Intermezzo

Back home in Sweden after a world tour with violinist Professor Brandt, his promoter Charles (Erik “Bullen” Berglund) visits his now-retired accompanist Thomas (Hugo Bjõrne), who introduces his own student Anita (Ingrid Bergman, at 21 already becoming Sweden’s biggest film star), in the original (preceding her own Hollywood re-make) Intermezzo, 1936.

On the town in Stockholm, after playing together for the first time, and having dismissed the spectacular spontaneous idea of accompanying him on his next tour, world class violinist Holger (Gösta Ekman) swoons with director Gustaf Molander over Ingrid Bergman as Anita, his daughter’s piano instructor, in the original Intermezzo, 1936.

Listening with his daughter (Britt Hagman) then playing along, Professor Brandt (Gösta Ekman), because he’s just back from a two-year concert tour, hasn’t met her new piano teacher Anita Hoffman (Ingrid Bergman), in the original Swedish production of Intermezzo, 1936, directed by Gustaf Molander.
