Running time
Op med hodet! (literally, Up with Your Head!, or Cheer Up!)[1][2] is a Norwegian comedy film from 1934. It was directed by Tancred Ibsen and produced by Erling Bergendahl. The actors appearing in the film include Lillebil Ibsen, Lalla Carlsen, and Leif Juster.[3][4] The film was very experimental for its time,[3] and it included special effects, multiple exposures, reverse motion, and color sequences.[1]
The title of the film is a reference to the opening line of a poem in Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's novel En glad Gut (A Happy Boy): "Løft ditt hode, du raske gutt!" (Lift your head, you restless youth!), spoken by a Bjørnson statue in the film.[1]
