Star of the Month: Ingrid Bergman TCM, Beginning at 6 p.m.

Tonight’s salute to the films of legendary Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman on Turner Classic Movies begins with two films for which she received Best Actress Oscar nominations: the beloved, Best Picture Oscar-nominated drama The Bells of St. Mary’s (1945), costarring Best Actor Oscar nominee Bing Crosby, followed by another Best Picture Oscar nominee, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1943), a war drama adapted from Ernest Hemingway’s novel that marked Bergman’s first Oscar nod and also netted Gary Cooper a nomination for Best Actor. The final four films, continuing into early tomorrow morning, are Bergman’s collaborations with Italian director Roberto Rossellini, beginning with the neo-realist drama Stromboli (pictured) (1950). It was on this film that the star and director began an a air that was seen as scandalous, and which ultimately led to a seven-year marriage, after Bergman left her first husband, and three children (including Isabella Rossellini, who would become a movie star in her own right). The other Bergman/Rossellini creative teamings airing today are in another Italian neo-realist production, Europa ’51 (1952), followed by two 1954 dramas — Journey to Italy and Fear, which was one of the final collaborations between the two artists. — Je Pfeier
