Absolutely wooden with grief.
Sends her best but asks to be excused.
1:33:11
Yes, of course, I understand.
I just stopped by to show her this.
1:33:14
Thought it might make her feel better.
It's yesterday's New York Globe.
1:33:17
I'm onto that.
What did you want me to see?
1:33:20
The photograph, ma'am.
It's Charlie Madison...
1:33:22
the first American on Omaha Beach.
1:33:24
It's on the front page
of the New York Globe.
1:33:26
It can't be said to be a very good likeness.
It's mostly his back, isn't it?
1:33:29
This photograph was on the front page
of almost 200 papers in the US alone.
1:33:34
We honestly didn't think
it would catch on that big.
1:33:36
Our press office people just sent it out
as a standard release...
1:33:39
and first thing we knew it was...
1:33:41
Mrs. Barham, this picture was in almost
every London newspaper yesterday.
1:33:44
- I was sure you'd seen it.
- No.
1:33:47
Charlie's a hero, ma'am.
Our public relations office is talking now...
1:33:51
of holding some sort of ceremony
over his grave...
1:33:54
building some sort of monument.
1:33:56
A monument?
1:33:57
Probably nothing more
than a simple bronze plaque...
1:34:00
but the French have indicated
they'd be willing...
1:34:02
to declare Charlie's grave
a French national shrine.
1:34:04
That's depraved.
1:34:06
As soon as I get an extra copy of Life
I'll bring it to you.
1:34:09
What on earth for?
1:34:11
This picture of Charlie
is on the front cover of Life magazine.
1:34:14
That's shoddy.
1:34:16
A French national monument.
1:34:18
I suppose one must expect
that sort of thing from the French.
1:34:21
But you're supposed to be his friend.
1:34:22
Couldn't you've done something to keep
this sordid business out of the press?
1:34:26
We're all very disappointed in Charlie...
1:34:28
but he's paid his price,
and there's no need to rake it up.
1:34:31
I don't think you have this exactly right.
Charlie's a hero.
1:34:34
Mother?
1:34:35
There she is. Now don't say a word to her.
1:34:38
I'll tell her when I think she's well enough.
1:34:45
Going to work?
That's very sensible of you.
1:34:47
I don't know how
you've put up with me this long.
1:34:49
Don't forget that man's still here
to commiserate.
1:34:51
This is his third condolence visit...
1:34:53
and he's going to say comforting things.
So you'll be polite to him?
1:34:56
- He's just a bit sincere.
- I must say I find him grotesque.
