Fortunately, Bergman is prolific. He gets most of his ideas for movies while making movies. He sees the idea suddenly, "a brightly colored thread sticking out of the dark sack of the unconscious," and "this thread I wind up carefully."

When a scenario is finished, Bergman submits it to Carl Anders Dymling, SF's courtly and cultured boss. Sometimes Bergman rewrites a script three times before both are satisfied. But once the script is set, Dymling...

Entitled Seated Man with Owl, it was a proud new acquisition for one of the nation's finest little museums, fell to Smith's lot because Baskin happens to teach there...
...Hobart, Tasmania. His mother, Errol says, considered him "a nasty little boy," and at 16 he almost killed another youngster in a fight, was expelled from school and took work as an office boy. Caught dipping into petty cash to bet on the horses, he got the sack, had to sleep in public parks till he heard of a gold strike in New Guinea. At 17, he set out to make his fortune, and for the next five years he lived by his remarkably quick wits in a wild and woolly part of the world. First off, he bluffed...
