[The Country Girl]

The Country Girl (1956)

The film for which Grace Kelly won her Academy Award. The acting is very good, and Grace is truly wonderful and believable in her role as the wife of alcoholic, which is vastly different from her more famous glamorous ones.

Quotes

Bernie Dodd:Touché.
Georgie Elgin:What?
Bernie Dodd:Touché. In French, that means...
Georgie Elgin:Oh, come on, everybody knows what touché means! You're even younger than I thought!
Georgie Elgin:Naturally, Mr. Dodd, you exaggerate the sentiment to make your point.
Bernie Dodd:Are you for him or against him?
Georgie Elgin:I'm his wife! All I want is complete honesty from both of you. Flattery's cheap, Mr. Dodd. How about a little costly truth?
Georgie Elgin:Don't keep things from me.
Frank Elgin:I can't do it, can I?
Georgie Elgin:Of course you can! You've got to try again and this seems the perfect opportunity.
Frank Elgin:If I do take it, Georgie, I'll need you. Every second. Every step of the way.
Georgie Elgin:I don't have any appointments, Frank. All winter.
Georgie Elgin:Frank, I don't like that cough syrup you bought.
Frank Elgin:Why not? It's a buck a bottle.
Georgie Elgin:Yeah, a buck a bottle is a jim-dandy slogan, but you can read labels as the next one. It's got 22 per cent alcohol in it. I'll get you some lemon and honey in the morning.
Georgie Elgin:The last time we talked, Mr. Dodd, you reduced me to tears. I promise you it won't happen again.
Georgie Elgin:And I think it's high time you stopped looking at everything as if it were a musical comedy and faced a little bit of it yourself!
Georgie Elgin:You want him to become the actor he once was. I'm his wife. I want him just once more as the man he once was: able to stand on his own two feet and face responsibility and you don't do that by bending the truth!
Georgie Elgin:Did I forget to tell you I'm proud?
Georgie Elgin:Do you want me to go? Is that what you want?
Frank Elgin:Yes, yes, if you're in such a great, big hurry, go on!
Georgie Elgin:Have you got the key to the room? Well, keep it. I can get another one from the hotel. And don't wake me up when you come in. Who knows? I may be having a happy dream!
Georgie Elgin:When I was a child, we had a town idiot. He kept insisting that elephant tusks came from piano keys, but he had nothing on you!
Georgie Elgin:He told you that? Was I a hopeless drunk? Did I have fits of depression? Was I possessive? Did I have to have a nurse watch me when he was onstage? Didn't you recognize any of it? That was his big speech in one of the plays you admired him in, when you were a hat-check boy!
Bernie Dodd:May I smoke?
Georgie Elgin:May you smoke?! What is that supposed to be? Homage to a lady? That will never make me forgive you, Mr. Dodd, for what you've said and done.
Georgie Elgin:You take on the job with waving banners and ten hours later, hand it back! You're telling me he has to be watched?! He has to be nursed, and guarded, and coddled, but not by me! I'm going back to New York to the peace and comfort of a quiet room. For the first time in years, I won't have to wonder where he is. He'll be in the strong, sober hands of Bernie Dodd! Can you stand him up on his feet again? Because that's where all my prayers have gone: to see that one, holy hour when he can stand alone again! And I might even forgive you, Mr. Dodd, if you can keep him up long enough for me to get out from under! All I want is my own name and a modest job to buy sugar for my coffee! You can't believe that, can you? You can't believe that a woman is crazy out of her mind to live alone, in one room, by herself!
Bernie Dodd:Listen to me; listen to me!
