Pictures of the Week Pipsqueak Plautus Friday, Dec. 04, 1964 Article Tools Print Email Reprints Sphere addthis_url = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; addthis_pub = 'timecom'; RSS To Love. They meet at her husband's funeral, and it's lust at first sight. She (Harriet Andersson) is a young Swedish widow whose husband left much to be desired. He (Zbigniew Cybulski) is a young Stockholm travel agent who looks like what she needs. "I might want to go south," she sighs receptively. "I might give you a ring," he mutters as he looks her over. When the mourners go home, she skips off to her bedroom, rips off her clothes, flips on a station that plays jazz jazz jazz. Her mother protests: "Hardly decent, is it?" Hardly. Many moviegoers, in fact, will find this picture downright scandalous. But Director Jorn Donner is not prurient; he is Priapic. He does not play the facts of life for sniggers; he displays them, like some pipsqueak Plautus, for grand though gross guffaws.
