Ingeborg Holm (Margaret Day) is a 1913 Swedish social drama film directed by Victor Sjöström, based on a 1906 play by Nils Krok. It is noted as the first true narrative film; its remarkable narrative continuity would characterize the style now known as classical Hollywood, which dominated the global film industry for the majority of the century. It caused great debate in Sweden about social security, which led to changes in the poorhouse laws. It is said to be based on a true story.
