Funny, I’ve just finished reading the book. I wonder how the film will compare.

Hello Martin!
On first glance I would say it is HA-LIX – the Li-2 of the Goldtimer Foundation in Hungary.
Except for the writing on the upper fuselage the paint scheme and serial would fit…
Kind regards,
Thomas
It is HA-LIX. The writing has been applied for the movie (the film is Swedish, hence Scandinavian, and the filming was partly done in Hungary).

IIRC the entry door is on the right on the Li-2, the DC3 has the door on the left (or port side)

Not exactly. Roughly the military built ones (C-47, C-53) were lefthanders. Pre-war DC-3’s were quite often righthanders regarding doors. The Li-2 design was based on pre-war DC-3’s imported into Russia, hence the RH-door.
