1. Bergman laughs
Smiles of a Summer Night (1955) by Ingmar Bergman.
A staid lawyer in his 50s has been married to a pretty 19-year-old woman for two years but hasn’t slept with her. His son by his previous marriage has the hots for his father’s wife but is too inept with women; he can’t get any from their coquettish housemaid. The lawyer pays a visit to his former mistress, a famous actress, currently the mistress of a testosteronic count, who is himself married to a fiery young woman. The actress wants the lawyer back so she hatches a plan. She convinces her mother to give a house party and invite the lawyer, his wife and son, the count and countess. Ooh, fun.
