About Kriminalassistent Bloch
In the small town of Fjordnæs, former accountant Carl Frank lives with his family. He is a sick and broken man who has just finished a prison sentence for fraud. His financial affairs are in an extremely sad state, and he has no chance of getting a job. Frank decides to commit suicide and leaves the house with his revolver. Detective Bloch is called in from Copenhagen when Frank's revolver is found with a young horticultural worker.
Directed by Poul Bang, Grete Frische, Kriminalassistent Bloch leans on a strong ensemble — Axel Frische, Elith Pio, Ellen Margrethe Stein — 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 1943.
