The Österman Brothers' Virago (Swedish: Bröderna Östermans huskors) is a 1945 Swedish comedy film directed by Ivar Johansson and starring Emy Hagman, Adolf Jahr and Artur Rolén.
It was based on the 1913 play of the same title by Oscar Wennersten, which has been adapted for film several times.
The three lazy Österman brothers own a farm, and decide that they need help with the housework.
When the maid Anna arrives she proves to be efficient and domineering and soon takes over the running of the place.
This leads the brothers to consider her a Battle-axe and virago and plot about ways to get her to leave.
