Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nyhavn was still a working-class port area in 1967 — this film captures it right before tourist gentrification transformed it into today's postcard fantasy.
Dirch Passer was Denmark's biggest comedy star; this was one of his rare leading roles where he wasn't the butt of every joke.
