BACKGROUND STORY |
Director Lasse Ring did not forget Greta, he already worked with her on How not to Dress and he was selecting her to essay another comedic role in a promotional piece he directed for the Consumer's Cooperative Association of Stockholm. Her part was filmed on Sundays, Greta's day off from PUB. The twenty-sevenminute short, a veritable time-capsule vision of Stockholm in the early 1920s, depicts leisure activity in and around the capital city during the summer.
In an intriguing bit of foreshadowing, during the first sequence Greta and a group of friends have tea on the rooftop terrace of the Strand Hôtel, across the street from the Royal Dramatic Theatre. Greta finishes her coffee and pastry while the camera pans to reveal the popular actor Lars Hanson at an adjoining table.
