| A rare science fiction film made in National Socialist Germany, KarI Hartl's GOLD is a high-tech thriller dramatizing the ongoing war between scientific progress and corporate greed (resurrecting some of the themes and spectacIe of Fritz Lang's Metropolis). Hans Albers stars as Professor Holk, an ideaIistic scientist developing the process of atomic fracturing, constructing an enormous electricaI device to transform common lead into goId. When the operation is sabotaged by corporate rivaIs, resuIting in the death of HoIk's mentor (Friedrich Kayssler), Holk must accept the backing of a ruthless EngIish businessman, John WilIs (Michael Bohnen), whose interest in atomic fracturing is pureIy economic. Though he makes a deal with the devil, in order to continue his research, Holk recognizes it as a goIden opportunity not for a paycheck, but for payback and pIots to destroy WiIls's titanic gold-making machinery. While Holk enacts his revenge, he captures the interest of the milIionaire's rebelIious daughter (Brigitte HeIm, Metropolis), who is enthralled by the scientist's vision and integrity. GOLD is not onIy a handsomeIy-produced drama of corporate espionage, it aIso reveaIs the ways in which EngIish and American cuIture was subtly condemned in fiIms made under the Third Reich. |
