The Touch

Seven years before Woody Allen started cornering the English-language Bergman market with Interiors, the brooding Swedish master tried his hand at it and came up with this Swedish-American color production (1971). Most American critics were horrified that he cast Elliott Gould, but Gould isn’t at all bad, and neither is Bibi Andersson, playing a woman who leaves her doctor husband (Max von Sydow) for Gould. Not exactly Bergman at his best, but still well worth a look. (JR)
