The Seventh Day (1922) - full transcript
A group of New York society folk on a yachting excursion are forced to put into a New England fishing village for repairs. The engaged couple Reggie and Patricia are taken with the quaint town and its quainter ways, but also with two locals, Betty Alden and her brother John. Patricia begins to fall for John while her fiancé takes a seemingly unworthy liking to Betty. The new infatuations lead to disharmony.
The Seventh Day
A drama in five parts
The Radio Club, was the centre for
those with enough time and money
and the happiness they bought in vain.
Billie Blair, a spoiled
child wrapped in luxury.
Today is Monty's birthday.
Monty Bellman,
the Antony to her Cleopatra.
Patricia Vane, a young woman
who believes in the goodness
of everything pure and simple.
Reggie Van Zandt, the young man she
had chosen for her fianc? and who had
his father to thank for his fortune.
Dad gave me this...
Mom this other one...
And my fraternity
brothers sent me this.
I realise you don't like it, Sir,
but what with prohibition...
They won't even let us
drink our own liquor.
My father's yacht is ready.
We'll have some fun on deck.
Dick and Lucia haven't spoken this week.
They could be our chaperones.
See you at the Yacht Club
in half an hour.
This will be fun!
Captain, Jim Alden.
John Alden, a popular young man.
Picturesque nooks, where people live
their lives, happy and sad, not giving
a care about worldly sensations.
Work is a pleasure,
when it is motivated by love.
Betty Alden, had not yet tasted life,
except love and happiness that she
saw in all that was beautiful and pure.
Donald Peabody, who, from
time to time, worked, but his
real occupation was gossip.
Katinka, the young woman who longs
for the day when her Romeo arrives.
Ned Alden,
John's other uncle.
The sea plays very hard games
with inexperienced players.
Would you like a cocktail?
Go away!
Can't you see I'm dying?
End of the Part One.
Part Two.
Uncle Ned and I will stay on land.
The next time the schooner sets sail,
you will be the captain.
Men do not start by looking
for happiness in hard work,
but that is where they find it.
Even in the best ships the
engines can fail, making any
harbour a welcome sanctuary.
How beautiful she is!
She is!
The devil himself
has brought us here.
It was the captain!
If you mention the yacht again...
I could be sent to jail for murder!
Boy!
Where's a hotel?
There is no hotel here.
Nor is there any railroad.
So, what do you have around here?
Nothing!
Oh, let's get
out of this hole!
Inactivity is ideal for idle people,
but when it becomes a necessity,
it is worse than hard work.
Captain, have us get out
of here as soon as possible!
It will take at least a week
to repair the engines.
What about training for the next match?
Let's go ashore to practice!
Excuse me, what are
these strings for?
She doesn't even know
what a fishing net is!
It started in Paradise and
Eve's daughters also liked it.
Adam was not so lucky.
He only had one Eve.
Some games are attractive,
even if the rules are not understood.
Look what Patricia found!
I guess you don't
know the shimmy?
No, but I dance a little.
What happens now?
Shall we dance?
Surprise! He dances on
his own feet, not on hers!
I like this!
Me too.
Life is wonderful when one is young
and lives in the castle of one's dreams.
There are still people who go to church
on Sunday and find peace doing so.
Fire? No, it's
the church bell.
I need to buy something.
Come with me, Reggie!
My hat isn't like the ones
worn by the ladies on the ship.
What's wrong with the warehouse?
Everything is closed on Sunday!
Do you want to come to church?
The result of bad education.
Come on, Reggie.
I'll try something different.
Stand up and sing.
Patricia has gone to church.
A trip that could last forever.
He's coming for me this afternoon.
A young man whose biggest problem
is having so much freedom.
A boat can become
a blessed place.
You are jealous!
Have you come
for the dirty laundry?
No, I'd like to talk
to the young lady.
Which one of them?
I don't know her name.
Here we are.
Who do you want?
An old story, but
always the most beautiful.
Men think that love at first sight is
silly, but only once they go past sixty.
I didn't know that someone
like you would come along...
It is impossible. I'm
engaged to Reggie van Zandt!
How was the fishing?
Don't you make fun of him! It's your fault!
I hate you, I hate you all!
You should stay away from that city folk
and pay more attention to Betty.
I could tell you things you'd be amazed.
I would have married your sister
but I don't want anyone who...
Be my lucky lady.
Roll the dice for me.
We won!
Let's go home, Betty.
We shouldn't be here!
He is engaged to Miss Vine.
She told me so herself.
Would you mind if we
broke off our engagement?
He told me he loved me.
I'll teach him to
lead you astray with his lies!
John, please...!
I know what you think, I'm no good.
But I want to explain everything to you.
Patricia and I didn't know any better.
But now... it's all over!
You're still very young. If your feelings
have not changed in six months
I will not object.
I would wait ten years.
This time it's for real.
I've always loved you, Katinka!
We're leaving as soon as
Mr. Pell returns.
Even if I have to
drag him aboard!
I envy you, John. Working on
the sea is hard, but it is even
harder to say goodbye to it.
I'm going ashore!
Captain, would you please
tell John that I...?
Here he comes.
Tell him yourself.
