Well-made Swedish entertainment for the whole family!
At the honorable firm Alltjänst AB, Ragnar Vanheden (Ulf Brunnberg), Dynamit-Harry (Björn Gustafson), and receptionist Doris (Birgitta Andersson) sit and wait for the phone to ring and give them a mission. There has indeed been a lull on the assignment front...
When the phone suddenly rings and an elderly lady gives the gang a mission, things go into full gear. Granted, the mission is a bit odd, but what does that matter? The "dough" will come rolling in, hopefully!
Here is the situation: The shady Wall-Enberg intends, via a computer heist, to seize the Royal Opera's entire EU grant! How does the client—who incidentally is Sickan's grandmother—know this? Well, during a trip, she overheard an "interesting" conversation regarding this very coup...
The Sicilian mafia is involved, so the conspirators are not to be trifled with. Signore (Johan Rabaeus) is the boss, and he and his right-hand man Roberto (Ola Forssmed) are "real tough guys"! The outgoing opera director (Helge Skoog) is in league with the mafia gang.
After a gala performance of Wagner's "Das Rheingold," a meeting is to take place, and the "loot" divided. Alltjänst AB intends to put a stop to that...
New to the gang is also Sickan's little brother Sven-Ingvar Jönsson (Johan Ulveson), who still lives at home with Grandma Jönsson. He is to assist in swiping the loot from the "Franz Jaeger safe" deep down in the Opera's basement vaults—all while the gala performance of "Das Rheingold" proceeds.
The business with "Das Rheingold" should be taken with a grain of salt, as the audience also gets excerpts from other parts of "Der Ring des Nibelungen"... In any case, the tenor Bajron (Dan Ekborg) does everything he can to carry out a performance that has been heavily infiltrated by Alltjänst AB...
Everyone in the film did a good job, but I missed Sickan!
The script for the film was written by Björn Gustafson, who also stars in the role of Dynamit-Harry. The film was recorded at the Royal Opera in Stockholm and in Milan, among other places. The music is performed by the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
