SAWDUST AND TINSEL (1953)
Albert, an ageing circus owner has become involved with Anna, a young trapeze artist. On returning to his home town , he wants to revisit his wife and family but Anna is jealous. She's offered to a young actor but neither she nor Albert find contentment and are forced back into each other's arms and the mutually destructive relationship.
In Bergman's hands, the circus becomes the ideal metaphor for the way people perform in order to fulfill dreams and desires. Anna is played by Harriet Anderson, who made her acting debut in the director's Summer With Monika, has also appeared in Through A Glass Darkly, and Fanny And Alexander.
