Bröderna Östermans huskors (1945) watch online HD

Bröderna Östermans Huskors (1945) is probably best remembered for an (at least at the time) stirring nude sequence with the sweet Emy Hagman. The scene itself is pretty lame by today standards, but I could imagine how it was received back in the 1940s. The story involves maid Anna Söderberg (Hagman), who takes on her responsibility to transform lazy archipelago brothers Kalle (Jahr), Lasse (Rolén), Nisse (Elfström) in to civilized men, with table manors, and all a woman possibly could wish for. This film could have been a boring farce like so many other Swedish comedies produced at the time, but instead director Ivar Johansson together with Erik Lundegård created 104 minutes of Swedish joy. Personally I would say this was a pleasant surprise, to bad the end is disappointing.

Filmed earlier in 1925, 1932 (Sweden), 1943 (Denmark) and later in 1967 (Denmark). Adapted from a play by Oscar Wennersten.
