Moster fra Mols (1943)

This film really got into trouble during World War II, and at one point it looked as if the entire process had been lost on the floor. The film was shot in 1941, but it was only in 1943 that they managed to get raw film for cinema copies. The film was produced by John Olsen at ASA-Studio in Lyngby, but since he had built up SAGA-Studio in the meantime, the film moved with it. The story is built around the "Charles' Aunt" theme and is wonderfully festive. In a large villa in Ordrup live manufacturer Nelsøe, his wife and their young daughter, Else. Else has been let down by her sweetheart, so Else is in crisis. Then mother and father employ a young girl of the same age in the house "with a family position" to put Else in a better mood. The girl who moves in is Grethe Holst, priest's daughter from Mols. Else and Grethe quickly become good friends, but suddenly it turns out that Grethe has some very fresh friends... After a trip on the Traverbanen, the police are on their heels. Moster Fra Mols was launched as a "Summer Farce", and it was a good idea when it premiered in bitterly cold February 1943.
