His Lordship's Last Will

A unique film in Victor Sjöström's production: an elegant, enchanting comedy with delightful acting by the famous character actor, Karl Mantzius, and by Greta Almroth. The novel by Hjalmar Bergman on which the film is based quickly became a popular favourite when published in 1910. The direction is light and careful, the milieu precise, and the ingredients entertaining: an elderly, fat count, his valet, a beautiful young niece, and a very complicated will.
