Trysil-Knut is a Norwegian film from 1942. [1] Rasmus Breistein directed this skiing melodrama [2] during the German occupation of Norway. It tells the story of the legendary skier Knut from Trysil, an ardent patriot at the beginning of the 1800s who uses his skiing skills to prevent war from breaking out between Norway and Sweden. Knut also wins back his "princess" and a property that he was cheated out of. [3]

Like many of the Norwegian films from the interwar period or the occupation years, this is an adventure story. Breistein's point of departure for the story was a popular novel by Rudolf Muus from 1914, and he was also inspired by Bernt Lund's poem from 1861 and by Ole Haugen-Flermoe  [ no ]'s story from 1909.
