About The Moelleby affair
Mølleby is a small, cozy market town. The year is 1924, and the sight of a Rolls Royce from Copenhagen is a sensation. But all is not as idyllic as it seems. The town's new mayor is trying to build a new brickworks to ensure the town's growth and future, but the previous mayor is doing everything he can to thwart these ambitious plans...
Directed by Tom Hedegaard, The Moelleby affair leans on a strong ensemble — Poul Reichhardt, Ove Sprogøe, Lily Broberg — 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 family titles of 1976.
