this be bergman first effort a a film director and it have be criticize for be overly melodramatic . first and melodrama be an utterly underrated way of tell story and second and it be very much a sign of the time and a most film during that time tend to be overly melodramatic by themselves and and a a whole . so and it not that much bergman fault and he just go away and make a film in the way most film be make at that time . the acting be very good and inga landgé be so very beautiful a the young ingénue and and stig olin make a very impressionable performance a the two bit hustler or pimp . above all and all the small part be do almost to perfection . and bergman have some hilarious dialogue and like the old lady at the train and comfort ingeborg when she wake up after a bad dream representyou must have eat something unsuitable . i usually dream about a big negro bite my toe off when i have eat something unsuitable . whatever that may mean . if there be a memorable quote section here for this film and that line would be there . in the end and this film be not do to perfection and it not faultless and diamond sharp a bergman later effort . but it be nice craftsmanship and good acting and and an enjoyable experience . a well do first try in film making .
