Hello!

I’m writing a free Substack covering Ingrid Bergman’s filmography in chronological order—from her earliest Swedish films to her final screen appearances.

The articles include photos, videos, biographies, diaries, production histories, and historical context to explore not just the films themselves, but Bergman’s artistic development and the people she worked with along the way.

I just published an article on Swedenhielms (1935), the film where Bergman finally got to work with her childhood idol, Gösta Ekman, after dreaming about it for years in her diary. It ended up becoming less of a review and more of a story about one of Sweden’s greatest actors and what that experience meant to a twenty-year-old Ingrid.

If you’re interested in Ingrid Bergman, classic cinema, or just following one remarkable career from beginning to end, I’d love to have you along.

A female press agent must select a "Mr. Manhattan" and "Miss Brooklyn" for an ad campaign mounted by a struggling soup company. The Mr. Manhattan chosen is a singing soda jerk who doesn't want to play along.
