The last of Christensen's trilogy of socially engaged films for Nordisk, Come Home with Me is both the wittiest and most moving of the three, resembling at moments a Danish fusion of Frank Capra (You Can't Take It with You) and Eugene O'Neill. Danish theater legend Bodil Ipsen portrays a successful, altruistic attorney who can't help but invite home people in crisis who need guidance and a second chance. Johannes Meyer (the husband in Carl Dreyer's 1925 The Master of the House and the father in Christensen's Children of Divorce) plays Ipsen's ex-husband, a charming, roguish salesman-dreamer on a long, slow descent toward drunkenness, poverty, fraud, and prison. Christensen never had two more talented lead performers in a single film than here, and Ipsen and Meyer's scenes together, as John Ernst has suggested, manifest the most deeply human and fully realized characters in the entire Christensen oeuvre. Revealingly perhaps, this was the only screenplay among the director's films in which he had no creative hand.-Arne Lunde
