About The Modern Girl
Upon suddenly losing his fortune, the young Count Berner sets out for New York to try his luck there. With his winning nature and great drive, he quickly advances from being a stevedore to becoming a chauffeur for a well-known millionaire. But when he embarks on a relationship with the millionaire’s daughter Anny, he gets into trouble: another suitor of hers gets jealous and will stop at nothing to get Berner out of the way.(Stumfilm.dk)
Directed by Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen, The Modern Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Valdemar Psilander, Clara Pontoppidan, Viking Ringheim — 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 1912.
