Now you can finally enjoy melodies like Fritiof and Carmensita, Calle Schewen's choice, The girl in Havana, No one is like you, Blickar är kvinnans invit and Land, du välsignade in this great-sounding box set with six captivating feature films. Four of them have never before been released on DVD. Studio S is proud to say it in tones and not in words!
