THE OUTLAW AND HIS WIFE (1918) ¢ ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: Victor Sjöström
Victor Sjöström, Edith Erastoff, John Ekman, Nils Aréhn
A Swedish variation on "Les Miserables", set in Iceland but filmed in northern Sweden, about a man who becomes a thief because he has no other options for survival. It ends tragically, when the title characters, old and on the point of starvation, walk out into a blizzard and freeze to death. Those Swedes sure know how to have a good time.
