Get swept up in an evening of whimsy and romance with legendary Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's "Smiles of a Summer Night" (1955).

An atypically lighthearted farce from Bergman, this classic won the 1956 Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and later became the basis for Stephen Sondheim's musical "A Little Night Music."
