I'll Take Sweden (1965)

In the heart of American suburbia, Bob Holcomb, a driven oil executive, juggles his demanding career and the challenging role of a single father to his vivacious teenage daughter, JoJo. His life takes a tumultuous turn when JoJo falls head over heels for Kenny Klinger, a beach-dwelling, guitar-strumming charmer, who, in Bob’s opinion, falls short of his expectations for a prospective son-in-law. When an opportunity arises that requires a senior executive to oversee their operations in Stockholm, Bob seizes it, believing distance to be the perfect antidote to JoJo's ill-advised romance. As they navigate their new lives in the culturally distinct Swedish landscape, Bob finds himself drawn to the sophisticated Karin Grastetdt, an interior decorator assigned to adorn his new residence, while JoJo, much to her father's relief, is courted by the gentlemanly Erik Carlson, an employee of their oil company. However, Bob's relief is short-lived when JoJo and Erik announce their plans for a two-week holiday, pushing him to plot a desperate scheme - getting Kenny to Sweden to dismantle JoJo's blossoming relationship. Meanwhile, the liberal Swedish morals confront Bob, leading him to reconsider his traditional stance on marriage. "I'll Take Sweden" is a delightful blend of romance, family dynamics, and culture clash, underpinned by the timeless theme of a father's love and concern for his daughter. This captivating plot navigates the complexities of love, the intricacies of parenting, and the unexpected lessons one learns when plunged into a new environment.
