Because I bought the complete works of Dutch movie maker Bert Haanstra, I came across a film he made with (and about) Simon Carmiggelt called "You used to laugh about it". Simon wrote after the second world war every day a short story in a newspaper. These stories (Kronkels) were very funny and populair. Some of them are fixed in the collective Dutch memory. I started rereading them this week and most of them didn't lost their charm at all, even after 50 years or so.
