A married woman begins an affair with an American archaeologist.

Sinekatalog’s take

Ingmar Bergman's English-language-tinged drama has a doctor's wife starting an affair with an American archaeologist. Elliott Gould is an odd fit, but Bibi Andersson and Max von Sydow bring depth to a lesser Bergman.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
