Box set with six classic Swedish sports films: Hans livs match, I gult och blått, Prästen som slog knockout, Brudar och bollar, Den hårda leken & Tini-Kling

THE KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR! Studio S strikes hard with the most unique DVD box set of the year, combining laughter, tears, and adrenaline-fueled drama around two of the world's most popular sports... soccer and boxing!

At ringside and corner flags, you'll find the cream of Swedish acting talent, such as Åke Söderblom, Thor Modén, and Åke Grönberg, as well as the cream of Swedish soccer talent. In two of the feature films, the Swedish national soccer team (both the 1931 and 1942 versions) appear as themselves.

DEN STORA SPORTBOXEN is packed with bonus material and will delight anyone with even the slightest interest in sports and nostalgia. Good heavens, it even has a priest who knocks someone out!
