1.Witches starring: Anjelica Huston, Mai Zetterling, Jasen Fisher, Jane Horrocks, Anne Lambton directed by: Nicolas Roeg December 03, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
My husband and I have enoyed this film for many years and purchased the dvd to update from our vhs copy. Lovely story with a great cast. To be watched for many years to come, young and old.

2.Abandon Ship starring: Tyrone Power, Mai Zetterling, Lloyd Nolan, Stephen Boyd, Moira Lister directed by: Richard Sale February 11, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $44.40
From the opening scenes, director Richard Sale makes you aware that this is not going to be a "pretty" film. With the small shot of a simple sea mine floating in the water transforming into a classic 1950s explosion with horrific screams of passengers, Sale again reminds you that this is not going to be a typical Hollywood disaster film. As a reviewer, I must remind those reading that this is not a pretty picture - do not expect your typical film where the heroine always makes good decisions and those that are made do not impact the lives of others. "Seven Waves Away" was a flawless film. It is one of those rare, extremely rare gems that has gone out of print, probably forgotten by most, but when found will provide the most gut-wrenching 97 minutes of cinematic viewing. The plot is simple ... Read More

4.Only Two Can Play starring: Peter Sellers, Mai Zetterling, Virginia Maskell, Kenneth Griffith, Raymond Huntley directed by: Sidney Gilliat June 02, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $20.49
The review by J. Merritt is spot on (as the Brits would say). This movie was on TCM today, and I missed the start of it -- now I can't wait to see the whole thing. The dialogue is sharp and clever, and when the characters are behaving badly, the story is at its best. Wonderful acting by all. While the ending is a bit disappointing, overall, it was a lot of fun. I just wish they'd release it on DVD!

5.Night Is My Future (1947-Sweden) starring: Birger Melmsten, Mai Zetterling directed by: Ingmar Bergman November 01, 2002

*** 1948. Based on a novel by Dagmar Edqvist, this film was written and directed by Ingmar Bergman. A blind pianist tries to find his place in the society but loses little by little his social rank by accepting cheap jobs. A former peasant girl who managed to get educated through hard work will help him to give up the idea of suicide. One of Bergman's first efforts that could appeal to Bergman's completists or to curious ones. Some scenes like the initial dream of the pianist, filled with symbols, or Mai Zetterling's performance were a sufficient reward for me. If you try hard enough, you'll be able to find a zone 2 DVD of this film, titled MUSIC IN DARKNESS, released by U.K. based Tartan Video. The copy is superb, the sound rather bad. With English subtitles.

6.Hidden Agenda starring: Frances McDormand, Brian Cox, Brad Dourif, Mai Zetterling, Bernard Archard directed by: Ken Loach January 13, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
Obviously when a movie sets out to be a thriller about Northern Ireland with British secret service people bugging, stalking, and shooting down folks in the street, alot of people will get angry with its politics-as can be seen from some of the reviews. But it is an excellent thriller. Loach is a great director, and he really gets the pace of it right (i felt uncomfortable for the entire duration-a mark of a good thriller!) The ending was a little abrupt, but in retrospect probably the only realistic way of doing it (unless you want Margaret Thatcher to jump out and blow every one away with a semi-automatic). I'd definitely recommend this one.

7.Bad Lord Byron starring: Dennis Price, Mai Zetterling, Joan Greenwood, Linden Travers, Sonia Holm directed by: David MacDonald August 29, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $22.99
Panned by the critics but well received by many British filmgoers on its first release in 1949 (the Daily Mirror called it a 'film hit' and fans in Film Illustrated wrote that the acting was superb) this remains a very controversial film, as can be seen from the wide variety of comments on this page! Its bad critical reception in its country of origin probably explains why at the time of writing there is no video or DVD of the film available for UK viewers, but it is available in the US and in Germany (dubbed into German). Yet the film is not all bad. No, it is not the sort of thing film critics like -- it's a costume melodrama aimed at the 'popular market'. When this film was first issued, less than four years after the end of the Second World War, the British were still rationed for food and clothing and conditions of life were ... Read More

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
First screenplay by Ingmar Bergman. Main character played by Alf Kjellin who directed a few Columbo episodes in the seventies. A student falls in love with a prostitute who is mentally tortured by a sadistic teacher. Bergman's obsessions are already present in this 1944 movie.
