From Quiz What's In A Title? The Films of Ingmar Bergman

Answer: Summer Interlude

Bergman remembered the filming of "Summer Interlude" as "one of my happy experiences." The film was to a certain extent auto-biographical as Bergman had had a lonely yet "fantastic life of laziness and self-indulgence" holiday experience which was interrupted by a brief "timid love" episode when he was 16, but the dramatic events (which I won't reveal) were made up. "Summer Interlude" is the earliest of Bergman's films that I've seen, and most Bergman scholars tend to take it as when he really hit his stride. It features many key Bergman tropes, such as the setting (an island), the season (summer), youthful love, and the theatre. Mirrors are also used in many Bergman films, and "Summer Interlude" features one of his most famous mirror scenes in which Marie is shown taking off her make-up and talking to her ballet-master. Apart from the obvious (albeit very interesting) reference to self-awareness and self-scrutiny, in this scene there is a wonderful playfulness to Bergman's switching between who is seen talking through a mirror reflection. About the red herrings (all 1951): "A Place in the Sun", which was based on the Theodore Dreiser novel "An American Tragedy", was a huge success, "The Lavender Hill Mob" is a classic Ealing comedy. "A Streetcar Named Desire" is Elia Kazan's wonderful film version Tennessee Williams's play of the same name.

From Quiz What's In A Title? The Films of Ingmar Bergman

Answer: The Seventh Seal

The title comes from the "Book of Revelation" in the New Testament, and the film quotes it several times. It apparently refers to God's silence, which is one of Bergman's major themes. "The Seventh Seal" was the first Bergman film I ever saw, and it remains my favourite. It's also one of his most well-known films, which is funny when you realize how hard it was to get to make. In fact, if it hadn't been for the commercial success of the relatively light-weight "Smiles of a Summer Night" (1955), nobody would have let Bergman make his morbid, yet darkly funny, tale set in plague-ridden medieval Sweden. It had previously been rejected by all and sundry. Bergman was incredibly fond of "The Seventh Seal", and he said it "is one of the few films really close to my heart. Actually, I don't know why. It's certainly far from perfect." One of the reasons for its continuing repute is how pertinently it deals with the theme of human existence and the rather grim brutal truth that "one could be transformed from being to not-being." About the red herrings (all 1957): "Ducking the Devil" is a Warner Brothers cartoon "starring" Daffy Duck and the Tasmanian Devil, "The Incredible Shrinking Man" is based on a Richard Matheson novel, and "From Hell It Came" is a pretty dreadful sci-fi horror flick.

From Quiz The Film Career of Kathy Bates

Answer: Failure to Launch

Kathy starred as Sue in this 2006 film. Sue and Al had hired a woman to help their adult son leave their home. Tripp was 35 years old and seemed to have no intention of leaving his childhood home. His parents were anxious to get him out. Al was especially antsy so he could walk around the house nude. Sue wanted Tripp to leave, but was nervous because she hadn't been alone with her husband since Tripp was born. Tripp wound up falling for the woman they hired. Kathy and Terry Bradshaw had great chemistry in this movie. In my opinion there were the best part of the whole film. The way she reacted when Al was walking around naked all the time was hilarious. The film was directed by Tom Dey. It starred Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker as the lead roles of Tripp and Paula.

From Quiz What's In A Title? The Films of Ingmar Bergman

Answer: Wild Strawberries

The title "Wild Strawberries" stems from a scene in the film where Isak recalls an amorous escapade from his youth whilst sat in a wild strawberry patch. "Wild Strawberries" is one of Bergman's most highly-revered films thanks to its emotional depth. The main role, that of Professor Isak Borg was played by Swedish veteran actor Victor Sjöström, who had made his name in the silent era, most notably in "The Phantom Carriage" (1921). When talking about Sjöström's performance in "Wild Strawberries", Bergman said "Victor Sjöström took my text, made it his own, invested it with his own experiences: his pain, his misanthropy, his brutality, sorrow, fear, loneliness, coldness, warmth, harshness, and ennui." The awkward interaction between his character and Marianne (played by Ingrid Thulin) is painfully familiar to watch for anyone who has had to deal with such crabby old men and/or emotionally remote young women. About the red herrings (all 1957): "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" is a surprisingly good horror film starring Michael Landon. "Legend of the Lost" starred everyone's favourite cowboy John Wayne in a non-cowboy role, and Italian diva Sophia Loren, whilst "A Farewell To Arms" is based on Ernest Hemmingway's novel.

From Quiz The Film Career of Kathy Bates

Answer: She gave her fried green tomatoes.

Evelyn had developed a real love for Ninny. They first met when Evelyn and her husband Ed were there visiting Ed's aunt at the nursing home. Ninny began to tell Evelyn the story of Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth almost immediately. Evelyn would come back with Ed, but not to see his aunt only Ninny. Evelyn wanted to hear more of Ninny's story on Idgie and Ruth. She would tell Evelyn more and more of the story of the two young women with each visit. Evelyn came back on Ninny's birthday with a plate of fried green tomatoes. The women ate the tomatoes and talked some more of the tale of Idgie. The film was released in 1991. It is one of my all time favorites because of the stellar cast and the story. The movie starred Kathy, Jessica Tandy, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Mary-Louise Parker just to name a few. It was the story of of the power of women and how they each came through adversity stronger then ever. I loved this movie.
