Hansen og Hansen (Hansen and Hansen) is a Norwegian film from 1941. It was directed by Alfred Maurstad.[1] The main roles were played by Liv Bredal and Carsten Winger. The film is based on Finn Bø's play Konge for en natt (King for One Night),[2] which had been staged at the New Theater. A competition was held for the best theme song for the film. Three hundred manuscripts were submitted, and Jens Larsen from Stavanger won.[3][4] Finn Bø then wrote the lyrics and title for the melody. The film was a great success at the cinema in 1941.
Plot
[edit]Carsten Winger stars as a young unknown man named Hansen that ends up in a boarding house in the western part of Oslo on the same day that another man named Hansen (Axel Kielland), a real charmer, is expected. A lot of strange things happen at this boarding house, including a fire. The "fake" Hansen is arrested instead of the charmer and playboy, who is later revealed to be a swindler. However, the misunderstanding is cleared up, and the real Hansen is caught by the long arm of the law. Winger is released and becomes engaged to the model Miss Nord (Liv Bredal).[5]
