The Greeneyed Elephant (Template:Langx) is a 1960 Danish body-swap comedy directed by Peter Guildbrassen and Sidney W. Pink. It stars Naura Hayden and Delphi Lawrence, and includes Dirch Passer playing a smaller role though top-billed in the marketing.[1]
Premise
Two aspiring actresses accidentally use an ancient Aztec elephant sculpture to switch bodies, thus combining their inner and outer talents, making it possible for one of them to land a coveted role. Based on the novel Turnabout (1931) by Thorne Smith.

Production
The film is in fact a TV pilot that became a feature film.[2]
Reception
The film is seen as the Danish example of the trope that is body swapping.[3] As the other two films made by Pink in Denmark, The Green-Eyed Elephant offers no erotic content and was very poorly received by Danish critics[4]
