The sledge-hammer approach is evident in this comedy in which popular Danish comedians Dirch Passer, Jørgen Ryg and Preben Kaas play has-been actors plotting a bank heist that includes tunnelling through Copenhagen's main railway station. Being actors, albeit out-of-work ones, the three don a series of more-or-less comical disguises in order to fool the local gendarmerie. Non Danes might have trouble warming up to gap-toothed Passer, the country's foremost comic of his day, and it is frankly hard to believe that this cinematic whale was created by the same director who won an Academy Award ten years later for Babette's Feast (1987). ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

His estranged wife accidentally reads a letter written by one of his many satisfied partners.

In this oddball farce, Mr. S is completely fed up with the efforts of his overly protective government to shield him and his countrymen from all the viscissitudes of life and decides that he wishes to commit suicide. In order to do the job properly, he enrolls in something known as the School for Suicide, a state-run institution. This bizarre outfit then evaluates him in humorous ways for his "normalcy," and he eventually emerges with the proper credentials from the state which will permit him to do himself in. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
