Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Released in the U.S. as It's My Model, this Swedish comedy was the only 1946 effort by veteran director Gustav Molander. Far more lighthearted than earlier Molander endeavors, this one stars Maj-Britt Nilsson as an artist's model and Alf Kjellin as an idealistic young sculptor. In Kjellin's eyes, Nilsson is the literal embodiment of the monument he has been commissioned to finish. What Kjellin cannot admit to himself is that he is falling in love with the girl, but this revelation comes in due time. It is clear from first frame to last that Molander intended to "mold" Maj-Britt Nilsson into a major star, just as he'd perviously done for Ingrid Bergman and Signe Hasso.
