The Paradine Case movie plot
-
Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: When I was still at school in Naples it began. I was 16, or so I said. Actually I was younger.
Anthony Keane, Counsel for the Defense: Tragic.
Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: Yes, perhaps. But I didn't think so then. I ran away with a man. Istanbul, Athens, Cairo.
Anthony Keane, Counsel for the Defense: He was much older, of course? Rich. He took advantage of your youth.
Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: He was married, respected. I took advantage of him. Then, as suddenly as it began, it ended. He wearied of me, and I wearied of him. What difference does it make?
Anthony Keane, Counsel for the Defense: There were - others?
Mrs. Maddalena Anna Paradine: Of course there were others!

Sir Simon Flaquer: I don't know where you came by this decidedly unfeminine interest in things!
