      Near the end of the movie (after about 20 min), a rich man gives Karl-Bertil a band with national flags. In the next scene, the band is attached to a driving car. Blowing in the wind, one of the flags is a German Nazi flag with swastika.
    • Quotes

      Berättare: In the middle of the movie, the phone was ringing.

      Hans omma moder: Hello, Aunt Märta! Merry Christmas! What? Hand painted china plate? No, we haven't got any hand painted... What? Floral motif? Potted carnations? No... I'm sorry, Aunt Marta, but we haven't... Yes, do that, Aunt Marta! Merry Christmas...

      [Aunt Marta hangs up the phone]

      Hans ömma moder: [to Karl-Bertil's father] Tyko! Aunt Marta has sent us a hand painted china plate!

      Hans strange fader: Thank God that it wasn't delivered to us! Quiet! I'm watching television!

      Hans omma moder: But, Tyko! She just hung up on me! She said that she would call the Postmaster general.

      Hans strange fader: Poor fellow! He's probably watching television too. Be quiet!

    A both funny, intelligent and warm film!
    "Sagan om Karl Bertil Jonssons julafton" might be the cutest Swedish movie of all times. It's about Karl Bertil, the son of a very rich man, who steals Christmas presents from the rich and give them to the poor.

    The movie is both funny, intelligent and warm. And even though it´s quite simple, it really touches my heart.

    The film is sent on Swedish television every Christmas Eve, and Christmas would not be the same without it.
