Saga Studios

Saga Studio (or Saga Film A/S) was a film production company in Denmark founded by John Olsen. The company existed from 1942 to 1976.

Several years after Olsen co-founded ASA Film Studio with Lau Lauritzen Jr. and Henning Karmark, there was a falling out between the partners over financial issues. Olsen took his interests and opened Saga Studio as a separate company in 1942, which included a film studio, film rental business and the Saga Cinema, becoming the fourth-largest film production company in Denmark; it was known for its comedy films. Poul Bang, brother of Bang & Olufsen founder Peter Bang, worked as a production manager and director for the studio.

More than 80 films were produced by the studio from 1942 through 1974. Some of its most successful films were the popular comedies of Danish comedian Dirch Passer.
