i first saw this movie when i be in elementary school and back in the 1960s . i be fascinate with the character play by ingrid bergman and it be my introduction to the french quarter of new orleans . the first part of the movie be the best a she come back to exact some revenge on her father wife and daughter ( her mother have be drive out in disgrace ) . during this time she meet the wonderful clint maroon and play by gary cooper . the chemistry between the two be great . the second half of the movie take place in saratoga and ny ( the saratoga of the title ) and i never enjoy it as much a the new orleans set but it still very good . i give this movie a ten partly out of nostalgia but mostly because it just a darn good movie and the character besides those of bergman and cooper be equally wonderful ( flora robson come close to steal the scene from bergman ) . it use to be show on tv periodically but it show rarely if ever it would be a good one for one of the classic movie station to pick up and put into their programming cycle .
