Sawdust and Tinsel

Sawdust and Tinsel (1953) starring Harriet Andersson, Ake Gronberg. Directed by Ingmar Bergman. A traveling circus comes to town. The owner of the circus (Gronberg) goes to visit his ex-wife and children, who happen to live in the town. This prompts a drastic reaction from his mistress (Andersson). This much-lauded film by Bergman no doubt has depths that I was unable to perceive. I wasn't too thrilled. In Swedish, with English subtitles. Grade: B
