1.Casablanca [1942] starring: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt directed by: Michael Curtiz March 20, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This used to be my favourite. I went to see it at a cinema in the 70s, when it was distinctly arthouse. Times change, though. Now the racism grates too much. When it was made I'm sure it was meant to be radical. Rick saying he does not sell human beings when offered a price for Sam might have been cutting edge in '42. Not now. It does not matter how captivating Ms Bergman is, I cannot see past her using that American racist insult, 'boy'. Sam, of course, does not even have two dimensions to his character.

2.Spellbound [1945] starring: Ingrid Bergman, Gregory Peck, Rhonda Fleming, Leo G. Carroll, Wallace Ford directed by: Alfred Hitchcock October 30, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.99
Featuring a script from one of Hitchcock's favourite writers, Ben Hecht, the acting talents of Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman and dream sequences by Salvador Dali Spellbound should be an excellent slice of Hitch. That it doesn't quite match the sum of it's parts is perhaps not surprising when one factors in the censoring eye of David O Selznick. There is an argument that Selznick is unfairly maligned, but in this case there seems little doubt that by removing some of the funniest bits of the original script and calling in his own psychiatrist to give "realism" to the film (with Hitchcock, as usual, having no interest in tedious authenticity) certainly hampered the end product. The leads give strong performances, although the viewer ... Read More:

3.Indiscreet [1958] starring: Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Cecil Parker, Phyllis Calvert, David Kossoff directed by: Stanley Donen January 12, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.00
i'm the kind of person that loves romantic comedies where you see your own relationship or personality shining through...this film is v sentimental for me. I am not a "straight love story" person, i need the comedy element and this film encaptures normal r-ships & fun together. I have literally seen this flim over 100s of times. Truly recommend it - my fave scene is the highland dance & "the way you hold your fork" Love it!! :)

6.Intermezzo [1939] starring: Leslie Howard, Ingrid Bergman, Edna Best, John Halliday, Marlene Dietrich directed by: Gregory Ratoff October 13, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.50
This David O. Selznick film is a remake of an earlier film with the same name. Ingrid also played in this one so it is easy to get them mixed-up at first. The story is a classic and has been told in many ways. A famous violinist (Leslie Howard) falls in love with his daughter's piano teacher (Ingrid Bergman). Unlike many movies where the couple cause each other trouble and force the other one to beg his/her way back into good graces, the situations are real enough that you feel that you are part of the story. You will have to watch to find out how they deal with feelings and act on them. You can easily get wrapped up in the story and forget that there is quit a bit of beautiful music in this film. If you find this movie as intriguing as I do, your ... Read More:

7.Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient Express [1974] starring: Albert Finney, Lauren Bacall, Martin Balsam, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset directed by: Sidney Lumet August 21, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.95
I first read Murder on the Orient Express at school. Unlike most books where I ended up desperately trying to finish the book at 3:00 am the day before a test, I was unable to put this one down, and even (I admit with shame), had to check my room and under the bed for some terrible fear of seeing the 'woman in the scarlet kimono' or the 'small dark man with the womanish voice'. How excited I was to see the film. Unfortunately, I was a bit let down. This is down in part to two reasons. Firstly it is the length of the film which needed AT LEAST another hour to tell the story properly. Secondly, it is the fact that most of the all-star cast fall flat on their faces. Co. Arbuthnott is supposed to cold and unemotional, so what in God's name convinced someone to cast ... Read More:

8.Cries And Whispers [1972] starring: Harriet Andersson, Kari Sylwan, Ingrid Thulin, Liv Ullmann, Anders Ek directed by: Ingmar Bergman February 25, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.35
Cries and Whispers is a powerful study of three sisters and a faithful maid who share a manse in a remote location. One of the sisters, Agnes (Harriet Andersson), is dying from an indeterminate cancer, and it is her slow journey towards death that is the center of this story. The other two sisters are variations of monstrous people: Karin (Ingrid Thulin) is what seems to be an icy control freak who can't stand human touch of any kind, and we're privy to her torment in a flashback where she uses a piece of a broken wine glass to literally mutilate her vagina. Maria (Liv Ullmann) is less stern, more casual, but equally manipulative: she not only tries to resume an affair with Agnes' doctor (who points out she her internal ugliness is starting to show through her facial expressions ...

9.Inn Of The Sixth Happiness [1958] starring: Ingrid Bergman, Curd Jürgens, Robert Donat, Michael David, Athene Seyler directed by: Mark Robson June 05, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.44
The story of how Gladys Aylward went from parlour maid to heroic missionary in 1940s China is well known, but the film bears watching time and again. There are outstanding performances by Robert Donat as the Mandarin - seriously ill, this was his last film - and of course the wonderful Ingrid Bergman, ably supported by Curt Jurgens as the army colonel. Other fine assets are the script by Alan Burgess, who wrote the original book, "The Small Woman", Freddie Young's sweeping cinematography (you would hardly believe it was made in the Welsh mountains, not China) and Malcolm Arnold's stirring musical score, including the famous children's marching theme and "Knick-knack" song. All in all a beautiful film, emotional but not sentimental, uplifting and inspiring.
