About This Movie

Ebberöds bank is a 1935 comedy film that centers on a poor tailor who, with the help of his American cousin, attempts to start a bank in his small town. This film showcases a blend of humor and financial ambition, making it a notable piece from the era.

The story follows a poor tailor in Ebberöd who is visited by his American cousin, John Andrews. Rumors suggest that Andrews has brought a fortune of 20 million with him. Motivated by this potential wealth, the tailor, a miller, and a wealthy widow decide to open a bank together.

The bank's business thrives as they offer loans at a 4 percent interest rate while providing 8 percent on savings accounts. This comedic take on financial ventures highlights the eccentricities of small-town life and the lengths to which people will go to improve their fortunes. With a talented cast including Sigurd Wallén and Birgit Tengroth, the film offers a glimpse into the comedic storytelling of the 1930s era.

Ebberöds bank has seen limited distribution over the years, which makes it somewhat of a rarity in collector circles. The film has been preserved primarily in older formats, making original prints or decent transfers quite sought after. Its historical context and comedic charm often pique the interest of collectors looking for unique entries in the early European cinema landscape.
