Ingrid Bergman Movies-Best to Worst- With Adjusted Box Office Results/Grosses.
76Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in 1942's Casablanca...one of the best movies ever made.
Three time Academy Award® winner Ingrid Bergman(1915-1982) was one of the top Hollywood stars in the 1940s. Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden and began appearing in Swedish films as early as 1932. She would appear in 11 movies made in Sweden before she was noticed by American producer David O. Selznick. Selznick signed her to a one picture deal and brought to the United States(he did the same with Hitchcock around this time as well). Bergman could not speak any English at all when she arrived to film the movie, 1939's Intermezzo: A Love Story, and figured she would rejoin her husband and daughter back in Sweden when Intermezzo was done filming. She got that one wrong. Instead Bergman became known as "Sweden's illustrious gift to Hollywood."
Bergman's career was like a roller coaster. Many ups, downs, twists and turns over a forty year career. The 1940s were the peak of her career as she appeared in classic movie after classic movie....including winning her first Oscar® for 1944's Gaslight. While filming the 1950 movie Stromboli, the still-married Bergman, gave birth to Roberto Rossellini's(director of Stromboli) child. The scandal caused her to leave America and retreat back to Europe. The next 6 years, her movies were not well received and she was considered box office poison. She rebounded with her Oscar® winning performance in 1956's Anastasia. The rest of the 1950s, Bergman was back in successfully movies. From 1960 until 1978 she would only appear in 9 more movies. The highlights of the later part of her career were winning her third Oscar® for 1974's Murder on the Orient Express and her Oscar® nominated performance in 1978's Autumn Sonata. Autumn Sonata would turn out to be her last performance. Ingrid Bergman passed away in 1982 following complications from a breast cancer operation.
According to IMDB, Ingrid Bergman has 53 acting credits in her career. This hub will only look at 32 of her movies. Her 13 Swedish movies, her one cameo and her 7 television show appearances did not make the hub. This hub will rank her 32 movies according to box office grosses, critical and public reception and by Movie Score.

Possibly interesting information.
1. Ingrid Bergman got to play the character, Anita Hoffman, twice in the movies. The first time was in the 1936 Swedish film Intermezzo. When super producer David O. Selznick saw the movie he bought the rights to the movie and Bergman's services to play the same role in 1939's Intermezzo: A Love Story.
2. Ingrid Bergman was nominated 7 times for an Oscar® for her movie roles. She won three times. She was also nominated 7 times for the Golden Globe® awards.....she won that award three times as well.
3. According to the American Film Institute, Ingrid Bergman is the 4th greatest female star of all-time.
4. Ingrid Bergman starred in three Alfred Hitchcock movies....two of them are classics...1945's Spellbound and 1946's Notorious.....and one of them is easily forgotten....1949's Under Capricorn....sorry Flora and Steve.
5. Ingrid Bergman was married twice in her life. Her first marriage was to Petter Lindström in 1937. Their marriage lasted until 1949 and they had one daughter, Pia. In 1950 she married director Roberto Rossellini. They had one son, Renato and twin daughters Isabella and Isotta. Isabella has been in such movies as Death Becomes Her and Blue Velvet.
6. Roles Ingrid Bergman turned down or was seriously considered for ...An Affair To Remember, The Miracle Worker, Interiors, The Paradine Case, Planet of the Apes and Spartacus.
7. During her scandal in the early 1950s....Cary Grant was one of the few people to stand up for Bergman during the scandal. When she won her second Oscar® for 1956's Anastasia ....she asked Grant to accept the honor for her.
8. Casablanca is probably her most famous role. Casablanca is ranked #2 of all movies made according to the American Film Institute(AFI). Six of the quotes in Casablanca are ranked in the Top 10 of movie quotes...also according to AFI. My favorite is "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship"...what a way to end a movie.
9. It took Ingrid Bergman and director Ingmar Bergman almost 40 years to work together...but the two Swedish legends finally made 1978's Autumn Sonata. Bergman received her final Oscar® nomination for the role.
10. Ingrid Bergman is the 68th actor/actress to receive a Cogerson career review hub page. My Greatest Actors/Actress Table has two separate tables....the first table ranks the 68 actors using all of their movies. Ingrid Bergman comes in at #7 on that table one spot behind of #6 Spencer Tracy. The second table only looks at the actor's Top Ten Movie Score Movies. On that table Ingrid Bergman comes in at #9....just behind #8 James Stewart and just ahead of #10 Gregory Peck.

by the way, I have seen the tv movie Golda, as well. I know it wasn't incuded. but as she was dying while she was making it, I thought I would mention this.
"Play it Sam, play... As Time Goes By" (wipes tear)
A Hollywood legend, excellent work Cogerson. Flora has seen more of her films than I have. From your list I've only seen 11. Thought I'd seen a lot more.
Needless to say I agree with the critics score, Casablanca being one of my top 20 favourite films and my favourite film of the 1940's.
Notorious is one of my favourite Hitchcock films, I like Spellbound too. Under Capricorn isn't a favourite.
Jekyll and Hyde is another top film, watched it again recently.
I have to confess to not seeing The Belles of St. Mary's one of her most popular films. I think she won an Oscar for it, Cogerson?
Voted Up and Interesting.
btw I voted for Billy. :)
Wow looking at her list of movies, I have only seen Casablanca and that was years ago at college. But I did find the story of her scandal fascinating. I googled it to get the rest of the story. I have never heard about a star having to leave the country because of an affair. Granted I sure that scandal might have made it hard to play wholesome women parts but back then. Nowadays the baby would be a celebrity. Nice hub.
I thought she made more movies than she did. I enjoyed Gaslight (it was on TV recently), Notorious and of course Casablanca were very good movies. I remember as a kid when she got pregnant but not her husband's child-it was quite a scandal then. Good work Cogerson - always enjoy your HUBS....still waiting on William Holden.
I seen Joan of Ark, Gaslight and Casablanca. Great movies all. Angela Lansbury of Murder she Wrote fame played such a sexy role in Gaslight as a naughty maid!
I enjoyed Casablanca. The way people became more noble in it. At least that is the message I got from it.
I would like to see Joan again. It has been years since I watched it.
The public was so judgemental then. Now actress climb out of limos missing important clothing just to get on utube.
ho-hum, sounds like you picked a co-star to Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, Humphrey Bogart, Jose Ferrer, Albert Finney, Charles Boyer, and Walter Matthau.
Excellent Hub :)
Ingrid who? Name sounds familiar but I've never seen her movies. Fantastic tribute hub!! Can we get a pulse now? Voted UP/Interesting/Awesome ... I did learn some interesting info about Ms Bergman :)
Interesting hub on an actress I am not too familair with, but I have seen a few of her movies. Interesting story about her "scandal". That would not get much press these days. Voted up and interesting.
A great star, extremely talented. I'd put her in the top actresses of all time category (Along with Kate Hepburn, Bette Davis and Merryl Sreep). And she was beautiful, too.
Did you know that her last role was in a made-for-TV film called "A Woman Called Golda", (1982) where she played Golda Meir. It was released the same year she died. She won an emmy for best actress in a TV movie, but sadly she passed away 3 weeks before the ceremony. Her daughter Pia Lindstrom accepted her postumous trophy.
My favorite film of hers is "Casablanca", which I've seen a zillion times. An interesting fact is that she didn't know how the film was going to end while she was shooting it and she didn't know if her character Ilsa was in love with Rick or with Victor. Her confusion actually added to her character's on-screen ambiguity about who she wanted to be with.
Great actress. Great hub.
Rob
Hi, Cogerson - I loved reading this hub about the beautiful and talented Ingrid Bergman. I don't think I have ever seen Anastasia and boy do I want to now. Funny, my son's girlfriend has often been compared to Ingrid and we have Ingrid "staring" as our girl in the fake "Story of Our Lives" in which we suggest actors who would play us in a phony bio pic. Haha. Our girl becomes so annoyed at the suggestion. Why? To be compared to the lovely Ingrid is a great compliment.
Suggestion for hub #100-do you have a favourite actor or actress you haven't already done? I think for #100 the name should be one you have seen more than 50% of the films.
I think I have only seen two of her movies, Casablanca and Murder on the Orient Express. Great detail and lots of facts in your tables. Great job. Voted up and interesting.
Hint. Bob Hope was 100 when he died. :)
oh, a non-movie hub is allowed :) I just meant that it shouldn't be someone who doesn't interest you personally.
Steve: yes, Bob Hope dying at 100 and 100th hub would be apt.
Tomorrow night 8p, Pacific (Mon.26th) TCM is airing The Inn of the Sixth Happiness as part of a night of movies about the Chinese.
@Cogerson...I'm always surprised at the star's top box office hit -- "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for Ingrid. I would have thought "Casablanca", or "Notorious".
I know critics thought she was woefully miscast in "Cactus Flower", but I loved her in that part, and thought she got everything just perfect with Walter Matthau.
Love this stuff!

Note: I know all about Under Capricorn not working despite the great cast. I have yet to see it and it is the only Hitch film during the time he started in Hollywood until the end of his career that I have not seen. the few that I'm missing are British titles. Since it doesn't seem to be carried by TCM in Canada and I refuse to buy it just to say I have seen it, I will likely never see this movie. Bergman and Cotten. Too bad.
She was right to turn down The Paradine Case. Selznick really interfered in that film and made it too wordy and boring. I own it because the Hitch/Selznick films are in a box set, and I saw it for Peck, but really I often forget it exists.
Regarding Casablanca. She never understood why people considered it one of the best films of all time or why no one ever asked her about other films. She thought it was good, but hardly a classic.
Well, back to the list of films in terms of what I have and have not seen of her Hollywood films.
I have seen 8 of her top 10 box office hits, 9 of her top 10 critic picks, and 8 of her top ten movie score hits.
The films I have *not* seen of these lists in Movie Score Order:
For Whom the Bell Tolled
Saratoga Trunk
The highest on the list I've seen is number 1: Gaslight The lowest on this list I've seen is 27: Rage in Heaven.
I have seen a total of 16 of her Hollywood movies, exactly 50%.
I *cannot* tell you a favourite movie. I cannot choose one or even order any of the top 5 films I've seen in preference.
My 5 favourite films of hers in alphabetical order only:
Casablanca
Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
Gaslight
Murder on the Orient Express
Notorious
The reason why Spellbound doesn't make this list despite my lovin gthe film is because she made too many great films, plus as a psych major I find any sort of psychoanalysis in films makes me remember how, actually, if you ask psychologists today, they don't hold Freud in such high regard anymore. It seems Anna O did a lot of her own psychoanalysis and he took credit for it as her doctor, etc. These thoughts come to my mind and interfere with such themed movies.
The complete list of films I've seen in movie Order is:
Gaslight
The Bells of St. Mary's
Casablanca
Murder on the Orient Express
Spellbound-I can't believe this is higher than notorious
Notorious
Anastasia
Joan of Arc
Cactus Flower
The Inn of the sixth Happiness
Indiscreet
Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
Intermezzo: A love Story
The Yellow Rolls Royce
Adam Had Four Sons
Rage in Heaven
