Elliot Gould and Bibi Andersen have an affair.
1 September 1999 | by (Montréal) – See all my reviews

Obviously meant for the US market starring Gould. Hardly a notable Bergman production, but much above most comparable run of the mill Hollywood production. Is it worth seeing now? For curious viewers and Bergman fans, mostly. Ghee those actors are sexy.
