Strictly professional he begun writing in 1941. He had written a play called 'Kaspers död' (A. K. A. 'Kaspers Death') which was produced the same year. It became his entrance into the movie business as Stina Bergman (not a close relative), from the company S. F. (Swedish Filmindustry), had seen the play and thought that there must be some dramatic talent in young Ingmar. His first job was to save other more famous writers' poor scripts.

He took the novel, did the save-poor-script job first, then wrote a screenplay on his own novel. When he went back to S. F. , he delivered two scripts rather than one.
