His Excellency (Swedish: Excellensen) is a 1944 Swedish drama film directed by Hasse Ekman and starring Lars Hanson, Gunnar Sjöberg and Elsie Albiin. It was made at the RÃÂ¥sunda Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arne àkermark. It is based on a 1942 play of the same title by Bertil Malmberg. It was part of a growing number of Swedish films more overtly critical of German war policy, and the only one of them to openly identify the occupiers as Germans and set it in a real country.
A celebrated Austrian poet strongly opposes Nazism, meanwhile his daughter falls in love with a leading Nazi who becomes commander over the concentration camp where his Excellency later is imprisoned.
