Saga Studios


Saga Studio was a film production company in Denmark founded by John Olsen. Several years after Olsen co-founded ASA Film Studio with Lau Lauritzen Jr. and Henning Karmark, there was a falling out between the partners over financial issues. Olsen took his interests and opened Saga Studio as a separate company in 1942, which included a film studio, film rental business and the Saga Cinema, becoming the fourth largest film production company in Denmark and known for their comedy films. More than 80 films were produced by the studio from 1942 through 1974. Some of its most successful films were the popular comedies of Danish comedian Dirch Passer.
