Gøngehøvdingen (1961) User Reviews

Charming Story from when Denmark was under Attack

[LNAndersen · 8/10 · 11 May 2020]

The Swedes are attacking Denmark in 1658 and the Dane Svend Poulsen (Gøngehøvdingen) wants to help his country and his king, King Frederik 3. Great casting, wonderful humor and beautiful milieu make this, I think, one of the best Danish films of all time. Much better than the series from 1992. The sequel "Dronningens Vagtmester" (1963) is also if not quite as good.
