CATCH A CLASSIC
Summer Under the Stars: Ingrid Bergman
TCM, beginning at 5 a.m.
Ingrid Bergman was one of the most ethereally beautiful actresses to ever grace the silver screen, with an acting talent every bit as mesmerizing. You’ll see that combo many times today when Bergman is celebrated during Turner Classic Movies’ Summer Under the Stars lineup.
The schedule naturally includes plenty of the films she made in Hollywood during the 1940s and ’50s for which she is most
remembered — including the classic romantic drama Casablanca (pictured) (1942), the psychological thriller Gaslight (1944, Best Actress Oscar winner), the alternate-history drama Anastasia (1956, Best Actress Oscar winner), the TCM premiere of the war drama Arch of Triumph (1948) and more. But you’ll also see some of the earlier movies she made in her home country of Sweden, like the dramas Walpurgis Night (1935) and Intermezzo (1936), as well as her final film, 1978’s Autumn Sonata (aka Hostsonaten), which brought her back full circle to her roots in Swedish cinema (teaming with legendary writer/director Ingmar Bergman, no relation) for a dramatic role that earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination. — Jeff Pfeiffer
