About The Outlaw and His Wife
A stranger comes to work at widow Halla's farm. Halla and the stranger fall in love, but when he is revealed as Eyvind, an escaped thief forced into crime by his family's starvation, they flee and become two of the many outlaws of Iceland's mountains.
Directed by Victor Sjöström, The Outlaw and His Wife leans on a strong ensemble — Victor Sjöström, Edith Erastoff, John Ekman — 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 drama titles of 1918.
