Dette er 1. del af historien om filmmanden Lau Lauritzen juniors utrolige karriere i dansk film, der strakte sig fra 1929 til 1969. Det er samtidig historien om det filmselskab, som han var med til at skabe – ASA Film. Et væsentligt – men overset – kapitel i den danske filmhistorie. Lau Lauritzen jun. var filmmand i ordets egentlige forstand. Han stod i mesterlære hos sin far, den kendte stumfilmsinstruktør Lau Lauritzen senior, og lærte hos ham filmhåndværket fra grunden. Da han gør sin entré i dansk film, er det som gag-man, fotograf og manuskriptforfatter til nogle af sin fars populære Fy og Bi-film. Efterfølgende var han med til at gennemføre overgangen fra stum- til talefilm hos A/S Palladium Film, inden han debuterede som spillefilmsinstruktør i en alder af bare 24 år, og sideløbende stod for et pionerarbejde inden for dansk reklamefilm. Selvom Lau Lauritzen jun. aldrig havde stået på en teaterscene, medvirkede han i en række film som skuespiller, og blev i 1930’erne en af landets mest populære filmhelte. I de tidlige år hos Palladium Film og efter etableringen af ASA Film, var Lau Lauritzen jun. med til at skabe den folkelige tradition inden for dansk underholdningsfilm, og medvirkede sideløbende til en bølge af mere alvorlige film under besættelsen, hvor ASA lagde sig i spidsen af den danske filmproduktion. Besættelsen var samtidig en tid, hvor ASA bevægede sig ud i en farlig balancegang mellem samarbejdspolitik og modstandskamp. I sit virke indenfor dansk film samarbejdede Lau Lauritzen jun. med personligheder som Alice O’Fredericks, Ib Schønberg, Poul Reichhardt, Bodil Ipsen og Lisbeth Movin, som han giftede sig med. Samt filmproducenterne Svend Nielsen, John Olsen, Henning Karmark og Aage Stentoft. Bogen indeholder også en omfattende filmografi og detaljerede gennemgange af film som ”Barken Margrethe af Danmark”, ”Panserbasse”, ”Blåvand melder storm”, ”Pas på svinget i Solby”, ”Frk. Kirkemus”, ”Søren Søndervold”, ”De røde enge”, ”Støt står den danske sømand” m.fl. Bøgerne om Lau jun. er 60 års dansk filmhistorie set fra Lau Lauritzens synsvinkel. Denne 1. del dækker perioden 1910 – 1945.
