Plot

During the German occupation of Norway, nightclub owner Tor Lindblom (Såheim) makes a fortune by collaborating with the Germans. With the help of SS-Sturmbannführer Krüger (Otto), he plans to exploit the construction of a new aluminium plant for his own benefit. At the same time he is also romantically involved with Eva Karlsen (Nystrøm), a singer at the nightclub, who is a British double agent.

Reception

Norwegian reviewers were generally negative in their view of Betrayal. In a review for newspaper Verdens Gang, Morten Ståle Nilsen gave it a "die throw" of two and called the film an "awkward amateur night".[1] Ingunn Økland of Aftenposten gave it three points, calling it a "missed opportunity" to make what could have been "an important Norwegian war film".[2]
