A new angle reveals Winter River as a miniature town, while the
Daddy Longlegs and the hand holding it are perfectly normal in
size. Above the model are a complicated mechanism of sun, moon,
clouds, and stars -- a whole, tiny mechanical universe to track
the hours of the day.
The hand belongs to ADAM MAITLAND, who is in his early forties,
solid-looking and easy-going. Frank Capra used to make movies
about him.
ADAM and the miniature town are in an attic room of a Victorian
house. The attic roof slopes on either side, and there are a
couple of windows, quite small and low down toward the floor at
either end of the long room. Almost the entire space is taken up
by the miniature town. A single door leads to a landing and
staircase to the lower part of the house.
ADAM carries the spider to the window, kneels on the floor, and
pushes open the window. The spider crawls away outside.
ADAM's POV --
The real Winter River lies spread out at the bottom of the hill.
BACK TO SCENE --
ADAM, whistling, goes back to the model. He takes a pair of
tweezers in which he grips an extremely small sign, whose
lettering is so tiny we can't make it out.
He reaches into the model and places the sign on the window of
MAITLAND'S APPLIANCE STORE on Main Street.
INSERT -- THE SIGN
It reads:
BACK TO SCENE --
ADAM
Hooray!
ADAM AND BARBARA
ARE
ON VACATION
HOORAY!
ADAM smiles down at the town as he's about to leave the room. He
turns off the lamp that acts as sun to the miniature Winter
River.
INT: THE HOUSE -- DAY
A tracking shot from the top of the Maitland's house to the
bottom.
ADAM leaves the attic room, and trips softly down the stairs,
humming a merry tune.
On the walls as he passes are photographs of himself and BARBARA
standing beside impossibly large and silly-looking appliances.
ADAM passes down the second floor hallway. The doors of the
rooms are open, and we pass the master bedroom, a sewing room, a
couple of guest rooms, bathrooms, and so-on. It's a big, old
rambling house, and it's decidedly old-fashioned, homely, and
comfortable. It also looks as if three generations of the same
family have lived in it.
Down the stairs into the living room, which is decorated in the
same fashion -- big console television, Barcalounger, a living
room set from 1961. Through the dining room, with homilies in
needlepoint on the wall: BLESS THIS HOUSE O LORD WE PRAY / MAKE
IT SAFE BY NIGHT AND DAY / BLESS THE FOLKS WHO DWELL WITHIN /
KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM AND SIN. Through the dining room door
and into the kitchen:
INT: KITCHEN -- DAY
ADAM's wife BARBARA is in the kitchen.
BARBARA has a kind of wholesome beauty that is mellowing well, as
she approaches middle age. There's a hint of unfulfillment in
BARBARA that gives her a little more of an edge than ADAM. We
will come to see that the only thing missing to complete the
Maitland's happiness is a child.
On the table in the center of the kitchen is a large cake about
