    Imagine going to the cinema with no idea of who Ingrid Bergman was and seeing her for the first time. She’s remarkably different from other Hollywood leading ladies of the time - natural, demure, pure, fresh faced, absolutely ravishing with natural emotions and intense still waters. The first scene where they play together is totally compelling, in those days you almost never saw any actor’s fingers on the piano keys and she mastered synching to a virtuosic track. Of course, she had played this role before in the Swedish original. A brilliant call by Selznick to remake it in English so a wider audience could fall in love with Miss Bergman, and they did for over 40 years.

    The little girl's beauty match the one of Ingrid Bergman. She is Ann Todd. Child star from 1939. Born 1931.
    She played in 40 movies.
    It's so refreshing that after she left Hollywood in 1950 she married in 1951 Robert Basard a music professor and they
    lived happily till his death in 1993. They had son and daughter and three grandchildren.
    Ann Todd past away 7 Feb 2020 age 88 of complication of dementia.

      @@bethr8756 Adultery is not beautiful, it is true. But, he was not a monster, just weak. It is awful that he walked out on his family. The whole thing was terrible, but passion is like that. Unless, you stop right at the beginning, you are lost and have no strength to stop anymore. When they walked to the bridge the first time, that was the point they should have run to different directions. They didn't and there was no stopping from there on. What was most tragic, is that it was a happy family and he did love his wife. Sometimes things happen and people are not prepared to handle these things. It should be taught in every family how to deal with temptations in adult life. I strongly believe only those who are determined and prepared can resist temptations. When they know before anything has ever happened what they are going to do and they do it. Once a long time happily married man said in a program where they asked him about his secret how to stay loyal and faithful to his wife and keep the marriage happy: He said have your running shoes always in sight and when you are tempted, run, run as fast as you can. Don't think, do not stop, run. He was right of course. People should just do that. Before the bond develops. It always needs some time, even if it presents itself suddenly. It can still be pushed away, but once the two people spend some time together it quickly becomes quicksand.

      YES indeed about a wife still in love with her husband and he finally remembering to love her again and his family and let go of his fling...his intermezzo. True love of a great woman who forgave her cruel husband who finally did wake up to his folly with the help of his lovely mistress. The enduring true love of a husband and a wife.

    I had just seen Brief Encounter with Trevor Howard yesterday. The cast was excellent and apparently it is seen as the second greatest British film. In many aspects the story is similar to Intermezzo and it also has a very English artist, Leslie Howard. I felt the pain in that one, but I will always love Intermezzo a hundred times better. It touches me even more deeply. There are very few actors or singers I would call artist no matter how wonderful or accomplished they are. Leslie Howard is one of them for me. Thank you for uploading this eternal beauty of love, sin and forgiveness. As much as I love Casablanca and Bogey I love this one more. I believe, it is unworthily forgotten. and yet, it is a masterpiece.

      The story and scenario were originally from a Swedish film of the same title. A big hit over here but it also helped propel Ingrid Bergman to Hollywood. In her memoir book (highly recommended!) she recalled her encounter with Selznick's talent scout Kay Brown who had seen the original film at a New York theatre and recommended both the movie and the girl to her boss. A few months later, Brown flew over to check Ingrid out in Stockholm and try to recruit her for Hollywood. Brown immediately liked the robust blonde lady and her newly-wed husband, and the couple decided to relocate to America.
      Ingrid was both intelligent and a very courageous woman - she knew she wanted to influence what kind of roles she was going to play, and at several points took great risks with her career and sometimes paid a high price (most infamously when she left the US to live and work with Roberto Rossellini, of course, a move that caused her to be denounced as a traitor and an immoral woman by the US media). She remains an icon around the world and also in her homeland of Sweden. :)

He is one of the greatest artists of all time and this film would have been less than half if anything at all without him. It is him I watch it for and not Bergman. She does very well, but ..well, let me just not say anything anymore. I suppose I may not be just to her. But I agree that the wife Edna and the daughter Ann Todd were brilliant too.

    Poor Leslie Howard. Died in WW2 in 1943, when the German Luftwaffe shot down a passenger Dutch KLM plane he was travelling in. The area through which he was flying was a highly dangerous place. I think he was flying from Lisbon to Bristol, UK. Ended up in the Bay Of Biscayne. Apparently the German fighter planes on Patrol that day did not get the information about the plane and just assumed it was an enemy plane. It had actually survived being attacked by the Germans before. Despite painted in camouflage. There was talk that it was shot down because it assumed Winston Churchill was onboard returning from the famous Casablanca Conference. Seems after Leslie Howard’s death all BOAC commercial flights stopped in that region and only done carefully at night and re-routed. WW2 was such a dangerous time for everyone it seems. Even entertainers like Leslie.

    One of my favorite kinds of movies: Reality while artistic, deep while romantic, putting a rational and critical philosopher view to the jumping mess of emotional and nonsense behaviors of most people like you and me, in their daily life, with humor, sympathy, and carelessness grace... It brings us to fly through a wide range of time and space, enlarging our knowledge about the different worlds, escaping us from where we are, maybe just for a while though, with eye-catching beauty in people and nature... meditation but igniting thinking...

I was surprised to see Ann Todd play Anne Marie- she was in many British films later as a Blonde who usually had only one expression on her face=dreary. She married a big shot, though, so her 'acting ability' didn't keep her out of films for a while. TY for the post.

    This movie is what I was looking for to watch. It touched me deeply. Life presents us with difficult choices; honor responsibilities or satisfy our deep love for someone. I felt sympathetic and empathized with the wife, husband and the lover (Ingrid Bergman). There are no winners in this scenario. Sacrifice only, and hold the family values where there is so much satisfaction and deep affection to one another. I believe that was the right choice; to return to his family in spite of the immense hurt and loss of their strong love to each other. Parents are not Gods. They are humans. They make mistakes and sometimes horrible mistakes. The scene between father and son was wonderful. The father needed his son to forgive to be whole. Thank you for the movie.

My idea of great films are Citizen Kane, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, The Treasure of Sierra Madre, The Little Foxes, The Thin Man, The Magnificent Ambersons, Ben Hur, To Have and Have Not, several Hitchcock films, including Rebecca, North by Northwest, Notorious, Vertigo. These are only a few of the films that I find great, but I think there are many more that are much better than Intermezzo. That said, I am glad that you enjoy Intermezzo, and I certainly love seeing a young Ingrid Bergman turning in such a fine performance in it.

      @@Bronte-on6tm Well, several films you listed are great in my opinion too bu that does not take away greatness from this underestimated little gem of a film. However, opinions vary we are all different with different tastes and ideas on what is truly great or not. I measure a lot of them by tte impact they have on me. If no impact I would not call them great. Also, those films that make me think about them sometimes even for days or a week I call great even if it was distasteful watching them, e.g. Blade Runner 1-2. Mind you, 2 was not as 1 for me. I found that one terrifying and tormenting and showing a bleak vision of the future, now we are kinda live that future in many aspects. Naturally, I was prepared for 2 unlike for part one.

      @@42kellys Yes, you stated the reason why Intermezzo is not great in my opinion. I have seen it three times over the course of many years. Each time, I have completely forgotten the content of the movie. Just now, I had to skim through parts of it to remind myself of it... and only 9 months after having last seen it. It is a melodrama that provokes no thought for me, except to briefly question that the infatuated young woman shows more level-headedness than the infatuated older man. I don't doubt that it inspires more thought for others, and that is just fine with me. Intermezzo just isn't my cup of tea.

      Not at all. Ingrid Bergman received some bad publicity and her career suffered for a time because she left her husband for Roberto Rosselini an Italian Movie Director but that didn't happen until 1950. However her career rebounded after a few years with several more successful movies.

    He loved Music more than his family...children and his wife...but his wife forgave him for the sake of their children. Leo Tolstoy said you can forgive betrayal but you would never embrace or hug the betrayer. Betrayal is like when you have your hands cut. You can forgive but you can not hug...

      He isn't the first self-involved artist type (not unusual) to fall head over heels for an attractive, talented artist who worshipped him from afar. It's 1939, making telephone calls across the continent could take hours or days. Also, that would just serve to show his conflicted feelings and guilt. We already know about that.

I understand that he preferred to act on stage rather than movies so then it’s very understandable that his heart wasn’t in motion pictures. It would’ve been great to see if him act on stage doing what he truly loved doing.
