Lån mig din kone

Sales manager Lund sees an opportunity to become deputy director at the baby equipment company where he works. Unfortunately, he has neither a wife nor a baby. These are qualifications that both his boss and a rival colleague consider essential. Lund therefore pretends that he has been married for a long time. However, this little white lie has unforeseeable consequences when his boss invites Lund and his wife to dinner. Lund has to find a wife to borrow, and the complications unfold at a furious pace.

Directed by Preben Neergaard, Lån mig din kone leans on a strong ensemble — Gunnar Lauring, Anne Werner Thomsen, Preben Mahrt — 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 1957.
