Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

rparker-14 this film is full of grotesques with nothing more demeaning ever than flora Robson's blacking up ,what was that all about. Ingrid Bergman is one of those actresses your supposed to like no matter what she does .well i just don't buy her creole seductress.in the black wig the over rouged mouth she gives good impression of what Hedy lamarr might have looked like if shed been cast which she was but mayer wouldn't lend her . Hedy had smoulder Ingrid was always too sanitised . Gary copper acting style has dated his underplaying now looks like a familiar set of mannerisms .there's something rancid about this movie. it wasn't released for two years and didn't do as well as was expected .Bergman's penchant to grab everything, play everything ,is exposed in this movie for what it is -an actress of high ambition out of her depths .Bergman was good but mainly when she played Ingrid Bergman- endless repetitions of intermezzo scream at me if you like i'm a non believer and this film is a dud

bobt145 I'll leave it to one of the ladies to give us judgment on Gary Cooper's charm.For me, this is Ingrid Bergman at her absolute best. Shot just after Casablanca, the screenplay and Sam Wood's common sense choose to focus on Ingrid in every scene but the brief, although well done, train wreck and brawl.She is radiant, sly, coquettish, warm, reactive, piercing, soft, hard. Most of all, she is desirable. A woman for all time, for all women.And she is strong. Melting for a brief second, gathering her resolve and forging ahead with her plans and schemes.The Edna Ferber novel has enough truth to provide a reasonable story line for Ingrid to carry along single handedly. Cooper and Jerry Austin as Cupidon are excellent. Florence Bates gets too little time, too late as a matron with claws.And French, yes, bless them, they allowed Ingrid to speak French, which she did so beautifully.The current 6.2 Yahoo rating is laughable. "Saratoga Trunk" may not be a "Casablanca" or "Notorious" but it is far better than this lowly rating. See for yourself.

gkeith_1 Clio was right. Cleent was "beautiful". Mrs. Bellop was right. With Coop's big shoulders and narrow hips, Clio would have been stupid to give that up in place of that milksop rich guy, Bartholomew Van Steed. I guess Mrs. Sophie Bellop didn't get her money, but ah well. Clio ended up with Cleent, and I'm sure the children turned out to be handsome, tall boys and beautiful, charming and coquettish girls. Turns out Clint ended up wealthy, so Clio got the handsome guy and the money, too, $$$$. Gary Cooper was one tall, cool and handsome drink of water.When Mrs. Bellop gave Mrs. Van Steed her comeuppance, I laughed out loud. Showing up Mrs. Van S. was indeed a stroke of genius. I always enjoy seeing Florence Bates, especially in "On The Town".Ingrid Bergman was awesome. She was very beautiful, and I enjoyed hearing her mixture of French and English. She looked very wonderful in the costuming.Jerry Austin (Cupidon) stole the show, in my book. When he told Clint, "I am a man!!," it was a heartwarming moment for me. Small actors and characters are tired of being treated as goofy marionettes.Love New Orleans French Quarter, and loved seeing the neighborhoods in this movie. Jambalaya a good memory. These streets and foods still exist.Loved seeing Flora Robson, an English actress, in her role as Angelique. She had the American accent down well, plus the New Orleans patois. Her raised eyebrows could sink ships. I thought that her makeup and costuming were perfect for the role. Also, she actually loved Clio, as well as Cupidon and even Clint.12/10

CrystalSparkles4 I gave this movie a 10 simply out of my sick obsession with Ingrid Bergman:) lol. I really think she was the best actress to ever grace this earth with her talent and all of her movies are absolutely wonderful (even when they are awful) because SHE is in them. If it hadn't been her and Vivien Leigh (as it had originally been desired I hear) I would have given it a 9.0 Simply because I love Viv but probably not as much as I love Ingrid. And any other actress would have made it maybe a 6. It's a good story, two wild people falling in love in a society where it bad to be bad. Reminds me a little of GWTW except laced with a more highbrow attitude. Gary Cooper is very handsome as usual and of course his voice never changes the entire film, but hey Ingrid makes him seem so amazing and dashing and 20 times hotter than he probably should be.
