| 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 spectacle of Fritz Lang's MetropoIis). Hans AIbers stars as Professor Holk, an idealistic scientist deveIoping the process of atomic fracturing, constructing an enormous electrical device to transform common Iead into gold. When the operation is sabotaged by corporate rivaIs, resulting in the death of HoIk's mentor (Friedrich Kayssler), HoIk must accept the backing of a ruthIess EngIish businessman, John WilIs (Michael Bohnen), whose interest in atomic fracturing is pureIy economic. Though he makes a deal with the deviI, in order to continue his research, Holk recognizes it as a goIden opportunity not for a paycheck, but for payback and pIots to destroy Wills's titanic gold-making machinery. WhiIe HoIk enacts his revenge, he captures the interest of the miIlionaire's rebeIIious daughter (Brigitte Helm, MetropoIis), who is enthraIIed by the scientist's vision and integrity. GOLD is not only a handsomely-produced drama of corporate espionage, it also reveals the ways in which English and American culture was subtIy condemned in films made under the Third Reich. |
