...Ingmar Bergman looks like a Levine caricature of himself. His face is a series of exaggerated downward thrusts-from the sloping hooded lids of his gray eyes to the long beaked nose and long chin. Although usually smiling and pleasant, he demands exact preparation and painstaking orderliness. He is on a first-name basis with each member of his German crew, and they with him.

Said one former combat pilot, standing before a full-scale diorama of aerial combat with a B-17 under attack: "It's so real that you want to duck the chin gunner. Wait'll the kids see this." Another veteran who flew over Europe said wistfully as he viewed the empty aircraft: "I see faces. The faces of those who didn't come back." There is still more.
