Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This Danish adaptation changed the original Famous Five names — George became Georgina, and the dog Timmy became Tim, presumably because Danish tongues rebelled.
Katrine Hedman was one of few women directing family films in 1960s Scandinavia; this was her second of three Famous Five adaptations.
