RIP Bergman, soap commercial king

Slate has a short video that takes a look at a neglected aspect of Ingmar Bergman's film career - soap commercials.

Bergman produced the commercials in the 1950s to pick up extra money during a studio shutdown and they're rather clever, combining aspects of theater and film. One is a parody of the 3D movie craze.
