The inside of the church has the boards with the numbers of the songs that will be sung during the service. These numbers are taken from the official book of church songs introduced in the early 1950s. That is, in the 1920s to 1940s these numbers should have been different to be in accordance with the songs actually sung. See more »Alternate Versions
The original version ran for 24 episodes, each episode being between some 50 and 90 minutes.

If you have even the slightest interest of Denmark and Danish culture from the late 1930'ies to the early 1950'ies, this is a *MUST SEE*.
Apart from being a brilliant saga of life and death of the citizens of a small city, it's also filled with all those tiny details that makes it seeworthy. Acting and direction are outstanding.
