'Peter van Heeren' is a Norwegian crime film from 1957. It is based on Alf Bonnevie Bryn's debut crime novel, 'Peter van Heeren tar skeen i den anden haand' (Peter van Heeren Holds His Spoon in His Other Hand). The novel was adapted for film by Sigval Maartmann-Moe, who also directed the film.
Plot
The film is about the rich, eccentric, and amiable idler Peter van Heeren (played by Per Skift) and his many companies. He is persuaded to help his friend, Mrs. Kathie Winter (Liv Wilse), who is exposed to a certain appellate court attorney Halmer, who tries to win her favor though blackmail and other unorthodox methods. Peter van Heeren receives help from his inimitable butler Jeremias (Ernst Diesen).
