The glass in the ear

About This Movie

So, 'The Glass in the Ear' is quite the curiosity from the mid-70s. It’s a revue featuring Hans Alfredson and Tage Danielsson, bringing together comedy and music in a way that's distinctly Swedish. The atmosphere feels intimate, like you’re part of a live audience experience, especially since it was recorded at Berns in Stockholm. The pacing is lively, but there’s also a kind of reflective quality in the music and humor that invites you to just sit back and enjoy the moments. The performances are charming—there’s something about the duo's chemistry that just works, making it feel both spontaneous and crafted at the same time. It’s a neat piece of cultural history if you’re into that sort of thing.

Finding 'The Glass in the Ear' can be a bit tricky, as it's not as widely circulated as other TV movies from that era. Most copies are likely to be VHS or early digital transfers, which can come with a certain nostalgia but also some wear. Collectors seem to appreciate its unique charm and cultural significance, particularly within Scandinavian cinema, making it a noteworthy piece for those interested in the evolution of televised performances.
