Knut Jespersen (played by Henki Kolstad) is the manager of a record company. He wants to be a man about town, and one night he meets the seductive nightclub singer Anita Daae (Ingerid Vardund). His wife Randi (Nanna Stenersen) seeks advice from the architect Hans Falkenberg (Knut M. Hansson), and to win her man back she decides to change.
In the scene where Anita Daae meets Knut Jespersen for the first time, Ingerid Vardund wore a costume made by the Norwegian fashion designer William Duborgh Jensen. Sverre Wilberg made his film screen debut in this film. The roles of the two oldest children in the Jespersen family were played by Trulte Heide Steen and Jon Heggedal, who were both theater school students when the film was shot.
After the premiere of the film at the Saga Cinema, it received four out of six stars from one reviewer.[3] In his assessment, the reviewer found the topic (the wife over the sink and taking care of the children) a bit off-putting, stating "This is probably a problem that will disappear with the next generation, when our government's welfare policy has completely driven all married women into working life." When the film was broadcast on NRK television in 1974, parallels were drawn to the film Støv på hjernen, which was also from 1959.[4]
