Dubbed?


I just saw the movie and was wondering if the film was dubbed. I don't think, but I could be wrong, that Max von Sydow speaks English without a Swedish accent. Normally I'm not a fan of dubbed movies, preferring to read the subtitles. This film appears to have both. I enjoyed it in spite of the assumed dubbing.

The script was in English (although as I believe the trivia page states, none of the principal actors was a native English speaker). It may have a "dubbed" feel about it because some of the lines were re-recorded in post-production, whether to save a bad take or because of unusable audio, I don't know. Sometimes this is very noticeable because it wasn't expertly done in some places, such as when "Gustav" addresses the public prosecutor during the "Jolly Automobile Hunt" sequence.
