This minor 1955 work by Alfred Hitchcock, one of the lighter entries of his creative peak in the 1950s, is still imbued with the master's stock themes of shared guilt and romantic ambivalence. It is also hardly lacking in Hitchcockian cinematic inve… more »



Danielle:
Don't you think it's foolish to remain here without knowing what will happen to you? But if you were in South America with me, you will know exactly what will happen.

Robie:
You make it sound dangerous either way.

Danielle:
It would be so much nicer to be killed by love, no?

Robie:
Uh, pardon me while I get the water out of my ear.

Danielle:
John, you know what sort of men they are at Bertani's. Another robbery and they will do something to you.

Robie:
Well, I'd better get back.

Danielle:
[about Francie] But what has she got more than me? Except money, and you are getting plenty of that.

Robie:
Danielle, you are just a girl. She is a woman.

Danielle:
Why do you want to buy an old car if you can get a new one cheaper? It will run better and last longer.

Robie:
Well, it looks as if my old car just drove off.

Francie:
[swimming up] No, it hasn't, it's just turned amphibious. I thought I'd come out and see what the big attraction was.

Robie:
Yes.

Francie:
And possibly even rate an introduction.

Robie:
[to Danielle] Oh, uh, you didn't tell me your name.

Danielle:
Danielle Foussard.

Robie:
Miss Foussard - Miss Stevens.

Francie:
How do you do, Miss Foussard. Mr. Burns has told me so little about you.

Robie:
Well, we only met a couple of minutes ago.

Danielle:
That's right, only a few minutes ago.

Francie:
Only a few minutes ago? And you talk like old friends.

Danielle:
Ah well, that's warm, friendly France for you.

Robie:
[to Francie] I was asking about renting some water-skis. Would you like me to teach you how to water ski?

Francie:
Thank you, but I was women's champion at Sarasota, Florida, last season.

Robie:
Well, it was just an idea.

Francie:
Are you sure you were talking about water-skis? From where I sat, it looked as though you were conjugating some irregular verbs.

Robie:
Say something nice to her, Danielle.

Danielle:
She looks a lot older, up close.

Robie:
Ohhh -

Francie:
To a mere child, anything over twenty might seem old.

Danielle:
A child? Shall we stand in shallower water and discuss that?

Francie:
Enjoying yourself, Mr. Burns?

Robie:
Oh yes, it's very nice out here, with the sun and all.

Francie:
Well, it's too much for me. I'll see you at the hotel.

Robie:
[laughing nervously] I'll go with you.

Danielle:
But Mr. Burns, you didn't finish telling me why French women are more seductive than American women?

Robie:
I know what I'd like to tell you!
