The Serpent's Egg is a 1977 English and German film directed by Ingmar Bergman and starring David Carradine as Abel Rosenberg, which is set in 1920s Berlin. This was Bergman's one and only "Hollywood" film. The title is taken from a line spoken by Brutus in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar:
And therefore think him as a serpent's egg
Which hatch'd, would, as his kind grow mischievous;
And kill him in the shell.
