Thomas Graal's Best Child
Frau Bessie, once a madcap, aristocratic and modern Swedish fraulein, has become now a whimsical and conservative Swedish burgess after her marriage to Herr Thomas Graal. The destabilization of the marriage begins right at the wedding (which contains some hilarious incidents) when Frau Bessie announces the first Graal child must be a girl, creating a terrible conflict with her husband who is hoping for a boy. It takes a scandal to finally end the war between man and wife.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its comedic tension from the clash between a woman's modern whims and her husband's traditional desires, relying on the absurd premise to explore marital expectations with a light touch.
What lingers after the final reel is the charming realization that some domestic battles are timeless in their folly. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Mauritz Stiller
