Although this was the third Bergman-directed film, it was the first to be released in the United States, in 1949. His two prior films did not get released in the US. Five more years would elapse before another Bergman film, "Sommarlek" (actually Bergman's tenth film), would appear commercially in America.
Ingmar Bergman: 17'50" into the film, can be seen in the amusement park, watching the performance of "Kasper Teater", a marionette show.
