Janssons frestelse

SYNOPSIS

In the 1928 silent film version, Baron von Werner and Gunnar Jansson are in a dispute over property rights. Inga, the baron's daughter, arrives home from France and is soon interested in Jansson, her father's archival, and tempers flare. Based on the play by Sigurd Wallén. In contrast, the 1936 version has Sigurd Wallén not in a role as a director, but cast as John Jansson, a long-time employee of a banking company and family man. When the company ends up in liquidity crisis - due to careless handling and speculation with the company's finances by Jansson's unscrupulous boss, director Holger Linder - the bank wants Jansson to take over the management of the company, and the situation further becomes more complicated.
