About Komtessen på Steenholt
After staying 3 years in America the Countess Ellie Stenholt (Marguerite Viby) returns home to Denmark and the family estate Stenholt. She finds that everything isn't going well noticing that the estate is falling apart and money is short.
Directed by Emanuel Gregers, Komtessen på Steenholt leans on a strong ensemble — Marguerite Viby, Katy Valentin, Agnes Rehni — 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 comedy titles of 1939.
