...hand he has a magical, green-eyed charm, on the other a maniacal temper; in his furies he rips phones off the walls, and once in a TV station he hurled a chair through a glass control booth. Bergman can be stuffily bourgeois, particularly in business, and wildly bohemian, especially with women. His steamy affairs have long been the talk of Scandinavia, and he has been married four times.- Few women ever really recover from the Bergman experience, and his ex-wives have not remarried. ("Too tired," explains one.) But they remain his friends, as do his former mistresses, many...
...manner, and not very much taller than his bride-to-be (5 ft. 2 in.). He is not stuffy, and not particularly intellectual either. His flat in unfashionable Pimlico has a laundry on one side and an antique shop on the other, and his friends come chiefly from bohemian Chelsea, Fleet Street, and the theater and fashion world.

With a minimum of stage props and commentary, Actress Stickney has woven an autobiographical chronicle out of Edna Millay's poems and letters, from her youthful dreaming in a Maine seacoast town through her Greenwich Village bohemian days and her married life with Eugen Boissevain to her solitary death...
...Vanzetti, make protest resonant. There was something of a distaff Byron, about her, and on the stage of the '20s she was one kind of romantic lead as Scott Fitzgerald was another. Gallant, windblown, untidy, she was at once genuine and a little gimcrack, gifted and over-facile, bohemian and childishly boastful about how her candle burned at both ends...
