Nobel Prize winner Knut Hamsun’s immortal novel “Victoria” from 1898 was the original LOVE STORY (remember Eric Segal’s publishing bonanza and Paramount’s box office smash hit from 1970). It has everything a cinema audience could wish for: young love, class conflict, beautiful costumes, glorious settings and in the end a heartbreaking tragedy when Victoria on her deathbed confesses her true love to the man she didn’t get and should have had.
