Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman
Saratoga Trunk is a 1945 American Western[2] film (or historical romance film, per the American Film Institute[3]) directed by Sam Wood and starring Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, and Flora Robson. Written by Casey Robinson, based on the 1941 novel Saratoga Trunk by Edna Ferber, the film is about a Texas gambler and the daughter of a Creole aristocrat and his beautiful mistress. They become lovers and work together to seek justice from a society that has ruined their parents and rejected them. The title of the film and novel has a dual meaning. Clio says at one point that she thought a Saratoga trunk had to do with luggage, not a railroad line. It meant both. Saratoga trunks were top of the line for elegant travelers.

^Although TCM.com includes “Western” among the genres for this film, that is extremely misleading. The primary action takes place in Upstate New York, in Saratoga Springs on the bank of the Hudson River. The battle over the trunk line runs from Albany, N.Y. to Binghamton, NY.
