Baldevins bryllup (English: Baldevin's wedding) is a 1926 Norwegian comedy film directed by George Schnéevoigt, starring Einar Sissener and Victor Bernau. The film is based on a play by Vilhelm Krag, and tells the story of how Simen Sørensen (Bernau) manages to get his friend Baldevin Jonassen (Sissener) married to the lady next door. The film was renovated in 2006, for the 100th anniversary of Kristiansand Cinema.[1]
Baldevin and Simen strike up a friendship during a voyage, but eventually part ways. Years later, Simen is wedded to a prosperous widow. Upon Baldevin's return to town, Simen endeavors to secure his friend's prosperity by arranging a marriage with another widow. As they navigate their newfound relationships, both men strive to conceal their dubious pasts. However, the widows harbor secrets of their own. Ultimately, when the truths come to light, the situation is resolved harmoniously, culminating in yet another wedding.
