(Drawing of Ingrid by Adi Price)
Due to my fanaticism for Ingrid Bergman, I have set out on a quest.
I have decided to collect or view all of her films.
So far I have viewed the following:
Die Vier Gesellen
Kvinnas ansikte, En
Intermezzo: A Love Story
Rage in Heaven
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Casablanca
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Gaslight
Spellbound
Saratoga Trunk
The Bells of St. Mary's
Notorious
Arch of Triumph
Under Capricorn
Stromboli
Viaggio in Italia
Elena et les hommes
Anastasia
Indiscreet
The Inn of the Sixth Happiness
Goodbye Again
Hedda Gabler (Which I'm going to see the new rendition with Mary-Louise Parker in January!!)
The Visit
The Yellow Rolls-Royce
The Human Voice
Cactus Flower
Walk in the Spring Rain
Murder on the Orient Express
These account for a little more than half of her pictures.
My goal is to see them all. I really love her early Swedish work and foreign (or shall I say not Hollywood) work.
She sought after directors and actors with which she would gain a great experience. She chose people and scripts that were relevant to her and said no to people who were just trying to BS her.
I have been doing a lot of research on Ingrid, due to a project I'm working on and my constant admiration for the woman. The more I find out about her, the more human she becomes and the more real her story.
I feel a disconnect from some actors who have died before my time, but not with Ingrid. Ms. Bergman is still alive and well as far as I'm concerned.
I would recommend any of these movies to anyone.
I've already made friends sit through them, and so far... not really any complaints!
