...Nykvist, found a compromise. Says Nykvist: "Ingmar and I agreed to shoot color in black and white." Although most of the film captures the dark, gray quality of drab Berlin, Bergman has punctuated the gloom with bright and often zany scenes. "After years of crying for him," says Liv Ullmann, who plays Manuela, the nightclub entertainer whom Carradine loves, "Ingmar has finally allowed me to sing and dance." Wearing the scantiest of costumes, Ullmann was ordered to perform badly a bawdy German ballad called I Have a Sweet Bonbon for the audience of the sleazy cabaret called the Blue Mule...
With an all-star cast-Robert Redford, James Caan, Laurence Olivier, Liv Ullmann, Ryan O'Neal, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine and Sean Connery -Producer Joseph Levine claims to have already received enough backing from eager distributors to cover his $25 million outlay for A Bridge Too Far. The saga of the abortive Allied attempt to cross the Rhine in 1944 by parachuting 35,000 men behind the lines into Holland, the movie employed an army all by itself.

If Ullmann takes a sharp focus on Bergman, she is equally exacting about some other famous men she has met. Among them: Soviet Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko and former President Richard Nixon...
...because Face to Face has a number of things going for it. The acting is superb. Liv Ullmann's performance is, as always, extraordinarily sensitive. The excessive use of close-ups works against her at times. No matter how gifted an actor may be, the finite set of possible facial expressions can only provide a crude approximation of what is going on inside. Erland Josephson also gives a remarkable performance--better even than in Scenes from a Marriage--as Tomas, Jenny's friend, and later her doctor. And again, the details of Jenny's collapse are convincing...
