Sawdust and Tinsel (1953)
Director: Ingmar Bergman
Year: 1953
Starring: Åke Grönberg, Harriet Andersson, Hasse Ekman, Anders Ek, Gudrun Brost, Annika Tretow
After a lifetime spent wandering with a now decadent circus, Albert and Anne try to settle separately, in a quite little village they came across while touring. But the tranquil and still atmosphere of the city is a killer for the turbulent spirit of Albert who, after a failed attempt of reconciliation with Agda, the mother of his children who now owns a shop in the town, and after discovering Anne's desire to leave him for good, he is left alone with his own ghosts and a bear to face, his life to consider and an entire crew, lead by sad clown "Frost", waiting to know the name of the next destination, if there will be any.
Bergman bring his characters to a limit in which they're put face to face with they're own mortality and hence with their own lives, as well. Only in front of they're simple humanity they will get to appreciate what life is made of and this is for the existentialist director one good way to take a bunch lost souls, the pieces and put them all back on track.

An irresponsible and spoiled girl is set up by her millionaire father who disapprove her relationship to a guy he believes is only after the family wealth. By pretending that, after a market crash, they have lost all of their fortunes. he tests both her daughter and his future son in law.
This film, which script varies from the one Hitchcock had in mind but got rejected, is a full comedy which introduces a number of original shots including the famous "through the glass" POV which characterise the entire film. It also anticipates a format which will develop in the future into an Hitchcockian classic: a disturbing assault to a young woman, which turns out to be fantasy.
