Lau Lauritzen

Died in 1938

Lauritz Lauritzen was born in Silkeborg in 1878. An actor, he appeared from 1911 in Nordisk films, then moved into directing and screenwriting. At Palladium, in 1921, he brought together Carl Schenstrøm, tall and thin, and Harald Madsen, short and round: the duo, whose name changed from country to country, became the first comic double act known throughout the world and the great export product of Danish cinema in the twenties. His son, Lau Lauritzen junior, in turn became a filmmaker. He died in 1938.
