AllMovie

As noted by James Stewart in The Philadelphia Story, there's nothing like watching the privileged class enjoy its privileges. This was the principal attraction of the 1948 Swedish comedy, Livet pa Forsbyholm Manor (Life at Forsbyholm Manor). Henrik Hill's screenplay manages to leave no stone unturned in finding workable comic situations in and around a drafty old mansion. Immensely popular Scandinavian stars Sickan Carlsson and Egon Larsson managed to help the audiences ignore the film's paucity of plot. Outside of Sweden, however, the film did next to no business.
