Short filmTranscript
00:00You will see what is left of a man called Gustav III and Bellman.
00:04This is Långa Gaten in Djurgårdstan.
00:07Then there is a bar in the house, of course.
00:10I would think so.
00:11And the girl's name is Ola Winblad.
00:13That's right.
00:14And the drinking gentlemen are Bellman's good friends.
00:17Now comes Skaldenfell.
00:19The greatest singer the north has.
00:22For safety's sake, the role of an opera singer is played,
00:25even though it is a silent film.
00:30But there is also a Bov in the play.
00:39Here we have him.
00:40Is that Ankerström?
00:42Captain Ankerström, yes.
00:44He tries to recruit supporters and distributes pamphlets.
00:47But here are all the royalists.
01:01Where are we now?
01:03In front of Huvudstadgård, where the royalists hold their secret meetings.
01:16Now they have agreed to murder the king.
01:19One for all and all for one.
01:25Here is the opera masquerade.
01:27And over there we have dubbed the hangers with a mask on the face and a doll in the hand.
01:31He offers his moment.
01:49The film is very rarely made,
01:51but it is one of the very first to be made in Sweden, already in 1908.
