Filmens Vovehals
Daredevil of the Movie
Year: 1923

Emilie Sannom was a Danish daredevil. These compiled film extracts are proof of that. They mixed scenes of action and scenes from the circus and the stunts were often staggering: whether beneath the water or in the air, on a wire or the sail of a windmill, the protagonist was always heroic. Her dresses, bottoms and flowery hats suffered from every ordeal imaginable: climbing, abseiling, the improbable chasing of a cowboy all the way to a submarine, acrobatics on a plane in full flight. This cool actress has remained in the memory of Danish cinema as a "death-dodger".
