Yeah, that's one of those "oh Shit!" moments one has as soon as one hits the send button. I thought to amend my list, but felt a certainty that someone would step in and add on. It isn't like I didn't hear about Bergman's death a couple of dozen times today, and I'm sure most of us had heard many times. I guess I saw my first Bergman films when I was 9 or 10 (around '67 or '68), and even then it was easy to understand why they were classics. The scenes of Max Von Sydow preparing himself for vengeance in The Virgin Spring had a powerful effect on me and I was fascinated by the scene where the knight plays chess with death in The Seventh Seal. I've never been a big Bergman fan, but his films contained potent images that stayed with you. xponent Willow Branches Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
