1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074
2
00:00:50,402 --> 00:00:53,536
Jacques Dufilho lends his voice
to the reader of Dimanche-Écho.
3
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,690
Pity poor Pasta, She is too beautiful,
the other singers are jealous of her.
4
00:00:59,790 --> 00:01:02,375
There's no such thing
as bad advertising.
5
00:01:02,807 --> 00:01:04,697
Sunday Echo, please.
6
00:01:04,838 --> 00:01:06,268
La Pasta slaps a critic!
7
00:01:06,498 --> 00:01:08,811
The Divine, the Diva,
8
00:01:09,397 --> 00:01:13,366
the golden voiced scandalous one,
whose star shines in the firmament,
9
00:01:13,970 --> 00:01:17,109
Pasta, is once again
being talked about.
10
00:01:17,808 --> 00:01:20,104
Readers of Dimanche-Écho,
11
00:01:20,816 --> 00:01:25,120
live as if you were there
on that historic evening.
12
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:50,464
Signor Pitti-Pitti,
husband of Pasta, declares:
13
00:01:51,316 --> 00:01:53,996
Alexandrine is an
angel of gentleness.
14
00:01:54,117 --> 00:01:55,800
Tortoni provoked her and now
15
00:01:55,921 --> 00:01:58,759
she has toothache.
Poor thing!
16
00:02:00,748 --> 00:02:04,248
Dimanche-Écho
reveals the Diva’s secret.
17
00:02:04,740 --> 00:02:08,480
A moral shock
suffered during childhood.
18
00:02:08,704 --> 00:02:10,344
Hypersensitive,
19
00:02:10,594 --> 00:02:13,422
she could not bear
her parents' divorce.
20
00:02:13,977 --> 00:02:15,982
Doctor Boro declares:
21
00:02:16,274 --> 00:02:18,597
“She has the Argos complex”
22
00:02:19,075 --> 00:02:22,075
Unpublished photos on Pasta
It’s the family album.
23
00:02:23,325 --> 00:02:27,440
Alexandrine comes to
take her first singing lesson.
24
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:48,800
A tender feeling arises
between these elite souls.
25
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:51,500
Yes, it’s love.
26
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,890
Alexandrine,
give me your hand
27
00:02:55,633 --> 00:02:59,393
and I will make you the
greatest singer in the world.
28
00:03:00,422 --> 00:03:02,807
And it’s the limelight!
29
00:03:28,854 --> 00:03:33,088
Triumphant, but
Pasta doesn't seem happy.
30
00:03:34,612 --> 00:03:37,138
The famous
Madame Verdure declares:
31
00:03:37,935 --> 00:03:41,395
I read in the cards
that at the height of glory,
32
00:03:41,787 --> 00:03:44,457
she would lose her
most precious possession:
33
00:03:44,578 --> 00:03:45,976
her voice.
34
00:03:46,373 --> 00:03:48,185
The cards never lie!
35
00:03:54,793 --> 00:03:58,053
And this is the announcement
of her arrival in the capital
36
00:03:59,358 --> 00:04:01,600
to sign a fabulous contract.
37
00:04:03,147 --> 00:04:05,912
The Prima Donna's extravagances
38
00:04:06,356 --> 00:04:08,860
alienate many
of her sympathisers.
39
00:04:09,384 --> 00:04:10,775
Poor thing!
40
00:04:17,190 --> 00:04:20,995
The famous financier
Maxime Kolinski
41
00:04:21,816 --> 00:04:24,935
gives a party in her honour
on his yacht.
42
00:04:28,153 --> 00:04:31,391
The man who found oil
under the Champ-de-Mars
43
00:04:31,902 --> 00:04:34,667
is an irresistible seducer.
44
00:04:36,226 --> 00:04:38,313
It's true, he's
a handsome fellow...
45
00:04:46,714 --> 00:04:50,640
Maxime Kolinski shows her
around his estates.
46
00:04:56,460 --> 00:04:58,600
Funny sort of people, though.
47
00:05:06,957 --> 00:05:08,938
That’s the way of the world, that.
48
00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:10,483
To the divine,
as a tribute to genius
49
00:05:28,619 --> 00:05:30,190
Ah, he's got some nerve.
50
00:05:33,190 --> 00:05:35,400
Pitti-Pitti procrastinates.
51
00:05:36,392 --> 00:05:38,548
He feels a storm brewing.
52
00:05:40,127 --> 00:05:43,908
All the beauties of the Earth
will belong to you.
53
00:05:46,677 --> 00:05:48,934
Alfredo, I must talk to you.
54
00:05:50,364 --> 00:05:51,950
I no longer love you.
55
00:05:52,331 --> 00:05:53,723
I love another
56
00:05:54,034 --> 00:05:56,334
who understands me
and will make me happy.
57
00:05:56,434 --> 00:05:58,770
You must step aside.
Jump!
58
00:05:59,934 --> 00:06:01,106
Jump!
59
00:06:04,432 --> 00:06:06,135
I will consult my lawyer!
60
00:06:06,322 --> 00:06:08,315
Divorce!... Separation!...
61
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:10,628
It's a family misfortune.
62
00:06:10,756 --> 00:06:13,576
"A Don Juan" between
Pasta and her husband!
63
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:15,501
Poor guy!
64
00:06:16,555 --> 00:06:18,165
A playboy, pff!
65
00:06:19,938 --> 00:06:23,492
There is no romance between
Maxime Kolinski and me.
66
00:06:24,394 --> 00:06:25,605
Says you!
67
00:06:26,311 --> 00:06:28,349
I'd be surprised
if he married her.
68
00:06:31,298 --> 00:06:32,719
It's his dear old mum.
69
00:06:33,376 --> 00:06:36,899
For the first time
in my life, I am in love.
70
00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:51,531
The Maestro gradually
regains the upper hand.
71
00:06:52,375 --> 00:06:54,140
I have discovered,
he said,
72
00:06:54,258 --> 00:06:57,172
a vocal phenomenon
whom I have put to work.
73
00:06:58,486 --> 00:06:59,873
In six months,
74
00:06:59,994 --> 00:07:01,749
Alexandrine Pasta
75
00:07:01,870 --> 00:07:04,900
will be nothing
but her pale shadow.
76
00:07:05,297 --> 00:07:07,312
She is the only
singer in the world
77
00:07:07,805 --> 00:07:10,617
mounted in stereo.
78
00:07:12,641 --> 00:07:14,023
That's odd.
79
00:07:15,860 --> 00:07:17,453
Miss Mimi,
80
00:07:17,852 --> 00:07:20,140
isn't quite ready yet.
81
00:07:27,658 --> 00:07:29,760
You'll never get anywhere!
82
00:07:31,186 --> 00:07:35,412
A sudden inspiration
illuminates Pitti-Pitti.
83
00:07:37,290 --> 00:07:39,438
Listen to La Pasta, he said.
84
00:07:40,187 --> 00:07:41,781
Sing with her.
85
00:07:45,980 --> 00:07:47,637
Oh, it's magic!
86
00:07:51,904 --> 00:07:54,224
The miracle has
been accomplished.
87
00:07:54,631 --> 00:07:57,519
A new Prima Donna is born.
88
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Alexandrine enjoys
the happiness of being adored
89
00:08:03,103 --> 00:08:05,814
by a young,
handsome, spiritual man.
90
00:08:06,494 --> 00:08:09,322
I would have him
a pauper, she said.
91
00:08:16,884 --> 00:08:18,555
"They're stealing my voice"
says Pasta!
92
00:08:18,655 --> 00:08:20,673
Serves her right!
93
00:08:22,766 --> 00:08:26,284
Mademoiselle Mimi's
debut is dazzling.
94
00:08:27,502 --> 00:08:29,498
She challenges Pasta.
95
00:08:30,061 --> 00:08:32,568
Who takes up the gauntlet.
96
00:08:33,162 --> 00:08:35,014
There is only one Pasta!
97
00:08:35,603 --> 00:08:38,110
All of Paris wanted
to witness
98
00:08:38,228 --> 00:08:41,240
the confrontation of
the two Prima Donnas.
99
00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:00,634
There! That's it!
100
00:09:04,461 --> 00:09:08,680
All her admirers abandon her
and run to Mademoiselle Mimi.
101
00:09:12,196 --> 00:09:13,548
To the divine,
as a tribute to genius
102
00:09:15,664 --> 00:09:17,500
He needs them all!
103
00:09:22,487 --> 00:09:24,440
I have always loved you.
104
00:09:24,972 --> 00:09:27,042
It was a moment of madness.
105
00:09:29,750 --> 00:09:31,652
It’s just like the movies!
106
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:10,633
There will still be for
La Pasta, a song in the air...
107
00:10:12,442 --> 00:10:14,476
Subtitles: corvusalbus & zaza
107
00:10:15,305 --> 00:11:15,273
