Trivia and Quotes

Trivia

Ingmar Bergman wrote the script while he was in hospital.

Final screen appearance of Victor Sjöström.

(imdb.com)

Contrary to popular belief, Victor Sjöström was cast relatively late for the leading part, with Ingmar Bergman not having any particular person in mind while writing the screenplay.

(imdb.com)

Ingmar Bergman has described in the interview how he came up with the idea while driving from Stockholm to Dalarna, stopping in Uppsala where he had been born and raised, and driving by outside his grandmother`s old house, when he suddenly began to think about how it would be if he could open the door and inside it would be just as it had been during his childhood. "So it struck me - what if you could make a film about this; that you just walk up in a realistic way and open a door, and then you walk into your childhood, and then you open another door and come back to reality, and then you make a turn around a street corner and arrive in some other period of your existence, and everything goes on, lives. That was actually the idea behind Smultronstället (1957)"

(imdb.com)

Cinematographer Gunnar Fischer says that several scenes had to be shot indoors due to Victor Sjöström`s poor health. "We had to make some very bad back-projection in the car because we never knew if Victor would come back alive the next day." Nevertheless, as long as Victor was home by 5:15 P.M. each day, "and had his whiskey punctually, all went well."

The dummy that Isak Borg mistakes for a pedestrian during the dream sequence was constructed from a balloon and a silk stocking.
