==Production==
In the scene where Anita Daae meets Knut Jespersen for the first time, Ingerid Vardund wore a costume made by the Norwegian fashion designer [William Duborgh Jensen](/source/William_Duborgh_Jensen). Sverre Wilberg made his film screen debut in this film. The roles of the two oldest children in the Jespersen family were played by Trulte Heide Steen and Jon Heggedal, who were both theater school students when the film was shot.

==Reception==
After the premiere of the film at the [Saga Cinema](/source/Saga_Cinema_(Oslo)), it received four out of six stars from one reviewer.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Borthen |first1=Leif |title=Velskapt musikalsk familielystspill |work=Verdens Gang |date=August 18, 1959}}</ref> In his assessment, the reviewer found the topic (the wife over the sink and taking care of the children) a bit off-putting, stating "This is probably a problem that will disappear with the next generation, when our government's welfare policy has completely driven all married women into working life." When the film was broadcast on [NRK](/source/NRK) television in 1974, parallels were drawn to the film ''[Støv på hjernen](/source/St%C3%B8v_p%C3%A5_hjernen_(1959_film))'', which was also from 1959.<ref>{{cite news |title=Filmsuksess om ekteskapsproblemer, 'Fem loddrett' fra 1959 i TV |work=Verdens Gang |date=March 4, 1974}}</ref>
