Bill Bergson and the White Rose Rescue (1953 film)

Bill Bergson and the White Rose Rescue (original Swedish title: Mästerdetektiven och Rasmus) is a 1953 Swedish film. It is based on the novel with the same name, written by Astrid Lindgren.

About the film

The film had premiere at the cinema Olympia in Stockholm on 16 November 1953. The film was recorded at Bogesund (Vaxholm), Sala and in studio in Stockholm.

There are differences between the book and this film:

• "Vita Rosen" (Kalle, Anders and Eva-Lotta) see the kidnapping after "waring" to "Röda Rosen" but here they see it from a hut where they slept.
• In the book, Nicke is not arrested, and "Röda Rosen" (Sixten, Benka and Jonte) don't make birds by the document papers.
• When the kidnappers are escaping with the floatplane, Kalle cuts one of the plane's floats, but here he instead uses a rope tying the plane on a boat where policeman Björk sits and then the plane can't go upwards.
