Alexander Klein's The Counterfeit Tratior

The Counterfeit Traitor is based on the book of the same name by Alexander Klein (1918-2002). Published by Henry Holt in

secretly spied for the Allies during World War II.

Street, The Country Girl) also directed and co-produced with William Perlberg. Alfred Newman created the film's music
score.



The Counterfeit Tratior Cast

William Holden (Eric Erickson) and Lilli Palmer (Marianne Mollendorf) head the cast. Other players include Hugh Griffith
(Collins), Carl Raddatz (Otto Holtz), Ernst Schroder (Baron Gerhard von Oldenburg), Charles Regnier (Wilhelm Kortner),
Ingrid van Bergen (Hulda Windler), Helo Gutschwager (Hans Holtz), Wolfgang Preiss (Colonel Nordoff), Werner Peters
(Bruno Ulrich), Erica Beer (Klara Holtz), Stefan Schnabel (Gestapo Agent), Erik Schumann (German Gunboat Officer), Poul
Reichhardt (Fishing Boat Skipper) and Ulf Palme (Max Gumpel).



Budget, Filming Locations

Budgetet at $4.5 million, The Counterfeit Traitor was filmed on location in Sweden (Stockholm), Denmark (Copenhagen) and
Germany (Hamburg, West Berlin). Several Swedish and Danish coastal villages were also used.



Serving as an unofficial technical advisor on the production was the real Eric Erickson, who showed Lilli Palmer the
actual apartment where he and Marianne Mollendorf had met during the war.



The terrifying execution scene was filmed in the actual Moabit Prison yard in Berlin where Marianne had met her fate at
the hands of a Nazi firing squad. It was a difficult scene for Lilli Palmer, who had stood in front of the
bullet-riddled wall and began to tremble. After the scene had been completed, the assembled crew gave the actress a
standing ovation in tribute to her professionalism.



The Counterfiet Traitor Movie

The Counterfeit Tratior begins in Stockholm in 1942. A British Intelligence operative named Collins offers to get
Swedish oil broker Eric Erickson off the Allied blacklist if he agrees to spy for them on his business trips to Nazi
Germany.



Erickson recruits several of his German friends -- Baron von Oldenburg and Otto Holtz -- who have no love for Hitler's
Third Reich. Also passing on vital information is Marianne Mollendorf, the wife of a German colonel who is stationed in
France.



The Gestapo eventually catch on to Erickson's espionage activities, executing Marianne before his eyes in a prison yard
in Berlin. Eventually, Erickson has to flee Germany, making a harrowing escape back to Sweden with help from the
underground.



Release, Reviews

The Counterfeit Traitor opened in New York City on April 17, 1962.



"A first-rate spy picture, and those who relish this kind of thing should be careful not to miss it..."
reported Paul V. Beckley of The New York Herald Tribune (4/18/62).



Film Analysis

The Counterfeit Traitor is one of the finest espionage films of the 1960s, an absorbing account of real-life spy Eric
Erickson and his contributions to the Allied victory in World War II. How important was Erickson? According to Dwight D.
Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Erickson's extraordinary spy work "shortened the war by two
years."



William Holden gives a gripping performance as Erickson, with Lilli Palmer his equal as the doomed Marianne. The
supporting cast is outstanding, particularly Helo Gutschwager as a vile12-year-old Hitler Youth who threatens to blow
the whistle on his father's friend Erickson.



The Counterfeit Traitor is marked by scintillating dialog and a number of outstanding scenes. The latter include
Marianne's act of confession with a Gestapo agent posing as a priest, the aftermath of an Allied bombing raid and
Erickson's final leg to freedom aboard a Danish fishing boat.







"Strange...You can read about a hundred atrocities, hear about a thousand, but you only have to see one," a
shaken Baron von Oldenburg comments after witnessing the random hanging of a conscripted Pole by the Nazis.
