Saga Studios

Saga Studio (or Saga Film A/S) 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,[1] becoming the fourth largest film production company in Denmark and known for their comedy films.[2] More than 80 films were produced by the studio from 1942 through 1974.[3] Some of its most successful films were the popular comedies of Danish comedian Dirch Passer.[1]
