This is the fourth in a series of films based on the police detective novels of Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo. In this story, the police only have one witness to a series of crimes which have electrified the country, the rape and murder of a number of beautiful young women. Unfortunately, the witness is not terribly willing to come forward to assist the police since he is wanted in conjuction with the violent robberies he has committed. The police are assisted in their investigations by a beautiful psychologist (Magdalena Ritter), who helps them get a bead on both perpetrators. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

House of Angels is a comedy about prejudice in a small Swedish town. The owner of the farm Änglagård is killed in an automobile accident, and the community is surprised and outraged when his granddaughter turns up at the funeral to claim the farm. Fanny (Helena Bergström) is a leather-jacketed cabaret performer from Berlin, and she lives with her gay biker buddy, Zac (Rikard Wolff). Many members of the community are horrified and make no bones about it. Appearances aren't everything, however. Fanny and Zac are far from the drugged-out weirdos they seem to be, and slowly but surely, the community accepts them. Expat British director Colin Nutley manages to forge strong, well-developed characters from these stereotypical origins. ~ John Voorhees, All Movie Guide

Inger (Helena Bergström), a single mother, has decided to return to her father's home from her life in Stockholm and sort out her life. Unfortunately, her father has grown restless, too, and is planning to sell the family house and move away, so she cannot stay long. To pass the time, she hangs out at the local dance hall. There, she dangles one man on a leash while she courts the drummer in the dance-hall band (Carl Kjellgren). She thinks that theirs is a romance beyond all others. He thinks of it merely as a pleasant affair. Eventually, she figures that out and moves back to Stockholm, and regrets stringing the second, nicer, man along. There was something epochal in the meeting of these two people however, and the band members recognize that something important has changed. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

Cederkvist (Magnus Haerenstram) starts strutting around an all-women textile mill soon after he arrives as the regional "efficiency expert" determined to whip the plant into clock-work order and bed down whomever he can. (The time is WW II and all the men are apparently away fighting.) Naturally, neither his job nor his crass display of male foibles endears him to any of the young women at the plant - they loudly ignore him. Meanwhile, a crafty porter at a local hotel (Allan Edwall) has concocted a scheme to drum up some business - and his own take as a consequence. He loans Cederkvist a wood-burning 1931 Ford (a surprise to anyone not privy to car history), provides him a hotel room equipped with wine and music - and these three attributes are enough to overcome any bad impressions he created with the women at the plant. For reasons that are taken from some realm unknown to humankind, the attractive, well-endowed young woman jump enthusiastically into bed with this moron, after all, he has the right car (any car, in this case), a bottle of wine, and the latest top 10 releases. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
