Newsreel clips coupled with the lives of fictional families.

This Svensk Film Production, released in the US in March of 1939, in a 105 minute version, depicts every noteworthy event (in the eyes of the film-makers) in Sweden from the death of King Oscar II, in 1907, to the celebration of the 80th birthday of King Gustave V in Stockholm in June of 1938.

This film is comprised largely of newsreel clips intermixed with the fictional story of the family lives of a working man and a well-to-do newspaper editor through two generations, with a special significance in the showing of the development of the social-democratic form of government in Sweden.

Directed and written by Sigurd Wallen, the film made its US debut at NYC's 48th Street Theatre, with Swedish dialogue and English titles.
