Don Olsen kommer til byen

1964 Family Comedy
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

Bank director L.W. Jacobsen resides in a small provincial town. He is not particularly interested in his wife, Elsebeth, but rather in teacher and city council member Miss Mortensen. Thorsen, the town's manufacturer, is a member of the same city council group as Jacobsen. Then Don Olsen comes to town. Olsen is not interested in the upper class, but rather in people. By chance, Thorsen and Olsen meet and soon become drinking buddies. Thorsen drags the milkman's horse home to his apartment in the middle of the night. The scandal is a reality. Thorsen wants to flee, but with Olsen's help, he instead woos the townspeople and Miss Mortensen under the motto "Make good times better."

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a comedy on the clash between provincial rigidity and chaotic new energy. He works with recognizable archetypes, exploring how a single absurd incident can shake up an entire social microcosm.

What lingers after the viewing is a gentle, good-natured satire of small-town bourgeois manners, where absurdity becomes a tool for liberation. A charming and warm-hearted farce. — MovieFinder Editorial
