- TriviaThe film is reported to have become the most visited film of 2018 and was nominated for eleven Golden Calves, the first time a film received so many nominations for the award. It won four Golden Calves, among them the prize for Best Film and Best Actor. The film was also selected as the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film category at the 91st Academy Awards.
- GoofsAn important episode in the story of Walraven van Hall is his narrow escape at the barbershop, one of his many escapes. He had a meeting with a resistance fighter in the house located above the barbershop. On his way up, Van Hall was stopped by the hairdresser. The hairdresser forced him to have a shave. While he was sitting in the barber's chair, the Germans arrested the other resistance fighter. Van Hall escaped. This scene can be seen in the film, but with a huge shooting, in which a resistance fighter is murdered in cold blood in the street. In reality this never happened.

Featured review
The Dutch Resistance
Bankier van het Verzet, the Resistance Banker from 2018 is the true story of one of the great Dutch heroes, Walraven van Hall, who helped to finance the resistance during World War II.
The acting is superb in all respects, and it is a gripping if simplified story, and it was well-researched by the filmmakers.
Someone said they became confused in the middle - I don't know why, but I wasn't confused.
There are some uncomfortable scenes, but the film does show what the Dutch people suffered at the hands of the Nazis.
One suggestion - watch the film through the credits.
Evil thrives when good men do nothing. Walraven van Hall, his brother, and other resistance members were all good men. And they did plenty.
