Interesting facts

There's a Fire Burning is a 1943 Swedish drama film directed by Gustaf Molander and starring Inga Tidblad, Lars Hanson and Victor Sjöström. It was made at the Råsunda Studios in Stockholm. The film's sets were designed by the art director Arne Åkermark. Location shooting took place in Jämtland County. It was set in a thinly-disguised version of German-occupied Norway. This was part of a wider wartime strategy of setting films in unnamed countries adopted by the film industry in neutral Sweden. Molander directed a further film on a similar topic The Invisible Wall the following year.
