Poor Little Sven (Swedish: Stackars lilla Sven) is a 1947 Swedish comedy film directed by Hugo Bolander and starring Nils Poppe, Annalisa Ericson and Hjördis Petterson.[1] The film's sets were designed by the art director Arne Åkermark. It was inspired by the plot of the 1928 British musical Mr. Cinders, which Poppe and Ericson had appeared together in on stage.
Sven, an orphan, is taken care of by the generous Anton Carlsson. However, when Carlson marries a baroness he becomes the stepfather of her two mean-spirited sons who make Sven's life increasingly difficult. Due to a mistake the daughter of a wealthy man is mistaken for a housemaid and she and Sven fall in love.
