What Intermezzo Is About

Gustaf Molander's 1936 Swedish film follows the affair that begins between a married concert violinist and his daughter's piano teacher. Gösta Ekman plays the man and the twenty-one-year-old Ingrid Bergman the woman. The film neither turns the affair into a fairy tale nor preaches about it; it keeps what the two of them gain and what they lose on the same scale. Bergman's work here caught the eye of David O. Selznick, the contract that brought her to Hollywood was signed after this film, and the same story was remade in 1939 opposite Leslie Howard. A Swedish melodrama that also turned out to be the door to a career.
