    En krigshjältes vanära och återupprättelse - A war hero's honour and exoneration

    Det vore synd att låta denna film passera obemärkt förbi då den uppvisar uppenbara förtjänster som torde uppmärksammas. Manuset är skrivet av ingen mindre än Sven Stolpe, varför det är synnerligen välskrivet även om det förekommer brister. Den största är väl den att Stolpe helt missat den historiska poängen: Varför blev Bernadotte så fruktansvärt upprörd när Döbeln på eget initiativ undsatte Hamburg och räddade staden från Napoleon? Därför att Bernadotte då ännu inte hade bestämt sig om han skulle stödja Napoleon eller de allierade. Genom Döbelns initiativ hade Bernadotte inte längre något val, utan han måste gå i lag med de allierade. Därför blev Bernadotte fullständigt ursinnig för att Döbeln berövade honom hans initiativ och avgjorde hans ställningstagande i stället för han själv. Detta kan ha avgjort hela kriget, till de allierades fördel. Döbeln blev satt på fästning för insubordination, och Sven Stolpe har utbroderat incidenten med att även omfatta en krystad kärleksintrig och ett misslyckat revolutionsförsök. Men skådespelarinsatserna är strålande, Poul Reumert briljerar som Bernadotte, och Edvin Adolphson gör en känslig rolltolkning av von Döbeln. Det är en stor svensk historisk film av betydande dramatisk kvalitet.

    It would be a shame to let this film pass by unnoticed as it displays obvious merits that should be observed. The script is written by none other than Sven Stolpe, which is why it is extremely well written even if there are flaws. The biggest one is probably that Stolpe completely missed the historical point: Why was Bernadotte so terribly upset when Döbeln on his own initiative came to the rescue of Hamburg and saved the city from Napoleon? Because Bernadotte had not yet decided whether to support Napoleon or the Allies. Through Döbeln's initiative, Bernadotte no longer had a choice, but he had to join forces with the Allies. Therefore, Bernadotte was completely furious that Döbeln deprived him of his initiative and decided his position for him. This may have decided the entire war, in favour of the Allies. Döbeln was imprisoned for insubordination, and Sven Stolpe has embellished the incident to include a convoluted love plot and a failed revolution attempt. But the acting is brilliant, Poul Reumert shines as Bernadotte, and Edvin Adolphson makes a sensitive interpretation of von Döbeln. It is a great Swedish historical film of considerable dramatic quality.
