==Movie==
The 1952 movie musical ''Hans Christian Andersen'' paints a completely fictional picture of Andersen. Danish critics hated the picture, and one of them said "It will cost America's reputation so much that it will take the United States Information Service in Denmark fifty years to make up the loss." They also complained that the scenery and costumes looked German rather than Danish. It was nevertheless a huge success and is still a beloved film. U. S. critics praised Danny Kaye's performance, the songs by Frank Loesser, and "such lovely ballet dancing as been seldom seen in films."
