Trivia

The name of the brewery in this film is Elsinore Brewery. Max von Sydow, who played the Brewmeister in this movie, was also in the film The Seventh Seal. In that film he and his squire were heading towards the village of Elsinore, but decided not to because the plague was there. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: At the end of the court room scene, the picture behind the judge, which was obviously supposed to fall off the wall as he bangs his gavel, falls a couple of seconds too early. See more »
