"Ingrid Bergman was not only an incomparable beauty but also one of the finest actresses of cinema's Golden Age. Bergman started in modest productions in Sweden before Hollywood beckoned, and she soon became one of filmdom's brightest stars. The actress appeared in many acclaimed movies including Casablanca, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Gaslight. While her personal life was briefly tainted by an affair and a consequent falling-out with the American public, Bergman was eventually able to return to Hollywood and earn two of her three Academy Awards. In The Essential Films of Ingrid Bergman, Constantine Santas and James M. Wilson examine the most notable performances of the award-winning actress's career. From her early work in Swedish films to her final role in the miniseries A Woman Called Golda, this book analyzes the entirety of Bergman's on-screen career, paying special attention to those aspects that made her stand out most: her range of emotion, vulnerability, and beauty. Among the films discussed in this volume are Casablanca, Gaslight, Spellbound, The Bells of St. Mary's, Notorious, Indiscreet, and Murder on the Orient Express. This volume looks at each of Bergman's most significant films, covering nearly five decades of movies, from the 1930s to her final film in 1982. Each entry provides production history, plot summaries, film highlights, and major award details. Highlighting more than twenty productions, The Essential Films of Ingrid Bergman is a must-have for every fan of the legendary actress"--Back cover.
