A Ship Bound for India is a 1947 Swedish melodrama film written and directed by Ingmar Bergman, based on the play by Martin Söderhjelm. It was originally released as A Ship to India in the United Kingdom and Frustration in the United States. The film is about the relationships within a family, a subject with which Bergman often dealt in later films, and uses other common devices of Bergman, such as the hard father figure.
