The Parson's Widow

Divinity student Söfren (Einar Röd) has been parentally forbidden to wed his beloved Mari (Greta Almroth) until he has a ministry of his own. Fortunately, a parsonage has opened up in a remote little village. Unfortunately, the job comes with the obligation to marry the late parson’s elderly wife (Hildur Carlberg)! Uncharacteristically comic early effort for Carl Theodor Dreyer also stars Mathilde Nielsen. 71 min. Standard; Soundtrack: musical score; bonus shorts “They Caught the Ferry” (1948), “Thorvaldsen: Denmark’s Great Sculptor” (1949). Silent with musical score.
