Where does Autumn Sonata rank in your favourite Ingrid Bergman movies?

[@zebo11]

It's been many years since I've seen, but I do remember well the long take where she's watching her daughter play......and the close up of Ingrid's face, such subtle and phenomenal acting. Thanks to this I'm going to watch again

[@floris.927]

@@zebo11 Liv Ullmann’s face also … when she was listening to Ingrid playing. Never have such complex subtleties been conveyed through such simplicity … unforgettable.

[@Jeanne90275]

Right after Casablanca and Notorious. I saw her twice on the stage and she was glorious.

[@bearcb]

Number one

[@NoahIsThaGOAT]

number 3 after Casablanca and Notorious, but I think it is her best performance

[@MrTraderon]

The film they're discussing "Autumn Sonata" is Intense, at times electrifying. The performances of Bergman and Ullman are masterworks. Hate to say it but few American actors can hold a candle to them.

[@jaredt113]

After having watched Gaslight and Autumn Sonata among many other Ingrid Bergman films, I can confidently say that she is one of the great actresses of the 20th century. Her ability to transcend those disparate styles of acting - the classical heightened theatricality (some might say melodrama) of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the devastating authenticity and subtleties of the fully immersed Method - is something I've never seen another actress match in quite the same way. Some actresses give incredible performances in films where the two styles intersect - Vivian Leigh in A Streetcar Named Desire comes to mind - but no other actress has made the leap from one end of the spectrum to the other with the same incredible force as Ingrid Bergman. She was an astounding actress. Her skill was incredible.

I saw this movie when I was in college. I was a pianist and a Bergman fan. I have seen it a couple times since and I still love it. ingmar Bergman is a great director and Ingrid Berman is a great actor. Enjoyed this interview. Thanks for posting it!

Don’t you miss Dick Cavett, nobody interviews like him.

I hope we can see more of this interview here. I remember when this movie was released, my brother and I went to see it. We were in college then. Time flies. Over 40 years ago.

A great lady and a true gentleman

[@sapphire6107]

Being a huge fan of Ingrid Bergman, I have 42 of her films and loved them all. It's interesting that beside Autumn Sonata and Intermezzo where her character is a pianist, 9 of her other films also featured her playing a piano. She's alive in my heart through her films. Love her ❤️

[@melclo3641]

I never saw Dick Cavett until yesterday, I must say I like his style.

[@michaelfredt573]

A True Lady. Love her in Casablanca.

[@lemurianchick]

Did you see this movie? So intense!

[@martinweber2178]

well, yes - who didn't ....

[@unclebennyscreepycampfires6828]

A true lady? She was married multiple times & had adulterous affairs with co-workers & directors. You might be mistaking her with her portrayals in roles, not who she was. May God have mercy on our souls.

Bergman worked with Bergman in her last movie.

[@aniamezzo]

Ingrid Bergmans last movie was “A woman called Golda” from 1982

[@crybabyland]

@@aniamezzo Golda was a multi-part TV movie. It was not in theaters.

[@stevefrayne]

I saw this movie recently and but was intense!!

[@reasonrestored9116]

Ingrid. That young people is what a Star of Hollywood’s golden age could be. Pure Class, talent, warmth etc. not to mention being as beautiful as she was here in her 60s, there are none like this today

[@MegaAtomium]

I love them both!

[@nessieness5433]

Thank you so much for posting this, is there a second part?

[@terrya8989]

Liv Ullman said the two Bergman's did not get on at all, and constantly argued on the set.

[@piustwelfth]

Arguing is not necessarily a negative. Sometimes it causes both to think and can be constructive. When filming was over, Ingrid had nothing but praise for her director as we can see in this interview.

[@tosvus]

I don't remember her saying they constantly fought, but they certainly had one or two large fights. She also did say that the two of them were never close after that, but regardless, I like to think they both saw each other's exceptional talents.

[@jadezee6316]

Bergman suffered from a puritan hypocritical...american public...for no reason but she wanted to live her life.....no public figure owes the public anything but the best use of their talent... personal life is no one's business....and Bergman certainly gave movie fans a lot to enjoy from her work....appearing in 2 of my favorite pictures..Casablanca and Notorious....

[@viralbuthow000]

Besides Casablanca, Notorious so, so good from start to finish

[@sammalone4239]

💯💯, absolutely correct. Never judge personal relationships!

[@mjaada]

The always curteous Dick Cavett 7:05

[@jaypeemalenab9648]

7:07 to 7:21 sounds sexist to me. I felt like Ingrid Bergman was offended but she laughed it off with grace.

[@breckrichardson390]

Given her very long answer to the question I would say she was not offended at all. It was a question that was probably on the minds of many viewers, especially at that time when it was very common for older actresses to want to be filmed in soft focus.

[@pierogi3112]

He took the same digs at Rudolph Nureyev about being an aging dancer. It's disrespectful, and shows that Cavett has a mean, envious streak.

[@Gannooch]

Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel.

[@Gannooch]

have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like these.

[@jadezee6316]

putting vaseline on the lens was also a trick....but....it was the lighting man...and the camera man who worked the greatest wonder on film sets regarding actors appearance...to the point where many actors simply would not perform unless they...were part of the filming. it is well known that certain actors even for just interviews...never agreed to them without bringing their personal man....to light the filming...Mae West is an early example...Streisand...later and today? lol.its all...fake

[@joejones9520]

yep but the skill with which they fool us is the measure of the greatness...

[@piustwelfth]

And some actors, like Claudette Colbert, would only show one side of her face.
