Nordiska museet, Djurgården
In reviewThe former Public Relations agent poses as a reporter working on a biography about Victor Danemore. However, Britta (Ingrid Thulin) suspects that her mother knows more about the connection between Lindquist and Danemore. Dave uses his charm and is spontaneously invited by Britta to the Lindquists' summer estate, which is located in the Stockholm archipelago. The dialogue scene in the taxi was of course shot by using rear projection, whereby the Nordiska museet (Nordic museum) on the Djurgården island can be seen in the rear window during the ride along the boulevard-like Strandvägen at the Östermalm district. — recorded for Foreign Intrigue by Reelstreets.
