Flaadens blaa matroser

A marine musical comedy from Denmark. The radio operator, Hjalmar Olsen, lives in Nyboder. He handles all the problems for the Nyboder friends when they are in trouble - on land or at sea, from the sister's heartache with the less real rich man's son, the stoker's daughter's problems with an intrusive man, to a mutiny that breaks out on a foreign ship. Hjalmar is a man of action, who always acts quickly - and cheerfully - well supported by the gallery of brave boys and sailors.

Directed by Jon Iversen, Flaadens blaa matroser leans on a strong ensemble — Carl Fischer, Ellen Margrethe Stein, Ellen Jansø — 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 1937.
