Stronger Than the Law (Swedish: Starkare än lagen) is a 1951 Swedish historical drama film directed by Bengt Logardt and Arnold Sjöstrand and starring Margareta Fahlén, Bengt Logardt and Margit Carlqvist.[1] It was shot at the Centrumateljéerna Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director P.A. Lundgren.
The film is set in the 1870s in a remote community in the mountains of Northern Sweden. A strange man from the south arrives, and interacts with the strait-laced Anna and the bubbly Mimmi who openly flouts convention. Eventually it turns out that he has killed a man and is on the run.
