Maj på Malö (1948)

Synopsis
Maj Pa Malo is an all-but-untranslatable title. Suffice to say that it refers to one of several popular songs penned by prolific Swedish singer-composer Evert Taube. Set in Western Sweden, the wisp of a plotline is built around Taube's songs, not unlike Hollywood's Irving Berlin "inventory" musicals. As such, the film did well in Sweden and in countries where Taube was a household word, but made little if any impression elsewhere. Worth noting is the fact that Maj Pa Malo was one of the first film assignments for internationally renowned cinematographer Sven Nykvist. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
