This is one of Ingmar Bergman's most impressive movies about a physician on a road trip with his daughter in law (Ingrid Thulin) and some hitchhikers. Along the way, he hallucinates about his past especially about Bibi Andersson, the girl who loved him but stumbled to his brother's flirtations. Bibi Andersson and Ingrid Thulin have never looked prettier. This is the perfect movie about missed opportunities. The impressive performance of Victor Sjostrom is the best thing about the movie. Victor Sjostrom was one of the best silent directors of his day. I've watched this movie a few times but had no idea that he was the lead actor. He's multi-talented. Bibi Andersson plays two roles that of a hitchhiker and the love. I feel like she was never given her due as an actress. A must to see.
