The English title is "Blushing Charlie". The leftist theme aside, this is a very amusing and warm-hearted film that was lauded by critics, both nationally and internationally. It was granted the Interfilm Awards 1970. Lundquist received the Chaplin prize for his acting. The film received a nomination at Berlin's film festival. It gives an insight into the politicized mentality of the era, which was naive. Yet, it is predominantly about human relations. I love it.

I had wished that there were more films of this intimate character; a day in the life of the moderately intelligent citizen. One grows weary of grand themes and heroic characters.
