Sinekatalog’s take
Ingmar Bergman's early drama follows two violinists whose marriage strains between ambition, jealousy and music. Maj-Britt Nilsson and Stig Olin are affecting, and Victor Sjöström appears in a sincere, musical melodrama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
