The characterizations of the film's protagonists are inconsistent from scene to scene and some of them leave a viewer with many unanswered questions (like the mother's motivations.) Beyond that, the cinematography is pretty dowdy, particularly the exterior footage.
It has elements that Bergman fans will recognize from his more famous films, and contains sequences of despair and anguish that can haunt a viewer days later. Birger Malmsten, who plays the lead character Johannes and who will be seen in several later Bergman films, is immensely likable and compelling as the hunchback son who finally stands up to his despotic father.
A ship prefix is a combination of letters, usually abbreviations, used in front of the name of a civilian or naval ship.
Today the common practice is to use a single prefix for all warships of a nation's navy, and other prefixes for auxiliaries and ships of allied services, such as coast guards.
The use of ship prefixes is not universal; in particular neither the Third Reich's Kriegsmarine nor the Imperial Japanese Navy used ship prefixes.
Star of India was built in 1863 as Euterpe, a full-rigged iron ship in Ramsey, Isle of Man.
Named for Euterpe, the muse of music, she was a full-rigged (royals and double topsails) iron ship built in 1863 by Gibson, McDonald and Arnold, of Ramsey, Isle of Man, British Isles, for the Indian jute trade of Wakefield Nash and Company of Liverpool.
In 1926, Star of India was sold to the Zoological Society of San Diego, California, to be the centerpiece of a planned museum and aquarium.
