Swedish Marriage Manual (1969)

February 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Original title: Ur karlekens sprak
Year: 1969
Runtime: 1 hour 42 minutes
Country: Sweden
Language: English (dubbed)
Subtitles: None
Genre: Documentary | Drama

Director: Torgny Wickman

Cast:
Inge Hegeler
Sten Hegeler

Ewert Granholm
Göthe Grefbo
Margaretha Henriksson
Berit Hindersson
Barbro Hiort af Ornäs … Harmonious Wife
Gösta Krantz
Conny Lind
Lennart Lindberg
Lasse Lundberg

Plot/Synopsis:
A modern advanced film about sexual education an behaviour based on the clinical research made by famous American and Swedish doctors. The film centres around a panel; Inge and Sten Hegeler, Maj-Brith Bergstroem-Walan and Sture Cullhed, all well known, reputable experts, who have devoted their scientific studies to the various fields of sexual life. The film deals with all kinds of problems connected with the sexual relationship of people. Whilst every question is discussed by the panel., the film illustrates; the difference between male and female sexual organs and their functions, positions, and authentic coition whereby a split screen system is used enabling us to see the various reactions in different parts of the body. In connection with this as well as in other parts of the film, diagrams and animations are used to simplify the understanding of the complicated reactions which occur when a person is under sexual stimulus…
This is a real curiosity from the vaults, a late 60s Swedish sex education film which became an enormous box office hit across Europe and even, when it was finally released uncut with an X certificate, in the UK in 1973 (it was initially refused a certificate); this is historically interesting, as The Language of Love (as it was titled in English speaking markets) features some sections of actual hardcore footage, with close ups of fingers masturbating vaginas and a penis penetrating one. The film is apparently meant as a serious attempt to allay people’s fears and misconceptions about sex & improve the sex lives of heterosexual couples, but undoubtedly the enormous box office success of the film was due to the prurient interest of the public.
