About The Egborg Girl
If your name is Kaj Jensen and you live on Frederiksborggade, there is a certain likelihood that you will be confused with Kaj Jensen on Fredriksberggade. But when botanist John Søgård from Mariendalsvej is mistaken for whaler John Søgård from the South Pole, who is home on vacation, it's not so smart. And disaster strikes! But in this case, it suddenly turns into a stroke of luck...
Directed by Carl Ottosen, The Egborg Girl leans on a strong ensemble — Dirch Passer, Willy Rathnov, Karl Stegger — 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 1969.
