Speaker 1: Are you burned up at the high price of turkeys,
Speaker 1: can't get eggs for your pumpkin pie? Want to get
Speaker 1: away from it all?
Speaker 2: We offer you escape.
Speaker 1: You're trapped in a remote valley of the Andes, walled
Speaker 1: in by sheer rock precipices, and surrounding you. Closing in
Speaker 1: on you is a band of blind men who want
Speaker 1: your eyes.
Speaker 2: Escape, Produced and directed by William N. Robson, and carefully
Speaker 2: plotted to free you from the four walls of today
Speaker 2: for a half hour of high adventure.
Speaker 1: To night, we escape to the high mountains of Ecuador
Speaker 1: and to a remarkable world where sight is unknown, as H. G.
Speaker 1: Wells imagine it in his curious story The Country of
Speaker 1: the Blind.
Speaker 3: My name is Ibara. I am a mining engineer in Quito, Ecuador,
Speaker 3: high in the towering Andes, and up until a year ago,
Speaker 3: my chief sport.
Speaker 4: Was mountain climbing.
Speaker 3: My last climb was an attempt to scale the remote
Speaker 3: and forbidding peak of Periscota Pedal, the twenty thousand foot
Speaker 3: crag unconquered by man. It is unconquered, still three thousand
Speaker 3: feet from the icy summit. Our party turned back and
Speaker 3: fled for their lives. All of us escaped except one,
Speaker 3: a guide named Nunes, who slipped and fell over the precipice,
Speaker 3: disappearing under the vast chasm that yawned ten thousand feet
Speaker 3: beneath us. The horror of that man's fall has haunted
Speaker 3: my dreams for a year. Because of it, I have
Speaker 3: forsaken mountain climbing for the rest of my life, and
Speaker 3: that decision still stands even though today I have seen Nunes.
Speaker 3: He was sitting on the steps of my shack when
Speaker 3: I arrived at the mine this morning. At first I
Speaker 3: didn't recognize him. He was so much changed. I thought
Speaker 3: he was a ragged beggar, asking.
Speaker 4: Alms, is.
Speaker 5: It you Signori Bara?
Speaker 4: My name is Ibar. Yes, what do you want?
Speaker 5: You do not know me, Senor?
Speaker 4: I know I you look like a man I knew once.
Speaker 4: But he is.
Speaker 3: Dead, dead on the slopes of Periscota Petl Nunes.
Speaker 4: No, it couldn't be.
Speaker 5: You, Nunas. That is my name, Senor, at least that
Speaker 5: is the name I remember.
Speaker 4: But you fell. I saw you, for it's impossible that
Speaker 4: you could have lived.
Speaker 5: Perhaps the gods of the mountin had some reason to spare.
Speaker 3: Me, known as if we'd had any idea that you
Speaker 3: were alive, but you went down down thousands of feet.
Speaker 3: We couldn't even attempt to find your body. I know
Speaker 3: I do not blame you. You could not have reached me,
Speaker 3: and if you had, I I should not have welcomed
Speaker 3: you at first, but then later. What do you mean, Nuness, Senor?
Speaker 3: You will not believe what I have to tell. I
Speaker 3: can hardly believe that I'm seeing you talking to you.
Speaker 3: But what has happened to you? You remember that night,
Speaker 3: the night I fell. Yes, we had been toiling all day,
Speaker 3: inching our way up a steep ice wall. In this
Speaker 3: darkness came we found a narrow ledge, fairly three feet wide.
Speaker 3: It's not very wide, but we can get our shoulder
Speaker 3: wall up, cut off some of this wind hell.
Speaker 5: That'll be welcome, yes, but first we'll rest a moment.
Speaker 4: Look at that icy devil up there, glistening in the moonlight.
Speaker 3: There's another three thousand feet of sheer ice wall to
Speaker 3: the top, and I can see why no one's ever
Speaker 3: made it.
Speaker 5: I think we should go on.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Nus.
Speaker 5: I think it is not my place to say, Senor,
Speaker 5: I was hired to guide you to the top. I agreed,
Speaker 5: What do you really think if I believed in the
Speaker 5: God of the mountain as the Indians do, I should
Speaker 5: be frightened? Now?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 5: Because we have invaded the forbidden circle. This part of
Speaker 5: the Andes is unmapptain unknown, senor, and therefore shrouded in superstition. Eh,
Speaker 5: it is an easy thing to believe strange things in
Speaker 5: this white loneliness.
Speaker 3: Some of the legends are really fascinating. I've heard of
Speaker 3: once something about a hidden valley called the Country of
Speaker 3: the Blind.
Speaker 5: Yes, it is supposed to be somewhere down there below us,
Speaker 5: a fertile valley which was settled many centuries ago and
Speaker 5: then cut off by the great landslide of Rocca.
Speaker 4: But why are the Country of the blind?
Speaker 5: Well, even before it was isolated, the people developed a
Speaker 5: strange illness. All of them slowly went blind. After that
Speaker 5: their children were born blind. And the legend is that
Speaker 5: the valley was the home of the mountain gods. It
Speaker 5: was too beautiful for human eyes.
Speaker 2: But it's all nonsense.
Speaker 3: Yes, of course, would be pleasant to find it, though,
Speaker 3: you know the old proverb. In the country of the blind,
Speaker 3: the one eyed man is king.
Speaker 5: I doubt that we could ever find it. I even
Speaker 5: doubt if it exists, of course not.
Speaker 3: I was only joking.
Speaker 5: Yes, But now, if you're arrested, we'll make the shelter
Speaker 5: wall right.
Speaker 4: I'll give you a hand in a minute.
Speaker 2: Believe me, Abara.
Speaker 4: For two pays ofs I give up this climb. I
Speaker 4: never realized that on Earth I'm slipping.
Speaker 5: Hang on, no ned, no ne. In one horrible instant,
Speaker 5: my foot had slipped on the treacherous ledge and I'd
Speaker 5: gone over, falling far out into the icy black night,
Speaker 5: falling down down, I fell perhaps a thousand feet. Then
Speaker 5: I felt a heavy, stinging impact of snow. I'd fallen
Speaker 5: on an almost perpendiculous snow slope, and I was sliding down, down,
Speaker 5: tumbling over and over. And then suddenly I realized that
Speaker 5: my own motion had almost stopped, and it was the
Speaker 5: snow that was moving. I was riding an avalanche. At
Speaker 5: almost the same moment, I went over the second precipice.
Speaker 5: It was higher in the first, much higher, perhaps four
Speaker 5: thousand feet. I fell with the snow for what seemed minutes,
Speaker 5: every second, expecting the terrible final impact. But the impact
Speaker 5: never came. Miracle of miracles, that sheerwald blended almost imperceptibly
Speaker 5: into another steep snow slope, and again I was sliding gradually.
Speaker 5: As the ark of the slope curved away, I felt
Speaker 5: myself slow down, and finally I rolled to a stop
Speaker 5: and lay still. When I awoke, it was morning, and
Speaker 5: I was covered with snow. I shook off the cold
Speaker 5: white blanket on my chest and rested a moment, and
Speaker 5: then I rolled over on my back and looked up.
Speaker 5: My heart almost stopped as I saw from where I'd fallen,
Speaker 5: why the mountain towered ten thousand feet above me. Then
Speaker 5: carefully I felt it myself. My clothes were torn. I
Speaker 5: I was bruised and bleeding. I I ached in every muscle,
Speaker 5: but I had not a single broken bone. I lay
Speaker 5: there and offered up a prayer to the gods of
Speaker 5: the mountain. Far below me lay a lush valley sparkling
Speaker 5: in the morning sunlight. I could see the stately trees
Speaker 5: and the green meadows fresh with dew. I started down
Speaker 5: the mountain, but it was still an arduous descent. The
Speaker 5: farther down I got, the more I realized the beauty
Speaker 5: of the scene. Why this was a hidden paradise I'd
Speaker 5: fallen into and I was the first man ever to
Speaker 5: see it, so I thought, But I was wrong. I
Speaker 5: realized that first when I saw the cultivation in the meadows,
Speaker 5: and then the walks, well kept stone walks laid in
Speaker 5: a symmetrical pattern all over the valley. And then I
Speaker 5: saw them. There were men and women lying under the
Speaker 5: trees and resting in the fields. Near By, a collection
Speaker 5: of windowless huts marked a village, and the plastering of
Speaker 5: the houses was done in a wild variety of colors.
Speaker 5: I thought to myself, But plaster who did that must
Speaker 5: have been blind as a bat. Then I saw two
Speaker 5: of the men quite close to me. They were standing
Speaker 5: on a bridge over the little stream. They were dressed
Speaker 5: in odd, loose clothing, and there was a strange look
Speaker 5: about their faces. They failed to notice me as I approached,
Speaker 5: until I shouted. Suddenly. They looked up attentively in my direction.
Speaker 5: I waved wildly at them, but they took no notice.
Speaker 5: Where the fools must be blind? Blind? Could it be
Speaker 5: that I have fallen into the country of the blind? Hum?
Speaker 5: In the country of the blind, a one eyed man
Speaker 5: can be king, ah, hello there, you needn't be afraid
Speaker 5: I won't hurt you. I come in peace.
Speaker 4: It is a man or a spirit come down from
Speaker 4: the rocks.
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm a man all right, just like you. But
Speaker 5: I've had a miraculous escape, and now I find myself
Speaker 5: here in.
Speaker 4: Your valley, valley, valley, come hither, let me fail of you.
Speaker 5: Yes, certainly, hear my arm is my face? You see?
Speaker 5: I am a man, I like yourself.
Speaker 2: Here.
Speaker 5: Feel my lips they move with speech. Oh, careful, they gently.
Speaker 5: Those are my eyes, eyes, eyes, that is strange.
Speaker 4: Feel this career, Yes.
Speaker 5: I feel careful. Feel the eyelids flutter.
Speaker 6: He is but imperfectly formed. Some strange bulge there unseemly.
Speaker 5: No, No, you see your eyes are shrunken in but
Speaker 5: minor whole.
Speaker 6: I can see see Pedro. He is a strange wild one.
Speaker 6: Where does he come from?
Speaker 4: He must have come down out of the rock.
Speaker 5: No, from over the mountains, out of the country beyond
Speaker 5: there where men can see, from Bogota, where there a
Speaker 5: hundred thousand people in a city, stretches out of sight sight?
Speaker 6: What strange words he uses without meaning? And feel the
Speaker 6: costness of his hair, Like allamas our fathers have told us,
Speaker 6: men may be made by forces of nature. It is
Speaker 6: the warmth of things and moisture and rottenness. Let us
Speaker 6: lead him to the elders.
Speaker 5: But no one need lead me. I can see see, Oh, yes,
Speaker 5: of course I can hit it. I I didn't see
Speaker 5: your water bucket.
Speaker 6: His senses are still imperfect. He stumbles and talks on
Speaker 6: meaning words. Lead him by the hand, pedro.
Speaker 5: But look, I huh, oh, well all right. These people
Speaker 5: had been blind for centuries, they had forgotten even the
Speaker 5: words associated with seeing. And they thought I was an idiot,
Speaker 5: only half formed, especially when they let me into the
Speaker 5: pitch blackness of one of their windowless huts and I
Speaker 5: stumbled for someone.
Speaker 4: Hey, thousand pardons, madamea si Rotta. He's a clumsy one.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry I fell down. I I couldn't see in
Speaker 5: the darkness.
Speaker 7: Who is this and what is he saying?
Speaker 6: He is but newly formed, good father. He has come
Speaker 6: down from the rocks. He stumbles as he walks, and
Speaker 6: mingles words that mean nothing with his speech.
Speaker 4: He is a wild man out of the rocks.
Speaker 5: No, I come from Bogota over the mountains.
Speaker 4: You hear Bogota. He uses wild words. His mind is
Speaker 4: hardly formed. He has only the beginnings of speech.
Speaker 5: Yes, I come from the great world where men have
Speaker 5: eyes and see.
Speaker 4: That must be his name, Bogota.
Speaker 6: He stumbled twice as we came through them.
Speaker 4: He must be tad.
Speaker 5: No, you don't understand. I can see, but not in
Speaker 5: the dark. To you, darkness or light is all the same.
Speaker 5: But to me, to us who can see, to us
Speaker 5: outside in the world, beyond the mountains.
Speaker 7: Mountains, what are mountains?
Speaker 5: Very well, then beyond the rocks.
Speaker 7: There is nothing beyond the rocks. That is the end
Speaker 7: of the world.
Speaker 5: But surely you must realize that the sky above covers
Speaker 5: more than just this valley.
Speaker 7: Sky above there is nothing above but the roof of rock.
Speaker 7: He is very raw, my children, he shall have to
Speaker 7: be taught from the beginnings, and I'll take him away,
Speaker 7: feed him.
Speaker 4: It shall be done, grand father.
Speaker 7: But guide him, see that he does not stumble over
Speaker 7: My daughter, Againe.
Speaker 8: Do not fear father. I shall guide him myself and
Speaker 8: feed him very well. Come take my hand.
Speaker 5: Thank you it. It will be a pleasure to get
Speaker 5: outside again, out of this darkness.
Speaker 8: Come this way.
Speaker 5: Yes, what is your name? Maydme sair Rothe mine is
Speaker 5: one one noons, Oh, oh, sunlight, Oh, this is better.
Speaker 5: And now I may look at you. Why you're beautiful?
Speaker 5: I cannot tell you what a wonderful thing you are
Speaker 5: to see.
Speaker 8: Please, you must be careful. Why if you do not
Speaker 8: learn quickly and see speaking such strange words, they may
Speaker 8: not be so kind to you. They might be angry.
Speaker 8: They might even destroy you.
Speaker 5: This thought had not occurred to me, and suddenly I
Speaker 5: had a twinge of fear. Still, the proverb kept running
Speaker 5: through my mind. In the country of the blind, a
Speaker 5: one eyed man is king. But try as I would,
Speaker 5: I cannot make them understand my wonderful gift of sight.
Speaker 5: They thought me stupid and untaught, almost an idiot. Day
Speaker 5: by day I learned their peaceful ways, but they could
Speaker 5: not learn mine. I was beginning to get on my nerves.
Speaker 6: There's two perhaps Bogota, Bogota, Come hither, Bogota, you move
Speaker 6: not no, and I won't.
Speaker 5: You'll be I'll show you.
Speaker 2: I'll leave them trample not on the grass.
Speaker 5: It is not allowed. How did you know I stepped
Speaker 5: on the grass? I heard, of course, heard, but I
Speaker 5: didn't make a sound.
Speaker 6: Why do you not come when I called you?
Speaker 5: And you not hear? The path as you walk, I
Speaker 5: can see it.
Speaker 6: There is no such word as sea. Seise this folly
Speaker 6: and follow the sound of my feet.
Speaker 5: Oh, my time will come.
Speaker 6: You will learn. There is much to learn in the world.
Speaker 5: Has no one ever told you? In the country the blind,
Speaker 5: the one eyed man is king blind?
Speaker 3: What is blind?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: Never mind, Bogota, I must warn you. Just keep quiet
Speaker 6: and learn, and stop this nonsense about seeing.
Speaker 5: Nonsense, is it. I'm sure you have taken enough of
Speaker 5: your insults. Informed mind, got no sense yet I'll be
Speaker 5: king here. I can see and I'll be king Bogota.
Speaker 5: Stop it. No, I'm through with your orders. I'll show
Speaker 5: you what an advantage site can be. I can hit
Speaker 5: you and hurt you, and you can't see me to
Speaker 5: strike back, Bogota.
Speaker 2: Put down that spade, you devil.
Speaker 5: Your ears a sharp, aren't.
Speaker 2: They, Bogota.
Speaker 5: There must be no file, so I haven't. I'll hit
Speaker 5: you if you come any closer.
Speaker 6: I swear I will put down that spade and come
Speaker 6: off the grass.
Speaker 5: You don't understand. You are blind and I can see.
Speaker 5: I can see, Bogata. I'll hurt you.
Speaker 3: I swear, I will.
Speaker 6: Put down that spade.
Speaker 4: Leave me alone.
Speaker 5: I hit him with a spade and ran over the
Speaker 5: wall outside the valley, back to the rocks, back to
Speaker 5: the cliff I'd come from. When I reached that sheer
Speaker 5: rock wall, I knew there was no place to go.
Speaker 5: For two days and nights I stayed outside the valley.
Speaker 5: I grew hungry and cold, and I realized the hopelessness
Speaker 5: of my position. I was trapped. I must spend the
Speaker 5: rest of my life here. There was no way out.
Speaker 5: So I went back. I confess, so, chief of the elders,
Speaker 5: I was mad. I admit I was only newly made.
Speaker 7: That is better. And do you still think you can see?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 5: No, no, that was folly. The words mean nothing, less
Speaker 5: than nothing.
Speaker 4: And what is over here rock?
Speaker 5: There's a roof above the world, a roof of rock,
Speaker 5: and very smooth, very well. And please, before you ask
Speaker 5: me any more, give me food or I shall die.
Speaker 7: Very well. Give him food.
Speaker 5: Me, dinosaurtes.
Speaker 7: And after that we must put him to the most
Speaker 7: menial tasks in the village, guard him well. Perhaps perhaps
Speaker 7: he shall learn yet.
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you, Oh, that is better. You are kind,
Speaker 5: Madna s Rotte, very kind.
Speaker 8: I am glad you came back.
Speaker 5: You are if they were all like you. I should
Speaker 5: never have run away.
Speaker 8: What was that word you said?
Speaker 5: I was beautiful? You are, or even your eyes they're
Speaker 5: not shrunken depressions like the others.
Speaker 8: It means something nice, beautiful.
Speaker 5: Something very nice. Me, Dina Sorotti, tell me, why is
Speaker 5: it you have no husband?
Speaker 8: I I have a disfigure man. These long hairs, oh.
Speaker 5: Your eyelashes, Oh, but they're beautiful.
Speaker 8: They are considered a disfigurement.
Speaker 5: You're the most lovely girl in the valley. But they
Speaker 5: wouldn't know, would they.
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 5: You have no lover, No, Dinocerotti, what do you think
Speaker 5: of me? Do you think of me as an idiot
Speaker 5: like all.
Speaker 4: The rest of you?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 8: No, you have much to learn, but you will learn it,
Speaker 8: I'm sure. And you are kind and gentle, and your
Speaker 8: voice is so You speak words that are soft and warm.
Speaker 8: No one has ever spoken such words to me.
Speaker 5: Then I shall speak them often, Mednoceroti, you are the
Speaker 5: only one in this valley, in this whole world I
Speaker 5: care for. And so it began, I, the village idiot,
Speaker 5: the slave boy who dreamed to be king. I, with
Speaker 5: my eyes still whole, fell in love with Medinocerote, the
Speaker 5: daughter of the elder of the village. Only to her
Speaker 5: could I open my heart without fear? Only to her
Speaker 5: could I speak of the beauty I could see around me. Oh,
Speaker 5: it is a beautiful valley, me, Dinocerote, green with grass,
Speaker 5: and yellow with sunlight, and flowers, bright flowers dotting the hills,
Speaker 5: and in the cool of the night, the stars gleam
Speaker 5: like diamonds in the sky.
Speaker 8: The words sound lovely, But what are stars?
Speaker 5: Stars? Why the.
Speaker 8: No? You wouldn't understand, and what do you mean in
Speaker 8: the cool of the night you still get that confused one.
Speaker 8: The night is warm, the day is cool.
Speaker 5: Oh, no, it is you here who have them backwards,
Speaker 5: because the darkness means nothing to you. You work in
Speaker 5: the cool of the night and sleep in the heat
Speaker 5: of the day.
Speaker 8: But you are teasing me.
Speaker 5: No, Oh, what does it matter. All that matters is you, You,
Speaker 5: you here beside me, my Dinosarote. I love you.
Speaker 8: I love you.
Speaker 5: I I know they still think me an idiot. But
Speaker 5: you listen to what I say, and you don't think
Speaker 5: me an idiot?
Speaker 2: Do you No?
Speaker 8: I like to hear you speak.
Speaker 5: Then will you would you marry me?
Speaker 8: Yes? Yes, one, I will marry you.
Speaker 4: Now, I will not have it.
Speaker 7: But father, he is an idiot, he has delusions, he
Speaker 7: cannot do anything right.
Speaker 8: But he is getting better. He's better than he was.
Speaker 8: And he is strong and kind, stronger and kinder than
Speaker 8: any one in the world. And he loves me and
Speaker 8: I love him.
Speaker 7: Now I will not have it.
Speaker 9: It's great, sire, if you please, What is it? Good doctor,
Speaker 9: I have it, exam and bogotta, and the case is
Speaker 9: clear to me. I think very probably he might be cured.
Speaker 7: And how might that be done?
Speaker 5: His brain is affected.
Speaker 10: By something, I believe I know what it is, those
Speaker 10: queer things he calls eyes where we have but an
Speaker 10: agreeable depression. He has great lumps with flaps over them
Speaker 10: that move in long hairs. Consequently, his brain is in
Speaker 10: a constant state of irritation. But what can be done
Speaker 10: to cure him? A very simple surgical operation remove the
Speaker 10: cause of the irritation. We will merely cut out his eyes.
Speaker 8: But one They say, it will make you well, it
Speaker 8: will make you look like us.
Speaker 5: But you don't understand my dinoceroty. My world is sight.
Speaker 5: You would not want me to lose my most precious possession.
Speaker 5: I don't know there are so many beautiful things to see,
Speaker 5: the flowers, the far sky with its drifting clouds, the sunsets,
Speaker 5: the stars, and you, if only just to see you.
Speaker 5: It is good to have sight, and I would never
Speaker 5: see you again.
Speaker 8: I love to hear you say these things, even though
Speaker 8: I know it is just your imagination.
Speaker 5: But my dear, these things are real.
Speaker 8: No they are fancies.
Speaker 4: This is real.
Speaker 8: If you will let them cut out your eyes, we
Speaker 8: can be together always, and.
Speaker 5: You want me to, if you would, if only you would,
Speaker 5: What else can.
Speaker 8: I do, my dearest one, my dearest, With a tender voice,
Speaker 8: I will repay you.
Speaker 5: Oh Madona, be brave.
Speaker 8: And carry my voice in your thoughts. Now I must go,
Speaker 8: and to morrow, Yes, to morrow will be forever.
Speaker 5: Good Bye, good bye, Madonna. I suppose I knew it
Speaker 5: then when I said there, I only meant to go
Speaker 5: up on the rocks and look out over the valley,
Speaker 5: to spend my last days feasting my eyes, my precious eyes,
Speaker 5: and the wonderful, beautiful world of light and color. But
Speaker 5: when I got there, it was too beautiful, too lovely,
Speaker 5: this valley, this home of the mountain gods, beautiful and forbidden.
Speaker 4: I drank it in.
Speaker 5: The green of the fields, the blue of the gently
Speaker 5: curving stream, the orange of the ike, and in the
Speaker 5: rocky crevices. I climbed higher to see the great snow
Speaker 5: capped peaks towering above and away to the distant sky,
Speaker 5: and still higher, as the shadows turned the snow to
Speaker 5: purple and crimson and deep blue. The valley now was
Speaker 5: far below, and as beautiful as a painting. But like
Speaker 5: a painting, it seemed unreal. Medina Serote was small and
Speaker 5: far away, a distant dream, and the world of sight
Speaker 5: was here all around, overpowering, wonderful. I turned and began
Speaker 5: to climb up that sheer rock wall. How many months
Speaker 5: it took me to make my way out over those mountains,
Speaker 5: over glaciers and snow fields and sheer precipices. I cannot guess.
Speaker 5: How I lived through the cold and hunger of it,
Speaker 5: I cannot tell you. But I'm here at last, back
Speaker 5: from the country of the blind.
Speaker 4: Good heavens man. What an experience, Yes, terrible and.
Speaker 5: Wonderful.
Speaker 4: But you aren't sorry you came back.
Speaker 5: Sorry. I see her face clearly now. It is the
Speaker 5: only thing I see. No nurs come, you need food? Here,
Speaker 5: take my hand, thank you. Where is it, Senory Barak
Speaker 5: none as Yes, the gods of the mountain have had
Speaker 5: their revenge those months of crawling over the snow and
Speaker 5: ice with the sun glaring down. Yes, I am blind.
