''Egil'' Sophus Severen Holmsen (February 15, 1917 – May 30, 1990) was a Swedish film director, screenwriter, journalist, author and actor. He was the younger brother of author Sverre Holmsen. == Career == Holmsen initially worked as a journalist until he transitioned into the film industry as an actor. He debuted in Alf Sjöberg's ''Home from Babylon'' in 1941. He continued to work as an actor during the 1940s, until he began to direct and write scrips for various major production companies. In 1947, he debuted as a director with ''The Battle for the Coffee'' and as a screenwriter with ''City in the South''. Holmsen followed with three coming-of-age films in the 1950s, ''Dangerous Curve'' in 1952, followed by ''Marianne'' and ''Speedfever'' in 1953. All three films depicted young teenagers in the criminal underworld of Stockholm.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/Item/?type=PERSON&itemid=61234&iv=OVERVIEW )〕 Holmsen was heavily criticized after the release of ''Marianne'', as it explored themes considered taboo at the time such as teenage sex, drugs and lesbian love. His next film ''Speedfever'' was also panned as it depicted crime and gay prostitution, which also caused it to be heavily censored. Holmsen's spree of controversial films did not end, as his following film, ''The Horse Handler's Girls'', contained a provocative end scene featuring incest. It was his last feature film as a director.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas/Item/?type=PERSON&itemid=61234&iv=OVERVIEW )〕 During the 1950s to the 1970s, Holmsen continued writing scripts, particularly for several housewife films. Holmsen then revived his acting career in 1972 starring in the adult film ''Swedish Wildcats''. He later starred in ''Champagne Gallop'' (1975), ''The Brothers Lionheart'' (1977), ''Dante - watch out for the Shark!'' (1978) and the TV show ''Stakeout'' (1983), which became his last role.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0392181/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 )〕 Holmsen began to write novels in the 1980s. His bibliography comprises ''Explosives'' (1981), ''Inheritance'' (1982) and ''In Goddesses Womb'' (1985).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://libris.kb.se/hitlist?q=egil+holmsen&r=&f=simp&t=v&s=rc&g=&m=25 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Egil Holmsen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
