Fans of actress Ingrid Bergman will only love her more after watching this revealing documentary.
Ingrid Bergman saved everything including her many home movies, her journals, and her letters. The film views the actress’s career and private life through her eyes as well as through interviews with her children. She was a complicated, rather driven woman but an endlessly charming one.
I found out many things I had not known about Bergman and enjoyed this documentary thoroughly. It contains many fantastic clips from home movies, news reels, and, of course, the actress’s films. Highly recommended to fans. The film is currently available on YouTube as well as, briefly, on FilmStruck.
