the clip is a different take than what is used in the film...or is that just my imagination?

@MaxxUS08 Your Right. The clip in this video is from the trailer, which uses a different take used in the movie. :-)

God why can't more present day actors have the class and humility as many of our past screen legends??

I see people like Halle Berry and just cringe...

[dougeski]

She was one of those rare people who possess a great inner beauty as well as remarkable outer beauty. "Casablanca," "Notorious," and of course "Gaslight" are three of my favorite films.

What happened to the Oscars? It held such dignity, poise and relevance... how did it redce to this? I hope Billy Crystal can revive this year's award, but maybe it'll only be realized if the nominees held such reflection.

Jones and Bergman weren't "very" fond of each other!!!

@pegleg747 Ingrid was actually pretty shy in real life anyway.

One of my very favorite actresses of all-time. Classy, humble, lovely. A great woman.

Ingrid Bergman, my favorite actress of all time. The whole package I dare say...

[thenicedudejay]

It's undeniable that she was so worthy of the Oscar. A true legend, true class act.

Aw, Ingrid :) ♥

@pegleg747 Why Halle Berry? She gave one of the most beautiful, moving, and historical Oscar speeches of all time. It certainly took the Academy long enough to award that one.
