Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Edge of Darkness is a 1943 American World War II propaganda film directed by Lewis Milestone, starring Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, and Walter Huston.It is set in 1942 in the fictional port town of Trollness, Norway. Trollness has been under German occupation for two years along with the rest of Norway. Gunnar Brogge (Flynn), a fisherman, is leader of the local resistance group. The resistance in Trollness has heretofore been content with low-level activities like sabotage at the local fish cannery, but Brogge is eagerly awaiting a British submarine which is expected to deliver a large cache of arms. The people of Trollness plan to rise up against the occupiers, along with other coastal towns in Norway, once the arms are delivered.Gunnar's girlfriend Karen (Sheridan) is also in the resistance and is just as determined as he is to fight the Germans. However this is not true of the rest of Karen's family. Her father Martin Stensgard (Huston) is skeptical of active resistance, believing that the people of Trollness should basically lay low and avoid confrontation with the Germans. Karen's uncle Kaspar, Martin's brother-in-law, is far worse, an active collaborationist who supports the Germans. And Karen's brother Johann was a quisling who submitted to the Germans in 1940.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare Commandos Strike at Dawn (1942), a film with a similar story about resistance in a Norwegian fishing village. | |

| Edge of Darkness (1943) / int_fea42091 | comment |
Badass Preacher: The town pastor urges his people not to rebel against the Germans, calling it "murder". At the climax of the movie, the preacher, up in the cupola of his church, watches the Germans deploying to face the oncoming citizens of the town. He prays to God to forgive people that are fighting for their freedom. Then he whips out a previously unseen machine gun and wipes out the German skirmish line. | |
