"Sommarnattens leende" is a comedy with a very strong stage flavor, and it is quite interesting to look at the film against the literary script written by the director Ernst Ingmar Bergman himself. In order to maintain the compactness of the plot, the director deleted or reorganized some descriptive paragraphs and chose a more concise and clear expression, thus making the film more inclined to the form of traditional light comedy films. There is an Agatha Christie-esque design at the end of the film: all contradictions are concentrated in a closed place to be resolved, actress Daisy Rui is like a female version of Poirot, and like director Bergman himself, controlling every The advance and retreat of a link, but the final result is not to solve the case, but to obtain love and happiness. Although this large plot is extremely dramatic, it still shows the director Bergman's high scheduling and editing skills. Through a large number of carefully designed cross-shots, it calmly explains the seduction, deception, betrayal, and communion between three pairs of men and women. Conspiracy and other complex interactions, and this is the unique technique of Bergman's films

In the early works of the master, there is no philosophy and no religion, only a few love stories between lovers. Demonstrate Bergman's pursuit of romanticism and his exploration of love. Unfortunately, there are no handsome guys and beauties, and there is no sensationalism. The plot is too chaotic and the viewing index is average. 6

Mrs. Armfeldt: [holding a cup of wine at a dinner table] My dear children and friends. According to legend, the wine is pressed from grapes whose juice gushes out like drops of blood against the pale grape skin. It is also said that to each cask filled with this wine was added a drop of milk from a young mother's breast and a drop of seed from a young stallion. These lend to the wine secret seductive powers. Whoever drinks hereof does so at his own risk and must answer for himself.
