Andersson’s Kalle

1934 · 77 min

A gentle old-fashioned comedy of mischief, light and playful, with a warm nostalgic glow and little at stake.

Overview
Mrs. Andersson’s Kalle is the typical 'Söderkis'. It's a boy growing up on Söder in Stockholm and he is very fond of practical jokes. His mother sees him as a good natured boy but his victims, mostly the local policeman and two old crones in the same house, see him as the devil himself.
