LOL Alfred's face is like -.- And Ingrid is beautiful as always. Gosh i think she was the best star in the golden age

[@connorjones100]

Ingrid Bergman, now there was a star!

[@m1sterrattles764]

The woman just shines like no other in the movies. Absolute goddess.

[@sammyyiieiieieieie]

It's amazing to see how, after all the decades have gone by, Ingrid Bergman is still as fabulous, gorgeous and enchanting as ever, or even better. She truly is the epitome of genuine beauty, of elegance, and of sophistication. Those eyes and smile of her owned such warmth which makes her more unique... She's one kind of person whom you will find to take your eyes off... Ingrid Bergman, indeed, is A LEGEND!

[@PhedraBcn]

Sam B. A perfect description! Couldn’t have said it better

[@OrangeTabbyCat]

I'm sorry but here she looks like my Mom, or any other German housewife. Hitchcock looks like a big blob.

[@sammyyiieiieieieie]

@@OrangeTabbyCat well I am not able to see that because I don't know too many Germans lol

[@phebus2005]

She was ill with cancer, and died still a young woman, aged 67, two years and a half after this AFI event.

[@ramonpurugganan1592]

Can't get enough of this woman, Ms Ingrid. Where have all her likes gone?

[@ShirshPrasidhPictures]

Ingrid Bergman you will be always remember as very fine actor.

[@mckavitt13]

She'll be remembered as a v great actress.

[@warmeinezeitmeinezeit7814]

As one of the best ever!

[@JohanR888]

from what ive read, a favourite of Hitchcock's and a dear friend of his. When he was dying, Ingrid flew from London to LA to see him. It cheered him up greatly. she was a wonderful actress, a beauty. star quality X

[@joefriedman9843]

She was truly one of the greatest of all time. Both of them were, in fact.

[@mckavitt13]

And that is what made Ingrid Bergman "an artist" too. That rare gift of sharing.

[@CYP0]

Being surrounded by legendary actors, accompanied by giants like Cary Grant, Anthony Perkins, Jim Stewart etc etc etc, and lauded by Ingrid Bergman. In the centre is Alfred Hitchcock. This is as close to cinematic paradise as it can ever get.

[@2legit64]

I remember seeing this when it originally aired. I was a kid and was in awe of everything Ingrid Bergman. She was one of the true greats.

[@warmeinezeitmeinezeit7814]

Adorable magnificent unforgettable INGRID BERGMAN! 😍

[@IngridBergmanRocked]

Ingrid had the nicest eyes, smile, voice, etc. Hey what can I say, Im a HUGE fan and I so miss back-in-the-day shows celebrating stars like this one.

[@bosiljkacerkez9939]

INGRID...❤⚘🕊🙏B & H

[@infinteloveforfilm]

My favorite actress. Have admired her since I first saw her in For whom the bell tolls.

[@tomusmla8772]

Thank you. What a privilege to watch Ingrid Bergman

[@Boudosaved]

The range of expressions on Hitchcock's face in this clip alone could inspire any actor/actress!!

[@mimosa27]

What expressions?

[@malcolmoliver7265]

@@mimosa27 seems like a sarcastic jab at his emotionlessness ahaha

[@sugarlove]

What a lady!!! Love love love her!!

Yeah, me too! 😃

[@ragemodels]

"INGRID FAKE IT " !!!! Best advice ever !!!

[@BarbaraFanDallas]

Such star quality, even when she was ill with cancer so sadly missed one of the true greats and a lovely person too

[@Q.Gold30]

Incredibly beautiful

[@rickblaine1914]

Thumbs if you love Ingrid Bergman and Alfred Hitchock!

[@bobwishart8780]

Ingrid Bergman ❤ Alfred Hitchcock 🫣

[@danielstanwyck2812]

Bergman is heaven and Hitchcock should have won at least 2 or 3 Academy Awards. Not to mention Cary Grant!

[@lisica8458]

Ingrid Bergman herself won three--two for Best Actress and one for Best Supporting Actress.

[@photo161]

F the academyf*cking awards. Art is its own reward...

[@you0107]

Re: retrogaming's comment... It is absolutely impressive how Bergman shot a few amazing films (Orient Express, Autumn Sonata and Golda) even after finding out she had cancer and after she had undergone surgeries. What a strong woman!

[@lourdeshensley4789]

Yes! Agree all those agreables about her! I miss my mom!

[@MrImiller07]

Cary Grant looked terrific at this AFI tribute and at every public event until his death in 1986. He richly deserved an AFI Life Achievement Award, however, he did receive an honorary Oscar in 1970 and a Kennedy Center Award.

[@AlaskAnna22]

Ingrid Bergman - What a beautiful, talented lady .. love her films, Casablanca and all the others - A Gracious, generous lady - God Bless her and keep her....what a gift she was to us!!! Thanks for sharing..

[@Q.Gold30]

Incredibly beautiful

[@mona2242]

My favorite actress of all time. Love all her movies but simply adored her in For Whom the Bell Tolls, Gaslight and of course, Casablanca .

[@jordanabeaulieu2530]

I liked her very much also in *Spellbound* with the gorgeous and talented Gregory Peck!

[@maudeboggins9834]

Quite the polyglot. Lovely elegant sophisticated polite woman.

[@breakone1]

Grant took the prop key from the famous wine cellar scene in Notorious, saying it gave him enormous luck and fortune. Later, he gave it to Bergman, wishing it would do the same. Years after that, Bergman gave it to Hitchcock at the Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony.

[@sidviscus]

Hitch cracked a smile during her speech. She broke him.

[@fridafan1]

Love her swedish accent !! This speech is so funny !! "Ingrid , fake it !":))) I Love Ingrid !!! She was such a great actress ! There won't be any other actress wich is as good as her ! Thank you ! Hitchcock didn't smile very often or ?;)

[@kushalroy9747]

Absolutely 😘

[@siempremarisol]

she was wonderful

[@aksumit6490]

The great man laughed from below the jaw. And Ingrid, As classy as ever!

[@zaodizao]

I love thank you for acknowledging what the public has admired for 50 years ... That was great

[@saloabad]

and she was such an amazing woman! Ingrid was unique and brilliant

[@Q.Gold30]

Incredibly beautiful

[@RJY4356]

I researched... this aired March 7, 1979. Hitchcock died 13 months later in April 1980 at age 80.

[@correioanacabral]

"Ingrid... fake it" :)

[@pimpomman1]

I am proud and happy about how far actors and how far people in sports have come from little Sweden. ❤

[@Q.Gold30]

Ingrid was incredibly beautiful

[@rickram1961]

Alfred Hitchcock should have won the Oscar for Rebecca!

[@maloum-lsodermark7869]

Yes he should!

[@ramonpurugganan1592]

A royal Ms Ingrid.

[@bridgetnolan3947]

I admire her so much, can't wait to read her autobiography in the next week or so

[@Rakib.Islam.E]

♥ for Hitch & Ingrid

[@ShirshPrasidhPictures]

I remember Casablanca was your masterpiece, It was classic.

[@OfficialZachariahMalachi]

He cracked a smile when she said that. You can see it.

[@praveenliverpool]

Ingrid Bergman - the most graceful and beautiful actress of all time

[@PlayIt4MeAgainSam]

Back in the days when it was worth watching the AFI Awards, etc. Full of pure class, talent & genius!

[@siavashshaghighi2655]

It is amazing to see all these amazing actors and actresses in one place.

[@MrRodrigues4]

Ingrid is wonderful, Hitch is wonderful, NOTORIOUS is wonderful and I cry watching this

[@itsaashish]

At 1:16 Robin Williams, 3 legends in one video! #Respect!

[@RJY4356]

Robin Williams was born in July 1951; this was in March of 1979. He was 27 at the time.

[@jennaclay4039]

Love Ingrid Bergman!!! Hitchcock totally deserved this glad they gave him one. He should've gotten an Oscar though...

[@Q.Gold30]

Ingrid was incredibly beautiful

[@infonut]

I got this tribute on vcr tape as part of a coupon exchange along with Sabotage (1937). I remember watching its original broadcast. I was in junior high and the whole art class was talking about it the next day. Mind you, those kids only knew Hitchcock from The Birds(1963) and Psycho(1960). They couldn't stop talking about the clips of his other films and wanted to see them. I of course was answering questions left and right. Having studied his movies since I was 10.

[@Ace-gl7xo]

This award was given in 79. Alfred died the next year, Ingrid in 3 years

[@Astarstruckfan]

I am a true Hitchcock fan. All of his films are masterpieces, but Notorious is my favorite.

[@bridgetnolan3947]

@astarstruckfan you have great taste.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Her daughter isabella shares many of her charming qualities.

[@gatewayski1]

Too many men receiving this honor. Susan Hayward and Ingrid Bergman would certainlyhave been worthy of this Honor. Both left us too soon.

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

agree, bergman should have received it

[@filmidioten]

Haha, Robin Williams was in the audience! Hitchcock an Robin Williams in the same room, that's a movie in itself!

[@mctalks]

Oh, you're right! how could I have forgotten about Jimmy Stewart?

[@fergalhughes165]

2:32 Cheryl Ladd, ah my heart .. she was the pretty angel in the revised round of Charlie's Angels .. and later portrayed Grace Kelly in a biopic made after her death, I think

[@TheAnanda9new]

Nice Speech!

[@patriciawhitehead4313]

Yes, it was . Elegant, true, perfection. A great lady of the acting profession.

[@Anna-rk2hn]

What a beauty what a class what a great one

Can't believe I'm watching a video from 1979

[@IngridBergmanRocked]

And that' how I feel about Ingrid, Alfred & Cary...SPELLBOUNDED. Thanks:D

[@brandon91616]

Is it just me, or is Alfred Hitchcok's facial expression at 1:15 hilarious?

[@alessandro6024]

So nice! ❤️ Thank you.

[@Vwjl1207]

Ingrid Bergman is lovely. During this time Mr Hitchcock's health was failing rapidly and died a year later.

[@Lellobeetle]

[@MegazoneMusic23]

And Christopher Reeve just made Superman a few years before

[@CMC050]

Ingrid Bergman is a critically underrated actress. Unreal talent for her time.

[@melisagalvalizi6982]

underrated??? i don't think so, she is revered

[@CMC050]

@@melisagalvalizi6982 more people should know about her talent

[@fredericurban3447]

A very great period

[@piustwelfth]

Hitch's most exciting film is "The Lady Vanishes". "Shadow of a Doubt" is also excellent -- set in Santa Rosa, CA (in No. Cal. like many of his films ... "Vertigo", "The Birds", etc.)

[@hminkema]

@YouriH190: And don't forget that Hitch was well-known for his deadpan delivery. Please check out his acceptance speech of the same evening! You'll find that being serious is part of his act, and that there is a very naughty boy inside all that serious weight.

[@knownpleasures]

she only died 2 years after he did

[@mctalks]

Carey Grant sitting right next to Hitchcock. I'm pretty sure he used Grant more than any other male actor.

[@patrichellberg4143]

WOW!

[@ingridib8701]

4 dislikes??? What's wrong with people???

[@phebus2005]

When it comes to that star, some morons would be too prejudiced and bigoted to remember anything but Miss Bergman running away with married Italian director Roberto Rossellini, back in 1949 (I still read lots of garbage about that). Since she left that America behind her, my only comment here would be : Well done, Ingrid, well done !

[@vittoriostoraro]

Unfortunately, Hitch was very ill by this point. If only they hadn't waited so long to honor him. Missing from this clip, the moment when the magnificent Ms. Bergman gives him the key from "Notorious", which she had kept all those years.

[@HamzaAnsari1425]

Thanks... wow, he looks better now that he has grown up!

It's the MGM DVD version. Got it at Barnes and Noble online if that helps.

[@lynnturman8157]

He was always very resentful of the Hollywood community. Gotta realize that during his career, he wasn't taken seriously as an important director. He was too commercial. Now he's considered one of the greats but not at the time. That's why he gave the shortest Oscar speech in history when he got the Lifetime Achievement Award. He walked up to the podium, said "thank you" and walked off.

[@Q.Gold30]

Ingrid was incredibly beautiful

LOL.... brava...my lady Ingrid.
