Storfolk og småfolk (Important People and Common People) is a Norwegian black-and-white comedy film from 1951 directed by Tancred Ibsen.[1][2] Ibsen also write the script for the film. The film is based on five stories by Hans Aanrud[3] and the action is set in rural Norway. It follows both high and low society, including village characters, wealthy individuals, farmers, and "old timers."

The film was quite well received. Aftenposten wrote "In Mari Smehaugen and I bestefars ærend you feel something of the inner warmth and joy you had when you read the story in Aanrud's own language." Dagbladet wrote that "a number of our top actors appear and create down-to-earth theater sketches."[4]
