   No, that is not the Swedish title of the movie, but it is the only   
   one I recall where Taube played. But it was a TV-series. (While he   
   played in some movies and TV-series, he is more known as singer,   
   and not the least for performing his father's songs who make up an   
   integral part of the Swedish cultural heritage.)
