Anita Björk, Märta Dorff, and Ulf Palme in Miss Julie (Alf Sjöberg, 1951) Cast: Anita Björk, Ulf Palme, Märta Dorff, Lissi Alandh, Anders Henrikson, Inga Gill, Åke Fridell, Kurt-Olof Sundström, Max von Sydow, Margarethe Krook, Åke Claesson, Inger Norberg, Jan Hagerman. Screenplay: Alf Sjöberg, based on a play by August Strindberg. Cinematography: Göran Strindberg. Art direction: Bibi Lindström. Film editing: Lennart Wallén. Music: Dag Wirén.  "Opening up" a play when it's made into a movie is standard practice. Directors don't want to get stuck in one or two sets for the entire film, so they shift some of a play's scenes to different locations or have new scenes written. But nobody has done it with such imagination and finesse as Alf Sjöberg, taking August Strindberg's Miss Julie out of the kitchen in which the play confines the characters and into the other rooms of the house and onto the grounds of the estate. Sjöberg plays fast and loose not only with space but also with time, giving us scenes from the childhood of some of the characters, showing us the cruelties that warped them into the twisted adults they have become. But he also does it by letting the characters from the past appear in the same room as their equivalents in the present, giving a sense of the indivisibility of past from present. Granted, Strindberg's play, with its long reminiscent speeches, facilitates this reworking of the drama by providing the material for Sjöberg's added scenes, but there's a fluidity to Sjöberg's melding of memories into the tormented present of Julie (Anita Björk) and Jean (Ulf Palme). There are some who argue that Miss Julie is meant to be a claustrophobic play, that dramatizing too much of Julie's relationship with her mother or Jean's early lessons in not transgressing the limits of class undermines the play's psychological realism with too much action and melodrama. The answer to this, I think, is that the play remains, and continues to be performed with success -- and, incidentally, to be filmed repeatedly in ways more faithful to Strindberg's original plan. What we have with Sjöberg's film based on Strindberg's play is a second creation, rather like Verdi's Otello and Falstaff, works that can stand on their own as masterpieces without denying the virtues of the Shakespeare plays on which they're based.

I want you to know the truth, but perhaps you don't want to hear it. You're not the first. I knew it. It's the only thing you men care about—being the first.

Lissi Alandh in Älskande Par (1964)

Mannekäng i rött (Mannequin in Red) | Arne Mattsson | 1958

I've seen Mannequin in Red described as Swedish Giallo and there are scenes which are reminiscent of the later Mario Bava film Blood and Black Lace especially with it's fashion house setting, but it reminded me more of the few German Krimi films I've seen albiet with a bit more focus on style.

The plot revolves around the investigation by husband and wife private detective team the Hillmans (Karl-Arne Holmsten and Annalisa Ericson) into the murder of model turned blackmailer Katja Sundin, the titular Mannequin in Red. At the swanky haute couture fashion house La Femme where she worked there are all number of intrigues, rivalries, and allegiances, everybody is eavesdropping on everybody else, and the place is chock full of suspects and red herrings once more murders inevitably start happening.

Having recently watched Mai Zetterling's Loving Couples it was fun to see three of it's stars Anita Björk, Gio Petré, and Lissi Alandh in a very different film playing very different roles although Lissi seems to be a coded lesbian once again, but a lot happier this time. Mannequin in Red is the second of five "Hillman" detective mystery films directed by Arne Mattsson all with a colour in the title (Lady in Black, Rider in Blue, The White Lady, and The Yellow Car are the others) and I'm quite keen to see them all now!
