Synopsis by Hans J. Wollstein
The final film in the original series of 13 Danish comedy-capers, Olsen Banden Over Alle Bjerge was a direct sequel to Olsen Bandens Flugt Over Plankeværket and maintains the same high level of comedic farce and zany satire that distinguished its predecessors. The gigantic insurance company "High Northern" (the series was of course produced by Great Northern!) is again the target of the three swindlers, who this time travel all the way to Paris to get the goods on master-villain Bang-Johansen (Bjøern Watt-Boolsen). Although the series thus ended on a high note, this film proved a sad farewell to Kirsten Walther), whose ditzy Yvonne had become synonymous with "Olsen Gang" humor. The incomparable redhead, whose heartfelt bits of nonsense never failed to evoke sidesplitting laughter, died in 1987.
