O yes. Widerberg is interesting, because he created opposition to Bergman. Swedish filmakers had to choose that time. They are going to work Bo or Ingmar. Nobody pick you to widerberg company, if you like Bergman. Widerberg himself tried to make very different topics, showing how interesting is life...

That last slot was tough, wanted to go with Young Lions for Brando and Clift, but frickin' Dean Martin is the third wheel. I'll never understand his stardom.

I`m sure Dean Martin was mafia singer/actor in Godfather, not Sinatra.
