Overview

Early in the 20th century, middle-aged lawyer Fredrik Egerman and his young wife, Anne, have still not consummated their marriage, while Fredrik's son finds himself increasingly attracted to his new stepmother. To make matters worse, Fredrik's old flame Desiree makes a public bet that she can seduce him at a romantic weekend retreat where four couples convene, swapping partners and pairing off in unexpected ways.

00:00:16 SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT

00:05:21 Hello, children! Hello, Mrs Egerman!

00:12:01 - How beautiful she is. - It's just grease-paint.

00:15:48 - I think so. - Splendid...!

00:19:43 How old can that Armfeldt woman be?

00:24:08 She can't be, as she dared to marry you.

00:26:58 Oh no, Fredrik Egerman...! I want my reward in this life.

00:30:42 - It's too... - It would be worse if you were naked.

00:33:52 - Can I go to bed now? - Of course, Malla dear.

00:36:55 Malla, can you answer the door.

00:40:10 Its target is the photograph of the old lady. The face. The eye.

00:44:22 It must have been early in the evening.

00:47:15 - Have you finished with the cards? - Yes, the capital letters came off well.

00:51:33 But a tart remains a tart, even if she tarts about with His Majesty the King.

00:56:16 And what are those slippers?

01:01:15 And they have hair all over their bodies.

01:04:47 - I'm afraid I don't quite follow. - That is of little consequence.

01:10:01 The road permitting, we hurtled along at 20 miles per hour!

01:13:41 - Not Mr Egerman, apparently. - He's just out to impress.

01:17:43 Why are young people so dreadfully merciless?

01:27:40 I have loved you all along.

01:33:57 I can't trust you after all.

01:38:22 Your wife is said to have eloped with your son?

01:42:22 - What are you doing? - I'm putting your love in my pocket.
