        Summer with Gerd
        A fascinating glimpse of what might have been had Liv Ullmann met Ingmar Bergman earlier, since she played the little minx described as "rude and up for anything" as which he'd earlier cast Harriet Andersson and would later cast Gunnel Lindblom.

        In a storyline that in places anticipates 'Knife in the Water' it also looks forward to Michael Powell's 'Age of Consent' in showcasing a distinguished actress in her youth as a free spirit cavorting in long blonde hair and nothing else against a backdrop of scenic splendour.
