The Outlaw and His Wife (Swedish: Berg-Ejvind och hans hustru) is a 1918 Swedish silent film directed by Victor Sjöström, based on a play from 1911 by Jóhann Sigurjónsson.[1] It tells the story of Eyvind of the Hills, an 18th-century Icelandic outlaw.
The film was groundbreaking for its portrayal of wild nature.[citation needed] It was shot in two sessions in the spring and late summer 1917, with Åre and Abisko in northern Sweden acting as the highlands of Iceland.[2]
