Himmeluret
Himmeluret (The Clock of Heaven[1] or The Celestial Clockwork[2]) is a Norwegian silent film from 1925 directed by Amund Rydland and Leif Sinding.[2][3] Sinding also wrote the screenplay, which is based on Gabriel Scott's comedy Himmeluret (play 1905, novella 1908).[4] David Knudsen, Gunvor Fjørtoft, and Hjalmar Fries appeared in the main roles. Footage described as a "closeup of a naked woman" (naken kvinne forstørret) was cut from the film by censors. The film is now considered lost.
