The man from the third row : Hasse Ekman, Swedish cinema and the long shadow of Ingmar Bergman
Fredrik Gustafsson (Author)
Until his early retirement at age 50, Hasse Ekman was one of the leading lights of Swedish cinema -- an actor, writer, and director. Yet today his work is virtually unknown outside of Sweden, eclipsed by the filmography of his occasional collaborator (and frequent rival) Ingmar Bergman. This book follows Ekman's career from his early days as a film journalist, through landmark films such as Girl with Hyacinths (1950), to his retirement amid exhaustion and disillusionment
