The Most Dangerous Game: Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Leslie Banks, Robert Armstrong (1932 Movie)
-
1:41 - 1:44The channel's here on the chart. So are the marking lights.
-
1:44 - 1:47Then what's wrong with them?
-
1:47 - 1:49Those lights don't seem to be in just the right place.
-
1:49 - 1:52They're both a bit out of position, according to this.
-
1:52 - 1:55Two light buoys mean a safe channel between the world over.
-
1:55 - 1:58"Safe between the world over" doesn't go in these waters.
-
1:58 - 2:03Look here. You'll see the water shoals on the island side...
-
2:03 - 2:06while the deep soundings run to the mainland.
-
2:06 - 2:07Have any of you seen the captain today?
-
2:07 - 2:12- No. He wasn't down for dinner. - No, and he wasn't down for lunch.
-
2:12 - 2:15He hasn't left the bridge since you decided to come through the channel.
-
2:15 - 2:17What are you driving at?
-
2:17 - 2:20Ever since you gave him those orders yesterday to cut through these waters...
-
2:20 - 2:22he's had the jitters.
-
2:22 - 2:26There's something wrong. I... Hey, I'm getting nervous myself.
-
2:26 - 2:29Doc, what do you recommend for nerves?
-
2:29 - 2:31- Give him a shot of scotch. - Give the whole bottle.
-
2:31 - 2:36- No! I've got nerves too. - Here you are, Doc.
-
2:36 - 2:38Just what you need.
-
2:38 - 2:44- Well, maybe you're right. - And how, boy.
-
2:44 - 2:46- Good evening, Captain. - Good evening, sir.
-
2:46 - 2:51- May I speak with you? - Why, certainly. Go ahead.
-
2:51 - 2:54We're heading straight for the channel between Branca Island and the mainland.
-
2:54 - 2:58- Good. - But the lights are just a bit off, according to the chart.
-
2:58 - 3:01The charts are never up to date in this part of the Pacific. You know that.
-
3:01 - 3:03I know, sir, but...
-
3:03 - 3:05Doesn't Branca Island mean anything to you?
-
3:05 - 3:09- Well, not a lot. - Perhaps if I spoke with Mr. Rainsford...
-
3:09 - 3:11Bob's not a sailor. He's a hunter.
-
3:11 - 3:14He's made many of these trips. He's young, but he has judgment.
-
3:14 - 3:16I'll call him.
-
3:16 - 3:19- Oh, Bob. Bob! - What is it?
-
3:19 - 3:21- Come up here, will ya? - Just a minute.
-
3:21 - 3:24What's bothering you, Captain?
-
3:24 - 3:28There are no more coral-reefed, shark-infested waters in the whole world than these.
-
3:28 - 3:31Boy! Just take a look at these.
-
3:31 - 3:34You didn't turn out so hot as a hunter, Doc, but oh, what a photographer.
-
3:34 - 3:36If we'd had you to take pictures on the Sumatran trip...
-
3:36 - 3:38they might have believed my book.
-
3:38 - 3:41If you'd had me on the Sumatran trip, you'd have never had me on this one.
-
3:41 - 3:46Say, here's a swell one of the ship, Skipper. What's the matter?
-
3:46 - 3:48These old sea dogs tell yarns to kid each other...
-
3:48 - 3:50and end up believing it all themselves.
-
3:50 - 3:52I think that Mr. Rainsford should know...
-
3:52 - 3:55that the channel lights aren't just in the position given on the charts.
-
3:55 - 3:58Oh. Well, what do you think, fellas?
-
3:58 - 4:03I think we should turn back and take the outside course.
-
4:03 - 4:06We'll go ahead.
-
4:06 - 4:12Very well, sir. It's your ship.
-
4:12 - 4:15"It was the schooner 'Hesperus,' and she sailed the wintry sea. "
-
4:15 - 4:18Now, wait a minute, fellas. Let's talk this over.
-
4:18 - 4:20- There's no use taking any chances. - Chances? That's fine talk...
-
4:20 - 4:23coming from a fella who just got through slapping tigers in the face.
-
4:23 - 4:25Get an eyeful of this.
-
4:25 - 4:28And he talks about taking chances.
-
4:28 - 4:31Here's the doc charging the enemy with an unloaded camera.
-
4:31 - 4:33Get the expression on Doc's face, Bill.
-
4:33 - 4:35He looks more frightened than the tiger.
-
4:35 - 4:38- He is. - What'd you have on your mind, Doc?
-
4:38 - 4:41I'll tell you what I had on my mind.
-
4:41 - 4:44I was thinking of the inconsistency of civilization.
-
4:44 - 4:48The beast of the jungle killing just for his existence is called savage.
-
4:48 - 4:51The man, killing just for sport, is called civilized.
-
4:51 - 4:54- Hear! Hear! - It's a bit contradictory, isn't it?
-
4:54 - 4:56Now, just a minute. What makes you think...
-
4:56 - 4:59it isn't just as much sport for the animal as it is for the man?
-
4:59 - 5:01Take that fellow right there, for instance.
-
5:01 - 5:04There never was a time when he couldn't have gotten away.
-
5:04 - 5:07He didn't want to. He got interested in hunting me.
-
5:07 - 5:09He didn't hate me for stalking him...
-
5:09 - 5:11any more than I hated him for trying to charge me.
-
5:11 - 5:13As a matter of fact, we admired each other.
-
5:13 - 5:17Perhaps, but would you change places with the tiger?
-
5:17 - 5:22- Well, not now. - Mm-mm!
-
5:22 - 5:24Here comes that bad-luck lady again.
-
5:24 - 5:26Third time tonight.
-
5:26 - 5:29- Here. Let me shuffle them. - Wait a minute. Don't evade the issue.
-
5:29 - 5:32- Yeah, speak up. - I asked you a question.
-
5:32 - 5:35- You did? I forgot. - Oh, no, you didn't.
-
5:35 - 5:37I asked you if there'd be as much sport in the game...
-
5:37 - 5:39if you were the tiger instead of the hunter.
-
5:39 - 5:41- Come on. - What's your answer now, Bob?
-
5:41 - 5:43That's something I'll never have to decide.
-
5:43 - 5:45Listen here, you fellows.
-
5:45 - 5:49This world's divided into two kinds of people... the hunter and the hunted.
-
5:49 - 5:51Luckily, I'm a hunter. Nothing can ever change that.
-
5:51 - 6:04Hang on!
-
6:04 - 6:06Hello! Hello, down there! Hello, Engine Room!
-
6:06 - 6:36- The panel is flooded! - If the water hits those hot boilers...
-
6:36 - 6:40Help!
-
6:40 - 6:56Help!
-
6:56 - 7:05You trying to drown me?
-
7:05 - 7:07Where are the others?
-
7:07 - 7:09See anybody?
-
7:09 - 7:18Nobody left but us two and... that fella.
-
7:18 - 7:20Doc! Help!
-
7:20 - 7:25- Look! - Shark!
-
7:25 - 10:17Ohh! It got me!
-
10:17 - 10:28Hello! Is anybody here?
-
10:28 - 10:35Anybody around, I say.
-
10:35 - 10:42Oh, hello. Is this your house?
-
10:42 - 10:46I'm not trying to break in, but I've been in a wreck.
-
10:46 - 10:49Our yacht just sunk with all hands.
-
10:49 - 10:55I got ashore and found your place here by accident.
-
10:55 - 11:00I'm not trying to intrude, but I'm in sort of a jam.
-
11:00 - 11:03Don't you understand any English?
-
11:03 - 11:05Lvan does not speak any language.
-
11:05 - 11:07He has the misfortune to be dumb.
-
11:07 - 11:11Oh, hello. Are you the owner here?
-
11:11 - 11:15Yes. Welcome to my poor fortress.
-
11:15 - 11:17- Fortress? - It once was.
-
11:17 - 11:20Built by the Portuguese, centuries ago.
-
11:20 - 11:24I have had the ruins restored to make my home here.
-
11:24 - 11:26I am Count Zaroff.
-
11:26 - 11:30My name's Robert Rainsford. Glad to meet you.
-
11:30 - 11:32Very glad.
-
11:32 - 11:35Lvan is a Cossack.
-
11:35 - 11:38I am afraid, like all my fellow countrymen, he is a bit of a savage.
-
11:38 - 11:50Smile, Ivan.
-
11:50 - 11:54I was trying to make him understand there'd been a shipwreck in the channel.
-
11:54 - 11:58But how appalling!
-
11:58 - 12:01And you mean to say that you are the only survivor?
-
12:01 - 12:05Yes, I'm afraid I am.
-
12:05 - 12:08You're certain?
-
12:08 - 12:10I'd have never left the spot if I hadn't been.
-
12:10 - 12:14The swellest crowd on Earth... my best friends.
-
12:14 - 12:17- It's incredible. - Such things are always incredible.
-
12:17 - 12:20Death is for others, not for ourselves.
-
12:20 - 12:24That is how most of my other guests have felt.
-
12:24 - 12:26Your other guests? You mean this has happened before?
-
12:26 - 12:32My fellow, we have several survivors from the last wreck still in the house.
-
12:32 - 12:35It would seem that this island were cursed.
-
12:35 - 12:37That's just what the captain said.
-
12:37 - 12:39Only he thought it was uninhabited.
-
12:39 - 12:43We Cossacks find our inspiration in solitude.
-
12:43 - 12:47- Well, it's a break for me, anyway. - My house is yours.
-
12:47 - 12:51Oh, by the way. You'll want to change those wet rags immediately.
-
12:51 - 12:53Yes. They look about the way I feel.
-
12:53 - 12:54Yes.
-
12:54 - 12:58I have some loose hunting clothes which I keep for my guests...
-
12:58 - 13:02that you can possibly get into.
-
13:02 - 13:04Lvan will show you to your room.
-
13:04 - 13:09- Thank you. - You'll find a stiff drink there also.
-
13:09 - 13:11Thanks a lot.
-
13:11 - 13:42All pleasure is mine.
-
13:42 - 13:47Come in.
-
13:47 - 13:52- Ready, Rainsford? - All set.
-
13:52 - 13:54I'm afraid we have finished dinner.
-
13:54 - 13:56But I have ordered something for you.
-
13:56 - 13:58Thanks. I don't feel like eating, though.
-
13:58 - 14:02Oh. Well, perhaps later.
-
14:02 - 14:04Now, then, what do you say to coffee...
-
14:04 - 14:11and most charming company?
-
14:11 - 14:14It is hard to forget your comrades' fate, I know...
-
14:14 - 14:18but our feminine guest is easily perturbed.
-
14:18 - 14:21If I could beg you to put a good face upon the matter.
-
14:21 - 14:24A- Assume a cheerfulness you may not feel.
-
14:24 - 14:34- Why, sure. Of course. - Thank you.
-
14:34 - 14:37Miss Trowbridge, may I present Mr. Robert Rainsford.
-
14:37 - 14:39- Miss Eve Trowbridge. - How do you do?
-
14:39 - 14:42- How do you do? - And her brother, Mr. Martin Trowbridge.
-
14:42 - 14:44How are you, old chap? Pretty well shaken up, I guess, huh?
-
14:44 - 14:48- Coming out of it now, thanks. - We know how it feels, don't we, Eve?
-
14:48 - 14:50Indeed we do.
-
14:50 - 14:52Perhaps Mr. Rainsford would like some hot coffee.
-
14:52 - 14:58Oh, yes, of course. Mr. Rainsford, please sit here.
-
14:58 - 15:00Vodka, that's the stuff!
-
15:00 - 15:02One shot'll dry you out quicker than all the coffee in Java.
-
15:02 - 15:05Have to toss it off, though. Like this.
-
15:05 - 15:07Now, Martin, you don't have to drink it all tonight, do you?
-
15:07 - 15:11Don't be ridiculous, sis. We are victims of circumstance.
-
15:11 - 15:13Same as Mr. Rainsford.
-
15:13 - 15:16And if anyone has a right to his liquor, it's a victim of circumstance.
-
15:16 - 15:17- Isn't that so, Count? - Of course, yes.
-
15:17 - 15:20- You were in a shipwreck too? - Yes.
-
15:20 - 15:23Our lifeboat was the only one saved...
-
15:23 - 15:25my brother and I and two sailors.
-
15:25 - 15:28The count found us on the beach with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
-
15:28 - 15:30Those channel lights must have been shifted.
-
15:30 - 15:33- I wonder it hasn't been reported. - Well, we'll report 'em...
-
15:33 - 15:35just as soon as we get back to the mainland.
-
15:35 - 15:38You see, the count has only one launch...
-
15:38 - 15:42and that's under repair.
-
15:42 - 15:47Russians are not the best mechanics.
-
15:47 - 15:50I'm afraid we'll have to be patient a few days longer.
-
15:50 - 15:54It's all right with me. I feel as if I were living on borrowed time right now.
-
15:54 - 15:56Speaking of that, perhaps now you'll tell us...
-
15:56 - 15:58a little bit about who you are.
-
15:58 - 16:02Just sketchily, you know... born, married, why I left my last job.
-
16:02 - 16:04No, no, no, no. One moment, please.
-
16:04 - 16:08Mr. Rainsford need never explain who he is in my house.
-
16:08 - 16:10We entertain a celebrity, Miss Trowbridge.
-
16:10 - 16:15Wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't tell me. Let me guess.
-
16:15 - 16:18I know. Flagpole sitter.
-
16:18 - 16:21- I know. He wrote some books. - No, he lived some books.
-
16:21 - 16:25If I am not mistaken, this is Mr. Robert Rainsford...
-
16:25 - 16:27who hunts big game so adventurously.
-
16:27 - 16:28Yeah? Here's to ya.
-
16:28 - 16:32- I've lugged a gun around a little. - "I've lugged a gun around a little. "
-
16:32 - 16:35No, I have read your books. I read all books on hunting.
-
16:35 - 16:39- A papiroso? - Thank you.
-
16:39 - 16:42Only in yours have I found a sane point of view.
-
16:42 - 16:44- What do you mean, "sane"? - Cigarette?
-
16:44 - 16:48- Hmm? Yeah. Thanks. - You do not excuse what needs no excuse.
-
16:48 - 16:50Let me see. How did you put it?
-
16:50 - 16:53"Hunting is as much a game as stud poker...
-
16:53 - 16:55only the limits are higher. "
-
16:55 - 16:58- You have put our case perfectly. - Then you're a hunter yourself?
-
16:58 - 17:03We are kindred spirits. It is my one passion.
-
17:03 - 17:06He sleeps all day and hunts all night.
-
17:06 - 17:09And what's more, Rainsford, he'll have you doing the same thing.
-
17:09 - 17:12We'll have capital sport together, I hope.
-
17:12 - 17:13Don't encourage him.
-
17:13 - 17:15He's had our two sailors so busy...
-
17:15 - 17:18chasing around the woods after flora and fauna...
-
17:18 - 17:21that we haven't seen them for three days.
-
17:21 - 17:26But what do you hunt here?
-
17:26 - 17:30I'll tell you. You will be amused, I know.
-
17:30 - 17:33I have done a rare thing.
-
17:33 - 17:35I have invented a new sensation.
-
17:35 - 17:37Yeah, and is he stingy with it.
-
17:37 - 17:39What is this sensation, Count?
-
17:39 - 17:43Mr. Rainsford, God made some men poets.
-
17:43 - 17:46Some He made kings, some beggars.
-
17:46 - 17:50Me, He made a hunter.
-
17:50 - 17:55My hand was made for the trigger, my father told me.
-
17:55 - 17:57He was a very rich man...
-
17:57 - 18:00with a quarter of a million acres in the Crimea, and an ardent sportsman.
-
18:00 - 18:04When I was only still up high he gave me my first gun.
-
18:04 - 18:07- Good for him. - My life has been one glorious hunt.
-
18:07 - 18:11It would be impossible for me to tell you how many animals I have killed.
-
18:11 - 18:17- But when the revolution... - Look out.
-
18:17 - 18:19Oh, I'm so sorry.
-
18:19 - 18:22Count Zaroff was so interesting...
-
18:22 - 18:27I didn't realize the danger.
-
18:27 - 18:29Oh, it's all right now. What were you saying about the revolution, Count?
-
18:29 - 18:34Oh, merely that I escaped with most of my fortune.
-
18:34 - 18:39Naturally, I continued to hunt all over the world.
-
18:39 - 18:42It was in Africa that the Cape buffalo gave me this.
-
18:42 - 18:43That must have been a close call.
-
18:43 - 18:47Yes. It still bothers me sometimes.
-
18:47 - 18:51However, in two months I was on my way to the Amazon.
-
18:51 - 18:54I'd heard that the jaguars there were unusually cunning.
-
18:54 - 18:57No, no, no. No sport at all.
-
18:57 - 19:01Well, conditions are bad everywhere these days.
-
19:01 - 19:04One night, as I lay in my tent with this...
-
19:04 - 19:06this head of mine...
-
19:06 - 19:10a terrible thought crept like a snake into my brain.
-
19:10 - 19:13Hunting was beginning to bore me.
-
19:13 - 19:16Is that such a terrible thought, Count?
-
19:16 - 19:21It is, my dear lady, when hunting has been the whip for all other passions.
-
19:21 - 19:23When I lost my love of hunting...
-
19:23 - 19:31I lost my love of life... of love.
-
19:31 - 19:34Well, you seem to have stood it pretty well.
-
19:34 - 19:37I even tried to sink myself to the level of the savage.
-
19:37 - 19:42I made myself perfect in the use of the Tartar war bow.
-
19:42 - 19:44Tartar which?
-
19:44 - 19:47Tartar war bow...
-
19:47 - 19:52That one up there.
-
19:52 - 19:54It's cute.
-
19:54 - 19:56Even to this day I prefer to hunt with it...
-
19:56 - 19:58but alas, even that was too deadly.
-
19:58 - 20:02What I needed was not a new weapon...
-
20:02 - 20:04but a new animal.
-
20:04 - 20:08- A new animal? - Exactly so.
-
20:08 - 20:12You found one?
-
20:12 - 20:15Yes.
-
20:15 - 20:17Here on my island...
-
20:17 - 20:22I hunt the most dangerous game.
-
20:22 - 20:26"The most dangerous game"? You mean tigers?
-
20:26 - 20:30Tigers? No.
-
20:30 - 20:36The tiger has nothing but his claws and his fangs.
-
20:36 - 20:47I heard some queer beast howling back there along the water. Was that it?
-
20:47 - 20:49It's no use, Rainsford.
-
20:49 - 20:51He won't tell.
-
20:51 - 20:54He won't even let you see his trophy room...
-
20:54 - 20:58till he gets ready to take you on a hunt of the great whatsit.
-
20:58 - 21:03My one secret. I keep it as a surprise for my guests...
-
21:03 - 21:05against the rainy day of boredom.
-
21:05 - 21:07You let me in on that game...
-
21:07 - 21:10and I'll bet you I go for it.
-
21:10 - 21:12You know, Rainsford, he hasn't failed yet.
-
21:12 - 21:15If he says a thing is good, it is good.
-
21:15 - 21:18He's a judge of liquor, wizard at contract...
-
21:18 - 21:21plays the piano... anything you want.
-
21:21 - 21:24He's a good host and a good scholar, eh, Count?
-
21:24 - 21:25Yes, yes.
-
21:25 - 21:29You want me to go hunting? You just say the word. We're pals.
-
21:29 - 21:32We'll have a big party, get cockeyed and go hunting.
-
21:32 - 21:34A completely civilized point of view.
-
21:34 - 21:38I tell you what you do. You come to my place in the Adirondacks, see.
-
21:38 - 21:42We'll have a private car, liquor and gals on the trip...
-
21:42 - 21:47and the guides will make the deers behave.
-
21:47 - 21:49I think we'd better change the subject.
-
21:49 - 21:52All right. Change the subject.
-
21:52 - 21:54Oh, I know! Play the piano, huh?
-
21:54 - 21:56If you wish.
-
21:56 - 22:00Good idea. Play the piano. Leave it to me, and I'll fix everything.
-
22:00 - 22:04Perhaps the count doesn't want to play.
-
22:04 - 22:06There you go, sis, throwing cold water.
-
22:06 - 22:09Leave me alone. I know where the piano is.
-
22:09 - 22:11I'm perfectly sober.
-
22:11 - 22:14Charming simplicity.
-
22:14 - 22:15"Completely civilized," did you say?
-
22:15 - 22:19He talks of wine and women as a prelude to the hunt.
-
22:19 - 22:21We barbarians know that it is after the chase...
-
22:21 - 22:24and then only that man revels.
-
22:24 - 22:26It does seem a bit like cocktails before breakfast.
-
22:26 - 22:30Of course, yes. You know the saying of the Ugandi chieftains...
-
22:30 - 22:33"Hunt first the enemy, then the woman. "
-
22:33 - 22:35That's the savages' idea everywhere.
-
22:35 - 22:37It is the natural instinct.
-
22:37 - 22:40What is woman... even such a woman as this...
-
22:40 - 22:44until the blood is quickened by the kill?
-
22:44 - 22:47- Oh, I don't know. - "Oh, I don't know. "
-
22:47 - 22:49You Americans.
-
22:49 - 22:52One passion builds upon another.
-
22:52 - 22:55Kill! Then love.
-
22:55 - 22:57When you have known that...
-
22:57 - 23:02you will have known ecstasy.
-
23:02 - 23:05Oh, Martin!
-
23:05 - 23:09Here you see Zaroff, the keyboard king...
-
23:09 - 23:11in his Branca Island hour.
-
23:11 - 23:14Come on, Count. Now, you show them.
-
23:14 - 23:16- What do you suggest? - Oh, just a good tune.
-
23:16 - 23:18But not highbrow, like last night.
-
23:18 - 23:46- Just a good tune, see? - I see.
-
23:46 - 23:48Oh, his hunting dogs.
-
23:48 - 23:50Keep your voice low and listen.
-
23:50 - 23:52It isn't true about the launch needing repairs.
-
23:52 - 23:55I heard it leave the boathouse last night. It returned this morning.
-
23:55 - 23:57You mean he's keeping you from returning to the mainland?
-
23:57 - 24:00Yes.
-
24:00 - 24:03Well, perhaps he enjoys the company of two very charming people.
-
24:03 - 24:07Two, maybe. There were four of us a week ago.
-
24:07 - 24:11- The other two have disappeared. - What do you mean?
-
24:11 - 24:13One night after dinner, the count took one of our sailors...
-
24:13 - 24:16down to see his trophy room...
-
24:16 - 24:19at the foot of those stone steps.
-
24:19 - 24:21- That iron door? - Yes.
-
24:21 - 24:24Two nights later he took the other there.
-
24:24 - 24:27Neither has been seen since.
-
24:27 - 24:29Have you asked him about them?
-
24:29 - 24:31He says they've gone hunting.
-
24:31 - 24:33Oh, be careful. He's watching us.
-
24:33 - 24:36Will you smile, as if I'd said something funny?
-
24:36 - 24:39Now look here. You must be mistaken.
-
24:39 - 24:41Not now.
-
24:41 - 24:45Applaud.
-
24:45 - 24:49- Attaboy! Attaboy! - Thank you.
-
24:49 - 24:51What did I tell you? Smacks a mean ivory, eh, Rainsford?
-
24:51 - 24:53It was splendid. Don't stop, please.
-
24:53 - 24:57I'm afraid we have failed to hold the full attention of our audience.
-
24:57 - 25:00Well, I expect it's rather difficult for Mr. Rainsford...
-
25:00 - 25:03to concentrate on anything after all he's been through.
-
25:03 - 25:06My dear lady, you are pleading for yourself.
-
25:06 - 25:10I can see the drooping of those lovely eyes.
-
25:10 - 25:13Excuse me.
-
25:13 - 25:15You know, the count's worse than a family governess.
-
25:15 - 25:18Every night he sends us off to bed like naughty children.
-
25:18 - 25:21Oh, no, my dear. No.
-
25:21 - 25:26Charming children.
-
25:26 - 25:28There, you hear that, sis?
-
25:28 - 25:31Now trot along upstairs and don't bother us grownups anymore.
-
25:31 - 25:34Well, after that I guess... I guess I'll have to go.
-
25:34 - 25:36- Good night, Mr. Rainsford. - Good night.
-
25:36 - 25:39We'll be seeing each other at breakfast.
-
25:39 - 25:40- Good night. - Good night.
-
25:40 - 25:48Good night, sis. We won't be seeing each other at breakfast.
-
25:48 - 25:51Oh, my dear Rainsford, I have been most inconsiderate.
-
25:51 - 25:53You must be feeling the need of sleep too.
-
25:53 - 26:02- Yes, I am just about all in. - Then Ivan will show you to your room.
-
26:02 - 26:05Oh, Martin, turn in early, please?
-
26:05 - 26:10Don't worry. The count'll take care of me, all right.
-
26:10 - 26:28Indeed I shall.
-
26:28 - 26:31- Well, good night. - Good night, sir.
-
26:31 - 26:42Sleep well.
-
26:42 - 26:46Oh, uh, well, here's to long life.
-
26:46 - 26:49A long life.
-
26:49 - 26:51Tell me, Mr. Trowbridge...
-
26:51 - 26:53are you also fatigued?
-
26:53 - 26:55Tired? Me?
-
26:55 - 26:57You know I'm not.
-
26:57 - 27:00You know, Rainsford, we two are just alike.
-
27:00 - 27:03Up all night and sleep all day.
-
27:03 - 27:07Well, good night.
-
27:07 - 27:13Well, what are we gonna do, huh?
-
27:13 - 27:15What's the big idea?
-
27:15 - 27:18I thought that perhaps...
-
27:18 - 27:23tonight you would like to see my trophy room?
-
27:23 - 27:25Your trophy room?
-
27:25 - 27:29I'm sure you will find it most...
-
27:29 - 27:31interesting.
-
27:31 - 27:33Say, that's a great idea.
-
27:33 - 27:36Ho-ho. Now we're pals. No more secrets now, huh?
-
27:36 - 27:40- We'll make a night of it. - I hope so, Mr. Trowbridge.
-
27:40 - 27:43Just you and I... pals. We'll have fun together, huh?
-
27:43 - 27:46Precisely, yes.
-
27:46 - 27:48Fun together.
-
27:48 - 28:29Attaboy, County, old boy, old boy, County.
-
28:29 - 28:31Please let me come in.
-
28:31 - 28:35I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm frightened.
-
28:35 - 28:37- What was it? Those dogs? - My brother.
-
28:37 - 28:39I've been listening for hours for him to come upstairs.
-
28:39 - 28:42I've just gone to his room. He isn't there!
-
28:42 - 28:45- He's probably somewhere with the count. - That's just what I'm afraid of.
-
28:45 - 28:49Count Zaroff is planning something... about my brother and me.
-
28:49 - 28:51You don't really think anything has happened to your brother?
-
28:51 - 28:53Oh, I don't know, but we've got to find him.
-
28:53 - 28:56Won't you help me?
-
28:56 - 28:58Why, of course I'll help you.
-
28:58 - 29:03- Where do you think he's gone? - Where did the others go?
-
29:03 - 29:06The iron door.
-
29:06 - 29:08I'll meet you downstairs in five minutes.
-
29:08 - 29:38Thank you.
-
29:38 - 30:33That's queer. It's unlocked.
-
30:33 - 30:35Zaroff! He's coming down.
-
30:35 - 31:12Back here, quick!
-
31:12 - 31:31Where is my brother?
-
31:31 - 31:34You killed him!
-
31:34 - 31:37You killed my brother!
-
31:37 - 31:38You!
-
31:38 - 31:59Why, you...
-
31:59 - 32:01Come, come, my dear Rainsford.
-
32:01 - 32:04I don't want to treat you like my other guests.
-
32:04 - 32:09You and I, we are hunters.
-
32:09 - 32:12So that's your most dangerous game.
-
32:12 - 32:15Yes. My dear fellow, I intended to tell you last night...
-
32:15 - 32:16but you know, Miss Trowbridge...
-
32:16 - 32:18You hunted him like an animal.
-
32:18 - 32:20I know what you think, but you are wrong.
-
32:20 - 32:23He was sober and fit for sport when I sent him out.
-
32:23 - 32:26An hour or two strapped up in here brought him to his senses.
-
32:26 - 32:29You raving maniac!
-
32:29 - 32:32Yes, yes, yes. I'll take it off... when we've finished.
-
32:32 - 32:37The stupid fellow tried to escape through the swamps of Fog Hollow.
-
32:37 - 32:40You see, when I first began stocking my island...
-
32:40 - 32:42many of my guests thought I was joking...
-
32:42 - 32:45so I established this trophy room.
-
32:45 - 32:48I always bring them here before the hunt.
-
32:48 - 32:51An hour with my trophies...
-
32:51 - 32:53and they usually do their best to keep away from me.
-
32:53 - 32:56Where do you get these poor devils?
-
32:56 - 33:01Providence provided my island with dangerous reefs.
-
33:01 - 33:03But there are light buoys to mark the safe channel.
-
33:03 - 33:08They do not always mark it.
-
33:08 - 33:10- You shifted them. - Precisely right.
-
33:10 - 33:13Too bad your yacht should have suffered...
-
33:13 - 33:15but at least it brought us together.
-
33:15 - 33:17You take half-drowned men from ships you've wrecked...
-
33:17 - 33:19and drive them out to be hunted.
-
33:19 - 33:22I give them every consideration...
-
33:22 - 33:24good food, exercise...
-
33:24 - 33:26everything to get them in splendid shape.
-
33:26 - 33:30- To be shot down in cold blood. - Oh, no, no.
-
33:30 - 33:32Oh, I admit, with this annoying fellow...
-
33:32 - 33:35but usually I give them hunting clothes...
-
33:35 - 33:38a woodsman's knife and a full day's start.
-
33:38 - 33:42I even wait until midnight to give them the full advantage the dark.
-
33:42 - 33:45And if one eludes me only till sunrise...
-
33:45 - 33:48he wins the game.
-
33:48 - 33:53Suppose he refuses to be hunted.
-
33:53 - 33:57Ivan is such an artist with these.
-
33:57 - 34:03Invariably, Mr. Rainsford, invariably they choose to hunt.
-
34:03 - 34:09And when they win?
-
34:09 - 34:12To date I have not lost.
-
34:12 - 34:15Oh, Rainsford, you'll find this game worth playing.
-
34:15 - 34:19When the next ship arrives, we'll have gorgeous sport together.
-
34:19 - 34:23You murdering rat! I'm a hunter not an assassin.
-
34:23 - 34:27Come, Rainsford. Say you will hunt with me.
-
34:27 - 34:30Hunt men?
-
34:30 - 34:38Say you will hunt with me!
-
34:38 - 34:39No?
-
34:39 - 34:43What do you think I am?
-
34:43 - 34:46One, I fear, who dare not follow his own convictions...
-
34:46 - 34:49to their logical conclusion.
-
34:49 - 34:52I'm afraid in this instance, Mr. Rainsford...
-
34:52 - 34:56you may have to follow them.
-
34:56 - 34:59What do you mean?
-
34:59 - 35:03I shall not wait for the next ship.
-
35:03 - 35:10Four o'clock. The sun is just rising.
-
35:10 - 35:28Come, Mr. Rainsford. Let us not waste time.
-
35:28 - 35:34Ivan.
-
35:34 - 35:38Your fangs and claws, Mr. Rainsford.
-
35:38 - 35:51Bob! Bob!
-
35:51 - 35:53Lvan.
-
35:53 - 35:56Bob! Bob, what are they going to do?
-
35:56 - 35:59- I'm going to be hunted. - Oh, no. No, Miss Trowbridge.
-
35:59 - 36:01Outdoor chess.
-
36:01 - 36:03His brain against mine.
-
36:03 - 36:06His good craft against mine.
-
36:06 - 36:10- And the prize? - The prize?
-
36:10 - 36:13You may recall what I said last evening.
-
36:13 - 36:16Only after the kill...
-
36:16 - 36:20does man know the true ecstasy of love.
-
36:20 - 36:23Suppose you lose.
-
36:23 - 36:25If I do not...
-
36:25 - 36:28What shall I say?.. Find you...
-
36:28 - 36:33between midnight and sunrise tomorrow, freedom for both of you.
-
36:33 - 36:36- I'm going with you. - No. He'll kill you too.
-
36:36 - 36:39Not at all. One does not kill a female animal.
-
36:39 - 36:42If you lose, I can easily recapture her alive.
-
36:42 - 36:44All right. I'll take her with me then.
-
36:44 - 36:52We'll set him a trail he'll remember.
-
36:52 - 36:57It's only fair to advise you against Fog Hollow.
-
36:57 - 37:13Outdoor chess, Mr. Rainsford.
-
37:13 - 37:16Don't lose your nerve. We'll beat this thing.
-
37:16 - 37:28- The others didn't. - We will.
-
37:28 - 37:57Come on. Let's get going.
-
37:57 - 37:59It seems as though we've come miles.
-
37:59 - 38:03Yeah, but three hours doesn't take you far in this jungle.
-
38:03 - 38:05Come on. Let's keep going.
-
38:05 - 38:14Come on.
-
38:14 - 38:18Just a little more of this, then easy downhill going.
-
38:18 - 38:43We'll soon be safe.
-
38:43 - 38:45No wonder he was so sure.
-
38:45 - 38:48This island is no bigger than a deer park.
-
38:48 - 38:51Oh, Bob!
-
38:51 - 38:54Come on, now.
-
38:54 - 38:56What are we going to do?
-
38:56 - 39:00We didn't each live through a shipwreck to let this crazy man hunter worry us.
-
39:00 - 39:04I shouldn't have come with you. You might beat him if you were alone.
-
39:04 - 39:07Alone? And leave you here with that savage?
-
39:07 - 39:11Not a chance.
-
39:11 - 39:14Now we've got to think of something to worry him.
-
39:14 - 39:16You'd never get near him. He'd shoot on sight.
-
39:16 - 39:19Weapons aren't everything in the jungle.
-
39:19 - 39:23Say, did you notice that leaning tree down there?
-
39:23 - 39:30- The one we just passed? - Yes. I want to show you something.
-
39:30 - 39:33You see? If that supporting branch were cut away...
-
39:33 - 39:35this fallen tree would make a perfect Malay deadfall.
-
39:35 - 39:37A Malay deadfall? What's that?
-
39:37 - 39:40A man-killing contraption the natives use.
-
39:40 - 39:42It would stop that madman, all right.
-
39:42 - 39:44Trouble is, it takes quite a few hours to build.
-
39:44 - 39:46He said he wouldn't follow till midnight.
-
39:46 - 39:49That's right. If you help me, I think we'll have time.
-
39:49 - 39:55Come on. We'll cut some strong vines.
-
39:55 - 39:58There. Almost ready.
-
39:58 - 40:01This bracelet of yours makes a fine guide ring for my necktie.
-
40:01 - 40:04He'll have been on his way almost an hour now.
-
40:04 - 40:06Look out! Don't touch that trip line.
-
40:06 - 40:08You'll have a two-ton tree down on your back.
-
40:08 - 40:11- Jungle wood's as heavy as iron. - Will it really work?
-
40:11 - 40:14I've never known a living thing to get by one yet.
-
40:14 - 40:17Look here. You touch that trip line...
-
40:17 - 40:20it'll pull that trigger free.
-
40:20 - 40:23Once that's loose, there's nothing to keep the log from coming down.
-
40:23 - 40:29It'll crash down and kill anything underneath it.
-
40:29 - 40:36Look.
-
40:36 - 40:54We're ready. Let him come.
-
40:54 - 41:55Give me that knife.
-
41:55 - 41:57Come out, Rainsford.
-
41:57 - 41:59Why prolong it?
-
41:59 - 42:01I'll not bungle this shot.
-
42:01 - 42:04You'll never even feel it.
-
42:04 - 42:08But surely you don't think that anyone who has hunted leopards...
-
42:08 - 42:16would follow you into that ambush?
-
42:16 - 42:20Oh, very well. If you choose to play the leopard...
-
42:20 - 42:40I shall hunt you like a leopard.
-
42:40 - 43:06Wait. Maybe it's a trick.
-
43:06 - 43:18Eve.
-
43:18 - 43:20Why did he go?
-
43:20 - 43:22He's playing with us... like a cat with a mouse.
-
43:22 - 43:24What do you mean?
-
43:24 - 43:26You heard him say he'd hunt us as he'd hunt a leopard.
-
43:26 - 43:28That means he's gone for his high-powered rifle.
-
43:28 - 43:31His rifle? Oh, Bob, we must get away from here!
-
43:31 - 43:53- Run, quick! - Eve, wait.
-
43:53 - 43:56- No, I tell you, no! - Don't stop! No!
-
43:56 - 43:58Wait. That's Fog Hollow ahead.
-
43:58 - 44:02- Fog Hollow? - The swamp where he caught the others.
-
44:02 - 44:05We haven't a chance of keeping ahead of him there.
-
44:05 - 44:07- But there's no place else to run. - That's just what he's counting on.
-
44:07 - 44:11We've got two hours till dawn. We've got to use our brains instead of our legs.
-
44:11 - 44:13But he'll have his rifle.
-
44:13 - 44:15And we'll have a man trap. Look.
-
44:15 - 44:26It makes me dizzy.
-
44:26 - 44:28Cover this over.
-
44:28 - 44:31When Mr. Zaroff falls down there, he'll be all through hunting.
-
44:31 - 46:18Quick. Gather some leaves and grass. I'll cut some branches.
-
46:18 - 46:22Yes. Very good, Rainsford.
-
46:22 - 46:24Very good.
-
46:24 - 46:26You have not won yet.
-
46:26 - 46:31Look at your watch.
-
46:31 - 46:33Are you looking at it?
-
46:33 - 46:36Still half an hour till sunrise.
-
46:36 - 46:39Swamp or no swamp, we can keep ahead of him that long.
-
46:39 - 46:43As you are doubtless saying, the odds are against me.
-
46:43 - 46:47You have made my rifle useless in the fog.
-
46:47 - 50:51You cannot blame me if I overcome that obstacle.
-
50:51 - 54:44Those animals I cornered... now I know how they felt.
-
54:44 - 54:49Achmed, Miss Trowbridge...
-
54:49 - 54:52bring her here.
-
54:52 - 55:46Now!
-
55:46 - 55:57My dear Rainsford, I congratulate you.
-
55:57 - 56:01You have beaten me.
-
56:01 - 56:03Not yet.
-
56:03 - 56:11Oh, but of course. I insist.
-
56:11 - 56:14Why, you're...
-
56:14 - 56:16You're not even wounded.
-
56:16 - 56:18You hit the dog not me.
-
56:18 - 56:22I took a chance and went over with him.
-
56:22 - 56:25A clever trick, Rainsford.
-
56:25 - 56:30I cheerfully admit defeat.
-
56:30 - 56:33Here's the key of the boathouse.
-
56:33 - 56:35The door is in the trophy room.
-
56:35 - 56:38You and Miss Trowbridge may leave at once.
-
56:38 - 57:58No!
-
57:58 - 58:07Ohh!
-
58:07 - 58:15Bob!
-
58:15 - 58:19Eve!
-

The Most Dangerous Game is a 1932 Pre-Code adaptation of the 1924 short story of the same name by Richard Connell, the first film version of that story. The plot concerns a big game hunter on an island who chooses to hunt humans for sport. The film stars Joel McCrea, Leslie Banks, and King Kong leads Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong, and was made by a team including Ernest B. Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper, the co-directors of King Kong (1933).
Because it was so inexpensive to make, costing only $200,000, The Most Dangerous Game made more profit for RKO than the very expensive King Kong did.
Famous big game hunter and author Bob Rainsford (Joel McCrea) swims to a small, lush island, the sole survivor of a shipwreck. There, he becomes the guest of Russian Count Zaroff (Leslie Banks), a fellow hunting enthusiast. Zaroff remarks that Bob's misfortune is not uncommon; in fact, four people from the previous sinking are still staying with him: Eve Trowbridge (Fay Wray), her brother Martin (Robert Armstrong), and two sailors.
That night, Zaroff introduces Bob to the Trowbridges and reveals his obsession with hunting. During one of his hunts, a Cape buffalo inflicted a head wound on him. He eventually became bored of the sport, to his great consternation, until he discovered "the most dangerous game" on his island. Bob asks if he means tigers, but Zaroff denies it. Later, Eve shares her suspicions of Zaroff's intentions with the newcomer. The count took each sailor to see his trophy room, on different days, and both have mysteriously disappeared. She believes their host is responsible, but Bob is unconvinced.
Then Martin vanishes as well. In their search for him, Bob and Eve end up in Zaroff's trophy room, where they find a man's head mounted on the wall. Then, Zaroff and his men appear, carrying Martin's body. Zaroff expects Bob to view the matter like him and is gravely disappointed when Bob calls him a madman.
He decides that, as Bob refuses to be a fellow hunter, he must be the next prey. If Bob can stay alive until sunrise, Zaroff promises him and Eve their freedom. However, he has never lost the game of what he calls "outdoor chess". Eve decides to go with Bob.
Eventually, they are trapped by a waterfall. While Bob is being attacked by a hunting dog, Zaroff shoots, and the young man falls into the water. Zaroff takes Eve back to his fortress, to enjoy his prize. However, the dog was shot, not Bob. Bob fights first Zaroff, then his henchmen, killing them. As Bob and Eve speed away in a motor boat, a not-quite-dead Zaroff tries to shoot them, but he succumbs to his wounds and falls out of the window where below are his hunting dogs, it is assumed that the dogs kill him for good.
