Customer Reviews of Saratoga Trunk
wonderful period movie! fabulous adaption of edna ferber's nove...set in tun-of-the-century new orleans. ingrid bergman is luminous as clio dulaine and the costumes are ravishing!Supporting actors wonderful and Gary Cooper is perfect as clint. A must-see!
The ONLY Gary Cooper movie I've ever liked
Miscast? Hardly (in my opinion). This movie was a favorite of mine on the local stations' after school or latenight slots (in those ancient days before cable) and I waited years for it to be released in video. I can't imagine anyone being a fan of both Bergman AND Gary Cooper, but Bergman fans shouldn't let Cooper's presence be a deterrent . . . he's actually kinda attractive in this. Ingrid is, of course, stunning. But why doesn't anyone mention the fact that she plays one of Ferber's favorite archetypes: the light-skinned Black woman seeking to avenge her mother's mistreatment? She's quite believable in the role and the relationship between her and her maid/companion sets this apart from a lot of other films where Black actors are cast only as servants.
Character actress saves the day!
While I concur that English actress Flora Robson playing a "mulatto" is stretching things a bit, her studied performance, as well set decorations, is the only reason that this Cooper/Bergman vehicle is tolerable.
Robson had an extremely long career on the stage and in film, comparable to contemporary Dame Judith Anderson. By portraying the role of Bergman's maid, she joined a rather short list, including Lord Olivier ("Othello") and Ava Gardner ("Showboat"), of white actors "passing" as black.
Hey, it was the norm, back in the day. "Saratoga Trunk" was no different from most era westerns or historical dramas in the practice of white actors portraying persons of color.
