Kanske en gentleman (1935 film)

Kanske en gentleman (Perhaps a Gentleman) is a Swedish drama film from 1935 directed by Ragnar Arvedson and Tancred Ibsen. The film script was written by Theodor Berthels, Berndt Carlberg (pseudonym Berco), and Ulla Kåge. It was base on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion.

The play also served as the basis for Anthony Asquith's and Leslie Howard's British film Pygmalion in 1938 and the musical My Fair Lady, which was filmed in the United States by George Cukor in 1964. The two Swedish films Kanske en gentleman (1950) and Fly mej en greve (1959) are also based on the play.

The film had its Swedish premiere on August 24, 1935 at the Astoria cinema in Stockholm.
