The film was originally released as two parts in Sweden: "Gösta Berlings saga I" on 10 March 1924 and "Gösta Berlings saga II" seven days later. The two-part version was also used in Finland and Norway, but for the rest of the world a shorter, one-part export version was made.
As of 2010, about 450 meters of film from the original cut are still missing.
The film has attracted a big audience. This sumptuous production of Selma Lagerlöf's novel launched a new Swedish screen star, Mauritz Stiller's 18-year-old protégé, Greta Garbo.
