Ingrid Is Back, Laughing
By DICK KLEINER
HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) —
Somehow, you don’t expect In
grid Bergman to tell jokes, i
Maybe that’s why she is seldom i
asked to make a comedy. She i
gives the impression of being ra- :
ther somber. i
“Actually,” she says, ‘Tm a i
light and gay person, not a hea- 1
vy dramatic person.”
Producer Mike Frankovich saw
her as a light and gay person
and put her in the lead in "Cac- .
tus Flower” with Walter Matt
hau and Goldie Hawn. And ev- ,
erybody thinks it’s working out
Well. ;
Ingrid does tell jokes, and tells '
them well. Example:
i
“Have you heard this one? A
man goes to the psychiatrist i
and says, ‘Doctor, you have to
help me. I have a terrible infer- i
iority complex.’ Well, the doctor ’
treats him for a while and 1

then says, *You have no problem
— you’re just inferior.’ ”
She was shooting a scene in a
discotheque — any movie which
doesn’t have a discotheque scene
these days is stripped of its sp
rockets — with Walter, Goldie
and Jack Weston. It was a fun
ny scene, as the two couples
bumped into each other on the
floor.
Goldie says she’s using her
regular voice in this, not her pip
squeaky Laugh-In voice.
“Os course,” she says, “If I
get excited, it goes up again.”
She’s enjoying this, her first
movie. She gets to say some
smart things and she’s being •
spoiled by all the attention a
movie company gives its stars. ,
Matthau was limping a little :
as he came off the set.
“Something awful happen to
my foot,” he said. “You know
what it is? I don’t know what it 1
is. Yes, I do — it’s old age
“I get these spasms in the
muscles. Had it in my back a
few weeks ago. I was in P a 1 m
Springs and I got this spasm in
my back and I fell down. I tr
ied to hitch-hike back but no
body would pick me up.”
He is high in his praise of the
two girls in the picture.
“Goldie and Ingrid,” he says,
“seem diametrically opposed in
personality. But they're a lot
alike — both have talent.”
This is Ingrid Bergman’s first
picture in Hollywood in 20 years.
She says she had many oppor
tunities to work here, “but there
was always something In the
way— another picture in Eur
ope, or my children were too ■
young, or I didn’t feel like work. .
ing then.”
It is, she says, exactly 30 years
since she first came to Holly- ■
wood. Nothing much has chan- i
ged here in that time, as far as
movie-making is concerned.
But trends in films have, of
course, changed, and she finds
it deplorable.
“These wild pictures they are
making now,” she says, “are
terrible. Not only wouldn’t I do
them, but I won’t see them. If I
find out a picture is like that,
I don’t go to see it.
"I know it all started in Swe
den, but when Ingmar Bergman
did it, at least he had the artis
try to make it interesting. The
others who have copied him, in
Paris and all over the world,
they do not have his artistry.
The results are just very bad.”
Then it was back to the set, to
the good old discotheque. She
and Goldie and Walter and Jack
were laughing all the time.
“Walter and Jack are just so
funny,” Ingrid said. "And that
Goldie. She’s too adorable.”
