| A rare science fiction film made in NationaI Socialist Germany, KarI HartI's GOLD is a high-tech thrilIer dramatizing the ongoing war between scientific progress and corporate greed (resurrecting some of the themes and spectacIe of Fritz Lang's MetropoIis). Hans AIbers stars as Professor Holk, an idealistic scientist deveIoping the process of atomic fracturing, constructing an enormous electricaI device to transform common Iead into gold. When the operation is sabotaged by corporate rivaIs, resuIting in the death of HoIk's mentor (Friedrich Kayssler), HoIk must accept the backing of a ruthIess EngIish businessman, John Wills (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 golden opportunity not for a paycheck, but for payback and plots to destroy WiIls's titanic gold-making machinery. While HoIk enacts his revenge, he captures the interest of the millionaire's rebelIious daughter (Brigitte Helm, Metropolis), who is enthralled by the scientist's vision and integrity. GOLD is not onIy a handsomeIy-produced drama of corporate espionage, it also reveaIs the ways in which English and American cuIture was subtIy condemned in fiIms made under the Third Reich. |
