Full Plot Details

It's late nineteenth century Sweden. Middle aged lawyer Fredrik Egerman and his nineteen year old current wife Anne Egerman's two-year marriage has not yet been consummated. Fredrik wants to give Anne as much time as she needs to feel comfortable before losing her virginity. Although she loved Fredrik when they got married, Anne realizes she is attracted to Fredrik's adult son, Henrik Egerman, a brooding seminary student who is home following his most recent exams. Also a virgin, Henrik has been in an awkward flirtation with the Egermans' sexually experienced maid, Petra, in an effort to lose his virginity. When she first sees actress Desirée Armfeldt, Anne, without Fredrik telling her, knows that Desirée and Fredrik used to be lovers, the two who still have feelings for each other. Desirée currently is having an affair with married Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm. While he is jealous of any man who Desirée shows any attention to such as Fredrik, he is not the same with his young wife, the Countess Charlotte Malcolm, who he freely allows to have affairs of her own, or so he says. The Countess and Anne also happen to be friends. Largely orchestrated by Desirée, these interrelationships may play themselves out on one summer overnight social gathering at Desirée's mother's house, but not without the potential of some unforeseen tragic consequences.

Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 10/10 by Ken HankeAs a maker of romantic comedies, Bergman proves himself the equal of Ernst Lubitsch in his heyday at Paramount in the early 1930s.
CinePassion - 9/10 by Fernando F. CroceAn impeccable choreography of vows broken, shuffled and reaffirmed
New York Times - 8/10 by Bosley CrowtherWho would have thought that august Sweden would be sending us a film comedy as witty and cheerfully candid about the complexities of love as any recent French essay on l'amour?
Reno Gazette-Journal - 7/10 by Mark RobisonIt's good enough, I suppose, but I wouldn't recommend it.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonSmiles of a Summer Night is as delightful a romantic roundelay as has ever been made in world cinema; even the title is wonderful.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Rachel GordonBergman was a master to have crafted all of this material together so that it was entertaining.
User Review - 10/10 by Mikael KI caught this on my self-imposed Bergman marathon and was quite delighted. So, it appears that dramatic rom-coms CAN be thoughtful, creative, poetic, introspective and deep while being whimsy, light, sexy, flirty and silly. Only a master like Bergman could master such characters with their inter-weaving liasons and create a masterpiece.
User Review - 10/10 by Pavandeep SEarly traces of the Bergman trademark, far from my favourite but an exceptional comedy dealing in what one can assume to be some rather astute and controversial topics of its day or era, depending on which timeline you prefer. Interpreting this sort of spoils it, it is what is, a dramatic display of fidelity in a society forced to restrict human emotions.
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher MI am by no means another Leonard Maltin here, but this film is a masterpiece. The acting isn't that great, the script is very Bergman-esque with the usual philosophical-trajectories, but at least the film does what EVERY film should do - teach us a lesson on values. In essence, we as people should only be selfish about 2 things - love whomever we please, and howevermany we please. Also, the sedating shots of Sweden's summer nights have an incredible effect on the mood which is anti-depressing. But seriously, see this if you want to laugh and cry all in one take.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeremy GPoesie insolite et anticonformiste. On y retrouve des references a Shakespeare, bien sur, mais aussi a Marivaud, maitres et valets, jeux de l'amour et du hasard... La magie de l'instant rejoint une critique piquante et legere de la bonne societe suedoise. Un pur chef d'oeuvre.
