A trifling, but charming, glimpse from Stockholm in the 1930:s
annofpemberley9 August 2004
This movie is a trifle, but offers glimpses from a winter Stockholm back in the nineteen-thirties. Several Swedish actors contribute to make it a rather charming example of the comedies from that time. Åke Söderblom even gets to sing with Anna-Lisa Ericsson and to provide a grin when he appears in ladies wear. Julia Caesar in a minor part creates one of her wealthy old aunts with a kind heart hidden beneath a harsh exterior.

There is some confusion and a few unfaithful lovers, but even so there is no display of deep emotions . It is all a laughing matter and more interesting as a document from the time. The pawnbroker is a stereotype and the ladies in a hotel for women scream, when a man is sighted within its sacred walls!

Actually pretty good.

Carl-Johan Stjärna, a Swedish count, lives and works in Stockholm as a chamberlain. Stjärna has many debts, therefore he also has huge financial problems. He tries to get more money by having Frans, his manservant, visit a pawn shop. And yes, Carl-Johan also gives attention to some ladies. One of them is Eva Linde, a young and beautiful telephone operator.

"His majesty will have to wait" entertained me a little. I giggled and smiled while watching some scenes. In other words, I actually think that this is a pretty good movie. I would have liked more romance, but I guess that the society wasn´t ready for every intimate moment in 1945. Who would I recommend this movie to? I´m not entirely sure about that. Maybe for people that like the 1940s, royalty and funny misunderstandings.
