:12:03
but to no avail.
:12:05
Mick Jagger plays Fitzcarraldo's sidekick...
:12:08
a simpleminded actor named Wilbur.
:12:12
Hey!
:12:15
Hey! Hey!
:12:17
Ho! Ho!
:12:19
- We want the opera in Iquitos!
- We want the opera in Iquitos!
:12:23
We need opera here!
Don't you want...
:12:25
- We need the opera in Iquitos!
- Music in your souls?
:12:28
- In your ear!
- Come! Come and join us!
:12:34
Jesus.
:12:38
Momento. Un momento.
:12:54
And therefore,
since I cannot prove a lover...
:12:59
to entertain
these fair well-spoken days...
:13:01
I am determined
to prove a villain...
:13:04
and hate the idle pleasures
of these days.
:13:10
Wilbur, you are definitely my man.
:13:22
Five weeks after filming begins,
with 40% of the picture completed...
:13:26
Jason Robards comes down with
a bad case of amebic dysentery.
:13:30
He flies home to recover,
and his doctor forbids him to return to the set.
:13:36
For Herzog,
this is an agonizing setback.
:13:38
He'll have to start all over
with a new leading actor...
:13:42
and his backers are pulling out.
:13:45
For six weeks, Herzog puts
the entire production on hold...
:13:48
while he goes looking for another star.
:13:50
Then Jagger drops out too.
:13:52
Commitments for a new album
and a concert tour...
:13:55
make it impossible for him to stay
the extra months needed...
:13:58
to reshoot the film from scratch.
