The Great Gösta Ekman (6-disc)

THE GREATEST SWEDISH ACTORS OF ALL TIME!

HIS SIX BEST FILMS IN RESTORED CONDITION.

Biggest, best and most beautiful! When Gösta Ekman was buried on January 18, 1938 in Stockholm, the funeral procession was followed by 100,000 people who wanted to show the great actor their appreciation. Our country has never experienced a similar mass manifestation since then. Studio S is proud to have collected six of Ekman's best films in one box set that simultaneously shows his enormous breadth — the silent film "The Gyurkovics", the two international blockbusters "Faust" and "The Clown", the first Swedish sound film "For her sake" and the comedies "Dear Family" and "The King is Coming". The collection also includes a large amount of unique bonus material. All films are being released on DVD for the first time in Sweden.
