Description:
The Visit (1964) is a film co-production from France, Italy, Germany
and the USA, distributed by 20th Century Fox. It was directed by
Bernhard Wicki and produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and Julien Derode with
Ingrid Bergman and Anthony Quinn as co-producers. The screenplay was by
Ben Barzman, adapted by Maurice Valency from Friedrich Dürrenmatt's
1956 play Der Besuch der alten Dame (literally, The Visit of the Old
Lady).
Plot:Karla Zachanassian (Bergman), a fabulously wealthy woman
returns to the decaying village which she had been forced to leave
years earlier in disgrace. She had had a child by Serge Miller (Quinn)
who denied paternity. Her purpose in this "visit" is to make a deal
with the inhabitants — in exchange for a vast sum of money, she wants
Miller killed. At first reluctant, they eventually accept the
arrangement and Miller is condemned to death. At the last moment, Karla
stops the execution and tells the citizens that they will have to live
with the guilt of what they might have done for the rest of their
lives.
Main themes:Dürrenmatt stresses that The Visit is a comedy.
However, it is a study of the darker elements of human nature. The
themes of the film, as with the play, are greed, revenge and corruption
and the fact that money can buy anything, even justice. Power that
comes from money can lead to hate and even murder and to the collapse
of ordinary morality.
In the stage play, the character of Serge Miller (called Alfred Ill
in the original text of the drama) is killed at the end. In the film,
the execution is halted.
Bergman and Quinn co-starred again six years later in the romantic melodrama A Walk in the Spring Rain (1970).
