Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was originally released as two parts in Sweden: "Gösta Berlings saga I" on 10 March 1924 and "Gösta Berlings saga II" seven days later. The two-part version was also used in Finland and Norway, but for the rest of the world a shorter, one-part export version was made.
- GoofsThe 1920s Soviet Russian film poster says 'Hans Larson' (Gans Larson) instead of Lars Hanson.
Posters have nothing to do with the filmmakers and, therefore, are not acceptable as goofs.
- Quotes
Opening Title Card: O Värmland, lovely land that you are, with your glittering lakes and distant blue mountains, your deep forests and lively streams! Come with us to the heart of that land!

Featured review
I have to change my previous review as I have watched the true version with a pretty darn good soundtrack that Kino released onto DVD and about time too. All I can say is that if you have seen the atrocious VHS version then do yourself a big favour and buy this one, there is simply no comparison, if you haven't seen the VHS version, well, do yourself a favour and get the DVD anyway. Garbo is very young in this and quite unrecognisable, but, she is very good as Elisabeth. You can see why Lars Hanson was later hand picked by Lillian Gish to star with her in "The Scarlet Letter" and "The Wind" and hopefully this will increase his fanbase. And you're left wondering why director Mauritz Stiller never became the success that another Swedish director Victor Sjostrom was.
