action
It was supposed to be a hunting trip. They wanted to shoot hares up in Jutland on the small island of Hu: Edward, the art historian, NY, the lawyer at the Imperial Court, and the merchant Joachim. And when the three gentlemen from Copenhagen clash with the simple fishermen from Hu, with Monni, Niels, Marinus and “small kitchen stove”, a lot of “bucks” are indeed shot, but the hunt no longer takes place. Instead, Edward, kept somewhat short at home, strengthens his erotic feeling with the friendly help of the buxom waitress Anna; The Reichsgerichtsanwalt almost shakes the community of the island with his national rhetoric, and Joachim, the merchant who is blessed with an all-too-mature daughter, refines a conversation in the detention cell with the clerical lord of the island, Pastor Deje. When the wives of the three city dwellers, driven by domestic worries, appear on the island, they find the heads of their families walking piously and inspired to new deeds.
Reviews
The lexicon of international film draws the following conclusion in its online edition (Two Thousand and One): "A comedy with deliberately slippery 'vulgar humor' in the style of the successful Danish film 'Das rosende Paradies', filmed with technical skill based on a tabloid novel."
The Protestant film observer thinks less of the film : “A Danish film that has been declared a 'juicy comedy' as the successor to 'Baronesse' and 'Das rosende Paradies'. Suggestive description of a 'hunting trip' by three city dwellers to an island in Jutland. Reservations not because of the lavishly displayed permissiveness of female charms, but because of the dime-novel level of the strip. "
