On Again, Gone Again

"Bergman's Back!" cried the newspaper ads. But no sooner was the famed film star on again than she was gone again. The Greatest Love, the second picture Ingrid has made since she threw up her Hollywood career to marry Italian Moviemaker Roberto Rossellini, was mass-booked into 67 neighborhood theaters in Greater New York last Monday, yanked out again on Thursday. The reason was painfully apparent to those who saw the picture. Written and directed, like Ingrid's last picture, Stromboli, by husband Rossellini, it is a murky turkey that gabbles about Christianity and Communism. "The fault," wrote New York Times Critic Bosley Crowther, "is quite plainly not Miss Bergman's ... It is notable that [she] has grown older gracefully, with more strength and beauty in her eternally interesting face."
