phd_travel This Danish made and filmed movie about the rescue of Jews in WW2 is quite good even though there are a few unnecessary faults and it can feel awkward compared to a Hollywood movie like Counterfeit Traitor. The use of many Danish actors and the on location filming makes this a very authentic non glamorized war movie. It's quite delightful to see a very young and beautiful Jane Seymour dancing ballet. She plays the daughter of the family. There is no contrived romance to get in the way. There are no crazy heroics either or overly sadistic Nazi monsters. One gets to see a broad view of how the Danish helped the Jews escape by train boat hiding hospitals etc.There is a rather intrusive music that distracts from certain scenes. Worth a watch.

lauriejameson To put it simply...just awful. The dialogue was boring, poorly delivered, and the characters were dull. One other tidbit, the musical score was at best, generic, at worst mundane. I can't imagine what they were thinking. I forced myself to watch it to the end because it was a short film, and the subject matter had such potential. I expected to be engaged and looked forward to learning something about WWII that I had never read about before. I was looking forward to seeing a young Jane Seymour, but even that was a disappointment. I suppose if you are a huge fan of Denmark, this might hold some interest for you; but otherwise, you would be better off watching a rerun of Hogan's Heroes.

macz I wish I could say something positive about this film. I suspect the other review was written by a Dane who is related to the film's director, or possibly one of the actors. But I'm sure it was a Dane!The script is quite dreadful. The characters are wooden and one dimensional and deliver their lines like robots. There are some fine Danish actors in this film who should not have necessarily been hindered by playing their respective parts in English. However, with such an awful script, no actor in the world could have injected life into such dreary dialogue. I hope a contemporary Danish film maker will have the courage to tell this important story again one day. With a proper storyline. And a proper script.

Bronze With great acting on all accounts with other good aspect (including Art/Set decoration and Music Score) this becomes a great movie detailing about the heroism of the Danish Christians in protecting their Jews from the Nazis. All actors perform brilliantly making this a should-see movie. Especially for movies telling about Danes helping to save their Jewish population from the Nazi concentration camps.
