Here Stockholm children during the 1950s are lining up to see an American Western on Sunday (Sondag). I can't make out the title which would help us date the image.

American children did not as commonly go to the movies on Sunday as so many attend Church and are egaged in Church activities. Mny American parents did not think it quite appropriate to go to the movies on Sunday. Here the children are going to see an Americam film, but Sweden has an important film industry of its own.
