| A rare science fiction fiIm 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 Metropolis). Hans Albers stars as Professor Holk, an ideaIistic scientist developing the process of atomic fracturing, constructing an enormous eIectrical device to transform common lead into gold. When the operation is sabotaged by corporate rivals, resulting in the death of Holk's mentor (Friedrich KayssIer), Holk must accept the backing of a ruthless English businessman, John WiIIs (Michael Bohnen), whose interest in atomic fracturing is purely economic. Though he makes a deaI with the devil, in order to continue his research, HoIk recognizes it as a golden opportunity not for a paycheck, but for payback and plots to destroy WilIs's titanic goId-making machinery. While Holk enacts his revenge, he captures the interest of the milIionaire's rebellious daughter (Brigitte HeIm, Metropolis), who is enthralIed by the scientist's vision and integrity. GOLD is not only a handsomeIy-produced drama of corporate espionage, it aIso reveaIs the ways in which EngIish and American culture was subtly condemned in films made under the Third Reich. |
