The Swedish Peril: Warner Oland and the Birth of Film Propaganda

Aloha all. Quite by accident I came across this 40-minute presentation by Dr. Kim Fahlstedt: The Swedish Peril: Warner Oland and the Birth of Film Propaganda. It was part of the 40th anniversary of the Swenson Center (immigration center,) Stockholm, Sweden, one year ago.

It's not negative as it might sound towards Oland, but a journey to include Oland in the annals of film history in Sweden. Apparently, he's been overlooked! There are a couple of sound hiccups, but very few. So if you've got 40 minutes...Enjoy:

Dear Rush, I took the liberty of pointing anyone (in the comments) to your Warner Oland scrapbook in the Study (with credit to you and your site, of course.) Lou

Thanks for sharing.
If you accept him, watch it. If not, leave it. That easy ;-)

Dear Michael,

Very sensible. A rarity today.

Sincerely,
