Summer with Monika
Summer with Monika () is a 1953 Swedish romance film directed by Ingmar Bergman, based on Per Anders Fogelström's 1951 novel of the same title. It was controversial abroad at the time of its first release for its frank depiction of nudity and, along with the film "One Summer of Happiness" from the year before, directed by Arne Mattsson, it helped to create the reputation of Sweden as a sexually liberated country.

The film made a star of its lead actress, Harriet Andersson. Bergman had been intimately involved with Andersson at the time and conceived the film as a vehicle for her. The two of them would continue to work together, even after their romantic relationship had ended, in films like "Sawdust and Tinsel", "Smiles of a Summer Night", "Through a Glass Darkly", and "Cries and Whispers".
