Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and romantics. If you loved Dancer in the Dark or The Asphalt Jungle, start here.
The mood
Dark and gritty, warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 17 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1922: an older pace and style.

The criminal couple Louise Kent and Charles Zukor stages a coup in the luxury restaurant Oriental. In the midst of a dance number goes suddenly all the lights out. In the confusion that arises one of the elegant guests is deprived of her jewelry.
