Whenever I think
about this sad story...
1:18:06
it's as though
everyone wore masks
1:18:09
Like Sacha:
AIexandre-of-the-thousand-names...
1:18:13
And I always think
of that day in November 1933
1:18:16
Why does it haunt me?
1:18:21
Perhaps because on that day...
1:18:23
I had a premonition
of Alexandre's end
1:18:28
And yet, you had to know us
in those years...
1:18:32
to know the real joy of living!
1:18:35
We were all Alexandre's age...
1:18:39
we basked in Arlette's beauty
1:18:43
It's so painful
to imagine her today...
1:18:47
in the sordid world of a prison
1:18:50
Her beauty warmed our hearts
1:18:54
There is a store
in Biarritz, gentlemen...
1:18:57
whose name symbolizes
that period for me...
1:19:01
Biarritz-Bonheur...
Biarritz happiness
1:19:06
I must remind the witness
of where he is!
1:19:11
This Parliamentary Committee
is investigating...
1:19:14
a scandal that resulted
in rioting and death on Feb. 6th...
1:19:18
Ieading France
to the brink of civil war
1:19:21
Your testimony has certainly
been colorful...
1:19:25
but what about the sordid aspects?.
1:19:27
This is the truth as I know it
1:19:30
You say you are telling the truth
1:19:32
I remind you that
you have sworn to do so
1:19:35
Now permit us
to ask you some questions
1:19:38
You first met Alexandre at
the Biarritz Casino in April 1931...
1:19:44
You met him at the Casino...
1:19:48
Hadn't you ever heard
that he was indexed?
1:19:51
Banned from every Casino in France
at the time?.
1:19:54
Never, sir!
1:19:56
And I find it hard to believe,
even today
