Lagerlöf had for many years denied any proposal to let her novels be adapted for film, but after seeing Sjöström's" Terje Vigen" she finally decided to give her consent. It was originally released in the US as" The Girl from the March Croft" and the UK as" The Woman He Chose". However it is today generally referred to as" The Lass from the Stormy Croft", which is closer to the original Swedish title. The Lass from the Stormy Croft is a 1917 Swedish drama film directed by Victor Sjöström, based on the 1908 novella with the same title by Selma Lagerlöf. Six other adaptions of the same novel have been made, a German and a Turkish in 1935, a Finnish in 1940, another Swedish in 1947, a Danish(" Husmandstøsen") in 1952 and another German in 1958.
