Illicit Interlude
PrevNext-
When Summer Interlude, directed by Ingmar Bergman, was released in the U.S. in 1954, it was retitled Illicit Interlude and marketed as a racy import, to capitalize on the stateside success of other Swedish films, known for their uninhibited sensuality—though the comparatively innocent Interlude contains no nude scenes whatsoever. Presented here are some original press materials and clippings alluding to the supposed frankness of the film—plus a review by New York Times critic Bosley Crowther, who takes exception to the suggestive renaming.
