Stig Lommer is not regarded a prolific film director, but he was a cabaret manager of astonishing caliber during the heyday of musical song and dance theatrical shows in the Forties and the Fifties and even longer than that. This film's claim to fame is that it has preserved some crazy footage of Svend Asmussen and his Danish Sextet around 1950. The barely existing excuse for an intrigue is the trouble between two couples on a seaside resort, where the bandmaster Asmussen consoles a neglected wife. To divert attention when the husband finds out, he fakes a suicide pretending to be in love with someone else. However the woman believes that to be true, so Asmussen is in bigger trouble than before, of course in a non committed almost slapstick fashion in this lightly performed musical dish. The funny performances of Asmussen also in real life existing band are hilarious, hitting the peak with a spoof on a national football game with the Danish archenemy Sweden. On top we have the whole string of Lommer's chorus girls in swimsuits running teasingly along the beach.
