About This Movie

His Grace's Will is a 1940 comedy that revolves around the humorous events surrounding a birthday celebration and a last will and testament. Directed by SF Studios, this film features a cast including Olof Sandborg and Barbro Kollberg.

The story unfolds as Lord Chamberlain Colonel Baron Roger Bernhusen de Sars approaches his 70th birthday. In a twist of fate, he chooses this occasion to write and publish his will, which leads to various comedic situations involving family dynamics and a manservant.

With a blend of humor and familial relationships, His Grace's Will explores themes of legacy and the unexpected outcomes of a last will and testament. The film's focus on a father-daughter relationship adds depth to the narrative, making it a unique entry in the comedy genre of the era.

This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles, with limited formats available over the years; I’ve only seen it released on VHS and a few DVD compilations. Its scarcity adds a layer of intrigue for those interested in British comedies from this period. The overall interest tends to hinge on its unique narrative style and the fascinating portrayal of its characters, making it a noteworthy piece for anyone diving into the genre's history.
