Sus og dus på by'n (Carefree in the City) is a Norwegian comedy film in three episodes from 1968. It stars Arve Opsahl, Carsten Byhring, and Aud Schønemann. The film consists of three sequences, directed by Knut Andersen, Knut Bohwim, and Mattis Mathiesen, respectively.[1] [2]
It is one of many films based on books by the writer Egil Lian. His novel Sus og dus på by'n was published by Cappelen in 1965.[3]
The main characters in the story are Slegga, Reven, and Nelly. Slegga (Sledgehammer) is big and strong, kind, and maybe a little stupid. Reven (the Fox) is a completely different type. He is smart and a driven petty criminal. Nelly is also on the wrong side of the law, but her heart is in the right place. The trio go in and out of prison, but they find each other when they are all at large. The film's three sequences portray the jailbirds' activities and circle of friends in Oslo's underworld.[4]
