Short filmTranscript
00:09It was a momentous day when June's mother remarried, and they joined our family.
00:24The illustrious Forsythes.
00:27Oh, so we like to think of ourselves.
00:31The groom, my grandson Jolyon, newly returned from his escapades in Europe to take up his
00:39role as heir to the family firm.
00:42Much to the frustration of his cousin Soames, an ambitious soul unwilling to play second
00:49fiddle to anyone.
00:50I wish your mother could have lived to see this day.
01:03She'll be the making of you.
01:10Frances was a widow, queen of high society, handpicked to cement our status among the London elite.
01:30Of course, every family has its rivalries, its intrigues.
01:35But on this great day of celebration, we put them aside.
02:06That one is my brother James' abode.
02:10But inside it's not a patch on ours.
02:26You can see why my brother wanted her for Jo.
02:29She'll steady him, put an end to all this running amok amid the flashpots of Europe.
02:35But you could have had her.
02:36I'd have made an offer.
02:37I'm obliged to you, Pa, but when the time comes, the bride will be of my choosing.
02:42Well, quite frankly, why would you want to burden yourself with an eight-year-old brat?
02:51My late husband invested with Forsyth & Co., so you might think this is a natural progression.
02:56I'm a prime asset changing hands, and June has long needed a father figure.
03:03Go and be presented.
03:09Grandmamma Anne is the head of our family.
03:19Do I have to like you?
03:21No.
03:22Because I don't like anyone.
03:25It's a good decision.
03:29What's going on?
03:31This is June.
03:34Do you know what a foresight is?
03:38A foresight is someone who knows the value of stock, and family, and repute.
03:48You must never ask questions, never contradict, and never ever fail to come up to scratch.
03:57Don't scare her.
03:58She needs to know what she's letting herself in for.
04:16There's no doubt…
04:33I'll find…
04:37The nên…
04:37gelatin…
04:44Different giants…
04:45It's a song that striped us,
04:45The calculations that per은ereo…
04:45Asarn…
04:45A dignified…
04:52Ten years on, as June's 18th birthday approaches,
04:57the peace and stability of the Foresight world is about to be overturned.
05:05Explain to me why drawing is such a necessary accomplishment for cultured young ladies.
05:11What possible use could it be?
05:13It's exactly what your grandfather said to me when I joined the family firm.
05:16But you used to love drawing.
05:19I love many things.
05:20Will you draw me? Please.
05:23Just a quick sketch.
05:40That is me. Exactly me.
05:42Here, we'll be late for breakfast.
05:47So, I was thinking, for my birthday, instead of a ball, could we just have a picnic?
05:56Just...
05:56Because your mother wouldn't for a moment mind cancelling the adventures we've had for the last ten years.
06:06So, what do we think of Charlie Armstrong?
06:10Is that Sir Roger's boy?
06:12Mm-hmm.
06:13For what?
06:14For June.
06:14Does she like him?
06:15She's never met him.
06:17But I've invited the Armstrongs to the ball.
06:20Along with the Latimers.
06:23Tea.
06:24Pallisters.
06:25Railways.
06:27Carterets.
06:28Lander.
06:28It's a question of who would most benefit the family.
06:32Miles Latimer?
06:34Horatio Carteret?
06:35The Prince of Wales?
06:36Oh, I'm serious.
06:39Hurry with your breakfast.
06:41We have an appointment in town.
06:43Where?
06:44The dressmaker.
06:46Your gown for the ball?
07:00So, Pa, well, something rather exciting.
07:03And costly.
07:05A racehorse, Papa.
07:06Monty's found the very thing.
07:07And when you know the GGs, as I do.
07:11I'd hope, as my brother, you'd want to encourage my husband.
07:14Just as when you wed, I'll happily take your wife under my wing.
07:17If ever there were a reason not to marry.
07:20Who's marrying?
07:20Frances was saying she knows a dozen girls who'd make Soames a splendid wife.
07:24Though I'm sure I don't know who'd be good enough.
07:26I believe she has several coming to June's ball.
07:28Well, thanks for the warning.
07:30I'll go in disguise.
07:32Shall we be off, Pa?
07:35No.
07:36No.
07:37No.
07:38No.
07:40No.
07:41No.
07:42No.
07:42No.
07:43No.
07:43No.
08:00Thank you so much.
08:04Ah, Lady Carteret.
08:09Oh, dear.
08:10We were hoping to keep Miss Louisa to ourselves.
08:13My apologies.
08:15Do you know Mrs. Frances Forsyte?
08:18And her daughter, June?
08:22Good day to you.
08:24How do you do?
08:25We need a gown for June's 18th birthday ball.
08:28I hope you received our invitation.
08:31So kind.
08:34Try not to let Mrs. Forsyte monopolize you.
08:46If you'd please remove your coat.
08:48Yes.
08:50Obviously, this has to go.
08:52Sadly, she's been influenced by her father, who has his own eccentric views on fashion.
08:56Like wearing clothes, which actually let you move.
08:58So, a tight waistline, a bustle, potentially a train.
09:02Certainly, madam, if I may first take measurements.
09:07Yes, of course.
09:13I've other calls to make.
09:14I'll return.
09:23I'll return.
09:28I'll return.
10:02For half a century, we have been preeminent among London's stock-broking elite.
10:08But lately, young upstarts have been snapping at our heels.
10:12So how do we maintain our supremacy?
10:14By not resting on our laurels.
10:17By seeking out new investments, new markets.
10:19By keeping our ear to the ground for information that we may be able to turn to our advantage.
10:24I have something.
10:26So.
10:28Sir Roger Armstrong, Durham mining clerk, is about to croak.
10:33Good God, he's barely 50.
10:34Of course, the family's keeping it close to the chest.
10:36Who will be taking over?
10:38The young lad, Charlie Armstrong.
10:39That wastrel.
10:41Never done a day's work in his life.
10:43Precisely the point.
10:44When the news breaks, the share price will plummet.
10:46Not necessarily.
10:48Could hold steady, provided there's no loss of confidence.
10:50We should sell.
10:52Our stock, client's stock.
10:53Thus ensuring a loss of confidence.
10:54So where do you suggest our loyalties lie?
10:57You know as well as I, a massive sale of stock will panic the markets.
11:00And some of our clients have their entire savings invested with us.
11:02If enough shareholders got together, they could force the company to appoint a steadier hand.
11:07Confidence could be restored.
11:14Excellent.
11:15Anything else?
11:18Have a good day.
11:19Onward.
11:24Obviously we'll sell.
11:26Obviously.
11:30Your mother is very beautiful.
11:33No.
11:34I don't take after her.
11:36Perhaps you favor your father?
11:37Oh, stepfather.
11:40Is he a good one?
11:41The best?
11:43Without him, I'd have run away to see.
11:48What would you be if you could choose?
11:51Free?
11:52To go where I like?
11:54Meet who I want?
11:55Choose my own gowns?
11:59And you?
12:00Would you be anything other than the best kept secret in London?
12:05I'm content.
12:08I'm content.
12:09I'm content.
12:44my father was a visionary in every way except for one fatal flaw
12:48his insistence that the company be passed from eldest son to eldest son
12:52regardless of merit or aptitude ridiculous my brother's had his moments
12:56the company's prospered but as for joe our so-called heir apparent
13:02far inferior to you in every way still there's a long way to go before my uncle dies
13:09and by that time joe's utter unfitness for leadership will be clear
13:13whereas you will have demonstrated your credentials
13:35so
13:41so
13:47so
13:52so
13:59so
14:28you are more like your
14:30mother than you know
14:31she used to tell me we had too much fire
14:33i almost wish i didn't
14:35when she died i wanted you to have a less fraught profession
14:38but now i think i was wrong
14:39had we stayed in paris
14:42we would not have had to scratch about london for tuition
14:45but then i would not have met your dear stepmother
14:48and then where would we be
14:49lost
14:51entirely without the sanity of an outside perspective
14:53my dear
14:57the ballet
14:59it's simply
15:00not a respectable profession
15:02well you can't deny it attracts women of ill repute

22:20I saw the notice and felt compelled to pay my respects.
22:25That's so kind of you.
22:38He was my dearest friend.
22:42I hope family and friends will rally round.
22:46My stepmother is my only family.
22:50Mr. Forsyte!
22:56Oh, we are the reft.
22:58I doubt we shall ever recover.
23:00If there's anything I can do.
23:01If there is.
23:02My husband's financial affairs.
23:04I'm quite baffling.
23:06Any light you could shed.
23:08I'm entirely at your service.
23:16So, what I've done is create the impression of a corset without the whalebone structure.
23:21Where did you learn all this?
23:23I used to be a ladies' maid and would have to repair her dresses.
23:26And when I came to London, I took in mending and set up as a seamstress.
23:31Are you coming, Laura?
23:32Oh, uh, excuse me.
23:33We normally have tea at this hour.
23:36Would you like to join us?
23:38Oh, well, yes, please.
23:40I'm ravenous.
23:48What I'd give for your life.
23:50It's so simple.
23:52Thanks.
23:53Straightforward.
23:55Honestly, you don't know how lucky you are.
24:06Signature here.
24:08And have you had chance to look over the contracts for the Blackfriars purchase?
24:12Remind me.
24:13Land adjacent to the river acquired by the company with a view to development.
24:17Oh, yes.
24:18Canny piece of business.
24:19This is your doing, Joe tells me.
24:20Well, I can't take all the credit.
24:22As the firm's attorney, your judgment is highly regarded, Mr. Cole.
24:33Please, come for me.
24:35Oh.
24:48Any savings?
24:50Property?
24:51My father's wealth was largely in shares.
24:53He was retired and lived off the dividends.
24:56Oh, yes.
24:58Yes, I see.
25:11Would you excuse me for a moment?
25:20Any updates on the Durham share price?
25:23Oh, yes.
25:24As a matter of fact.
25:25Oh, no.
25:27Congratulations.
25:29You did it.
25:31You offloaded every share.
25:33You went behind my back knowing we had agreed to try and save the company.
25:37I considered it's the best course of action.
25:39Did you?
25:40Leaving no time to finalize a rescue package.
25:42So the company has collapsed.
25:44It has.
25:45But you knew would happen.
25:47And still you went ahead with it, disregarding all the consequences.
25:50The consequences are that I've succeeded in protecting the bulk of our clients.
26:00Do you have a moment to look at some contracts?
26:20So I see that the majority of Professor Heron's estate was invested in a mining company.
26:27The Durham mining company?
26:29Yes.
26:31Yes.
26:36Ruined.
26:38Utterly.
26:41How could your father let this happen?
26:44As Mr. Forsyte explained, stock rises and forces no one's fault.
26:48But how are we to live?
26:49We cannot entertain big calls.
26:52Even leave the house without risking ignominy.
26:57And I cannot go to Paris.
26:59Yes.
27:29Well, shall we go and pay our weekly homage to the Emirates?
27:32Emperor. I'd pay a fortune not to endure my brother's wittering. All smiles for Grandmama.
27:41I was thinking to go to Bath next month. What nonsense, Harrogate's far superior if you really
27:47know your waters. Hmm, is this, sure this is real old Worcester? I think my brother's been diddled.
27:58The Carterets and Latimers have confirmed, but for some reason the Armstrongs have sent their
28:02regrets. I can think of a few reasons. Four pits, 2,000 jobs, and a family in mourning.
28:07Need we revisit this? Oh, I realize it's inconvenient to be reminded.
28:12We can't afford to be sentimental. Can we afford to be human?
28:38Do you excuse us?
28:47Disagreements at the office? Yes.
28:48Usual story. Soames the pragmatist, Joe the hothead. Most unseemly. So it's a very
28:56poor example to the clerks.
29:20Will you ever learn? I shouldn't think so.
29:44Dear boy, just can't help himself. He's too impulsive by half.
29:49For the firm or the world in general?
29:51Both. Ours is a cutthroat business. And Soames, you see, and James, they are hard-headed,
29:58whereas Joe is... Led by the heart.
30:02But to prosper. Truly, as we have done, one has to be called unsentimental, as I have been
30:10my whole life. And yet lately I have regretted sometimes.
30:18Well... Easy to say when one has amassed a great fortune.
30:23I believe the boy has the makings of a fine leader.
30:27Once he has acquired a little more... Ruthlessness?
30:31Yes. Of course, I know little of business. But might there ever be a circumstance or a need
30:39for Jolion to step up? Would he then not see the necessity of acquiring a little more steel?
30:48Quite possibly.
30:49Whilst absolutely retaining his principles.
30:54So what would this circumstance be?
31:18The sheer extravagance of this ball.
31:24Of my life? Of this place?
31:28I'm glad you're aware of the advantages you've been given.
31:31But I wish we were poor.
31:33My dressmaker in Soho, her life, it's simple.
31:38She works hard, she's an artist, but...
31:42She answers to no one.
31:45No strictures, no rules, no obligation to marry well.
31:50There's no obligation to marry at all.
31:53Isn't there? In this family.
32:03Yeah, Mama.
32:08Uncanny how like you she is.
32:11They're not even a foresight born.
32:14So she might still escape.
32:18Will you?
32:23On my wedding day, I stood in this very room, brimming with hope.
32:28My whole life ahead of me.
32:32And then?
32:35I became a foresight.
32:45You won't be content till we have a stick to sit on.
32:47But what choice do we have?
32:48How else do you propose to show up our future?
33:00There are other ways that don't involve beggaring ourselves.
33:04Especially when one is in one's prime.
33:24Have we some appointment?
33:27I wasn't...
33:28Ah, good heavens.
33:30Is that...
33:32It's...
33:32Mr. Forsyte.
33:34Did he invite us?
33:36Mr. Forsyte.
33:43Mr. Forsyte.
33:47Mr. Forsyte.
33:51Mr. Forsyte.
33:56Mr. Forsyte.
33:58Mr. Forsyte.
34:00Mr. Forsyte.

38:24I'm not wishing to upstage June's occasion, but Mrs. Cole and I have some news.
38:30The Cole dynasty is about to produce an heir.
38:34That's tremendous.
38:36Any advice on fatherhood?
38:38I hardly think I'm the expert.
38:40June might disagree.
38:42Sir, Miss June is on her way.
38:45Would you excuse me?
38:48I'm so excited.
39:12Miss June Forsyte.
39:16Miss June is on her way.
39:21Miss June is on her way.
39:21Miss June is on her way.
39:22Miss June is on her way.
39:33Miss June is on her way.
39:34Miss June is on her way.
39:34Miss June is on her way.
39:35Miss June is on her way.
39:35Miss June is on her way.
39:36Miss June is on her way.
39:37Miss June is on her way.
39:40Miss June is on her way.
41:43Her entry into society for what is life but a series of entrances and exits.
41:50As one steps out, another steps aside.
41:54As chairman of Foresight & Co., I have labored long for the greater glory in our little empire.
42:01But now I am wondering, has the time come for me to pass over the reins?
42:10To my son, Joe.
42:16I tell you this now not to distract from your special day, but to rather augment it.
42:21A double celebration, if you will, to my son and granddaughter, both stepping up.
42:52Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Byrne, a moment.
42:54There's someone I want you to meet.
42:57Papa!
42:58Papa!
42:59May I introduce you to a new friend?
43:02The most wonderful husband of mine.
43:04Mrs. Elizabeth.
43:08I have to speak with my cousin.
43:18I hope June is pleased with her gown.
43:23How are you here?
43:25How are you here?
43:25Your wife came to my shop.
43:29How long have you been...
43:30In Soho?
43:31A long time.
43:34When are you married?
43:37Widowed.
43:40Since when?
43:43Many years.
43:47You didn't think to tell me?
43:53Our lives are very different now.
43:57I must go.
44:13Louisa.
44:16After I left Venice, you...
44:19You promised to write.
44:20It was a difficult time.
44:22We were traveling.
44:24I had no way of reaching you.
44:26Nothing could ever have come of it.
44:30I was a lady's maid.
44:31You were the heir to a dynasty.
44:35I loved you.
44:39You would not have been allowed to love me.
44:45I must go.
44:47God bless you, Joe.
45:07Interesting decision.
45:10But you approve?
45:11Are you prepared?
45:14Is he...
45:18My brother would never have come to this alone.
45:22It's her doing.
45:23And hats off to her.
45:26A man needs an ambitious wife if he's to scale the heights.
45:31Wasted mission, of course.
45:33The firm will go to the dogs with him in charge.
45:36Simply never had the killer instinct.
45:38No matter.
45:39Others do.
45:52So.
45:53Had you the least idea?
45:59Your father's announcement.
46:00Oh.
46:02Yes.
46:04What on earth possessed him?
46:06I never knew him to be so impulsive.
46:08One wonders what he was like in his youth.
46:11Quite feral, I should imagine.
46:13Not unlike yourself.
46:15Me?
46:16Well, rumor has it, on your grand tour, you blazed across Europe, leaving a trail of broken hearts.
46:25Why not?
46:27We all deserve our moments of madness.
46:34And then we grow up.
46:39And then we grow up.
46:55And then we grow up.
47:17Don't move.
47:21We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:34We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:37We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:38We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:38We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:38We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:38We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:40We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:42We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:44We all deserve our moments of madness.
47:49My apologies for calling unannounced.
47:51I'm afraid my stepmother is out. May I tell you who called?
47:54By all means.
47:55Forgive my presumption, but since I first met you and Mrs. Herron,
48:01well, I suspect you've noticed where my attentions have been directed.
48:06I have.
48:11And may I just say, my stepmother is an admirable woman.
48:20Your stepmother?
48:21Yes.
48:25I sense perhaps a slight confusion.
48:29Admirable, as Mrs. Herron is,
48:32she's not in fact the primary motivation for my visit.
48:39Miss Herron, I'm aware that your life must be in turmoil.
48:45The loss of your father, your financial difficulties.
48:48All I ask is to be considered a friend, a companion.
48:55To me.
48:56To you.
48:59Will you allow that?
49:01A friend would be most welcome.
49:08Tom Christopher.
49:11To me.
49:12To me.
49:18To me.
49:20To me.
49:21To me.
49:24To me.
49:28To me.
49:39And if you do your lessons well, perhaps when I finish Miss Carthard's gown, we might go to the park
49:46and eat ice.
49:48Oh, may we please?
49:51Oh, that'll be the laundress.
49:54I'll get to it.
49:55Thank you, Hannah.
50:03Forgive me.
50:04I was passing and I wanted to thank Miss Spurn for saving the day last night.
50:08Absolutely, Mrs. Paulside.
50:10Oh, you're more than welcome.
50:19So, you've been in London for ten years now.
50:23And before that, Ireland as the ladies' maid.
50:27And Europe?
50:30Did you ever travel?
50:32Italy, perhaps?
50:35Well, I...
50:38Mama, look at this picture!
50:40Well, who are these charming persons?
50:43I'm Holly.
50:45I'm Joss.
50:45We're twins.
50:47But I'm the oldest.
50:48I only just.
50:49And the tallest.
50:51Nobody cares.
50:51I'm Joss.
50:54Is that...
50:55It's what Mama calls me.
50:57Although my proper name's Jolian.
51:09Well, I'm delighted to meet you both.
51:15And thank you again for last night.
51:19Turned out to be quite the occasion.
