About Discretion Wanted
In order to supplement the family income, Marius Bastrup rents his unused rooms to young women looking for a "discreet stay." The drama in the film revolves around the young women and their circumstances, especially as it relates to one girl's abortion.
Directed by Ole Palsbo, Discretion Wanted leans on a strong ensemble — Ib Schønberg, Betty Helsengreen, Lise Thomsen — 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 drama titles of 1946.
