About It Happened One Night
Based on a true story this almost documentary-like drama tells the story of a young woman doctor who in 1942, helped several Jewish children escape for the border to neutral Sweden. Not knowing who to trust and chased by the germans, the flight quickly turns into a tense fight for their life.
Directed by Sigval Maartmann-Moe, It Happened One Night leans on a strong ensemble — Anne-Lise Tangstad, Joachim Holst-Jensen, Lalla Carlsen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1958.
