    • Quotes

      Gustav Palm: You can't expect us to sit idly by white Sweden's future goes down the drain.

      Fredrik Bergström: I wonder what would happen, if you and all the other bachelors with good salaries were to try to save the future and birthrate by marrying? But no, you don't want that. You won't even hear of it. Neither that nor the bachelor tax.

      Gustav Palm: Now you listen, if all the married people in Sweden were to do as much for the birthrate as we bachelors do, there would be no need to worry about our country.

    Bergman is radiant
    OK, I'm a sap for old movies. At the same time, I've never been a huge fan of Ingrid Bergman. In "Walpurgisnacht", however, I can see the beauty others mention. And I don't understand the low ratings of others. Maybe I'm not sufficiently conversant in Swedish cinema, but the tension and real human drama developed in this film were far more attainable than any of the artsy Swedish stuff so beloved by contemporary critics.
