Bill Bergson and the White Rose Rescue (1997 film)

Bill Bergson and the White Rose Rescue (original Swedish title: Kalle Blomkvist och Rasmus) is a 1997 Swedish film. It is based on the novel of the same name, written in 1953 by Astrid Lindgren. A previous film had been produced in the year of the book's publication.

About the film

There are several differences between the book and this film:

• At the kidnapping, it is Nicke who guards the car but in the book it is Svedberg, the fourth kidnapper, who is removed from the film.
• Anders and Kalle build a hut in the forest on the island, but in the film they live in a cave.
• The professor is locked in a room upstairs of the kidnappers' main house, but in the book he is locked in a small house.
• In the scene, when the children attack Nicke, Rasmus does not throw out Nicke's key through the window; instead he keeps it hidden in the house.
• The seaplane doesn't sink due to the float Kalle cut; instead he screws off the guy-wire of the plane so it is impossible to control it and then it crashes into a tower.
• In the film, the RövarsprÃ¥ket is never used.

The theme music Vår vitaste ros is written and produced by Peter and Nanne Grönvall and sung by Sanna Nielsen.
