danish criminal juvenile delinquant
A 17 year old very handsome Anton arrives in Copenhagen with hope to work. Instead, he finds himself at a hoodlum's place he meets in a pub. That hoodlum, who looks like Robert Blake, teaches him how to leave that pub with an older man, take him to his flat, and the hoodlum breaks in with a friend to blackmail and rob the older man. Anton falls in love with the hoodlum's sister, but his actual girlfriend from countryside arrives ... From 1957, Bundfald is far more intelligent than american juvenile delinquents movies (directed by Fred Sears or EL Cahn). First, all the casting is great, especially Ib Mossin as Anton, long tall blond danish handsome young man. The hoodlum really looks like Robert Blake and his sister is a pin up but not looking too much stupid. And the direction is intelligent, it announces very well the different twists with great cinematography. Fine noir discovery.
