"He was larger than life itself". This is how Leif GW Persson begins the portrait of the man who has never ceased to fascinate him: Harry Söderman, also known as Revolver-Harry. During his lifetime known as the world's best detective, celebrated as a war hero, admired as an adventurer. Then a major player on the world stage, but now strangely forgotten. In the film about Revolver-Harry, Leif GW Persson tells us about a life so full of events at the center of history that it almost seems improbable.
Harry Söderman (Revolver-Harry), born August 24, 1902 in Hedvig Eleonora parish in Stockholm, died March 16, 1956 in Tangier, Morocco, was a Swedish engineer, doctor of philosophy, civil servant and forensic technician. He was director and chief director of the Statens Kriminaltekniska Anstalt (SKA) 1939–1953, and was also involved in building up a Norwegian police force in Sweden during the latter part of the Second World War.
