and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Those whom God hath joined
together, let no man
put asunder.
[interposing voices]
There we are.
Hey!
[cheering]
[applause]
[engine revs]
[interposing voices]
You know what I'd like to do?
I'd like to take you away
from all these people
and spend the rest of
the day somewhere quiet.
No one else around.
Sounds perfect.
Where the hell you'd get this?
[laughs] Don't ask.
I got a bottle of champagne
for the old man later, too.
He need to.
Of all the stupid, stupid--
What's so stupid about it?
There's going to be a lot
of divorces in this man's Air
Force before the war's over.
- Huh?
Yeah.
You think he shouldn't
have married her.
You bet I do.
The way things are, she
stands a good chance of being
a widow by the end of the week.
I can't go out with
either of you tonight.
I've got to help here.
What's the matter, Rosie?
Don't you like me anymore?
[inaudible] [laughs]
You want something
to eat, Rosie?
I'll get you a sandwich.
Oh, no thank you, Hymie.
What's up with
the sling, Hymie?
I couldn't find no sugar.
You want some sugar?
I don't take sugar thank To
Sweet enough already, Hymie.
[laughs] Oh well.
I guess a knows when
he's being cut out.
Sweet Rosie agreed.
[laughs]
She left me for a
one-armed, bald turret gunner.
Shall I go kill
myself now or later?
What'd I tell you.
A really funny guy.
Yep.
I'd love a piece
of cake, Elmer.
We should have brought Letty.
[inaudible] would
have liked that.
I know.
But he wouldn't have it.
The minute he
realized, he'd made her
give her notice at the Roxy.
She's to stay indoors
til her child's born.
It's cruel, Jack.
He's a stubborn old fool.
I'd like to tell
him a thing or two.
He wouldn't listen.
Least of all, to you.
I shouldn't be talking
about him like this.
I better go and do my duty.
I'm glad you came here.
[interposing voices]
It's a proud day for you.
Yes.
First girl In the village
to marry one of them.
Won't have any more
before it's all through.
Pick a glass!
Any glass!
[interposing voices]
Ladies and gentleman!
[interposing voices]
Take it easy now.
Yeah.
Here we go.
[pops]
[cheering]
[interposing voices]
Ladies first, eh?
There we go.
Thank you.
Hey, save some
for everybody else.
Hey, come on, Mr. Blair.
[interposing voices]
- Now.
Oh.
Have you all got glasses?
No.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I'd just like to say two things,
and then I'll shut up.
[laughter]
The first is I'd like to
welcome you all to the plow
on this very happy occasion.
And second--
- Here you are, Jack.
I'd like-- Oh.
Thank you.
Here, dad.
Thank you.
And second, I'd like you
all to raise your glasses
and drink a toast with me to
my daughter and her husband.
To wish them a long and
happy life together.
And may they be able to
enjoy that life without
the interference of Mr. Hitler.
[cheering]
Ladies and gentlemen.
[music plays]
I give you Chuck and Vi.
God bless them both.
ALL: Chuck and Vi!
[music plays]
[cheering]
Sorry about the coffee.
It's all we can get.
We're of course
rather used to it now.
It's just fine.
Must be tired of the
English, always apologizing.
Not at all.
We wouldn't want you
to think that it's
what we're accustomed to.
I think we all
know how things are.
Oh, when we first arrived,
maybe we were a little brash.
But I guess that we've learned
to understand each other
better these last five months.
Oh, yes, I'm sure we have.
There's still some
people who don't like you.
Well, I'm sorry to
hear that, Miss Dereham.
Well, good heavens.
Who?
Who do you have in mind, Pat?
Oh, Albert Mundy.
Albert Mundy?
No, he's not typical.
The guy from the
post office store.
Wasn't there some
trouble over his daughter?
Oh, I don't think Albert Mundy
likes his fellow Britons very
much either.
[laughter]
Well, after today, I think
you'll get a lot of support
in the village.
BLAIR: Oh, the wedding?
Yes.
Well, I'm delighted
if you think it will
help cement good relations.
PAT: For a while, anyway.
I just hope we don't get
too many of the boys following
young Ericson's example.
It's hardly likely.
BLAIR: I'm not so sure.
You disapprove of
Americans marrying
British girls, Colonel?
No, I just don't want my
boys rushing into marriage
for the wrong reasons.
Just because they're
lonely or homesick.
Marry in haste,
repent at leisure.
BLAIR: That's right.
There's a risk
in any marriage.
BLAIR: Sure there is.
But the risk is greater
in this sort of situation.
I want to avoid a lot of
messy divorces later on.
Now that would really
create bad feeling.
What are you going
to do about it, Rufus?
You can keep our guys
from going after girls.
Yes, but you know, I don't
think it's entirely one sided.
A lot of our girls
have rather thrown
themselves at your chaps.
BLAIR: Well, I guess
that some of our boys
look pretty glamorous
to you women.
I think that's
only the uniform.
[laughs]
Well, anyway, it wasn't like
that between Vi and Chuck.
No, no.
Sure not.
Weren't you going
to the reception?
I didn't feel like it.
Look, if you'll all excuse me,
I've got rather a headache,
and I think I'll go to bed.
No, please, don't get up.
Congratulations.
BLAIR: Goodnight.
Oh, and I shouldn't worry
too much about British girls.
We're a pretty sensible
lot on the whole.
Goodnight, you two.
I hope I didn't upset your
daughter, Major Dereham.
No, no.
She's just a little
tired, that's all.
Can I interest you
in more coffee?
Oh, that's kind of you, Major.
But we better be moving along.
It's been very
pleasant, and I'd like
to thank you and your wife.
- Not at all, no.
It's been a pleasure
meeting you both again.
I'll see you out.
- Goodnight, Dr. Dereham.
- Goodnight.
Very kind of you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Goodnight.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
CHARLES: I bumped
into that woman again.
She-- she gave me a
pretty funny look.
Think that lots of Americans
bring their girlfriends here.
She probably thinks
I'm your best stuff.
My what?
It's an expression of Dad's.
Well, you'd be surprised what
suspicious minds people have.
Especially as far as
the Yanks are concerned.
Yeah, well, it's
partly our own fault.
I don't care what they think.
[music plays]
(WHISPERING) Hello, husband.
Hello, wife.
I love you.
How's the bed?
It's lovely.
I never slept in
one like that before.
We used to have a four poster.
Shall I draw the curtains?
(WHISPERING) No.
I want to look at you.
[music plays]
Wish I could give
you a real honeymoon.
Take you away someplace.
One night in a hotel
10 miles from--
I don't mind.
Oh, I love you.
When I get through my 25--
Don't.
What?
Make promises.
It's unlucky.
[music plays]
(WHISPERING) Did
you lock the door?
Oh, you think I should?
Well, what if someone came in?
Let them come.
They'll soon realize
their mistake.
[music plays]
Come on, Letty.
Cheer up, will you?
That was supposed to
be a happy ending.
I'm sorry.
I think John Payne's lovely.
Hmm.
Come on, I'll walk you home.
[sighs]
Mario?
Mm-hmm.
Do you love me a little?
Yeah, sure I do.
More than a little.
Much more.
Letty, you had any
letters from Sid lately?
He's in prison.
Yeah, I know he's in
prison, but does he write?
Not to mum.
Hmm?
Does he say anything about me?
I didn't know.
Did you go to the wedding?
Hmm.
Oh, I love weddings.
If I wear white.
Hmm?
You're not listening to me!
Sure I'm listening
to you, Letty.
There's nothing
the matter, is there?
Matter, what
should be the matter?
I got a little trouble
with the natives.
Nothing I can't handle.
Natives?
Come on.
I got to get back to the base.
MUNDY: She just left out.
I was in the shop,
couldn't stop her.
You can't keep her a
prisoner in her own house.
If you hadn't gone to
that blasted wedding,
we might have been able
to keep an eye on her.
She's a nice girl, Vi.
And I've always liked her.
Your own daughter with
child by one of them.
You chatting and laughing with
them like it was old friends.
Haven't you got any pride?
It's not the first time a
man's got a girl into trouble.
You throw that back
in my face, would you?
No.
All her life, I try to bring
that girl up to be a proper.
Conduct herself like a lady.
MRS. MUNDY: You were
too strict with her.
And with Peter.
Strict?
Suffocated them.
The wonder is not that he
went off to Jack Blair's--
Oh!
MRS. MUNDY: --but that
he ever came back.
And now he has.
It won't do any good
shouting at him.
Getting your own back.
MUNDY: What?
Are you expecting
me to say nothing?
Yes.
Well, what about Letty
going about the village
in her condition.
There'll be talk.
Well, there'll be
just as much talk
if you keep her locked up here.
And if you want to stop
Letty leaving this house,
you'd have to lock
her in her room.
Well?
Is that what you're going to do?
Is it?
Lost your tongue, have you?
- Leave off, woman.
Should never have
let him come here.
MRS. MUNDY: Who?
Who do you think?
Your brother was the
first one to bring
those Yanks into this house.
MRS. MUNDY: That's not true.
We were doing very nicely,
keeping ourselves to ourselves.
Till he came along with his
under the counter nylons
and his American buddies.
You were quite happy to
get all you could out of it
at the time.
All those little extras
for your best customers.
You didn't say no to have
been under the counter then.
Well, maybe I should have.
[scoffs] All lost
though, anyway.
Probably have the
police come calling
back here again some day.
What have I done to deserve it,
that's what I'd like to know.
Well.
Where the-- Where the--
where have you been?
Pictures.
I looked for you to ask
you before I went out.
MUNDY: I was in the front.
Enjoy the film?
Mm.
"Sun Valley
Serenade," John Payne.
Lovely.
I went with Mario.
Oh, yes.
LETTY: He was ever so nice.
MUNDY: Get to bed.
He's just walked me home.
MRS. MUNDY: Well, why
didn't you ask him in?
Oh, he Had to get
back to the base.
Bed.
All right, I'm going.
Mom?
I think it's really
serious this time.
Goodnight.
See you in the morning.
Night, dad.
[interposing voices]
[thunder]
I wish we had longer.
(WHISPERING) Yes.
I'll make it up
to you, I promise.
You're all wet.
I'm quite fine.
I love you, Vi.
I better get going.
[thunder]
I'll call you
soon as I get back.
Yes.
(WHISPERING) Bye.
[door shuts]
[music plays]
Well, we got to take
special care today.
We've got the
bridegroom on board.
Bet you never figured on
Stuttgart for your honeymoon.
I'd prefer Niagara Falls.
Hey, Skip?
SKIP: Yeah?
You got to take it
a bit easy this trip.
Don't feel so good.
You sick or something?
What?
No.
He just bet me five
bucks this one would
be scrapped because of weather.
[engine revs]
SKIP: Hey Herman?
Did you read the message
inside your chute?
"If this one don't
work, just bring it back"?
OK, right.
So what else is new?
Just don't get up my
ass out there today.
Are you kidding?
I'm back here buying
the drinks while you're
still getting half the dick.
Five will get you ten.
You got it.
Come on.
HYMIE: Hey, Mario,
you want some help?
You got to be kidding, Stutz.
HYMIE: Tell the fat guy
to lose some weight.
One of these days, he
might get stuck someplace.
Get stuck yourself, big mouth.
Whatcha doing here?
Bowling.
What do you think I'm doing?
First time my B-17's going
to take off without me.
I've got to be there
to kiss her goodbye.
Your B-17's the only thing
you'll ever get to kiss, Stutz.
[laughs]
Hey, Hilmer.
Got any message for Rosie?
I got a date with her tonight.
Yeah!
ELMER: Yeah.
Me too.
See you there.
What?
Hey!
Wait a minute!
You don't got a date
with her, Fatso!
Hey, Elmer, you really
got a date with Rosie?
I don't know.
But I sure worried Hymie.
(YELLING) I'll get you!
I'll kill you, you double lard!
You're telling me that one
of my best radio operators
has been passing PX
and quartermaster
stock to this guy
Davis, who sells them
on the black market in London?
That's right, Major.
How the hell did Bottone
get a hold of this stuff
in the first place?
We don't know, sir.
Detective Sergeant
Roberts would like
to ask him a few questions.
You've caught Davis?
Yes, sir.
The man Davis was
apprehended last month
and is a prisoner in custody at
one of His Majesty's prisons.
We found out about his
activities on the black market
when he was being questioned
about another matter.
He says Sergeant Bottone
was in it with him.
Yes.
Wow, well, I guess that
you can prove all of this?
We would like to
question Sergeant Bottone--
Sure you would,
but how do I know
this is not based on some
guy with a grudge shooting
his mouth off?
I want proof!
The two men were
often seen together.
And Bottone was a
frequent visitor
at the house in the village
where Davis was staying.
Is there a girl living there?
Yes, sir.
So maybe he was visiting her.
I have a list of items.
Four dozen cans of peaches.
That's a lot of peaches.
Exactly, sir.
Now, if I might have a
word with Sergeant Bottone?
You're a patient man?
I'd like to think so, sir.
No need to be.
And you want us 20,000 feet
up over the English Channel.
Come back this afternoon
sometime at 5, 5 o'clock.
So if you'd like
to wait some place,
I'll arrange for
you to see him then.
That's all.
[plane whirring]
It's too quiet.
I don't like it.
Chuck, any sign of them?
Can't see anything.
Maybe they've taken the day off.
Hey, Skip.
We've got company.
How many Can you count them?
Six, I think.
Here they come.
Got them.
There's more, Skip.
Another six, ten o'clock high.
[guns firing]
Six o'clock low,
Skip, coming up level.
[guns firing]
Watch out, watch out.
Four or five at a time.
[planes whirring]
[guns firing]
10 o'clock level.
10 'o clock level.
[guns firing]
[planes whirring]
Geez.
That's Herman, ain't it?
Yeah.
[plane whirring]
[inaudible] 2 o'clock high.
[guns firing]
Give me a position, will you?
Come over to the IP in 25,000.
Ten minutes to target.
OK.
[dull explosions]
OK guys, we're going in.
[plane whirs]
MAN 1: Make that five missing?
MAN 2: And two damaged.
678, 701, 784, 671.
Give me the pilot's names.
Bailey, Krotnik,
Berwash, Johnson, Kovax.
Wait a minute!
There's one more.
That Berwash.
He's got trouble with his
engines and his landing gear.
[inaudible]
MAN 1: I want a couple of
meet wagons and a fire truck.
[plane whirs]
[rumbling]
[explosion]
Oh my God.
[siren]
Hurry up!
Get him out of there!
[yelling]
[explosion]
[yelling]
(YELLING) Elmer!
Elmer!
Get him away from the plane!
Get him away!
[grunts] Any more back there?
No.
Come on, faster!
[explosion]
[siren]
Say hello to my girl
for me, will you, guys?
Beautiful girl I'm gonna marry.
Letty.
I'll tell Letty.
[groans] (WHISPERING) I got
this lone star waiting for me.
You remember.
She's got this blonde
hair and long, long legs.
[music plays]
[inaudible]
[cries]
[humming]
Chuck said he'd ring
soon as he landed.
Looks cloudy to me.
What do you think?
No, it's all right.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hey.
I'm going to really
miss you, you know,
when your husband takes
you back to America.
America.
Seems strange.
You know, sometimes
I forget that Chuck's
an American with a home and
family that I've never met.
Do you think they'll like me?
- Yeah.
VIOLET: Oh, I bet his
mother's disappointed.
No!
I bet she wanted him to
marry an American girl.
She doesn't know
a thing about me.
She answered your
letter, didn't she?
I know that.
And they've got
your photograph.
Chuck's the luckiest man in
the whole US 8th Air Force.
And I reckon he knows it, too.
Did you hear the crash?
What?
One of the
bomber's has crashed.
It's on fire.
You can see it from
the Picton Road.
I saw it come back
from the factory.
Which one, Rosie?
Which one was it?
I don't know, Vi.
I couldn't see.
There's men all around it
trying to put out the flames.
- I'm going down there.
- No, you stay here.
I'll go.
Rosie, look after your sister.
I'll be back by opening time.
(WHISPERING) Don't
let it be Chuck's plane.
Please, God, don't
let it be Chuck's.
Battle lasted
about 10 minutes.
Couldn't see much.
Heard it coming from behind.
That's when Krotnik got it.
So I'm losing altitude.
Just exploded.
The bastards didn't
stand a chance.
Mario got one.
Maybe To He was shot,
then they disappeared.
Before you reached the target?
Yeah.
All happened on the way back.
We dumped our load.
Like I said, we
couldn't see much.
Cloud cover was pretty bad.
Better break over the
target, but didn't last.
Then we headed home [inaudible].
Must have been 30 of them.
Mario got hit.
And Stevens.
[inaudible] was right on us.
Took a hit right
underneath the bomb bay,
wrecked the landing
gear, started a fire.
Didn't think we'd make it back.
So.
Where were you?
Southwest of Brussels.
Ericson, Chuck.
He went out.
Ericson?
And a couple of my gunners.
You saw them shoot something?
No, Major, I saw nothing.
Cockpit was full of smoke.
Sergeant Jones got the
fire under control.
So I figured try
and make it back.
We almost did.
The radio operator Bottone
and the ball [inaudible]
gun of Stephens were both hit.
All the rest of
the men bailed out?
Yeah.
Apart from the
navigator in tail.
Elmer.
He stuck with Mario.
I'm real sorry, Major.
Don't be a damn fool.
It's a miracle you
made it back at all.
[knocking]
Come in.
Sorry to trouble you, Colonel.
I believe your air
crews have returned.
Is that correct?
Yeah, that's right.
I wonder if I might have a
word with Sergeant Bottone.
- What the hell is--
- Take it easy, Red.
No, Mr. Roberts,
you can't have
a word with Sergeant Bottone.
Sergeant Bottone's dead.
Killed by some German
gunner while doing his best
to defend your country.
OK, Mr. Roberts?
I'm sorry it was
a wasted journey,
but we're all pretty
busy here at the moment.
So if you'd kindly
get the hell out.
Then the fuel tank exploded.
They all got out safe,
thank God, all except one.
My daughter saw
the plane on fire.
Your daughter saw it?
Oh, not Vi.
My younger daughter.
Where is--
She's upstairs.
She's taking it pretty hard.
She didn't know which one.
Sure.
You'll tell her we're
very sorry about Chuck?
I'll tell her.
Major Kiley?
Rosie, Major Kiley's
come to tell us that Chuck
bailed out over Germany.
Oh no.
Did they-- did
they all bail out?
No, the copilot
and some of the crew.
What happened to Elmer Jones?
Well, he burned his hand
trying to put out a fire,
but otherwise he's fine.
Will he go to the hospital?
He's up there now.
Mrs. Ericson, we
have some bad news.
Chuck.
It's all right.
He bailed out.
At the moment, we're
not certain what happened.
ROSIE: Oh, Vi!
I'll get her to her room.
MRS. MUNDY: What's happened?
Well, It's pretty bad, Mom.
Mario.
He's been killed.
(WHISPERING) Poor boy.
I'm sorry, Let.
Are you sure?
Jack Blair told me.
I knew they'd
lost some of them.
Did Mr. Blair say he
was sure about Mario,
or is that just what he thought?
I don't remember.
He seemed to know all about it.
- I don't believe he's dead.
- I'm afraid it's true, Letty.
- I don't believe it.
- Letty.
Where are you going?
Let Letty!
I'm going over to the base.
Going to find out.
MRS. MUNDY: You can't.
I am.
They won't let you in.
I'll make them.
I'm going to find
out about Mario.
He can't be dead.
He mustn't be dead.
[door shuts]
MR. MUNDY: Where do
you think you're going?
Letty?
Letty!
Now what's the matter with her?
I thought I told you--
It's that boy she
was going out with.
Mario.
He's been killed.
On the raid yesterday.
Oh.
Well, where's she going now?
MRS. MUNDY: She
doesn't believe it.
She's going to the base.
Get after her, Peter.
OK, Dad.
She thought he was
going to marry her.
I know.
There was never chance of it.
It was all in her head.
[plane whirs]
Hey, wait a minute!
You can't--
I want to talk to someone.
Someone in authority.
You can't just walk
in here like that.
Now, what exactly did
you want, little lady?
It's the raid yesterday.
They're saying in the village
that Mario's been killed.
Is it true?
Mario?
Mario who?
Sergeant Mario Bottone.
I can't give you that
information, sorry.
But I have to.
Know Who will tell me, please?
You're not related
to Sergeant Bottone?
No.
[sighs] I can't
help you, honey.
I'm sorry.
If you call the colonel's
office, I guess maybe--
Wait here.
I'm sorry, miss.
Mundy.
Well now, Miss Mundy,
what can I do for you?
Is it true?
Mario Bottone's been killed?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
He was a friend of yours?
(WHISPERS) Yes.
[music plays]
I'm very sorry, Miss Mundy.
Would you like me to take
you back to the village?
No.
Thank you, I'm all right.
Why don't you sit
down for a while?
Letty.
Come on.
[music plays]
Oh, Peter.
He's dead.
It's true.
Come on, Let.
I'll take you home.
[music plays]
Dropped by to
see some of my men.
Sergeant Jones?
Jones is one.
I head about the mission.
It's very bad.
Not so good.
You all right?
OK.
Wasn't much fun
the other evening.
No.
Well, at least
we won't have to go
through that sort of thing.
- I had to see you.
Jim.
I know I promised to
stay away, but I can't.
Just one evening.
We'll go someplace
where you're not known.
[sighs] It's not--
I don't care about that.
I just want to be with you.
Where we won't be
interrupted all the time.
All right.
Tomorrow?
I'll be through here at 7.
I'll pick you up.
OK.
OK.
[birds chirping]
[wind blowing]
I always figured
you and I'd make it.
Almost.
Damn.
Almost did.
15.
15 missions.
Now I guess it
wasn't your fault.
(SINGING) You are my
sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd have
wanted me to come.
Did you hear about Hymie?
No.
Plane was shot down.
Oh, you mean he's--
No.
No.
Wasn't flying.
The rest of his crew--
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't like him as
much as you, honestly.
That a fact?
How's the hand?
OK.
Captain Berwash was
in the bar last night.
Was he drunk?
No.
I bet he was.
Rigging up that old plane.
I guess we all did.
Well they give you
another one, won't they?
Yeah.
But it ain't the same.
Don't you like me anymore?
Sure, I like you, Rosie.
You're a real pretty girl.
Shall I come
and see you again?
If you want to.
Shouldn't be here too long.
Well, I could come
tomorrow if you'd like me to.
OK.
Well, I'll see
you tomorrow then.
Goodbye.
Bye, Rosie.
Hi, Rosie.
Hello, Hymie.
I was really sorry to hear
about Lieutenant Krotnik.
Yeah.
You told her then about
Herman and the guys?
Whatcha doing here, Hymie?
I came to see you, dummy.
Make sure they're
treating you right.
Thanks.
It's nearly 9 o'clock.
I'd better do the blackout.
Righto.
Nights are drawing in already.
Yes.
You know, I was just
wondering whether we
should turn the top fuel
over the crops next year.
What would you
do with the sheep?
Yes, that would be a problem.
But if I could get Armitage
to rent me one of his fields--
How's Vi?
Any news?
No, she's still
staying in her room.
Doesn't want to see anyone.
- Oh, poor girl.
Must have been a
terrible shock for her.
I do hope she doesn't give up.
We need her here.
PAT: I can manage.
It's too much for
you on your own.
Don't be silly, Daddy.
Look, do you want to wait until
mother gets back, or shall
we have supper now?
Is it ready?
Shepherd's pie.
We can keep it hot.
I expect she'll be late.
Pretty busy at the
hospital these days.
Yes, she rang earlier
and said she might be late.
Oh, did she?
Well, in that case,
we'd better hang on.
All right.
I'll tell Lenny.
- Pat?
- Yes?
You don't think you've
been overworking, do you?
No.
Why?
Nothing.
I just thought you looked
a little tired, that's all.
Now I don't want you
to make yourself ill.
I'm perfectly
all right, Daddy.
All right.
Well, don't overdo things,
there's a good girl.
No, I won't.
Too fast?
I like it.
It's not far now.
Where are we going?
I don't remember the name.
It's a little pub
with a thatched roof.
I guess you'll know it.
Doesn't matter, anyway.
[clock ticking]
[music plays]
I, Violet Mary--
REVEREND: Take thee,
Charles Edward--
Take thee, Charles Edward--
To my wedded husband.
To my wedded husband.
To have and to hold
from this day forward.
To have To have That to
hold from this day forward.
REVEREND: For
better, for worse--
VIOLET: For better, for worse--
REVEREND: --for
richer, for poorer.
--for richer, for poorer.
REVEREND: With this
ring, I thee wed.
With this ring, I thee wed.
REVEREND: With my
body, I thee worship.
CHARLES: With my
body, I thee worship.
REVEREND: And with all my
worldly goods, I thee endow.
And with all my worldly
goods, I thee endow.
REVEREND: In the name of
the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost.
Amen.
Those whom God hath joined
together, let no man
put asunder.
[interposing voices]
There we are.
Hey!
[cheering]
[applause]
[engine revs]
[interposing voices]
You know what I'd like to do?
I'd like to take you away
from all these people
and spend the rest of
the day somewhere quiet.
No one else around.
Sounds perfect.
Where the hell you'd get this?
[laughs] Don't ask.
I got a bottle of champagne
for the old man later, too.
He need to.
Of all the stupid, stupid--
What's so stupid about it?
There's going to be a lot
of divorces in this man's Air
Force before the war's over.
- Huh?
Yeah.
You think he shouldn't
have married her.
You bet I do.
The way things are, she
stands a good chance of being
a widow by the end of the week.
I can't go out with
either of you tonight.
I've got to help here.
What's the matter, Rosie?
Don't you like me anymore?
[inaudible] [laughs]
You want something
to eat, Rosie?
I'll get you a sandwich.
Oh, no thank you, Hymie.
What's up with
the sling, Hymie?
I couldn't find no sugar.
You want some sugar?
I don't take sugar thank To
Sweet enough already, Hymie.
[laughs] Oh well.
I guess a knows when
he's being cut out.
Sweet Rosie agreed.
[laughs]
She left me for a
one-armed, bald turret gunner.
Shall I go kill
myself now or later?
What'd I tell you.
A really funny guy.
Yep.
I'd love a piece
of cake, Elmer.
We should have brought Letty.
[inaudible] would
have liked that.
I know.
But he wouldn't have it.
The minute he
realized, he'd made her
give her notice at the Roxy.
She's to stay indoors
til her child's born.
It's cruel, Jack.
He's a stubborn old fool.
I'd like to tell
him a thing or two.
He wouldn't listen.
Least of all, to you.
I shouldn't be talking
about him like this.
I better go and do my duty.
I'm glad you came here.
[interposing voices]
It's a proud day for you.
Yes.
First girl In the village
to marry one of them.
Won't have any more
before it's all through.
Pick a glass!
Any glass!
[interposing voices]
Ladies and gentleman!
[interposing voices]
Take it easy now.
Yeah.
Here we go.
[pops]
[cheering]
[interposing voices]
Ladies first, eh?
There we go.
Thank you.
Hey, save some
for everybody else.
Hey, come on, Mr. Blair.
[interposing voices]
- Now.
Oh.
Have you all got glasses?
No.
Now, ladies and gentlemen,
I'd just like to say two things,
and then I'll shut up.
[laughter]
The first is I'd like to
welcome you all to the plow
on this very happy occasion.
And second--
- Here you are, Jack.
I'd like-- Oh.
Thank you.
Here, dad.
Thank you.
And second, I'd like you
all to raise your glasses
and drink a toast with me to
my daughter and her husband.
To wish them a long and
happy life together.
And may they be able to
enjoy that life without
the interference of Mr. Hitler.
[cheering]
Ladies and gentlemen.
[music plays]
I give you Chuck and Vi.
God bless them both.
ALL: Chuck and Vi!
[music plays]
[cheering]
Sorry about the coffee.
It's all we can get.
We're of course
rather used to it now.
It's just fine.
Must be tired of the
English, always apologizing.
Not at all.
We wouldn't want you
to think that it's
what we're accustomed to.
I think we all
know how things are.
Oh, when we first arrived,
maybe we were a little brash.
But I guess that we've learned
to understand each other
better these last five months.
Oh, yes, I'm sure we have.
There's still some
people who don't like you.
Well, I'm sorry to
hear that, Miss Dereham.
Well, good heavens.
Who?
Who do you have in mind, Pat?
Oh, Albert Mundy.
Albert Mundy?
No, he's not typical.
The guy from the
post office store.
Wasn't there some
trouble over his daughter?
Oh, I don't think Albert Mundy
likes his fellow Britons very
much either.
[laughter]
Well, after today, I think
you'll get a lot of support
in the village.
BLAIR: Oh, the wedding?
Yes.
Well, I'm delighted
if you think it will
help cement good relations.
PAT: For a while, anyway.
I just hope we don't get
too many of the boys following
young Ericson's example.
It's hardly likely.
BLAIR: I'm not so sure.
You disapprove of
Americans marrying
British girls, Colonel?
No, I just don't want my
boys rushing into marriage
for the wrong reasons.
Just because they're
lonely or homesick.
Marry in haste,
repent at leisure.
BLAIR: That's right.
There's a risk
in any marriage.
BLAIR: Sure there is.
But the risk is greater
in this sort of situation.
I want to avoid a lot of
messy divorces later on.
Now that would really
create bad feeling.
What are you going
to do about it, Rufus?
You can keep our guys
from going after girls.
Yes, but you know, I don't
think it's entirely one sided.
A lot of our girls
have rather thrown
themselves at your chaps.
BLAIR: Well, I guess
that some of our boys
look pretty glamorous
to you women.
I think that's
only the uniform.
[laughs]
Well, anyway, it wasn't like
that between Vi and Chuck.
No, no.
Sure not.
Weren't you going
to the reception?
I didn't feel like it.
Look, if you'll all excuse me,
I've got rather a headache,
and I think I'll go to bed.
No, please, don't get up.
Congratulations.
BLAIR: Goodnight.
Oh, and I shouldn't worry
too much about British girls.
We're a pretty sensible
lot on the whole.
Goodnight, you two.
I hope I didn't upset your
daughter, Major Dereham.
No, no.
She's just a little
tired, that's all.
Can I interest you
in more coffee?
Oh, that's kind of you, Major.
But we better be moving along.
It's been very
pleasant, and I'd like
to thank you and your wife.
- Not at all, no.
It's been a pleasure
meeting you both again.
I'll see you out.
- Goodnight, Dr. Dereham.
- Goodnight.
Very kind of you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Goodnight.
Thanks.
Goodnight.
CHARLES: I bumped
into that woman again.
She-- she gave me a
pretty funny look.
Think that lots of Americans
bring their girlfriends here.
She probably thinks
I'm your best stuff.
My what?
It's an expression of Dad's.
Well, you'd be surprised what
suspicious minds people have.
Especially as far as
the Yanks are concerned.
Yeah, well, it's
partly our own fault.
I don't care what they think.
[music plays]
(WHISPERING) Hello, husband.
Hello, wife.
I love you.
How's the bed?
It's lovely.
I never slept in
one like that before.
We used to have a four poster.
Shall I draw the curtains?
(WHISPERING) No.
I want to look at you.
[music plays]
Wish I could give
you a real honeymoon.
Take you away someplace.
One night in a hotel
10 miles from--
I don't mind.
Oh, I love you.
When I get through my 25--
Don't.
What?
Make promises.
It's unlucky.
[music plays]
(WHISPERING) Did
you lock the door?
Oh, you think I should?
Well, what if someone came in?
Let them come.
They'll soon realize
their mistake.
[music plays]
Come on, Letty.
Cheer up, will you?
That was supposed to
be a happy ending.
I'm sorry.
I think John Payne's lovely.
Hmm.
Come on, I'll walk you home.
[sighs]
Mario?
Mm-hmm.
Do you love me a little?
Yeah, sure I do.
More than a little.
Much more.
Letty, you had any
letters from Sid lately?
He's in prison.
Yeah, I know he's in
prison, but does he write?
Not to mum.
Hmm?
Does he say anything about me?
I didn't know.
Did you go to the wedding?
Hmm.
Oh, I love weddings.
If I wear white.
Hmm?
You're not listening to me!
Sure I'm listening
to you, Letty.
There's nothing
the matter, is there?
Matter, what
should be the matter?
I got a little trouble
with the natives.
Nothing I can't handle.
Natives?
Come on.
I got to get back to the base.
MUNDY: She just left out.
I was in the shop,
couldn't stop her.
You can't keep her a
prisoner in her own house.
If you hadn't gone to
that blasted wedding,
we might have been able
to keep an eye on her.
She's a nice girl, Vi.
And I've always liked her.
Your own daughter with
child by one of them.
You chatting and laughing with
them like it was old friends.
Haven't you got any pride?
It's not the first time a
man's got a girl into trouble.
You throw that back
in my face, would you?
No.
All her life, I try to bring
that girl up to be a proper.
Conduct herself like a lady.
MRS. MUNDY: You were
too strict with her.
And with Peter.
Strict?
Suffocated them.
The wonder is not that he
went off to Jack Blair's--
Oh!
MRS. MUNDY: --but that
he ever came back.
And now he has.
It won't do any good
shouting at him.
Getting your own back.
MUNDY: What?
Are you expecting
me to say nothing?
Yes.
Well, what about Letty
going about the village
in her condition.
There'll be talk.
Well, there'll be
just as much talk
if you keep her locked up here.
And if you want to stop
Letty leaving this house,
you'd have to lock
her in her room.
Well?
Is that what you're going to do?
Is it?
Lost your tongue, have you?
- Leave off, woman.
Should never have
let him come here.
MRS. MUNDY: Who?
Who do you think?
Your brother was the
first one to bring
those Yanks into this house.
MRS. MUNDY: That's not true.
We were doing very nicely,
keeping ourselves to ourselves.
Till he came along with his
under the counter nylons
and his American buddies.
You were quite happy to
get all you could out of it
at the time.
All those little extras
for your best customers.
You didn't say no to have
been under the counter then.
Well, maybe I should have.
[scoffs] All lost
though, anyway.
Probably have the
police come calling
back here again some day.
What have I done to deserve it,
that's what I'd like to know.
Well.
Where the-- Where the--
where have you been?
Pictures.
I looked for you to ask
you before I went out.
MUNDY: I was in the front.
Enjoy the film?
Mm.
"Sun Valley
Serenade," John Payne.
Lovely.
I went with Mario.
Oh, yes.
LETTY: He was ever so nice.
MUNDY: Get to bed.
He's just walked me home.
MRS. MUNDY: Well, why
didn't you ask him in?
Oh, he Had to get
back to the base.
Bed.
All right, I'm going.
Mom?
I think it's really
serious this time.
Goodnight.
See you in the morning.
Night, dad.
[interposing voices]
[thunder]
I wish we had longer.
(WHISPERING) Yes.
I'll make it up
to you, I promise.
You're all wet.
I'm quite fine.
I love you, Vi.
I better get going.
[thunder]
I'll call you
soon as I get back.
Yes.
(WHISPERING) Bye.
[door shuts]
[music plays]
Well, we got to take
special care today.
We've got the
bridegroom on board.
Bet you never figured on
Stuttgart for your honeymoon.
I'd prefer Niagara Falls.
Hey, Skip?
SKIP: Yeah?
You got to take it
a bit easy this trip.
Don't feel so good.
You sick or something?
What?
No.
He just bet me five
bucks this one would
be scrapped because of weather.
[engine revs]
SKIP: Hey Herman?
Did you read the message
inside your chute?
"If this one don't
work, just bring it back"?
OK, right.
So what else is new?
Just don't get up my
ass out there today.
Are you kidding?
I'm back here buying
the drinks while you're
still getting half the dick.
Five will get you ten.
You got it.
Come on.
HYMIE: Hey, Mario,
you want some help?
You got to be kidding, Stutz.
HYMIE: Tell the fat guy
to lose some weight.
One of these days, he
might get stuck someplace.
Get stuck yourself, big mouth.
Whatcha doing here?
Bowling.
What do you think I'm doing?
First time my B-17's going
to take off without me.
I've got to be there
to kiss her goodbye.
Your B-17's the only thing
you'll ever get to kiss, Stutz.
[laughs]
Hey, Hilmer.
Got any message for Rosie?
I got a date with her tonight.
Yeah!
ELMER: Yeah.
Me too.
See you there.
What?
Hey!
Wait a minute!
You don't got a date
with her, Fatso!
Hey, Elmer, you really
got a date with Rosie?
I don't know.
But I sure worried Hymie.
(YELLING) I'll get you!
I'll kill you, you double lard!
You're telling me that one
of my best radio operators
has been passing PX
and quartermaster
stock to this guy
Davis, who sells them
on the black market in London?
That's right, Major.
How the hell did Bottone
get a hold of this stuff
in the first place?
We don't know, sir.
Detective Sergeant
Roberts would like
to ask him a few questions.
You've caught Davis?
Yes, sir.
The man Davis was
apprehended last month
and is a prisoner in custody at
one of His Majesty's prisons.
We found out about his
activities on the black market
when he was being questioned
about another matter.
He says Sergeant Bottone
was in it with him.
Yes.
Wow, well, I guess that
you can prove all of this?
We would like to
question Sergeant Bottone--
Sure you would,
but how do I know
this is not based on some
guy with a grudge shooting
his mouth off?
I want proof!
The two men were
often seen together.
And Bottone was a
frequent visitor
at the house in the village
where Davis was staying.
Is there a girl living there?
Yes, sir.
So maybe he was visiting her.
I have a list of items.
Four dozen cans of peaches.
That's a lot of peaches.
Exactly, sir.
Now, if I might have a
word with Sergeant Bottone?
You're a patient man?
I'd like to think so, sir.
No need to be.
And you want us 20,000 feet
up over the English Channel.
Come back this afternoon
sometime at 5, 5 o'clock.
So if you'd like
to wait some place,
I'll arrange for
you to see him then.
That's all.
[plane whirring]
It's too quiet.
I don't like it.
Chuck, any sign of them?
Can't see anything.
Maybe they've taken the day off.
Hey, Skip.
We've got company.
How many Can you count them?
Six, I think.
Here they come.
Got them.
There's more, Skip.
Another six, ten o'clock high.
[guns firing]
Six o'clock low,
Skip, coming up level.
[guns firing]
Watch out, watch out.
Four or five at a time.
[planes whirring]
[guns firing]
10 o'clock level.
10 'o clock level.
[guns firing]
[planes whirring]
Geez.
That's Herman, ain't it?
Yeah.
[plane whirring]
[inaudible] 2 o'clock high.
[guns firing]
Give me a position, will you?
Come over to the IP in 25,000.
Ten minutes to target.
OK.
[dull explosions]
OK guys, we're going in.
[plane whirs]
MAN 1: Make that five missing?
MAN 2: And two damaged.
678, 701, 784, 671.
Give me the pilot's names.
Bailey, Krotnik,
Berwash, Johnson, Kovax.
Wait a minute!
There's one more.
That Berwash.
He's got trouble with his
engines and his landing gear.
[inaudible]
MAN 1: I want a couple of
meet wagons and a fire truck.
[plane whirs]
[rumbling]
[explosion]
Oh my God.
[siren]
Hurry up!
Get him out of there!
[yelling]
[explosion]
[yelling]
(YELLING) Elmer!
Elmer!
Get him away from the plane!
Get him away!
[grunts] Any more back there?
No.
Come on, faster!
[explosion]
[siren]
Say hello to my girl
for me, will you, guys?
Beautiful girl I'm gonna marry.
Letty.
I'll tell Letty.
[groans] (WHISPERING) I got
this lone star waiting for me.
You remember.
She's got this blonde
hair and long, long legs.
[music plays]
[inaudible]
[cries]
[humming]
Chuck said he'd ring
soon as he landed.
Looks cloudy to me.
What do you think?
No, it's all right.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Hey.
I'm going to really
miss you, you know,
when your husband takes
you back to America.
America.
Seems strange.
You know, sometimes
I forget that Chuck's
an American with a home and
family that I've never met.
Do you think they'll like me?
- Yeah.
VIOLET: Oh, I bet his
mother's disappointed.
No!
I bet she wanted him to
marry an American girl.
She doesn't know
a thing about me.
She answered your
letter, didn't she?
I know that.
And they've got
your photograph.
Chuck's the luckiest man in
the whole US 8th Air Force.
And I reckon he knows it, too.
Did you hear the crash?
What?
One of the
bomber's has crashed.
It's on fire.
You can see it from
the Picton Road.
I saw it come back
from the factory.
Which one, Rosie?
Which one was it?
I don't know, Vi.
I couldn't see.
There's men all around it
trying to put out the flames.
- I'm going down there.
- No, you stay here.
I'll go.
Rosie, look after your sister.
I'll be back by opening time.
(WHISPERING) Don't
let it be Chuck's plane.
Please, God, don't
let it be Chuck's.
Battle lasted
about 10 minutes.
Couldn't see much.
Heard it coming from behind.
That's when Krotnik got it.
So I'm losing altitude.
Just exploded.
The bastards didn't
stand a chance.
Mario got one.
Maybe To He was shot,
then they disappeared.
Before you reached the target?
Yeah.
All happened on the way back.
We dumped our load.
Like I said, we
couldn't see much.
Cloud cover was pretty bad.
Better break over the
target, but didn't last.
Then we headed home [inaudible].
Must have been 30 of them.
Mario got hit.
And Stevens.
[inaudible] was right on us.
Took a hit right
underneath the bomb bay,
wrecked the landing
gear, started a fire.
Didn't think we'd make it back.
So.
Where were you?
Southwest of Brussels.
Ericson, Chuck.
He went out.
Ericson?
And a couple of my gunners.
You saw them shoot something?
No, Major, I saw nothing.
Cockpit was full of smoke.
Sergeant Jones got the
fire under control.
So I figured try
and make it back.
We almost did.
The radio operator Bottone
and the ball [inaudible]
gun of Stephens were both hit.
All the rest of
the men bailed out?
Yeah.
Apart from the
navigator in tail.
Elmer.
He stuck with Mario.
I'm real sorry, Major.
Don't be a damn fool.
It's a miracle you
made it back at all.
[knocking]
Come in.
Sorry to trouble you, Colonel.
I believe your air
crews have returned.
Is that correct?
Yeah, that's right.
I wonder if I might have a
word with Sergeant Bottone.
- What the hell is--
- Take it easy, Red.
No, Mr. Roberts,
you can't have
a word with Sergeant Bottone.
Sergeant Bottone's dead.
Killed by some German
gunner while doing his best
to defend your country.
OK, Mr. Roberts?
I'm sorry it was
a wasted journey,
but we're all pretty
busy here at the moment.
So if you'd kindly
get the hell out.
Then the fuel tank exploded.
They all got out safe,
thank God, all except one.
My daughter saw
the plane on fire.
Your daughter saw it?
Oh, not Vi.
My younger daughter.
Where is--
She's upstairs.
She's taking it pretty hard.
She didn't know which one.
Sure.
You'll tell her we're
very sorry about Chuck?
I'll tell her.
Major Kiley?
Rosie, Major Kiley's
come to tell us that Chuck
bailed out over Germany.
Oh no.
Did they-- did
they all bail out?
No, the copilot
and some of the crew.
What happened to Elmer Jones?
Well, he burned his hand
trying to put out a fire,
but otherwise he's fine.
Will he go to the hospital?
He's up there now.
Mrs. Ericson, we
have some bad news.
Chuck.
It's all right.
He bailed out.
At the moment, we're
not certain what happened.
ROSIE: Oh, Vi!
I'll get her to her room.
MRS. MUNDY: What's happened?
Well, It's pretty bad, Mom.
Mario.
He's been killed.
(WHISPERING) Poor boy.
I'm sorry, Let.
Are you sure?
Jack Blair told me.
I knew they'd
lost some of them.
Did Mr. Blair say he
was sure about Mario,
or is that just what he thought?
I don't remember.
He seemed to know all about it.
- I don't believe he's dead.
- I'm afraid it's true, Letty.
- I don't believe it.
- Letty.
Where are you going?
Let Letty!
I'm going over to the base.
Going to find out.
MRS. MUNDY: You can't.
I am.
They won't let you in.
I'll make them.
I'm going to find
out about Mario.
He can't be dead.
He mustn't be dead.
[door shuts]
MR. MUNDY: Where do
you think you're going?
Letty?
Letty!
Now what's the matter with her?
I thought I told you--
It's that boy she
was going out with.
Mario.
He's been killed.
On the raid yesterday.
Oh.
Well, where's she going now?
MRS. MUNDY: She
doesn't believe it.
She's going to the base.
Get after her, Peter.
OK, Dad.
She thought he was
going to marry her.
I know.
There was never chance of it.
It was all in her head.
[plane whirs]
Hey, wait a minute!
You can't--
I want to talk to someone.
Someone in authority.
You can't just walk
in here like that.
Now, what exactly did
you want, little lady?
It's the raid yesterday.
They're saying in the village
that Mario's been killed.
Is it true?
Mario?
Mario who?
Sergeant Mario Bottone.
I can't give you that
information, sorry.
But I have to.
Know Who will tell me, please?
You're not related
to Sergeant Bottone?
No.
[sighs] I can't
help you, honey.
I'm sorry.
If you call the colonel's
office, I guess maybe--
Wait here.
I'm sorry, miss.
Mundy.
Well now, Miss Mundy,
what can I do for you?
Is it true?
Mario Bottone's been killed?
Yes.
Yes, it is.
He was a friend of yours?
(WHISPERS) Yes.
[music plays]
I'm very sorry, Miss Mundy.
Would you like me to take
you back to the village?
No.
Thank you, I'm all right.
Why don't you sit
down for a while?
Letty.
Come on.
[music plays]
Oh, Peter.
He's dead.
It's true.
Come on, Let.
I'll take you home.
[music plays]
Dropped by to
see some of my men.
Sergeant Jones?
Jones is one.
I head about the mission.
It's very bad.
Not so good.
You all right?
OK.
Wasn't much fun
the other evening.
No.
Well, at least
we won't have to go
through that sort of thing.
- I had to see you.
Jim.
I know I promised to
stay away, but I can't.
Just one evening.
We'll go someplace
where you're not known.
[sighs] It's not--
I don't care about that.
I just want to be with you.
Where we won't be
interrupted all the time.
All right.
Tomorrow?
I'll be through here at 7.
I'll pick you up.
OK.
OK.
[birds chirping]
[wind blowing]
I always figured
you and I'd make it.
Almost.
Damn.
Almost did.
15.
15 missions.
Now I guess it
wasn't your fault.
(SINGING) You are my
sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are gray.
You'll never know, dear,
how much I love you.
I'm sorry.
I thought you'd have
wanted me to come.
Did you hear about Hymie?
No.
Plane was shot down.
Oh, you mean he's--
No.
No.
Wasn't flying.
The rest of his crew--
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't like him as
much as you, honestly.
That a fact?
How's the hand?
OK.
Captain Berwash was
in the bar last night.
Was he drunk?
No.
I bet he was.
Rigging up that old plane.
I guess we all did.
Well they give you
another one, won't they?
Yeah.
But it ain't the same.
Don't you like me anymore?
Sure, I like you, Rosie.
You're a real pretty girl.
Shall I come
and see you again?
If you want to.
Shouldn't be here too long.
Well, I could come
tomorrow if you'd like me to.
OK.
Well, I'll see
you tomorrow then.
Goodbye.
Bye, Rosie.
Hi, Rosie.
Hello, Hymie.
I was really sorry to hear
about Lieutenant Krotnik.
Yeah.
You told her then about
Herman and the guys?
Whatcha doing here, Hymie?
I came to see you, dummy.
Make sure they're
treating you right.
Thanks.
It's nearly 9 o'clock.
I'd better do the blackout.
Righto.
Nights are drawing in already.
Yes.
You know, I was just
wondering whether we
should turn the top fuel
over the crops next year.
What would you
do with the sheep?
Yes, that would be a problem.
But if I could get Armitage
to rent me one of his fields--
How's Vi?
Any news?
No, she's still
staying in her room.
Doesn't want to see anyone.
- Oh, poor girl.
Must have been a
terrible shock for her.
I do hope she doesn't give up.
We need her here.
PAT: I can manage.
It's too much for
you on your own.
Don't be silly, Daddy.
Look, do you want to wait until
mother gets back, or shall
we have supper now?
Is it ready?
Shepherd's pie.
We can keep it hot.
I expect she'll be late.
Pretty busy at the
hospital these days.
Yes, she rang earlier
and said she might be late.
Oh, did she?
Well, in that case,
we'd better hang on.
All right.
I'll tell Lenny.
- Pat?
- Yes?
You don't think you've
been overworking, do you?
No.
Why?
Nothing.
I just thought you looked
a little tired, that's all.
Now I don't want you
to make yourself ill.
I'm perfectly
all right, Daddy.
All right.
Well, don't overdo things,
there's a good girl.
No, I won't.
Too fast?
I like it.
It's not far now.
Where are we going?
I don't remember the name.
It's a little pub
with a thatched roof.
I guess you'll know it.
Doesn't matter, anyway.
