𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙒𝙖𝙧 𝙄𝙄 * 𝘼𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 * 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 * 𝙏𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙧💥💥 After two years under German rule, a small Norwegian fishing village rises up and revolts against the occupying Nazis. It's two years after the Nazi's invasion of Norway, and in a small fishing village that is headquarters to one hundred fifty German soldiers, the eight hundred locals are stewing, waiting for a supply of arms so they can revolt. Leaders include Karen Stensgard (Ann Sheridan), whose father, Dr. Martin Stensgard (Walter Huston), is not all that sure that an open revolt will accomplish much, and whose brother has previously proven to be disloyal to Norway, and Gunnar Brogge (Errol Flynn), a fisherman who was planning to sail to England to fight, but changed his mind on hearing of English arms being delivered. Although the Nazi's cruelty is evident, the townspeople bide their time, until one incident causes the stewpot to boil over.
Movie Trivia
According to the book "The Films of World War II" by Joe Morella, Edward Z. Epstein and John Griggs, the production was beset by many problems. The book states, "Ann Sheridan parted from husband George Brent; Errol Flynn was indicted for rape; location shooting in a small California town was delayed several weeks because of fog, during which Ruth Gordon and Judith Anderson were besieged with telegrams from Katharine Cornell demanding their return to New York for her stage production of 'The Three Sisters'. Miss Gordon was restrained from leaving, but not before letting it be known that she hated Hollywood and the picture. Fortunately for Warners, the fog lifted, Flynn was acquitted, and the film was completed."
Errol Flynn was criticized for playing heroes in World War II movies. Tony Thomas, in his book "Errol Flynn: The Spy Who Never Was", states that Flynn had tried to enlist in every branch of the armed services he could, but was rejected as unfit for service on the grounds of his health--he had a heart condition, tuberculosis, malaria, and a back problem. He felt he could contribute to America's war effort by appearing in such movies as Northern Pursuit (1943), Dive Bomber (1941), Objective, Burma! (1945), and Uncertain Glory (1944). Reportedly, he was at his most professional and cooperative while working on these movies. Warner Bros. managed to keep reports about his health problems from being made public because they were afraid it might affect his box-office draw.
When a character refers to a traitorous Nazi collaborator (like Karen's brother, Johann) he's called a "quisling". This term comes from a Norwegian fascist supporter of Nazi Germany's occupation, Vidkun Quisling, a former army officer who served as a puppet prime minister for the Nazis. He was tried for treason by Norway and executed in 1945 after its liberation.
