Version of Gøngehøvdingen (1961)

Gøngehøvdingen

I have seen this movie "Gøngehøvdingen" and it is very good, it contains everything betrayal, love, sword fighting, action and one man's decision can make a whole kingdom to fall in the hands of it's enemies or it can restore peace and secure the hope of those who will give their life for their country. Søren Pilmark is a very good actor as Svend Poulsen or Gøngehøvdingen and so is Bent Mejding who plays the strong Swedish colonel Sparre. I think it's very heroic that Svend Poulsen will sacrifice everything to get 50.000 Rigsdaler (danish crones at that year) to give them to his king. The whole movie is very good recorded and the 1600 years cloth, weapon, language and buildings is very composed, a perfect movie to watch a day when its raining and or snowing.
