## History

Several years after Olsen co-founded [ASA Film](/source/ASA_Film) Studio with [Lau Lauritzen Jr.](/source/Lau_Lauritzen_Jr.) and [Henning Karmark](/source/Henning_Karmark), there was a falling out between the partners over financial issues. Olsen took his interests and opened Saga Studio as a separate company in 1942, which included a film studio, film rental business and the [Saga Cinema](/source/Saga_Cinema),[1] becoming the fourth-largest film production company in Denmark; it was known for its comedy films.[2] [Poul Bang](/source/Poul_Bang), brother of [Bang & Olufsen](/source/Bang_%26_Olufsen) founder [Peter Bang](/source/Peter_Bang_(engineer)), worked as a production manager and director for the studio.[3]

More than 80 films were produced by the studio from 1942 through 1974.[4] Some of its most successful films were the popular comedies of [Danish](/source/Denmark) [comedian](/source/Comedian) [Dirch Passer](/source/Dirch_Passer).[1]
