ADDITION: Kino Lorber / Code Red Blu-ray (August 2022): Kino have transferred Dan Wolman's Maid in Sweden to Blu-ray. It has damage and marks identifying it's marginal production values and poorly stored sources. The 1080P does appear a significant upgrade over DVD screen captures that I researched. It can be inconsistent which I would gather is more a product of the original production - there is grain and it can look like it needs a good cleaning but certain sequences are quite sharp. I found a couple of instances of the damage (see below.) It's watchable and the grindhouse-like visuals could be considered nostalgic. It will probably never look any superior than this on digital.

On their Blu-ray, Kino use a DTS-HD Master dual-mono track (24-bit) in the original English language. Maid in Sweden has no aggressive effects although a scream or two - but Maid in Sweden has six musical pieces sung by John Tippet, Anthony Bird, Paul Burchill, Paul Anstey and Paul Hamblin although the opening credits cite all songs written and produced by Charles Nash and music composed and conducted by Bob Nash. It, predictably, sounds dated, repetitive, a bit annoying and a definite product of its time. Quality is about as middling as the video. While shot in Stockholm with a Swedish cast - it IS in English with no overly obvious DUBs that I could ascertain. It was Christina Lindberg's first English-language role. Kino offer optional English (SDH) subtitles - but no without an error or two - on their Region 'A'-locked Blu-ray.

The Kino Lorber / Code Red Blu-ray offers only a trailer for the film and a few others like Dagmar's Hot Pants Inc.

Dan Wolman's Maid in Sweden is from The Canon Group, Inc. It's real problem is the cavalier attitude in which the sexual assaults are addressed. Inga's introduction to intimacy beyond her gangbang and lesbian fantasizes - amounts to aggression from both males which shouldn't be considered anything less than r*pe, imo. I can't see Maid in Sweden being much more than having appeal as a historical artifact for Christina Lindberg fans - as it's the first film in which she showed nudity - notably her voluminous breasts. Personally, I preferred pretty Monica Ekman in the role of her sexually-advanced older sister. There is a minor travelogue in Stockholm snuck in there. There is no real examination of social issues like class structure in Swedish society ala I Am Curious (Yellow.) Anyway, it does have nudity (no male parts) and plenty of early 70's sex. The Kino Lorber / Code Red Blu-ray is bare-bones although a notable upgrade from SD. Those curious on Lindberg might consider owning. Post her film career she produced an instructional video on how to pick and prepare mushrooms entitled Christinas Svampskola, and works enthusiastically about the preservation of the Swedish wolf.
