now.

So if I put you down,
you will capture me.

- I would not do that.
- Oh, you wouldn't?

Well, in that case,
I'm very, very much relieved.

Now, uh, tell me

if you didn't come to capture
me, why did you follow me?

- I do not follow you.
- Oh, I see.

You just took a walk
through the woods, huh?

Why not?

Why not?

Specially, in the middle
of the night.

You take the money
from the people, why?

It was for a something
I wanted very much.

I gave it back.

Why?

The way you looked at me.

What else could I do?

You make the kiss with me.

You made it back.

I did not.

You know

a man knows
when he's on his own

and when he has company.

It was very nice company.

You like to kiss
the boys, huh?

Was the first kiss
I make in all my life.

Well, then,cherie

you... you shouldn't be walking
alone in the moonlight.

What have, what have you
done all your life?

Driving, fishing.

But now, Lady Jane
teaches me to be a lady.

To wear dresses and..

...to behave with manners.

You would not believe this,
but I used to bite people.

Oh, you laugh.

To learn the right things
is very important.

How they teach you
what it means to be in love?

When it happens to me

I will know.

Will you,cherie?

What's that?

Jim, you heard it too?

Yes.

There's someone
up there, calling.

No, Jim, no one.

Rose Marie,
I'm a very practical man.

When you hear a voice
in the forest

there is always
someone there.

Not always.

If you hear a voice
and no one is there

then something
is wrong here.

Or here.

You-you were not born
in these mountains, Jim?

No. Way up
in the Yukon.

Well, here
it is different.

Once there was
an Indian girl

who love Indian boy
of different tribe.

One day, his tribe
go very far away

across the mountains

and she never
see him again.

But she love him
for always.

And so at night
she call to him

and the mountains
carry the call.

Was long,
long time ago, but..

...Indian say their
spirits still live

in the mountains.

And if someone love someone,
and call to him from far away

the one she love
will hear the call.

Even today.

Yes.

I heard that story once.

(Ann Blyth and Fernando Lamas
singing "Indian Love Call")

So echoes
of sweet love notes

Gently fall

Through the forest stillness

As found waiting

Indian lover's

Call

When the lone lagoon

Stirs in the spring

Welcoming home some

Swannee white wing

When the maiden moon

Riding the sky

Gathers her star eyed dream

Children nigh

That is the time

Of the moon and the year

When love dreams

To Indian maidens appear

And this is the song

That they hear

When I'm calling you

I will answer you

That means
I offer my love to you

To be your own

If you refuse me

I will be blue

And waiting all alone

But if when you hear

My love call ringing clear

And I hear
your answering echo

So dear

Then I will know

Our love

Will come true

You'll belong to me

I'll belong

To

You

Now look, I'm certain
there is gold

on that land of yours
up at Peace River.

I wanna dig for it.

Here's my idea.

You give me the land free.

I'll work it
and give you one half

of what comes out of it.

No. Buy for 800.

I don't even have 400 now.

No money. No land.

That's not a heart
you've got.

That's granite.

I like to open up
that tough red skin of yours

and prove it.

Bonjour,Malone.

Nice day.

How are things with the law?

Well, they tell me that, uh

Robin Hood
was in town on Saturday.

Robin Hood?

Stole the people's money
and then gave it back.

How come he
got so squeamish?

Why ask me?

Because it was you, Duval.

I know it
and you know it.

There'll be no charge
this time.

Thank you for
the warning, Sergeant.

I'll-I'll bear it in mind.

I'm not through yet, Duval.

What I just said
is official.

But unofficially,
just between you and me

the next time you force
yourself on a girl

at the point of a gun--

Why, Sergeant.

Why, you surprise me.

Well..

Beneath the Mountie
scarlet breast

the bitter passion strong.

To think they are
the slips at breast

the place where his belong.

Right, Sergeant?

Stay away from Rose Marie,
Duval, stay clear away or..

You're a troublemaker, Duval.

But even you don't want
this much trouble.

Good evening, Lady Jane.

Socks and shoes,
it's the law!

- Is, uh, Marie in?
- Sure is.

Marie!

Mike!

Oh!

Here.

Let me take a look at you.

Marie, you're..

...you're beautiful.

That's what I think too.

Hah, kinda cute, eh?

'Ma'am, you did a great job.'

Oh, Mike.

You here is so wonderful.

You miss me?

Always I miss you, Mike.

- How long you stay?
- Well, uh, I don't.

I'm on my way back
right now.

- Tonight?
- Hmm.

I've, uh... I've only
got a minute.

So listen real hard
and don't interrupt.

Uh..

Remember, me telling you

what a Mountie has to go through
if he wants to get married?

All the letters he has to write
applying to the inspector

getting the okay from Edmonton
and checking with Ottawa.

- Remember?
- Yes, sure, Mike.

Well, I hate
writing letters.

But I'm gonna do it.

You wish for to make the
marriage with somebody, Mike?

- Yeah.
- Who do you wish to marry?

You.

Me?

But, Mike

like son, like father,
you and me, Mike, yes?

No.

Like daughter?

I am like daughter?

No.

Try again.

You mean, you..

I mean... I wish to make
the marriage with you.

That's what I wish for,
Marie, with... with all my heart.

(Howard Keel singing
"Rose Marie")

Oh, Rose Marie, I love you

I'm always dreaming of you

No other love can ever
be my true love

No other love can fill
my heart like your love

Of all the dreams I long for

No dearer dreams
can come to me

Than holding in my arms
the one I long for

I love you

My Rose Marie

But, Mike, I... I never
think of you that way.

I know.

But try.

Try real hard.

Starting right now.

I'll be back.

Who died?

He kissed me.

Him too?

Don't move.

Jim, you crazy man.
What you want?

You. Come down.

No. I busy.

Busy?

Busy with what?

Uh... a letter.

This is no night for letters.

This is a night for..

Well, look at it.

'Come down.'

No.

Alright, then I'll come up.

No, Jim, please.

'Jim!'

'I busy.'

Go back.

You hear those drums?
You know what that is?

Jim, please, you go now--

It's the Indian totem
festival of summer.

Oh, it's quite a sight.

You're gonna like it.
Now, let's see.

Yes.

You'll need a coat
or something. That's it.

Jim, I think you're
absolutely the craziest man.

It's a fine night but there'll
be a breeze from the lake.

- Are you ready?
- No.

No? Alright.

Jim, put me down!
I don't go nowhere!

'You hear me, Jim?
Put me down.'

Oh, pole that holds up the sky.

Less than a shadow
of an acorn am I.

Oh, pole that holds up the sky.

Smile down on your children
with your painted eye.

Jim, you crazy.

Jim, oh, Jim,
I'll lose the--

- Forget it.
- Oh, Jim.

Oh.

- We had fun tonight, eh?
- Oh, great fun, Jim.

I always have fun with you.

Then maybe you won't
forget me when I'm gone.

You go away?

Why?

You know how it is
with a trapper.

The beaver and the fox
don't come to visit me.

I'll miss you,cherie.

I'll miss you very much.

Well, then... why go away?

There are many things
a man could do here.

No, no.
Not a man like me.

I-I just can't live in towns
with people around

and houses that shut me in.
I-I can't.

I can't travel the same road,
day after day after day.

I... I need new places.

Places, uh... where I... maybe I'm
the first man who ever

drank from the stream
or walked down the trail.

That I like too.

Very much I like.

Do you like it enough
to camp with me?

You know how I feel
about you.

I love you.

Well?

Jim, I-I... I must think.

Rose Marie... do you love me?

Yes.

Then what, what is there
to think about?

I must think if
I love you enough.

Well, we... we had
a good time tonight anyway.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Jim.

'Jim.'

When you come back?

Next year
or the year after or..

Or maybe never.

You know how it is
in the wild country.

Take care of yourself, Jim.

Come back.

Promise.

Who can promise these things?

Au revoir, cherie.

Jim.

Jim.

(Ann Blyth and Fernando Lamas
singing "I Have The Love")

Why do I feel so strangely?

Never the same way twice

Now I'm hot like furnace

Now I'm cold like ice

Suddenly it hit me

Suddenly I know

I've been kissed by sunshine

And almost like April snow

I have the love

I have the feeling

Inside of me

It's warm like
the summer time

I realize

I'm not wise, I'm not smart

I only know

What I know in my heart

Now

I have the dream

I have the miracle

So bright, all
the stars grow dim

Love

She is wonderful

Love

She is beautiful

I have the love

For him

I have the love

I have the feeling

Inside of me

It's warm like
the summer time

I hear your name

And the flame seems to start

And when I bow

There's a glow in my heart

Now

I have the dream

I have the miracle

A miracle now come true

Love

She's wonderful

Love

She's beautiful

I have the love

For you

'Jim, Jim.'

What is it?

What's the matter?

Where do you make your
first camp tomorrow?

Golden Rock.

I know where that is.

Wait there until sundown.

Oh, sure, yeah.

I'll wait forever.

But this is a very big
decision for you to make.

If you come with me, it will
be for the rest of your life.

If you don't, if you want
me to go on alone..

...at least send me away
with the sound of your voice.

Sing me the song
the Indian girl sang

to her brave across
the mountains.

I'll understand
and I'll go off alone.

I warn you stay away
from white man.

Stop it! Stop it!

I gotta make my report.
Leave everything the way it is.

Don't touch anything.

Whoever did it,
we'll get 'em.

'The Indians are coming!

'The Indians!
Clear the streets.'

'The Indians are coming.'

'Get the children
off the streets.'

Shirts and skirts, it's the law.
Well, it's about time too.

Them Injun's crazy
as a cockroach

marching to town,
scaring folks to death.

'Mike.'

Marie, uh, have you
seen this before?

Sure, Mike,
when I killed a puma.

It's Jim's knife, no?

Mike, what happened?

Red Indian Chief's
been killed.

- Killed?
- Hmm. Have you seen Duval?

Jim Duval maybe angry,
but he's no killer.

He and the Chief
quarreled over some land

and Jim threatened him.
I heard that myself.

And it's Jim's knife
in the body.

Mike, what... what happen
to Jim if you find him?

He'll hang.

Mike, don't go.
Please, listen to me.

- I'll come with you.
- It's no place for a woman.

But he'll kill you.

Now, don't you worry.
I take a lot of killing.

Mike!

Where you goin'?

Jim.

Jim!

Jim!

Hello.

Hello.

'Hello.'

Hello.

Ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo

Ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo

That means I offer
my love to you

To be your own

If you refuse me

I will be blue

And waiting all alone

But if when you hear

My love call ringing clear

And I hear your
answering echo

So dear

Then I will know

Our love

Will come true

You'll belong to me

I'll belong

To you

'Stop there!'

Come on, Malone,
do something fast.

Somebody killed their
Chief last night.

- They think I did it.
- Did you?

No, I didn't.
Better talk fast.

Promise them
something, anything.

Only get me out of this.

Nice work, Malone.

Thanks.

What did you promise them?

Justice.

The Crown versus James Duval.

And I heard Duval
say to the Chief

"That's not a heart
you've got, it's granite.

I'd like to open up that tough
red skin of yours and prove it."

Have you ever seen
this knife before?

Yes.

The day Jim Duval
saved my life.

And having been found
guilty as charged.

'It is the sentence
of this court'

'that you be hanged
by the neck until dead.'

'And may the Lord
have mercy on your soul.'

Oh, I thought
it was somebody.

Guess I can't be too choosy now
about my company.

I didn't come here
to bargain.

- Just to see if--
- Sure, sure.

Some more routine, eh?

What do they want
from me now?

Just to see if there's
anything I can do for you.

You can get me
out of here.

I have nothing
to do with that.

Then we have nothing else
to talk about.

Any messages you'd
like to send?

Any letters you
want to write?

- Who to?
- Family?

- Got none.
- Friends?

- Them neither.
- No girl?

No.

No girl.

Had one, once.

Even thought
of getting married.

She changed her mind.

- No last request, then?
- Yeah.

Pass the salt.

If, uh... you should
think of anything..

I'll let you know.

What you want done
with your things?

What things?

You got my gun.
You got my knife.

My traps and clothes.

Whoever picks 'em up
can have 'em.

No.

Nothing to give
and... no one to give 'em to.

Ain't worth much, but
somebody gave it to me.

I thought it was pretty.

- Whom should I give it to?
- Who cares?

Keep it to yourself.

Leave me alone, will you?

Put this with Duval's
personal effects.

I'll be at the hotel,
if you want me.

Well, this letter from Ottawa
just came in for you.

Well..

Congratulate me, Corporal.
I can get married.

Don't tell me. Tell her.

I'm on my way.

- Marie, what's the matter?
- Don't touch me.

Don't you hear
the bell gallows?

Tomorrow you kill a man.

Marie, it's not me.
I have nothing to do with it.

I am not the judge,
I am not the jury.

- I don't make the laws.
- He had a fair trial.

Fair? Jim not kill Chief,
but you hang him.

I ask you, I beg you
not to go after him.

It's my job.

I do not care about anything.
About judge, about jury.

When you love someone,
you know about them.

In my heart I know
Jim did not do this.

I smell orange blossoms.

And do I hear the faint tingle
of wedding bells, Sarge?

Sergeant.

When is the big day
for you and Rosie?

I didn't ask her?

What's the matter?
Losing your nerve?

Now, if you need advice
aboutl'amour toujours.

- Let's skip it, Barney.
- Alright, Sergeant.

I'll check
Duval's stuff for you.

I'm not checking it.

Trying to see if I can find
something, anything..

...to give Duval a stay
of execution.

Don't you agree
with the verdict?

I do. Rose Marie doesn't.

What difference does
it make to her if..

Oh! It's Duval and Rosie.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mike.

A knife, a gun, mummy bag
and an Indian love ring.

Funny how things turned out.

Those rings are supposed to
bring good luck and long life.

Certainly didn't work
in Duval's case.

Maybe the girl that gave it
to him just stopped loving him.

Yeah.

What did you say, Barney?

She stopped loving him
and his luck ran out.

Maybe he fell in love
with somebody else.

She found out.

Hey, you can't take
Duval's ring.

- Took it out for this.
- Where are you going?

You remember Jim Duval?

He had a quarrel with
the Chief, remember?

An hour ago, I was with Jim

when they put the rope
around his neck.

And then they asked him
if he had anything to say

before he died.

And he looked at me
and he said

"Soldier go to Wanda.

"And give her this for me.

"Tell her that Jim Duval said
for her to wear it... always.

And that he loved her."

There.

He didn't want
to die, Wanda.

'Cause like he said at
the trial, he never did it.

McCorkle, step forward.

McCorkle!

Constable McCorkle.

In appreciation for your
outstanding devotion to duty

it gives me great pleasure
to present you with this.

- Another star?
- Attention!

And for your
outstanding work

in helping to solve
a serious crime

I have been authorized
to promote you to... Sergeant.

Dismissed.

Hey, congratulations.

What are you doing here?

I wait.

Didn't you know that Jim
was released this morning?

I know.

And that he left town.

I know that too.

- I wait for you.
- For me?

- But last night you said--
- You saved Jim.

You give him
back his life.

For this, I stay with you,
if you wish me to.

For this, I do whatever
you tell me from now on.

I see.

It's all up to me then?

Whatever you tell me,
Mike, I will do.

Well, then, let's
get out of here.

I wanna talk to you in private.
I will get the horses.

Uh, go upstairs
and change your dress.

You do not like me
in this one?

Sure, it's pretty.

First time I ever saw
you... in the canoe

you were wearing buckskin.
Do you remember?

I got a letter from Ottawa.
They said I can get married.

Just like you say, Mike.

But I've changed my mind.

You... don't wish to make
the marriage with me?

I love you very much.

But you weren't meant for town,
house, discipline.

Me, I don't mind standing at
attention or taking orders.

But you are happiest
when you go with the wind.

Some women need fancy hairdos
and frilly dresses

but you are not like that.

But I told you, Mike,
whatever you say I will do.

I will live in a town.
I will wear ladies clothes.

I know, I know.

When I'm calling you

Go ahead, answer.
He'll wait for you.

I will answer you
