Overview
Mauritz Stiller, Svenska Bio, 1919, from Selma Lagerlöf. Three Scottish mercenaries, winter 16th century, murder Sir Arne and take his treasure; Elsalill (Mary Johnson) shelters one of them and learns too late what he did. Julius Jaenzon shoots ice, a frozen sea, a sleigh that will not reach the ship. He had already used double exposure here, a year before The Phantom Carriage. SFI keeps the tinted restoration that plays as a chase across a country that wants the money back.

Scandinavian Realism
Stiller's saga: three Scottish mercenaries, a murdered household, and a frozen sea that will not let the ship leave. The procession across the ice is the image. Jaenzon was already doing double exposures here, a year before the Phantom Carriage.
