История
Sven Hugo Borg was born in Vinslöv, Skåne län, Sweden. Early in his career, Borg was a secretary with the Swedish Consulate in Los Angeles.

He served as Garbo's interpreter from 1925 to 1929.
After interpreting for Greta, Borg decided to pursue acting as a career. He had done some dramatic work on the Swedish stage. He continued to remain with the consulate until the late 1930s.
Borg became much in demand during World War II Hollywood films, playing both Nazi officers and Scandinavian resistance fighters. Throughout his acting career, Borg was an actor who portrayed a wide range of many different characters, e.g.Sverre-King of Norway in The Crusades.
He died in 1981 at the age of 84 in Los Angeles, California.

German Soldier
Фильм сделан во время Второй мировой войны, когда любая картина по определению должна была выполнять некие пропагандистские функции. Но при этом в фильме нет ни малейшего следа какой-либо пропаганды. Более того, с формальной точки зрения, этот фильм просто не соответствует своей задаче. О картине «Эта земля моя» Франсуа Трюффо написал, что это «самый презираемый американский фильм Жана Ренуара», главный герой которого, скромный школьный учитель Альбер Лори в блестящем исполнении Чарлза Лаутона, «боится бомбежек, любит свою старую мать, свои удобства и свой стакан молока, почитает инспектора учебного округа и оккупационные власти...» и просто отчаянный трус. Но он находит в себе силы перед лицом неминуемой смерти выступить на суде с пламенной речью, обличающей нацизм.

The otherwise standard Ken Maynard western Death Rides the Range is distinguished somewhat by a topical slant. The plot concerns a group of spies from an unnamed foreign country (gee, they sure sound German) who head westward to undermine American morale. Into this malaise wanders Maynard, supposedly a rootless cowpoke but in reality an FBI agent. Things begin to heat up when the villains lay claim to a helium well on the property owned by heroine Fay McKenzie. The film's silliest moment occurs in mid-stream, when chief villain Charlie King begins beating up everyone within arm's length, with nary a scratch on his own person.
