I've rarely seen such a dark and intimidating and superb movie from the 40:ies. Usually nordic films from this decade are pretty lame and follow a certain narrow path of simplistic comedy. This movie is very dramatic, partly thanks to Bergmans fantastic script, and Alf Sjöberg captures the moods and the weight of every moment and every pause. Every stroke of silence adds up to the feeling that keeps the beholder on the edge of his seat. Excellent classic movie!!!
The brilliance of Stig Järrel needs to be mentioned. He is so convincing in his performance that when you're leaving the movie-theater you might just see him coming around the corner with his wooden ruler...
