Arne Mattson's Rotagg was released variously in English-speaking countries as Failure, Incorrigible and Bad Eggs. All of these opprobriums refer to the wastrelly protagonist played by Stig Olin. Expelled from college, Olin shows no remorse, causing even more disgrace and heartache for his wealthy, long-suffering family. He tops his misdeeds by attempting to rape a beautiful young lady. The film argues that Olin might have been redeemable had he not been the child of divorced parents. American prints of Rotagg were considerably toned down and chopped up by the censors. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide less
