Fjols til fjells

Fjols til fjells or Fools in the Mountains is a Norwegian situation comedy film released in 1957. It is one of the most popular Norwegian films of all time. It is considered one of Edith Carlmar's best films and is one of her few forays into the comedy genre as she was known primarily for social dramas about women's issues.
Plot.
When two guests who look exactly alike arrive at Hurlumhei hotel, the manager Poppe, thinking they are one person, begins questioning if he's going mad. Teddy Winter is a famous suave actor while the other (an unnamed ornithologist) is a geeky professor. Soon the actor's ex-lovers, an actress named Eva Sommer and a famous model named Mona Miller join them at the hotel adding to the confusion. The model mistakenly makes sexual advances on the professor which angers him. When he spurns her this also puts Teddy Winter into hot water. The actress catches word of this and is also angered. Poppe is driven up the wall by all this. Meanwhile, the daughter of the hotel director disguises herself as a bellhop at the hotel to prove to her father that she's not just a spoiled child. The bellhop figures everything out and sorts out all the confusion to Poppe. She marries Poppe and everything ends happily with Winter back with the actress and the ornithologist now with the model.
