After fifteen films that received mostly local acclaim, the 1955 comedy Smiles of a
Summer Night (
Sommarnattens leende) at last ushered in an international audience for Ingmar Bergman (
The Seventh Seal,
Wild Strawberries). In turn-of-the-century Sweden, four men and four women of different classes attempt to navigate the laws of attraction. During a weekend in the country, the women collude to force the mens 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 (
The Seventh Seal,
Winter Light) and Harriet Andersson (
Through a Glass Darkly,
Cries and Whispers),
Smiles of a Summer Night is one of cinemas great erotic comedies.
