Highest Rated: 88% Torment (1944)

Lowest Rated: 88% Torment (1944)

Birthday: Jun 21, 1903

Birthplace: Stockholm, Sweden

Stage actor and director who made an impressive silent film debut in 1929 with "The Strongest," a wrenching, documentary-like portrayal of seal hunters. Sjoberg became disillusioned with the film medium after the advent of sound and returned to working in the theatre until the 1940s, when he helped revive the Swedish cinema with such fine films as the pacifist "They Staked Their Lives" (1940), the haunting allegorical fantasy "The Road to Heaven" (1942) and the powerful Ingmar Bergman-scripted "Torment" (1944), starring Alf Kjellin and future director Mai Zetterling. Sjoberg reteamed the romantic leads from the latter film for the poignant love story, "Iris and the Lieutenant" (1946).
