It shouldn't be hard to determine that the English-language title of this Swedish melodrama is Dynamite. Adapted from the novel by Harald Beijier, the film chronicles the exploits of a saboteur who specializes in explosives. Bengt Ekeroth plays the dynamiter with depth and understanding: the audience can almost, but not quite, empathize with his motives. Ironically, the release of Dyamit was held up by the censors due to a real-life "Saturday Saboteur" who'd been wreaking havoc all over Sweden. Only after the arrest of this miscreant did the censors give the go-ahead for the film's distribution -- and then only after several judicious cuts. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
