record player doesnt skip ?



Just an interesting curiosity... In the middle of the movie, young marie is jumping up and down in some wood planks just aside a playing lp player and the music is perfect. I dont know about old players, but 70's/80's players would certainly skip.

Would that be an overlooked mistake by Bergman?

The same thing came to my mind while watching. Either Bergman found the skipping neglectable or it was the nature of these old 78 rpm players with their heavy needles that they wouldn't skip. I think the first option is more realistic.
