Den fjerde Dame

Eduard Schnedler-Sørensen, 1914

MOST WANTED | Based on the preserved information, the film might be a forgotten queer gem: a comedy in the vein of Tootsie featuring Arne Weel in women’s clothes.


WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
For his regiment’s 50th anniversary, Colonel Meyerink’s plans include an equestrian quadrille performed by teams of ladies and gentlemen. When he needs a fourth lady to make up the women’s team, Lieutenant Wolff is quick to promise that his sister, Leoni, will take part – without, however, having asked her first.

Bukseskørtet

Ubekendt, 1911

A radical fashion trend makes women swoon and men scoff. Can you imagine – trousers for women? Unfortunately for two ladies, the moralising society will soon teach them a lesson about dressing modestly.

The film has Danish intertitles.

De tossede Kvindfolk

Lau Lauritzen Sr., 1917

Business partners Storch and Søndergaard are in for a very confusing day. The birthday child Storch reminds Søndergaard that it is his wedding day, which prompts Søndergaard to immediately send flowers home to his wife. In response, Mrs Søndergaard sends a lunch invitation to her husband as well as a birthday card to Storch.

Hallo! Afrika forude!

Lau Lauritzen Sr., 1929

Spirits are always high at the quayside pub The Red Rabbit. One day, adventurers Pat and Patachon come by to look for work. Their luck is in! A police raid sends all the staff to prison.

Det berygtede Hus

Urban Gad, 1912

A young woman, Nina, works as a singer at a Copenhagen variety theatre, but when her contract expires she suddenly finds herself with no income to support her and her old mother.
