AllMovie

Sweden's Hasse Ekman was producer, director and costar of the sentimental drama I Dodens Vantrum. The title translates as In the Waiting Room of Death, but it isn't as grim as it appears to be. Set in a Swiss hospital, the film deals with the romance between a terminal patient and a doctor. Future Hollywood luminary Viveca Lindfors heads the cast, but acting honors are taken by co-star Stig Jarrel. The film's biggest drawing card is its vivid location photography of the Swiss Alps. When Viveca Lindfors gained fame in America, I Dodens Vantrum was released stateside as Interlude.
