Styrman Karlssons flammor
1938 film
Styrman Karlssons flammor (First Mate Karlsson's Sweethearts)[1][2] is a 1938 Swedish comedy film directed by Gustaf Edgren.[2] The script was written by Oscar Rydqvist and Oscar Hemberg.[3] It was based on Sigge Strömberg's novels Styrman Karlssons flammor and Styrman Karlssons bröllopsresa, which were published in 1918 and 1919. Edgren had earlier created a silent version of the film, also titled Styrman Karlssons flammor, in 1925.[2] Three actors appeared in both films: Karin Swanström, Knut Lambert, and Nils Whiten. In Denmark, Annelise Reenberg created a Danish version of the same novels in 1958 called Styrmand Karlsen.
The Norwegian actress Nanna Stenersen played the role of Bessie Mathiesen, and another Norwegian actor, Alfred Maurstad, played a minor role as the smuggler Joe.
The film had its Swedish premiere at the Scandia theater in Stockholm on September 19, 1938.
