Catch one of Hollywood’s favorite stars in a retrospective at the Nordic cultural center, Scandinavia House (58 Park Ave., between 37th & 38th streets). “Ingrid Bergman, the Swedish Films,” through February, showcases the beloved actress in films made before “Casablanca.” Admission is $8. Find the complete schedule at scandinaviahouse.org.
