It's terrific even though everyone seems to have been dubbed - even the English speaking stars. Make sure you get a 2.35.1 'scope copy like this is, I can't find one, but the sweep of the film needs it.
THE VISIT (OF THE OLD LADY) by Novelist Friedrich Dürrenmatt (Switzerland - 5 January 1921 -- 14 December 1990) (Der Besuch der alten Dame, 1956) is a grotesque fusion of comedy and tragedy about a wealthy woman who offers the people of her hometown a fortune if they will execute the man who jilted her years earlier. ("The Visit" is most likely his masterpiece - also exploring the vain revengeful narcissism of stereotyped women.) It is also a VERY grotesque portrait of white-bread assholes in Switzerland.
This is a forgotten gem though, Bernhard Wiki directed, Bergman and Quninn - never seen it in my life! Not to take from Christiane Hörbiger and Michael Mendl, but, I'm actually certain though THEY had seen the movie, at least at some time in their life, they both seem to come close to pretty good imitations. :o
I saw this movie when I was 12 years old, a rainy day TV feature. I completely understood it and was really into it. Great movie.
A compelling movie with a wonderful performance from Ingrid Bergman.
Two great stars in one masterpiece
from all books i had to read in school this one is my favorit
I LOVE INGRID BERGMAN 11 8 19
Ingrid Bergman was very sensational in this..very rare

Underrated movie. I think that the two stars had an affair and who could blame them?
I...Must......See...This ......Creation.
Very nice movie
