Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This aired during the real-life Bofors scandal, when Sweden's arms-dealing hypocrisy was exploding. Suddenly fictional spy hearings hit different.
Stellan Skarsgård played Hamilton in NINE adaptations of Jan Guillou's novels, making this essentially his audition for Hollywood's 'intense Scandinavian man' typecasting.
