Johan Ulfstjerna is a 1936 Swedish drama film directed as well as co-written by Gustaf Edgren and starring Gösta Ekman, Björn Berglund and Birgit Tengroth. It is based on the 1907 Tor Hedberg play Johan Ulfstjerna, which had previously been made into a 1923 silent film of the same title.[1] It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arne Åkermark.
The film takes place in Helsinki at the turn of the twentieth century when an underground resistance movement attempts to liberate Finland from the Russian Empire.
