Mike and Nick return to their journey through Bergman's filmography. This time they explore the medial film in Bergman's "comedic" trilogy. One of the lesser regarded films upon its release, the pair wonder if the criticism at the time was warranted or if Mike's favourite magazine, Cahiers du Cinéma, was right to include this (along with two others, to Nick's chagrin) on their 1958 list. Is this a secret triumph for Bergman or is it another failed attempt at humour from one cinema's most dour minds?
