Wikipedia article
'Prsten i Vejlby' ('The Vicar of Vejlby') is a 1931 Danish film about a murder in a vicarage directed by George Schnevoigt and based on a novel by Steen Steensen Blicher. Starring Henrik Malberg and Karin Nellemose it marked the debut of actor Aage Winther-Jrgensen. The film was a remake of the 1920 version by August Blom; and was remade again in 1972 by Claus rsted.
One year earlier, George Schnevoigt had made the first Danish sound film of feature length; however, the dialogue was spoken in Norwegian. 'Prsten i Vejlby' was the first feature-length sound film with Danish dialogue. Although the public had seen short Danish "talkies" since 1923, and experienced foreign features with sound for two years, the Danish language film was unique enough to create a huge success and make the film very profitable.
