In his first comic piece, Bergman produced a saucy film with remarkable wit: three of a group of four sisters-in-law discuss their marriages and affairs as they await their husbands. Told in three long flashbacks, the style ascends from a certain realism to illusory expressionism to slapstick comedy.
