Upon his return he is heartbroken to learn that his family did not survive. Then when a ship is wrecked during a storm the sailor rushes to help, but is astonished to find that same former captain fighting for his life.  The sailor now has a chance for revenge.

"Karin, Daughter of Ingmar" is a drama featuring director Victor Sjöström (Seastrom), a star of Silent Hall of Fame. It is based on a novel by the Nobel-prize winning novelist Selma Lagerlöf.

A young woman can't forgive her fiance for getting drunk and rejects him. In an ironic twist of fate, the man she marries becomes an alcoholic. 

Here is a review of the film, written by our esteemed member Zach Snow.

Following the success of his melodrama Ingmar's Sons, Swedish filmmaker Victor Sjöström followed up with this similarly ambitious sequel. The second part of his adaptation of Selma Lagerlof’s novel Jerusalem failed to make the same impact among viewers who expected another sweeping epic. Instead this film is more subdued, which may be why more recent viewers have ranked it among the director’s earliest gems. Karin rejects the love of good man Halfvor in favor of Elias, a drunken lout who abuses her after family patriarch Ingmar is killed in a flood. After some years have passed, Halfvor cannot forget the love of his life and agrees to watch over the handicapped Elias for her; when the drunkard dies, suspicion in the town falls on the reunited couple.

Lagerlof’s story is pure old-fashioned melodrama, rife with familial tensions and unrequited love, though the film version has certainly been enhanced by Sjöström’s artistic production. Produced through the Swedish company Biograph AB, this second installment displays a new maturity for Sjöström in the presentation of landscape shots, period costumes, and performances which feel more naturalistic than in the popular first film. Not the most accessible of his silent productions, since Sjöström really began to blossom as a filmmaker with The Phantom Carriage and his Hollywood dramas, his chronicle of the old-fashioned Ingmar family remains fascinating and further indicates why its creator was heralded as a pioneer of the Swedish film industry.

Best remembered as the old man of Bergman’s Wild Strawberries, which indicates how much subsequent generations thought of his work, Victor Sjöström began his career as an actor when motion pictures were still an oddity in Sweden; here he reprises his role as Ingmar, the ill-fated patriarch whose spirit continues to haunt and demand virtue from his family. Tora Teje, who would also appear in Haxan two years later, is lovely if a bit too stiff as the put upon daughter Karin, with Tor Weijden as her spurned suitor and Bertil Malmstedt as her frail younger brother. Nils Lundell overacts a bit as the often pathetic husband Elias, though ultimately makes for an effective heavy. The initial failure of this film with viewers and critics led Sjöström to abandon plans to complete a trilogy, part three was made by Gustof Molander seven years later, though in retrospect it offers early evidence of what he, and Sweden’s film industry, had to offer.

   Victor Seastrom - director

Silent Hall of Fame is looking for contributors to create an original biography for this star.


Victor Sjöström, in the United States sometimes known as Victor Seastrom (20 September 1879 – 3 January 1960) was a Swedish film director, screenwriter and actor. He began his career in Sweden, before moving to Hollywood in 1924. Sjöström worked primarily in the silent era; his best known films include The Phantom Carriage (1921), He Who Gets Slapped (1924) and The Wind (1928). Later in life, he played the leading role in Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries (1957).

Biography

Born in Silbodal, in the Värmland region of Sweden, he was only a year old when his father, Olof Adolf Sjöström, moved the family to Brooklyn, New York. His mother died when he was seven years old in 1886. Sjöström returned to Sweden where he lived with relatives in Stockholm, beginning his acting career at 17 as a member of a touring theater company.

Drawn from the stage to the fledgling motion picture industry, he made his first film in 1912 under the direction of Mauritz Stiller. Between then and 1923, he directed another forty-one films in Sweden, some of which are now lost. Those surviving include The Sons of Ingmar (1919), Karin, Daughter of Ingmar (1920) and The Phantom Carriage (1921), all based on stories by the Nobel-prize winning novelist Selma Lagerlöf. Many of his films from the period are marked by subtle character portrayal, fine storytelling and evocative settings in which the Swedish landscape often plays a key psychological role. The naturalistic quality of his films was enhanced by his (then revolutionary) preference for on-location filming, especially in rural and village settings.

In the 1920s he accepted an offer from Louis B. Mayer to work in the United States. In Sweden, he had acted in his own films as well as in those for others but in Hollywood, he devoted himself solely to directing. In 1924, using an anglicised name, Victor Seastrom, he made Name the Man, a dramatic film based on the Hall Caine novel. He went on to direct great stars of the day such as Greta Garbo, John Gilbert, Lillian Gish, Lon Chaney, and Norma Shearer in another eight films in America before his first talkie in 1930.

Uncomfortable with the modifications needed to direct talking films, Victor Sjöström returned to Sweden where he directed two more films before his final directing effort in 1937, an English language drama filmed in the United Kingdom Under the Red Robe. Over the following fifteen years, Sjöström returned to acting in the theatre, performed a variety of leading roles in more than a dozen films and worked as director of the Svensk Film Industri company. At age 78 he gave his final acting performance, probably his best remembered, as the elderly professor in Ingmar Bergman's film Wild Strawberries (1957).

Victor Sjöström died in Stockholm at the age of eighty and was interred there in the Norra begravningsplatsen (Northern cemetery).
