Poor Little Sven
Synopsis
Poppe plays Sven, an orphan who is being taken care of by the kind Mr. Carlsson. However, when Carlsson remarries a baroness, life becomes hard for Sven. The baroness and her two sons do all they can to make it so. The daughter (Anna-Lisa Ericsson) of their even richer neighbour is mistaken for the new house-maid and she helps Sven get ready for the ball that her father is having, while she and Sven secretly fall in love with each other.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
