The Dove is a 1968 short film (14 minutes) directed by George Coe and Anthony Lover.It is a parody of the films of Ingmar Bergman. Victor (Coe), an elderly professor, is being driven to his university to give a lecture. When he stops to take a poop in a roadside outhouse, he finds a wooden dove inside. The sight of the dove sends his memories back decades, to an eventful picnic by the lake with his extended family, including his sister Inga.Film debut of Madeline Kahn, who plays Sigrid.

Bathos: The entire film runs on this, as it juxtaposes a very meticulous recreation of the aesthetic of Ingmar Bergman with silly faux-Swedish dialogue and scatological humor.
