Jenny and the Soldier (Danish: Soldaten og Jenny) is a 1947 Danish dramatic film written and directed by Johan Jacobsen.[1] The black-and-white film is based on the 1940 stage play Brudstykker af et mønster (lit. 'Fragments of a pattern') written by Danish playwright Carl Erik Soya. The gritty romantic drama received critical praise for its authentic portrayal of everyday life. Jacobsen received the first Bodil Award for Best Danish Film, while both Poul Reichhardt and Bodil Kjer were awarded Bodils for their leading roles. Jenny and the Soldier is one of the twelve films listed in Denmark's cultural canon by the Danish Ministry of Culture.[2]
