A brief History: Filmens Vovehals


(Daredevil of the Movie)
Production date: 1923

This film to promote Emilie Sannom (1886-1931) is made up of extracts from eight films produced by Danish film company Filmfabriken Danmarks. The title Filmens Vovehals, literally means Films of a daredevil.

 

Emilie Sannom had more than thirty or so films to her name. She started at the age of 23 in Apachepigens hævn (The revenge of the apache girl) in 1909, a film by Cal Alsrup. She also appeared in the comedy of manners København ved Nat where she performed a dishevelled primitive dance.

 

Her career was cut short tragically when her parachute refused to open during an air show in 1931.
