Baronessen fra benzintanken

This movie is one of the greatest movies ever made in denmark, and it is better than the new "Dogme-movie" which was popular in the late 90'ies. The movie is about a young girl (Ghitha Nørby) at a gas station who suddenly discover that she is the lawfull successor of a baroness (Maria Garland). The young girl (Anne) moves to the land steward and has to be trained to be a fine woman. For exapmle must Anne learn french which she pronounces quite funny. The dilemma is between Anne and the baroness, and gradually they learn to appreciate the way they are, but now without some conflicts... Naturally Anne falls in love (or does she?). Put together is the movie a great movie full of funny episodes and Maria Garland and Dirch Passer makes the movie worth seeing again and again and again...You never get to se the movie too many times. I hope that you agree,

Gitta Nørby and Dirch Passer are just simply great in this movie about a sweet young girl who works as a mechanic when she suddenly finds out she is the heiress to a beautiful estate/castle. The complication which follows when she has to move into the castle and suddenly become a "fin dame" educated woman is extremly funny. Ove sprogø and karl stegger are just great to. The castle's ghost is also very funny and the battle between the Rosenstens and the Ravenfelds are superb. The elderly baroness and the young Gitta Nørby's controversy gives the movie an extra dimension.

The funny scene at dinner: Skal jeg sige det på den måde...Ja gør som jeg siger...meget vel......

Baronnessen fra Benzintanken is a Danish comedy film directed by Annelise Reenberg, released in 1960. The story follows the widow Baroness Alvilda von Rosensten (played by Maria Garland) who, after the death of her only son Jørgen, finds out that her estate is about to be taken over by her arch-rivals Clarissa Rabenfeldt (Erni Arneson) and her son Henning Rabenfeldt (Henrik Wiehe). However, when the family lawyer discovers a letter written by Helene Tofte, it is revealed that Jørgen had a child born out of wedlock, making that child the rightful heir to the estate. The baroness sends the lawyer to find the child, who turns out to be a beautiful young woman named Anne Tofte (Ghita Nørby) living with her uncle Lars Tofte (Ove Sprogøe) and his friend Hans Høj (Dirch Passer) at a gas station in Rønby. The story follows the family as Anne is brought to the estate and introduced to the household and the various conflicts that arise.

The film has a fun and light-hearted tone and is well-acted by the cast, particularly Ghita Nørby, Dirch Passer, and Ove Sprogøe, who are noted for outshining the rest of the cast. The story is less important than the informal family dynamic and the humorous situations that arise from it. While the film drags a little at times, it is an enjoyable watch overall. A shorter runtime of 15 minutes might have benefited the film. Overall, I would rate Baronnessen fra Benzintanken 7 out of 10 stars.
