The Prize of Stockholm


Paul Newman, Elke Sommer, Diane Baker and the legendary Edward G. Robinson take a romp through Stockholm in the 1963 classic The Prize. Though the film was films on the soundstages of Hollywood, Stockholm, the Grand Hotel and the illustrious Nobel Prize are featured characters in this Hitchcock-esque feature not made by The Master of Suspense. Directed by Mark Robson, we take a look back at the filming during a visit to Stockholm.
