* AwardSnub: ''Att Angöra En Brygga'' -- a well-reviewed comedy classic which as of 2020 ''still'' boosts the second highest number of sold tickets for a domestic Swedish movie... was not even accepted into the 1966 Cannes Film Festival! Averted in Barcelona, where it took home the "Best Colour Film" award of that year, and in its native Sweden, where director Tage Danielsson won a Chaplin prize for his work.



* HilariousInHindsight: "Ensamholmen" translates out to... Music/TheLonelyIsland.

to:

* HilariousInHindsight: HarsherInHindsight: This was Katie Rolfsen's last film, [[spoiler: and her character dies -- along with the rest of the cast --after getting stranded in the archipelago.]] The following year, she would lose her life in a boating accident.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** A hammy Swedish man preparing regular meals in an over-the-top fashion? Viewers of ''WebVideo/RegularOrdinarySwedishMealTime'' might get some Déjà vu...

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Aside from the vintage fashion and cars, the film's opening scene in Stockholm also shows what is now known as Evert Taube's Terrace sans the statue erected InMemoriam of the musician, as he was still alive at the time. Incidentally, one of Taube's songs -- The Ballad of Gustaf Blom from Borås -- is sung in the film (by Walter as he gets dragged behind [[NitroBoost the firework-boosted boat]]), and the man himself would later write the TitleThemeTune to (and cameo in) ''Film/TheAppleWar'', a movie which shares the screenwriters and much of their ProductionPosse with ''Att Angöra En Brygga''.

to:

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: SpoofAesop: Not necessarily a ''bad'' aesop, but the sheer RefugeInAudacity of including it after such a SuddenDownerEnding pushes it into this.

** Mr. Garbo references some then-recent Hollywood films, (his hat throw is a ShoutOut to Film/{{Goldfinger}}, released the previous year), and as of the passing of Creator/ShirleyTemple in 2014, none of his celebrity pen pals are any longer with us. Then there is the fact that he carries out his correspondance entirely through physical letters, especially since he has to travel back and forth to the mainland to post/retrieve them.
** The plot of the film simply wouldn't have happened after the advent of cell phones (which its closing text just about manages to ''predict!'') For that matter, "Televerket" was not only renamed "Telia" in 1993, but simultaneously lost its monopoly on telecommunication. A later film promoting it so blatantly would be considered brand advertising.

* LoveToHate: Mr. Garbo. Hans Alfredson lends his ComicalOverreaction chops to a barely comprehensible, LaughablyEvil villain with a Hollywood obsession. The result is a hilarious character who's still enough of a petty, trigger-happy {{Jerkass}} that Inez kicking his ass feels like well-earned karma.

* MisaimedFandom: A meta example. With Monica Zetterlund's BraggingThemeTune becoming somewhat of a BreakawayPopHit, there are listeners who don't realize that said bragging is meant to be [[SarcasmMode very sarcastic.]]

to:

* GrowingTheBeard: This was the movie which firmly established Hans Alfredson and Tage Danielsson as talented ''filmmakers'' as opposed to "just" a pair of funny writers branching out into screenplays.
