The young Adele finds the
note from her husband telling her he's leaving her. "Adele,
I am leaving you to your career and your admirers. Our son will
never know the kind of a mother he had. - Fabio." |
|
Marie and Paul meet for the
first time, but she retains her mystery when he asks for her
name. "Names mean so little - it's just a rainy night, that's
all." |
|
Adele brings her manager,
Penelli, up to see the resemblance of Marie to her when she was
young. |
|
When all the others leave the restaurant
and Adele (Marie) is stuck with the Count, she notices Paul across
the room and pretends he is supposed to escort her home. Paul
is happy to go along with the pretense, of course. |
|
Count: "Merlin? The
name is familiar - I knew a Merlin years ago - a - Fabio Merlin
-"
Paul: "Why, he was my father!"
Count: "Strange that Madame does not remember the name of
Merlin."
|
|
"If you're sixty, I'm
a hundred and sixty!" Paul tells Adele (Marie) |
|
At a party, Paul discovers
the real Adele in another room. Thinking her to be the housekeeper,
he brings her some snacks from the party - not realizing this
is his mother -- and she does not realize this is her son. |
|
The Count implies that he
was romantically involved with Paul mother, and Paul slaps him
with his gloves and says, "That's a damn lie!" The
Count then challenges Paul to a duel. |
|
"A duel? The Count will
kill him!" |
|
Adele is finally reunited
with her son. |
