Änglar, finns dom? (1961)
Excellent script, acting and directing
This movie, based on the novel by John Einar Åberg, is one of the all time Swedish classics and after watching it I can really see why. The ingenious acting of Jarl Kulle and Christina Schollin is in comparison with some of my all time favorites such as Bogart and Bergman in Casablanca. The character Jan Froman is an earlier (and happier) version of Bud Foxx in Wall Street who can be seen coming from below and getting rich on the stock market. Love Mates (Änglar finns dom?) is a romantic comedy with warmth, humor and joy. This film was made before the days of Hugh Grant, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon and the rest of the actors who managed to destroy this genre.
All together, this is a must-see film for all movie lovers with the slightest interest in Swedish movie history.
