Arrow Academy hatches THE SERPENT'S EGG (review)

When Ingmar Bergman ran into tax problems in his native Sweden, he headed west and ended up in Germany where Dino De Laurentiis gave him the money to make the film he wanted, and this big-budgeted tale of 1920s Berlin follows American acrobat Abel as he investigates the mysterious suicide of his brother which might be related to a series of bizarre deaths.  Liv Ullmann and Gert Froebe also star.
