This is a Danish film version of "The White Horse Inn", filmed on
location in Austria. It is presented here as a musical, rather than
as an operetta, which makes it suitable for a wider audience. Dirch
Passer (as Leopold) is at his best here, and the other actors are
well fitted to their roles, especially Ove Sprogøe as Leopold's rival,
Sigismund. There is none of the vulgarity that can be found in
some of Passer's later films, only light-hearted humour and
romance. Oh, and the landscape is breathtaking.
