The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel
Tower. It sounds fascinating.
:08:04
The title is symbolic?
:08:05
She doesn't really steal
the Eiffel Tower. Does she?
:08:10
What's the story about?
:08:12
It's an action-suspense...
:08:15
...romantic melodrama.
With lots of comedy, of course.
:08:18
And deep down underneath
a substrata of social comment.
:08:22
Oh. Well, if I could see
the pages you've written,
:08:25
I could estimate
the size of the typing job.
:08:29
The pages, my dear girl,
are right here.
:08:33
An Alexander Meyerheim production.
:08:36
The Girl Who Stole
the Eiffel Tower.
:08:39
Original story and screenplay
by Richard Benson.
:08:42
Here, with a page or two
of interestingly photographed
:08:45
establishing shots,
possibly from a helicopter,
:08:47
- a boy and a girl meet.
- But, Mr Benson...
:08:51
Now, after some chitchat,
:08:54
getting-to-know-you stuff,
which I do so brilliantly,
:08:57
we feel an unconscious attraction
between the two.
:09:01
An indication to the audience
of the tremulous beginnings of love.
:09:05
And then, conflict!
:09:07
We can tell by the music
how deeply fraught with danger
:09:11
the whole situation is.
:09:13
And now... our first switch.
:09:16
The audience gasps when they realise
they've been fooled.
:09:20
Things are not what they seem.
Not at all.
:09:24
In fact, the whole situation
is completely reversed,
:09:28
involving
the magnificently ingenious
:09:32
switch... on the switch.
:09:38
Amazed by the sudden turn of events,
:09:41
the boy and girl realise how gravely
they've misjudged each other.
:09:49
At that moment,
:09:51
the music turns ominous once more.
:09:53
They become aware of the danger
that they're in and the chase is on!
:09:59
Screaming tyres, rooftops,
