Secrets of Women (Swedish: Kvinnors väntan) is a 1952 film directed by Ingmar Bergman.
The film is one of the director's early films and is basically a drama about young relationships told by a group of women (in flashbacks). However, as it came to be afterwards: the most memorable part of the film is the funny elevator-scene between actors Gunnar Björnstrand and Eva Dahlbeck (a scene that was written as a kind of sketch and is almost pure comedy). That scene became Bergman's first try at comedy on film; and he later stated that it was that very scene that made him realize he could write comedy at all (which he more successfully showed a few years later in films A Lesson in Love (1954) and Smiles of a Summer Night (1955)), and he was inspired for his later script-writing in the comedy genre by the scene in this film.
