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 , 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 a property that he was cheated out of and his "princess."^[3]

Like many of the 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 [no]'s story from 1909.^[4]
