Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Mestertyven (svensk: Mästertjuven) er en svensk stumfilm fra 1915 i regi av Mauritz Stiller. Norske Stein Riverton og danske Martin Jørgensen var ansvarlige for manuset. Filmen ble spilt inn i Svenska Biografteaterns studio på Lidingö med utendørsscener fra Hotellet og jernbanestasjonen i Saltsjöbaden samt ulike villaer på Lidingö. Den hadde i en nøkkelscene en skyggeeffekt, reprodusert på et stillbilde, som må anses som på sin tid meget avansert ut fra et bildefortellersynspunkt. Filmen er antatt tapt.
