Kipparikvartetti

In Kipparikvartetti from 1952 directed by Ville Salminen we see how this Finnish music group got their start.In a funny and rather fictional way, of course.The group consisted of Olavi Virta, Auvo Nuotio, Teijo Joutsela and Kauko Käyhkö.They all show their comical talents.Even Virta can be awfully funny with his face expressions and all.Other people in this movie do a fine job, as well.Liisa Tuomi plays Raija Rahkala.Eero Roine is Säveltäjä Harri Vuorivirta.Leo Lähteenmäki is Laurence van Döven.Kaisu Leppänen plays Vuorineuvoksetar Rahala.Paavo Jännes plays Vuorineuvos Rahala.Heikki Savolainen is Pönttö.The great, yet so small Masa Niemi is Jussi the janitor.Varma Lahtinen is her Mrs.Armas Jokio is an opera singer.Pentti Irjala plays a musician.Matti Oravisto plays a constable.There's obviously a lot of music heard in this movie.Kipparikvartetti had the talent in the music industry.My favorite song which is also heard in this movie is Muurari.This may not represent movie-making at its finest but it does offer the old time fun.Finnish movies aren't so much fun anymore.
