action

Konrad Konradsen, generally an honorable diplomat, has fallen into a trap. A blackmailer demands that he marry his daughter; otherwise he would make incriminating material available to Konradsen to the public, which would result in his ruin. Only severe abdominal pain saved Konradsen from saying yes and took him to the hospital, where he met a couple of fine friends : the fashion designer André, the cash manager of the local savings bank (where the extortionate father deposited his compromising material), district court director Winter and last but not least the crook Arne Jensen, in his circles only called the handsome Arne or Dynamit-Jensen . Because they are bored, they chat from school. The otherwise closed diplomat is no exception. After complaining to his new friends of his suffering, they agree that the bad luck must be helped and that the blackmailer must be stopped.

Thanks to the brilliant combination talent of the clever judge and the professional ambition of the professional crook, the troop finally succeeds in putting the simulation game they designed into action despite some incidents, which is the focus of the film.

criticism

"Danish comedy, a predominantly pretty joke."

"Undemanding entertainment for those with a smile on their face with unnecessary lengths."

Award

Morten Grunwald was awarded the Danish Bodil Film Prize in 1965 for his role as Arne Herluf-Jensen .
