Charles XII's Courier (Swedish: Carl XII:s kurir) is a 1924 Swedish silent historical adventure film directed by Rudolf Anthoni and starring Gösta Ekman, Renée Björling and Nils Asther.[1] It was shot at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Vilhelm Bryde. It is now considered to be a lost film. It should not be confused with the 1925 film Charles XII in which Ekman also starred, appearing in the title role.
