A Man There Was

A Man There Was is a 1917 silent Swedish drama co-written and directed by Victor Sjöström, based on a poem of the same title by Henrik Ibsen. With a budget of SEK 60,000, it was the most expensive Swedish film made up to that point, marking a new direction in Swedish cinema with more funding to fewer films, resulting in better overall quality.
