Den forsvundne pølsemaker
Toralf Sandø · 1941
Synopsis
The pork butcher H. Brand has disappeared, leaving behind his wife and his daughter Solveig. Two private detectives, Stein Rask and Simon Gløgg, are tasked with finding out what has happened to him. The investigation, full of complications and false leads, takes them well beyond the shop, among a gallery of comic characters, and ends up, according to the Norwegian synopsis on TheTVDB, putting them on the trail of a gang of criminals.
Context
The film was released on 26 December 1941, under the occupation, from a screenplay by Sandø himself. Leif Juster plays Rask and Ernst Diesen plays Gløgg; it is remembered above all for the song “Pølsemaker, pølsemaker”, sung by Juster. It was released in Denmark on 9 July 1943. Its running time varies according to the sources, from eighty-five to ninety-eight minutes.
Who it is for
A black-and-white crime farce, in Norwegian, to be seen for its pair of actors and its song more than for the mystery.
Prizes and reception
A wartime comedy whose song, performed by Leif Juster, has outlived the film itself.
