The Non-Essential Ingmar Bergman
by jimmyr5595 | created - 13 Nov 2018 | updated - 3 weeks ago | PublicIngmar Bergman works and related films not included in The Criterion Collection/Janus films' "Ingmar Bergman's Cinema" boxset. You can double check, but I think I got a lot of film & television work Bergman was a significant part of.

"...one notes that Ingmar Bergman, with the position he now occupies, no longer gives away his best screenplays. The concept for Last Couple Out is probably an old one that he once laid aside but has now tried to lick into shape. In any case, it seems to belong to an earlier phase in his development." - Nils Beyer, Morgontidningen

Votes: 130
Ingmar Bergman's contribution to the film did not appear in the credits. However, the cover of the screenplay reads: 'A romantic comedy by Lars-Eric Kjellgren. Scenario: Lars-Eric Kjellgren and Ingmar Bergman.' There is therefore more than a hint of irony in the fact that one of the reviews (the most critical) cited Bergman without being aware of his input:
'Night Light is the result, the highly dubious result, of Lars-Eric Kjellgren's ambition to play the part of a Stockholm René Clair. Or if you will: proof of what can happen when one misconstrues Ingmar Bergman.'
Between this and Wild Strawberries BTS, he helped out with "The Minister of Uddarbo / Prästen i Uddarbo" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050863/ but his contribution seems most minimal. It does have Max von Sydow though.
