Ingrid Bergman

Recently arriving on The Criterion Collection is Stig Björkman‘s intimate documentary Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words, which we said “offers an honest and tortured view into Bergman’s pathological hunger for acting and a look at a complicated persona that eschews traditional feminine stereotypes, and occasionally, an overwhelming wanderlust.”

One of the many pleasures when it comes to special features is a selection of 8mm home movies from Bergman. While a longer collection of footage is available on the disc, Criterion have released online a brief clip featuring Alfred Hitchcock slicing some steak for a group gathered around near the release of Spellbound, making for a essential vintage watch for fans of both.

Check out the clip below, along with 1966 TV movie The Human Voice, which we named one of the actress’ top 10 performances.

Ingrid Bergman: In Her Own Words is now available on The Criterion Collection.
