Sommer i Tyrol

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.
