:27:03
with whom she falls in love.
:27:06
Though he wishes
to impress Ruth Zelig...
:27:09
Martinez displays
his usual panic in the arena.
:27:12
Good fortune is
with him, however...
:27:15
as the bull gives himself
a brain concussion.
:27:17
Martinez takes credit
for the kill...
:27:19
and cutting off
the bull's ear...
:27:22
presents it to his lover
with great bravado.
:27:25
That evening,
in a jealous rage...
:27:27
Martin Geist returns
to his hotel room...
:27:30
and confronts Ruth Zelig.
:27:32
He demands that she
give him the ear.
:27:35
She refuses.
:27:36
Geist insists upon
possession of the ear.
:27:39
They quarrel furiously,
and Martinez is discovered...
:27:42
hiding in the closet.
:27:44
Geist pulls a revolver
and shoots him.
:27:46
He turns the gun on Zelig's
half sister and kills her.
:27:50
Then he takes his own life.
:27:52
In an orgy
of jealous violence...
:27:55
Leonard Zelig's life
is turned upside down.
:28:13
At first, the news reverberates
around the world.
:28:18
Then, just as quickly...
:28:20
the thrill-hungry public
becomes apathetic.
:28:23
Fresh scandals appear
and make headlines.
:28:25
Events in the Jazz Age
move too rapidly...
:28:28
Iike Red Grange.
:28:31
A population glutted with
distractions is quick to forget.
:28:35
The twenties come
to a crashing climax...
:28:38
and still, Leonard Zelig
is nowhere to be found.
:28:46
Dr. Eudora Fletcher
searches in vain to locate him.
:28:50
When several leads
prove disappointing...
:28:53
she gives up, discouraged.
:28:56
I felt it was a shame.
:28:57
Here was this unique case...
:28:59
that I could make
my reputation on.
