《《The First Swallow (Short 1942)》》Storyline
When Macon busts, he accuses Sundance of cheating while the card player is raking in his winnings and stacking everything neatly in piles: "You""re a helluva card player fella.Moments later, he enters the dark room where he believes Werdegast is sleeping.However, because the two men have switched bedrooms, he also awakens Peter.Poelzig: Now Vitus.We have something to settle, we two! (Peter sits up in bed.From the adjoining room, Vitus appears.)Vitus: You were seeking me, Hjalmar?Poelzig (to Peter): I beg your pardon.(Poelzig enters Werdegast""s room and the door is slid shut)Werdegast: (countering) Where is my wife?Poelzig: Very well, Vitus.[Note: Ephron would go on to write and direct other romantic comedies, includingSleepless in Seattle (1993)(with Rob Reiner in an acting role) andYou""ve Got Mail(1998)(both with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks).Jack held up the two chalices, and clinked them together to create a tone - but nothing happened.He read the two inscriptions on the chalices: "Aqua...de Vida," causing a low rumbling sound.Flowing water surrounded them in the chamber and opened a passageway in the ceiling.He and the others were raised up to the majestic Fountain of Youth location, where they discovered hat Barbossa had already arrived.Despite the sumptuous, ornate and opulent set design, sharp dialogue and great acting, the dark subject matter during the Depression Era led to a box-office failure (froms its $900K production budget) and lack of critical acclaim (it received no Academy Awards nominations).
