The Greeneyed Elephant (Danish: Elefanter på loftet) is a 1960 Danish family film directed by Peter Guildbrassen and starring Dirch Passer.[1]
Two aspiring actresses stumble upon an ancient Aztec elephant sculpture that can be used to transfer their body into the other. Based on the novel Turnabout(1931) by Thorne Smith.
The film is in fact a TV pilot that became a feature film.[2]
The film is seen as the Danish example of the trope that is body swapping.[3] As the other two films made by Pink in Denmark, The Green-Eyed Elephant offers no erotic content and was very poorly received by Danish critics[4]
