Although Bergman is known for searing and austere visions of darkness, he also fashioned a sublime but witty cinema of comedy. A gynecologist takes a mistress, and much to his dismay, his jealous wife returns to her old career as an artist’s model. This endearingly funny film marked the first of several collaborations between Bergman and Gunnar Björnstrand.
