 This movie remained almost unseen for 57 years. It was based on a  real double murder in 1926, but when the film was set to premiere in  1950 one of the murderers, having served a full sentence, went to  court to have the film stopped. In 1954, the Norwegian Supreme Court  banned the film. Since then, only a few people have seen the film.  However, as of January 31st, 2007, the film will be available to the  public. A legal panel reviewed the film and found that it no longer  interferes with any persons right of privacy as all those involved  has since passed away. Also, the legal panel noted that had the same  case gone to trail today, the outcome would most likely have  differed, with freedom of speech outweighing the right to privacy.
