Gulltransporten

The transport of the Norwegian gold and silver which started on the day Norway got occupied by the German war machine April 9th 1940 is an amazing story, but the story seem to be over dramatized. The film is well made, with solid effects and good quality, and this is in fact the mot expensive Norwegian move made for streaming ever, made by Viaplay for their streaming services all across. A solid A-team of Norwegian actors are doing well in the movie, but it's sad that a couple of them, especially Axel Bøyum is acting this as it was a comedy. Why? Well, that said. Apart from this the film is rather entertaining, and it does what it should; Make you read about the true story.

This movie is based on real events (Flight of the Norwegian National Treasury) that is not that well known among most people and as a story it works fine. I didn't originally know the details of the actual event so I wasn't sure how much is true. One thing I did look up was the female character Nini who looked like a modern invention to add some women to an otherwise male war. She fought in Spain during the civil war and here she suddenly helps out her secretary brother rescuing the gold from the Germans. Nini Gleditsch is for real indeed, and even the flamboyant Norwegian poet Nordahl Grieg was on this journey. It is otherwise well-known that he died in an air raid over Berlin. (For good measure they could even have included Norway's legendary prime minister Einar Gerhardsen in the film, but they have left him out.) All in all, it's a good and uncomplicated movie about Norway in WW2 and one of the few highlights in the defence.
