Stig Olin outside a cinema showing Ordet. Not that Carl Theodor Dreyer Ordet of course, that wasn’t released until 1955. No this is the 1943 Ordet directed by the same director as Kvinna utan ansikte, Gustaf Molander and featuring two of it’s stars Gunn Wållgren and Stig Olin!

Kvinna utan ansikte (Woman Without a Face) | Gustaf Molander | 1947

Written by Ingmar Bergman

I only knew Gunn Wållgren as the matriarch of the Ekdahl family, grandmother to Fanny and Alexander in Bergman’s 1982 TV series/film, but here she is 35  years earlier as Rut a rather cute femme fatale driving Alf Kjellin crazy and luring him away from nice but stern Anita Björk. The story is related in flashback via Stig Olin "the friend in this story” as he describes himself, charting the peaks and troughs of the affair and delving into dark events in Rut’s childhood.

As you might expect in a melodrama about infidelity and sexual obsession Bergman's script delivers a lot of angst but also a little humour, while director Gustaf Molander and cinematographer Åke Dahlqvist bring a noirish tinge to the proceedings.
