Movie Description
SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT is an enchanting comedy of manners with a satirical edge. Set on a country estate at the turn of the century, it features eight people, including an actress, a sophisticated aristocratic couple, a lawyer and his virginal wife, and a spirited young maid who, during the course of one evening, change partners several times and engage in multiple romantic trysts. Full of subtle eroticism and wit, Ingmar Bergman's romance proposes that falling in love (or lust) beyond the parameters of social convention is not only unavoidable at times but it might even be the key to personal happiness.

Credits
Cast:	Eva Dahlbeck, Gunnar Bjornstrand, Ulla Jacobsson

Notes
Theatrical release: December 26, 1955 (Sweden).

Filmed on location in Skåne, Sweden, and at Råsunda Studios.

SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT inspired Stephen Sondheim's stage musical A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and its subsequent cinematic adaptation.

This film was Bergman's first great international success. His subsequent projects were eagerly anticipated and well received the world over, and certain older works were shown for the first time abroad.

Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival.

Editorial Reviews
"...[Bergman's] funniest work -- and also one of his best....A rare comedy. It plays with both the romping feelings of romance and the impossibility of idealized, perfect love with the ease of flirtation..."
Los Angeles Times - Mark Chalon Smith (12/06/1991)

"The movie that put Ingmar Bergman on the map..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (05/28/2004)

"SMILES is clearly the work of a master -- observant, complex, and richly entertaining."
Premiere - Howard Karren (07/01/2004)

"[A]n internationally revered delight about dueling love affairs at a summer estate."
USA Today - Mike Clark (07/31/2007)
