Hedda Gabler (1962 TV Movie)
8/10
Ibsen-lite
27 July 2020
The harsh reviews on here do have a point about the way Ibsen's original play has been cut and condensed to make for easier TV viewing. However, when watched as a showcase for Ingrid Bergman-- well, she's one of my favorite actresses ever and it's really great to see her tackling this role, even if she's too old for the part. The acting across the board is good and the camerawork is competent, very much the standard for 60s television as far as I can tell. I wouldn't recommend it to fans of Ibsen, but Bergman fans will be delighted.
