Bergman Is Superb in Saratoga Trunk December 12, 2005
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I would rate this film high on my list of Ingrid Bergman films. Ingrid's beauty aside, her talent is evident in scene afer scene. She was sad, mean, witty, snobbish, flirtatious, delightfully funny, loving, tender, sorrowful, distressed, happy, etc. You name it, she was all those things and more. -And so convincing. She made her character come alive! What an actress! The electricity in this film between Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman is evident in every scene they are together. I have watched Saratoga Trunk many times. Each time I have come away with the feeling of deep satisfaction and enjoyment.
Railroad barons and creole charms July 31, 2005

My favorite Edna Ferber book is charmingly adapted to the big screen. Set in the 1870s, it is by far Ingrid Bergman's finest role, maybe being a brunette mulatto instead of a blonde Swede loosens her up. Her character Clio completely bedazzles the handsome but poor Texan Clint Maroon (Gary Cooper) amusingly she "brands" his clothing with his initials. Clio has bigger fish to fry, she is after a wealthy husband and the respectability that eluded her courtesean Mother and Aunt and she will stop at nothing to get her way. The railroad wars that swept this country in the middle of 19th century as robber barons fought over the potential wealth that public transportation would bring provides a climax for this epic tale of love and revenge.

 Character actress saves the day! September 6, 2003
1 out of 10 found this review helpful
While I concur that English actress Flora Robson playing a "mulatto" is stretching things a bit, her studied performance, as well set decorations, is the only reason that this Cooper/Bergman vehicle is tolerable. Robson had an extremely long career on the stage and in film, comparable to contemporary Dame Judith Anderson. By portraying the role of Bergman's maid, she joined a rather short list, including Lord Olivier ("Othello") and Ava Gardner ("Showboat"), of white actors "passing" as black. Hey, it was the norm, back in the day. "Saratoga Trunk" was no different from most era westerns or historical dramas in the practice of white actors portraying persons of color.
