Filmens Helte

Lau Lauritzen Sr., 1928

By coincidence, Pat and Patachon are cast for the lead roles in a major film production. It quickly turns out that the odd couple doesn't fit in to just any plot, and especially Patachon's helpless attempts to play prince charming are testing the director's patience.

Blandt københavnske Apacher

Ernst Munkeboe, 1911

FRAGMENT | When it’s discovered that Fanny, a poor cigar worker, is frequenting the quarters of the manufacturer’s rich son, she’s banished from both home and work. All hope seems to be lost for Fanny, but her luck turns when she’s hired as a cigar roller at a cigar shop – or that’s what she thinks. It quickly transpires that the “cigar shop” is merely a cover for shadier affairs.

Frederik Buch som Soldat

Christian Schrøder, 1913

The usually cheerful Fred has been called up for military service, and he is less than enthusiastic about the prospect, however honourable the assignment may be. But Fred has a plan: he will prove to the entire regiment that he is unworthy of the task – and wriggle his way out of service that way.

No English subtitles available.

Frederik Buch som Dekoratør

Sofus Wolder, 1913

A cheerful, lively decorator is given the task of upholstering a chair in a wealthy household. However, his working methods prove somewhat unorthodox, and before long the splendid home needs an entire flock of craftsmen.

Frelst fra Forbrydelsens Vej

Ubekendt, 1913

FRAGMENT | Margrethe is in love with Worm, who only sees her as a fleeting youthful infatuation. When he suddenly leaves, he abandons both Margrethe and their unborn son. Fate leads them down vastly different paths, and their son Hans grows up and is forced to become a criminal.

Manicuredamen med det store Hjærte

Ubekendt, 1911

The aristocratic Krag refuses to let his daughter marry the bourgeois Carl Vedel, even though the whole family begs him to permit the match. Fortunately, several opportunities for persuading the stubborn patriarch suddenly appear. For example, it turns out that he regularly visits the manicurist Stella in town, and he will have to account for that.

Arvingen til Skjoldborg

Alfred Cohn, 1914

Count Adam sends his son Jørgen abroad to thwart his relationship with Grete, a common miller’s daughter. On the trip, Jørgen is captivated by the exotic Baroness Tarnowa. When news reaches him that Grete has had a stillborn child, he considers his commitment over and proposes to the baroness.

København ved Nat

Carl Alstrup, 1910

Four good friends are so engrossed with their card game that they are late to pick up their wives at the theatre. So why not continue where they left off? The four gentlemen embark on a wild trip through the Copenhagen night life, a cornucopia of hot chicks, strong drinks and daring dances.

Prins for en Dag

Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen, 1913

In the small kingdom of Snobbéria, a rollicking tale of mistaken identity unfolds. A busy journalist called Herbert Prince sets out for a much-needed holiday, and while on the train he is mistaken for Prince Karl Heinrich of Snobbéria. Deciding to have a little fun, Prince stays in character as a royal.

Hr. Tell og Søn

Lau Lauritzen Sr., 1930

In this story, Pat and Patachon have decided to pursue a career as variety stars. Inspired by Patachon’s great role model, William Tell, they try to curry favour with an act called ‘William Tell and son’. They are taken on board at the Open Air Variety Show, where they meet two young girls who quickly become their good friends and training partners.
