Radio tekee murron

'Radio tekee murron' is about the time when radio was the greatest everyday entertainment for people. The film presents a reporter who commits a burglary into an art gallery and then waits to get busted while reporting it all to the listeners. Hannes Häyrinen plays a decent role as a radio reporter who due to some misunderstandings is persecuted by the police. Most of the film is about this pursuit and even if there will be no big surprises, the film is as a whole quite enjoyable experience. In many old SF-films there are way too many scenes that are not entertaining to modern viewers but 'Radio tekee murron' does not suffer from this lameness. The film as a whole is very dynamic because nobody tries to be too funny and there will be no overacting either. Modern viewers may compare Häyrinen's character to one of Finland's more recent radio personalities, namely Pertti Salovaara. Those who know military history will spot a WW2 fighter ace Oiva Tuominen in a brief cameo in the beginning of the film.
