The Great Edvard Persson Box Vol 2

SIX FILMS WITH EDVARD PERSSON

In the sequel to the first box office hit, the cheerful Scanian Edvard Persson packs his bags to travel to the royal capital. In five classic comedies, filmed from Värmdö to Gamla Stan, Edvard takes on clumsy Stockholmers in a way that received applause from both audiences and critics. Not least “Saturday Nights”, which, alongside “Pensionat Paradiset” and “Söderkåkar”, is classified as one of the greatest pilsner films. But of course, an Edvard Persson box is not complete without a Scanian masterpiece. So here we also offer one of Edvard's most famous films... the adventure hit “Snapphanar”!
