SCHMEERGUNTZ
BY
Gunvor Nelson & Dorothy Wiley

This was the film that set everything in motion. Schmeerguntz, coined after Nelson’s father’s non-sense word for sandwich (‘smörgås’ in Swedish), is a hilarious, grotesque and grave attack on the public ideal of the American housewife. Critic Ernest Callenbach wrote in excitement that ‘A society which hides its animal functions beneath a shiny public surface deserves to have such films as Schmeerguntz shown everywhere’.
