One Lover Too Many

Baron Preben is an unfortunate man – at least when it comes to the ladies. He has long waited for an opportunity to declare his true feelings for his good friend Ida. So when a romantic rival shows up during Midsummer celebrations, Preben has to propose sooner than he would like. One thing’s for sure – before the end of Midsummer, Preben and Ida will be engaged, but not to whom they expect. (Stumfilm.dk)

Directed by Johannes Meyer, One Lover Too Many leans on a strong ensemble — Holger Pedersen, Karen Winther, Aage Fønss — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1924.
