Ingmar Bergman’s comedy about
passion, jealousy, and pride brought the director international acclaim. In
turn-of-the-century Sweden, four men and four women attempt to navigate the
laws of attraction. During a weekend in the country, the women collude to force
the men’s hands in matters of the heart, exposing their pretensions and
insecurities along the way. Chock-full of flirtatious propositions and sharp
witticisms delivered by such Swedish screen legends as Gunnar Björnstrand and Harriet
Andersson, Smiles of a Summer Night is one of cinema’s
great erotic comedies. (1955, 108 mins)
