I used to LOVE that book! It was in our church's nursery and I used to read it all the time! \:D/domino harvey wrote:I think I did it wrong:

Many thanks Ovader. That's great news! I knew that Youtube had a few 4-to-6 minute clips of this show, but I didn't realise that the whole thing is on there now. Cheers!

Re: Ingmar Bergman 1918-2007
Regarding the Bergman quote about Ford.
I've searched for several years now to find the origin of the claim by Bergman that Ford is the world's greatest director (I'm a huge fan of both directors), yet I only find second hand references, such as the one in Bogdanovich's book in which Ford himself claims that Bergman called him this.
The claim is made often that Bergman was a fan of Ford's, though in none of the books, articles or interviews with Bergman that I've seen or read does he have praise for Ford (if he mentions him at all, which he almost never does).
It also seems funny to me that this seems to be stressed as often as it is.
John Ford has countless admirers, it would not be hard to list famous directors who were influenced by Ford. I wonder if it is because Bergman's stamp of approval would be a strong endorsement from a high profile European art house director. I'm not sure.
If anyone can find the origin of this quote I would be very very grateful.

Don't know the origin of that quote, but Steene's reference guide has one entry on Ford, from a Norwegian report on a 1973 Cannes press conference for Cries and Whispers where Bergman mentions his favorite filmmakers (Ford, Fellini, Bunuel, Varda). Reading that entry led to finding this video clip from the press conference, which doesn't have this specific comment, but does have fascinating interviews with Ingrid Thulin, Harriet Andersson and Ingrid Bergman. (it would have made a great extra on the Criterion Cries and Whispers DVD!)Derek Estes wrote:Regarding the Bergman quote about Ford.
