1
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:55,100
The '50s were a grand time,
if you were a man.

2
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,305
I'm Dick Nolan. I make things up
for a living. I'm a reporter.

3
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,620
It's the strangest goddamn story
that I ever covered.

4
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,300
It started the day that Margaret Ulbrich
walked out on her suffocating husband,

5
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,629
long before it became
the fashionable thing to do.

6
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,423
Come on, Janie.

7
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,500
Sugar! You made it!

8
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,660
- You're in North Beach!
- Look at you, Deirdre!

9
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,420
- Dee-Ann.
- Oh! Dee-Ann.

10
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,180
I know, but I came on the scene
and Deirdre sounded like something

11
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:24,220
my mother would call me.
So are you flipping for all this?

12
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,900
- Are you settled? How's Jane?
- Jane is swell.

13
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,740
She's going to
this sweet, little school.

14
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,220
You know, it's really hard
without her father, and I just...

15
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,620
- ...don't know if we're gonna be...
- Stop that.

16
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,420
- What?
- You're better off.

17
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,580
Between us, I never liked Frank.

18
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,580
- You were a bridesmaid.
- Exactly.

19
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,860
That's why I couldn't say anything.
But if I see you wrong off again,

20
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,860
I will tell you. Now, come on,
let's have some fun.

21
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,660
For jazz, check out the Hungry I.
For Italian, Vanessi's.

22
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,740
For salvation, try the Buddhist temple.
For art, Six Gallery.

23
00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:55,540
- Do they only show Modern?
- Everyone only shows Modern.

24
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,380
And in the basement, they have espresso.

25
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,309
Espresso, what's that?
Is that like reefer?

26
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,224
You have a lot to learn.

27
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,340
Back then, women didn't leave.

28
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,740
Not without a job or prospects.

29
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,140
All she had was her paintings
in the trunk,

30
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,340
and her daughter in the backseat.

31
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,144
Good luck.

32
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:30,146
Okay.

33
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,900
We don't get many ladies in here.

34
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,943
So, your husband approves
of you working?

35
00:05:40,043 --> 00:05:41,951
My husband and I are separated.

36
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,491
Separated?

37
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,462
I realize that I have
no employment experience,

38
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,183
but I really do need this job.
I have a daughter to support.

39
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,940
I'm not very good at tooting my
own horn, but I do love to paint.

40
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,620
So if I could just
show you my portfolio.

41
00:06:04,701 --> 00:06:08,380
I studied at the Watkins
Art Institute in Nashville,

42
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,900
then I took some illustration classes
in New York.

43
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,380
This is a... it's a pastel that I did.

44
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:20,269
And... this is a charcoal portrait.

45
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,950
You do understand this
is a furniture company?

46
00:07:01,344 --> 00:07:02,900
Okay, sounds great.

47
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,220
- You see anything you like?
- I like those over there.

48
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,780
- They're really neat.
- Yeah.

49
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,740
- Your stuff is cute.
- Thank you.

50
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,140
- How much?
- Today's special, $2.

51
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,865
I'll give you $1.

52
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,780
- All right.
- All right, go ahead, Dylan.

53
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,664
Go ahead and have a seat.

54
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,300
- What's your name?
- My name is Dylan.

55
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,460
- Dylan. And how old are you?
- I'm nine years old.

56
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,186
Nine years old, wow.

57
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,180
- It's like a Monet.
- Monet?

58
00:07:38,543 --> 00:07:42,340
Monet? That's a hell of a compliment.

59
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,420
Though, if I may respectfully disagree,

60
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,820
I'm more in the tradition of Pissarro.

61
00:07:48,448 --> 00:07:53,100
Come, come a little closer.
Come on. Good!

62
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,620
See these daring specks of bold color?

63
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,980
Do you wanna touch it? Come on.

64
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:06,061
Go on, do it. I don't lay it on thick.
You're not gonna break it.

65
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,821
It's $35.

66
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,507
Would you excuse me one second?

67
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,581
Here we are.

68
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,220
- Here you go.
- Thank you.

69
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,184
Oh, thank you.

70
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,700
You're better than spare change.
You shouldn't sell yourself so cheap.

71
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,580
- Well, I'm just glad they liked it.
- Oh! You're past that point.

72
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:39,545
Your heart's in your work.

73
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,346
What's your name?

74
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,509
Margaret.

75
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,260
Look, wouldn't you rather...
flirt with those girls over there?

76
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,906
No. I like you, Margaret...

77
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,660
Ulbrich.

78
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,309
You know, Margaret Ulbrich,
you undervalue yourself.

79
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,311
Let me show you how it's done.

80
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,860
Little girl!

81
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,100
How would you like
your portrait sketched

82
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,380
by the world-renowned
Margaret Ulbrich, Queen of the Bay?

83
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,500
In mere minutes, she captures your soul!

84
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,620
- Nah.
- "Nah"?

85
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,380
Don't you wish this were you
in this beautiful painting?

86
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:22,780
But that is me.

87
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,980
And that's me,
and that one started as me,

88
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,620
then Mother turned it
into a Chinese boy.

89
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,820
My apologies.
I misconstrued the situation.

90
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,700
Well, I'd better mosey along

91
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,109
before Mr. Ulbrich comes back
and socks me in the eye.

92
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,063
Mr. Ulbrich is out of the picture.

93
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,380
- Bonsoir, Henri.
- Oh, Monsieur Keane!

94
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,580
Sorry for not calling first.

95
00:09:56,680 --> 00:10:01,069
Monsieur, your regular table is ready.
Madame, bonsoir. Bienvenue.

96
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:03,660
Thank you.

97
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,220
And I don't have to pay.

98
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,420
I'm set because
I gave the chef a painting.

99
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,180
- You know what he said?
- What?

100
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,620
He said, "No one paints Montmartre
like Walter Keane!"

101
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,626
I can't believe you lived in Paris.

102
00:10:21,257 --> 00:10:23,991
Best time of my life.

103
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,900
I've never even been on an airplane.

104
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,340
Oh, you have to experience these things.
You have to grab them.

105
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,060
I wanted to be an artist,
so I just went!

106
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,580
Studied painting at the Beaux-Arts.

107
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,500
Lived in a Left Bank studio.
Survived on bread and wine.

108
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,620
- You are a romantic.
- Damn right you are.

109
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,020
Of course, walking away
from the bourgeois scene wasn't easy.

110
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,782
I had to quit my job... leave my wife.

111
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,309
Yeah, these choices aren't easy.

112
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,900
I've never acted freely.

113
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,786
I was a daughter, and then a wife,
and then a mother.

114
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,500
All of my paintings are of Jane
because she's all I know.

115
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,020
Don't knock your work.
You have an amazing talent.

116
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,460
You can look at someone
and capture them on canvas.

117
00:11:20,560 --> 00:11:22,820
You can paint people.

118
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,060
I can only paint things.

119
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,260
Yeah, my street scenes are... charming,

120
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:34,341
but at the end of the day, they're just
a collection of buildings and sidewalks.

121
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,702
Walter, I bet you can paint anything.

122
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,380
When you look at me like that,
I could fall hard.

123
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,831
I'm sorry.
This is just moving really fast.

124
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,264
I haven't been on a date in a long time.

125
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,700
Jane, sweetie, stop fidgeting.

126
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,905
Mother, after all this time,
you must know what my face looks like.

127
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,820
Hey. Your canvas is blank.

128
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,100
- You can't rush inspiration.
- Jane.

129
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,420
Don't bother Mr. Keane.
You know creativity comes from within.

130
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,022
Don't worry. She's not bothering me.

131
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,180
I gotta ask you a question.

132
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,180
- What's that with the big crazy eyes?
- Oh.

133
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:56,260
Well, I believe that you can see things
in the eyes.

134
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,220
The eyes are the window to the soul.

135
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,540
Yeah, but...
you paint them like pancakes.

136
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,140
They're way out of proportion.

137
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,020
Well, eyes are
how I express my emotions.

138
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,180
I've always drawn them like that.

139
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,020
When I was little, I had surgery
that left me deaf for a period,

140
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,900
and I couldn't hear,
so I found myself staring.

141
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,540
I relied on people's eyes.

142
00:13:22,184 --> 00:13:24,460
Walter? Hey, Walt!

143
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,660
- I thought that was you!
- Hi, Don.

144
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,260
Boy, am I glad to see you!

145
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,700
Hey, have we heard back
from the city on that setback?

146
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,260
My guys really need the variance
for the first floor retail.

147
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,460
- We'll hear from Permits by Thursday.
- Yeah? That's terrif!

148
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:40,101
I'll tell the architects. Okay.

149
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,145
What was that?

150
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,423
I didn't want you to know.

151
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,700
I'm in commercial real estate.

152
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,660
- You're a realtor?
- Yeah.

153
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,820
A hugely successful realtor.

154
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,140
Top earner in the downtown office
three years running.

155
00:14:09,092 --> 00:14:11,220
And you're ashamed?

156
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,027
Well, any blockhead
can arrange a sublet.

157
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,585
All I ever wanted was
to support myself as an artist.

158
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:26,229
I tried to make a clean break,
but couldn't cut it.

159
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,069
I'm just a Sunday painter.

160
00:14:35,796 --> 00:14:39,388
You're such a gentleman
carrying it all the way.

161
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,866
Thank you. Just come right in here.

162
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,740
Just set it down over here.
I just like to...

163
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,660
- Right here?
- Yeah. That's great. I just...

164
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,820
like to keep it out of the way.

165
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:01,580
This is... one that I'm working on.

166
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,387
You can see that... I'm working on it.

167
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,705
I got the mail.

168
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,940
The mail...

169
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,868
What's wrong?

170
00:15:53,663 --> 00:15:56,180
Frank wants to take Jane away.

171
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,140
- He says that I'm an unfit mother...
- You're a perfect mother.

172
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,740
He told the courts that...
she lacks a proper home

173
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,420
and that it is beyond my capabilities
as a single mother...

174
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,224
Marry me.

175
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,460
Walter! I...

176
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,140
Don't think of a reason to say no,

177
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,340
'cause I've got a million reasons
to say yes.

178
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,300
- I know it makes no sense.
- No, it doesn't...

179
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,300
But just think of the fun we'll have!

180
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,549
And I'm going to take care of you girls.

181
00:16:39,772 --> 00:16:42,140
Margaret, I'm on my knee!

182
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,020
Come on, what do you say?
Let's get married.

183
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,942
- We could be in Hawaii by the weekend.
- Oh, Hawaii? Marriage?

184
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,580
I don't know, Walter,
I'm crazy about you.

185
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,820
I'm just really overwhelmed right now.
Why would we go to Hawaii? Why?

186
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,947
Because you're a princess and you
deserve to get married in paradise.

187
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:24,820
You were right! It's paradise!

188
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,820
- Only God could create these colors.
- I knew you'd love it.

189
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:35,660
- Can't we just stay here forever?
- Well, I don't know about forever.

190
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,023
But I guess I could arrange
for another week.

191
00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:20,660
That's that waterfall, and the air
was so fresh you could taste it.

192
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,020
This was... an ancient altar.

193
00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,784
That's a statue of Kane,
the god of creation.

194
00:18:27,884 --> 00:18:30,260
I said a prayer to him.

195
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:33,748
Oh, and that's Walter and Janie,
they built that sandcastle together.

196
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,420
Wow, this is all happening mighty quick.

197
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,740
In the time you moved here, I've had
two dates and you're already married.

198
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,620
Well, I thought there was a void
in my life and Walter filled it.

199
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,220
Walter's filled a lot of things.

200
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,540
He's diddled every skirt
on the art circuit.

201
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,420
That is my husband
that you are talking about.

202
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,767
I know, that's why I brought it up.

203
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:55,263
I'm not naive.

204
00:18:57,879 --> 00:19:00,660
I am naive. But I know who I married.

205
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,860
Walter can be rash,
but he's a good provider.

206
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,580
And he's really wonderful with Jane.

207
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:09,580
We're just looking to make a fresh
start. I am a divorcee with a child.

208
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,021
Walter is a blessing.

209
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,181
Thanks.

210
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,268
"You are on the threshold
of untold success."

211
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,220
What's brilliant about the composition
is its spontaneity.

212
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,300
The image has no visual center
of attention.

213
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,940
- It's quite gestural.
- Oh, definitely.

214
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,710
Strongly influenced by the Tachistes.

215
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,500
I heard Tab Hunter
was in here looking at one.

216
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,465
Well, I'm not allowed to say, but...

217
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,540
Oh, Christ.

218
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,260
Don't come in here, not now. Please.

219
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:04,020
Ruben! Good day! Do you got a minute?

220
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,860
Walter, in polite society,
the word is "appointment."

221
00:20:07,449 --> 00:20:09,809
I could come back later.

222
00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:12,625
You're gonna love my stuff today.

223
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,270
Haven't I seen that one before?

224
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,220
No! That was painted
in the 5th Arrondissement.

225
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,820
This is the 6th Arrondissement.

226
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,900
I don't understand.
You lived in Paris for a week.

227
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,540
How can you still
be cranking out paintings?

228
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,100
It's all up here. And here.

229
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,580
Well, it's not going up here.

230
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,460
Walter, you know we don't go
for that representational jazz.

231
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,020
You're too literal.

232
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:41,140
- Art isn't fashion.
- Yes, it is.

233
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:46,983
People want Kandinsky or Rothko.
They don't want goopy street scenes.

234
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,147
How about this?

235
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,308
Good God! You've entered a new period.

236
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,302
No. They're my wife's.

237
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,420
Why are their eyes so big?

238
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,140
- Like big, stale jellybeans.
- It's Expressionism.

239
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,661
Surely, you recognize it.

240
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,189
Well, I'm just glad
you two found each other.

241
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,100
So what do you say?

242
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,140
- I say no. It's not art.
- "It's not art"?

243
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,340
It's like the back of a magazine.
You know, "Draw the turtle!

244
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,140
Send in a nickel, win the big contest!"

245
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,220
How dare you!
Lots of people will like this.

246
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,860
Well, nobody who's walking
through the doors of this gallery.

247
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,031
Now, please, clear out the clutter
before the taste police arrive.

248
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,789
We'll never break in!

249
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,220
There's a secret society
of gallery owners and critics

250
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,420
who get together for Sunday brunch
in Sausalito deciding what's "cool."

251
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,980
Like McCarthy, in his hearings:

252
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,186
"I anoint that painter.
I banish that painter to Nowheresville."

253
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:22,140
I think people buy art
because it touches them.

254
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,100
Yeah, you're living in fairyland.

255
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,020
People don't get to discover anything.

256
00:22:28,120 --> 00:22:31,540
They buy art because it's
in the right place at the right time.

257
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,100
Okay, give it up for Cal Tjader!

258
00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:40,860
That set was humming!

259
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,780
All right, be sure to stick around
for the 1 a.m. show!

260
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:54,700
Oh, yeah. Enjoy yourself.
Enjoy. See you again.

261
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,180
Excuse me.

262
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,980
Hey, Banducci. I love the music tonight.
It's a gas.

263
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,860
- Oh, thanks. Thank you.
- Walter Keane. I'm a painter.

264
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,980
I was looking at your walls.
They're pretty plain.

265
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,820
Oh. Well, maybe you're right.
What color were you thinking?

266
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,860
No, no, I'm an artist.
I used to be based on the Left Bank.

267
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:22,140
Now I've relocated to the States
and I'm looking for...

268
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,460
an exhibition venue.

269
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,344
I like my club the way it is.

270
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,460
Your stuff is so hot,
go put it in a museum.

271
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,100
Okay. I respect that.
You're a businessman, not a charity.

272
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:39,784
How about if I rented your walls?

273
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,066
Walter, Margaret, we're ready.

274
00:24:17,230 --> 00:24:20,860
An art lover! Beautiful!
What can I do for you, sir?

275
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,949
I'm just looking for the john.

276
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,186
Thanks.

277
00:24:30,067 --> 00:24:32,500
I think you're going to have to ask him.

278
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,460
Honestly, I think you...
How did you find him?

279
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,106
Oh, it was easy...

280
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,200
No!

281
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,824
Look at that child.

282
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,028
She's so sad.

283
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,580
- Is she poor?
- She's forgotten.

284
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,908
It just makes me want to cry.

285
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,580
- Are you Keane?
- Yes, I am.

286
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,220
Well, you're a hell of a painter.

287
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,300
Thank you. Thank you very much.

288
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,502
Your work is very powerful.

289
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,604
There's so much emotion in those eyes.

290
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:39,180
- Is something wrong?
- No.

291
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,740
- I didn't realize you meant that waif.
- Oh, I get it.

292
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,060
The artist doesn't wanna part
with his favorite piece.

293
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,025
Oh, sweetie, thank you! I love it!

294
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,345
I'll be quick.

295
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,320
Ladies.

296
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,100
Hey, Picasso! Nice crowd, huh?

297
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,260
You wouldn't know it
from that broom closet you parked me in.

298
00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:16,020
What are you talking about?
That's prime thoroughfare.

299
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:17,900
People drink,
they gotta relieve themselves.

300
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,020
That's insulting! When people see art,
they shouldn't think of shit!

301
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,940
Hey! Watch it with the purple language.
Hey, there's ladies present here!

302
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,171
Hey!

303
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,220
I've never posted bail before.

304
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,660
I'm sorry. Banducci laughed at our art,
so I socked him.

305
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,420
Since when are you thin-skinned?
Artists have to handle criticism.

306
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,380
I know. You're right.
But I was in a bad place already.

307
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,460
I'd had a couple, then I made some guy
believe I painted your big eyes.

308
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,580
What? I don't understand.
Why would you do such a thing?

309
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,024
It was a misunderstanding. And then,
I didn't want to jinx the sale.

310
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,785
Well, don't ever do it again.

311
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,980
- Hey!
- Don't give me a hard time.

312
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,591
I'm just grabbing my stuff.

313
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,300
Can you believe it? We're sold out!
I don't even have a headliner!

314
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,380
Hell, it's a Monday!

315
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,900
Walter, we made the front page.

316
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,831
People are here because
they wanna see the sappy paintings

317
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,427
that made grown men fight.

318
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,860
- I'm sick of you, Keane!
- I'll see you in court,

319
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,028
- you son of a bitch!
- You're gonna see me, all right.

320
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,980
- I'll sue you for assault!
- I'm sick of you and your paintings!

321
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,740
I'll... I'll sue you for slander!
And false arrest!

322
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,864
- You son of a bitch!
- Let's go see.

323
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,540
Walter Keane was not a subtle man.

324
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,141
But subtle doesn't sell.

325
00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:18,540
Yes, sir.

326
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,340
That was quite a load of horseshit
you gents were laying out there.

327
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,190
Dick Nolan. The Examiner.

328
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,940
Hey, pal, don't lose any sleep.
I eat this stuff up with a spoon.

329
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,980
Gives me something to write about
in my column.

330
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,100
I thought you were only
doing celebrities.

331
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,820
Well, Banducci's famous and you hit him.

332
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,741
So you're a celebrity, once removed.
Buy me a drink.

333
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,340
Hey, Gary. I'll have a Ward Eight
in a frosted highboy.

334
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,588
And my friend will have the same.

335
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,431
So, Walter, tell me about your work.

336
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,229
- When I was in Paris...
- Oh, no, Jesus, not those.

337
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,307
I mean the little hobo kids.

338
00:29:23,136 --> 00:29:25,780
Wake up!

339
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,710
- Wake up!
- Hi.

340
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:32,140
You were a hit!

341
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,380
What a night!
I sold out all your big eyes!

342
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,020
- There must be $200!
- They adore you!

343
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,824
- Walter!
- Because of that article,

344
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,380
the joint was packed!

345
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:49,620
And then a famous journalist showed up,
and... I need more paintings!

346
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,660
- Walter!
- Now!

347
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,785
That's gonna take at least a week!
I need to do sketching and painting...

348
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,020
Of course! But this is an opportunity!

349
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,020
- Yeah.
- We're gonna make a crackerjack team.

350
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:08,340
Me schmoozing up the clubs, while you're
back here, doing what you love!

351
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,301
Get out of there!

352
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,589
I love you.

353
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,980
The eyes are so powerful.

354
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,980
You know, a poet once said

355
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,340
the eyes are the windows of the soul.

356
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,300
That's why I paint them so big.
I've always done it that way.

357
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,700
If you're interested in that style,
I'm working on a few new pieces.

358
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:54,464
I have a little blond girl in a yellow
dress that'll tear your heart out.

359
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,260
Walter?

360
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,508
Baby! What are you doing here?

361
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:01,944
Why are you lying?

362
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,109
Excuse me.

363
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,020
You were taking credit for something
that isn't yours.

364
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,940
No. I was just trying to close the deal.

365
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,900
These children are a part of my being.

366
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,380
I'm a salesman. You know buyers
pay more if they meet the painter.

367
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,660
They couldn't meet me
because you told me to stay home.

368
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,380
Look, we're making money. Your pocket,
my pocket? Where's the difference?

369
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,300
- You're taking this so lightly.
- Not at all!

370
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,180
This is not about ego.
You wanna say you did the street scenes?

371
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,667
Fine. I don't care.
Say a monkey painted them.

372
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,260
Well, I'm glad that you
can just dash away your work

373
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,580
without any emotional connection, but...

374
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,460
Oh, honey, I just want to share them
with the world.

375
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,100
Would you rather have your children
piled in a closet,

376
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,587
or hanging in someone's living room?

377
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,460
Who's that man?

378
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,420
That is Dino Olivetti,
of Olivetti typewriters.

379
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,580
But don't even think about it, Walter.
He doesn't speak a lick of English.

380
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,191
Hey! Welcome!

381
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,079
Good to see you, good to see you.

382
00:33:31,020 --> 00:33:34,220
Mr. Olivetti is enchanted
by the painting.

383
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,900
He would like to know who is the artist?

384
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,900
I am!

385
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,700
It's a delight to meet you, Signore!

386
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,100
Have you been an art lover for long?

387
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,620
I call this piece...

388
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,700
Five grand!

389
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,060
We made $5,000!

390
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,780
And it wasn't even
for one of your good ones!

391
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,780
- Don't you mean one of your good ones?
- No. No, no! No.

392
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,540
All right, "our." One of our good ones.

393
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,020
We're now hanging in the collection
of Italian industrialist Dino Olivetti.

394
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:53,540
With his patronage comes credibility,
and with credibility comes respect.

395
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,020
- Well, what about honesty?
- Oh, come on.

396
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:01,180
The painting says "Keane."
I'm Keane, you're Keane.

397
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,460
From now on, we're one and the same.

398
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:17,660
My sources tell me that the mayor
is to expect a big surprise today.

399
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,340
On behalf of the children of the world,

400
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:24,740
I present this painting
to the mayor of San Francisco!

401
00:35:27,240 --> 00:35:28,671
My man on the street tells me

402
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,744
that the Soviet ambassador's
in town this week.

403
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,580
In the interest of peace
through culture,

404
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,700
I donate this painting to the people
of the Soviet Union.

405
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:45,945
The Purple Onion. 9:30.
Joan Crawford has a dinner reservation.

406
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,420
Miss Crawford, in recognition
of your cinematic craft,

407
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,100
we bestow this painting on you.

408
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,340
The cat is out of the bag.

409
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,860
I can reveal that our local luminary,
Walter Keane,

410
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,267
is opening his own gallery

411
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,622
Ruben's gonna choke when he sees this.

412
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,108
I remember when Mama painted that.

413
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,980
Are you sure?
That would have been a while ago.

414
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,420
Sure I'm sure.
It was in our old apartment,

415
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,180
and you had me sit on the stool
in the kitchen.

416
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,260
No, sweetie, you're confused.
I painted that.

417
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,191
No, Mother did.
I'm wearing my blue dress.

418
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,900
Lots of girls have that dress.

419
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,340
You have a good eye.

420
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,220
I painted it, but I tried
to mimic your mother's style.

421
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,344
You know,
the style she used to paint in.

422
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,104
Well, you did a really good job.

423
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,020
Hello.

424
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,145
I'm sorry, I've never done this before,
so... don't know...

425
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,740
I was raised Methodist,
so if that's a problem, I can go.

426
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,380
No, no, please.
We don't chase people away.

427
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,380
- Okay.
- What is troubling you?

428
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,347
Well... I lied to my child.

429
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,580
Why would you do that?

430
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,900
My husband, he pressured me to do it.

431
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,183
I've just never lied to her before.
I'm not that kind of person.

432
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,388
Is your husband that kind of person?

433
00:37:51,456 --> 00:37:53,540
I don't think of him that way.

434
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,940
I mean, he likes to tell stories.
Maybe he exaggerates a bit,

435
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,780
but... he's a good man,

436
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:03,340
and he's just trying to save enough
money to buy a house for the family.

437
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:07,940
But what of the child?
Will this lie bring harm to her?

438
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:12,668
Harm? No, no. No. I don't...

439
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,785
I'm just looking for some answers.

440
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,260
Well, the modern world
is a complicated place.

441
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:26,740
Occasionally, children may need
to be sheltered from certain truths.

442
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,900
No. No, it's not like...

443
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,540
It sounds as if your husband

444
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,140
is trying to make the best
of an imperfect situation.

445
00:38:35,240 --> 00:38:38,980
You were raised Christian,
you know what we are taught:

446
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,460
the man is head of the household.

447
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,506
Perhaps you should...
trust his judgment.

448
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,460
I think it's creepy,
maudlin and amateurish.

449
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,900
Exactly. I love it.

450
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,588
- We got in early. We own three.
- Oh.

451
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,380
Thanks.

452
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,915
Hey...

453
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:21,860
Hey, baby.
Killer party. It's a happening.

454
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,100
So where's your stuff?

455
00:39:25,250 --> 00:39:27,980
We decided that this
would just be Walter's show.

456
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,500
Oh, "we" did? Why would "we" do that?

457
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,540
Because Walter is more established.

458
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,300
It's strange, you know,
Walter doesn't really strike me

459
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,787
as the cute, hungry kitten type.

460
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,904
It's really good to see you.
Thank you for coming.

461
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,589
Your husband's quite a talent.

462
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,628
Do you paint, too?

463
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,669
I don't know.

464
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,700
I'm curious about your technique.
How long did that piece take to execute?

465
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,427
That? Probably months.

466
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,020
You know, first the thinking,
the sketching,

467
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,340
then the time with just me and the oils.

468
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,180
Oils? But isn't that acrylic?

469
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,340
Oh, that! Yeah.

470
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,821
Yeah, it's like a jumble of ideas

471
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,540
rattling around in my brain.

472
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,502
So where do you get your ideas?

473
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,300
What do you mean?

474
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,222
I mean... why are they
all images of children?

475
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,147
May I remind you, Miss Rogers,
that you're still under oath.

476
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,020
Miss Rogers,

477
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,380
you testified that

478
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,460
when you met Judson Bailey in Corelli's,

479
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,900
you'd been talking to a man at the bar.

480
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,780
- Well, I don't understand.
- Couldn't he have been some stranger

481
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,700
who just struck up a conversation
with Mr. Bailey?

482
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,180
- No!
- Thank you, Mrs. Stone. That'll be all.

483
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,986
Perry Mason will return after this.

484
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,980
New York Times art critic John Canaday

485
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,581
with a perspective
into the work of Walter Keane.

486
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,620
Keane's work is completely
without distinction.

487
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:33,740
He is not a member
of the Society of Western Artists.

488
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,180
He has won no awards.

489
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:40,860
He's only noteworthy for his appearances
in a certain newspaper's gossip columns.

490
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,428
Mr. Keane is why society needs critics

491
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,060
to protect them from such atrocities.

492
00:41:48,749 --> 00:41:50,380
Mom!

493
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,020
Mom!

494
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,260
Can I come in?

495
00:41:55,394 --> 00:41:58,909
No, you can't. Mama's busy right now.

496
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,471
What are you doing in there?

497
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,420
Janie, sweetie, come.

498
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,860
You need to respect
your mother's privacy.

499
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:21,861
Sometimes grownups
need alone time. Come.

500
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:32,105
Is that the ice cream truck?

501
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:39,466
Go get yourself a Fudgsicle.

502
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:51,504
Ooh! Out of this world!

503
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,740
I don't know.
I'm not comfortable with this.

504
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,260
Jane and I used to be really close,
and now...

505
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:00,460
Jane's fine. She's eating ice cream.

506
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,580
She has new shoes.
She even has a college fund.

507
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,820
Maybe... I'm just lightheaded
from all this turpentine.

508
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,460
- I've been up here all day.
- I need your help.

509
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,028
I want to go on television
to defend our art.

510
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,101
- Wait, you're going on television?
- Yeah, but what am I gonna say?

511
00:43:21,240 --> 00:43:26,949
Meaning, what compels me
to paint these paintings?

512
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,060
Maybe you have an unhealthy obsession
with little girls.

513
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,580
- Cute.
- I'm sorry.

514
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,540
Looks like you've painted yourself
into a corner.

515
00:43:39,343 --> 00:43:41,940
You want heat this winter? Help me out.

516
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,108
Walter, art is personal.

517
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,700
What compels a grown man
to paint a picture like this?

518
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,540
Because I... I grew up
surrounded by six sisters?

519
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,780
I grew up in an orphanage?

520
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:04,220
I lived in a world
where adults had vanished

521
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,540
and kids and kittens ran wild

522
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,186
over a desolate landscape?

523
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,020
What about your street scenes?
Why did you paint those?

524
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:18,020
Well, I lived it. I experienced it.

525
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,940
Oh, was it all sunlit-dappled streets
and flower vendors?

526
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,508
Of course not. It was after the war.

527
00:44:29,720 --> 00:44:32,551
There was destruction everywhere.

528
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,460
I traveled the continent.

529
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,140
The ravages were horrifying.

530
00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:44,860
My psyche was scarred
in my art student days.

531
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,500
Nothing in my life
has ever made such an impact

532
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,100
as the sight of the children.

533
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,180
The war-wracked innocents,

534
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,460
without parents, without homes,

535
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,500
fighting over garbage.

536
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,460
That's where my life

537
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,221
as a painter began in earnest.

538
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:15,303
From then on, I painted the lost children
with the big eyes.

539
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:21,383
Those eyes that forever will retain
their haunting quality.

540
00:45:33,577 --> 00:45:34,933
Mr. Keane!

541
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,860
Thank you so much.

542
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,462
Thank you.

543
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,425
Mr. Keane.

544
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,060
- How many sales today?
- Sales? None with this crowd.

545
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,820
These people are all looky-loos.
They can't afford these paintings.

546
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,182
But we have been giving away
a lot of posters.

547
00:46:21,245 --> 00:46:23,020
It's the craziest thing.

548
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,220
I started charging for the posters.

549
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,780
First a nickel, then a dime.

550
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,063
Yes, Maggie! It's cuckoo!

551
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,300
But then it got me thinking.

552
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,060
Would you rather sell one $500 painting

553
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,820
or a million cheaply reproduced posters?

554
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:44,660
See, folks don't care if it's a copy.
They just want art that touches them.

555
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,540
Then we could sell it anywhere.

556
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,504
Everywhere!

557
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,900
It stinks in here.
You should open a window.

558
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,340
- What time is it?
- 6:30.

559
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,340
What do you got back there? Let me see.

560
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:43,980
Oh, Walter, it's personal.

561
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,980
Personal? We're married.

562
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:47,900
We're not supposed to have secrets
from each other.

563
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,070
Come on, put it up there.
Put it up there.

564
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,542
It's a completely different style.

565
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,900
Yes, it is.

566
00:49:05,474 --> 00:49:07,060
It kind of looks like you.

567
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,662
Well, it's a self-portrait.

568
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,780
How am I gonna explain that?

569
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,301
I was thinking that...

570
00:49:21,240 --> 00:49:23,820
maybe I could sign it myself.

571
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,100
That sounds a bit confusing, doesn't it?

572
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,820
"Keane" means me.

573
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,860
I know, but when people ask me
if I paint,

574
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,900
I don't know how to answer
and it would be nice

575
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,500
to have the pride of being able to say,
"That's mine."

576
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,460
- Who'd you tell about the big eyes?
- Nobody.

577
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:43,380
If you tell anyone,
this empire collapses!

578
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,220
Do you wanna give back the money?
We've committed fraud!

579
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,627
I know!

580
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,860
My God, I know! I live with this
every minute of my life!

581
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,180
I've kept my end of the bargain.

582
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:01,066
I have not told anyone.

583
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:06,104
Please. Just let me have this.

584
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,700
I didn't know you painted, Margaret.

585
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,028
Yeah, we don't talk about it.

586
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,620
Sadly, people don't buy lady art.

587
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:16,470
What about Georgia O'Keeffe?

588
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,261
So, Margaret,
where do you get your ideas?

589
00:50:24,674 --> 00:50:26,660
Well, from the world around me.

590
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,260
And I just love Modigliani's

591
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:31,540
- use of line.
- Modi-what?

592
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,020
- Modigliani.
- For Christ's sake, Margaret.

593
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,030
Dick writes a gossip column.
Stick to the family angle.

594
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,380
Get a gander at little Janie over here.

595
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,744
What a talent! Look at these Keanes.

596
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,420
When you cut open our veins,
we bleed oil.

597
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,070
A little treat!

598
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:00,660
The fourth member
of the Painting Keanes.

599
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,740
Lily, sweetie, how are you?

600
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:06,060
- I'm fine, Dad.
- Good.

601
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,020
- I lost a tooth.
- Really?

602
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:10,980
Did you get in a fight?

603
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,620
No, it fell out.

604
00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:16,740
Well, is the tooth fairy something
I gotta deal with,

605
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,780
or did your mom already handle it?

606
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,260
She handled it.

607
00:51:21,644 --> 00:51:23,700
Good! Good, good!

608
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,900
Janie, come.
Come, show her the kids' room.

609
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,186
And then you girls can join the fun.

610
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,265
Walter, you never told me
you had another daughter.

611
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,260
Didn't I? Sure.
Lily's from my first marriage.

612
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,700
Oh.

613
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,060
Excuse me.

614
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,989
I'm sorry, excuse me.

615
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,622
Walter? May I have a word with you?

616
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,060
- What is going on in there?
- That's Lily.

617
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:10,106
- I'm sure I mentioned her.
- No, you didn't.

618
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,580
- Is she moving in?
- No!

619
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:15,780
Her mother's going to Vegas
for the weekend.

620
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,820
I'm supposed to have her once a month,
but I don't make her mom enforce it.

621
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:20,900
How could you lie
about something so big?

622
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,460
- Oh, she's a very sweet girl.
- I'm sure she is.

623
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:27,107
Well, I put up with your daughter
and never said a peep.

624
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,220
I'm gonna pretend you
didn't say that. Okay?

625
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,740
I'm sorry. Sorry.

626
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,671
Please, let's just get through this.

627
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,580
Any connoisseur
of fine art can tell you,

628
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,580
Walter Keane and Paul Gauguin
have a lot in common.

629
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,420
Both walked away from a career
to travel the globe.

630
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:52,820
Frankly, I'm...

631
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,100
I've known a lot
of famous personalities,

632
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,660
and only a certain type of creature
can live in that spotlight.

633
00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:59,860
Walter had the chops.

634
00:52:59,960 --> 00:53:03,109
Margaret? Not so much.

635
00:53:05,720 --> 00:53:07,980
- I painted that.
- Really?

636
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,306
It's very... evocative.

637
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,222
Sensual.

638
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,101
Oh.

639
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:22,546
"MDH"?

640
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,262
You're so... mysterioso.

641
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,500
Yes. We don't use my name,

642
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,700
since people don't
take women's art seriously.

643
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,300
"MDH" are my initials.

644
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,580
And more.
I'm really interested in numerology,

645
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,380
and, as you know,
seven is a very good number.

646
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,380
- Seven?
- Luckily, my maiden name

647
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:48,700
is Margaret Doris Hawkins.

648
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:51,060
"M" is the 13th letter of the alphabet,

649
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:52,780
"D" is four, "H" eight.

650
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,020
And if you add up one and three of 13...

651
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:00,460
an orgy of color and sun...
sunshine. Excuse me.

652
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,740
...which makes
four plus four plus eight equals 16,

653
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:06,860
and then one plus six equals seven.

654
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,303
Maggie? One second.

655
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,900
Good grief! What are you babbling about?
Long division?

656
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:18,740
Could you please help the world
and shut your mouth?

657
00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:22,262
The only number you want in his head
is the price.

658
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,820
Two nuts that fell from the same tree.
It's insufferable.

659
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,780
Why are we starving
while they print money?

660
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,740
Because that nut's a genius.
He sells paintings.

661
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,340
Then he sells pictures of the paintings.

662
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:35,180
Then he sells postcards of pictures
of the paintings.

663
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,740
I'll bet I could bang one out
in ten minutes.

664
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,104
- It wouldn't have the dopey sincerity.
- The customers won't notice.

665
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:49,628
Christ. It's a movement.

666
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,980
Oh. Dee-Ann!

667
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,060
My God! I thought
I had the wrong address.

668
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,625
I know, it's a really long driveway.

669
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,900
Honestly, I can't believe I live here.

670
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,220
- Whoa.
- I know.

671
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:37,100
We've got two acres,
a pool, five bedrooms.

672
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,460
Though I thought that was excessive,

673
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,346
since there's only three of us here.

674
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,106
It's been so long since I've seen you.

675
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:47,980
I know.

676
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,700
North Beach is 30 miles,
might as well be 300.

677
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,700
Well, you're probably busy hanging out
with all your new rich buddies.

678
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:58,580
Please. Those are Walter's friends.
He brings people by.

679
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,580
- The Beach Boys came by.
- Wow.

680
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,820
- Are you hungry?
- I'm thirsty.

681
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,220
When we moved in, I thought that
a wet bar was kind of extravagant,

682
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,100
but you'd be surprised
how much use you can get out of it.

683
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:21,780
- So how is Walter?
- Oh. Well, he couldn't be happier.

684
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:23,460
He has everything he's ever dreamed of.

685
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,948
And so do you. Fabulous.

686
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,700
Is that your art studio?

687
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,700
Oh. No, you don't wanna go in there.

688
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:37,180
I wanna take a peek.

689
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:41,020
I wanna see what the workspace of
a wildly successful artist looks like.

690
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,180
No, no, no. No.

691
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,460
Dee-Ann, please do not go down there.

692
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:49,745
Look... Look, you can't go in there.

693
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,348
Walter paints here, too.

694
00:56:58,120 --> 00:56:59,665
Is Walter home now?

695
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:05,191
- What the hell's going on?
- Oh. Nothing.

696
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:10,146
I just... invited Dee-Ann over
for some...

697
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:15,111
You know I don't like anyone
seeing my work before it's done!

698
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,260
You and your whole
non-representational crowd are frauds!

699
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,700
Shut up! You're so full of shit, Walter!

700
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,420
Get outta my house!
Get out of my big house!

701
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:48,020
Go back to selling your coat hanger
sculptures in Fisherman's Wharf!

702
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:49,935
Fuck you!

703
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,746
I don't want her ever
invited here again.

704
00:57:58,320 --> 00:57:59,990
I won't.

705
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,420
- Oh, you gonna get that ball?
- Good boy. Oh!

706
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:11,780
Oh! Good boy.
All right, Janie, I'm gonna get to work.

707
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,060
Can I come? No, I can never come.

708
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,547
No, I shouldn't even ask.

709
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,700
Now, how did you get in here?

710
00:58:36,100 --> 00:58:39,367
Didn't you hear? There are no visitors.

711
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,100
This is what it's come to?

712
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,980
You are the only living soul
I can tell my secret to.

713
00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:52,940
Well... I painted them.

714
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,780
I did. Every single one of them.

715
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,824
Every big eye. Me.

716
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:01,622
And no one will ever know but you.

717
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,940
And I'm gonna paint
another one right now.

718
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:11,351
To tick Walter off, maybe I'll paint one
about a crazy girl talking to a dog.

719
01:00:25,059 --> 01:00:28,265
I had a productive day today.

720
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,380
Stumbled onto some hot gossip.

721
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:37,507
Madame Chiang Kai-shek is coming
to town, straight from Taipei.

722
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,820
I think we should present her
with a painting.

723
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,060
Get Dick to flack it.

724
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:49,020
Or the hell with Dick.
I met a new guy at UPI.

725
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:52,860
Maybe... she'd like one
of your street scenes.

726
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:57,460
Yeah, I don't know. I thought you could
whip off a doodle of Chinatown.

727
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:01,745
With a cute little girl,
sort of a big-eyed, slanty-eyed thing.

728
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,740
No.

729
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:08,740
No, no. She is a dignitary,
and she deserves a piece

730
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:10,624
that comes straight from you.

731
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,500
You think?

732
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:15,980
Maybe you're right.

733
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:20,460
She probably doesn't have a Parisian
street scene hanging in her palace.

734
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,028
Unless Madame Chiang Kai-shek
already has a Cenic.

735
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,660
- What's that?
- A Cenic.

736
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,751
That's the painter that painted
all your early work.

737
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:41,500
It's Scenic!

738
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,980
That's my nickname in Paris!

739
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:47,260
All my art school pals
loved my scenic views so much,

740
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,660
they called me... well,
they couldn't pronounce it properly,

741
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,780
so they called me "Cenic."

742
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:55,824
The more you lie, the smaller you seem.

743
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,980
How dare you accuse me of lying!
I'm proud of my early Cenics!

744
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:02,660
Then why did you paint over the name?

745
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,780
A piece of advice,
never use water-based over an oil.

746
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:07,550
It'll just fleck right off.

747
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:13,342
You sound crazy!
For God's sake, you've seen me paint!

748
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,824
No, I haven't.

749
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:22,740
I always thought that I had,
but it's like a mirage.

750
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,547
From a distance,
you look like a painter,

751
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,471
but up close there's
just not much there.

752
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,220
I've been to Paris!
I studied at the Beaux-Arts!

753
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,580
At the Grand Chaumiere!

754
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,260
I spent hours and hours in the Louvre,

755
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,340
staring at the greatness of the masters!

756
01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:45,190
Walter...

757
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,546
have you even been to Paris?

758
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,980
I wanted...
I so wanted to become an artist.

759
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,104
It just never turned out so well.

760
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,180
I don't want you
sleeping here any longer.

761
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:26,544
There are three extra bedrooms
in this house. Go pick one.

762
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,380
How many more of these are in the back?

763
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,860
- I don't know. Maybe 3,000 or so.
- Does the printer owe us more?

764
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,620
Excuse me, miss.
How much is this painting?

765
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:59,220
- Go! What do I pay you for?
- Yes, Mr. Keane.

766
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:00,751
Sorry about that...

767
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,621
It's not even one of mine.
It's one of hers.

768
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,828
This doesn't change anything.

769
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,940
- I know the truth.
- Who cares?

770
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,540
Maybe it's time to shake things up.

771
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,420
- Start putting my name on the MDHs.
- No!

772
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,020
Absolutely not! I already hate myself
for giving you the waifs.

773
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,820
Quiet! Don't raise your voice!

774
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:42,020
Oh, I will talk as loud as I want.

775
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:45,941
No, you won't! Or I'll have you whacked!

776
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:48,620
What?

777
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,900
If you tell anyone,
I'll have you taken out!

778
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:56,344
I know people. Remember Banducci's
cousin? The liquor wholesaler?

779
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,100
Are you threatening me?

780
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,980
Fine, kill me!

781
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,700
My God, I have kept
our secret for years.

782
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:07,709
Never once have I...

783
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,349
Do you know how hard
this has been for me?

784
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,260
I don't have any friends.

785
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,669
I've lied to my own child.

786
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:26,065
Life imitating art... a crying Keane!

787
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,348
Walter, what do you want?

788
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,540
Everything with you is calculated.

789
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,108
We're back where we had our first date.

790
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,869
Look, I don't deny I need you.
You're the one with the gift.

791
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:49,380
Now, there's a shot...

792
01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:53,420
Oh, God, I'm shaking I'm so excited.

793
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,180
The New York World's Fair.

794
01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,860
Seventy million visitors.
Opening day, I unveil my masterpiece!

795
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,701
- What masterpiece?
- Exactly!

796
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,020
What have we been missing all this time?

797
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:10,740
Da Vinci has his Mona Lisa,
Renoir has his Boatmen's Lunch.

798
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,180
Where's my defining statement?

799
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:15,340
You sound insane.

800
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,660
An artist doesn't
just announce his masterpiece.

801
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,220
Why not? Didn't Michelangelo
know he was hitting a home run

802
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,420
when he was on his back
painting the Sistine Chapel?

803
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:27,020
That took him four years.

804
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,620
But here's the best part.

805
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,231
It's for UNICEF.

806
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,820
UNICEF sponsors the Hall of Education.

807
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:39,469
We can finally give back
to the children of the world.

808
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:45,460
Hello, everybody

809
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:50,340
I'm Lowell Thomas, standing in front
of what will soon be

810
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,225
one of the wonders of the modern world.

811
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,580
When people ask me, "Why did she stay?

812
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,147
Was it fear? Lack of confidence?"

813
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,340
Margaret was trapped
in a lie that she'd helped create.

814
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,781
And now the cover-up
was worse than the crime.

815
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:25,980
Why did you have
to promise them Cinerama size?

816
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,460
Because it has to encompass
all children, all races.

817
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:33,980
Hundreds of stricken faces,
marching to infinity.

818
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,500
The ultimate Walter Keane.

819
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:40,380
A publisher says it's good timing
to put out a coffee table book.

820
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:44,420
You know, classy, Tomorrow's Masters.

821
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:48,220
They need my early portfolio,
my artistic evolution.

822
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:52,100
Yes, where are all
of your preliminary sketches?

823
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,340
All of that time
that you spent in art school,

824
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:57,340
and we seem to have waylaid
all of your youthful experiments.

825
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,386
All of those unfinished charcoals.
They've gotta be around here somewhere.

826
01:08:04,801 --> 01:08:07,860
I know you're being sarcastic.
These are good ideas.

827
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,860
Berlin war orphans,
early self-portraits.

828
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,865
Get outta here. I'm trying to work.

829
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,946
Mom! What about dinner?

830
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,269
Mom, are you home?

831
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,501
Mom?

832
01:09:15,648 --> 01:09:17,277
Mom.

833
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:23,584
Jane, this is Walter's studio!
You need to leave!

834
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,425
Mom...

835
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,509
I know.

836
01:09:29,440 --> 01:09:31,660
No, you don't know anything.

837
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,261
I'm not a child anymore.

838
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:37,781
Jane.

839
01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,101
Jane!

840
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,820
Five... six pages?

841
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:02,980
Is there something here I'm missing?
He's like the Hula Hoop.

842
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,900
He just won't go away.

843
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:10,380
"Will be unveiled in the Grand Pavilion
of the Hall of Education.

844
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:14,700
Internationally celebrated artist
has been selected.

845
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:18,340
Will represent the aspirations
of children worldwide."

846
01:10:18,440 --> 01:10:20,144
This is absurd!

847
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:32,100
And who was on the selection committee?

848
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,700
Oh, well, there wasn't a committee,
per se.

849
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,500
We just had a luncheon
with me and Ed and Jerome

850
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:40,940
and Jerome's wife.

851
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,300
Though, technically,
we didn't invite submissions.

852
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,185
Mr. Keane just contacted us directly.

853
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,100
Come on.

854
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:59,862
Wednesday the World's Fair opens,
Thursday our book goes on sale.

855
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,300
Friday I file for divorce.

856
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,583
Oh, why are you always so miserable?

857
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:12,349
Well, I'm going to enjoy my afternoon.

858
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:18,380
Mrs. Teasdale, Walter Keane.

859
01:11:18,480 --> 01:11:23,540
I just wanted to thank you for hosting
this absolutely enchanting soiree.

860
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,107
Well, you are most welcome.

861
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:30,980
Hey, Keane. Have you seen The Times?

862
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:36,180
Honestly, I've been so busy all day
preparing for this lovely occasion.

863
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,123
I think you should read The Times.

864
01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:08,380
How could anybody
say something so cruel?

865
01:12:08,480 --> 01:12:13,020
What do you care? It's my name
being dragged through the mud!

866
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,940
- Is he here?
- Yes.

867
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:19,349
Which is perhaps why it's best
for everybody if you...

868
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:25,784
Who wrote this shit!

869
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:32,460
Mr. Keane, this is not the venue.

870
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,260
Perhaps you'd like to write a letter
to the editor.

871
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,420
What are you afraid of!

872
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,500
Just because people like my work,
that means automatically it's bad?

873
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,460
No, but it doesn't make it art either.

874
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:46,860
Art should elevate, not pander.

875
01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:49,100
Particularly in a Hall of Education.

876
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:52,580
You have no idea!
Why does someone become a critic?

877
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,940
- Because he cannot create!
- Oh, dear. That moldy chestnut.

878
01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:58,100
Don't interrupt!

879
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,700
You don't know what it's like
to put your emotions out there,

880
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,700
naked for the whole world to see!

881
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,580
What emotions? It's synthetic hack work.

882
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,380
Your masterpiece has an infinity
of Keanes,

883
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:13,390
which makes it an infinity of kitsch.

884
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,230
What is wrong with
the lowest common denominator?

885
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:09,271
That's what this country was built on!

886
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,262
I'm gonna sue everybody.

887
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,780
I'm gonna sue everybody.

888
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:21,584
Everybody.

889
01:14:25,480 --> 01:14:29,540
I'm gonna sue this pansy critic.

890
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,420
And sue the World's Fair.

891
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,100
And I'm gonna sue UNICEF.

892
01:14:40,332 --> 01:14:43,700
I'm gonna take down UNICEF,

893
01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,746
and all their precious little
boxes of dimes.

894
01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,220
But I can't sue you, can I?

895
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,220
You are the ultimate betrayal.

896
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:11,061
You failed me with that painting!

897
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:24,220
You crossed over from sentimentality
to kitsch.

898
01:15:25,117 --> 01:15:26,548
Walter, stop it!

899
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,620
You like making me look bad?

900
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:43,902
You enjoy people laughing at me?

901
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,300
Open up! Open up!

902
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,300
Just let me in!

903
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:09,780
I can see you!

904
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,700
I'm gonna burn you out.

905
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:31,025
You're gonna blow up like an atom bomb.

906
01:16:40,564 --> 01:16:42,424
Come on!

907
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:46,980
Where are you?

908
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:03,870
I am so sorry that I was not
the mother I could have been.

909
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,020
I should have done this years ago.

910
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,380
Where are we going?
We don't even have any clothes.

911
01:17:12,876 --> 01:17:15,468
Where we're going, we don't need much.

912
01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:18,266
Hawaii.

913
01:17:20,160 --> 01:17:22,140
- Really?
- Yeah.

914
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:25,060
Yes, Hawaii,
because it's paradise there.

915
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:28,940
There's... birds and flowers
and beautiful colors,

916
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:33,304
and... we're gonna make a new life
for ourselves.

917
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,624
Okay? That's my girl.

918
01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:33,820
- Hello?
- Boy, you were sure hard to track down.

919
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,465
Thought I might never find you.

920
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:38,540
Walter...

921
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,186
I'm a little agitated.

922
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:45,380
I got the strangest papers
in the mail today.

923
01:18:45,480 --> 01:18:49,780
It's a decree of legal separation
and I'd appreciate it if you'd sign it.

924
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,860
Yeah. Aren't you acting a little rash?

925
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,060
Walter, I want a divorce.

926
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,220
It hurts to hear you say these words.

927
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,980
I sure hate that it's come to this.

928
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,500
Well, I suppose
I could agree to a split,

929
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:11,786
as long as... as you assign me all the
rights to every painting ever produced.

930
01:19:15,880 --> 01:19:18,347
- If that's the price.
- Really?

931
01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:22,500
Okay.

932
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:25,980
Well, then we have to consider
future revenue streams.

933
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,740
My God, Walter,
how much more money do you need?

934
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:31,460
If you want me out of your life,
here's my terms.

935
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:36,621
You'll have to paint me 100 more waifs,
100 more Walter Keanes.

936
01:19:41,810 --> 01:19:43,389
Jane?

937
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,340
I'm gonna go to the post office.
You wanna come?

938
01:19:46,440 --> 01:19:48,820
No, I'm gonna go surf with the gang.

939
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,100
Jane, I think that your friends
are a little wild.

940
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,140
Loosen up, Mom. You're impossible.

941
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,980
You move me all the way to Hawaii, and
then when I actually make some friends,

942
01:19:58,080 --> 01:20:00,140
and all you do is complain about them.

943
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:02,740
Maybe you need to make some.

944
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:06,100
You know that I cannot have people
over to the house.

945
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,031
That's right, or else they'd see
the precious paintings.

946
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:54,540
Hello. We're visiting everyone in this
neighborhood with an important message.

947
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:57,700
We have something to share with you
about the wonderful things

948
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,780
that God's kingdom will do for mankind.

949
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,500
Well, from where I'm standing,
I don't see much good anywhere.

950
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,860
Just a lot of pride and thievery
and people treating each other poorly.

951
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,586
Do you know what it says
in Timothy 3:1-5?

952
01:21:10,440 --> 01:21:15,387
"In the last days, critical times
hard to deal with will be here.

953
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,540
For men will be lovers of themselves."

954
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:19,901
Sounds like my ex-husband.

955
01:21:30,483 --> 01:21:31,984
Would you like to come in?

956
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:41,140
It says right here,
"A worshipper of Jehovah

957
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:43,104
must be honest in all things."

958
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:47,470
I just can't believe you
let people in the house.

959
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:49,940
It also says,

960
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:55,271
"No lies speak the truth.
Let the stealer steal no more."

961
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:04,020
Shit, this is crazy, man.
All these copies.

962
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,820
- You're like Warhol.
- No.

963
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,860
Warhol's like me.
That fruit fly stole my act.

964
01:22:12,287 --> 01:22:13,980
My art supplies.

965
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:19,391
The Factory. I had a factory before
he even knew what a soup can was.

966
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,540
Oh, yeah. We got a special guest today.

967
01:22:37,640 --> 01:22:40,820
A world-famous celebrity
So let's give a big "aloha"

968
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:43,020
to Margaret Keane.

969
01:22:44,008 --> 01:22:48,861
So is it true your husband, Walter,
is the top-selling painter in the world?

970
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,900
No, Big Lolo.

971
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,104
Everything you just said is false.

972
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:02,700
One, Walter and I are no longer married.

973
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,460
And two, he...

974
01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:09,106
is not a painter.

975
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:16,707
But... am I mixed up? Ain't he
the guy who does the crazy eyes?

976
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:19,860
No.

977
01:23:19,960 --> 01:23:23,223
Although he has been taking credit
for it for ten years.

978
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:29,622
I am the only painter in the family.

979
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:52,827
Whoo!

980
01:24:07,640 --> 01:24:09,900
You've got to be kidding.

981
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,700
You know what pissed me off?

982
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:14,940
Margaret gave the scoop to some
button-pushing Big Lolo...

983
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:16,100
Jesus!

984
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,740
...instead of a respected
journalist, like myself.

985
01:24:20,649 --> 01:24:22,100
I knew it.

986
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:29,949
Who would want credit?

987
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:41,780
Margaret's gone berserk.
You gotta help me.

988
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:43,300
I need a story.

989
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,900
Wire story, national.
Just to calm things down.

990
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,220
I don't know, Walter.
What she said is pretty inflammatory.

991
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,540
But it's nuts! Doesn't even make sense.

992
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,460
I mean, I studied art
at the Beaux-Arts in Paris.

993
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,380
She was still a little kid in Tennessee.

994
01:24:59,480 --> 01:25:00,820
Look.

995
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:04,829
My early sketchings.

996
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:10,702
Berlin orphans, 1949.

997
01:25:11,560 --> 01:25:13,979
Why would Margaret
do something like this?

998
01:25:14,079 --> 01:25:18,020
She's unhinged.
She left me to move into the jungle.

999
01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,791
Fell in with religious zealots!

1000
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,220
Jehovah's Witnesses.

1001
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:28,900
I really don't know all that much
about them.

1002
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:31,580
They don't celebrate Christmas,
can't salute the flag.

1003
01:25:31,680 --> 01:25:34,180
They won't even let Janie go
to the prom!

1004
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:35,791
Oh...

1005
01:25:37,480 --> 01:25:39,300
He makes me sound crazy.

1006
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,660
He said that I copied him,
that he taught me how to paint.

1007
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:47,180
"She used a slide projector to
trace my work and fill in the colors."

1008
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:50,820
- Which part of that isn't true?
- All of it.

1009
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,580
I feel good about myself
for the first time in years,

1010
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,590
and I can't let Walter
just take that away from me.

1011
01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,546
Hey, is Jehovah okay with suing?

1012
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:08,180
Seventeen million dollars.
The art world is abuzz.

1013
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,900
Today, at federal court, lawyers will
present their opening arguments

1014
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,940
in the case of Margaret Keane vs.
Walter Keane and Gannett Newspapers,

1015
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:18,100
a trial that could produce
the largest libel and slander reward

1016
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,460
- in Hawaiian history.
- Step aside, please.

1017
01:26:33,480 --> 01:26:34,740
- Mr. Keane.
- Yes?

1018
01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:36,180
Are you at all concerned
about the charges?

1019
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:37,900
I'm angry as hell.

1020
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:41,340
But I'm lucky I have the mighty
Gannett News company watching my back.

1021
01:26:41,440 --> 01:26:43,460
I expect this whole trial
dismissed by noon.

1022
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:47,700
My only concern is that somebody
get this woman some psychiatric help.

1023
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:49,940
- She needs it.
- All right. Excuse me, gentlemen.

1024
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:51,340
Excuse me. Excuse me, please.

1025
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,460
Margaret Keane is a public figure,
and as such, she has to prove

1026
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:02,580
that our newspapers published statements
aware of probable falsity.

1027
01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:05,460
Now there's no evidence to suggest
that our editors could have known

1028
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:06,900
these assertions were untrue.

1029
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:13,020
We would like to submit 692 articles
and interviews in which Mrs. Keane

1030
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:17,828
credits Mr. Keane as the painter
of the so-called big-eye children.

1031
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:30,140
How many years back do these go?

1032
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,310
Mrs. Keane has been making
these statements since 1958.

1033
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,508
This is a very strange case.

1034
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:41,260
These paintings hang in museums
all over the world,

1035
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,224
attributed to Mr. Keane.

1036
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,180
And regardless of the truth,
Mrs. Keane has contributed

1037
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,348
immeasurably to the confusion.

1038
01:27:51,160 --> 01:27:52,700
Seems impossible that Gannett's actions

1039
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,500
would ever meet the legal standards
for libel.

1040
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,700
So the charge against them is dismissed.

1041
01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,061
Thank you, Your Honor.

1042
01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,980
- Good luck, Keane.
- Good luck? Where are you going?

1043
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,468
We were charged with libel.
You are charged with slander.

1044
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,860
Mr. Keane?

1045
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,780
You appear to be without counsel.

1046
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:28,063
Would you like a postponement
in order to get your affairs in order?

1047
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:31,340
I've always taken care of myself.

1048
01:28:31,440 --> 01:28:34,660
I don't need a bunch of rent-a-suits
to defend my good name.

1049
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,544
Let's proceed.

1050
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,900
I'm concerned about my old pal,
Walter Keane.

1051
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,700
The Hawaiian heat
may have cooked his brain.

1052
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,300
The only thing he knows
about courtrooms and lawyers

1053
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,580
comes from watching Perry Mason
on television.

1054
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,068
I am the sole creator of my art.

1055
01:29:06,720 --> 01:29:11,020
This is my entire life.
My contribution to the world.

1056
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:15,225
Mr. Keane, I've told you, you must
ask the witness questions.

1057
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,860
If you're acting as your own attorney,
you cannot make statements at this time.

1058
01:29:18,960 --> 01:29:20,141
Yeah. All right.

1059
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,425
It's hard to keep
all these things straight.

1060
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:31,340
Mrs. Keane, how do you expect anybody
to swallow your fantastic story?

1061
01:29:31,440 --> 01:29:32,746
Mr. Keane...

1062
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:43,190
Mrs. Keane, you seem to be a lucid,

1063
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:46,344
reasonably intelligent woman.

1064
01:29:46,480 --> 01:29:52,269
So how could you possibly have gone
along with a far-out scheme like that?

1065
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:57,107
I felt forced into it.

1066
01:29:58,320 --> 01:29:59,785
You had me...

1067
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:04,831
He had me dominated.

1068
01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:09,780
He would rant and rave if I didn't
give him what he wanted.

1069
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:14,020
I was afraid and I didn't see
any option, so I went along.

1070
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:15,780
May I remind you that you're under oath?

1071
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,580
I just gave in.

1072
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,380
I allowed him

1073
01:30:24,480 --> 01:30:26,820
to take credit for the big eyes.

1074
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:29,540
They were a reflection of my feelings,

1075
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:32,780
and it was like losing a child.

1076
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:34,709
But I was weak.

1077
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:40,660
I didn't think that I could leave
and support myself and my daughter.

1078
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:45,946
And he said that nobody would buy
the paintings without his personality.

1079
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:49,502
Maybe he was right.

1080
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:55,070
You are... very talented
at being charming.

1081
01:30:56,440 --> 01:31:00,500
And you are a genius
at sales and promotion.

1082
01:31:01,763 --> 01:31:05,740
It sounds like you've described
two different men.

1083
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:09,620
One a sadistic ogre,

1084
01:31:09,720 --> 01:31:13,540
and the other one
a delightful bon vivant.

1085
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,540
Well, that's you, Walter.
You're Jekyll and Hyde.

1086
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,340
That's an outrageous statement!

1087
01:31:19,440 --> 01:31:21,980
- I demand we strike it off the record!
- Overruled!

1088
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,620
No, you were outrageous,

1089
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,020
constantly criticizing me,
wearing me down,

1090
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,500
saying that you would have me
knocked off if I told the truth.

1091
01:31:30,600 --> 01:31:32,589
- Well, I am telling the truth.
- Your Honor!

1092
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:36,420
- I ask for mistrial.
- You're a liar!

1093
01:31:36,520 --> 01:31:38,700
You don't even know what the truth is!

1094
01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:42,900
You don't even know I'm saying the truth
now, and you cannot shut me up!

1095
01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:47,020
Hey, hey, hey!
This is not a domestic squabble!

1096
01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:48,460
Or maybe it is.

1097
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:52,710
But the rest of us have no interest
in watching you two go at it.

1098
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,904
I'm sorry for my emotion.

1099
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,830
I'm an artist.

1100
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:04,860
Maybe.

1101
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:09,980
Your Honor, I call as my witness

1102
01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:14,185
Mr. Walter Stanley Keane.

1103
01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:21,860
Do you swear to tell the truth,
the whole truth,

1104
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:23,020
- and nothing but the truth...
- Yes.

1105
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,541
- ...so help you God?
- Yes.

1106
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:37,780
Mr. Keane, there seems
to be a lot of innuendo

1107
01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:42,900
and contradictory testimony
about the genesis of the big-eyed waifs.

1108
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,660
Would you mind clarifying to this court

1109
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:49,750
who spawned these paintings?

1110
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,031
Why, I created these children.

1111
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:04,190
The choreography is not necessary.
Just sit down and testify.

1112
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:15,460
I had a wonderful life.

1113
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,460
I was an artist,

1114
01:33:17,560 --> 01:33:20,860
a friend of untold celebrities.

1115
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:24,030
Yet, when I look back at it all,

1116
01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:27,060
to define what really mattered,

1117
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:31,902
it was that I was dedicated
to the hungry children of the world.

1118
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:37,620
It all began in... in Berlin.

1119
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:39,820
After World War II.

1120
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:42,380
The orphans...

1121
01:33:42,480 --> 01:33:44,900
clutching the barbed wire.

1122
01:33:45,000 --> 01:33:49,060
Their bodies lacerated.

1123
01:33:49,160 --> 01:33:51,220
Their fingers scrawny,

1124
01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:53,741
their eyes big.

1125
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:59,900
- Miss Joan Crawford walked up...
- Mr. Keane. Sit down.

1126
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,980
Marilyn Monroe...

1127
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:03,940
Wayne Newton and I...

1128
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,740
Jerry Lewis calls me and says,
"I want you to paint me

1129
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,500
and my family in clown suits."

1130
01:34:08,600 --> 01:34:13,180
Miss Natalie Wood walked up to me
and said,

1131
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:17,020
"This is the greatest single painting

1132
01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:19,740
I've ever seen in my entire life!"

1133
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:21,940
- You're done!
- I'm not finished.

1134
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:23,220
Actually, you are.

1135
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,260
I cannot stomach one more wild tangent
or shaggy dog tale.

1136
01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,340
You're not testifying,
you're filibustering.

1137
01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:29,980
Federal courts are overburdened enough

1138
01:34:30,080 --> 01:34:32,180
without all your
docket-clogging nonsense.

1139
01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,220
We can stay here
until we grow old and die,

1140
01:34:35,320 --> 01:34:36,980
but it's obvious that
this case boils down

1141
01:34:37,080 --> 01:34:39,540
to your word versus Mrs. Keane's word.

1142
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,903
- Mistrial.
- No, it's not a mistrial!

1143
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:48,628
In my opinion, there's only one way
to clear this thing up.

1144
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:51,862
You're both going to paint.

1145
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:58,710
All right, bring those easels down,
set them up on both sides of the bench.

1146
01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:15,260
Now, I'm not looking for a masterpiece.
I don't know much about these things.

1147
01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:19,380
I'm a jurist, not an art critic.
But is one hour enough?

1148
01:35:19,480 --> 01:35:21,230
Yes, Your Honor.

1149
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:29,300
Okay, then. You've both been provided
with identical supplies.

1150
01:35:29,400 --> 01:35:34,028
So, without any further business,
Mrs. Keane, Mr. Keane, the court is yours.

1151
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:42,306
Mr. Keane?

1152
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:47,110
I'm just setting the mood.

1153
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,544
Waiting for the muse to strike.

1154
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,226
Well, your muse has 58 minutes.

1155
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,220
Mr. Keane? Are you all right?

1156
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:29,700
Oh, shit.

1157
01:37:30,277 --> 01:37:33,020
My old shoulder injury just flared up.

1158
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:35,940
I have... bad muscles.

1159
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:40,623
It's... I've been taking medication
for the inflammation.

1160
01:37:41,320 --> 01:37:42,945
So...

1161
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,028
I don't think I'll
be able to paint today.

1162
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,060
The jury found in favor
of Margaret Keane on all points.

1163
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:23,260
She won on charges of defamation,
emotional distress,

1164
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,060
and damaged reputation.

1165
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,100
- Congratulations!
- Congratulations, Margaret!

1166
01:38:27,200 --> 01:38:30,900
- Thank you, thank you very much.
- Congratulations!

1167
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:32,750
Margaret, what are you going
to call the painting?

1168
01:38:34,294 --> 01:38:36,947
Exhibit 224.

1169
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,149
Margaret, can I possibly
have your autograph?

1170
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:47,100
Two things mattered to Margaret:
her daughter and her paintings.

1171
01:38:47,200 --> 01:38:49,980
And after all the crazy turns
the story took,

1172
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,104
she came out at the end
with both of them.
