Den Spanske Flue

About This Movie

Den Spanske Flue is one of those quirky little TV movies that captures the essence of farce quite well. Set in 1915 Christiania, it unfolds in the chaotic home of Ludvik Klinke, a businessman trying to juggle his demanding wife and the fate of his daughter's love life. The humor tends to be slapstick, but there’s also a layer of social commentary lurking beneath the surface. The pacing is a bit uneven, with some scenes dragging while others hit that sweet spot of comedic timing. It has a certain charm, especially in how it portrays the absurdity of familial relationships, and the casting brings a lively energy that keeps it engaging despite its flaws. The practical effects are quite minimal, but they serve the narrative just fine. It's a unique glimpse into TV comedy of the era, and certainly worth exploring for those who appreciate the genre’s history.
