Sankt Hans fest (St. John's Festival[1][2] or Saint Hans' Celebration[3]) is a Norwegian film directed by Toralf Sandø. It premiered on April 7, 1947.[3][4] It is based on the 1887 novel Sankt Hans Fest by Alexander Kielland.[4]
The film follows the plot of the novel.[5] The dour priest Kruse is played by Tore Foss, who opposes the business establishment's town party, which is planned by Johannes Eckhoff as Garman, Jon Lennart Mjøen as Randulf, Claus Wiese as Holck, Erling Drangsholt as the bank manager, and Sigurd Magnussøn as the county governor. Pressure is placed on both sides by Else Heiberg, who is Randulf's wife.
