Throughout the 1970s, Sejr Volmer Sørensen enjoyed great success with the revues he staged every summer in Nykøbing Falster until 1978. It was in these performances that comedian Kai Løvring truly rose to fame. An edited version of the 1973 summer revue.

Oh, to Be on the Bandwagon! poster
6.4

This is a film about the stuff dreams are made of, yet, there is nothing elevated in this concept, on the contrary. The characters around the bar Strudsen (the ostrich) are doing what ostriches do, hiding themselves from the threats of life and keeping their dreams to themselves. Scriptwriter Benny Andersen being a poet is rendering a loving portrait of a number of persons, who fail to try to make their dreams come true, possibly not being sufficiently dissatisfied with their life after all. The manager would like a bar of his own but dare not admit to it, the butcher would like to be an opera singer, the window cleaner (sorry, window polisher) is secretly in love with the bar lady, but dare not show it and the pianist willingly listens to all the different dreams being presented to him. This film was the best accomplished movie from Henning Carlsen since his debut with 'Sult'.

Did Somebody Laugh? poster
8.7

The late 1930s. A young enemployed, unskilled worker walks through the streets of Copenhagen, sustaining himself partly on the dole and free soup-kitchen meals and partly on day-dreams. He spends time at a cemetry studying headstone inscriptions. Mild-mannered and of poetic bent, he understands little of an intellectual friend's advice and shies away from the love of a woman who shares her bed with him.

Kick Me in the Traditions! poster
6.5

Based on Leif Panduro's 1958 satire classic. David, a senior high-school student, aims a swift kick at his principal's behind and is committed to a psychiatric ward from the perspective of which he takes a close look at his allegedly sane family. They, of course, are the real loonies. The psychiatrists are worse. Only lovely class-mate Lis is down-to-earth and trustworthy.

Mirror, Mirror poster
8.5

Heavily influenced by the French stage sensation La Cage Aux Folles (which was filmed the very same year) a drag-queen comedy about a group of homosexuals sharing an apartment with a naive but straight country boy did not live up to expectations. The lead characters lead boring lives during the day and, as depicted here, downright pathetic existences at night, all decked out in peacock plumes and high heels and with nowhere to go.

Poul Henriksen is a bank teller, a man in his prime with a hobby of studying Napoleon. He is happily married to the lovely Mrs. Gerda, a devoted mother to their three children. She has long since learned that men always remain big boys, and she is therefore also a mother to her husband. Their son William is "something" in an office, which bores him terribly. Instead, he has thrown himself into jazz with fanatical zeal and dreams of becoming the greatest jazz musician of all time. William also has a girlfriend, Nina, who is enthusiastic about jazz and visits him at all hours of the day and night, which greatly concerns his parents. A conflict forces Poul to kick his son out of the house. This makes the parents unhappy, and on top of that, they have come to believe that William should have a child with Nina.
