Bergman Movies with Maj-Britt from earliest 50's

Especially in the youthful looking-back scenes of "Summerplay", swedish actress Maj-Britt Nilsson reminds me extremely much of Harriet Andersson, like Bergman had shaped the same woman.

At the same time Maj-Britt makes this ballet dancer Marie so completely different from herself (portraying a gap of ten years) that I actually believed it was two different actresses.

(In Gunvall's "Sjösala spring" from -49 I have no memories of Maj-Britt acting so alike or unlike someone else. Maybe just because my attention went most to it's main character Evert Taube.)
