Island in the Sun (1957) Subtitles

00:03:21,301 --> 00:03:24,The island of Santa Marta
is not very much different...

00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:27,from any of the other
smaller islands in the Caribbean.

00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:31,Towering mountains,
white gold beaches...

00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:35,coconut palms
and hot tropical sun.

00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:40,It has a population
of about 100,000...

00:03:40,186 --> 00:03:43,9/10ths of it colored
or of mixed blood.

00:03:43,623 --> 00:03:47,Its main industry is
raising sugar, copra, cocoa...

00:03:47,193 --> 00:03:49,and exporting them.

00:03:49,195 --> 00:03:51,Originally a French Island...

00:03:51,197 --> 00:03:55,its laborers were brought in slave ships
from the Gold Coast of Africa...

00:03:55,134 --> 00:03:57,four and a half centuries ago.

00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:01,And now it is
a British Crown Colony.

00:04:01,574 --> 00:04:04,Well, that about sums up
all the facts you'll find...

00:04:04,277 --> 00:04:06,in the tourist guides,
Mr. Bradshaw.

00:04:06,846 --> 00:04:10,Of course, as a journalist, you'll want
to see as much of our island as possible.

00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:14,If you're in doubt about anything,
get in touch with Colonel Whittingham here.

00:04:14,387 --> 00:04:16,Nothing like being on the right side
of the police, eh, Colonel?

00:04:16,990 --> 00:04:18,- Quite so.
- Denis.

00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:21,- Sir?
- Have you arranged for Mr. Bradshaw's hotel?

00:04:21,527 --> 00:04:24,- The St. James.
- Good. Very comfortable, the St. James.

00:04:24,697 --> 00:04:27,- Excellent bar.
- I don't drink, sir.

00:04:28,001 --> 00:04:29,- Oh.
- Doctor's orders.

00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:31,Pity.

00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:35,- Well, we'll be seeing you this afternoon at the reception.
- Thank you, Your Excellency.

00:04:35,308 --> 00:04:37,Oh, Your Excellency,
just one more question.

00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:41,I'm very interested in the new constitution
that's being given to the islands.

00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:45,Do you think the West Indian
is ready to govern himself?

00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:48,When you get to know
the island better, Mr. Bradshaw...

00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:52,I shall be glad to discuss it with you.

00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:54,Good day, sir.

00:04:59,666 --> 00:05:03,Is there much discontent
in the islands, Colonel?

00:05:03,736 --> 00:05:06,Crime's my business,
Mr. Bradshaw, not politics.

00:05:39,038 --> 00:05:40,Sylvia?

00:05:42,475 --> 00:05:44,Sylvia.

00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:47,Sylvia?

00:05:49,649 --> 00:05:51,Sylvia?

00:06:33,159 --> 00:06:36,- Bye, Mavis. See you later.
- Bye.

00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:39,- Want some help?
- Yes.

00:06:39,432 --> 00:06:41,Well, call somebody.

00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:48,Maxwell, how nice.
I didn't expect you until later.

00:06:50,209 --> 00:06:52,- I won't be a minute.
- I'll wait.

00:06:55,314 --> 00:06:57,Please, dear.
I'm hot and sticky.

00:07:01,220 --> 00:07:04,- Did you see your father?
- We lunched at the club.

00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:07,Mother's coming back tomorrow from Barbados.
My sister tell you?

00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:10,- Oh, there you are.
- Here are the towels.

00:07:10,329 --> 00:07:12,Thanks, dear.
Well, I'm off for a shower.

00:07:12,765 --> 00:07:14,Tell Mavis we'll see her
at H.E.'s party.

00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:16,Okay.

00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,- How was the beach?
- Oh, fun.

00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:28,- Anybody there I know?
- Oh, you know, the usual bunch.

00:07:28,514 --> 00:07:30,What time's the party
at Government House?

00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:32,The invitation said 5:30.

00:07:36,856 --> 00:07:39,- Anything wrong?
- What?

00:07:40,059 --> 00:07:42,Well, you've a very odd look.

00:07:42,595 --> 00:07:45,You haven't changed to
smoking Egyptian cigarettes, have you?

00:07:45,865 --> 00:07:49,- No. Why?
- You better run along.

00:07:49,368 --> 00:07:51,You gonna meet Mother
at the plane tomorrow?

00:07:51,504 --> 00:07:54,No, Daddy's going.
Why don't you go with him?

00:07:54,273 --> 00:07:57,- She'd prefer to have you.
- Well-

00:07:57,143 --> 00:07:59,- Tell Sylvia that I'll see her later.
- Mm-hmm.

00:08:20,766 --> 00:08:22,- Is that you, darling?
- Yes.

00:08:26,138 --> 00:08:28,We'll have to hurry.
What time did the invitation say?

00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:31,5:30. Do we have to go?

00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:35,- I'd rather stay out here at Belfontaine.
- We can't very well not go.

00:08:35,314 --> 00:08:37,After all, it's protocol.

00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:41,Besides, it's a party to welcome
Lord Templeton's only son and heir.

00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,- What's his name?
- Who?

00:08:43,122 --> 00:08:46,- The governor's son.
- Euan, I think.

00:08:46,726 --> 00:08:48,I saw his picture
in the Tatler.

00:08:49,061 --> 00:08:52,Pass me a tissue,
would you, darling?

00:08:52,198 --> 00:08:54,He's been stationed in the Middle East
for the last 18 months.

00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:58,This will be a holiday for him.
He's going up to Oxford in the autumn.

00:08:58,137 --> 00:09:00,You seem to know
a great deal about him.

00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:02,Well, you know the island.

00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:05,A male-young, white, unmarried,
titled and comparatively rich-

00:09:05,878 --> 00:09:08,Good heavens. What else
do you think the girls would talk about?

00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:12,- Darling, you're not jealous, are you?
- A bit.

00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,- Whatever of?
- Anybody with all those virtues.

00:09:18,858 --> 00:09:22,That's the penalty
for being so much in love with you.

00:09:22,295 --> 00:09:24,That's sweet.

00:09:24,730 --> 00:09:26,Anybody out
at the house today?

00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:31,- Out at the house?
- While I was in town.

00:09:31,904 --> 00:09:34,No, not that I know of.

00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:37,- Why?
- I just wondered.

00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:41,Darling, you must get dressed.
We'll never get to the party.

00:10:16,816 --> 00:10:18,Mrs. de Voeux.

00:10:20,386 --> 00:10:22,Mrs. de Voeux is matron
of our hospital.

00:10:22,655 --> 00:10:25,Her son also captains our best cricket team.
My son, Euan.

00:10:25,791 --> 00:10:29,I know exactly
how young Templeton feels.

00:10:29,528 --> 00:10:31,Eighteen months military duty
in the Middle East.

00:10:31,864 --> 00:10:35,Desert, fleas,
not a woman in miles.

00:10:35,234 --> 00:10:37,How do you do?

00:10:37,236 --> 00:10:39,How are you?

00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:44,No need for you
to stand guard, my boy.

00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:47,I'll hold the fort.
You start campaigning.

00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:49,Thank you, sir.

00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,Oh, no, no. I can't go in.
I haven't been invited.

00:10:57,890 --> 00:11:01,I can't crash a party
at Government House.

00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:05,But you can...
if you're with David Boyeur.

00:11:05,297 --> 00:11:08,I'll say you're my cousin.
What difference does it make?

00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:11,It makes a difference to me.
If I go in, I go in as Margot Seaton.

00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:14,If I have to leave,
I'll leave as Margot Seaton.

00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:17,That's all right with me,
if that's the way you want it.

00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:19,Well, it may get you
into trouble with the governor.

00:11:21,113 --> 00:11:23,Me? Trouble with the governor?

00:11:24,083 --> 00:11:27,Templeton needs me
much more than I need him.

00:11:27,386 --> 00:11:29,Do you really want me to go?

00:11:29,755 --> 00:11:32,Yes, I do. You're an idiot to be afraid
of those people up there.

00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:34,What for?

00:11:34,794 --> 00:11:36,Do you mind
getting out of the driveway?

00:11:40,199 --> 00:11:42,We're going in.

00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:45,All right.
But I warn you, you may regret it.

00:11:51,577 --> 00:11:53,What do representative girls
in their early 20s...

00:11:53,579 --> 00:11:55,drink at the beach
in Santa Marta, Colonel?

00:11:55,581 --> 00:11:58,- Rum swizzles, I believe.
- Rum swizzles?

00:11:58,617 --> 00:12:03,Tomorrow afternoon then?
With a thermos full of rum swizzles.

00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:06,Excuse me.
There's my father.

00:12:17,002 --> 00:12:18,Ah, there you are.

00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:21,I was beginning to think
my secretary had forgotten to invite you.

00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:25,- Your Excellency, Miss Margot Seaton.
- How do you do?

00:12:25,111 --> 00:12:27,Will you excuse me?

00:12:27,113 --> 00:12:29,There's an American journalist
here I'd like you to meet.

00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:32,I'm sure you've explained
how dangerous I **.

00:12:32,184 --> 00:12:35,Of course.
Our...
