In this evergreen Swedish charmer, distinguished lawyer Fredrik Egerman (Bjornstrand) brings painfully young wife Anne (Jacobsson) to see a theatrical performance, featuring beautiful but mature actress Desiree Armfeldt (Dahlbeck), who’s also the lawyer’s long-time mistress. Reconnected with her paramour, Desiree arranges a weekend party at her mother’s, inviting the Egermans, her own current lover (of whom she has tired), and his wife. A delightful game of romantic musical chairs ensues, where everyone ends up in a more suitable position.
