Bertil Schütt

Bertil Schütt was born on Jun 11, 1909 in Sweden. Bertil Schütt's big-screen debut came with Sköna Susanna och gubbarna directed by Erik Strandmark in 1959.

Swedish absurdist writer. The life he lead was as absurd as his books. He was the older brother of Roland Schutt, who wrote the book "Kadisbellan" ("The Slingshot"), that became a successful movie. In it you can see the older brother (Bertil) training boxing with the little brother (Roland) as a punch bag. Their mother was a Jewish seamstress and father a socialist agitator in Stockholm. Bertil's autobiography "En skuggboxares memoarer" ("Memoirs of a shadow boxer") came out in 1972.
