Goofs
When Catrine walks from the cottage to peel some potatoes, we expect to see her with a single shadow. Sadly, studio lights give her several shadows. A minute later, Roddie has shadows cast at 90 degrees to Catrine's.

Insight to an Era with Good Photography

For its year, the movie was fairly typical. While the acting in some scenes was reminiscent of silent film or stage (with exaggerated or stilted portrayals), overall it was good and more than acceptable. The photography was generally good, capturing life as it no doubt was, and the atmosphere also. I was not expecting a 1950's or later film, so there was no disappointment. Also, I felt I had learned something of life in those days way up in the north.
