Revolutionens datter

1918 · 52 min Comedy Drama Romance
4.8 / 10 · TMDB

REVOLUTIONENS DATTER starred Danish boxer Waldemar Holberg. Holberg held a version (Australian) of the welterweight title for a month in 1914. From what I could see he made two films, in Norway in 1918, while fighting there from 1917 to 1919. So his film's survival rate is 50%. Billed as a 'folke komedie' in 4 acts (I saw no comedy), it does end with the obligatory boxing match. An interesting note is that the actor playing his opponent is Fred Boston. Waldemar Holberg knocked out a boxer named Fred Boston in Oslo in 1918, but it is Boston's only recorded match. Makes one wonder.....

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the clash between aristocratic and working-class worlds, using boxing as a metaphor for social struggle. It relies on simple, yet period-effective dramatic devices to frame a heart-versus-prejudice story.

What lingers after the final bell is the peculiar charm of a historical artifact, where the lead's real sports biography subtly echoes within the plot, offering a raw glimpse into early filmmaking. — MovieFinder Editorial
