About Løgn og løvebrøl
An unsuccessful animal impersonator wants publicity and feeds an overly eager journalist a story. The impersonator says he is going to Africa to roar like a lion, and people believe him. The front-page sensation spreads to the foreign press, and in the end, the poor liar has to take out his savings and travel to Africa to prove that the lie was true enough.
Directed by Peer Guldbrandsen, Løgn og løvebrøl leans on a strong ensemble — Kjeld Petersen, Lily Broberg, Hanne Borchsenius — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1961.
