Intermezzo (1936) is the original, Swedish version of the classic love story that would become Bergman’s first Hollywood success. A brilliant concert violinist (Gösta Eckman) leaves behind his family when he falls in love with Anita Hoffman (Bergman) and convinces her to travel the world with him.
Intermezzo was Sweden’s most celebrated film of the 1930s and it brought Bergman to the attention of Hollywood producer David O. Selznick. Indeed, when Selznick saw the film he ordered his representative “to take the next boat to Sweden and not come home without a contract with Miss Bergman.”
Three years later she would remake the film for him in her American debut and its great success would set her on the path to become a Hollywood legend.
