Roinilan talossa (1935) shows a nostalgic country idyll.Iivari Tuomisto plays a man who runs the farm.Rauni Luoma is his daughter Anna who's in love with Mauno, Roinilan pehtoori (Toivo Palmroth).Kaarlo Kartio plays Ojalan Olli who wants to make Anna his wife so he tells lies about Mauno.Laila Rihte is Ojalan Elli who has feelings for Roinilan Eero (Eero Eloranta) and he feels the same way.But he keeps making her laugh with his dirty hands.This Erkki Karu's movie is based on the great Finnish author's Minna Canth's play.Artturi Järviluoma made the movie script.The acting work is superb.Toivo Palmroth, also known as Palomurto, is brilliant and so is Eero Eloranta.Kaarlo Kartio, who did extremely funny job in those Lapatossu movies playing Vinski is fantastic in this movie.Hemmo Kallio plays Meri-Matti, and he's very funny with his all right and jees and the singing.Rauni Luoma is wonderful and also very pretty.And so is Laila Rihte, who's just delightful in the movie.Kaisu Puuska is Sillankorvan Sanna who likes to gossip around.She does a great role work.Eija Hiltunen makes a wonderful Kaisa.Roinilan talossa shows the old times of Finland when the horses did the work on the fields and things were very different.Better, in many places.This movie is partially awfully funny and it also has some dramatic moments.They're well balanced in the movie.The contemporary critics liked the movie more than the critics of today.It shouldn't be so.Even though the time passes why should it mean the movies of that time get worse.You should be able to watch the movies with the eyes of that era.Don't be too modern.
